[LEFT SPEAKING. I

HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—Turn EVENING.
The SPEAlait took the chair at 4 o'cl,ek.
THE MURDER AT DOVER.
Mr. CARD WELL, in reply to a question from Mr. P.
Taylor, said it was quite true that Corporal Barnes had
been suspected of insanity, and had been 53 days in the
hospital and then discharged, on.the surgeon pronouncing
him not insane, and that he continued to perform his
duties properly and well. lie was, howeever, of opinion
that neglect did not attach to the surgeon, and the Di-
rector-General was about to communicate fficially with
him.
DOVER HOUSE.

Mr CARD WELL, in reply to Mr. Shaw, said it was
not true that Government had purchased the lease of
Dover flousc. The best mode of conducting the business
of the Horse Guards and War-office would be by having
the two departments under one roof, and that matter was
now under consideration.
HUSH RAILWAYS.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. 0. Gore, said that
Government were aware of the strong wish of the Irish
representatives and other persons of great influence that
a measure with respect to the Government taking the Irish
railways in hand, and that a bill to that effect might be
formed on the second report of the commissioners appointed
to inquire into the subject, but Government thougut other
methods might Le thought of, and therefore he could pro-
mise that the subject should receive that respectful conci
deratiun to which it was entitled. It would b 5 wrong for
hint, at the picsont moment, to giv, any ans,ver that
might lead to any anticipation as ti what that measure
wouLl be.

THE TEMPLE COLLECTION.
Mr. WAL PULE, in reply to Mr. Lo wther said it was quite
true that other objects of a similar descript,on had
been purchased by the trustees, and that the wielc of the
articles had got mixrd up in the Temple collection—had
in fact, as a collection, passed away. Ile had, how-
ever, to inform the hon. gentleman that such
was not the case, and directions had been
given to have the whole of the Temple collection
properly and distinctly labelled.
INDIAN FINANCE.
Mr. GRANT-DUFF said the acc3unt of the Home
changes were all fully published in the Government
" Gazette" of India, and he thought quite in detail. The
" Gazette" was circulated, and he had every reason to
believe the Indian public had full means of becoming
acquainted with them. He thought the dissatisfaction
that existed on the subject arose from misconception.
SMOKING ON RAILWAYS.
Mr. BRIGHT, in reply to Mr. Cadogan, said he was
quite aware of the antagonistic legislation which had
taken place with regard to the Metropolitan district rail-
ways with respect to smoking. The Board of Trade
could not be expected to settle everything, and under
all the circumstances he thought the matter had better be
left to the discretion of the directors.
THE COURT HOUSE, GRAVESEND.
/dr. AYRTON informed Sir C. Wingfield that the rote
for building the Court-house was in the estimates now on
the table, and as soon as it was passed the building would
be proceeded with.
THE BANDA PRIZE MONEY.

Mr. GRANT DUFF said there was some mistake about
the seven men in the sth battery 17th brigade of the
Royal Artillery not getting their share of the money. The
commanding officer said ho had not received it, and ac-
cordingly the Madras Government had been requested to
make some inquiry into the mistake.
