THE tIABDINIAN CONTINGENT.

Lord W. ORA.Ii AK asked the lint Link of trie Treasury
whetter the commissariat supplies for the Bardioian con-
tingent were to be furnished gratis, or whether the ezpense
would be deducted from the amount •if the loan.

Lord PALMERS roN said that the Sardinian govern-
ment, according to the original agreement, were to furnish
their own supplies, and take charge of their own com-
missariat; and with that view they loaded two large
meets with provisions at Genoa. One of those
vessels was unfortunately burned a few dsys after
leaving port, with the consequent lose of • great
quantity of stores. That would render the Sananian
troops dependent on our commisrariat for a portion of their
supplies, but whatever they might derive from that source
they would pay for, just as for any other commissariat sup
plies. Payment would be made for what they reoeived
without making any addition to the loan.
EDUCATIONAL BILL.
Sir J. PARING TON appealed to the government to name
as early a day me possible fur resuming the debate on the
Edneatios Bill.
Lord PALMERSTON acknowledged the great import-
saes of the subject, but from the necessity of pressing the
Scans al measures it would be impossible to rams any city
before the Whitson holidays; but he would name aa early a
day after them as possible.
Lord J. RUSSELL intimated his Intention of postponing
the Education Bill which stood la his name on the votes till
the house disposed of the bill of the right hon. gentleman,
and he hoped the right hon. member fur Manchester would
do the same with regard to his bid.
THE POLICY OF AUSTRIA.

Major REID begged to ask the Fait Lard of the
Treasury a question of which he had not given notioe ;
whether the allied powers had received any positive decla-
ration as to the part Austria intended to take in the present
struggle ; whether she was to be an active or passive ally;
and if active, whether her activity was to be immediate?
Lord PALMERSTON—I am sure, sir, the house will
enlist me if I decline entering into any details. (" Hear,
bear," sad laughter.)

Majesty to give her meet to a bill of the legislature of Vic-
toria, to istabials a asnetitutica in and for the colony of
