Mr. BEN CINCH menJ that Sir 0. Tyler be substituted
for Sir 0. C. Lewis upon this committee. He thought it
woe sito,t desirable diatoms of the members of the senualttais,
at least, should be a naval officer. Into naval affairs the
maamittes would certaioly have to inquire, and it was there-
fore most desirable to have a gentleman upon it who would
be able to understand the details of that service which
mould come Rader emsiiirraiioo. He quite concurred la

what Mid been said by the right haw "
fllled the offices of First Lord of the y Mal Chan-
seller of the Exchequer, that great eastiom wee ssameal7 is
the appointment of ibis committee. It might be said, why
did he vote for it ? He did not hesitate to state in reply,
that he looked upon the motion for tee committee a'iir-

the house will draw the conelssiee. When I pat the
names of the 'teatimes whom I intended to move as mina-
bins of this committee, I found I had made • mistake ;
they did not meet the wishes or posses the timadinthe of
the house. I therefore waited upon the noble lord at the
head of the government, and made a propositioe to him. It
was this ; that the government should °boom six of the
members of the committee, and I should choose *even •
and that these names should be stOimitted to the house
for its decision. The noble lord entertained my pro-
position. To whom did I then go ? To the right
hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire
(Mr. Disraeli), and, in conjunction with him, I
named the seven members of the committee. Mama the
▪ eominated by the noble lord (Paltnenten) was Sir G. C.
Lewis; he has ceased to be one of the committee; hem* it
is that acting upon the understanding which existed ht.

Mr. DEEDES felt some dlesslfy with teapot to this
question. He bad so desire to prevent the erreapment
to which the boa. and learned member (Mr. Roebuck)
bad referred being carried out ; at the Name time he
thought it most desirable that a naval officer should be
upon the committee. Of the two objects, he felt himself
hound spar the whole to regard the latter as 0 the greater
important*, and he should therefore support the motion.
it 0. PECHELL also supported the motion, considering
it ~ads to the due efficiency of the committee that a
naval akar should be upon it.
The house divided :
For the motion 74
Against B7-13
Mr. ROEBUCK then proposed that Sir J Hamner be
substituted is lieu of Biz G. C. Lewis is the Army before

Sebastopol Committee.
Lord ROTHAbi rose to oppose the motion, when
The SPEAKER interposed, and said at that hour (10
minutes to six o'clock) no matter, unless unopposed, could
be proceeded with.
Colonel DUNNE pee notice, that when the subject was
again before the house he should propose that Admiral
Walcott be appointed, in lien of Sir G. C. Lewis.
Tee remaining business upon the paper was disposed of,
and the house adjourned at five minutes to six o'clock.
