THE CITY OF BOSTON.

Rumours are again current in the west of Ireland of
some disabled ship, supposed to be the City of Boston.
The story is a very dubious one : it is to the effect that a
vessel has been seen passing Kilkee, county Clare. The
Messrs. Inman know nothing of this disabled vessel, and
they are trying hard to discover the fcundation of the
rumour.

Her Majesty, accompanied by their Royal High-
neeses Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess
Beatrice, and attended by the Royal suite, -will leave
Windsor Castle for the Isle of Wight on Friday next.
Mr. Disraeli intends to visit Perth in. the Easter
vacation.

FLORENCE, April 3, Eirening.

Signor Minghetti has proposed the appointment of
four Committees instead of one to examine, the
financial bills of the Government. ;

This proposal has been accepted by -the Ministry,
and the Chamber of Deputies in to,day's sitting
voted its adoption by 168 against 112 votes.

SPAIN.

MADRID, April 2.

Much excitement and astonishment was caused
this afternoon in the Cortes by the Deputy Sunar
Capdeviella coolly entering and assuming his former
sea.. It had been supposed that he was in France
or Naples, whi.her he had fled on the, failurb of the
late Republican insurrection, in which he was a
leader, and in his absence had been condemned
to death by a Council of War. Senors Figueras,
Caatellar, and several others tried to per-
suade him to retire, but he firmly refused. Ulti-
mately he left in a coach about seven, o'clock,
according to some statements for Gerona, to be
delivered over to the military tribunal which s •n-
-tenc3d him ; but other reports are tc the effect that
he left for the frontier, to be allowed to escape. The
general impression is that he is insane.
MADRID, April 3 (Evening).

A Cabinet Council has been held to-day to Con-
sider the question of the crisis, but the Ministers
separated without arriving at any decision. They
will, however, hold another council this evening.
The majority of the Cortes will likewise hold a
meeting, the probable result of which may be a vote
of confidence in Senor Echegaray, the Minister of
Public Instruction, who, it was rumoured, was about
to resign his office.

It is asserted that the formation of two Parlia-
mentary factions has been accomplished in the Cortes,
the one composed of Unionists and the other of Pro-

gressists.

Senor Sunar Capdevilla is reported to have re
,urned to France.

Advices received from the provinces relative to the
drawing of the lots for military service do not report
any serious disorier. At Bejar, however, sixty
young men left the town after the drawing, protest-
ing agiiust the proceedings.
London, England, 1870-04-04

GENERAL GREY.

The late General Grey's political career dates well-
nigh forty years back. He entered the House of
Commons as M.P. for Wycombe, where he was un-
successfully opposed by Mr. Disraeli. The
same distinguished politician again opposed
the General at the same town in 1832.
The Daily News points • out the other
competitors for political honours with Mr. Disraeli
who have been removed by death. Lord Taunton, by
whom he was defeated in 1835, died a few months
ago. His colleague in the representation of Maid-
atone, Mr. Wyndham Lewis,. died more than thirty
years ago, and his widow is now the Viscountess
Beaconsfield. Mr. Tomline, however, with whom
Mr. Disraeli sat for Shrewsbury during six years, is
still in the House of Commons as member for Great
Grimsby.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.
Referring to the hint that the Government intend
to concede half-penny stamps for printed matter,
the Spectator asks another favour in the shape of
removing the useless rule which forbids a stamped
newspaper to be sent by post to any house within
three miles of the General Post-office. The regula-
tion produces no revenue, has no visible meaning,
and is an intolerable nuisance.

THE CASE OF MAJOR-GENERAL GORDON.
The telegram from India relating to the suspension of
Major-General the Hon. A. G. Gordon 114.3 some light
thrown upon it by a paragraph in the Calcutta Englishman.
The Calcutta journal says that the Secretary of State for
India " has directed that a severe rebuke is to be ad-
ministered to Major-General the Hon. A. G. Gordon, at
present in command of a division in Bombay, for having
remonstrated with the Bombay. Government for not ad-
mitting him as a member of the Local Legislative Council
during the time he was officiating as Commander-in-Chief
at Bombay, before the arrival of Sir A. Spencer."

London, England, 1870-04-04

LEGAL TITLES.

The Solicitors' Journal has an article on the pro-
visions of the Appellate Jurisdiction Bill, now before
the House of Lords. It says that it is indeed very
desirable in a sentimental point of view that

the present apparently- heterogeneous congeries
of independent courts should give way to a simple
authority, and that the present infinitely perplexing
variety of practice should be, so far as it is consistent
with utility and convenience, systematised and
44 unified." It considers that it would be
better to abolish at once all the existing
distinctions of title among judges of equal
rank, and instead of Vice-Chancellor, Justice,
Baron, Judge of the Admiralty Court, &c., call every
such judge Mr. Justice So-and-so. It recommends
a similar abolition of the terms Chief Justice of
Common Pleas, Lord Chief Baron, and- Judge
Ordinary, and proposes to call the judges in question
Lard President Bovill, &c.
THE FENIAN PRESS.

The Nationalist newspapers are displaying some
little anxiety to preserve for Ireland the benefit of
their existence. The near approach of
the time when the Peace Preservation Bill,
with its vigorous provisions against seditious
newspapers, will be put into force, has decidedly had
the effect of moderating the tone of the latest effu-
sions. The Irishman says that each successive
Coercion Bill indicates a national step in advance, and
mildly rejoices that the Ministry have thrown off their
hypocrisy. The Weekly News and the Flaq of Ireland
content themselves with engravings directed against
the O'Donoghue. The Nation finds the first fruit of
the Coercion Bill in the motion for a select com-
mittee, to inquire intothe management of :con-
ventual and monastic institutions. It says that every
bigot in Great Britain. looks , on,

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

The sixth session of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning, before the Recorder of
London, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and
Sheriffs.
The learned Recorder, in charging the Grand Jury,
observed that he was not able to congratulate them,
as he had several preceding grand juries, on the
lightness of the calendar. There was only one
charge arising out of c.rcum tances affecting human
life— hat ag ins& James Ca'npkin, wh) was charged
with having feloniously caused the de WI of Philip
Ralph. There were two chargts cot,nec!ed with the
bankruptcy law—one against George Bransbury,
an I the other against a man n We.,ton. The
cha-ge against Dem Ario Pappa, the manager of the
Oliental Bank, was that of haying apple 1 cartain

money which came into his hand, to his own private
purposes. Pappa was manager of the batik from its
commencement, and conducted the greater part of
the correspondence, which be'no• with Greek hous.is
and the Levant was in Greek.' There were two
other charges against the prisoner of having misap-
propriated sums of £5OO and £BOO, and having de-
scribed the circumstances of th use transactions,
the learned Reorder dismissed the grand jury to
their labours.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(THis DAY).

MARLBOROUGH -S TREET.

Samuel Akers, a carman, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following assaults. Mrs.
Mary Reeves, of No. 107, Whitfield-street,
Tottenham court-road, said that between eleven and
twelve o'clock on Saturday night she was passing
through Russell-mews in company wilh her husband,
when the prisoner said, "What are you doing down
our mews h“sband asked the prisoner bow long
the mews had belonged to him, and the prisoner said,
"Do you know who this woman is ?" Her husband
said, " Yes, she is my wife," and the prisoner then
gave her a violent blow under the ear, knocking
her down, and while her husband was picking her up
the prisoner gave him a blow under theear. They
called police and gave the prisoner, who had been
drinking and was a stranger to them, into custody.
The prisoner pleaded intoxication as an excuse for
his conduct, but the magistrate sent tho prisoner for
21 days for the first assault and 10s. or seven days
for that committed on the husband.

TIIE STRIKE AT CREUSOT.

Affairs do not appear to be improving at Crensot. On
the afternoon of March 31 the chief engineer said he had
received a letter from some of the men, which he sup-
posed expressed their views, and that he was ready to dis-
cuss matters with them. A number of miners having
assembled, M. Bianzat, the chief engineer, explained that
no reduction had been made or was contemplated in their
wages, that it was not intended to deprive them of their
firing, and that their wages were higher than those of the
men employed in the neighbouring mines. Some of the
men replied that their wages were too low and that they
insisted on an increase, but M. Bianzat said that no such
increase was possible, owing to the state of trade. M.
Schneider, therefore, requested the malcontents to arrange
their accounts, and decided in favour of fresh workmen.
The Paris Journal states that considerable bodies of men
threatened to release the prisoners at Autun. It
is said that M. Schneider has secured a perma-
nent garrison of 1,000 men for his mines. The
men on strike who occupy houses belonging to the
company have received notice to quit immediately.
The strike is the more inopportune as M. Schneider has
just received an order for 136 locomotives, of which 116
are intended for the new Russian railways.

MR. BRIGHT AND THE MINISTRY.

Various rumours -have been set afloat that it is the
intention of Mr. Bright to resign the Presidency of the
Board of Trade, and to retire from the Government. The
Birmingham Daily Post has the best reason for saying
that no decision on the subject has been come to. Since
his residence at Brighton the right hon. gentleman's
health has considerably improved ; and though an
early return to parliamentary labours is not to be looked
for, yet Mr. Bright is again able to take an interest in
the grogT.ess_ of p4lic Affairs...)

PUTNEY, 5.30 p.m.

Both crews have been out this afternoon, the
Oxonians, under the care of Mr. F. Willan, as far as
Hammersmith, and the Cantabs, half an hour later,
under Mr. Geo. Morrison.

The Oxford crew went at racing pace, about 39
strokes per minute, and on the way home against the
last of the flood were eased several times, and ex-
hibited better form than ever ; the same too must
be said of their opponent 9, who rowed more leisurely
at about 36, their trainer evidently thinking they
were in capital trim without more hard work.
Cambridge partisans are very sanguine, and are
picking up all the 6 to 4 bets they can get hold of.
There will be no hard work to morrow, being the
day prior to the race.
Betting 6 to 4 and 11 to 8 on Oxford, taken freely.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
VIENNA, April 4.

The newspapers of this morning announce that the
entire Ministry have resigned on account of the re-
fus d of the Emperor to dissolve those provincial
Diets the Deputies from which have left the Reichs-
rath.

Count Potozki, the former Minister of Agriculture,
has been entrusted with the formation of a new
Cabinet.

THE LAW OF DISTRESS.

The law of distress in England has lasted long,
because on the whole it has been considerately used.
Occasionally, however, an exceptional landlord is very
harsh in his proceedings. At Kingston a case has been
tried which will teach such persons to be cautious. A.
gentleman at Clapham paid his last Midsummer's rent
on the 3rd of August, to his landlord's agent. The
landlord, in ignorance of the payment, put in a dis-
tress, and sent in a broker and his men. This
frightened the lady of the house, who was unwell,
and the landlord, on being remonstrated with,
gruffly replied, " How should I know that the
rent was paid ?" The tenant brought an action
against him for putting a broker's man into the,
house after the rent was paid, and the Court allowed
15 damages for the trespass, with costs. The heed-
less aggressor has thus had to pay for his incivility.

The 77t11 Regiralat.

A recent number of the Broad A crow contains the
fol'owing distinguished and a'ithoritative tribute to
the high tt te of discipline in this popular regiment,
with an especial eulogium by the Brigadier-G.ineral
to the Comm alder, Colonel Kent, and all the officers
under him :—"The 77th or East Middlesex.—At the
last advises the necessary arrangements to admit of
her Alajesty's 77th Regiment leaving Agra by rail on
the 18th ultimo, so as to arrive at Jubblepore cn the
21st, were being made. The voltinteers for the
2d Battalion of the 21st, the 45th, and the 76th,
were t 3 be sent down at once to the Presi-
dency; but the others would be detained at Agra till
the a• rival of the 88tb, when they would join their
respective corps. The 77th were to be located at
Deolalee, ready for embarkation in the ship Jumna
immediately on her return from Suez. The following
Br.gade Orders were issued on the occasion of the
departure of the Regiment from Agra : —"The 77th
Foot being about to leave Agra and proceed home,
Brigadier-General Stannus is desirous of recording
the high opinion he entertains of this excellent regi-
ment. Just one year has elapsed since the 77th ar-
rived at Agra, and during that period the Brigadier-
General has had every reason to be satisfied with its
well-organised system of discipline. No regiment
could have given less trouble than the 77th, and this
must primarily be attributed to the successful efforts
on the part of the commander and those under him to
make the duties of the soldiers as little irksome as
possibl3 in the trying climate of the plains of India.
I hose who have visited the regimental institutions
of the 77th must have observed the great pains that
have evidently been taken to contribute to tl!e com-
fort and happiness of the men, and from personal
observations the Brigadier-General can confidently
assert that the arrangements made with this end in
view, are unsurpassed by any regiment in the service.
The Lieut.-Governor of these provinces very recently
in a marked manner expressed his appreciation of the
regiment, and the Brigadier-General ndw assures
Colonel Kent and all under his command that they
have his best wishes in the future, and he firmly
believes that, constituted as it is at present, th: 77th
Regiment will continue to maintain, wherever it may
be located, the high character which acquired
for it so much popularity during its residence in
Agra.' "

THE AUSTRIAN REICHSRA.TH.

We learn by telegram from Vienna that the committee
on the Galician resolution, which has occasioned so much
excitement in the Reichsrath, has adopted the provi-
sionary electoral law submitted for its preliminary con-
sideration.
The New Free Press of Vienna, of April 1, states that
the Cabinet, having held a council on the
.sudden with-
drawal of the Polish deputies from the Reichsrath (since
followed by the retreat of the Istrians, Slovenes, and
Bakovians) have decided to request the Emperor to dis-
&Ave those Diets whose members have left the Reichsrath.
If the Emperor does not consent to adopt this course the
ministers will resign their office.

AN UNPRECEDENTED DIFFICtTLTY.

The difficulties raised with regard to the execution.
of the condemned murderer Rutherford, now lying
in Bury St. Edmund's gaol, present a very
strange feature. The surgeon of the gaol
has stated that any attempt to carry out
the last sentence of the law would
be attended by prolonged suffering, and might cause
a very unpleasant scene. The culprit was very
severely burnt when he was young, and the result is a
mal-formation of his neck. Much curiosity *ill await
the decision of the Home Secretary on the subject,
as ideas are suggested as to the probability of the
prisoner receiving a commutation of his sentence, and
also of the possibility of any other form of execution
being adopted in this particular instance.

MEDICAL EDUCATION

Dr. Paget, President of the Medical Council, sup-
ports some of the proposals for an improved
medical education, which are now under discussion.
"That a consolidation of medical examining
boards is nece:•sary is agreed on all hands. The
medical profession calls for it, the Medical Council
recommends it, the Government is preparing a mea- •
sure to enact it. Its beneficial results can scarcely
be overrated." But Dr. Paget complains that the
present system has been represented as worse
than it really is. It has been stated that the nineteen
licencing bodies do not resort to the practical test of
bringing the candidate to the bedside and asking him
to specify and explain the disease, The fact is that
thirteen of the nineteen bodies constantly apply this-
test, and, of the other six, two apply it partially, and
one confers its degrees only on medical practitioners
of some years' standing. •

The sentence that has to be passed by the
Court of Queen's Bench on Mr. Shimming
the proprietor cf a , Liverpool satirical jour-
nal, called the Porcupine, for a libel on.
Mr. James Fernie, the manager of the Merchants'
Trading Comp
inany, will settle a matter of importance
to all interested ships and shipowners. The case
arose out of the foundering of the Golden Fleece in
Cardiff Roads in September last. The vessel myste-
riously went down, quite suddenly, after havingtaken
on board a cargo of coals. The Board of Trade inquiry
resulted in a supposition that one of the coal ports in
the -vessel's side must have broken and admitted the
water to such an extent as to speedily swamp
her. The Porcupine, however, published an
article headed, " Marine Coal Scuttling," in
which, though no names were mentioned, it was
held by the prosecution that the defendant had.
insinuated that Mr. Fernie had deliberately over-
insured, and then scuttled the vessel. The defence
was that the matter was one of - general importance,
and that the article was not applicable to that indi-
vidual case. A verdict of " guilty" was obtained.

DRUNKENNESS IN THE ARMY.

Military affairs are just now of paramount interest,
and any cause which detracts from the efficiency of
our forces becomes a matter of national concern.
Soldiers have not generally a very good. character
for sobriety, but probably few are aware to what an
extent drunkenness really prevails in the army. The
fines in the Royal Artillery for the four quarters
ending March 1870, amounted to £927, in the cavalry
to £317, in the Guards to £242, and the total in the
Line to £8,491. The sum total of the various branches
reaches the immense aggregate of £10,426 in the
time specified, and for India, if the same proportion
is calculated, to £5,700. For India we have no
official returns, but unhappily the amount is likely,
from what we know of military habits in the tropics,
to be more rather than less. It remains to be con-
sideredh what shall be done with the large sum of
money tus annually collected, and the military com-
mittee appointed to determine the question
have arrived at a very wise conclusion.
They would distribute the money on the principle
of rewarding sobriety at the expense of drunkenness,
and would not therefore apply it to recreation rooms
or institutes which the habitually intemperate man
may use as well as the sober, nor for the same rea-
son would they appropriate it in aid of soldiers'
families, or to the decrease of hospital stoppages or
barrack damages. It is especially undesirable to ap-
ply the fines in either of these last mentioned ways,
as the intemperate man is far more likely to damage
Government property than the sober one, and is als o
much more frequently in hospital. They propose
therefore to employ the money in a bonus to well
conducted soldiers on ,discharge, which would afford
an additional incentive to good conduct, and might
be enjoyed by the reformed drunkard. At the same
time it is to be hoped these startling statistics will
induce the authorities to diminish the temptations to
intemperance as much as possible.

THE CONDITIONS OF PRUSSIAN SUCCESS.

The -successes which attended the Prussian sol-
diers all through the Austrio-Prussian campaign, it
may be interesting to remember at this crisis, were
scarcely more due to the superiority of the needle
gun than to the light manner in which the men were
equipped. Their antagonists made the fatal error
of taking with them everywhere heavy knapsacks,
tins, bread bags, and all forts of minor military im-
pediments in addition to the customary articles,
a cumbrous helmet and a long flapping coat. The
Prussians, it is recorded, fought their battles in
forage caps and tunics, and the celerity with which
they were able to gain positions and to swing their
rifles in all directions favoured them to an amazing
extent. there was no doubt, however, but that
Austrian bravery quailed before the effects of the then
new weapon, and we have it on the authority of Dr.
Russell that in each conflict the morale of the Im-
perial troops suffered enormously from their impres-
sion of the gun. The following extract is from one
of his letters written at the time of Sadowa : "It is
certain that the fire of this gun was terrible in its
swiftness. In' the assault against Klum all the lead-
ing officers and men fell as they pushed up the hill. I
have been told that acalvalry regiment breaking into a
charge at a distance of 600 yards had been so pelted
with the hail of these bullets that more than one
third of every squadron in front, horses and men,
were down before they could deliver a sabre cut;
that the second line, tumbling about over the men
and horses of the first squadron, were similarly
smitten with annihilating fire ; and that when the
regiment drew on the flanks in disorder, the plain
over which they had advanced was piled with
corpses."

THE BRITISH IRON-CLAD FLEET.

At a critical time, when 89 much is being said
about the necessity for thoroughness of system
and efficiency in our navy, an account of the man-
ner in which Britannia ruled the waves in the year
of our Lord 1800 may not be without interest. On
the 3rd of August in that year Admiral Yelverton,
as Admiral in command, left Portland in. H.M.S.
Caledonia, accompanied by the Hector, Pallas,
and Achilles, for a cruise, in which the
speed of the vessels and the acquirements of the
Marines in target shooting were to be tested. The
ironclacis carried all plain sail and used steam, but
the weather was, it seems, unfavourable and bias-
pring, and the result of the efforts to get the fleet

IS ENGLAND PREPARED ?

The asseverations of Mr. Cardwell that the English
army would be in a fit state to meet an enemy have
brought critics innumerable into the field. In spite
of the Ministerial statement, the prevailing opinion
seems to be that b .th in numbers and efficiency the
British army is not in such a satisfactory state as one
would like to see it. But granting for the moment that
30,000 or 40,000 troops could be landed on the Conti-
nent, the question occurs what is the country to do
in the meantime ? This is a question put by a corres-
pondent in the Times, who asserts that our own coast
fortifications are a mere delusion. Portsmouth is
considered the most important point in the southern
military district, and neither Portsmouth nor its Outer
anchorage of Spithead has fortifications capable of
defence. The great forts on Portsdown and the lines
at Hilsea have no guns, nor are the platforms ready
for mounting them. The stone foundations of the
Spithead forts are there certainly, but the forts them-
selves exist only in name; in fact, the foundations
would serve admirably to buoy the enemy's fleet.
Turning to the Isle of Wight, matters are in a
similar position. In the event of an Attack upon
Portsmouth, a landing might be effected in Sandown
Bay, and to meet this 'contingency a granite fronted
fort was erected in the centre of the shore line of the
bay. Four years ago the fosse was filled with pre-
pared blocks of Penrhyn granite, intended for the
embrasures of an upper tier, but the War Office
authorities altered their minds and decided to have
but one tier, and this was to be strengthened by iron
shields in the embrasures. Unfortunately, like " the
nice-laid schemes of mice and men" the intentions
of the War Office have never been carried into
effect, and persons who are curious to see how we
manage these things in England have only to pay a
visit to Sand own Bay.

SOLDIERS IN CIVIL DEPARTMENTS.

Sir Charles Trevelyan writes to the Times, on
the subject of soldiers in the civil departments.
He says that the East India Company had
no difficulty in recruiting their European regiments
because it was understood that well-conducted
soldiers would sooner or later obtain a place in the
Commissariat or Public Works Department. Under
the altered condition of Indian affairs, this practice
:has been extended and developed. So many can-
didates have come forward on different occasions that
the commanding officers had to hold preliminary
examinations for the studentships in the Civil
Engineering College. In Prussia the non-commis-
sioned officers are encouraged and rewarded by civil
appointments, and it is owing to this practice that
their regiments attain to such excellence in military
training. Sir Charles ;Trevelyan thinks that there
cannot be a better training for the great mass of
semi-mechanical appointments in the Customs,
Excise, and Post Office than a few years of military
service. The recruit learns to obey and to command;
to perform iu a scrupulously exact manner a variety of
detailed duties; and to know the value of character.
The inducements to enter the service would be greatly
increased if a young man could look forward to being
appointed in a few years to a civil office. Our
recruits, without losing their taste for civil life, would
thus become trained soldiers, and our trained soldiers
while in the prime of life would preside over estab=
lishments for the national defence. They could per-
form their duty in the Reserve, and assist the Volun-
teers with their experience of military affairs. Under
these conditions the worst features of our military
system would be removed, and our soldiers would
have the return to civil life as their ultimate object
in view. •

GREAT SEIZURE OF BULLION.

The Paris Journal contains the following :—" Great
excitement prevailed yesterday among the bullion mer-
chants. A few minutes before the departure of the trains
for London and Brussels, the Northern Railway station
was visited by agents from the Prefecture of Police. A
similar visit was made to the Lyons Railway station,
before the departure of the mail for Switzerland. The
agents immediately set to work to examine the luggage
departments, and a large quantity of precious metals
was found.. The forwarders were mostly Parisians, and
among them MM. Raphael, Rothschild, Hirsch, and
Bischoffsheim. The destinations were Switzerland, Hol-
land, Italy, and England. The bullion was at once seized,
and a proces-verbal drawn up, and the parties to whom the
money was consigned were informed by telegraph of the
seizure. The whole amount represented about three-
''quarters of a million sterling. The merchants have of course
protested. This is all we know of the matter, the importance
of which cannot escape any one." Afew days ago an official
notification was published to the effect that anybody who
supplied the enemy with money would be liable to the

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY.

The Speaker took the chair at ten minutes past twelve.
There was only just sufficient members present to form a
house. —Mr. Candlish presented a memorial from a large
meeting of his constituents, in which they regretted the
deplorable war now being waged on the Continent,
and approving of. Mr. Gladstone's policy. The
reading of the substance of the memorial was
rxeived with some degree of applause. Mr,
Gourley had a very lengthy question on the notice paper
addressed to the member for Derby (Mr. Plimsoll) rela-
tive to the loss of ships from overloading, but the hon.
member not being in his place, Mr. Gourley was of course
unable to interrogate him. The Consolidated Fund (Ap-
propriation) Bill, the Sanitary Act (Dublin) Amend-
ment Bill, British Columbia Bill, Ecclesiastical
Titles Act Repeal Bill, were agresd to with-
out discussion. The report on the Judicial Com-
mittee (Salaries, &c.) was agreed to. After the con-
sideration of the Lords' Amendments, the Tramways Bill
was read a third time. The report of the East India
Revenue accounts was agreed to without discussion.
—Mr. Gourley said his attention had been called to the
refusal of the East India Council to make a grant in order
to survey the coast of Madras, with the view of ascertain-
ing what was the probable harbourage for the immense
shipping. The Secretary for India answered that
he had no knowledge whatever of the circumstance.—
The Militia Bill was brought down from the Lords end
was read a first time, and the second reading was fixed for
Monday, when the House meets at three o'clock.
