TEE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1864.

shim, we bad only the old round shot. Our ships had they
guns, sod the Admiralty was intent open providing the
ee►y Kith the most erecto►e armament. He hosestly
believed. he said, that in 'aspect to guns we were more 'ad-
vanced than the French. . _ _

In the ensuing discussion, which was shared by General
Peel, Lord Lovaine, Sir F. Bering, and Sir F. Smith, some
of the preceding topics were intermingled.
Mr. H. SEYMOUR inquired whether it was the inten-
tion of her Majesty's government during the present session
to introduce measures for the reform of the ecclesiastical
courts and re-gistr.ee in England.
Sir G. lIRET said the Lord Chancellor hoped to be able
to propose a bill during the present session.
The house then went into a committee of supple on the
navy estimates, and the vote of 1,V5,0001. for the wages of
nriitleers in the dockyards and establishments at home was
put and pronounced carried by the Chairman.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, upon finding that the vote was
agreed to, complained that hon. members bad been taken
completely by surprise, inasmuch as it was understood that
the civil lord of the Admiralty would eater into some ex-
planation of the reasons for an augmentation of 3,000 in
the number of men and on other points of detail.
Mr. LLNIASAY also protested against the hasty and
precipitate manner in which this vote had been put and
carried, and observed that Mr. Stansfeld was evidently pre-
paired to make a statement, but was pulled down and pre•
vented doing so for some !WON or other. He moved that
the Chairman should report programa
Sir J. ELPHINSTOSE seconded the motion.

Mr. BRIGHT deoontioed the proceedings as a trick,
and an insult to the house on the part of the government.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the hos.
member for Birmingham bad made use of language which
was not justified, because he said something had been done
insulting tothe house sod bearing the appearanosof trickery.
What was insaltiug to the house an I bore the appearance
of a trick must have proceeded horn some perste. This
mischief or inadvertence, however it occurred, was not an
insult to the house. The hon. member for Birmingham
should not bare used such language unless be was prepared
to iodinate the person who had thus insulted the house by
this trick. His (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) object
was to save the time of the committee, but if bon.
members did not choose to discuss the question that even•
ing, they were entitled. owing to the miscarriage, to report
progress. They would not proceed any further with the
navy estimates, bat these were two supplemental votes
which it was really seceseu7 to proceed with, and he hoped
they would be taken that night, in order that the house
might not be compelled to ad on days when it was not their
present intention to sit.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said it appeared that this diffi-
culty had arisen from en unintentional error on the part of
the hoe member for Halifax. The mistake was is putting
the resolution is the bands of the chairman before he made
Lis statement. (Hear, hear.)

' Mr. BRIG HT .aid that he bad not the right bee. pude.
man (the Chaco&llor of the Exchequer) a his eye when he
made the observation. complained of. He was sure the
neat bon. gentleman was not capable of doing any such
thing, but if any one else was,, he hoped the right bon.
gentleman regretted it. (Laughter.)
Lord C. PAGET said that the hon. member for Birming-
ham exculpated the Chancellor of the Exchequer from his
charge, but he must inculpate either him (Lord C. Pout)
or the hon. member for Halifax. All he could my was that
he was perfectly certain his boa. Mud had no intention
wh►tever to deceive or mislead the house, but be got up
with a view to make a statement, and when he found that
the vote had been put and decided he sat down. (Laughter.)
Sir F. SMITH complained of the wane taken, as it had
been his intention to bring forward the cue of the joiners.
He hoped the government would give an opportunity ou •
futureoccasion fora fair discussith on that subject.
Mr. FERRAN!) rose amidst loud cries of " Order.•
The CHAIRMAN intimated that there was no quastion
before the committee.
The subject then dropped.

Mr. I'EEL moved • suppleaseetary vote of 175,6504 for
the redemption of the Scheldt Toll. explaioing the nature
and edect of the arrangements for the extinction of the toll.
The vote. after dizzussion. was agreed to.
The %tennis of HARTINGTON moved a supplerneetal
vote of 409,000/. for army services, explaioing the items to
which it was applicable.
This vote was likewise agreed to after a short discussion.
la a amornitte• of ways and means.
Mr. PEEL moved that the mums of 584,6501. sad of
4.500,000'. be granted to her Majesty out of the Coasoli-
datri Food.

The notice way agresd to.
MUTINY BILL.

In committee on this bill,
Mr. COX moved to omit clause 22—asinely, that relating
to dogging, which he said was a most brutal and demoralis-
ing punishment. Ha should like to ask those boo. members
who asserted that it was necessary for the maintenance
of discipline if they thought the discipline of the
English army and navy warn superior to that of the French
and Austrian, in which such a punishment was unknown.
In the year 1.4;2 nearly 3.1,u60 limbos were inflicted in the
navy, and 5,91.:t in the army. He should like to know how
the services came to be in so disgraceful a state of insubordi-
nation sa to require that. The lash was reeorted to for the
most trivial faults.

That a to the captain buts choleric word
Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy."
(Hear, bear.) He found that a man had received forty
lashes for bed language. If the oast of bed language was to
be thus punished io every one, he should like to know how
many bon. members of that house would escape their
tarty lashes. (Loud laughter.) He protested against
the idea of punishing at the triangle • soldier
guilty of theft, when • civilian would only be
awarded a sight imprisonment for the mete armee.,
We talked of our Christianity, and supported the Northern
States of America because they were supposed to be putting
down the practice of whipping slaves. (Hear, heard We
~ raised our voice asiest Russia because she used the knout,
and vet we tolerated this disgrace to oar own country and to
our code of civilisation. (Hear. hear.) He felt certain,
however, that public opinion would not much longer allow a
practice so shameful and so disgusting to continue in force.
Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion, perfectly agreeing
with the hon. gentleman in thinking it a national disgrace
to allow so degrading a punishment to be iallieted upon
men whom we regarded as the pride and glary of ourcoontry.
Colonel NORTH said nothing was so may as to pun •
little porulsrity by making speeches against the infliction
of fiog4iog, but he sLoald be much obliged if the bon.
member for Finsbury would point out what punishment
equally etti,ient could be substituted for it, The boo.
member had referred to the French army, but the French
' army shot where we only dogged. Flogging was never in-
' dieted except by the sentence of a court-martial, and he
could assure the house that it was only in extreme eases that
corporal punishment was resorted to.

Mr. A YRToN said the same argument as that which was
urged by the gallant colonel opposite was put forward when
soldiers were sentenced, not to 30 lashes, but toes many as
300. He did sot believe that the discipline of the army had
suffered from the mitigation of the punishment which had
taken plum in recent years, and be was of opinion that it
would not suffer if dogging were abolished altogether. He
reminded the house that in the native army of ladle dogging
had been abolished, and that no injurious effects had
resulted. Corporal punishment, however, was still inflicted
in the regular army in India, and the effect was most disas-
trous to the relations between the native soldiers and the
regular troops. For his own part he should be glad to see
the punishment of the lash done away with altogether, and
the British soldier relieved from the degradation under which
he at present suffered.
Mr. WHITE supported the motion of the hon. member
for Finsbury. He gathered from the remarks of the gallant
colonel opposite that every officer in the army weed opinion
that by the lash, and the lash alone, the good discipline of
the army could he maintained.
Colonel NORTH—Nothing of the sort.
Mr. WHITE said the punishment was disgraceful, and
an outrage upon c munon decency.
The Marquis of H AUTINGTON said it was incorrect to
say that the army was governed by the lash. It was not
the opinion of British officers that the lash wee the only
instrument by which the army could be governed, but un-
fortunately the array was not recruited from the highest
or most respectable classes, but on the contrary, itcootaised
within it many men who were so degraded that they
were almost iusensible to any other description of
punishment. The subject was one which had often
been discussed in that house, sad in the debate of
1860 Mr. Sidney Herbert, • man who had !away'
evinced the greatest desire to improve the condition of the
soldier, emphatically declared that it was arenweary for the
disriplioe of the army that the lash should be retained.
Until a soldier proved himself to be a man of thoroughly
bad character he was not liable to be punished by the lash,
except for aggravated offences and mutisous imaduct. By
reference to published returns, he found that of late year,
the infliction of corporal punishment had been greatly on
the decrease. In 187.8,218 men were floued io the army
and 13 in the militia ; in 1860, 179 only were dogpd ; is
1861. 168 ; and in 1862, 130. Them returns showed that
the officers were not inclined to dog if they could help it.
With regard to the continental armies he believed the
punishment they adopted was much mon severe than in the
army of her Majesty ; and as to the army of America he
should be much surprised if the 11011114 of Commons would
be satisfied with the lax form of discipline enforced
there. He did not think it could be fairly maid that the
liability of the British soldier to be dogged was degrading to
him. Hon. members must recollect that by the legislation
of the last few years civilians also were liable to receive
pool punishment. It would, however, be paying the army
a bed compliment to compare them with garotters adTa-
tiana of that character.

After farther discussion, the committee divided—
For the clause
Agaiust it
The aenouncement of the numbers was received with
cheers and laughter.
The clause was agreed to, re wore clauses 24 sod 25.
On clause 2ri, relating to branding on the breset for clasee-
time end other crime..
Mr. COX said if no good mown could be fottod for in.
tehtieg the clause which allowed !toning, @till leas mold
be said for retaining tub clams. He was utterly at •
loss to understand why they should bread nose. (Hear,
hear.) if men were so Wes not to be (it for the army why
not at once dismiss them, and give them an opportunity of
retrieving their characters! His attention we. some time
ago called to the use of a nun who had been in the army,
sad guilty of all sorts of crimes. He had been dogged, and
at last be mos within the operatio• of this claws. and wee
breaded with she letter " D" and the letters " B. C." gees

yearn afterwards the man became at honest, worthy, herd-
worlds/, sod esepeetable labourer in the docks, and, having
obtained teetimonia!s, be applied foraiituation in the police
force; his applicatioe waa, however, refused, because of
these marks co his bread, and be was seat beck to labour it
the docks. The hon. member comdaded by moving the
°minima of the clause. . . .

Colonel NOBTH said that the object of the brandies was
to provost deserters from re-enlisting, and thus defrauding
the country of summons bouutiee.
Mr. LOCKE thought it lived that the army and navy
should be subjected to puoishiriente which in civil life were
only allotted to garotters. He thought it strange that
oaken should wish to retain such punishments • but
whatever might be said ie defence of longing, branding
was entirely without excuse or palliation. It was in short •
system of torture for which the only excuse alleged
was the identieration of deserters who should attempt
re-enlist. Bat if they wanted identification why sot p
graph them, the MEN as was done in the garde! (Laughter.)
He (Mr. Locke) bad voted against Mr. Adderley'm bill, and
should certainly also vow against branding in the army.
After an observation from Colonel NoeTH,
Sir M. PETO believed that kindness in the army would
be as potent es it wee amongst working mac, from whose
ranks the army was recruited. As to the branding, it was
opposed to the principles of • Christian legislature, which
would leave no man without room for repeetance.
Mr. HEADLAM would have gladly voted for
the last motion, bat the present was an entirely
different question. E. must say that a great deal
of zeal and humanity had been wasted by Lou.
members, the fact being that branding inflicted no
pain whatever. In fact he recollected when a boy at school
seeing the practise often resorted to for amusement. This
branding was of recent introduction in the army, and was
intended to most the case of men who having been dis-
missed for bed character afterwards mediated. The pro.
case did not interfere with their repentance, but it did
interfere with their getting into • fresh regiment sod ob.
taming fresh bounty. As to the expedient of the photo-
graph it was ridiculous. as how was a recruiting sergeant to
be furnished with the photographic portraits of all the men
whom be was not to re-enlist ! ( Hear. hear.)

Mr. BRIGHT believed that, practically, this punishment
was little required in the army, and that the adherence
to it was me mach espentition as anything else. Hon.
members said it was not a puniahanat because it did not
indict torture, but it might be a great mental punishment ;
and the chance of saving • few misapplied bounties was
so sufficient 111080C1 for adheriog to it. It was • punishment
which ought not to be heard of in • civilized country, and
besides the British army, was nowhere practised except in
the Slave Slates of America, where slaves were branded to
identify thus for their owners.
Colonel B. KNOX advocated the practise u being so-
meway to prevent frsudulent re-enlistment.
Captain JERVIS said that those clauses were prepared,
not by military officers, but by civilians, and that all the
former had to do with them was to see them executed.
The distinction between home and foreign service wee sever
takes into ooesideeation by boo. members opposite. If an
officer on foreign service had a ruffles under his command,
be must, for the protection of the respectable men
of his regiment, either flog or shoot him.
In the Life Guards they never flogged, became the officers
had the power of discharging an ill-conducted man and re-
placing him by a well.behaved man. (Hear.) If that house
undertook to go to the ermine of replacing • man in the
other department, of the service the officers would bail it
*nth the greatest entliusium. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. NEATE said that the speech of the right hon.
gentleman, the JodireAdvocate, was repugnant to his
feelings. saw no reason why this peculiarly barbarous
punialimeat should be kept up in the army.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
wee a feet that deserved some consideration sod reflection

that the extension of the infliction of branding wen
due to a man who was one of the most kind
hearted sod humane, and who was distingaished in their
time as of all civilians the man aho devoted himself with
the most entire aboegation to promote the welfare of the
soldier. (Hear, bear.) Another reflection he embed
to mats was that be did not think it would be altogether
satisfactory if they introduced an important change in the
discipline of the army at a time whim many members were
absent who would have been present if they had thought this
subject was likely to corns under their consideration so
early. (Hear, bear.) With regard to branding itself there
was something so painful io the whole of thus nal
punishments—though they were not oonaidered so •
ful last year —that they required in a certain de-
gree to put a check upon their feelings, and to
endeavour as it were to steel themselves by
considerations of rigid prudentce in order to resist the first
impales of the mind. Was it true that this punishment
was a cruel one in the ordinary seine of cruelty! A dd-
(Greet set of considerations applied to this matter from what
applied to the ease of flogging. It was not liable to the
same objectioes. There was none of the painful exhibition
of punishment before eomnsdes—there was now of that
souse of shame which often led to hardened sentiments in
the cue of public exhibitions of the infliction of corporal
punishment. The hoc. member for Birmingham said it
was the introduction into this conutry of the practice in
the Southern State. of America. But it was not the same
thing to brand persons on parts of the body which were
not visible, and which would only be seen by the corn.
mending officer or the surgeon, as it was to brand persons
on those pun of the body which were visible to all the
world. (ISear, bear.) He hoped the hoc. member would
not divide the 'house in the absence of many members who
would have been present if they had known the discussion
would mans on so early. (Hear. )
Mr. W. E WART said that branding stamped a man for
life whatever position be might look for, sod the hon. mem-
ber for Finsbury had 'bowls that the brand would prevent
a man from being admitted into the police. (Hear, hear.)
Why not nee photography instead of branding, as was done
with regard to the ticket-of.leave men. lo former times it
was thought necessary to brand civilian., but they had to
give up the practice. Notwithstanding his respect for the
high character of the tote Lord Herbert, he Mr. Ewart 4
would vote against the system of branding. (Hear.)
The committee theta divided—

Kensington Exteosioc Bill closed with the opposition of the
London and North Western, sod the committee took into
consideration the case of the North and South Western
Junction, which was opened by Mr. Burke, Q.C., and (wi-
dows taken. The committee on the Chi/sheerer and Mid-

ICmvintsrry Boar RACE—Considerable <limp:
pointrnent win experienced yesterday at Hamm where the
Oxford crew had arrived late on the previous night;and taken
up their quarters at Mr. Kirby's, the White Lion Hotel, in
consequence of their not rowing over the course between
3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, agreeably with an an-
nonocemeet to that effect, which had dews a number of
university gentlemen and others to Putney t. view their
rowing. The disappointment was coomioned by the non-
arrival of their boat at midday, aa had been expected ; and
as evening approached many of those who had mumbled
repaired to their homes without being gratified with the
expected row, but shortly before dusk, and only hve
minutes previously to the time their dinner was to have been
ups the table, the van bearing the boat, which had
