HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THis DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past
twelve o'clock.

The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con-
sidered and agreed to :—Llanelly Railway and Dock (New
Lines, &c.); Monmouthshire Railway and Canal (New
Lines, &c.) ; Saint George's Harbour; Southampton and
Netley Railway ; Stourbridge Railway (Extension to
Smethwick, &c.) ; and Swansea Harbour Trust.
The M'Mahon's Estates BiU and the Rumney Railway
Bill were read a third time and passed.
THE NEW CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND.
On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a Writ was ordered to
issue for the election of a burgess to serve in Parliament
for the borough of Tamworth, vacant by the acceptance of
the office of Chief Secretary for, Ireland by Sir ROBEIVI
PEEL.

SUPPLY.
The house went into committee of supply.
On the vote of £669,956 for the completion of the esti-
mate for the packet service, there was some discussion
relative to the amount in the vote for the Galway subsidy,
&c.

Mr. PEEL stated that as this subsidy was withdrawn,
the amount on the votes for it would be struck out.
The vote was then agreed to.

On the vote of £1,000,000 for the expenses incurred in
the Chinese war,
Mr. PEEL stated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
had stated that it was his intention to ask for the vote, so
that hon. members were aware that it would be applied for.
Out of the grant of last year there was a balance of £250,000,
and there was a balance of £lBO,OOO du.e to the Indian Go-
vernment.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY expressed a hope that the pre-
sent sum would be the last the house would be called on to
vote with respect to China. He drew attention to the fact
that no less than £lBO,OOO was due to the Indian Govern-
ment for the conveyance of troops from India to China.
He strongly condemned the principle that prevailed with
reference to the continuance of the outstanding debt with
respect to the Indian Government, which was most fatal
to the finances of this country.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that there was some misunderstanding in reference
to this subject, and he contended that the £1,000,000
would cover all the expenses in regard to China.
With respect to the Indian Government this
country stood very well, and though there was a
charge of £BOO,OOO in reference to India, there was in reality
no such amount due from this Government. Under the
circumstances this could not at present butbe a satisfactory
account between this Government and the Indian Govern-
ment, and in fact he believed that the balance was in favour
of this country. He would be much disappointed if the
house should be called on to make a large vote again in
respect to the war in China which has been just concluded.
Colonel SYKES said that so long as this country per-
mitted the money in China to be collected by our country-
men and handed over to the Tartars, so long would anarchy
and bloodshed continue, and he strongly deprecated any
Interference in the affairs of China.

Mr. GREGSON inquired what amount of the money re-
ceived was to be paid to the claims of the British merchants.
The claims for Government was Z 6,000,000, and that of the
merchants £2,000,000. He trusted the latter would not be
kept out of their money for years.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
as regarded the present; vote it gave Govormnont no addi •
tional power to pay their claims. Some papers on the sub-
ject had been received at the Foreign-office, but from the
long sitting of the house he had no time to pay any atten-
tion to them. However, he hoped that he and his noble
friend the Foreign Secretary would be able to give some
consideration to them, and be able to state the course they
purposed to puKsue in a few days.
The vote was then agreed to.
