NEW MEMBER,

Mr. BRISSEY took the oaths and his seat for Devon-
port in the room of Sir A. Buller, resigned. He was
introduced by Mr. Jackson and Col. White.
POOR-LAW BOARD CONTINUANCE, &c. BILL.
On the order for the committal of this re-committed bill,
Lord FERMOY denounced it as a sham, and moved as
an amendment that the bill should simply limit the con-
tinuance of the powers of the Poor-law Board for one
year.
Mr. H. LEWIS seconded the amendment.
The SPEAKER reminded the noble lord that if he car-
ried the amendment it would negative the motion, that he
should leave the chair, and the house would not be able to
go into committee even for the purpose of continuance.
Sir B. BRIDGES, Sir J. SHELLY, Sir M. W. RIDLEY and
other members earnestly pressed upon the Government
that the bill should be simply a continuance bill.
Mr. VILLIERS defended the bill, which, he said, was
exactly what it prpfessed to be.
A long discussion followed, which resulted in the amend-
ment being withdrawn, the President of the Poor Law
Board, however, agreeing that the bill should be made a
continuance bill simply for a year, and the whole of the
other claims were, therefore, negatived.
The sitting was suspended at half-past three.
At six o'clock the house resumed, and was
[LEFT SITTING.]

under the care of Dr. Mackinlay, is now likely to recover.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Prince
Arthur, and attended by Col. Tyrwhitt," Aide-de-
camp to the Duke, and Major Elphinstone, R.A.,
Governor to Prince Arthur, went down to Woolwich
yesterday morning, and was present at the breaking
up of the Royal Military Academy. Their Royal
Highnesses entered the garrison at 11 o'clock, and
their arrival was announced by a Royal salute at
the Greenwich battery. Their Royal llighnesscs
were received by Major- G en. E. C.Warde, C. 8., and
staff, including the Hon. Col. Devereux, Col. Gard-
ner, Col. Anderson, Gen. Sir G. Pollock, Sir Peter
Brady, K.C.8., Sir G. Douglas, Bart., Major-Gen.
Wilford, and numerous other officers. They then
proceeded to the Academy grounds, where the
whole of the gentlemen cadets were paraded under
arms and performed a general salute, the full band
of the Royal Artillery playing " God Save the
Queen." The company was afterwards put
through a course of manual and platoon exe:cises by
Senior CadetsJacob,il Beresford, Arnott, and Buckle,
and they were executed in a manner to elicit the
Duke's repeated approbation. At the conclusion
the Prince and staff proceeded to one of the class
rooms, and inspected the landscape and other draw-
ings, and attended a viva voce examination of the
German and French classes. The company was then
drawn up in double line at the principal entrance of
the establishment, where the Duke addressed the
cadets. He had previously heard the statement of
the Council of Military Education and the report
of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Academy. The
former was to the following effect :—His Royal
Highness having decided that one-third of the
cadets should receive commissions in the Royal
Engineers, and two-thirds in theßoyal Artillery, the
Council have recommended for appointment to the
Royal Engineers the 10 highest on the list who
are elected for that corps. The remaining gentle-
men cadets, with the exception of Mr. Denny,
whose failure the Council regret that it is their duty
to report, are recommended for commissions in the
Royal Artillery. The list of prizes was as follows
—To Mr. Jacob, for exemplary conduct and dis-
tinguished proficiency, &c., in first artillery, first
fortification, chemistry, and practical mathematics
(a regulation sword, the Pollock medal, and several
other prizes) ; to Mr. Nicholson, for second artil-
lery ; to Mr. Walker, for second fortification and
natural philosophy ; to Mr. Beresford, for first topo-
graphy ; to Mr. Arnott, for geology ; to Mr. Jekali,
for second topography ; to Mr. Crookenden, for first
French and first German ; to Mr. Christie, for se-
cond French ; to Mr. Rigg, for second German ; to
Mr. Stewart, for Hindustani ; to Mr. Seton, for first
mathematics and first practical geometry ; to Mr.
Haman, for second mathematics ; to the Hon. Mr.
Shore, for third fortification ; to Mr: Boyle, for se-
cond practical geometry ; to Mr. S. Buckle, for Arst
landscape ; and to Mr. Tillotson, for second land-
scape dra lying. His Royal Ilighness, in addressing
the cadets, referred to the pleasure it gave him in
awarding a number of prizes to Mr. Jacob, who, he
said, had well merited them by his superior energy
and application. The successful recipient, he added,
would, no doubt, distinguish himself in future life
as his uncle had done, who was now the respected
master of the Christ Church schools. He was
glad to find that the reports were so exceedingly
favourable throughout, and that the new regula-
tions which had been introddced tended to such
good results. The advantages which these regu-
lations conferred upon them, and which were com-
patible with their studies, were, he thought,
conducive to their general well-being and to the
discipline of the establishment. The irregularities
which had taken place at Sandhurst, he said, on ex-
amination he had found to proceed from careless-
ness more than from intention, and that when young
cadets entered the establishment and subscribed to
.the regulations they fully intended to fulfil their
obligations. From a want of energy they some-
times fell away from their duty. He was glad that
in their contest with Sandhurst the other day at
cricket they had come off victors, and he hoped
they would do the like next year. He ventured to
say that from the result it would be morally impos-
sible they could be beaten next year, unless Sand-
hurst succeeded in making any extraordinary pro-
gress. They had, he said, a number of recreations
which had been recently granted to the Academy,
and which met with his entire approbation. They
were now allowed to smoke. Excess, he told them,
even in that privilege would be injurious. It was
not the use but the abuse of tobacco which he wished
to discourage. He would leave that, he said, to
their own good judgment and that of their officers,
who would guide them for their good, and to their
discretion, and he was sure they would not wilfully
run riot. In conclusion, he wished thenra happy
period of recreation.
The Medea, paddle sloop, Commander D'Arcy
S. Preston, was paid out of commission yesterday at
Portsmouth, after being dismantled and cleared of
stores on return to England from service on the
West India and North American station.

The sailing ship Middlesex, Commander Cammall,
R.N.R., belonging to Mr. Geo. Marshall, of London,
embarked yesterday alongside Portsmouth dockyard
detachments of troops to join service companies of
various corps in India, and will sail from Spithead
for Calcutta this morning.
