On the removal of the Indian Council at Mid-
summer next to Victoria-street the old India House in
Leadenhall-street will be sold. It occupies slightly more
than an acre, and, according to report, an offer of £200,000
has already been made for it. There is also another re-
port, that it is likely to be sought as a terminus for all the
principal railways.

Mr. DUNCAN gave notice that, on the motion for going
into committee on the Customs Duties, he would move that
it is Lot expedient at present to reduce the revenue of the
country by doing away with the ordinary sources of in-
come.

COMMITTALS (CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT).
Mr. Alderman CUBITT moved an address for a return
of the total number of prisoners committed for trial at the
Central Criminal Court in each year of the last seven
years ; showing how many were convicted, how many
acquitted, and in how many cases the bills were ignored by
the Grand Jury ; distinguishing in all these respects the
number of cases from the Justice-rooms of the City.—
Ordered. ,

RIFLE VOLVNTEER'4.

Mr. WAY asked the Secretary of State for War whether
her Majesty's Gevernment proposed to make provision in
the Army Estimates for supplying ammunition to the dif-
ferent corps of rifle volunteers ; and whether her Majesty's
Government will place the rifle volunteers on the same
footing in respect of ammunition as the volunteer artil-
lery ?

sir. LAING said that he must postpone a reply to the
question.

DUTY ON HOPS.

Mr. MILDMAY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was his intention to enfore the payment of the
duty on all home-grown hops on the Ist day of January,
or whether he would allow home growers, by availing them-
selves of the proposed system of inland bonding, to share in
the advantage enjoyed by the importers of foreign bops, of
not paying the duty until the hops were sold for consump-
tion P

Mr. LAING said that the proposed fiscal arrangement
would not take effect, so far as hops were concerned, until
the Ist January, 1861. The plan of inland bonding would
not be likely to extend to an article such as hops.
