IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CILtNCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition against
church rates ; and also one from the corporation of
Plymouth, in favour of the speedy trial of offenders.
The Earl of DARNLEY presented petitions from Ro•
chester and Chatham, praying for the entire closing of
public houses on Sundays.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
Fordyce, in Banffshire, against any further grant to
Maynootb.

THE BRITISH ARMY.—INCREASE OF PAY.
The Duke of RICHMOND called the attention of
their lordships to the advertisements issued by the War-
office, offering 100 guineas for the best plans for the
erection of barracks for infantry and cavalry, and ex-
pressed a hope that due care would be taken to provide
the most decent accommodation for the wives and families
of the soldiers, which would afford the best guarantee
for the morality and good conduct of the army. He
wished to ask if it was intended to provide such accom-
rnodation in the barracks as that to which he bad re-
ferred, and he was also desirous of knowing whether the
recruiting for her Majesty's forces was going on satis-
actorily

Lord PANMURE said that the tendency of public
opinion as well as the public acts of the House of Com-
mons in voting supplies for the army was to improve
the condition of the soldiers. Although no good had
been done in that direction much more remained
to be done in the way of accommodation and comfort of
the soldier. In respect to tee noble duke's question as
to the construction of barracks, the committee appointed
to consider the question had not as yet reported,
and he was, therefore, unable to say what the
result of their enquiry had been. He concurred with
the noble duke in thinking that without dry rooms the
barracks of the soldiers could not be either wholesome
or decent. If married men were to reside in these
barracks it was absolutely essential that scecial
accommodation should be accorded them. He,
however, confessed he was one of those who pre•
ferred to see the army without women, and that the
young soldier should be taught to do that for him-
self which was ordinarily done by women. He
thought that a young soldier entering the army
at the age of eighteen should Lot marry until he had
passed his ten years' eervlce. As to the re-enlistment
in the army their was no doubt that the present establish-
ment was much below the necessities of the country.
Although a great number had been enlisted, there were
neuertheless great losses by war as well as well as by
disease. It occurred to the Government that it might
be desirable to increase the bounty for enlistment. Hav-
ing however consulted with the noble lord at the head
of the army and other persons of great experience he
had been dissuaded from doing so. Her Majesty's
Government intended to adopt a plan, although novel
in her Majesty's army. That plan was to grant to all
soldiers actually engaged in the field double pay
but that the additional shilling should not
be given to the soldier at once, but should
be saved for him in the eavings' bank. It was not to be
drawn by him as his regular pay, as he (Lord Panmure)
considered the usual rate adequate for all his wants.
Should the soldier unfortunately not survive to receive the
savings, then the accumulation should go to those rela-
tions nearest and dearest to him. But should he survive
the saved sum would be paid to him, not in lieu, but in
addition to any pension he might become entitled to. He
trusted this system would be found to work much better
than an increase of the bounty, and thai the young men
of this country would come forward, and render that
assistance which the country at the present moment
stood in need of. (Hear, hear.)

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL.
The house then went into committee on this bill ; the
reserved clauses were taken first.

On ciauqe 36, relative to the salary of the chairman
f the board,

Lurd EIriVIOUR was of opinion it would be better
to pay the chairman of the board a fixed salary. Thera
should he a properly constituted court of appeal in cases
of disputed rating.
Lord EBRINGTON concurred in opinion with the
nielle lord the member for Totnes
Captain DUNCONIBE considered all the members of
the board should be paid. That could be done at

. _
an expense of 5,0001. per annum, equal to a rating of
about one-tenth of a penny in the pound.
Sir B. HALL suggested that the house should decide
first on the amount of salary to be paid to the chairman
of the board, and after that the number to constitute the
board, and whether or not they should be paid, when he
would prepare a clause to effect that object.
Mr. HENLEY thought the more the committee en-
tered into the consideration of the bill the more the
difficulties thickened. He was afraid they were about
to constitute a board eminently deliberative, but with
very little executive powers.
The clause, as further amended, was then ordered to
stand part of the bill.
On clause 29,
Some discussion, in which Mr. Henley, Lord Seymour,
Mr. Williams, Mr. Wilkinson, Sir J. V. Shelley, and
Lord Ebringtun joined, took place in reference to the
proprietyof notice being given to all the members of
thel‘lo Metropolitan Board before any matter of impor-
' tance was brought forward for discussion, and also as
to the desirability of the quorum being fixed at 9.
The clause as amended was afterwards agreed to.
Clause 125 as amended was also ordered to stand
part of the bill,

Several new clauses, having reference to rating of pro-
perty, were then added to the bill.
Some discussion took place upon several of the post-
poned clauses of the bill, and at 4 o'clock the further
consideration of the measure was postponed to Tuesday.
The house then adjourned to six o'clock.

The house resumed at six o'clock.
THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Lord SEYMOUR asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether the amount of remuneration to be paid
to the architect of the New Palace, Westminster, had
been decided upon by the Treasury ; if not, whether any
further progress towards the settlement of his claims had
been made since the promise given to the house upon
that subject in the year 1853 ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
claim of Sir Charles Barry had been under the considera-
tion of the Treasury, and was now likely to be speedily
adjusted. As soon as that was completed, and embo-
died in a Treasury minute, there would be no
objection to produce it. There had been a payment to
Sir C. Barry on account, but he was unable to state
the amount.
ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS TO PRISONS.

In answer to a question from Mr. SPOONER,
Sir G. GREY said that no Roman Catholic priest
was in the receipt of pay from the Government for his
attendance as chaplain at any of the Government
prisons. . .

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES PROM FIELD-
MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN.

( From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, JUNE 28.
Lord Panmure has this day received two despatches and
their enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan,
G.C.B.

Before Sebastopol, June 14, 1855.

. .
My Lord,—Your Lordship will be concerned to learn
that the army still suffers from cholera, and that it has
increased since the last report.
The men in general, however, look healthy, and I
hope that the duration of this sad malady will not be
long.
The reports of the state of the Sardinian army are to-
day a little more satisfactory.
I have, &c.,
RAGLAN.
The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. &c.

Before Sebastopol, June 16, 1855,

My Lord,—l have the honour to acquaint your lord-
ship that Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown and
Admiral Sir E. Lyons, returned from Kertch yesterday,
having fully and successfully accomplished the objects of
the expedition to that part of the Crimea.
I have the highest satisfaction in drawing your lord-
ship's attention to the manner in which the Lieutenant-
General conducted the duties I entrusted to his charge ;
and I entertain no doubt that if he had encountered the
resistance which I was led to expect he would have met
with, the result would have been equally advantageous,
and would have reflected the same credit upon his ar-
rangements, whilst the efficiency and gallantry of the
troops would have been brought into stronger light,
But it is a matter of great joy that so much should have
been done without the loss of a life.

He feels greatly indebted to General Dautemarre and
Reschid Pasha, who commanded the French and Turk.
ish troops respectively, for their ready co-operation and
assistance.

It has afforded me the most sincere pleasure to have
the opportunity of personally congratulating Sir E.
Lyons on the success Gf the expedition, for which he
was from the first so warm an advocate, and to which he
always attached the highest importance, and on the re-
sult of the attacks upon the enemy's possessions in the
Sea of Azoff. The excellence of the arrangements for
the bombardment of Taganrog does infinite honour to
Captain Lyons, of H.M.S. Miranda, and at once testi-
fies his ability, determination, and gallantry.
The progress of the works against Sebastopol since 1
reported to your lordship on the 12th has been per-
fectly satisfactory, and new batteries are completed,
which will enable both the English and the French
armies to resume the offensive with the utmost vigour.

I enclose returns of the casualties which have arisen
to the 14th inst.

I have, &c.

RAGLAN.

The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. &c.
P.S. I have just received a letter from Col. Shirley,
in which he expresses his regret at having omitted the
name of Captain Peel, 34th Regiment, who was severely
wounded in the successful attack of the Quarries on the
7th ult., where he highly distinguished himself.
