IMPERIAL PAR LIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YisnaDA.T.)
_ _ INDIA.

In answer to Mr. PALE,
Mr. T. SMITH said no such report had been re-
ferred to, nor did he think it likely each would be made.
Under the circumstances of the state of India it was
necessary that Indian officers should be recalled who
were on furlough. Some had been appointed to office
by the Governor-General. They had been paid their
passage money, and the time they had been on fur-
lough would be counted al service.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Mr. CHILD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of the
Government this session to introduce any bill to amend
the laws relating to weights and measures 1
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
eould not undertake to produce any measure on the sub-
jeot this session.
BARRACK ACCOMMODATION.
Viscount INGESTRE asked the Under Secretary
for War when it was the intention of Government to
proceed with the designs for infantry and cavalry bar-
racks selected by the official Committee on Barrack
Accommodation for the Army in the years 1855 and
1856, according to the pledge given to the successful
candidates
Sir J. RAMSDEN said no new barracks had been
commenced since the period referred to. When the
army estimates came before the house he should ask for
a rum of money for the erection of a small cavalry
barracks at Nottingham, and if it were granted they
would be erected under the dirootion of the gentleman
who gained the first prize for designs for cavalry bar-
racks.
THE PRINCE ALBERT TROOP SHIP.
Mr. HENLEY asked the Vice-President of the Board
of Trade, whether any certificate (under the MerCoant
Shipping Act, 1854), had been granted by the Board of
Trade for the Prince Albert, 2,500 tons, iron steamship,
that sailed with troops for India in the autumn of last
year I
Mr. LOWE said that the Prince Albert was taken up
by the East India Company for the conveyance of troops
to India, having been approved of by the surveyor to
the company. She was afterwerds surveyed by the
surveyor to the Board of Trade, who reported that the
vessel did not comply with certain requirements under
the Merchant Shipping Act, but he did not reportagainat
the vessel, believing her to be agood and trust worthy ship.
Under these considerations the Board of Trade refused
to grant a certificate, but under the emergency of the
case they opposed no objections to the vessel's sailing,
and she sailed without the certificate.
