The Bishop of EXETER named the 25th inst. as the
day on which he wculd take the second reading of his
bill.

CIL Douglas, of the 11th Hussars, was then called
by Col. Tulloch—He stated that his horses were in a
very bad condition indeed, after their return in Decem-
ber from the vicinity of Inkerman, requiring shelter at
that time from their being in such a reduced state. They
were entirely exposed to the frost and the severe wea-
ther whilst standing at their picquets. Temporary shel-
ter, although there might have been no means of cover-
ing it in, would have bees of advantage to the horses.
That might have been done by digging trenches, the
earth forming a breast-work of great protection from
the weather. The French managed this much better
than we did. His men arrived at Kadikoi on 2d De-
cember from Inkerman, but he was unable to say
when the duties of collecting stores commenced.
It would have been of advantage if men could have been
got from the shipping to have assisted the cavalry in
providing shelter. In December the available number
of men under his command was 103, and every man was
set to work to make the best provision he could for him-
self and horse, when it was known where they were to
winter. That was known about the middle of December,
but he could not recollect if it was on 4h 16th. From
the 3d to the middle of December the officers and men
dug trenches, and did all they could to make their
horses comfortable ; but the ground was not bad at
that time. Thera was nothing done for the troop
horses. There was a limited supply of trenching tools,
not nearly sufficient for the wants of the regiment. He
could not say whether there was sufficient trenching
tools for a half or a third, or what proportion of the
regiment.

Lord Panmure has this day received a Despatch and its
Enclosure, of which the following are copies, addressed to
his Lordship by Gen. Sir William Codriugton, K.C.B. :

A farce called " The Postman's Knock" was produced
at this theatre last night with complete success. The
farce is one of the O'Keefe school, and consists alter-
nately of singing and dialogue. A young lady, to avoid
a hateful match, resolves to e!ope with a military officer,
and her maid designs to run off with the postman ;
but, as officers and postmen both wear red coats,
the maid is associated with the man of war and the lady
with the " man of letters"—till the double mistake is
discovered, and consequently rectified. Thanks to the
neatness with which Mr. W. Ferran sang the lay of the
" kn ,ck," and the quaint manner in which the soubrette
was played by Miss Divine, and a waiter by Mr. Clarke,
the trifle went off merrily, and was given out for repe-
tition every evening.

The Bishop of BANGOR then rose to ask the inten-
pon of the Government respecting the Church Discipline
Bill, which he described as mischievous, uncalled for,
and visionary.
The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his regret at
being obliged to differ in toto ccelo upon this subject
horn the right rev, prelate. It was his intention to move
the second reading of the bill on an early day, believing
that it was a most useful measure, and was imperatively
called for.

Enclosure.

Head-quarters, Camp, Crimea, March 24.
Sir,—l have the honour to enclose the weekly return of
sick to the 22d instant, and it is gratifying to state that,
notwithstanding the recent arrival of several drafts of re-
cruits, and the cold winds which have prevailed from the
N. au 1 N.E. during the whole of the past week, the in-
crease of admissions into hospital has only been a small
fraction higher than it was last week, and the mortality
has fallen near:y one-third.
Even in the Land Transport Corps the health of the
men has been more satisfactory ; end although there has
been no decrease in the number of admissions during the
week, the mortality has fallen more than one-half.
Taking the whole force in the Crimea, including Land
Transport Corps, Army Works Corps, and Medical Staff
Corps, the admissions to strength have only been in the
ratio of 2.41 per cent. ; deaths to strength, 0.2 per cent. ;
and sick to well, 4.41 per cent. Last week they were re-
spectively, 2.15, 0.04, 4-29.
Of the 16 deaths which occurred in the whole force
serving in the Crimea, seven took place in the Land Trans-
port alone ; and out of the 16, throe, I am sorry to ob-
serve, were from the direct effects of drunkenness ; and in
how many other cases that vice may have been the
exciting cause of disease, it is impossible to say. But
with all these defects and drawbacks, the health of the
at my, according to the ratios given above, may be fairly
said to be in a very satisfactory state.
The troops stationed at Kertch are equally healthy, and
no casualty had occurred there during th• week ending
14th March, which is the latest date up to which I have
received returns from the senior method officer there.

The Bishop of BANGOR again urged his objections

The ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY also ad-
dressed their lordship; but in a tone that was quite in-
auditJle in the gallery.

The Spanish dancers retain all their pristine power of
attraction. Indeed it seems as though the brilliant
achievements of Senora Perea Nena, far from creating a
merely temporary furore, are recognised as constituting
one of the permanent recreations of the metropolis.

A short conversation took place between the Bishop
of Exeter, the Lord Chancellcr, and Lord Redesdale,
which was also quite unintelligible, and at its termina-
tioe their lordships adjourned.

ST. JAMES'S PARK.
Mr. L. DA.VIES asked the Chief Commissioner of
Public Works, whether he intended to carry out the
plan suggested by the committee for opening the coin-
znunication from St. Tames's Park to Waterloo Place ;
and whether the recommendation of the committee, that
the Duke of York's monument should be removed, had
been fully considered by the Government.
Sir B. HALL said he should be prepared next week
to state how much of the report the Government in-
tended t) adopt. As gnat objection existed to the
removal of the York column, he had measured
the ground on either side of the column, and he
found that the carriage-road into the park at that point
might be effected without disturbing the column. The
house should be fully- informed upon this subject before
anything definite was done.

Col. Tulioch asked the Commissioners to read to the
witness a portion of his evidence given before the Cam•
missiouers in the Crimea, and signed by him.
Lord Lucan objected to this as the events spoken to
occurred in December. Whereas the inquiry before the
Crimean Commissioners did not take place until April.

Tho cavalry division in the B mphorus is also very
healthy, and only two deaths had occurred in it during
the week ending 11th March.
Taking the sick of the whole British force in Turkey,
both in general and regimental hospitals, the ratio of
death to strength has only been o'o3 per cent., and the
ratio of sick to well 6.09 per cent.—l have, &c.,

Col. Tulloch said it was a mistake. The witness was
examined on the 25th of March, and not in April.
Ultimately a portion of the witness's evidence was
read relative to the trenching tools, in reply to which
the witness said it was true there was a limited supply
of tools, and that some were left behind, but that was
when on the march, and on the heights before Joker-
man, and no reissue was made, until after then. As far
as he recollected only a few sets of tools were issued.
The want of intrenching tools did not retard the progress
of providing shelter for the horses on the heights, be-
cause the masons, carpenters, and such men were at
headquarters assisting in erecting depot stabling there.
He did not think the men so engaged exceeded the num-
ber of men of that description usually found in a regi-
ment, viz., half-a-dozen. The other men of the regi-
ment, about 100, were mostly engaged in duties that
prevented their providing shelter ; the days were very
short, and the weather so bad that sometimes the men
could not work. Before the Crimean Commissioners he
st tted that the butting commenced on the Ist of Feb.,
which he believed was correct, and by it he meant that o❑
that day they commenced putting on the wood covering
of the excavations that had previously been made. It
was so long since he could scarcely recollect exactly
when they commenced excavati-ns. The ground was
not available for the horses till the wooden coverings
were ready and put on. He thought they commenced '
preparing ground about tho beginning of Jan. It to
from the let Jan. to let Feb. to prepare the ground.
There werenot more than 30 men available during that
time for this work. Temporary shelter might have
been erected in a few days by his own men with
canvas, &c., if he ha I had it ; but he made
no suggestion of that kind ; shelter like that pro.
vide i by the artillery of canvas, etc., if properly selected
and erected, would have lasted throughout the winter.
Tile ground was selected by an engineer officer after con-
sulting with witness. He would rather not give an an-
swer to a question put to him in the words of the Com-
missioners' report that their was any " want of promp-
titude or ingenuity displayed" with reference to the
sheltering of the horses,•or give any opinion ou that sub-
ject.
Colonel Tulloch—Why do you object to answer the
question ?
Colonel Douglas—l should be giving an opinion as to
the co,iduct of my superior officers. I do not know
what reasons might have influenced them. I only speak
of *hat I saw myself. I cannot give you an answer to
the question.
Colonel Tulloch said he wished to call attention to
the short supply of barley to the horses at Inkerman,
a-id aeked the Board whether he should enter on it now
or wait until Lord Cardigan was called.
Lord Lucan said he understood that this was an in-
quiry into those parts of the report to which he ob-
jected. He confined his objections to two paragraphs
in the rep -irt, and to which he called the attention of the
board at the commencement of the proceedings.

At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 9th day of
April, 1856—present, the Queen's most excellent Majesty
in council—her Majesty having been pleased to appoint the
right hon. Francis, Earl of Ellesmere, to be Lord Lieutenant
and Custos Rotulorum of the county palatine of Lancas-
ter, his lordship this day took the oaths appointed to be

premacy.

Mr. RACARTNEY asked the First Commissioner of
Public Works, whether the attention of the Government
bad been, or would be, directed to the advantage of
opening a carriage way from Queen's-square through
the present gates into the Birdcage-walk, in connection
with the other improvements in St. Jarees's-park.
Sr B. HALL said the opening of a carriage way at
that point did not rest with the Government.

room of Joseph Neeld, Esq., deceased.
BOROUGH OF ENNls.—John David Fitzgerald, of Mer-

Tulloch said that as Lord Lucan did not consider
that part of the report objectionable, he (Col. Tu'loch)
had no wish to enter on it. He had no further questions
to pat to the witness.

The Judge-Advocate General asked Lord Lucan if he
wished to examine the witness ?

Lord Lucan said he should refrain from doing so then,
but ask to recall him at a subsequent period.
The Judge-Advocate-General said Col. Douglas the
Board wishes me to put this question to you. Did Lard
Lucan frequently visit the camp of your regiment, and
did he appear to be anxious for the comfort of the men
and horses ?

Cul. Douglas—l can answer that question if I am
allowed to express an opinion on my superiors.
Lord Lucan said he had not the slightest objection to
the witness answering the question.
The Jndge•Advocate—Will you answer this question,
whicia is a, matter of fact ? Did Lord Lucan frequently
visit the camp of your regiment !
Col. Douglas—Yes, he did.
The Judge•Advacate—Are you prepared to state what
passed at those visits ?

Col. Douglas—Lord Lucan used to look round and
see what was going on. Alt I can say is, that he fre-
qoently visited the camp.
After an unimportant question from Col. Tullooh the
witness withdrew.

C )1. Doherty, of sth Dragoons, examined by Lord
Levan on a previous day was examined by Colonel
Tulloch The horses after their return from In-
kernen were in a bad state and required shelter
in consequence. The witness was examined as
to the mode of giving temporary shelter to horses
by digging pits and throwing up earthworks around
them, but he was unable to state how long it would take
one man to so shelter two horses. He accounted for
that not being done, from the 31 Dec., when they arrived
at Kadekoi, to the 13th, from his men being engaged in
"trip piquet and other duties. There was an insufficiency
of trenching tools, but be could not recollect the date.
\viten they had marched down the country to Ba'aklava
DgGth Sept.) they had no trenching tools. On the 3d e
.he had not a sufficient quantity of trenching tools.

end of January the horses were standing in pickets with
clothing on. On the ground none of the cavalry horses
were protected by
diggingtrenches and throwing up
earth works duringthat

bad some trenches that had beend with water. They
dug and drained.
Shelter might have been afforded b cloth erectioes,
but he did not know if it could have been procured, or
sehaeltenr of that
command
the number of men available and the teoel
would have depended how Soon sufficient 3
description could have been erected. He did

necessary shelter if they had been offered
lie lost 33 horses out of 111 io December, and he shoulld.
imagine that their cot was greater than the labour
alluded to. He should have made an application for
canvas and assistance, if he had thought it obtainable.
He might have made a casual observation upon this sub-
ject, but he certainly made no official communication.
It did not rest altogether with other persons to make
such a suggestion to the proper authorities. The firet
shelter was erected about the 10th February, and that
being insufficient, another was erected by the 220.
If there had been canvas and scantling, the horses
might have been sheltered six weeks earlier. He
was unable to state at the date of hi
examination in March last how many horses had died at
that time. He had 41 horses left, nine only of which wet e
fit for duty. In Nov. he had 144 horses, 20 of whie'l
died ; in Dec. 111 horses, 33 of which died ; and in
