DON AND DUBLIN.

In reply to Mr. H. HERBERT,
Mr. HAMILTON said no satisfactory progress had
yat been made. In February last the PoAmaster-
General forwarded to the company the draft of a con-
tract which had not yEt been returned to him. It was
in the hands of the Chet.tcr and Holyhead Company,
and the cause of deliy was Mr. Peto's (the chairman of
the company) absence. nitre were difficulties in the
way of carrying out the arrangements, which however
would be removed by the passing of a bill now before
Parliament. He believed tho companies were naturally
waiting for that bill to be puffed.

In reply to Viscount EBRINGTaN,

General PEEL said that the report refirred to in the
fast part of the question would be ready on Monday
next, and it should be immediately after laid on the
table of the house. Dfr rent cooking apparatus had
been tried, and as soon as the report on them were sent
in they should also be produced. It was the intention
of her Majesty's Government as soon as. a plan was
finally agreed upon To have it tyloptei to all new bar-
racks, and tncans would b: taken for providing for other
means of-cooking in the cid barracks otherwise than by
boiling. (Cheers.)
