METROPOLITAN TOLL GATES.

Lord EBURY asked if the Government intended to take
this subject into their consideration, and whether they in-
tended to introduce a bill on the subject.
Earl GRANVILLE said the Government intended to
submit a measure to Parliament on the subject mentioned
by the noble lord.

MILITIA BILL.
Earl DE GREY moved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which was to effect certain alterations
and improvements in the militia. The best
effects were anticipated from this bill, and he
confidently hoped the militia would soon recover its tem-
porary depression, and again become a most valuable force.
After a few observations from the Earl of MALMES BURY,
Lord HARDINGE asked whether the Government in-
tended to grant any increased allowance to the non-com-
missioned officers on the permanent staff.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH thought that much good
would be effected if the Government were to consolidate the
whole of the laws relating to the militia.
Earl DE GREY agreed with the noble duke
that much good would be effected by consolidat-
ing the militia, and Government had the sub-
ject under their consideration, and he hoped in th•
next session of Parliament to be enabled to proceed with
that object. With respect to the question of the other
noble lord (Hardinge), he had the ' happiness to inform
him that it was the intention of the Government to
provide increased rates of pay for the permanent staff of the
militia.

Mr. SULLIVAN moved the following additional clauses:
—" Dwelling houses, buildings, or fixtures on the premises
at any time during the tenancy shall not (except as herein-
after provided) be removed from the premises, pulled down,
or otherwise injuriously dealt with or altered in their essen-
tial character, without special grant or licence in writing in
that behalf by a person competent to make a grant or licence.
Personal chattels, engines, and machinery, and buildings
accessorial thereto, erected and affixed to the freehold by
the tenant at his sole expense, for any purpose of trade,
manufacture, or agriculture, or for ornament, or for the
domestic convenience of the tenant in his occupation of
the demised premises, and so attached to the freehold that
they can be removed without substantial damage to
the freehold or to the fixture itself, and which shall

not have been so erected or affixed in pursuance
of any obligation or in violation of any agree-
ment in that behalf, may be removed by the tenant, or his
executors or administrators, during the tenancy, or when
the tenancy determines by some uncertain event, and with-
out the act or default of the tenant, within a reasonable
time after such determination, except so far as may be
otherwise specially provided by the contract of tenancy."
Mr, DEASY said that the question of fixtures should be
dealt with by a sparate bill, and should not be introduced on
the present occasion.
Mr. MONSELL suggested that the clause should be
limited to agricultural produce. .

After some discussion the clause, with some alterations,
was agreed to. _ _

which was rejected to. _ _

The preamble was then agreed to, and the bill ordered to

INDIAN CORRESPONDENCE.
Sir DEL. EVANS asked the Secretary of State for War
whether he had not received from the Secretary of State
for India in Council a letter from the Bombay Government,

dated the 25th day of February, 1860, with enclosed letter
from the Inspector-General of Ordnance in Bombay, dated
the 30th day of November, 1859, together with copy of a
letter from the Bombay Government, dated the 12th day of

March, 1860, with inclosure from the Inspector-General.

dated the 15th day of December, 1859, all relating to stores
sent from this country to India; and whether there would be
any objection to laying copies of this correspondence upon
the table of the house, together with copies of any corres-

pondence concerning the recall, by the Council of India, of
certain storekeepers recently sent to India by the Secretary

of State for War.

Mr. S. HERBERT had been able that afternoon to ob

tain the correspondence in question, which there would be
no difficulty in laying before the house. Part of it was in-
complete, because the respective offices were endeavouring
to find out what was the best mode of packing stores ii
future. He was glad the gallant general had asked for the
papers, because they would remove a great deal of the mis-
apprehension which had existed as to the amount of stores
of a perishable nature which had been sent out in an unser-
viceable state—a point upon which there had been a good
deal of exaggeration. It was right to observe that the tran-
sactions referred to had occurred, not only before he (Mr.

Herbert) came into office, but even before the secretaryship
for India was created.
THE SPANISH TARIFF.

Mr. LYALL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether, in consequence of his representations to
the Spanish Government, and the advantages granted to
Spain by the recent alterations of our tariff, that Govern-
ment was disposed to alter its navigation laws ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said the Spanish Government had
shown a disposition to reconsider their tariff with a view to
alterations ; but he had no reason to think they would mo-
dify their navigation laws.
