In reply to Sir A. Agnew

General Peel said, that no recent order had been issued,
ordering the troops at Malta to present arms to the

had been no complaint, were still acted upon.

In reply to. Colonel North,

ply to Lord Punkellin

Pakington said, that a commission had been
appointed to examine into the capabilities of Gakray
Harbour ; that commission had made a report
which ere long wmild be laid upon the
table. He would say that report would be
greatly in favour of the capabilities of Galway, both as a
harbour of refuge, and for the public service. In refe-
rence to this last, communications had been made to the
Postmaster-General, but no definite answer had been
received.

The report of the Address having been brought up,
Mr. Hadfield said, that the question of India interested
our manufacturers at home, as able to furnish ample
supplies of raw cotton. The capabilities of the country
had been previously neglected, a neglect which he hoped
would in future be repaired.

Lord Stanley said, that the best"means of encouraging
the growth of cotton in India would be to facilitate the
means of transport. Notwithstanding the difficulties of
Indian finance, it was not intended to diminish the
Governmental expenditure on public works. An expen-
diture of two millions had been for many years
expended. on public works. 3,000 miles of railway
was in course of construction, and 500 miles were
actually opened, which he believed would be a
source of profit and of incalculable advantage to both
England 'and India. There was no part of Indian
business to which he attached so much importance, as
that of pressing forward public works.
Mr. Bright said, that it was not enough to create
facilities of transport ; a better tenure of land, especially
in the South, was • necessary to successful cultivation.
Very impolitic steps had been taken in this matter by the
Governments both of Madras and thnibas, which had
caused an investigation.of a cruel and injurious character
into the title of estates, and had there caused much
mischief. He trusted that the new government of Madras
would rectify the evil. The whole question ought to be
examined by a commission, and that the result would be
to give the people of India a fair chance.
Colonel Sykes observed that the people of India could
not be compelled to cultivate cotton if they preferred to
cultivate the culture of sugar and indigo.

Sir J. Elphinstone was sure that- cotton could be
grown at a profit in India.
Mr. Joseph Ewart recommended improved irrigation.

The address was then agreed to. -
On the motion of Mr. "Walpole, the House resolved
itself into committee, for the purpose of considering the
occasional forms of prayer for the 30th of January and

other days.
Mr. Walpole, after referring to the addresses of last
year, moved for leave to bring in a bill for the purpose
of discontinuing- those services
Leave was given accordingly, and the bill read a
first time.

The House then adjourned at six o'clock

at present to name a day for
laying their bill upon the table, ask if it is because the
end Is not far off? The 'Herald, on the other side, shows
that Whig cabinets had promised reform, and had never
kept their pledges ; but, when out of office, it is always a
question that will not admit of the least possible delay.

nothing that housewives complain of with greater truth-
fulness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of

cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot
be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an
