troops to Balaklava instead of to Eupatoria, and wit r
reference to his general conduct.) That was the orde
which he produced in the original before the committee.
After the conclusion of*the debate on Friday he had
reason to believe he had made an incorrect statement,
and he wrote to the First Lord of the Admiralty
asking him to furnish him (Sir James Graham)
with copies of the official documents, which, how-
ever, he had not received, but, on referring to
the letter he had read before the Sebastopol
committee, and the despatch to Admiral Lyons on his
assuming the command of the fleet, and that his
power extended to the dismissal of any officer wide*
him, he found it bore date the 3d of January
and though he had not seen the official answers to that
order, he had no doubt the removal of Capt. Christie did
take place in consequence of that order. He had now
stated to the house exactly the error he com-
mitted in that respect. With reference to the trial
of Captain Christie by court-martial, rather than
that be should appear before the Sebastopol Com.,
mittee, be begged to say—and he spoke only from
recollection—that Admiral Lyons having removed Cap-
tain Christie from his command, and appointed another

he assured the house was quite alien to his
feelings. The cause of the hon. member's conduct in
doing so he (Sir J. Graham) would not stop to inquire
hit°. It was to be regretted the bon, member should
have imputed deliberate falsehood to him, but he threw
himself on the indulgence of the house, after having had
the honour of a seat in it for 37 years, whether he could
for one moment venture to impose on the house in the
manner the hon. member bad imputed. (Hear.)
THE IRISH SOCIETY.

Mr. WMAHON wished to ask the Chief Secretary
for Ireland whether it was his intention to bring in a
bill this session to carry out the recommendation of the
commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the
Corporation of London, that the Irish Society be dis.
solved, and its charter repealed by act of Parliament,
and its property vested in a new set of trustees, to be
appointed by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland?

GREY could not positively state the course to
be adopted, as it would very much depend upon the
course the house thought proper to pursue with respect
to the Metropolitan Management Bill.
CONSTABULARY FORCE (IRELAND.)

Mr. H. HERBERT wished to ask' the Chief Secre-
tary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, when the
annual statement of the amount of constabulary force
employed in each county in Ireland on the Ist day of
January, 1855, pursuant to the act 6 Will. 4, c. 13, s.
57, would be presented to the house. Whether the at•
tention of the Chief Secretary had been called to the
injustice inflicted oh certain counties in Ireland by the
allocation of the constabulary force according to the
schedule of the act 11 and 12 Vic., c. 72. And, whe-
ther it was the intention of the Government to take any
steps towards a more just allocation of the force, in pro-
portion to the area and population of the several coun-
ties of Ireland ?

Mr. HORSMAN could give no positive answer upon
the question. All he could say was that the subject was
under the consideration of the Government.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Captain SCOBELL was anxious to know from the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether, now that
the colony of the Cape of Good Hope was in the enjoy-
ment of a representative constitution, it had been or was
intended to be arranged that the colonists should here.
after pay the cost of their own military protection.
Lord J. RUSSELL was in hopes that he should be
able to lay upon the table of the house on an early day
the papers relative tothe subject alluded to by the gal-
lant captain.
