THE MISCELLANEOUS SE.RrIcEs.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into
the expenditure for miscellaneous services, and to
report to the House whether any reduction can be
effected in that branch of the public expenditure,
and who were empowered to report observations,
together with the minutes of evidence and proceed-
ings, to the House, have agreed to
.the following
report :

Your Committee commenced the inquiry by considering.
the mode of framing the estimates, the time of the session
when they are presented to Parliament, and the votes in
Class No. 1.

They are of opinion that the Estimates for the Civil
Service ought to be laid before Parlianient at the same
period as the Army and Navy Estimates.
That nearly all the votes now brought under No. VII.,
entitled, " Miscellaneous, Special, and Temporary Ob-
jects," ought to be placed in the different classes to which
they respectively and properly belong. Should there be
any special estimates which cannot be brought under the
first six classes, such special estimates ought to be presented
at the same time as the first six.
That in case of any votes being required during the sit-
ting of Parliament for any unforeseen and urgent service,
a supplementary estimate ought to be presented, accom-
panied by notes explanatory of the reasons why the said
sums were not included in the original estimates and re-
ferring them to their respective classes ; and also that such
of the expenses included in Civil Contingencies as are of a
constantly recurring nature should be provided for by esti-
mates in their appropriate classes.
That Parliament ought to be informed in the estimates
of each year, of the unexpended balance of each vote of
the past year which had been sanctioned by Parliament,
and the balance remaining in the Exchequer to the credit
of each vote up to the 31st of Dezember of the current finan-
cial year.

That in the case of all new works under Class 1., the
construction of which is to be extended over more than one
year, the estimates in every case should be prepared in the
same form as that for new works in the Navy Estimates.
That the present system of audit is imperfect, inasmuch
as only a portion of the expenditure is brought before the
Board of Audit; but the subject having been very fully
considered by the Committee on Public Moneys, your com-
mittee confine themselves to referring to their report, and
expressing an opinion that some steps should be taken to
introduce a more uniform and efficient system of audit.
That the evils arising from the constant changes in the
office of Chief Commissioner of Works having been pro-
minently brought before your committee, they are of
opinion that the appointment of a permanent Commissioner
would seem the only means of removing them. Your com-
mittee consider that, upon the appointment of a permanent
Commissioner, the duties of the existing political office of
First Commissioner in Parliament might be discharged by
some other Minister of the Crown in the House of Com-
mons.

That if a permanent Commissioner were appointed, all
public works not already under the. Department of
Public Works, except those for naval anirmilitary defence,
ought to be placed under that department.
Your committee have been unable to continue their in-
quiries in the matter committed to them further in the
present session of Parliament ; they strongly recommend
to the house the appointment of a committee in the next
session of Parliament to resume the inquiry.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—We extract a few out of the many
thousand expressions of gratitude from invalids cured with-
out medicine by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica
Food :—Cure No. 71. The Right Hon. the L'ird Stuart de
Decies, of many years' dyspepsia and all its horrors.—Cure
No. 49,832. " Fifty years' indescribable agony from dys-
pepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatu-
'eau, spasms, sickness at the stomach and vomiting, have
been removed by Du Barry's excellent Food. Maria Joly,
Wortham Ling, near Dies, Norfolk."—Cure No. 47,121.
Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of Nazing Vicarage, Waltham Cross,
Hells, a cure of extreme itervousness, indigestion, gatherings,
low spirits, and nervous fancies.—Cure No. 48,314. Miss
Elizabeth Yeoman, Gateacre, near Liverpool, a cure of ten
years' dyspepsia, and all the horrors of nervous irritability.
Avoid Pills and Medicines : they invariably aggravate and
perpetuate diseases ; their annoyance, disappointment,
and expense may be avoided by using Du Barry's Fcod
which, at a few pence per day, saves 50 times its cost in
other remedies, removing effectually, without purging,
constipation, indigestion (dyspepsia) nervous, bilious and
liver complaints and all their consequences. Certificate
No. 30,418. We find it the safest remedy. Andrew Ure,
F. 8.5., Dr Harvey, Dr. Wurzer, Dr. Shorland, Dr.
Campell. Let invalids avoid the feprful dangers of spu-
rious and injurious imitations offered under a variety of
false pretences. Nevill s imitations are prohibited by the
igh. Court of Chancery under a penalty of £5,000 against
A cFred Hooper Nevill and his agents ; and the pretences
patent for Arabica Food and that Du
BaiTY s are
t;;'..ca hasconnected with such patent are utterly false.
