THE DEATH OF LIEUT. TINLING.
Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether, consequent upon the communication made by him
to the house on the let of June, respecting Captain Dew's
report of the death of Lieut. Tinling, of the Encounter,
under the walls of Shon-hing, it was the intention of the
Admiralty to call upon the Admiral commanding in the
China seas for a special report of the circumstances which
led Captain Dew and Lieutenant Tinling to be engaged in
two successive assaults upon Shon-hing, and by whose
authority they were engaged in the siege ; whether Capt.
Dew was held responsible for the 8-inch howitzer, lent
by General Salter to aid iu the siege of Shon-hing, and
generally to report what foundation there is for the
statements in the Shanghai newspapers that the pay-
master of the Encounter was dangerously injured by
an explosion of gunpowder at Shon-king, and that
after the repulse of the second assault at Shon-king,
Captain Dew visited Shanghai to obtain supplies of siege
ammunition, and by his agency induced a body of European
adventurers of all nations to proceed to Shon-hing as mili-
tary volunteers.
Lord C. PAGET replied that his department expected to
receive sherily a full report of all the circumstances from
Admiral Cupar. Neither the Admiralty nor the War-
office had any knowledge of the loan of an 8-inch howitzer.
The Admiralty deeply regretted the lamentable death of a
promising young officer,
THE PURCHASE OF THE INTERNATIONAL
EXHIBITION.
Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether his attention had been called to a design pre-
pared by Captain Fuwke for the alteration or completion
of the Exhibition building ; whether her Majesty's Govern-
ment approved generally of such design; and, if so,
whether the cost of the same was included in the estimate
now laid upon the table of the house ?
Mr. GREGORY asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether a detailed statement of the expense to be incurred
in altering, repairing, completing, and rendering beautiful
the International Exhibition building will be printed and
laid before the house, previous to a vote of £485,000 being
taken as the first expense connected with the purchase of
that building ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied that it was his intention
to enter into details when he submitted the proposition to
the house. No decision had yet been come to with respect
to the alteration of the original design.
Mr. GREGORY—ShaII we have the details before the
explanation ?
Sir R. PEEL intimated that the details would be laid on
the table to-morrow. _ _

Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked when the noble lord would
make his explanation ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied on Monday week,
Mr. GREGORY intimated that he intended to move the
rejection of the proposed vote. (Hear, hear.)
