THE cReirLEY COUIMMARTIAL
Mr. A. MILLS pet reties that, ea the 23rd laeteet,
Mshould move, " That a return be lead oe the table
a the house showier/ the expenses oceseumed by the court. on Lieut. -Ca Crawley, distinguish/off the propor-
tions to be defrayed from Impend sad Indian meatier re-
spectively."

Mr. FORTESCCE asked the Midler-Secretary of Sttea
for War whether he would lay upon the table of the house
the procasilitigs of the late court-martial oa Colossi Crawley,
together with theplasis Wined to in the didesce ; and
whether, with a view to the elucidative el such pleas, an
opportunity would be added to members of the house of
inspecting the models produced before the court-martial,
The Marquis of WILMINGTON said he stated last see-
-11/013, in reference to the proceedings of the Mbow court-
martial, that it was sot man, and would not be advisable,
that the prooeedisp of a mart-martial should be laid before
the House of Commas for its revision, but under the
peculiar cdratindruaose of the ease if a copy of the proceed-
ings were moved for there would be so objection to lay it
before the house. As the court mania which bad recently
been held at &Mershon was the natural sequel to the pro-
ceeding, of the Mow court-martial, which 1,0111 already
before the house, there would be so objection oa the part
of the ment to follow the same ammo which they
adopted bat year, sod if the hosourable member moved
for the production -f the promedisp they would be laid
before the house. They would be scomisaied by pleas
sad drawings with accurate measurements, which would
amble mod hot:curable member to maddened the pro-
misdhige. With regard to the models, se they tamed pert

this he attributed to the course of lerrialatioe in recent

Mr. HADIPTELD wished to hare some explanation of the
paragraph is the royal speech as to the appointment of a
, commission for inquiring into the mode of relieving the

Sir G. GREY wished to remorse:rose the boss. member
the apprehension that the object of the commissioe ap-
petaled for the soviet= of the forms of subeeriptioo sad
declaration wee to relieve the elergymea from subeeriptioe,
and allow them to teach any doctrine which they enter-
tabled. The ban. member seemed to ammo that the pare-
graph in the speech intimated that clertymee were to be
relieved frees enbeesipties, but Mist was Wally contrary to
the intuition of the oommissioss. The terse of the eons-
missies, which would be Yid before parliament, morosely
reoogaised subscriptioa as the principle from which the'
commission would start, sod subscription would be mein-
' Mined, with a view to secure a enfacieet agreement in the
doctrines of the church, but without those different forms l
'et desierstios wiudt were ambiguous, sad gave
vim to different interpret•tions. He booed the

most injurious to the interests of the established
church of Woad to have subscriptions altogether abo-
lished and her eleraymen permitted to teach any &Idris*,
while they were hound to adhere to the doctrines of that
church. 'With rested es the pearl, endowed elerop, aor
