MPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition
from Manchester, praying that in any arrangement
entered into for the cessation of hostilities the restora-
tion of Poland might be insisted upon.
The Duke of ARGYLL presented a petition from
Dumfries, praying for the prohibition of distillation
from grain.
In reply to Lord ST. LEONARDS,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Solicitor-
General intended to move for leave to bring a bill into
the other house on the subject of testamentary jurisdic-
tion. It was also his intention to introduce a measure
to amend the law of divorce and to improve the system
of church discipline.
PRIVATE BILLS.

The Cambridge University and Town Water Bill and
,he Taunton Gas Bill were read a second time.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL.

On the motion of Lord BROUGHAM, the house
went into committee on this bill.
After some discussion, in which the Lord Chancellor,
Lord St. Leonards, Lord Brougham, and the Bishop of
Exeter took place,
The bill passed through commtttee.
DEAN FOREST BILL.

On the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY
this bill sas read a second time.
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.

Lord BROUGHAM then rose to call the attention
of the house to the adjourned debate of the 23d and
26th on the subject of criminal procedure. The noble
and learned lord said, when he looked back to the great
changes that had taken place in eur criminal law
during the last 30 years the great bulk of them only
referred to the procedure of the law. In 1828, when be
made a statement to the other house of Parliament, which
gave rise to considerable discussion, he enumerated no
less than 95 great defects in our law. It appeared that
of that number no less than 80 had been referred not to
the law itself, but procedure. He trusted that the subject
would be well considered by the Government during
the recess, and that they would, upon the re-assembling
of Parliament after the recess, assent to the issuing of a
commission to inquire into the whole subject. He had
already laid on the table 30 resolutions, which he in-
tended to press upon their lordships' consideration.
The LORD CHANCELLOR having passed a high
compliment upon the labours of the noble and learned
lord for the services he bad rendered to the administra-
tion of justice, and he could assure him that the subject
should have the best consideration of the Government
with a view to carry out every amendment that was
possible.
After a few words from Lord LYTTELTON.
The subject dropped.
Lord MONTEAGLE moved for a copy of a letter
from the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank
of England to the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the
14th of March.
The letter was then ordered to be printed and laid on
the table of the house.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
Earl GRANVILLE then moved that the house at its
rising should adjourn till Monday, the 16th of April.
The LORD CHANCELLOR explained that, with
the assistance of Lord Brougham and two or three
other peers who had promised to attend on Monday and
Tuesday next, at eleven, to hear some heavy appeal
cases, but that no other business would be transacted
until Monday, the 16th of April.
The Earl of ELLENBOBOUGH complained that the
period for which it was intended to adjourn was much
longer than was usual on such occasions. We were just
now at the end of the first year of the war ; and he
thought it would not be amiss to look at what had been
dine, and what remained to be accomplished. Webad lost
half our army, and we had lost half our Government,
and our position now before Sebastopol, was such that
we could neither advance nor retreat. It was unfavour-
able for us to conceal from ourselves the fact, that our
reputation, as a military nation, ware greatly damaged.
All our movements with respect to the war had been too
late, aml the result was that our army was plc-ed in a
false position ; and he regretted that the same complaint
applied to our navy, fur lie found that the second part of
the fleet about to be sent to the Baltic would be wholly
inadequate to maintain our supremacy.
(LEFT SITTING.)

ing the militia in Scotland, and praying for a reform in

CADETSHIPS AT WOOLWICH.

Mr. HEYWOOD asked the Clerk of the Ordnance
whether any public notice had been given of a recent
examination for cadetships at Woolwich, and whether,
on the non-appearance of candidatiss, a number of com-
missions in the Artillery bad been given without any
special examination in scientific subjects ?
Mr. MONSELL replied that in order to meet the
augmentation of the artillery it was necessary to find
some older men than the cadets at Woolwich, and 30
appointments had been made from young men connected
with the different universities.
WAR ACCOUNTS.
Mr. G. DUNDAS asked the Under Secretary for
War, if it was true, as stated in a public journal, that a
detachment of sixty-five soldiers a.nd an officer, ordered
to join the 66th Regiment at Leeds, from Brecon in
Wales, proceeded by the circuitous route of Newport,
Bristol, London, and Hull, and thence to Leeds ?
Mr. PEEL said it was quite true, and the route was
taken to avoid the inconvenience of billeting the detach.
ment between Hereford and Brecken.
VENTILATING SHIPS.

Mr. PERCY asked the Under-Secretary for War
whether any mechanical contrivance for the purpose of
ventilation had been applied to the ships fitted or fitting
out as Hospital-ships for the East ?
Mr. PEEL said the vessels fitting out at Liverpool
would be provided with proper ventilating apparatus.
THE SUPERIOR COURTS.

Mr. MULLINGS asked the Chief Commissioner of
Public Works and Buildings whether, having regard to
the number of judges, both of law and equity, so greatly
increased within the last 30 years, and that during that
period no permanent courts have been provided for the
additional ju lges appointed, and to the want of proper
accommodation for them, ►t was the intention of the
Government to take any and what• measures, and when,
for providing proper buildings and accommodation for
superior courts of justice in the metropolis ?
Sir W. MOLESWORTII said several schemes had
been brought under his consideration, but it would re-
quire a million sterling to execute any of them, and it
was not the intention of Government to ask for such a
vote at present.
CLERGY RESERVES ACT.
Mr. DUNLOP asked the First Lord of the Treasury,
whether—onsiderig that by the Clergy Reserves Act,
recently passed by the legislature of Canada, and as-
sented to by the Governor-General in the name of her
Majesty, it was declared in the preamble to certain of
its enactments that "it was desirable to remove all sem-
blance of connection between Church and State"—it was
the intention of the Government to cease to maintain
that connection in Canada, by no longer advising her

Majesty to nominate to vacant bishoprics in that
colony.
Sir G. GREY sail there had been no vacancy since
the act passed, and he was not aware of any alteration
i❑ the practice of the Government.
HOSPITALS IN THE EAST. . ,

Mr. G. DUNDAS asked the Under Secretary for
War if directions had been sent by the Government to
the proper authorities in the Crimea and at Scutari to
relax the system of check and countercheck, and facili-
tate the obtaining from the purveyors' commissariat,
and storekeepers the provisions and necessaries which
the sick require ?
Mr. PEEL said such directions would be sent out,
and all unnecessary forms would in future be dispensed
with.

(witness) had, however, only been at the barrack hos,
pital once.
By the Chairman—He inspected the kitchens. He
thought cooking stoves were not at all arlapted for hos-
pital purposes. Whilst be was there he bad much evi-
dence as to the irregularity of the supply of food to the
patients. lie thought this arose from the radically bad
system in which the food was in the first instance issued
by the purveyor. He observed the condition of the
linen of the patients. He found some when he first
went there without any linen at all, the men being in
shirts of a filthy description. The washing at the gene-
ral hospital was done by some Armenians. In frequent
cases some of the shirts never came back, and the men
were of course reluctant to part with them for fear
they might never have them again. With regard to
the barrack hospital the purveyor had made a contract
with an Italian to do it, but he frequently broke the
bargain ; and the purveyor was obliged at last to have
recourse to somebody else ; but it was never done well.
The fact was, they did not understand the plan of boiling
clothes as they did in this country, and, of course,
clothes never could be perfect!y purified unless they
were boiled.
At the desire of the Chairman, Mr. Maxwell then
read from his report a list of the ai tidies Miss Nightingale
was in the habit of sopplying. Seine of these, be said,
were supplied, riot because there were none in store,
but because they were not of good quality.
The Chairman—Was port wine amongst these ?
Mr. Maxwell—Yes ; Miss Nightingale stated that
the port wii e was only logwood, and Mr. Macdonald
has repeated that before the committee. I tasted the
port wine, and it was exceedingly good-so good that I
had some several times afterwards. (Laughter.)
The Chairman—l suppose the person who gave you
the wine to taste thought you were a commissioner?
Mr. Maxwell—l didn't know. I didn't give bim
much time. I went tr him whilst others were being
served, and I said, " Give me a glass of that."
(Laughter.) No doubt there were varieties in the wine,
so I got good and Mr. Macdonald got bad. (A. laugh.)
By the Chairman—The commission were instructed
not to wait till their report was approved of before making
suggestions for the better management of the hospital,
and he represented various matters which it was desir-
able to a!ter to Lord W. Paulet, but he was not spoken
to relative to the linen and washing, because he (witness)
did not think that was a matter' with which his lord-
ship had anything at all to do.
At half past three o'clock the room was cleared for
consultation, and the committee afterwards adjourned
until after the Easter vacation.

THE LONDON GAZETTE.

(THIS EVENING.)

WAR-DEPARTMENT, MARCH 30.
Lord Panmure has received from the Earl of Clarendon
a letter and its enclosure, of which the following are copies,
addressed to Lord Clarendon by Major-General Cannon
(Ottoman army).

Georgevo, August 1, 1854.
My Lord,—l have the honour to forward to your lord-
ship copy of a despatch, dated 10th July, which I addressed
to his Highness Omer Pacha after the action of the 7th
July, at Rouschouk, and the passage of the Danube.
I take the liberty earnestly to recommend to your lord-
ship's most favourable notice the three surviving British
officers therein named, who served under my orders on that
clay, and I say it without fear of contradiction, that had
they not, by their gallantry and firmness, led on the
Turkish troops in the manner they did, the fate of that
eventful day might have proved to ho widely different.
Their names are Lieutenant-Colonels Balfour Ogilvy,
llinde, and Ballard, all of the Indian Army.--I have, &c.,
P. CANNON, Major-General.
To Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., G.C.B.

Enclosure.

Rouschouk, July 10, 1854.
Highness,—lt being my duty to bring under your High-
ness's favourable notice the conduct of the British officers
engaged in the action of the 7th instant, and the passage
of the Danube, I have the honour to state that I crossed
the river on that morning, with the first body of troops,
under the command of Ferik Beker Pasha, accompanied.
by Captain Bent, of the Royal Engineers, and Lieute-
nant Ballard, of the Bombay Engineers. These two offi-
cers were cohspicuous for their gallantry in leading
on our light infantry troops against the Russians,
and successfully carried everything before them, until
strong reinforcements of the enemy arrested their progress.
At this critical moment my aide-de-camp, Lieut.• Colonel
Youer Bey (Balfour Ogilvy), who had crossed higher up
the river, with a body of 500 men, arrived, and with him
Lieutenant-Colonel Beyzad Bey (Hinde). These two offi-
cers fought their way in the most gallant and spirited
manner, and succeeded in forming a timely junction with
the main body of our troops.
It is with pain I have to inform your highness that
Lieutenant Burke, of the Royal Engineers, was killed
whilst acting with a detached body of our troops. I have
also the melancholy duty to record the death of Captain
Arnold, of the 3d Regiment of Madras Light Infantry,
and Lieutenant Meynell, of her Majesty's 75th Regiment
of Foot, both serving on my personal staff. These two
brave British officers fell in a desperate conflict with the
enemy, and their remains now rest on the spot ennobled
by their fall. I am much indebted to all these officers
for their valuable services on that (lay ; and when I
remind your Highness that the following named officers—
Lieutenant-Colonels Youer Bey (Balfour Ogilvy) and Bey-
rid Bey (Hinde), Captains Arnold, Ballard. and Meynell,
were all volunteers, freely and gratuitously giving their
services in the just cause of his Imperial Majesty the Sul-
tan, I feel confident your Highness will permit me to re-
commend the survivors—Lieutenant-Camels Youer Bey
(Balfour Ogilvy), Beyzad Bey (Hinde, 65th Regiment Ben-
gal Infantry), and Captain BAllard, to your Highness's
most favourable consideration.
I have already, in a separate despatch, dons mysolf the
honour to bring the services of Captain B.mt, of the Royal
Engineers, under the favourable notice of his Excellency
General Lord Raglan.
With the highest respect, I have &c.,
(Signed) BEHRAA (GENERAL CANNON).

ADMIRALTY, bIARcu 29.
The following despatch and enclosure were received
at the Admiralty on the 15th January last :
GALLANT REPULSE OF THE ENEMY FROM
EUPATORIA, IN NOVEMBER LAST.
Btitaarkia, in the Archipelago, Dec. 30, 1854.
. .

Sir,—l be; you will lay beforo the foids Com Missioners
of the Admiralty the accompanying letter, sent to me some
time since, by Captain Brock, from Eupatoria, detailing
the gallant repulse of a large body of the enemy by the
force under his orders.l have, &c.,
J. W. D. DUNDAS, Vice-Admiral.
To the Secretary of the Admiralty, &c., &c., &c.

Enclosure.
Eupatoria, Nov. 15, 1854.
Sir —I have the honour to inform you, that, enc,ou.
raged by the catastrophe * mentioned iu my other letter
of this day's date, and our rockets having been blown
down, a large body of the enemy's cavalry, between seven
and eight thousand, supported by sixteen guns of horse
artillery, made an attack on us at 345 p.m.
They planted their guns (under cover of the mills) at
about a thousand yards, in front of our upper rocket bat-
tery, where we had two rockets, one 12-pounder howitzer,
and an 18-pounder iron carronade, procured from a mer-
chant ship.
They commenced a heavy fire of shot and shell, and with
sufficiently good practice to fall very thick around us, and
many shot lodged, and several shell exploded, in the para-
pet of the redoubt. Their fire was returned with great
spirit on our side, by the two rocket batteries, the upper
one commanded by Lieutenant Lambert, of the Spiteful,
and Mr. Lake, midshipman of the Leander ; Lieutenant
Hood, of the Arethusa, attended the lower battery, with
Mr. Mitchell, ato of the Leander, where were two 12-
pounder howitmzers, and one 18-pounder merchant ship's
guns, and three rockets, one 21-pounder, and two 12-
-pounders.
Haying no marines and but a few seamen, I reinforced
both batteries with fifty Arab troops, who, however, as the
enemy did not approach within musket shot, had no op-
portunity of doing anything, though, from their behaviour
under fire they seemed to promise well. The fire waskept up
with animation on both sides for nearly an hour, without any
casualties amongst us, except one man's thumb slightly
wounded, although it seemed wonderful that no one was
struck by the shot and shell, which flew pretty thickly. The
enemy's cavalry was drawn up in dense masses in the rear
and on each flank of their artillery, and, though an occa-
sional shot or rocket fell amongst them and disturbed their
formation, they seemed to be in excellent order. Both
our officers and men seemed animated with the highest
spirit, and, considering the immensely superior force on the
enemy's side, their firmness merited my warmest approba-
tion. My attention was devoted to the upper battery, being
nearest the enemy, and whence I coal t boat observe his
movements. S mie of our rockets were beautifully directed
by Lamb,t gunners' mate of the Arethusa, and Ball,
quartermaster of the L tander, and appeal ad to fall a mong,st
the horse artillery, and I have no doubt contributed to
hasten their retreat, which they did at about 4.40.
I may add that the officers and icon did their duty
with alacrity, and seemed anxious to have an oppor-
tunity of meeting the enemy. I have particularly to call
your attention to the steady and cool conduct of Lieu,
tenant Hood, who role over the field this morning, after
the action, an I ascertained that oar shot and rockets were
well directed, and appeared to fall exactly in the right
place ; he has recovered many of our shot at a time when
we most need them. I have likewise great satisfaction in
bringing before your notice the zeal and intelligence of
Mr. Brine, mate of the Leander, in charge of two 18-
pounder merchant ship's guns, at the Hospital post, and
he has reported to me the good conduct of James Mon-
goinery, leading seaman of her Majesty's ship Leander ; I
beg to recommend him to your favourable consideration.
The Tartars say the Russians lost many men, as they saw
many saddles vacant.
I have great pleasure in particularising the conduct of

Uri kehlOt. Heittteulia Of the I.sa44itt, tr4itt

out those trying times to both officers and men, as well as
that of Messrs. Irvine, mate of the Mega3ra, Dupuis, mid-
shipman of the Leander, Phillips, master's-assistant
of the Megxra, who has acted as my aide-de-camp,
Doctor Blake, assistant-surgeon of the Leander, and
the Reverend S. Robson, of the same ship, whose
manifold services in the field, as well as his own
duties, have merited great praise. Assisstant-Commissary-
General Gardiner I have found a most able assistant in
everything connected with his duty. I respectfully trust
that, in the defence of this town that you have done me
the honour to entrust me with, I have, as my limited
means will allow, carried your wishes into effect.—l
