The Esti of DEBUT—The noble duke opposite, is his

commeutement of anythiog like a siege, and as to preparing

whole wiener in the Crimes, that wasn't thought of, bat it
appeared that they thought they were going int/ Sebastopol
wituout difficulty. :her resources were inetficient from
the beginearg, sad it was from the want of resource that
the troops have been exposed to hardships from which they
might have been saved. *the troops had suffered from sheer
exhaastioo, and if they bad not been able to make good roads,
it was because Sep could not be spared from the trenches,
vs? Sir John Burgoyne said if they had ttonporseily with-
draws men from the trenches to make the road, the enemy
would have eeisAl the works, and there would have bees
doable work to do. The noble earl opposite said that they
took no r win i f the electric telegraph and the railroad, hat
Sir Jahn Burgoyne sad the reentries would have been of
wee um in anstiog the road in October, and why were
they not tent in o.:t.iber has', ad of to April ? The noble
earl talked of the inventious of modern times, hut railroads
were as well known in October as in Aoril—(a laugh)—and
be was at • I A. to unde-stand why it b •d not been made in
April. Toe Minister of Wu eald he erit quite surprised at•
the mention of employing the right pen us is the right

—(hear)—tot it wale Out be iireaied that the eummima-
run, the ' ranee, the medical ileparmente, had failed.
He as not suing to look into the various cases, and say
whether so and so w.s fit tor his duly, for it wee 'efficient
to look end .in, whether the services of toe depot-la:at. were
properly perturmsd. Tura was one department to which
he must wirer% and he begued the noble duke to believe
that he did not intend to say anything in the slightest de-
gree disrespectful of hits., for be would fraakly sty that of
the late uvenidiest there was no one more energetic,
and no one -Ito apAied himself more to the duties of hi.
Gain than the noble Oahe. (Cheers.) But he must say
that he di., not coat: with the noble lord who wee mainly
instrument,' io overthrowing the late ;Neter-meet, Mid
who had not done mush to ',apron the present. (A laugh.)
He could not agree with bite that it was a commendable
ambition in the noble mike to take the ' Bice of &mar, at
War, for test office required military knowledge that he
might be enabled re keep tho officers under am in order
and regularity. He should not have held the two offices
of Secretary at War and Secretary for the Colonies, but
should have been satisfied to take the dice of Secre•
tory fir War, and halo left every other department
untouched. Wes it not neeenary that the offices
connected with the war should be filled tor persons
having military knowledge.) There wee the Ordnance-
dace. The Master Gruerni of the animates was abeent in
the Crimea, end • lieutenant-genersi was appointed to per-
form pin of his Ala', but who did not possess all the
powers of the Master General of Cie Ordnance. The office
of Surveyor•Oeueral of the Ordnance was vacua; and the
next most important office was that of Clerk el the Ord-
nance, and that officer was the mnathpiece of the depict
most in the noun of Common. The office had hien tilled
acme yeses ago by the Commander in-Chief, by General
Peel, by Oenerel Fox, and by Colonel Duane, and up to
the period of the conuneneement of the war that office had
never been held by any but a milit ry man thoroughly
conversant wish such matters; but when that office
was required to exercise double activity, they put into
the ease a loan unacquainted with matters of war,
a very reopeets els g paean, ho believed, an Irish member
who had recently seen r moss to eha.ige his form of religion,
hat a men, se tar as he (Lord Derby) knew, who at the
moment he w-. 1 appointed Clerk of the °Maar', if he had
been asked to load a pistol, would have been very much
puzzled how to set about it—(laughter)—and knew no
more than a Kobe unborn about military affeirs—was that
the right men in the right place ? (" Hear, hear," and
cheers.) The noble duke the Minister at War wit not •
military man, and ought therefore to hove had military
advisers, and yet for the first time is history the expo-
nent of the Ordnance and the organ of the minister at
the cummeneemoat of a war was • civiliaa, although the
office in time of peace had always bees filled by military
men. He aid tot wish tone alarms, against the gentleman
who had been the duke's Under &enter, at the Colonial-
office, and who now represented the War Department in the
other hones, but he knew nothing in the antecedent. of Mr.
F. Peel that rendered him capable of explaining or ad-
vising on military affair., or of being the immediate repro-
galantine°, the War Department in one Lonna of parliament.
He bad eel. red these non because they Ind been chal-
lenged to point cut as instants in which the right man had
not been pat in the right place. He had not gone to the
departments out of parliament, but to these is parliament,
sod more immediately connected with the government, and
had nova • departure from the principle, and that
those appointments had not been made sole;y sad
alone with • view to the exigoaties and advanco•
