only of the shilling is to be given to the soldier,
who is to be permitted to allot the remaining
sixpence to his family, if he think proper so to do,
just as the seamen of the Royal Navy are now autho-
rised to do. But supposing that the men do not
wish to fall into this arrangement, which must
necessarily be purely voluntary, although encou-
raged by the country—what then ? Why, as
Lord PURE considers that paying it into the
hands of the soldiers would be injurious to the
discipline of the army, he proposes that it shall
be "in the power of the commanding officer,
under certain circumstances, in case of in-
subordination for instance, to stop it, and
when so stopped that it shall be invested
in the savings bank for the man's benefit
at a future time." There is here a hiatus valde
deftendus. What is to be done with the 6d. when
neither allotted nor stopped ? The soldier is to
get but 6d. under the name of field money. He
may allot the remainder ; but if he does not, it
may be withheld as a punishment. But Lord
PASITURE does not condescend to enlighten us as
to what he will do with it in the event of its not
being stopped. The men are not to get
it ! The savings bank is to be the
penal institution only resorted to in case
of insubordination ! What is the inter-
mediate condition ? On that point we must await
further information. It, however, seems to us,
that the attaching the idea of disgrace and punish-
ment to investments in the Savings' Banks is not
acting fairly to those excellent establishments, or
calculated to advance them in the estimation of
the parties from whom investments are sought. On
these points ,we think Lord PAMIIIRE will see
the necessity of again modifying his proposals—
and we assure him that he will not injure his
character by so doing, for candid confession is
next best to not committing a 7, fault ; and a man
never lowers himself in the opinion of honourable
men by recognising and retrieving a mistake.

The manner in which Mr. ROEBUCK'S question,
and the presentation of petitions by Mr. DUN-
) COMBE respecting the police atrocities in Hyde-
park were met, was quite worthy of the oligarchic
clique into whose hands the government of the
country has fallen, being at once ridiculously ar-
rogant, unprincipled, and shabby.
Mr. ROEBUCK, it will be seen—having stated to
the House the substance of a letter from a person
in Oxford-street, who, it would appear, being
anxious on the preceding Sunday to ascertain the
1 news about the War, had gone into a news-shop in
that street which was entered by an inspector of
police and policemen, one of whom, on some
words ensuing, had struck him in the arm and
nearly broken it—inquired whether the Right lion.
Gentleman at the Home-office intended instituting
any inquiry into the case, and into the conduct
of the police generally ? A plain question, de-
manding a plain answer.
But no—the Right Hon. Baronet of the tribe
of the GREYS was not prepared to assume that the
Commissioners of Police had in this case done
otherwise than their duty—shall we say as the
conceited Tenth of April in cambric had instructed
them ? Of course he was not prepared ;of course
he was ignorant of the case, and indisposed to
stir in it. Being what he is it was hardly unbe-
coming in him, though most unbecoming in one
holding his place, under the circumstances, to
state that "if the facts were true the policemen
were as amenable as any other persons to the
magistracy." A reply like this, however, was
not by any means so clear as the Honourable
Member had a right to expect. The consequence
was Mr. PHILLIMOBE pressed the question, and
demanded an answer. This was provoking. Sir
GEORGE GREY got ruffled, and having flippantly
remarked that he was not aware of the necessity
for so doing, said if the writer of the letter which
Mr. ROEBUCK had quoted "had first addressed hint,
the matter might have been inquired into," leaving
the impression that now it would not ! Aby no
means direct, but very notable answer.
So it has come to this. Administrative Reformers
—look to it. A sworn Secretary of State, in a case

where the very life of a British citizen was bru-
tally perilled by a subordinate protector of the
