ADMISSION TO SANDHURST.

Mr. COKTIKCIFIZDTasked the Secretary of State for
War why admissions to Sandhurst were not placed on the
same footing as those toWoolwich, namelhoompetitive exa-
mination ?
Sir G. LEWIS said that it was necessary that there
should be a higher scientific training for the artillery than
for regiments of the line, which was tie cause of the diffe-
rence alluded to by the hon. member.
EXPORTATION OF ENGLISU SALT TO TILE

Mr. J. TOLLEMA2H the President of the
Board of Trade what steps had been take; by the Govern-
ment to put an end to the virtual prohibition against the
exportation of English salt intc France; and whether there
was a prospect of the trade in that article being placed, at
an early period, on a more fiptcurable footing,in conformity
with the spirit of the French treaty; whether instructions
had been given to.; her Majesty's Minister at Brussels
to exercise due vigilance in obtaining from the Belgian Go-
vernment the measure of justice of admitting British trade
to a full participation in Avy advantages granted to the
trade of any other country ; whether it is not the fact that
English vessels are still excluded from the conveyance of
salt to Belgian Ports, whilst France has acquired, under her
late treaty with Belgium, the right to carry salt to Belgian
Ports, in French vessels, and that:they also enjoy a discount
of seven per cent. on the duty of 275 francs per ton,
levied on French Marine Salt so imported into Belgium :
and, whether the Government had instructed Mr. Mallet,
of the Board of Trade, who is now at Berlin, to obtain per-
mission for the transit of salt through the territory of the
Zollverein, with bonding facilities in the Zollverein Ports
for salt, so as to enable this country to send that article up
the large rivers into Poland and Russia, which countries
are new, to a great extent, supplied with Austrian salt.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that already there had been a
hope on the part of Government that the duty on Eng-
lish salt introduced into France would be reduced,
and he believed that the delay which had taken place
arose from it being considered necessary by the French
Government to make an inquiry into the duty on salt in
France as a preliminary. With regard to Belgium, the
Government of that State had not treated England
in the same way that she had done other countries
in reference to this article of import; but from
remonstrances made by the Government of this
country, it was expected that the favoured nation clause
would be extended to England. No instructions had
been given to Mr. Mallet on the subject.
INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS.

Mr. STANHOP E asked the Vice-President of the Com-
mitteee of Council of Education, if he hau endeavoured to
ascertain from those inspectors of schools who reported
of the schools inspected in 1860 that the follow-
ing subjects were taught excellently, well, er fairly,
—reading in 89 per cent., writing in 90 per cent.,
arithmetic in 83
per cent. ; whether they applied that
test to the merits of the teachers or of the scholars; and
whether if they
applied it to the Scholars, they applied it to
the whole of the school or only to the upper classes.
Mr. LOWE said that the number of inspectors who re

Sir R. PEEL said it was intended to introduce such a
bill, but not until after Easter.
EDUCATION, SCIENCE, AND ART.
Lord HENRY LENNOX moved—" That this house
was of opinion that, for the preparation of any estimates,
and for the expenditure of any monies voted in aid of the
British Museum, the National Gallery, and all other institu-
tions havin g for their object the promotion of education, science
and art, one Minister of the Crown should be responsible
to this house." He contended that this subject was one that
should receive the careful consideration of the house, who
were the keepers of the public purse. There had been a
great increase in Ihe amount cf money voted for the ob-
jects to which his motion referred during the last few years,
and in 1861-62 it was no less than £221,855. For the last
14 years the whole amount voted was £2,266,700,
and a considerable portion of this amount was
applied to purposes over which the house could exercise no
control. He contended that it was essential to the public
interest that such control should be vested in a body re-
sponsible to that house. He alluded to the British Museum,
which he described as being in a crumbling condition,
the National Gallery, and other institutions, which
displayed a most unsatisfactory state of things, and showed
the necessity for their supervision by a body who would be
responsible for their acts. He went in detail through the
different commissions that had reported on this subject, to
show particularly that a reform in regard to the
British Museum was necessary. He contended also
that the British Museum was not conducted in
conformity with the expressed wishes of the house on pre-
vious occasions. In support of this statement, he adverted
to different debates which had taken place when the esti-
mates were under discussion. It had been said that they
ought not to interfere with the trustees of the institution,
but it was the first time that Parliament had been squeamish
about vested rights when public interest was concerned. He
analysed the constitution of the board of trustees, ex officio
and otherwise, to show that an alteration of a very sweep-
ing character should be introduced in order to render this
board efficient. With respect to the family trustees, he
said they were a most mysterious and anomalous body, for
they were appoin, ed custodians of the property which the
ancestors or relatives had sold to the country. (Laughter.)

Mr. Sargood supported.—This was the third application.
The bankrupt had been connected in business with his
brother, Thomas George Rider, who has absconded and
been declared bankrupt, and in the belief that the above
bankrupt (A. W. Rider) was about to leave this country a
writ of capias was issued, on which he was arrested and
lodged in the Queen's Bench Prison. The first application
was refused, as proper notices had not been served, and
on the last occasion his Honour intimated that he would
not grant a release unless the bankrupt gave security.
Mr. Brandon, Essex-street, appeared for the assignees,
and took objection that as the bankrupt was in custody
under an order of the Court of Queen's Bench to give bail
the Court had no jurisdiction.

His Honour held that the objection was good, and said
that the bankrupt must apply to the Court above.
The bankrupt was thereupon taken back to the Queen's
Bench prison, until released by the court above, or obtains
his discharge under the proceedings against him in bank-
ruptcy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

Charlotte Marsh, an elderly woman, was charged with
obtaining a situation by means of a false character.
Mr. Jas. Russell Williams said— I am a lodging house-
keeper, and reside at 14, Arundel-street, Strand. On the
26th of February I answered an advertisement for a cook,
being in want of a person in that capacity in my establish-
ment, and on the fallowing day the prisoner presented her-
self to me. I enquired of her where she had last been
in service, and she said at No. 28,Stratford-place, Camden-
town, in the family of a gentleman named Saws. She said
she had resided there about a year and nine months, and
that she left in consequence of a quarrel she had with
one of the four servants that were kept by Mr. Saws.
I told her I should want a reference, and she said she would
go and see her late master and get permission for me to
call. The prisoner then left, and the following morning
she came to my house and told me her master was away
from borne, and, as her mistress was uncertain, the gentle-
man hal written her a letter, which she handed to me. It
was dated 28, Stratford-place, and signed "Chas. Saws."
The letter was here read; it stated that Charlotte Marsh
was an industrious, sober, and honest person, and also that
she was a good cook. In consequence of that letter
I engaged with the prisoner to enter my ser-
vice at £l6 per annum ; but in about a fort-
night or so after I found that the consumption of
articles increased to an enormous extent. I became sus-
picious of the prisoner, and I began to search the place,
when I found large quantities of butter, pickles, jam, and
other articles secreted about—

Mr. Corrie—You had better confine yourself at present
to the charge against the prisoner, and not go into that of
larceny. Did you send to Stratford-place P
Witness—Yes, your worship.
James Jones, manager to the last witness, said—l went
by my employer's direction to 28, Stratford-place, and
found a lady re siding there named Saws.
Mr. Corrie—ls she here ?

Witness—No, your worship. The prisoner has admitted
that she had never lived at Stratford-place.
Mr. Corrie—l don't know that the letter you produce
was not written by Mr. Saws. You must have the lady
and gentleman here.

Prisoner—l have a right to a character from Mrs. Saws.
I lived in her mother's service, and also in her's for three
days.

The prisoner was remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AIMATILT ON A WlFE.—Lawrence Sullivan, a labouring
man, was charged with assaulting his wife as follows :
Tbe wife said her husband, whom she had not seen for
eight weeks, he leaving her to take care of the children,
came into her room, and, 'without saying a word, rushed at
her and struck her on the forehead, which bled very much.
She made her escape from the room, and had her head
dressed.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said she
could not say whether her husband had anything in his
hand. She had been separated from him for six months.
She believed if it had not been for her father she would
have been killed.

A constable said the complainant was bleeding on the
forehead. The prisoner told • him he did not know that he
had struck his wife at all, as he was drunk.
Prisoner said he might have shoved his wife.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined him 405., or a month.
John Hartnett, who has before been in custody, was
charged by Drascovich, 197 C, with stealing a large piece
of cheese from the shop of Mr. Wm. Webb, of 440, Oxford-
street.
He was remanded,
