CHICORY AND COFFEE.

Mr. CRAWFORD (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 duly upon those articles?
'l'ns CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that orders hnd 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-
ticles, separate or combined.
THE CHINESE MILITIA. _ _ _

Mr. LIDDELL asked the Under Secretary of State for
War whether British officers tempoiarily employed in com-
manding or drilling Chinese militia, were still borne 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 30 mile radius.
TURKEY. _ .

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.
