stand many things in the statement of the hon.. gentleman.
He had not explained the duties of the new War Department,
and he (Colonel Dunne) thought that no one in the house
now knew more about the arrangements of the Commissariat
than on entering it. He wanted explanations on the lower
parts of the War Department. The hon, gentleman had
talked of the new order of merit. He himself would rather
have seen a lower order of the Bath, but that was for her
Majesty to judge. It was not stated that any board was al,"
pointed for the inspection of army clothing. In old tinul
this was done by a general board of officers—at present 130
military man was responsible for the army clothing, and until
this was the case there would still be the absurdities iu army
clothing that had been so much talked about.
The vote was then agreed to, as was the supplemental
vote of 62,3061. for wages.
On the question that 987,1851. be granted for stores,
Col. KNOX wished to know what was the meaning of the
appearance of at item of 250, 001. for encampments/ This
.item had appeared in previous estimates. Was it a repetitieot
or was it for additional expenses ?
Mr. MONSELL said that the vote was necessary to provide
additional accommodation for the troops—it was for this pure
pose proposed to establish encampments in different parts 0,
the country, which was the object of the sum required.
Col. C. LEGH had some objection to state to the erection
of huts in the north of Ireland, and wished to know if he
should have another opportunity of stating that objection?
Mr. MONSELL was afraid that there would be no other
opportunity., as the expense was already incurred.
Col. C. LEGH would thou say that he considered the ever
tion of these huts, which were fragile and inconvenient, big"'
injudicious. The same expense would have provided addi-
tional accommodation in barracks of permanent brickwork'
and have been much more useful to the army. The whole °'
the north of Ireland was being covered with huts, which
might be burned down and destroyed at any time.
Mr. MONSELL said that the Government, could not wait
the time necessary for building new barrack accommodationi
They were obligedlo do what was to be done with the left
delay. He admitted that it would have been much better A,
the accommodation could have been provided in a permanent
manner, but the Government had no option.
Col. TAYLOR thought that iron huts, which had.been pro.
posed, would have answered the purpose, and would hei°
been more durable. Perhaps the expense was the objection,
he should be glad of information on this head.
Mr. WILLIAMS complained of the loose manner in wu.
they were voting away money for barrels without-due inqtliffe
He saw several expensive propositions for warming the ,bar:
racks with steam or hot waters which. he thought quite usedell
Colonel NORTH said that the. hon. member also,/
made objection to every proposition for the increase of tit°
army.
Mr. MILES wished to know if thsw hon, member had read
his history, and been told how 13:a-racks had been knocked
down from a false economy. If they wore to have goo
soldiers they must keep them warm:.
Mr. MONSELL, in reference to the question asked hint it
speeting iron huts, said that the expense of each hut won'
have been 6/. 7s. 6d. ; but the objection to them was on the
score of their unhealthiness. In reference to what had boa
last said, he quits. agreed in the false economy which lra
pulled down valuable barracks an d sold the materials for
trifle.
The vote was agreed te.
2,338/. for defraying the charge* of the scientific contra
tee at Woolwich was agreed to.
The next vote was for 246,716 iaien, including the officer°
and non-commissioned officers in thue East India territoriee..l
Colonel NORTH called attention to the fact, that oft,,'
colonels of the army were anxious to know if brevets weraf •
cease, and that these men were. not to have any hope tj
brevet taking place that would give them that rank they ne
naturally looked forward to duriing the whole of their loa;
life. He much approved of the or der of valour, and as Ow
were many officers in the army of small means he hoped Di
Government would remit them the, fees usually payable •
those who received the Order of th e Bath. Pro'
Colonel DUNNE moved that tl la committee report P
gress.

In reply
PALMERSTON said he wiNhed a vote of sufficient
men to cover the Mutiny Act, and such an amount of rep"lo
as would cover three months' pay- After that it well'
competent to the committee to disc uss the items.
Mr. MILES dissented from such a course as that Pr°Plc;
of voting three months' pay on nt:count, having dispose
the sordupplemental votes.
the
L PALMERSTON said that on Friday ho wouldthe
into the remainder of the votes ; and as it was against oe
feeling of the committee to vote the three mouths' P2.7.A0
account, he would not forco it, brit move it again on °—
next.
The vote for the men was agreed: to.
The house then resumed, apd
The Delamere Forest Bill went through committee,
was ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. Ale
The Turnpike Trusts Arrangerotent Bill, after a short
cussion, was read a third time.
The Commons Inelosure Bill wag also read a third time'
The third reading of the Drainage Advances Acts Amen
ment Bill was postponed till Monday.
OATHS OF AI'AJURATION.
Mr. M. GIBSON moved to bring in his bill in reference
this question.
Mr. WALPOLE said ho admitted that the oath of stbiti
tion contained provisions wtlich, from the lapse of tiraepio
become obsolete, and wliich it seemed advisable be
abolished ; but he wishes', it to be borne in mind the
conceived the e tth in question contained principle,' bo.
ought to be retained to any new oath that might be 611,
tuted for it. At the /present time three oaths were talce,
' members of Parliameut—the oath of allegiance, the oaV
supremacy, mid the oath of abjuration; and if they Ipo ice
carefully W.O theta, they would find that they contained te"eo;
distinct principles—first, simply allegiance to the Qgce,
secondly , the supremacy—a clear and undivided allcgian igll
not conky an allegiance to the Queen, but that no for.
:die,
princi), prelate, or potentate hatb, or ought to have, PILO
tion or authority in this realm ; and thirdly, the alleanot
ace Jrding to a particular line of succession, and an irapo,
pr ,nciple involving the foundation of the Protestant prille'rse
is) far as it was contained in an oath. He should be sorribit
see in any oaths that might be prescribed to members of
house these three principles omitted.
Doe'
Leave was given to bring in the bill, which was at a 0,04
quent period brought in and read a first time, and eru
to be read a second time on Wednesday, the 9th APril• eye
A The house then adjourned at twenty-five minutes to
o'clock.
