LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1858.

The military administration of the country is
considered beyond the jurisdiction of the House
of Commons. Impertinent civilians have no right
to interfere with the management of the army.
That must be left in the hands of military cliques,
or Court intriguers. It is not because men are
the chosen representatives of independent con-
stituencies, that they constitute the real govern-
ing power of the nation, that they should intrude
on a well preserved domain, or aim at game far
beyond what military authorities conceive to be
just or expedient.

It is impossible, however, to ignore the resolu-
tion arrived at on Tuesday evening, certainly by
a narrow majority—but still a majority. The
authority of the popular branch must be recog-
nised, and if there be any disinclination to do so
in any quarter, it is incumbent on its members
to assert their own dignity and independence.
if Ministers disregard the obvious duty imposed
on thetii-bythe resolution of the House, they must
be stinfulatebzfurther operations. Double Gc-
vernment--diviativ!ponsibility--in any form or
shape, has of late daysisaen generally, if not uni-
versally, condemned. The oardians of the public
purse—those who are called on to provide for
the liberal maintenance of the army). have a per-
feet
right to exercise full control over t4at army.
They have made oonsiderable progress in thejight
direction by the consolidation of the Ordnance
Commissariat dt-partments, and that which was\
formerly. under the management of the Secretary
at War, and placing all under a single Ali-
uister. But there is still a conflict of juris-
tlinlions. No one seems to understand tho-
roughly where one ends or the other begins,
and it is manifestly essential that these
matters shodd be clearly defined, and 'that the
requisite powers should be placed in responsible
bands, unquestionably bound to answer on every
point to these providing the funds.
At present it seems itniaosiLle to discover
under which thimble the pea can be
found.
,When a complaint is fully
.established, it
is shuffled off from one to mailer—the
mark is so fleeting and variable, that the
best aimed shaft can seldom, if ever, reach
its destination. It was this flagrant grievancd
this& the House of Commons endeavoured to reach
on Tuesday evening. But still the phantasm
vittiiishes at the moment when it seems within

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Since Monday the receipts of English wheat, coastwise,
have been moderate, and the supply received fresh up to-
day by land carriage from Essex an 1 Kent was limited.
Although the show of samples of both red and white was
small, the demands for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely
Monday's decline in the quotations.
Foreign wheat, the supply of which was extensive, met
a very dull sale, and inferior qualities were offering on
rather lower terms.

There was only a limited quantity of barley in the mar-
ket, and most kinds realised last week's currency.
We had a dull inquiry for malt, at barely late rates.
Oats were in moderate request, at full prices. The show
of foreign was good.
Beans, peas, and flour were a slow sale, on former terms.
GENERAL AVERAGE PRICES OF BRITISH CORN
For the week ended June 4, 1858, made up from the Re-
turns of the Inspectors in the different Cities and Towns in
England and Wales, per Imperial Quarter.

" BOMBAY, MAY 8.

" The news which during the past fortnight has reached
ua from the various localities in which British troops are
combining with tho enemy and with the intense and male-
ficent heat of the weather is, en the whole, of a checquered
114pecti. During the latter days of April two reverses were
Inperienced by our arms---one in Oude, the other in Behar.
each case the loss of pratige was greater than the loss of
officers and men, yet that was far from inconsiderable.

THE CONTROL OF THE ARMY.

Sir J. WALSH asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
qui-r whether is was in the contemplation of the Go-
vernment to take any steps in consequence of the reso-
lution, which passed the house on Tuesday, in favour of
placing the whole administration and control of the
army under the undivided authority of a single Minister ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that, considering the importance of the question that
night under discussion, and the comparatively small and
bare majority of the house by which the motion was
carried, her Majesty's Government did not think it
their duty to recommend any measures being taken on
that vote. (Ob, ob, and Hear, hear.)
Mr. P. O'BRIEN asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer if the house would have another opportunity of
coming to a.-vote on the subject of the hon. member for
Bocimin's resolution referred to ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
could only state that it was not the intention of her
Majesty's Government to take any measures in or out
of thehouse in reference to the decision arrived at on the
motion of the boa. member for Bodmin on Tuesday last.
London, England, 1858-06-04

CHINA.

Mr. KINGLAKE asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether any despatches had been received
from Lord Elgin, and especially any despatches commu-
nicating the fact of a rupture of the negotiations which
had been opened with the Government of the Em-
peror of China ; and, if so, whether there would
be any objection to lay upon the table of the house
copies of such despatches, and of any other correspon-
dence respecting our differences with China : And whe-
ther, consistently with due regard to the public service,
be could now state the intentions of her Majesty's Go-
vernment with respect to the prosecution of our demands
against the Emperor of China I
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
hon. member wai under an erroneous impression in sup-
wsing there was a rupture of negotiations in China.
On the contrary, what the Emperor of China
had done was not to send a Minister of State
to meet Lard Elgin at Shanghai, but to Canton, where
he bad a•iked Lord Elgin to return and meet
Life, but Lord Elgin had advanced towards the north.
With reference to the prosecution of our demands, he
most remind the hon. gentleman her Majesty's Govern-
ment wra actingat present with alliei', and it was, there-
fore, inconvenient to lay on the table any instructions
that had been given on the subject by their predeceisors
or tivAn,elves subsequently. Under these circumstances
he must decline making the statement referred to.
EDUCATION—THE PAPER DUTIES.

- _
Mr. M. GIBSON gave notice that in consequence of
supply on the education vote, he should call
the attention of the house to the inconsistency of
'rrrz-intairling the paper duties in reference to the efforts
made' DY' Parliament to promote edu ation, and he should
'nova a r"u4ntion that the permanent continuance of
tea paper duty 'P.-AR a source of revenue that was impo-
litic, and that storm. Anancial arrangement should be
made for dispensing with it on an early day. (Hear.)

APPOINTMENT OF 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 had been
refused to that gentleman ? and under what peculiar cir-
cumstances, and upon what grounds, a foreigner had
been appointed to an American consulate ?
Mr. S. FITZGERALD said he had to inform the
house that Mr. Tulin, recently at Oran, had been ap-
pointed vice-consul at Mobile. It was true that the
certificate of naturalisation had been refused to that gen-
' tleman, because, in ()Her to come under the act for the
naturalisation of foreigners, it was necessary that the
persons applying should have been some time resident in
this country. In reference to the last part of the quer-
tion he had to state, in the first instance, that there
was nothing in the law 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 for 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 LEGISLATION.

Mr. AYRTON gave notice that on Monday next he
should call the attention of the noble lord at the head of
the Board of Control, who would then probably Us in
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.

RUMOURED RECALL OF MARSHAL

PELISSIER.

Among the On dits current for several days past
in Paris is one that Marshal Pelissier has been re-
called from his post of Ambassador at London, in

consequence of the courtesies exchanged between
him and the Duke d'Aumale, and, in particular,
his having met the Prince at a private dinner
party. Nothing is more probable than that this
Court was not over-pleased at the tenderness
so unexpeo' edly exhibited by the Marshal on the
occasion of the meaing, but the rumours of re-
call originated perhaps in the angry comments
of some over-zealous courtier. It is denied that
the Marshal is recalled, though it is not unlikely
that remonstrances were addressed to him by the
Foreign-office on the necessity of always placing
public above private feeling, however respectable
this might he ; and that the Marshal replied to the
admonition in a rough and laconic style, which is
not always found in diplomatic correspondence.
The Emperor is far too sensible a man to allow his
Ambassador to be dismissed for merely showing
respect to the Duke d'A.unaale ; and Pelissier is
too spirited to accept quietly a lecture from the
chief of the Foreign-office on the impropriety of
guarding too faithfully the memory of past favours,
and, generally, ou the crime of gratitude. If we
can give credit to what semi-official authority says,
you are not likely, ou this account at least, to lose
Marshal Pelissier.

MARSEILLES, JUNE 2.
Accounts have been received from Constanti-
nople to the 20th ult. General Abdi Pacha, who
was wounded in the late affairs with the Monte-
negrins, died on the 28th ult., at Scutari. The
Mussulmans evince great indignation towards
Montenegro. Three steamers have been de-
spatched with reinforcements to Candia. The
accounts from Athens are to the 28th. The
Esperance states that the Candiote insurgents
have been reinforced, one influential chief having
joined with 1,000 men. Prince Vogorides has
arriv:l at Marseilles from Constantinople.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Since Monday the receipts of English wheat, eoastwise,
have been moderate, and the supply received fresh up to-
day by land carriage from Essex an I Kent was limited'
Although the show of samples of both red and white was
small, the demands for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely
Monday's decline in the quotations.
Foreign wheat, the supply of which was extensive, met
a very dull sale, and inferior qualities were offering on
rather lower terms.

There was only a limited quantity of barley in the mar-
ket, and most kinds realised last week's currency.
'We had a dull inquiry for malt, at barely late rates.
Oats were in moderate request, at full prices. The show

WEEDON,

Mr. NICOLL asked the Secret try of State if his atten-
tion had been called to a report that an officer high in
the pubLe service hart recently absconded ; and if it were
true that the principal books and acc )unti at the
establishment at Weedon had f ,r nearly

during which period a complete stock-taking of stores
La.! not been effected: and, in the event there bring

INDIAN CIVIL. SERVICE EXA 11111 VA
. _ TIONS.- - - - -

- The following is a copy of a letter from. the Earl
of Ellenborthigh to the chairman and deputy-
chairman of the Court of Directors of the East
India Company relative to the regulations framed
by the board for examination ('f candidates for
appointments to the civil service of the company :

" India Board, May 5.
" Gentlemen,— I beg to transmit you a copy of the
paper laid before ParhamEnt with respect to the exami-
nations of candidates for the civil service for this year.
"You will perceive that I have this year placed the
e:;.arninations under the Civil Service Commis:ioners,
and have also re-established the second examination,
which was a pact of the original plan.
" I regret that the preliminary anrouncernent, pub-
lished before I came into office, precluded me from doing
more than I have done.

" If I should remain in office for another year I pro-
pose making material alterations in the subject of the
first examination, and fixing the second examination at
a greater dlstanne of time from the first, as well as mak-
ing it much more severe ; so that at least we may, by
this new system, obtain civil servants as competent, as
far as mere education can make them so, as the great
majority of those Ne ho were furnished by Haileybury
College.

" I cannot but think that no Examination can test the
possession by a candidate of the higher qualities required
in one who may exercise a great influence over the well-
being of the people of India ; and I fear we may here-
after have to regret the departure from a system which,
whatever may have been its theoretical defects, and
whatever may have been its practical inconveniences,
gave us, no doubt, a constant succession of civil ser-
vants distinguished by the characteristic qualities of
English gentlemen.—l have, &e.,

" The editor has conferred a great boon by translating this little book
and by laving bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers
wh' profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no
other object than to fill their own purses. This volume is well cal-
culated to put an end to the emnyrical system of treating Sperina-
torrhcea, and to place the treatment upon a more rational and phy-
siological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good."—Medical
