reimbursed.
DISTRICT POST-OFFICES.

Sir DE L. EVANS asked the Secretary to the Trea-
sury, what the Postmaster-General intended to do with the
nine residences attached to the district post-offices situate
at High Holborn, Vere-street, Buckingham-gate. Camden-
town, Lambeth, Borough, Islington, Bethnal-green, and
Commercial .road, which had been unoccupied for pet iods
varying from one to five years ?
Mr. F. PEE L. replied that the buildings were occupied
by the principal Post-office officers of the district. When
the Post-office arrangements had been completed, these
buildings would be permanently occupied.
THE CASE OF JOHN LILLEY, 6rit DRAGOONS.
Mr. FORTESCUE, who had a question on the paper oil
this subject, intimated that he proposed bringing on the
motion on Monday on going into committee of supply.

CAPTAIN RODERICK DEW. -
Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary to the Admiralty,
whether it was the intention of the Admiralty to submit
the conduct of Captain Roderick Dew, of her Majesty's
ship Encounter, to the judgment of a court martial, for
carrying on military operations in China beyond the 30
miles radius from a treaty port at the siege Shon-hing, 50
miles from Ningpo, in which the life of Lieut. Tinling,
of her Majesty's ship Encounter, was sacrificed, in disobe-
dience of the instructions conveyed in Earl Russell's
despatch to Mr. Bruce, dated 26th August, 1862.
Lord C. PAGET replied that no official information had
yet been received at the Admiralty, which was probably to
be accounted for by the admiral of the station being at the
extreme end of it, on the coast ofJapan. He had, however,
rec-ived a letter from Captain Pew, stating that he merely
accompanied the expedition as an amateur.
THE EGYPTIAN ROUTE TO INDIA.
Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for India,
whether her Majesty's Government had taken into con-
sideration the advantages that might result, politically
and financially, from using the route through
Egypt for our troops going to and returning
from India : whether any correspendence on the
subject has passed between the Secretary of State and any
of the chief authorities at either of the Presidencies in
India on the subject; and, if so, if there would be any ob-
jection to laying the correspondence upon the table
Sir C. WOOD said the attention of the Government had
been directed to the matter, and some correspondence was
going on between the naval and military departments on the
subject, which was of a twofold nature—financial and sani-
tary. It was right, however. to state that a committee had
investigated the propriety of adopting the proposed route,
and reported bgainst it.
CHICORY AND COFFEE.
Mr. CRAWI4 ORD (for Mr. Moffatt) asked the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer whether the restrictions which at
present existed in regard to the sale of chicory and coffee
mixed, were not now to be removed in consequence of the
equalisation of duty upon those articles ?
Tne CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that orders hid been issued removing the restrictions which
had heretofore existed. The officers of the Excise would
not therefore, interfere in any way with the sale of the ar-
ticks, separate or combined.
THE CHINESE MILITIA.
Mr. LIDDELL asked the Under Secretary of State for
War whetherßritish officers temporarily employed in com-
manding or drilling Chinese militia, were still i)orne on the
strength of their respective regiments ; whether, while so
employed, they received her Majesty's half-pay ; and whe-
ther their promotion went on in the ordinary course ?
The Marquis of HARTINGTON replied that the officers
were, strictly speaking, only lent, but were nevertheless
available for any duty that their own service might require
of them. They received regimental full pay, and their pro-
motions went on in the ordinary way, but they were not
permitted to go beyond the 30RKEY mile radius.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. GREGORY rose to call the attention of the house
to the condition of Turkey and its dependencies; and to
move for papers.

lities of the undertaking and the necessary comple-
tion of the line required a further outlay of from
£BO,OOO to £lOO,OOO, and it was intended to sub-
scribe, if necessary, an additional X 150,000 in the
proportions mentioned. It was possible that the
whole of this amount would not be required. He
then moved the approval of the bill.
The Hon. Mr. PONSONBY seconded the motion.
The motion approving of the bill was then put
and carried.
The meeting was then adjourned to the 12th of
June for the consideration of the remaining bills, and
another bill included in the company's unties of the
May and not included in the list submitted

A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and di-
rectors closed the proceedings.
