IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—}LONDAY, FEB. 18.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
5 o'clock.

Lori STRATFORD de BRDCLIFFE gave notice that on
Monday next he would move for certain correspondence
connected with late events in Syria.

THE INDIAN ARMY.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, in asking to know what
manures had been taken for the purpose of carryWg into
effect the proviso in the act of the last session, cap. 100, in
favour of the soae of persona who had served in India, said
that in 1818 the government of India had been transferred
to the Secretary of State in CounciL During the govern-
ment of the East India Company, about one-third of the
cadetships in the Indian army hed been given to the sons of
person who had served in the civil einviceof India, or in the
army, with the exception of the engineers and artillery corps.
When the change of government took place provision was
made in the act of parliament that one-tenth of the cadet-
ships 'hold be given to the sons of persons who had served
in the military or civil parries of India. But last year an
set was pied which rendered it impossible to have 7r keel
European army in India, and a proviso was introduced into
that a:t that the same or an equal provision should be made
for the eons of persons who had served in India. Now,
there being only one army in India, it was of course im-
possible to make the same provision for such persona. sad
whatw equal provision could be made for them he did nut
'wo.
' FAA DB =BY said that it was the Intention of the
government to carry out the act of parliament, not only to
the letter, but in spirit, but as the arrangements for that
purpose
.were not finally determined upon, he we' not at
present in a condition to do more than to assure the noble
earl that when such arrangements were made known, as
they would be before long, they would secure to the pey.
sone to whom the noble earl alluded the advantages con-
templated by the set of parliament.
CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE AMENDMENT BILL. _

THE METROPOLITAN BOARD AND ST. GEORGE'S,
HANOVER-SQUARE.

- -
Viscount TORRINGTON-moved for a return showing
the sources and amounts of receipts and payments in the
account current of the Metropolitan Board of Works with
the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, from the lit of
January, 1856, to the 25th March, 1857, wherein it is
shown on the last-mentioned date that the parish was in
debt to the Metropolitan Board on a bassos of 4,417 f.
la. 2d. • and detailing in the return how that balance could
have biers arrived at without the sum of LOW. :is. 4d.
Witt formed one of the payments as spinet the receipts
in such account.
Earl GRANVILLE mid he had received a letter on the
subject from the chairman of the Metropolitan Board of
Works asserting the accuracy of the accounts, and object-
ing to their being reopened for past years. Still he bad no
objection to the return Wog made,
Lord MONTEAGLE considered that the board adminis-
tered large funds with very insufficient responsibility: The
house bad a right to call for those returns in the
same way as they did from counties awl boroughs. With
the high opinion which be entertained of Mr. Leslie, of St.
George's, he was disposed to accede to the inquiry. One of
the first acts of the new communion had been to enter into

arrangements for the purchase of Boric.!epitome, at a great
e: nee, out of moneys raised by public taxation.
The Earl of ST. GERMANS said the matter bad been
fully inquired into by the vestry id St. George's, and also
by a committee of the Ideti Ipo ten Board ; and they were
unanimously of opinion that Mr. Leslie's charges had not
been established. He saw no objection to the board being
called upon for the accounts.
The return was ordered.

pecting the partite who were or ought to be entitled to sue
