PETITIONS.

The presentation of petitions, ehiofly in favour of and
against different portions of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer's Badget, occupied nearly an hour.

sion of the 16th and 17th clauses of the budget, and that
the sum 10d. should be reduced to 9d. (Hear, hear.)

TROOPS ENGAGED IN THE PERSIAN WAR.

Mr. ADAM asked the Secretary of State for India if ho
would state the substance of any communication which he
had lately received from the Government of India, regard-
ing the payment of extra batta to the troops engaged in the
Persian war; and, whether her Majesty's Government
were prepared now to recommend the payment of such
batta ?
Sir C. WOOD said that the Government of India had
recommen'ed her Majesty's Government to allow six
months' donation. If Parliament acceded to that proposi-

--ion, no time would be lost in taking a financial vote on the
subject.
OFFICERS OF THE ARTILLERY.

Lord BURGIILEY asked the Secretary of State for
War when the field allowance claimed by the Aileen of
artillery and of the line, who were sent in the year 1867 to
the attack of Canton, in lieu of the consolidated allowance
which they were ordered in April, 1359, to refund, was to
be repaid.
____

Mi. S. HERBERT said that the allowance in ques-
tion had been granted to some of the officers, and would be
paid to others who might apply for it.
THE VOLUNTEER CORPS.
Col. NORTH asked the Secretary of State for War, if
the fees to be paid by officers of the volunteer corps for their
coMmissions will be the same in all counties ; and: if so,
What amount they will be called on to pay.
Mr. S. HERBERT said he had no authority to adjudi •
°ate on the question as to what amount of foes should be
paid, but it was intended to pursue the precedent laid down
by his predecessor in office.

ITALY.
Mr. PALK asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether a communication, made to her Majesty's
Ambassador, was to the effect that, in the case of annexa-
tion of Central Italy to Sardinia, the French Government
was of opiniun that it would be necessary for France to
have some increase of territory on the side of Savoy : whe-
ther the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will lay this
despatch and communication upon the table of the hous
Lord J. RUSSELL said that it would not be convenient
to supply the information required at presext, but he would
do so that day fortnight.
THE ALLEGED BRIBERY AT NORWICH.
Mr. E. JAMES inquired of the Attorney-General
whether his attention had been called to certain proceedings
at Norwich, with reference to the alleged bribery of one
Joel Fox ; and to the refusal of a witness, a magistrate of
the said city, to answer certain questions on the ground
that the answers thereto might tend to criminate himself;
and to the conduct of certain other magistrates in voting
for the adjournment of a charge in which.they were alleged
to be implicated.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not think it
necessary to prefer any criminal indictment in the case al-
luded to.

REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, &c. (IRELAND).
Lord DUNKELLIN asked the Chief Secretary for In-
land whether her Majesty's Government proposed to take
any stops towards the promotion of a general system of
registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland
during this session Parliament.
Mr. CARDWELL said it was intended by Government

to take such steps at an early day.
CONIMISSION ON EDUCATION.
Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Vice-President of Com-
raitteo of Council on Education when the report of the
Royal Commission was likely to be presented to Parlia-
ment ?
Mr. LANE said that at present the report alluded to wee
not ray for iresentation.
TILE FRENCII TREATY.

In reply to Mr. E. BALL,
Lord PALMERSTON said that it was competent to
either party to this treaty to make a settlement in
reference to any alteration or modification that
might be made in its tarns. lie would take
that opportunity of moving that the house should adjourn
at its rising that evening until two o'clock to-morrow, it
being Ash Wednesday.
MR. DU CANE'S MOTION•

Sir J. GRAHAM said that he would avail himself of the
opportunity afforded by the motion of the noble lord to
address the house on a point of order. The honour-
able member for Essex had placed en the table
a motion which was not in conformity with
the general precedents of the house. He was of
opinion that no resolution could be proposed in committee
of supply. However, in 1853, it was permitted to the right
hon. member to move a resolution in reference to the in-
come-tax, but that was a precedent which ought not to be
followed, as it was likely to prove dangerous.
(Hear, hear.) He would submit, therefore, to the
house it was not competent for an hon. member
to move a resolution in committee not arising out of a
question of revenue. It was necessary tkat there should
be an ample discussion on the financial policy of the
rizht hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
which could not be raised on the motion of the hon.
member.
After some discussion on the point of order,

L .rd PALMERSTON said that of course the hon.
member would be the best judge of the course he intended
to pursue. If however, he wished to press his motion he
would postpone the further progress of the committee on
the 'Customs' Act. (Hear, hour.)
Mr. D U CANE said he would avail himself of the offer
of the noble lord, and proceed with his motion.
Mr. GLADSTONE observed that he would not novo
hie resolution relative to foreign wines before Friday nest.
Mr. DU CANE then rose to move the resolution of
which he had given notice, and was
