APPOINTMENT 01" MR. TULIN.

Mr. WISE asked the Under-Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether Mr. Tulin, recently vice-consul
at Oran, had been appointed consul at Mobile ! whether
it be true that a certificate of naturalisation bad been
refused to that gentleman 1 and under what peculiar cir-
cumstances, and upon what grounds, a foreigner bad
been appointed to an American consulate ?
Mr. S. FITZGERALD said he had to inform the
house that Dlr. Tulip, recently at Oran, had been ap-
pointed vice-consul at Mobile. It was true that the
eutifioat;.-. of naturalisation had been refused to that gen.
tlerean, because, in order to come under the act for the
naturalisation of foreigners, it was necessary that the
pLrsons applying should have been some time resident ire
this couatry. In reference to the last part cf the ques-
tion he had to state, in the first instacco, that there
was nothing in the !aw to prevent the appointment of
a foreigner to any British consulate. In this particular
instance Mr. Tulin had been appointed solely on account
of his public services. His father was fur 30 years in
the British service. He was well known as having per-
formed most efficient services to the British Govern-
ment, and more particularly as having distinguished
himself by his Exertions to obtain the relief of the cap-
tives detained at Tunis. No one was more deserving of
public respect. The present Mr. Tulin had been brought
up here ; he had been solely educated in England ; he
had been for many years employed in the service of this
country ; and it was only because that service had re-
quired him to reside abroad that he had not been able
to make himself by residence what he was in every other
respect, an Englishman.
THE INDIAN LEGISLATIO2er.

Mr. AYRTON gave notice that on Monday nest he
should call the attention of the noble lord at the head of
the Board of Control, who would then probably be iu
the house, to the bills that had been brought before the
house for amending the government of India, and he
trusted that the noble lord would then give a distinct
explanation of the course which it was the object of the
Government to pursue.
SUPPLY.— CO M MITTEE.

The house then went into committee of supply. The
fir,t vote 7;al

46,3711., for solicitor, treasury, aed law charges, in
eluding MIA yr :secution?,

Mr. W. ‘VILLIAMS asked for some explanation in
raretice to the Briti h Bank prosecution.
Mr. HAMILTON said that the expense of 10,000/.
had been taken hypothetically, the bills of oost not hav-
ing been sent

The vote was then agreed to.
150;000l. for prosecutions at assizas and quarter ses
sionp.

Mr. WILSON said this was a reduction of 100,0001.
on the vote for la-t year, and he was glad that so large
an economy had been effec'ei. He wished to know whe-
ther the soul now asked for was to cover the whole ex•
penditure of the year ?
Mr. HAMILTON said that in all probability it would
not leaver the year's expanses.
Sir G. C. LEWIS hoped that the practice of taking
votes by guess would not be persisted in.
Mr. WILSON said that it had been the practice of
the late Government, and all former Governments, to
estimate the amount required under each head for the
year, and take a vote for that sum. The present Govern-
ment bad professed to save 400,000/. on the civil con-
tingencie4, but he knew they wolvd not be able to do
anything of the kind. They were asking for 150,0001.
undo.. this head, whereas the expenditure would be
200,0001. at least.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished for more precise in-
formation as to the balance in hand and the estimate for
the year.
Aft, r a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS,
Mr, HAMILTON said that the balance is the exche-
quer which was more than 50,0001., would suffice, with
the 150,0001. now asked for, to cover the expenditure of
the year.
Mr, WILSON. insisted that,on this system of carrying
over a balance from one year to another, no comparison
c uld be made between years. This could not occur
with regard to the army and navy, for the surplus of one
year oould not by law be applied to another.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that measores were in course of preparation, founded on
the report of the committee on public) monies, which
would render it impossible for the estitna'es in future to
be prepared i❑ this manner, which he agreed was objec-
tionable. Toe estimates for the civil service would then
be placed on the same footing as those for the army and
navy.

After an uninteresting conversation, .
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the statement in the first
page of the estimate, showing a decrease on the vote
co., pared with last year, was inaccurate. He would
suggest that when the report was brought up, a state-
ment of the actual balance in hand under each head
should be la•d before the house,
Mr, HA ILTON promised that something of thi
kind should t e done.

Mr. PULLER, referred to the fact that the expenses
of apprehension of prisoners were now disallowed, and
fell on the prosecutors. This was a very mischievous
state of thin:p,, ant he hope that a remedy would be
applied.
Mr. WALFOLE said that the matter, with others,
was under the consideration of a commission now sitting,
which wcul ! pr)bably report in the c.mrse of the winter.
T.ll then they had bstttr suspend their
judgment.
Mr. WILSON expressed his readiness to do so.
Aftera few words from Sir J. P AKINGTON and Sir G.
Grey on an irmilelital matter,
Mr. lIANIILTON said that the object of the Treasury
was t) confine the allowacos as nearly as possible to the
costs c f the prosecution.

The vote was then agreed to.

- Sir G. GREY said the cause of the increase was that
the vote fir the present year was fur the whole year,

whirreas last year it was for a portion of the year only.
This was not a gradually increasing vote, because when
the police of any county or borough bad
_reached a cer-
tain point of efficiency there would be no further increase.
The vote was then agreed to,

With regard to the amalgamation of the insolvency and
hankruptcy courts that was a different thing, and he
might say the sutject was under the consideration of the
gaverEment.

Mr. WILSON said that in thecoun'ry the business o
