of 130,0001. per year, which would be no incomideral4
addition to the army estimates. He feared be could hole
out **hope ef her Majesty's goveniment being papered to
accede to such a request. The adjutants who bed the
imperiatendenee of the drill of the volunteers had only
meetly been appointed, and not many of them were yet at
' work. It would therefore be premature to appoiat
ta until the government had an opportunity of
aeoertaintngg how the system worked, and what were its
I remits. (Hoer, heard He hail been informed that the
regulation■ established by the government in referee°, to
the custody of arms were not saintly enforced,
One of the conditions upon which the arms were supplied
by the government was that a rare-hour should be pro-
vided in which they should be kept, and if it wore found
that that rule were not observed, steps must be taken by
the government to enforce it. There was every satiety
on the part of the government to give reasonable
esmurarment to the volunteer force, but it was necessary
that it should remain • volunteer force, and not be allowed
to become a heavy charge open the mutiny. (Heir, hear.)
Lord VIVIAN said the question was, whether the ca
comment would aid the movement or allow it to fall off
from the mat of pecuniary mouuragenient. He be-
lieved the volunteers were perfectly willing to give
their services to the country gratuitously but at
the same time they were of opinion that clothing, seer
ammunition, and drill sergeants should be preload by
the government. Perhaps it would be as well to have two
clams of volunteers—one for large towns, such es Liver-
pool, Birmingham, and Manchester, where it 110841 t
be that the adjutants should s►
mire extra allowance, and another for rural
=a, wham easels serving in that opacity
be rellebureed their expepees auk el casket.
In his own cotulty (Cornwall) the volunteer force, to the
extent of between 2,000 and :1,000 roes, were maintained by
private eubecuiptioaa,- but he thought if them were • amid-
es had been ouggested, the second class to receive
spiwernOiest meletence, the number would he greatly in-
drIMINI end mestered more pemimemit.
The Reel et ELLEN BOROUGH concurred much in the
of the noble harem that they would' nut be
2Literim Main by voluntary subseriptions from year to
year the whole of the volunteer form we now possessed,
still her a larger force. All who had read the report of the
National Defence Commission mast agree in the absolute
neon sty of keeping up this force, inasiusok as
it MU to a considerable extent upon its service
IYM w• most rely for our defences ; still he
led MIMI little difficulty in goiag to the government directly
on the subject. What Lad occurred to him was that it
would be adviaable (end he hoped the session would nut
pass ever without as net to that effect) to give to the mark-
eats, at Tarter seesaw power to levy a rate of not more
than a halfpenny in the pound, which would be sufficient to
meet the contingent expenses of adjutants and other ma.-
&berry, the cost of which it was not a be expand would
be defrayed permanently by voluntary subscriptions. If
that were done be believed they would be able not only to
giro permaaence to the for.. but 'atom( it.
Viscount H R DLS 0 E observed that thosoveral companies
were so widely scattered, and the adjutants had to
travel so far that it would be only just to give them some
sesietiume in the shape of additional allowance. He thought
that the efficiency of each company depended much upon
having a good line sergeant to instruct and drill them.
People were reedy enough with their money in times of ex-
citement, but when the amitement was passed the oontri.
brier fell off ,• therefore, be thought it would be well ,
urge upon the Senetary for War the necessity of granting a
permaneat line 60/4611111 for sack company.
Viscount )lELN ILLE remarked that the sergeants of
the line were not more than sufficient for the Services of
the line regiments, and indeed a commanding !Allow had
somplameil to him of the great inconvenience his regiment
was subjected to in consequence of the withdrawal of the
drill sergeant, for the services of these volunteer corps. He
suggested that it would be better that the government
should encourage the formation of these companies into mi-
litia /schema
Viscommt IiARDINGE bad referred to discharged war-
casete---thcee who had served their full time in the army.
Earl GRANVILLE screed with his noble friend in the
hope that the noble *pint which had been evoked during
the past yea would mot Gagi and if that sp ontinued
which induced persons to jon those corps fo thee
purposes
of national defence, he did not believe that it would fail in
bringing forward subscriptions and money to maintain the
force. But he much doubted the propriety of coining to
puliament every year for a considerable vote of money for
UN support of tide volunteer force • indeed be knew of no
mormatece calculated to uupopulaae the movement than
that should he raised in debate from time to time
id tli skeet. Re thought, therefore, that the govern-
Wet siseaU.oendme Heel( bathos, matters which the Under-
Secretary of State for the War Department bad shadowed
out to the hour.

HINDOO GRIEVANCES._

- -----
Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from the Native As-
sociation at Calcutta, complaining of the Indian Legislative
Council, which they said did not represent the views, the
wishot,or the wants of the peopLit was numerically too:mall
to get through its work, Anil was composed exclusively of
officials. They payed that no court where English law
was administered might remain without a professionally
educated judge or assessor. They pointed oat that notwith-
standing the royal proc amation they could find no entrance
into the civil service, if they wore required to wine to Eng-
land to be educated and pass theirexaminatioo. They com-
plained of the land tenure ; and while approving of lewd
Canning's restoration of the talookdaree system in Onde,
they expressed their belief that much good would be done
by theextansion of a permanent tenure. They concluded
by praying that their earnest petition might not be
lad said' &enrollees or unworthy of attention.
DOCK YARD LABOU KERS.

Sir F. BARING gave notice that on the motion for the
adjournment to morrow he would call attention to 'the case
of the established dockyard labourers, and ask the
Secretary of the Admiralty a questa:a' aas to course which
the government inkuded W pump with regard to the
superannuation of thew) perome.
THE FORTIFICATION VOTE.
_ _

Mr. BRIGHT--Ibisit7oirive;Tit,i;;Msaioadelonday next,
when the house goes into committee oo the resolution which
has been propoeed by the noble lord on the subject of forti-
ficatiosa, I shall more ea an anseadment the following re-
solution :—" That the estimates for military and naval ser-
vices which have been laid before this house daring the pre-
sent swim amount to the sum of 29,700,000 t. which
sum the house has voted, or is prepared subeteittall ia to
vote, and a further sum of 3,n00,000f. has beenon
account of military and naval expenditure in Chins. Thal
having regard to those large sums, this house resolves to
postpone the cuusideration of the report of the Defame Com-
missloners till a future period."
THE PAPER DUTY.

The CHANCELLOR of the big to
give notice with respect to the customs duty on piper, that
her Mafesty's goverunient will nuke the proposal which they
have pla cel upon the books on Rouday week. (Loud cries
of " (Th. oh."
Mr. BRIGHT—May I ask a question of the right hon.
gentleman with regard to the proposed duty on spirits? Is
it his intention to Folk the Louse to enact that duty per
menently, or only for • year! Having reference to recent
transactions, that is an important oonssueration. (Hear.)
The CHANCELLOR wf the EXCHEQUER—The pro-
posal of the government wu for a permanent addition to
the spirit duty. Of course it will be quite competent to any
hon. gentleman who may think fit, to move in committee
that it be only for • year.
Mr. BRIGHT—The right bon. gentleman does not under-
stand my question. Ido not mean that the addition shall
not be • permanent one, that is so long as spirit duties
exist ; but what I want to know is whether in the bill the
tax will be made an annual one so as to come wader the
review of the house next session! (Hear, bur.) I pre-
sume that that is the course which the house will take in
future with regard to new taxes.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The ques-
tion is more extensive them I thought. The bill is without
any limit, and would have the effect of imposing the tax
permanently. (Opposition cheers.)
