THE GREAT WROUGHT IRON GUN.
Lord RAVENSWORVI inquired of the Secretary
of State for War whether it was the intention of the
Government to send the monster gun, cast in the Mer-
sey Iron Works, to China, in fulfilment of a promise
which had been given that it should be used against the
enemy ; and also why a contract had been entered into
with an American gentleman for the manufacture of
several guns of large calibre iu that country, instead of
the contract being placed in the hands of an English firm?
PANMURE said that experiments with the
gun had been made which fully proved its great
value and power, but he thought there was
no necessity for conveying a piece of ordnance of such
enormous weight and calibre to China. He was not
prepared to give a pledge that the gun should be used
in China. The reason the gun was not sent out during
the late war in Russia was, that before the car-
riage and other necessaries were completed, the
war was happily brought to a close. With regard to
the second question, a gentleman of the name of East-
man had discovered certain improvements, which he had
patented, in the manufacture of guns of large size, and
submitted them to the Government. The subject had
been referred to a committee, who reported so favour-
ably of the invention, that Mr. Eastman received
orders from her Majesty's Government for six
guns. The guns bad been received, and he be-
lieved that the principle upon which they were constructed
was generally approved. The guns could undoubtedly
have been cast in this country, but as Mr. Eastman
possessed a patent, he had a perfect right to cast the
guns where he thought fit.

THE CASE OF MR. F. B. DIXON.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE moved for a copy of the
memorial of F. B. Dixon, Esq., of Castletown House,
Darrow, Queen's County, to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, delivered to his excellency ou or about the 13th
July, 1854, prayinc, for an inquiry into the conduct of
David B. Frank, isq., stipendiary magistrate, who had
illegally arrested and imprisoned the memorialist's son,
a child of between 6 and 7 years of age, and committed
other acts contrary to law, in connection with the pro-
secution of the memorialist on a false charge of conspi-
racy to murder one Thomas Brophy, of which charge he
was acquitted at the Spring assizes of Maryborough, in
1854 ; also copies of a memorial of Mr. Dixon to the
Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, dated the 6th of
Dec., 1856, and the answer thereto. His lordship said
that the case appeared to him to be one of considerable
injustice and oppression.
Lord ST. GERMANS said that if his noble friend
thought Mr. Dixon had been aggrieved he had done only
his duty in bringing the matter forward. It was quite
true that Mr. Dixon was indicted as stated, and that he
obtained damages against the stipendiary magistrate for
false imprisonment, and against the proprietor of a news-
paper for libel. Still, it was hardly fair to bring against
Mr. Franks charges which there was no opportunity of
answering. He believed Mr. Franks to be a gentleman
of the highest integrity and impartiality, and that he
had been actuated by no personal feeling in this case,

Petitions were presented in favour of the exemption
of literary society buildings from local rating; against the
Superannuation Civil Service Act; from medical officers
of unions praying for relief of their grievances ; in
favour of the ballot ; against the trading of opium with
China ; in favour of Mr. Headlam's, and against Lord
Elcho's Medical Profession Bill. ; &c. ke.
ROCHDALE ELECTION PETITION.
Colonel FRENCH called the attention of the house
to the closing of the committee room by the Rochdale
Election Committee, on Saturday last, against members
of that house. He was not aware that committees of the
house bad greater powers than the house itself possessed of
excluding members from its proceedings. He alluded
to the two modes of electing committees, viz , general
and select, and be proceeded to refer to the course adopted
by the Rochdale committee in excluding members. He
denied their right to exclude honourable members,
but he thought it better to defer to the wishes
of the committee, and put a question to-night
as to the privilege of members. Ho asked
the Speaker whether the committee had power di-
rectly or indirectly to constitute itself into a secret
tribunal ? (Hear, hear.)
Mr. HENLEY, as chairman of the committee, de.
fended the course adopted by them as the one most likely
to attain the objects of the house. The gallant colonel
was informed that the committee had no wish to exclude
hon. members of that house, bat members themselves
gave a remarkable confirmation of the propriety of the
decision of the committee by asbtaining from entering
the room. The object the committee had in view on
Sunday had been attained, and the committee was now
open for hon. members.

The SPEAKER said that the rule had been distinctly
laid down that members could not be excluded from the
committee except on application to the house.
ORDER OF VALOUR.
In answer to a question from Colonel FETCNCII,
Sir B. HALL said that he made provisions for pro-
viding as much accommodation as possible for the
distribution of the order of valour by the Queen on
Friday next in Hyde-park. There would be a centre
compartment for the Queen, and two others oa
the right and on the left to accommodate the corps
diplomatique, the officers of state past and present,
distinguished laymen, and military officers, including
the relations of those who were to receive the deco-
ration. Independant of that there would be two wings or
open conapartments north and south capable of
holding 7,000 or 8,000 persons. The admission would be
by ticket to be applied for at the Quartermaster General's
office, Horse Guards. Any peer or member of Parlia-
ment desirous of attending, must make application be-
fore Wednesday evening. Independent of the accommo-
dation he had mentioned there would be a large space
devoted to the
In answer to a question from an hon. MBICBER,
Sir B. HALL said the accommodation would be the
same for ladies as gentlemen. Any gentleman desire'',
of taking a female friend—(laughter)—or any femal •
member of his family, had only to make that intimation
to the Quartermaster-General, and he had no doubt
tickets would be forwarded him.

CONVICTS, &a. (IRELAND).
Mr. MACARTNEY moved for returns of all convicts
sentenced to transportation or penal servitude, confined
in the several county gaols in Ireland on the lit day of
Nov., 1856 ; specifying the date of conviction, age, and
period of sentence of each convict : of all other pri-
soners convicted by a jury and undergoing punishment
in the several county gaols in Ireland on the Ist day of
Nov., 1852, specifying the date of conviction and extent
of punishment : showing the entire cost of maintaining
all convicts and all other prisoners convicted by a jury,
confined in the several county gaols in Ireland, for
the years 1852, 1853, 1854, 1855, and 1856, to the
31st day of December last, paid out of county ,rates :
of all sums repaid to counties in Ireland from the Con.
solidated Fund for the maintenance of convicts and mis-
demeanants) if any payment made) daring said years ;
and, of all sums paid out of the Consolidated Fund to re-
imburse the several counties in England and Wales for
the maintenance of convicts and convicted misdemean-
ants confined in the several gaols during the said years ;
such return to specify the number in each class, and the
average cost per head (in continuation of Parliamentary
paper, No. 412, of session 1858).
CANADIAN RIFLES.

Mr. C. FITZ WILLIAM asked the Under Secretary
for War whether the Canadian Rifles, now proceeding to
the Red River, had been sent at the request of the Had-
son's Bay Company, and whether for the purpose of pro-
tecting the trade of the company in consequence--
of infor-
mation received that any portion' of the territory north
of the boundary line was likely to be or had already been
occupied by settlers from the United States t
Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the Canadian Rifles
had been sent to the Red River as stated,
but not in
consequence of any infringement of the British territory'
by settlers from the United States but merely for gene-
ral purposes, and because it was but
desirable to leave
so largo a
territory unprotected.
It: was no new oc-
currence.

Sir E jrAYES asked the C!sief Secretary for Ireland
E.
whether he intended to introduce a measure, during the
present session, for the better distribution of the consta-
bulary force in Ireland I
Mr. H. HERBERT said it was his intention soon to
introduce such a bill.
_ ISLAND OF PERIM.

Mr. J. WHITE asked the President of the Board of
Control, seeing that the Island of Perim, in the Straits
of Bab el Mandeb, had been recently occupied in the
name of the British Crown, whether the privileges of a
Free Port had been or would be accorded thereto.
Mr. V, SMITH said that the island in question bad
not been recently occupied in the British name. It was
occupied in 1799 by the Indian Government, and was
6iven up in 1801 by the Marquis of Wellesley. It was

Mr. PALK said that Sir Charles Barry was simply a
person employed by the Government and the house, and
the First Commissioner would therefore lia,ve no dn.
culty in restraining him if he pleased.
Sir B. HALL—When he said that he would restrain
Sir Charles as far asihe was able, he was referring to the
difficulty of restraining an architect, which must be
known to every hon. gentleman who had employed one
without having a distinct plan and detailed specifications.
(Hear, hear.) The clock, too, illustrated the unfortunate
character of the plan which had been adopted with regard
to the New Palace. The proper course would have been
to cast the bells first, and then to have made the clock ;
whereas they had got the clock first and were now wait
ing for the bells. All that now remained to be done was
to cast two quarter bells, and he hoped that in the course
of three or four months the hon. gentleman would be able
to see the clock at work, and to hear the chimes.
Mr. H. DRUMMOND drew attention to an item of
1,3001. odd for designing plate, linen, crockery, &c., for
the kitchen. That was certainlya, very remarkable charge.
At the same time, he did not think that Sir Charles
Barry bad been justly treated. The sum offered him

order that the house might see the whole 0
under this head. With respect to the fur'
Speaker's house it would be supplied under the e qouf
direction,
not of Sir C. Barry, but of the Board of Works, and the
estimate would not be exceeded.
Mr. B. HOPE also called attention to the item of
1,3001. for furnishien designs for the plate, linen ,
CroCI.•-
ery, &c., ordered by the Kitelien Committee.
Mr. WILSON said that 1,300./. was the price of the
articles on which Sir C. Barry claimed commission not
the amount of the commission itself, as the hon. gentle-
man seemed to suppose.
Mr. BRISCOE protested against the unsatisfactory
character of the discussion. The original 811(21 proposed
for rebuilding the Houses of Parliament was 200,000/.
The sum already expended had greatly exceeded two
millions; and they had, after all, had no positive assur-
ance that the present vote would be the last. He Aram ap-
prehensive that a very great expenditure would be in -
curred on the designs recently exhibited in Watreineter I

Mr. MOWBRAY asked why the Irish estimates were
not as regularly and accurately made out as the other
estimates ; for in addition to the estimates there was put
down "five per cent, for contingencies."
Mr. WILLIANIS wished to have an explanation of
the sum of 10,500/. for the offices and schools of the Na-
tiona Education Board. He thought that Ireland should
support her own lunatic asylums as well as England and
Scotland, and objected to the items in the vote for the
maintenance of the mock royalty in Dublin.
Mr. BAGWELL said they paid for their own lunatic
asylums in Ireland. The money advanced for the build-
ings was paid back by the counties.
Mr. WILSON said that the facts of the case with
respect to tho lunatic asylums were these :—The Go-
vernment advanced 200,0001. for the erection of the
buildings, but in consequence of a flaw in the Act of
Parliament, that sum of 200,0001. was in considerable
jeopardy. An Act of Parliament was brought in to cor-
rect that flaw; but several Irish members objected, and
said, " We do not object to pay our just debts with re-
gard to the erection of these buildings, but we have a
claim in consequence of the bad manner in which these
buildings have been erected." Commissioners were
therefore sent to visit the asylums, and to report how
far these claims were just. These commissioners made
a report that a sum of 17,0001. ought to be wiped off en
account of repairs and additions which were not made,
but which the commissioners thought ought to he com-
pleted. With regard to the Dublin hospitals, the Go-
vernment only bowed to the decision of a committee
which sat on the subject. With regard to the 5 per cent.
contingencies, they were no addition to the vote. With
regard to the item for the Board of Education in Ire-
land, it was thought to be more economical and more
satisfactory in every respect that the boards of works in
England and Ireland respectively should have their own
architects, &c. With regard to the Encumbered Estates
Court, it was notorious that the present court was quite
insufficient for the purpose, and, though the Encum-
bered Estates Court might itself cease to exist, it was
not likely that their functions would cease.

After some further discussion the vote was agreed to.
87,9671. for the salaries and expenses of the officers of
,he two houses of Parliament.

15,9501,, for the salaries and expenses of the Treasury.
16,4661., for the salaries and expenses of the office of
he Secretary of State for the Home Department.
14,1691. for the Department of Foreign Affairs.

20,1601. for the Department of the Colonies.
46,4111. for the Privy Council and Committee •f the
Council of Lade.

1,700/. for the office of the Lord Privy Seal.
11,5101. for the office of tho Paymaster-General.
4,218/. for the office of Comptroller-General of the
Exchequer.
81,117/. for the office of Commissioner of Works and
Buildings.
On the next vote,
15,1451. for the salaries and expenses of the office of
of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and Land
Revenues,
Mr. CAIRD c%lled attention to the increase in the
revenue of the Crown lands, and to the decrease which
had been paid into the Exchequer. Although the in-
crease in the revenue had been more than 20,009/ in one
Year, yet the • proceeds to the Exchequer had been
2,000/. less. The royal forests did not supply one
fiftieth part of the oak required for the navy. The
l'avy was not built of British oak ; it nearly all came
from the continent. The royal forests were most un-
profitable estates. At present they yielded about 3s.

Mr. BLACKBURN complained that 17,000/. had
been already voted for repairs to lunatic asylums in
Ireland, owing to the neglect of that board.
The vote was then agreed to.
A vote for 26,2651. was then taken for the expenses
of the commission for auditing public accounts.
Several other votes were then agreed to, including the
charges for the Inclosure and Drainage Commissioners,
the Registration Commission (Ireland), and 8,901/. for
the expenses of the National Debt Commissioners. _

On a vote of 360,2721. for printing and stationery in
connection with the Houses of Parliament,
Mr. J. EWART called attention to this sum, and
suggested that some supervision should be adopted to
prevents its continued increase.

Sir F. BARING said that in 1848 the Treasury laid
down some checks with reference to this expenditure,
which in four years after reduced it by 80,0001. Since
1852, owing to the war, the amount had doubled. He
asked if the Government approved of the suggestions of
the comptroller of the stationery department relative to
the reductimi of the expenditure, and if they were pre-
pared to adopt them ?
Mr. WILSON said that in a day or two a paper would
be laid on the table showing at one view the expenditure
of each department, which would in future accompany
the estimates. He thought it would be a great chock on
the expenditure. The printing committee would shortly
sit to consider the question. The increase since 1352
was more apparent than real, because many of the large
sums now in this vote were charged under different
heads.

Things are very dull just now. Theta is an end

The Chinese affair drags on so heavily chat we can
scarcely expect the public to be very Eager about

occasional wildness, and all the ultimate docility

Britannia !" and " Rule, Columbia !" have be-
come the national airs of tho United States. In the
absence of more stirring, but less gratifying intel-
ligence, we can do no more than call particular at-
tention to the report which we print this day from
the N CM York Herald of the festivities at 'Wash-
ington held under the auspices of Lord Napier, the
English Ambassador, on the anniversary of the
birthday of our English Queen.
Our American friends as far excel us in the
style of their Court Circulars as they do in yacht-
building, lock-picking, and revolvers. The docu-
ment, which will be found in another portion of
our columns, actually introduces us into the best
society at Washington. The acute, energetic, fea-
tures of the men, the grace of the ladies, the keen-
ness of their repartees, the majesty of their busts,
the luxuriance of their hair, their occasional em-
bonpoint, and invariable charm will here be found
depicted with a graphic power far beyond the reach
of our own domestic Jenkins. 'Tis a perfect gal-
lery of photographs. Lot us pick out a few charac-
ters at random I and, first, we should be worse than
ungrateful if we did not acknowledge the handsome
manner in which Lord and Lady Napier are spoken
of by the American chronicler of the revels. On
that memorable night at " Fish-house" the aspect
of the place " astonished some and delightdd all ;
it had a bright, fresh, and janty look." Lord Na-
pier is pronounced to be every inch a nobleman,
and, should auy New Yorker entertain any doubt
upon the subject, he is told " to go to Brady's,"
and to see the inimitable photograph of his Lord-
ship suspended there. Lady Napier, we are told,
is of medium height and symmetrical figure ; " the
Winning smile that plays over her fine features is
the reflex of the happy disposition within." From
Lord Napier and his fair lady we pass by an easy
transition to the rest of the Corps Diploinatiqlte.
The French Minister, Count Sartiges, " has a spice
of hauteur in his manners that does very well in
an Ambassador." The choicest flowers of the
chronicler's rhetoric, however, are reserved for the
Ambassadress. " His Countess, e do., ant Miss
Thorndike, was one of the ornaments of the ball.
somewhat Though stout for so young a person, her
claims to beauty are undeniable. Her bust is mag-
nificent, and her face is singularly attractive, from
its expression of real good nature." The Russian
Minister's wife too, aufrefois Miss Thompson, of
Massachusetts, was exceedingly affable and gay ;
but "perhaps this was the result of a hint from
her diplomatic spouse." The Washington, writer
is at great pains to tell us how Baron Stoeckel
travelled all night from. New York to Wash-
ington, in order t 3 be present at the fete
of the English ;Ambassador, " lest any mistake
should arise as to the attitude of his Court in re-
ference to the dispute with China.', On the other
hand—and we confe's that, in a reciprocal spirit,
we cannot look upon such a demonstration without
suspicion—Madame Cramer, the wife of a Secre-
tary of the Russian Legation, wore her hair a /cc

Mr. ANDREW', after expressing his regret for the
unavoidable absence of Lord Stanley, said that for
some years it had been considered a great national
object to secure an alternative short route to India,
but that recently the establishment of the route by
the Euphrates had become more and more neces-
sary, and more especially since it had been deter-
mined to open up the Valley of the Indus by the
application of steam. The great traffic which
would pour down this valley from Central Asia and
the Punjaub, once flowing towards Kurrachee,
would naturally seek an outlet by the sister valley
of the Euphrates, at least the lighter and more
valuable products as well as the mails and passen-
gers ; but the support of the government was not
sought ou commercial grounds. That support Was
not sought alone on the ground of the political im-
portance of this ancient line of communication.
The grand object was to connect England with the
north-west frontier of India, by steam transit
through the Euphrates and Indus Vallies. The
latter would render moveable to either the Kyber
or the Bolan, the two gates of India, the flower of
the British army cantoned in the Punjaub, and
connected by the Euphrates line by means of
steamers, the flank and rear would be threatened
of any force advancing through Persia towards
India. So that the invasion of India by this great
scheme would be placed beyond even speculation,
and it would be evident by the great army
of India of 300,060 men being united by
this means to the army in England thelmutual sup-
port they would render each other would quad-
ruple the power and ascendancy of this country,
and promote powerfully the progress, the freedom,
and the peace of the world. The countries to be
traversed were the richest and most ancient in the
world, and might again become the granaries of
Europe, and not only supply us with wheat, but
with cotton of excellent quality, and his gallant
friend General Chesney, who had recently visited
these regions, would tell them that there were
hundreds of thousands of camel-loads of this valu-
able commodity rotting on the ground from the
want of the means of transport. Sir W. F. Wil-
liams, of Kars, would tell them there was no diffi-
culty in dealing with the Arabs if they were fairly
treated. The Lord Mayor, who had had intimate
commercial relations withthe East, and Mr. Lynch,
of Baridad, who had for many years traded with
the Arabs, would speak to the honesty and trust-
worthiness of the Arab. As to physical difficulty
there was none—the line had been surveyed and
proved to be singularly easy. Her Majesty's Go-
vernment had given their powerful influence and
support in obtaining the finnan and concession.
They had placed her Majesty's ship Stromboli at
the disposal of General Chesney and Sir John
and the engineering staff, and Lord Strat-
ford de Redcliffe had lent his powerful advocacy
with tha Porte. He (Mr. Andrews) was deeply
grateful for the assistance thus afforded them, but
they had had now arrived at that point when some-
thing more Was absolutely necessary, and that was
the pecuniary support of government to enable the
capital to be raised for theprosecution of the work.
It was not a -matter for private individuals to
undertake. If they wanted an investment for their
funds they would certainly not choose Turkish
Arabia. The establishment of a steam route by the
Euphrates had been placed before the public and
the Government. Many chambers of commerce
and other influential associations had already me-
morialised the Government in favour of granting
pecuniary aid ; and it was believed the country was
anxious that this route should be carried out by
Englishmen, and it now rested with the Govern-
ment to say whether they concurred in the impor-
tance of the work, and if so, whether they would be
prepared to recommend such an amount of pecu-
niary assistance, whether by guarantee or other-
wise, as would enable this, the most important
undertaking ever submitted to their consideration,
to be proceeded with.
Sir W. F. Williams, of Kars, stated that during
his long residence amongst the Arabs he experienced
no difficulty in dealing with them, or in procuring
during his excavations in Susa any number of work-
men I,
he might. require ; and he also pointed out the'
great importance of the proposed harbour'of &len-
cia, as there was not a single good harbour on the
Syrian coast.
Lord Palmerston assured the deputation that the
Government were fully alive to the great impor-
tance of the Euphrates route ; that they had sup-
ported, and would continue to support it ; but ho
could not give an opinion as to giving the guarantee
on the capital without consulting his colleagues, and
requested Mr. Andrew to put his proposition in
writing, and that it should have a proper amount of
consideration, and that Government would be happy
to aid it if in their power.
Mr. Andrew having thanked his lordthip for the
courtesy afforded to the deputation, the deputation
withdrew, much gratified by the manner
_in which
they had been received.

The vote was then agreed to.
On a vote of 83,085/. for postages of the several
departments,
' Mr. BENTINCK considered that this sum ought not
to be iu the estimates. Ile thought the system of each
department paying their own postages liable to abuse.
Mr. WILSON said that it was adopted to test the
penny postage. It was merely one account against the
other, and there was really nothing objectionable in the
plan. It was convenient that the public should know
tho exact Parninds of the Post-office.
Mr. DET'TTINCK said ho was ono of thoso who con-
side red the penny postage one of the greatest financial
ern )rs of the age.

Ir. ROEBUCK approved of the present estimates,
bee ause it was a check on the postage expenditure of

ar nbassador's tag ; in many cases lace and other parcels
I laving been sent by it, and he believed in one instance
'a pianoforte WAS sent ,by it, and in another a horse.
