successful. (Hear, hear.)
Sir W. WILLIAMS concurred in what his hon. and gal-
lant friend had said with respect to the advantage to be de-
rived from the establishment of rifle corps. He looked upon
the yeomanry as a most useful and valuable corps.
Mr. AYRTON appealed to the hon. member for Bristol
to withdraw his motion, and to ask for a committee to con-
sider the propriety of establishing rifle corps throughout the
country. He himself was in favour of a volunteer force for
the defence of the country; but the yeomanry was a volun-
teer corps, and for that reason ought to be maintained.
Mr. BERKELEY withdrew his amendment, having,
as he said, attained his object—namely, to elicit an expres •
sion of opinion touching the necessity for rifle practice.
The vote was then agreed to.
On the motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, the Chairman reported
progress, and the house resumed.

THE APPOINTMENT .OF SIR ROBERT HAMILTON.
—The appointment of Sir R. Hamilton.to a provisional seat
in the Council of the Governor-General of India is to be
commended. Sir R. Hamilton has rendered great services
to his country by his political management of the Central
Indian Provinces • and it is desirable that the Council of the
Governor-General of India should always contain at least
one member conversant with the affairs of the native States.
It is probable that the appointment of Mr. Montgomery to
the Lieutenant-Governorship of the' North-Western Pro-
vinces will enable Sir R. Hamilton to take his seat as soon
as he can proceed to Calcutta for the purpose. This will
involve tho appointment of another provisional member of
Council ; and as, in ordinary course, the next vacancy will
be that of Sir J. Outram, now senior member of Council,
we presume that the next nomination will be that of a
military officer.—Overland Mail.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills--
Shortness of Breath, Colds, Coughs.—Thousands of testi-
monials can be produced to prove the power possessed by
these corrective remedies in asthma, incipient consump-
tion, and all disorders of the chest and lungs. The Oint-
ment, well rubbed upon the chest and back, penetrating
the skin, is absorbed and carried directly to the lungs,
where, in immediate contact with the whole mass of circu-
lating blood, it neutralises or expels any impurities which
are the foundation of consumption, asthma, bronchitis,
pneumonia, &c. All pulmonary complaints aro thus easily
cured. The asthmatic chest, heightened to suffocation in
foggy, damp weather, is liberated-by Holloway's Ointment
and t Pills, which alike cure the short dry consumptive
cough and the heavy expectoration attending bronchitis.
