DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.
Mr LINDSAY moved an address for copy of any cor-
respondence between her Majesty's Government and the
Governments of France, Spain, and Portugal from 1850 to
1863 inclusive, relating to the abrogation of the dis-
criminating duties still levied upon British vessels
and their cargoes trading With those countries.
He contended that there should be an alteration in the
afforded existing
for system, ttehme
, extensionin ordero
thatf u
o rs
there might bo more facility
h ipping
commerce with
different countries on the coatinent, particularly Spain,
France, and Portugal.
Mr M. GIBSON said that he fully concurred with the
hon. member as to the inexpediency of maintaining the
navigation laws in their integrity, as they were found to be
unsuited to the exigencies of the time and the principle of
free trade. They had been in communication with the
Governments of France, Spain, and Portugal on this
most important subject, and the result was satisfactory, the
tendency being to carry out fully the principle of free trade.
The motion was agreed t 9, and the return was accord..
ingly ordered.

Lumley can in most cases introduce immediate customers,
where the property is of an eligible character, thereby avoid-
ing the disadvantages of delay and its attendant incon-
veniences.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
Mr. CAIRD moved the following resolution :—" That,
in the opinion of this house, the collection and early
publication of the agricultural statistics of Great Bri-
tain would be advantageous to the public interests.'
He drew attention to the importance of this subject, and
alluded to the practice that prevailed in Ireland, that of
making the police the collectors of these statistics,
but he considered that the adoption of such an agency
would not be suitable to the circumstances of
this country. He strongly advocated the application of
the operation of the Op:lnane° Survey Department
to this subject, and he called the attention
of the house to the value, in a scientific point of view, of
an extensive and practical record of the agricultural
productions of the country, which would be free from any-
thing of an inquisitorial character.

Col. BARTiELOT opposed the motion, and contended
the feeling among the farmers was decidedly adverse to the
collection of agricultural statistics, which they believed
would do them no good, and he hoped the house would not
agree to the resolution.

STANFORD S. SMITH Secretary.

Mr PACIE likewise opposed the motion, which was sup.
ported by Mr PAGET.

Lord HOTHAM. retained the opinion he had before ex-
pressed, that, without more forcible moans than the house
would sanction, it would not be possible to obtain returns
with sufficient correctness, and unless correct they would
produce an effect different from that desired, and do more
harm than good.

Mr Dent, Mr Hubbard, Mr Thomson, and Lord Naas
spoke in favour of the motion.
Mr M. Ginsow observed that there had been no difference
of opinion in the house upon this point—that, if accurate
agricultural statistics could be obtained, the returns would
be of advantage, not only to the agricultural, but to the
mercantile interest. It was, therefore, unnecessary to ex-
press any general opinion in the form of a resolution ; the
whole difficulty was how to do it. He pointed out the
many obstacles to the collection of accurate returns, and,
remarking that the question must be approached with very
great caution, he examined the plans suggested for making
the collections ; he agreed,
returns were most desirable, but, unless the house was pre-
slightest
pred to sanction some particular plan, there was not the

LADYERTISEMEXT.]-11olloway's Ointment.—Bad legs,
wounds, ulcers, and all descriptions of sores are cured by the
proper and diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To
attempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the
wound together is a folly, for, should the skin unite, a
boggy diseased condition remains underneath to break out
with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and
successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the
inflammation in and about the wound—to soothe the neigh-
bouring nerves—to cool the heated blood as it courses along
_ _

its vessels—and to render the thin, watery, ichorous dis-
charge consistent and healthy. Holloway's Pills should be

President Jefferson Davis, howe'ver, soon dis-
cerned in Lee the man whom the emergency re-
quired, and called him to a higher post. He was
appointed General and Commander of the Forces in
Virginia; and taking np the remnant of Garnett's
corps, which had been shattered by M'Clellan at
Rich Mountain, he soon cleared the north-west
counties of the enemy's presence. After performing
this service he took charge of the Ministry of War
at Richmond, and applied himself to the immense
preparations that were necessary for the campaign
of 1862. In planning that campaign it was General
Lee's opinion, contrary to the judgment of Beaure-
gard, that the best lines for the defences of Richmond
were—firstly, that of the Rappahannock; and,
secondly, that of the Rapidan; whereas Beauregard
would have drawn them further north, at Manassas
Gap and Bull Run. That General Lee was in the
right has been proved by the campaigns of 1863
and 1864. The strip of country between the Rapidan
and Richmond being hilly and thickly wooded, gave
him peculiar facilities for constructing those fortis
fled positions on which his skill as a military engi-
neer, in the intervals of active campaigning, has
been constantly employed. It will be remembered
that General M'Clellan, his worthy antagonist in
1862, was so convinced of the impregnability of
these lines, guarding the direct road by Fredericks-
burg to the Confederate capital, that he sought to
turn them by transporting his army down Chesa-
peke Bay to the peninsula below Richmond, and
landing on the banks of the James River. But the
Federal army, wasted by a series of fiercely-fought
battles and by the disease of an unhealthy climate
at midsummer, was compelled to abandon the prize
which then seemed almost within its grasp. It was
at that period, when General Joseph Johnston
was disabled in the battle of Seven Pines,
that General Lee succeeded to the supreme
command of the Confederate armies in the
field. Promptly taking advantage of the
weak position of M'Clellan who lay too
loosely on both banks of the Chickahominy, sepa-
rated from M'Dowell and his other supports, Lee
sallied out of Richmond and attacked him with such
pertinacious energy that, in seven days' continuous
fighting, the Federals were driven to their ships.
The subsequent movements in the Upper Potomac,
and the whole campaign of 1863 were conducted on
a very different principle. So long as General Lee
stood on the defensive in the neighbourhood of Fre.
dericksburg he could secure his chosen line of the
Rappahannock against all the attempts of Burnside
and Hooker to make their way south. But when,
having defeated Hooker at Chancellorsville, he
ventured beyond the defences of Virginia, and in.
vaded the territory of Maryland, necessarily losing
much time by a circuitous road to the west, General
Lee was not so successful. The checks which Gen.
M'Clellan at Antietam Creek, and General
Meade at Gettysburg, administered to the Con-
federate army had more effect, probably, than any
other incidents of this war in defining the regular
capabilities of the two hostile forces. It seemed to
be as difficult for the South to approach Baltimore
and Washington as for the North to conquer Rich 4
mond. The remainder of last year was chiefly em-

ENLISTMENTS.—A return of the enlistments of
I the army at the several recruiting districts in the United
King'dcra in the last four years shows a great variation in
numbers, but enlistments are of eoursa mainly regulated by
the wants of the army. In 1860 21,66,4 men were enlisted,
in 1861, B,l3S—in 1862, 4,642—and. in 1863, 6,294. The
number enlisted in 1863 therefore vas rather less than a
third of the number in 1860, but th,e proportion did not fall
equally in each of the three countr.les. In 1860 there were
15,602 men enlisted in England, b ut in 1863 only 3,766—in
Scotland, 1,779 in 1860, and as raany as 1,114 in 1863—al
Ireland 4,283 in 1660, and ae pap.uy as 2,011 in 1863.

Robert Edmund Lee was born, in 1838, of an old
English family which had been settled in Virginia
for many generations before the American colonies
separated themselves from their allegiaeca to Great
Britain. He is a gentleman by birth, breeding,
and social position. He is a large landed proprietor,
being the owner of Whitehouscs, an estate formes •y
belonging to Washington, which is situated opo4
Arlington Heights, on the Virginia shore of the
Potomac, overlooking the city of Washington, which
takes its name from that bero. Lee was regularly
educated for the profession of arms in the United
States Military Academyat Nest Point. served
in the Engineer Corps in the Mexican carepeign.
At the battle of C;lepultepee he was severely
wounded, and was twice promoted for consp;-
cans gallantry during that war ; though it
was considered that neither Lee nor Beauree
hard, who also behaved with great distinction
in Mexico, obtained as much notice as they deserved
in the despatches of General Scott. In 1852 Alljor
Lee was appointed superintendent of the Military
Academy ; bat three years afterwards he was sent
to Europe in company with MT:ellen, then captain,
as American military commissioners, to study the
proceedings of the French and English armies is
the siege of Sebastopol. On that occasion Lee was
advanced to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel of the
2d Regiment of Cavalry, and this was his position
at the beginning of 1861, when the war of secession
broke out. He was at San Antonio, in Texas, com-
manding his own regiment, when he heard that the
State of Virginia, which he regards as his proper
country, had withdrawn from the Federal Union,
and that the Northern States were going to ni3lelf7V7Vt.'
war upon the South to force them to return to their
allegiance. Colonel Lee felt it was his duty under
these circumstances to be a soldier of Virginia, and
no longer a servant of the Federal Government in
which Virginia had now no part. He raised a small
body of militia in his own neighbourhood to occupy
Arlington Heights, but was ordered by the Con-
federate Government to fall back on Fairfax Court
House, while Beauregard was preparing to meet
the first onset of the enemy at Manassas and Bull
Run.
