At the unties sitting,
Mr. T. CHAMBERS asked whether* there wu any ob-
jostles to lay the tenders for the conveyance of the wane to

Mr. J. WILSON replied that the tenders bad rushed
hiss only just before he ease down to the hose*, and would
be ezatnined by hi. in the muse of the evening. Time
were cbjeetions against laying thus on the table, but the
goverment intended to erupt the lowest la price and the

THE STAFF.
_ _ .

Ca the motion for gr;irginle;;;;enittee of supply,
Captain L. V ILILNON moved a resolution szpreselsg the
opinion of the house that it would be to the advantage of
the public genies to employ pseud officers from the mita
tile corps upon the staff of the army.
Mr. F. PEEL said ts entirely agreed in the principle of
the resolatinn of the hon. and gallant gentleman; and he
believed it would be an advantage to the got ernment to be
able to employ generals of the scientific corps to croamand
sized bodies of troops; but t►e question whether the
'overeaten' should employ particular officers, as in the ease
of the brother of the hon. and gallant member at Porte.

the rank of camel would be perfectly eligible for the staff and
the commands of districts. He could see no obj. calm to the
spirit of the resolution, but he saw no advantage Is its being
adopted by the house; because the goveroment ought to he
left free to decide when it was neceseary to avail themselves
of the advantage of drawing commanding °Mom from the
scientific corr. It would be very Inconvenient to adopt a
resolution which would imply that the g meat should
always employ officers of the scientific corps, either in a
given retie to their own corps, or is a given ratio to the whole
army. There were reasons why hitherto g I officers of
the scientific corps were not selected for commands
so frequently is proportion is officers of the line.
Those general officers wore usually advanced in
years, because the artillery and eaginten being
tent, city COlll, had not the advantage of purchase to
ensure the promo•ioa of younger men, and, besides, their
rtroarotien to the rank of general was not made according
to their standing la the army, bet according to their rep-
mescal rank. For the future, however, 'be oaly questios
would be whet promotions were beet for the servos of the
eouatry, end if any general of artiUery or engineers should
be selected to command a body of seized troop, there
could be no objection, and no jealousy felt as to what arm
of the service he belonged. There hod been hitherto a
jealousy nu that point, for It woe only natural that the Hens
Guard. should not be anxious to employ *Wen who were

as inters t fel for employing one set of officers rather

ARMY AND ORDNANCE ESTIMATES.
Is bringing forward the ordnaoce estimator, Mr. MON-
SELL briedy explained the nature and 'leant of the re-
ductions which had been effected mina lb. conetheios of
peace op sa the 'barges for elottlag, provisions, Jorge, and
other brunches of the departments.
Oa the first vote, as addition to a previous sue of
450,0001. for the civil establiabseests of tbe army,
Mr. MONSELL said be bad to state the reduction which
had been made in the estimate f, r this breach of the on vise.
It bad been origi tally 514,1411, buil bad been reduced by
a mu of 141,0001. ; and it bad been calculated that ma
half of what was left would be sufficient to meet the actual
expenditure. A as of 101,0001. only would he required
for the roninlaeariat and civil establishments on the Boa-
phins and in the Crimea; many of the persona untruth
in that department having returned to this o matey or being
Os Omit way home. It would, however, still be amessery
to have a number of commissariat clerks on the Bosphorus
after lb. troops had come home, in order to snake up tbe
scouts, and be was Peppy to say that he had
reason to believe that tr e whole accounts of the expenditare
of the army in the Crimea meld be examined and audited
before the explestton of the year. The resseinieg amount
of 13.0001. or 14,000!. was for u misted sepses• for lodging
and furnitun allowances, in which itam be believed, there
would he a considerable redueiloa, ea steps had been taken
to get rid of pliers hired for lode's, the *Milo as rapidly as
possibte. Os tbe whole, he would say that the 460,0001.
sated for would he amply sufficient tr defray the expenses
of the p mat year.
Colireel DUNNE asked whether it was latended to keep
up the war ministry as its preeest system, or whether there
was to he a return to the low ozposain system of • &en.
