UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN.

Mr. FAGAN gave notice that this day fortnight he
should move for leave to bring in a bill to improve and
extend the University of Dublin.
BALTIC FLEET.
Colonel HERBERT asked the First Lord of the Ad,
miralty whether an official notice in the Times of Satur-
day, relative to the rate of postage of letters for oficera
of the Baltic fleet, is correct ; and, if so, whether Go-
vernment are prepared to reduce such charge when the
mails are conveyed in her Majesty's ships of war com-
missioned as such.
Sir J. GRAHAM said the subject was now under
consideration, and he was in hopes that a considerable
reduction would be made in the postage.
TROOPS FOR THE EAST.
Colonel BLAIR asked the Prst Lord of the Admiralty
whether there is any foundation for the report which has
appeared in the public journals, stating that a gross
fraud has been practiced in the forage contract for
horses going to the East ; and if it be true, whether the
Government have any power to inflict punishment on
the offending parties further than by the loss of their
cotract.

Sir J. GRAHAM said such a fraud was attempted
but not completed.
Colonel BLAIR asked if the party guilty of the at-
tempt would be punished.
Sir J. GRAHAM said the Government had no power
to punish beyond cancelling the contract.

TOWN AND COUNTY POLICE.
Mr. FITZROY gave notice that on an early day the
noble lord at the head of the Home Department would
move for leave to bring in a bill to improve the system
of police in the counties and boroughs of England and
Wales.

MILITARY KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR.
Mr. GRENFELL moved an address to her Majesty,
that she will be graciously pleased forthwith to direct
the Lieutenant and Chancellor of the Most Noble Mili-
tary Order of St. George and the Garter to take the
necessary steps for the due appropriation of the rents
and profits, called "The New Dotation, 'granted by the
three existing Crown grants of the 4th day of August,
1547, the 7th day of Oct., 1547, and the 30th day of Aug.,
1559, for the maintenance and other exigencies of the
Military Knights of Windsor, as established by the two
acts of Parliament 39th and 40th Elizabeth, c. 9, and
Ist James, c. 31, and further established by the act 3d
and 4th Vic., c. 113. The Dean and Chapter of Wind-
sor held these lands in trust for the Military Knights,
but, instead of appropriating the whole of the rents to
the use of the Military Knights, they simply paid them
ls. a day each, and applied the rest to their own private
purposes. Now that was most unjust, and he therefore
called upon the house to take the step that he proposed
for investigating the claims of the military knights
which were based upon a deed bearing date the 4tti of
August; 1547. These clauses had been recognised by
the highest lawyers of the day, and be trusted the house
would not refuse to grant an immediate inquiry into the
subject.

kr. FITZROY said he had requested the hon. m em-
ber to postpone his motion in consequence of the absence
of his noble friend (Lord Palmerston) from indisposi-
tion. As the hon. member had not done so, he mus t
ask the house to support him in moving for the adjourn-
ment of the debate.
