FACTORY LABOUR.
- - -

Mr. I. BUTT wished to ask the Secretary of State
for the Home Department whether any commission
had been issued to inquire into the employment of women
and children in bleaching establishments in England and
Ireland. If so, when the report of the commission would
be obtained ; and whether it was intended to lay it on
the table of the house
Sir G. GREY said such a commission bad been
appointed, but its labours were not yet terminated.
BALAKLAVA RAILWAY.

Mr. LOCKE wished to ask whether any report had
been received from the engineers cent out to construct
the railway at Balaklava, stating the progress which
had been already made, and the time that would be ne-
cessary for completing the railway 3 Also, whether any
common stone road existed between Balaklava and the
extremity of the lines, capable of serving the wants of
the army ; and, if not, whether any orders had been
given for the construction of such a road
Lord PALMERSTON said accounts had been re-
ceived of the arrival of the engineers and workmen who
were sent out to lay down the railway. On the 6th of
February they had begun their operations, and at that
date they were in Balaklava. 15 miles of rails, together
with all the other things necessary for laying down the
railway, which had begun with every prospect of success.
He apprehended there was no other road but the one
which bad hitherto existed, and which was liable to be
constantly interrupted by frost or rain.
Mr.„ LOCKE reminied the noble lord that he had not
answered the question as to what length of time it
would take to complete it.
Lord PALMERSTON said the Government had re-
ceived no report whatever upon that point.
MAYNOOTH.

Mr. SPOONER wished to ask the First Lord of the
Treasury when the report of the commissioners ap-
pointed to inquire into the system of education carried

ljareent. Also, whether it be true that a copy of the
evidenon taken before that commission has been for-
warde 3 to Dr. Cullen ; and, if so, when and by whose
author ity it was so forwarded.
Lord. PALMERSTON was sorry to say he was un-
able to answer the first question, but he was wholly
ignora at of the matter to which the second referred.
Mr. SPOONER.—Perhaps the noblePord will make
inquiry , about the report, because it is very important.
RAJAH BROOKE.

Mr. ]ORUMMOND wished to ask the First Lord of
the Tres miry, whether, in any papers about to be laid
before P ornament, it will appear by what means Mr.
Napier, a former Lioutenaut-Governor of Labuan, dis-
missed by Earl Grey for misconduct in his office, was
enabled on the 28th of June to write to the Sultan

__ Bo rneo, enumerating the points of inquiry
into :4ir James Brooke's conduct, directed by
Lord Clare.ndon in his despatch of the 21st of that same
month. And whether the Government will institute an
inquiry- -mat a view to discover the clerk or clerks in
the Fogeign-office who must have betrayed the confidence

Gi_FEBRITARY to 4

reposed in them, or whether it will be necessary to niov.,
for a committee of this house to inquire into these facts.
Lord PALMERSTON confessed his inability to an-
swer either questitn.
SERJEANTS IN THE ARMY.

Mr. PELLATT wished to ask the Under Secretary
of State for War whether serjeants, the only rank in the
British army whose pay is not increased by length of
service, however meritorious, and who by promotion
from corporals to serjeants are deprived of good conduct
money to which they were entitled, the Government in-
tended to allow serjeants while serving the same increase
of pay as is now given to corporate, namely, one penny
per day for every term of five years' meritorious service,
with corresponding retiring pensions ; also, whether
reasonable pensions would be allowed to th• widows of
serjeants
Mr. F. PEEL reminded the hon. member that the
position of serjeant was considered equivalent to the
position of a corporal or private in the receipt of good
service pay, and therefore it had never been the practice
to grant an increase of pay on the promotion.
