AFFAIRS OF JERSEY.

Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from Mr, Le
Gras, of Jersey, praying that an inquiry be made
into the institutions of that island, with the object of
affording a remedy. He would on Monday move that the peti-
tion be printed with the votes.
KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR.

Mr. HUME presented a petition from ten of the Knights of
Windsor, complaining of the withholding certain property
willed to them by Henry the Eighth, and that they only re-
ceived a shilling a day.
VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.

Mr. HUME moved that the petition of the Free Colonists
of Van Dieman's Land (prevented: August 6) be printed
with the votes. His doing so was preparatory to his bringing
the subject of the petitioners under the considerVion of the
House.—Agreed to.
NEWSPAPERS.

Dr. BOSVRING gave notice that he would move for the
Newspaper Stamps return.
WELLINGTON STATUE.

Mr. C. BERKELEY said, that he had received a note
from the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Woods and Forests,
desiring that he would postpone his motion respecting the
Wellington statue. Now he would not do so unless the Noble
Lord gave a good and valid reason why he should do so. The
Noble Lord had said that he had received a letter from
her Majesty stating what were her feelings upon the
subject; and he wished to know whether her Majesty, of her
own free will had expressed an opinion upon the subject? If
such were the case, he would not interfere any further ; but if
the contrary were the case, he conceived the House ought to
give her Majesty better advice.
Lord MORPETH said he would inform the House of the
exact state of the matter. After he had received her Ma-
jesty's letter, he, received one from the sub-committee of the
Wellington Committee, informing him that they had an im-
portant communication to make, and they 'requested that he
(Lord Morpeth) would not give an answer until they were able
to lay it before him. He hoped that the Hon. Member would
consider that a good, valid, and sufficient reason.

Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY said he wishe t to know if the
Noble Lord had any objection to lay the correspondence which
passed between him and the sub-committee on the table of
the House.

Lord MORPETII—I shall have no objection to do so after I
have made my answer to the House.
RAJAH OF SATTARA.

Mr. HUME said he was anxious to withdraw the notice
which was on the paper to the following effect, :—" That an
humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she
will be graciously pleased to order, that an inquiry be forthwith
instituted, by the Supreme Government of India, into the cir-
cumstances connected with the disposal of Pertaub Sing,
Raja of Sattara ; and that that Prince, now an
exile, and a state prisoner at Benares, be afforded the oppor-
tunity of answering the charges brought against him by the
Bombay Government, and that these proceedings be so con-
ducted as to secure to:his Highness, the deposed Raja, the
benefit of a fair and impartial investigation, conducted in his
presence, or before his agent."
The notice was accordingly withdrawn.
NEW BILLS.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
begged leave to give notice that he would, to-morrow,
ask leave to -introduce several Bills.—(Laughter, and cries
of 4, oh, oh !") The first would be a Bill to regulate
the naval expenditure and the naval and military departments.
The next would be a Bill to grant a limited sum out of
the Consolidated Fund, for the purpose of affording
employment to the poor, by promoting public works in
England. The next would be a Bill to make a similar pro-
vision for the employment of the poor in Ireland. Ano-
ther would be a Bill to extend the powers of the Grand Jury of
Ireland with respect to public; works in Ireland. Ano-
ther would be to amend the Act of George 111., relative to °M-
isers of the House of Commons.
Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know whether her Majesty's
Government proposed to introduce any more new Bills during
the present session ?—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) The
present Government had, whilst they had been in office, dur-
ing the last few weeks, introduced more new Bills than the
late Government had during the first five months of this
session.—(Laughter.) It was quite impossible to give these
Bills any consideration.—( Hear, hear. )
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the
Bills of which he had given notice were but to provide for the
continuance of old Acts which had been introduced by the late
Government, with the exception of the Act in reference to
public works in Ireland.
IRISH ARMS BILL. _

Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE said that he had no wish
in proiosing the question which he was about to
put, to embarrass the Government. A great many
Irish Members had already left town, but since the intimation
that had been given of the intention of the Government to
propose a continuance of the Irish Arms Bill, some of them
were now on their way back to London. It would greatly
expedite public business, therefore, if the Noble Lord at th
head of the Government stated frankly whether or not it was
the intention of the Government to revive the Bill in question?
Mr. L ABOUCHERE said that it would, perhaps, be
more convenient for him to answer the question of the
Hon. Member. After bestowing the most serious
deliberation on the measure in question, he had come to
the conclusion that there was much in the Irish Arms
Billthat was most exceptionable (Hear, hear)
while there was much in it, on the other
hand that was calculated to do much good. It was the intention
of the Government, then, to extract from that Bill all
that was objectionable, and retain and propose for the ap.
proval of the Legislature as much as appeared to be useful.
The Government found when they came to consider the sub-
ject of the Bill, they found the provisions mixed up and com-
plicated, that it would be impossible for them without the
greatest consideration, to frame an amended measure on the
subject. The present Bill was a continuance Bill,
it was true, but by the provisions of the Act
it would expire on the Ist of May and thus
a pledge and security would be given to the House
that the subject would be then placed in the hands of the
House, and brought under its consideration. The Govern-
ment had bestowed the beat attention they could upon the Bill,
and it was their opinion that the proposed course was the best
course which could be adopted under the present circumstances.
With regard to the measures which had been introduced to
the House, nothing would have been more desirable than to
obviate the inconvenience which it was proposed to save by this
Bill. There were several objections which he enter-
tained to this Bill, which he had most reluctantly
introduced to the House, but he hoped to ob-
viate those objections by introducing early next session
a Bill on behalf of Government, which would prevent the
evils which he anticipated from the Bill in its present shape.
ORANGE LODGES.

On the order of the day for going into a committee for
supply being read,
Mr. HUME begged to ask a question respecting the Orange
lodges in Ireland, which had been stated by her Majesty's
Government as dangerous to the public peace. He saw
by the papers that those lodges had been revived
in that country, and he wished to know whether any measures
had been taken to prevent the revival of these lodges, and for
the support of the public peace.
Mr. LABOUCHERE was aware that this system of Orange
lodges was dangerous to the public peace in Ireland, but his
Hen. Friend whose duty it was to take this business under his
care was not in the House, and he could not therefore himself
answer the question, but he might say that they were now
under the consideration of Government.
LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
In reply to an inquiry from Mr. OSBORNE, as to when
the Lunatic Aylums Bill would be brought on,
Mr. LABOUCHERE stated, this not eing in his depart-
ment, he could nut reply, but would ascbertain, and let the
Hon. Member know.
'ABOLITION OF EXCLUSIVE TRADING.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBF: said that he had presented a petition
on this subject from an individual, who was now in waiting in
great anxiety. The Right Hon. Member for Dungarvon (Mr.
Sheil) had a motion on the paper for to-night, but as it might be
postponed, he wished to know whether it was the intention to
maintain the prieeiples of the Bill ? An endeavour had been
made to abolish the privileges obtained by certain parties ; but
unless it could be shown that they had abused those privileges,
he (Mr. Duncombe) thought they ought not to be abolished.
If they were abolished, it would be but just to institute a Com-
mittee of Inquiry to ascertain whether the
thy h ad abused
they had
their
privileges before they were deped of e rights
attained.
Mr. LABOUCHERE did not blame the Honourable Mem •
ber for the inquiry that bad been made, which was probably
rendered necessary by the misapprehension that existed with
regard to the Bill that had b-en brought in by the late Secre-
tary for Ireland with respect to the corporations of Ireland
He confessed that the privileges that existed at present ap-
' eared to him perfectly unnecessary, and not to be justified.

On the bringing up of the report on the Sugar Duties,
Mr. BERNAL said that he did not wish to say anything
against the reduction of the duty on the article of rum, even if
that came before the House, but with respect to that portion
of the measure with which he was connected, ho would submit
that any new regulations which might be framed should be
considered as early.is possible, in order to command a discus-
sion in the House.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it
had been his duty to give notice that in the course of going
into Committee on the Customs' duty, he would propr•se a
reduction of the duty on rum, to the extent of 6d. a gallon.
Mr. PROTHEROE said that he would'take that oportunity
of asking the Secretary to the Treasury a question with regard
to grievances now existing in the Post-office. His Hon.
Friend the Member for Finsbury had presented a petition that
evening from Thomas Mitchell, a sub• sorter in the Post-
office.—(Cries of " Order, order.") Amidst which the Hon.
Member sat down.

Mr. HUME must say that the speech of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer was very unsatisfactory. He understood from
him, and from the Noble Lord, that something was to be done,
and it now turned out that something is to be done, but it is
open to discussion. Those who ha.l agreed to this Bill, agreed
to it under the positive declaration of her Majesty's Govern-
ment, that they should be prepared to carry out, as soon as
possible, measures to relieve those duties, and to put the im-
ports from the colonies in the same position as those from other
countries.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he
was not aware that he had in the slightest degree altered what
he said before. His Hon. Friend knew perfectly well that
what he had said before was to be perfectly adhered to. What
he had said before, he then repeated.
Mr. HUM E—What did you say before?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (as we un-
derstood) said that he had before proposed that ally alteration
in duties which the colonies themselves should suggest, should
be agreed to by her Majesty.
The report was then received, and the Bill ordered to be
read a third time at twelve o'clock to-morrow.
Lord J. RUSSELL said—Sir, in rising to move the order of
the day for going into Committee of Supply, I will answer those
inquiries which have been made by those Members with respect to
corporal punishment, and in so doing, I can only generally state
what is to be done by the Commander-in-Chief of the army;
and before I do so, I beg to state that I wish neither to have
the credit of suggesting any alteration which the Commander-
in-Chief has thought proper to make, nor do I wish on the
other hand to shrink from any responsibility with
regard to the limit at which the Commander-in-Chief has
stopped, and has determined not to comply with what appears
to be the wish amongst some—that there should be a total
abolition of corporal punishment. I say, therefore, that the
plan which has been at present adopted, is the plan of
the Duke of Wellington, and one which he has deter-
mined on. He thinks, as matters stand at pre-
sent, corporal punishment ought not to be abolished.
I have a paper here which shows what are the present regula-
tions with respect to corporal punishment. By the articles of
war nooffender convicted before a general court-martial should be
liable to be sentenced to receive corporal punishment not exceed-
ing 200 lashes ; before a garrison court-martial not exceeding
150 lashes, or before a regimental court-martial not more than
100 lashes. Now, the Duke of Wellington having taken this
subject into his consideration, has given directions to the
officers to whom the duty appertains of ordering such
corporal punishment, that by no court-martial of
any kind, whether general, district, garrison, or regimental,
shall any greater punishment be inflicted than fifty lashes.—
(Cheers)—a very considerable diminution, which the Com-
mander-in-chief has ordered with respect to the army. He
has, at the same time, given special directions that every
precaution should be taken in order to ascertain
the state of any offender who may be sentenced
to receive corporal punishment, that his health is such,
that he appears in so robust a state of health, as to be able
to bear the punishment. He has likewise directed that every
other circumstance should be attended to—whether the extreme
heat of the weather, or any severity in the state of the
weather, or any other circumstances whatever which
might make the infliction of such punishment dangerous to the
offender condemned to receive it. Such then are the
directions, which have been given by the Commander-
irk-Chief, applying directly to capital punishment. Now,
sir, I know that my Hon. Friend, the Member for
Dublin (Dr. Bowring had given notice for that purpose,
that corporal punishment should be at once totally abo-
lished.—(Hear, hear.) I think every one must desire, and I
am sure the Government desire, that it may be possible to
keep the army in a right state of discipline without the
infliction of any corporal punishment whatever.—
( Cheers. ) I should be glad for my own part to
see :that day when corporal punishment shall be
entirely abolished,—(Renewed cheers.) But, Sir, I do think
that the maintenance of discipline in the army is a paramount
object.—(Hear.) I consider that a well disciplined soldiery
is a protection to the country to which they belong—a terror to
the enemy which they have to meet, and that an ill
disciplined soldiery, is, on the other hand, a terror to the com-
pany to which they belong, and a acorn to the enemy they have
to encounter.—( Hear, hear.) I therefore consider that the
Duke of Wellington is perfectly right in making the
present reduction which he has made without taking any
ulterior steps, because if we are to look for the abolition of
corporal punishment, and at the same time to the maietenance
of discipline, which I think I perceive this House feels as highly
as I myself have just stated it—( Hear, hear)—it is only by two
modes that it can be effected. The one is that we should be
able to ascertain that there is some mode of punishment which
is more effective than the one hitherto adopted.— (Hear, hear.)
The one is by substituting some other mode of punishment for
effecting a higher state of discipline than the one hitherto in
operation ; and the other is, by so ehanging the moral foeling of
those belonging to the army, that other =dives hod other
modes of Government would have greater effect in influencing
their conduct than those now employed.—(Hear, hear.)
To both these objects have the attention of those
connected with the management of the army been
from time to time directed. The commanding officers
of the army have had the subject under their consideration—
both Lord Hill and the Duke of Wellington. The various
Secretaries at War have also had their attention called to the
question—Lord Howiek, Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Sidney Herbert,
and 'the present Right Hon. Gentleman who occupies that
office. With respect to other kinds of punishment, the
subject was fully considered by the Commission which
sat on the question in 1835. Different modes were
then suggested both with regard to military
prisons and solitary confinement. For great advances
have since then been made in carrying out the recommenda-
tion of that Commission. A considerable number of prisons
have been constructed, others are in progress ; besides, altera-
tions in several prisons are proposed, in order to make them
available for the purposes suggested. But as yet the system is
not in complete operation. I have in my posse mien several ac-
counts of the new prisons in progress, in order to give effect to
punishment by means of imprisonment. New prisons are
erecting in Dublin and Cork. In Canada the military prisons
are in progress, but as yet they are not in a complete state.
In Gibralter and the lonian Islands new prisons are to be con-
structed. For Nova Scotia plans for a new prison have been
submitted, and for the West Indies the officers of the army
have the subject under consideration with the object of erect-
ing a prison, so far the suggestions of the commissioners have
been carried into effect. With regard to cells for the purpose
of short terms of imprisonment the subject has been under the
consideration of an old friend of mine ; and he has proposed a
plan upon the subject. The late Government had also en-
gaged the services of Major Jeff on this subject. A number of
cells have been constructed, the result of these deliberations,
but the system is in its greatest features as yet but new, and
hut partially introducec. With regard to the extent
to which corporal punishment has been carried
out, I am happy to be enabled to say that
this mode of punishment has been considerably diminished of
late, in consequence of other modes of punishment being car-
ried into effebt. The returns I have in my possession will
show the extent to which this diminution has taken place.
The returns are from 1838 till now :

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN THE ARMY IN PROPORTION TO

THE WHOLE OF THE FORCE-
In 1838 1 in 108 In 1842 1 in 140
In 1839 1 in 122 In 1843 1 in 194
In 1840 1 in 129 In 1844 1 in 194
In 1841 1 in 126 In 1845 1 in 189
The ratio, therefore, was, that about one man in every 190
receives corporal punishment in the course of the year. Now,
if any one can consider and reflect what was the state of
corporal punishment in the army formerly, they cannot but
perceive that the number of persons receiving punishment, and
that even the number of lashes, has been greatly diminished.
With regard to the second mode which I have stated, by which
corporal punishment may be reduced, and may at length altogether
be abolished in practice, is by the improvement of the moral
condition of the soldier, and making him fear the commission
of an offence more than the reflection of the punishment—
(Hear, hear)—and in the first place a great number of changes
have taken place of late years with this object in view. A
great number of rewards have been distributed for good con-
duct, and more frequent commissions in the army have been
bestowed upon private soldiers between the 31st of December
and the present time, no less than thirteen commissions
have Leen given to private soldiers.—( Hear, hear.) With re-
spect to the improvement of their minds, my Noble Friend
slated the pains which had been taken to establish libraries in
the United Kingdom. No less than 500 libraries have been
established, containing no less than 60,000 volumes. The
late Secretary of War was the proposer of this plan, and an
excellent one it is; and I consider that the effect
of such institutions libraries, containing well-selected
works must have a most beneficial effect upon young men
going into the army. When I was at the head of the Chelsea
establishment, I found that the men were constantly at the
public houses, and I therefore proposed that they should have
certain small gardens allotted upon which they could employ
themselves. I have jnst heard that the plan has proved most
successful, yet when I proposed the plan I was told that I did
not understand the character of the British soldier, and it was
prophecied that the plan would never succeed.—(Hear, hear.)
Why, if you encourage the soldier in idleness they alway would
be idle, while, if you give him sources of occupation
and amusement, you will find that he becomes a better
soldier and a more contented man.--(Hear.) At the same
time that I was at the head of the Chelsea establish-
ment. I advocated the establishment of savings' banks, bet
the officers of the army strongly objected to it, and in one in•
stance returned the money deposited in one of the banks, with
an intimation that it might be spent as. the owners thought
proper. At present, however, he was glad to say there was
a strong disposition of encouraging soldiers to deposit
their money in savings' banks.—( Hear, hear.) So that
subject has occupied the attention of Government and the
Commander for a day or a week, with a view of devising
some great plan upon the subject, and it will continue
to occupy the attention of those connected with
the Government with the view of maintaining discipline in
the army, and at the same time diminishing, as far as pos-
possible, the necessity for corporal punishment.—(Hear.
Sir, I trust I have now said enough to induce my Honourable
Friend the Member for Bolton to postpone his motion,
of which he has given notice—(Dr. Bowring shook his
head.) I am sorry to see that he makes a sign that
he does not assent to my proposal, and I must
therefore go on to make one or two statements with regard
to this subject which I think merit the attention of the
House. In the early part of 1835, there was a Commission ap-
pointed upon this subject. It consisted of Lord Wharneliffe,
Lord Sandon. Sir H. J. Heath, Mr. Tufnell, Colonel Bar, and
Sir John Ross. This Commission, after examinine-
a great many witnesses from the highest officers down to the
private in the guards, came to the conclusion that corporal
punishment could not be abolished immediately.—( Hear. )
The fourth resolution is, that even supposing that some
effectual substitute might be devised, it is not desirable that
it should be entirely abolished. Such is the opinion given by
men of considerable authority, and men who were Members of
that Committee, some of them military authorities and of consi-
derable military repute. Sir, a number of military authorities have
proceeded upon that opinion, to endeavour as much as pos-
sible to reduce the amount of corporal punishment— II
bear)—and to substitute other punshments in its !I ear'ace
(Hear, hear.) I consider that this House oughtn.o—t,
at the end of a session, suddenly to proposa of some
occasion that would particularly warrant a material alteration
of the law—that this House ought not in the end of
I say, to carry any resolution by which thewholae sseysssitoem
n,
of military dicipline would be altered—(llear, hear)
and the confidence of the army in general, both of
those military authorities which are
placed O
over them
and of the soldiers, and people would be materially
shaken.—(Hear, heer.) r cannot b ut think,
, even if my
g an. Friend pommel no confidence in the designs, and do.
