The Earl of CLARENDON said that the Govern-

forward a measure for the surrender of criminals in ac-
cordance with the convention which had been signed
With the French Government. He acknowledged the
IrePortance of the subject, but the practical difficulties
Which surrounded.the attainment of the object in view
rendered it impossible for him to give any pledge on the
alfbject.
Ac Earl of MALMESBURY thought that the diffi-

Per j

Mr. Webster , and
„!eCioently he begged to ask whether the noble earl,
ho'onsistent with the public service, would inform the
use of what had taken place since the period he had
da
erntered office, how the negotiations now stood, and how
nt they were advanced ? If they were not likely to
41v to a conclusion speedily, considering they were

Wnild also ask, whether it was the intention of her
iesty's Government to continue the protection to the
colonial fishermen, especially as regarded the inshore
Government
in the same manner as ordered by the late

The Earl of CLARENDON said he had

,_Blla nee of the desire expressed by the President of the
United States, had entered into negotiations at Wash-

Placing on a better state the commercial relations be-
tween this country and the United States. Mr. Cramp-
ton had received the most cordial assurances from the
President of the United States and from the Secretary of
State, of aareement in the order which had been
taken by her Majesty's Government ; and their belief
that a convention might be concluded on satisfactory
terms ; and, at their request, Mr. Crampton had pre-
Pared the project of a convention, on which some diffi-

S43;(l.Ffe would ask, why was the suitor in Chancery to
heir aced on a footing different to that of ordinary
trti„,ere of stocks? In the case of property vested in
tie7es for the benefit of a family, the right hon. gen-
%Zan, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, did not give
as he the option of accepting his terms or not, the same
proo,,ga,ve to other stockholders. He also thought the
're.,,-"at of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with re-
the 'to to the legacy duty would operate unfairly upon

towards the removal of the complaints of the district

grievances contained in the petitions of the provincial

Mr. WILSON said he was glad to inform his hon.

circular to the different postmasters throughout the
country withdrawir 3. the prohibition issued last year
respecting Christmas-boxes. WWI regard to the ques-
tion of superannuation allowance, a new and more just
system hail been prepared by the Postmaster-General,
and he was now ready to send it to the Treasury for
its approval. As to the unequal pay of letter-carriers,
the Postmaster-General had come to the conclusion that
equality of payment throughout the country was im-
possible, but he had received numerous applications for
increase of pay in individual cases, and wherever he had
found that the complaints were justly founded, he had
given an increase_ of pay.
BARNSTAPLE ELECTION.

Mr. 0. STANLEY reported that this committee had
determined that Sir W. Frazer and Mr. Bremridge were
not duly elected for Barnstaple at last election. (The
resolution of the committee has already appeared in The
Sun). On the motion of the honourable member, the
evidence taken before the committee was ordered
to be laid on the table. He also gave notice that he
would move the suspension of the writ for six weeks.
and also for the appointing of a commission to inquire
into the corrupt practices at the last and previous elec-
tions. He likewise gave notice that, when the evidence
was in the hands of members, he would call the atten-
tion of the house to particular circumstances which took
place at the last election, with a view to further measures
being taken.
COMMISSIONS IN THE MILITIA.
- -

Colonel LINDSAY asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department if the clerks of the peace in
counties had any legal right, or had any authority from
the Government, for charging the officers of militia with
fees, either on appointment or promotion ; and if it was
the intention of the Government to take any steps to
prevent a continuance of this practice for the future ?
Lord PALMERSTON said he was not aware of any
law by which they were entitled to levy these fees, but
the Government had no power to interfere in the matter
it being one entirely under the control of the lord lieu-
tenants of counties. The Secretary at War and himself
had, however, turned the question over, and they were
endeavouring to get rid of these varying and, in some
instances, exorbitant charges.
In reply to Sir G. PECHELL, who wished to know
whether, in addition to the ordinary force of militia in
Sussex, there was about to be raised by the Govern-
ment a corps of artillery of 500 ?
Lord PALMERSTON said no addition was intended
to be made to the quota of militia already fixed for each
county, but the Crown had power to train the militia in
such a manner as might be ',thought necessary for the
public service, and it would be very desirable to train
them, in maritime counties, to the use of great guns.
