Colonel DUNN E asked the Secretary of State for War
whether there were any troops ht Chinanot jecleded in the
numbers in the estimate or estimated for, and whether if
there wore any troops in China, those troops received the
Indian pay and allowances ; also whether they ware
paid out of the Treasury Ghat, or it not, from what fund I
Sir H. VERNEY, referring to the report of the oommir
donors on the state of the army, in which military insti-
tutes and barrocks were recommended, quoted the
opinion that the meow of such institutions must
dependence the mode in which they were monied ; any
apathy on the part of the officers would be fatal.
Mr. SCLATER-BOOTH had been in communication with
many of the inhabitants of Akienhott, and so farm his infor-
mation went he doubted whetherCaptainJackson's propceols
would afford an efficient remedy for the evil complained of.
Sir G. 0. LEWIS understood the hon. and giant officer
(Colonel Dunne) to refer in his question to the estimate of
the present year beginning on lot of April last. The latest
returns which had been received from China were dated
lit of January, 1862. At that date there were 1,860 of all
ranks of native troops, and that number was not included
in the current year inasmuch sa it was expected that that
faros would return 'to India. It was not, however, possible
at present to make the change, and a body of native troops
would still remain in China. With regard to Captain Jack-
son's report he could only say it had received careful omit-
deration, and a vote had been proposed in the army esti-
mates by which it would be po for the War-office to
carry out its recommendation. The iron home to which
referent* had been made belonged to the We/pollee, and no
doubt it was acquired with the intention of converting it
into a soldiers' home ; but since the vote passed it had beep
represented that its situation was inconvenient and ill suited
for its purpose, and it was in so conspicuous a part of the
; camp that the men would probably be deterred from going
there. That was the explanation of the pause in making
' I the final arrangement, but he was nevertheless inclined to
carry into effect the recommendation.
FORTIFICATIONS AT PLYMOUTH.

Mr. BEN TIN CK wished for explanationswith reference to
the new fort ordered to be constructed in Plymouth Sound,
and
addremed his questions to the Secretary to the Ad-
malty as well as to the Secretary for War, because ap-
pearedto him that the objections to the oonstniction of
the fort were of both a military and naval character, and
be had received information from good authority at Ply-
mouth, that at present an operation was going on there
which appeared to him totally unaccountable.
Sir G. C. LEWIS believed the original plan was that the
fort alluded to should be erected upon the breakwater, but
upon reconsideration it was thought more advisable that it
should be erected in the sea, near the breakwater. The
foundation would not be composed of stoma thrown down
in the same way as the breakwater, but would be a nearly
perpendicular wall. He was sorry that the hon. gentleman
bad not brought forward this question during the debate
upon the Spithead forts, there being a close affinity between
the two questions.
Mr. BENTINCK—At that time I had never heard of
the proposed fort,
Sir G. C. LEWIS was sorry thehon. gentleman's inquiries
bad been so recent, but it would have been more convenient
if the house had had both questions brought under its notice
at the same time. He would, however, make this offer to
the hon. gentleman, he had no objection to refer it to the
Defence Commanon which had now the subject of the
Spithead forts for its consideration, to inquire and report
upon the policy of promeding with this insulated fort in
Plymouth Sound. He wouki not undertake to stop the
works, but would undertake to make the reference imme-
diately, and he had no doubt the report would be ready in •
limited time.
Mr. BENTINCK repeated his question to the noble lord
the Secretary to the Admiralty.
Lord C. PAGET replied that the Defence Commiesk
. . _

WSJ Composed 44;tficisrsol both awrices, and was com-
petent, t orators, to express an opinion upon the naval at
well as the military part of the question.
DISTRE2B IN IRELAND.
Mr. MAGUIRE rose to call attention to the fact that
deaths from starvation hays occurred recently in Ireland.
He said that recent information which bad come to him
confirmed every fact to which he had before drawn the
attention of the house, arid he believed the extent of the
distress was only limited by the boundaries of Ireland, and
that it would be increasing every day for the Deat three or
four months. It was work, and not alms, which the
people wanted ; but the government, instead of extend-
ing the relief which they indirectly gave to them.
had curtailed it. The loans granted by the Board of Works
for the improvement of estates had been reduced in amount
from 10,0004 to 5,0001., and consequently. the means of
landlords to give employment had been diminished just at
the very time it was moat wanted. He did not
mean to represent the state of Ireland to be am
bad now an it was during the famine, because
the populatioa was diminished, but no one could doubt
that thus existed great distress, which the poor-law,
as at present administered, did not reach. The official' who
boasted of the prosperity of the country bad never been
beyond the city of Dublin, and even the chief Poor-law Corn-
mimioner had never been in a single workhouse in Ireland.
If the right boo, gentleman the Secretary for Ireland relied
oo fallacious datementa, written oold-bloodedly in an office,
he roust of necessity go wrong, and the people would suffer
in consequence of his ignorance.
Mr. P. DAWSON thought that system and that of rates
in aid was unjust. The attempt made on a former occasion
to give employment on public works proved a lamentable
failure, and he hoped it would not be repeated. He deeply
sympathised with the unfortunate condition in
which the labouring population of Lancashire
had been placed, and be claimed the same sympathy for the
people of Ireland. He did not think it would be the duty
of the government to maintain the people of either country
at the public ex pease. In his opinion if the measures
which had been introduced under the authority of the Chief
Secretary should meet with the approbation of the home
sad be passed into law, they would go fez to alleviate the
distress which existed, and the effect of them would be of
far more advantage to the people of Ireland than any amount
of sympathy which might be expressed on their behalf.
Colonel DICKSON said the speech of his hon. friend bad
filled him with astonishment. If this bad been an
attack on the government he could have understood
his honourable friend's observations, but he believed the
honourable member for Dung:man had brought forward
this motion with • view of proving that the statement
made by him on • former occasion was correct, namely,
that a great amount of distress did exist in Ireland.
Mr. BLAKE said be would repeat the statistics which he
had laid before the house nu a former occasion wheu this
painful subject was under its consideration. The hon. mem-
ber then read a statement, the effect of which was to show
that while there had been an increase in the quantity of
sheep and cattle between the years 1847 and 1860, there had
hens great decrease as regarded the production of grain
and potatoes, and he had no hesitation in saying that in no
period of her history—at least in their time—had Ireland
required the interference of the government more impera-
tively than at present, if they wished to save the remnant
of the people from starvation and death. (Hear, bear.)
Sir R. PEEL, observing that this subject was one which
appealed to our best feelings of humanity and charity, said
he bad felt considerably relieved at the -.inclusion of Mr.
Maguire's speech, having been given to understand that the
boo, member, from sources of information from which he
(Sir It. Peel) was debarred, would make out a strong
case against the government; but be should be
able to place the zeal and active supervision of
the Irish government, which sympathised with the
distress of the people, in • favourable point.. of
view. He proceeded to examine some of the cases referred
to by Mr. Maguire' reading the sworn evidence of credible
which led to the conclusion, in his opinion, that
persons
Maguire must have been deceived. After referring to
written statements to show the exaggerations upon this
'object, be read a letter he bad received that morning from
Mr. Gi'unmissiouer Power to the same effect, anal main-
tained that, though there was considerable suffering and
distress in some parts of Ireland, there was no pistil:U*6oo
for the allegation of deaths by starvation having occurred
in consequence of any neglect or disregard on the
part of the government. The distress was not so widely
spread as seine imagined, and it was gradually diminishing,
while the sanitary condition of the people was satisfactory.
He animadverted in severe terms upon the attempts made
to calumniate the administration of the poor-law in
Ireland, which, he observed, bad caused the sacrifice of
many lives of persons who bad been thereby deterred from
entering the workhouses, sued he complained of the diffi-
culties cast in the way of poor-law relief by unfounded
accusations, uttered by persons high in ecclesiastical autho-
rity among the Roman catholics of Ireland.
Major O'REILLY replied to Kir R. Peel, disdaining, how-
ever, to answer the attack made by him upon the Roman
catholic prelates of Ireland. The house had heard much,
he mid, of the exertions of the government to avert Irish
distress, but they had not been told what had been dope by
them. On the contrary, their denial of the existence of
unusual distress had checked private benevolence.
After a few observations by Mr. Mlilanorr,
Mr. GREGORY observed that, though distress in Ireland
was local, speaking of the county of Galway, he was bound
to say, from personal keen/ledge, that there was a very
great amount of destitution and distress, especially among
the small farmers, which might be counteracted by • very
slight measure on the part of the government, not of gra-
tuitous relief, but of employment.
The discuasioo of this subject was continued for some
time by Mr. Brady, Sir G. Bowyer,Mr. Hennessy, and Mr. H.
Bruce.
Sir G. GREY said the hog. gentleman opposite must
now be satisfied that there was no absolute unanimity even
amongst Irish members as to the extent of the distress in
that country. No doubt there were parte of Ireland where
deep distress prevailed ; and them were also portions of the
West of to which the fame remark applied, the
cause being in both instances the unfavourable season.
There was likewise great distress in Lancashire and other
parts of England ; but the question forth' house was whether
that dieters was in soy ease so severe and so urgeat as to
demand any extraordinary measures to be taken by parlim
west for its relief, or whether it might not safely be left to
a Mena and judicious application of the poor law and to
local reeosraset As to the public works, that plan of afford-
lag relief bed bees eseeeted to in the years 1847.9 tat

Mr. WHALLEY said he was in Ireland inlBl7 and 1848,
and saw the way in which the grants made at that time
were used, and he afterwards in the house urged that those
grants should Lot be repaid, in consequenCe of the improper
mode in which they were expended. He thought that the
suggestion of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Monsell) ought
to receive favourable consideration. Another practicable
remedy for the distress was lending money to landholders
for improvements.
After a few words of explanation from Mr. liaommt,
the subject dropped.
RETIRING ALLOWANCES TO BARRACK-MASTERS.
Colonel FRENCH then nee to call attention to the sub-
led of retiring allowances grankulll to barrack-masters.
It was a matter of uncertainty whether barrack-masters
were military men or civilians. At the Treasury be was
told they were military men, and he was referred to (the
Ilona Guards for any complaint he might have to make
respecting them, but at the Horse Guards he was told they
were ciami, Oneof these barrack-masters who had seen
much military service was awarded a pension of 3a. 'lid.
• day.
Mr. PEEL mid when barrack-masters had completed ten
years of service they were entitled to His. ed. per day.
When the hon. and gallant gentleman referred to the Super-'
annuation Act he should remember that the Treasury
could not use their power under the act in particular
MM. The War-ofiloe had framed rules which were rather
in favour of the barrack officers than the public ser-
vice, and it was most important that the Treasury should
adhere to the rules as closely as possible` these owl
the government looked to the office to be filled rather than
to the amount of services which the officers had performed.
THE EXPEDITIONS AGAINST TILE TAEPING&
Colonel SYKES asked the Under-Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether, as the militia/it:fence of the
Tartar city of Shanshae had been ordered her Majaatt
government, and joint expeditions of Prone English, and
Tartan appeared to have recently taken place spinet the
Taiping*, provision had been made to prevent the Tartar
Civil Governor (Toutai) of Shanghae from executing pri-
eozere taken in conflict with the Teepings.
After slew words from Mr. Glißoaoll,
Sir F. BARING suggested that the papers relative to the
annexation of Lagos should be laid on the table.
Mr. LAY &RD would sot at that hour go into • discus-
aim of the policy of her Majesty's government in reference
to China, but would merely observe that his hon. and gallant
friend's information was not strictly correct, a subsequent
impression of the Chinese paper which bad published it
having contradicted the statement, and expressed regret at
having made it. The parties executed were not Taiping,
taken in battle, but pirates and robbers. The hon. and
gallant member might rest immured that while the English
and French were engaged no nnneoeseary cruelty would
be exercised, and orders had been mot out to that effect.
Mr. WHITE believed that the course taken by the
government was a certain way of producing, sooner or later,
another China war. All the information received showed
that the Taepiags respected the British power, and avoided
as far as possible interfering with British trade. He de-
precated the mita with France in Chinese affairs on the
ground that while our objects were purely commercial,
those of France were the propagation of the Roman catholic
religion. He recommended that Shanghae should at least
temporarily be declared a free port, and not that we should
assist in collecting revenue there for the benefit of either
the Tartar government or the Taepiog rebels. He intimated
anintention of bringing on the subject of our policy in China
on an early day.
The house then went into committee of supply p forma,
and the chairman was immediately ordered
to report
program.
MERCHANT SHIPPINGBILL. ACTS, lea, AMENDMENT
On the mot ion fee going Into committee on this bill,
Mr. LOCKE moved the adjournment of the debate.
Mr. M. GIBSON expressed a hope that the motion would
not be pressed, and that the Speaker would be allowed to
leave the chair. It was not his intention to do more that
move that the chalrmsn report progress.
After a few words from Mr. ATIITON the motion for the
adjournment of the debate was carried without a division.
THE BURIAL BILL.
Sir IL PETO moved the second reading of the Burial Bill.
Sir G. GREY said that the bill had been considerably
modified, sad several of the objectionable clauses in that
introduced last year removed. He did not, therefore, ob-
ject to the second reading, on the understanding, however,
that the provisions of the bill should be fully considered in
select committee.
Sir W. HE&THOOTE concurred in the suggestion of the
right hon. baronet, that the bill should be referred to •
select committee.
Mr. COLLINS hoped that sufficient notice would be
given of the names of the members who were to form the
committee on the bill.
After a few words from Mr. S. EfrICOUBT the bill was
reed • second time.

On the motion of Sir S. NORTHCOTI. this bill was read a
second time and ordered to be ref erred to • select committee.

On the motion of Sir W. liaarncovre leave was given to
bring in • bill to extend the power of making statutes, and
to make farther provision for the administration of justice

The bill was read a first time.
The house adjourned at twenty minutes to one.

The plaintiffs in this case held a ferry from the Isle of
Dogs to Greenwich, and they claimed to recover damages
for an infringement of their right ; the alleged inf ringement
being the carrying passengers from Cubitt-town, in the Isle
of Dogs, across the water to the opposite shore. Then bad
been a great deal of litigation upon the matter, which had
been several times before the court in one form and anoesbac.
Upon the present occasion the fasts were stated in a Rosie/

Mr. Serjeent Pigott and Mr. J. J. Powell appeared for
the pleintiffs ; and Mr. Lush for the defendants..
The Lord Chief Justice, at the conclusion of the day,
mid it was necessary that the further hearing should he
adjourned, but according to the view which the court at
present entertained it was very desirable that an arrange.
meat should if possible be come to.

COTTON 000D13.—Moocrisorgo, MAT 2.—The rare

little has been dove to-day beyond hazarding speculative
opinions m to the probability ci an intervention in American
affairs. Bach a nouns, it is said, the English government &
too wise to contemplate, whilst it is one which the French
would not dare to attempt single-handed; the retort,
therefore, is not seriously credited, but it has been
spent to reate great manners and stop business. Neither
nn nor Dor manufacturerss are willing to make the
careeesionie prices, men to effect sales, but i
tch vig
be see, in how sensitive a state our market is, at pt
high prices, when reports resting on so slight a foundation
as the present Am eau so seriously derange it- Even body
treats the matter as one that will speedily " blow over;"
but sellers of cloth report that there has been little or so
inquiry, much lees any actual business, and that
the market has bun unusually at throughout the
day. Shirt:lap continue very firm, owing to the better
advice lately to hood from Indira and T.cloths and
domestics are firmer through reduced production. Loft
cloths Si, reported to be low in stock, but the demand of

the market is Down good supply, and though a large quan-
tity of these goods are of excellent quality, it is said that
some of the cloth from the low anon' are °fa very inferior

COURT OF EXCHEQUER—DAY 2.
kgs in Banco in Faster Tenn.--(Before the Lard Chief
Berra end Barons Bramwell end Martin.)
MAYALL •. HMV. - .

This action via beinght by Mr. Mayall, the photographer,
for the improper detention of certain photographic portraits
of eminent men, which the plaintiff had lent to Mr. Tillie,
the publisher of the Illustrated News of the World, with a
view to migravinp from them being issued with that jeer-
ml. Mr. Talks became a bankrupt, and the defendant pur-
chased the photographs from his assignees, and sold reduced
copies of them for -considerable sums. At the trial which
took place before the Lord Chief Baron at Cuildhaß, the
jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, but a rule was
subsequently obtained to enter a vindict for the defendant.
Mr. Vautghan Williams, in the absence of Mr. Lush, now
appeared on the part of the plaintiff, to show muse against
the rule.
The Lord Chief Baron said that when the court granted
the rale there was ea impression that the ease involved the
question of copyright in photographs, but it now appeared
to him that it did sot touch that question. It was really
an action for using a man's property without his consent
and to his disadvantage, which the defendant had no right
to do.
Mr. V. Williams admitted that the case wee wholly
independent of ;any point as to copyright, but
said that if it were not, it would come within
the decision of Lord Cottenharn in the awe
of " Prince Albert v. Strange," in which etchisp
by her Majesty end the late lamented Prince Consort, sent
to be printed far private use, were, by some breech of treat
or of confidence, copied sod advertised to he sold. His
lordship went through all the authorities upon the' ak
and held that no pesos had a right to melte copses of
drawings without the ootuient of the proprietor, even tboegh
he had no knowledge of the manlier in which they mane
into the possession of the party from whom be got them ;
and he granted an injunction restraining their publication.
The Lord Chief Baron said they were all of opinion that.
the role should be discharged, and it would be better, in the
first instance, to call upon the counsel on the other side.
Mr. M. Smith (with whom was Mr. Aspinall) said he did
not hear the announcement with any particular pleasure.
(Laughter.) He was then heard is support of the rule, and
an the conclusion of his arguments the court rose.

THE POLICE COURTS.
BOW-STREET.
James Al'Chugh, a dirty, ragged, sickly-looking child, of
about eight years of age, was brought before Mr. Henry,
on a charge of begging.
A. Barnett Rothschild, dealer in articles of vertu, High
Holtorn, stated—The night before last, at about 11 o'cloe.
I was passiog through Lincoln's.ino, when I saw the
prisoner sitting on a dooretep begging. I asked him why
be did not go home? He replied that be dared not, as be
had only got threepence, and bis mother would beat him if
he went home with less than sixpence. A gentleman who
was with me bought • cake and gave it to him, and he ate
it ravenously. I looked out for a policeman, oonaidering
that the matter ought to be inquired into. Of course
it would be no charity to give him mosey, for, if his story
is true, it would only go to the mother. I found • policeman,
but as soon as the prisoner saw him coming he ran away.
Last evening I went round spin, in eider to look out for
him. He was again sitting on a step, begging. I laid hold
of him, and kept him till I saw • policeman. I under-
stand, from gentlemen residing in the seighbourbood. that
the prisoner is frequently seen there till one or two o'clock
in the morning.
The prisoner's mother here came forward and said she did
not send her son out to beg. She was oat at work all day,
and could not tell where he was or what he was doing
during her absence. She denied that she expected him to
bring home any money, or that he was in the habit of
doing so.
The prisoner—l gave you 2d. the night before last.
The mother—Yes, air. He brought me 2d. that night,
and told me • gentleman gave it him. I asked what the
gentleman gave it him for, and he said, " Became I asked
him."
Mr. Henry—Then on that occasion, at least, he brought
borne to you money which you know he had got by begging.
I dare say, if the truth was known, be does so almost every
night. I shall seed him to an industrial school
The mother, who appeared much disconcerted, made no
rerr: Hen —That will be the best thing for him. It way
not be the best for you, as you make • profit by him, and I
see that you do not like it.
Mr. Rothschild—lt will probably save the life of the
child. He is suffering from • fearful cold and cough.
The mother—That is through going about barefoot.
Mr. Rothschild—No such thing. It is from sitting upon
doorsteps on wet nights begging, getting wet through in the
rain, and wandering about in that condition till two in the

WORSHIP-STREET.
Alfred Gray, a powerful young man, was charged before
Mr. Self. with the following barbarous assault :
Mr. John Younger, • cabinetmaker, living in Engle
Wharf-reed, City-road, whose nose was hidden with
plaster, said that on the previous evening, at the Grecian
Saloon, while witnessing the performance. the prisoner
accused him of unnecessarily pushing. This was denied,
upan which defendant, in most gross terms, threatened to
bite his nose off, and actually snapped at it immediately
afterwards, inflicting a very severe wound. The sur-
rounding company were unanimous in their demand that
the fellow should be given into custody, and this wee
accordingly done.
Cross-examined—l swear that I did not lift my hard to
him.
Three witnesses confirmed the complainant's testimony.
and stated that the prisoner had the nom completely in his
mouth, and that it was bitten through.
The defence set up was that there had been a struggle. in
the course of which the injury was inflicted, but unknow-
ingly by the perpetrator.
Ms worship summed his abhorrence of such an infam-
ous and beastly sot, and malmissii the prisoner to pay a fine
of 80a, end 20s. oasts. The mow was forthcoming.
