being medimvalr, but-he-- thought the- country- required
some other explanalon.
Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the sum of 400,0001. was
the entire entry for works at Aldershot. The first esti-
mate for the works was 250,0001. That was voted by
Parliament in 1855. During the following year it was
considered desirable to insti ute an inquiry into the best
method of constructing barrack accommodation, and the
result" was a recommendation that separate barracks
should be built for married men, quarters of a better de-
scription for the staff-sergeants, and that covered places;
should be made for drill, parade, and the use ,of the
troops in rainy weather. Consequently the estimate had
to be increased from 250,0001. to 360,0001. But the
total estimate amounted to 400,0001. The additional
40,0001. arose from the circumstance that difficulties oc-
curred in making firm foundations for the barracks. That
was an expense that could not be foreseen, arising from
unexpected causes. He believed, however, that-, consi-
dering the number of men that were accommodated at
Aldershot, the average expense per man had been less
than usual. He was informed by military authorities
that the erection of barracks for 1,000 men usually cost
95,0001. They bad had, moreover, the high authority of
the right hon. member for Droitwich, and of the hon.
member for Bath that the contracts were entered into in
the fairest manner by the Government. The right hon.
member for Droitwich had complained that the men
ere not employed in the construction of works at Al-
dershot. He (Sir J. Ramsden) held a return in hishand,
from which it appeared that the numberof men employed
in draining the parade grounds, in fortifications, and in
preparing ranges for rifle practice, amounted to 720
daily. The right hon. gentleman had also inquired into
the reason of the vote of 23,000/. for a clothing depot at
Rotherhithe. At present the central depot was 'at
Weedont and as great inconvenience had been experi-
enced, from the necessity of carrying everything to Wee-
don by land transport, the depot at Rotherhithe has been
established.

Lord C. HAMILTON remarked that now, at five mi-
nutes to 11, for the first time, they had heard some ex-
planation from the Government as to the discrepancy of
40,0001. i❑ the estimates. (Hear, hear.) If the house
were asked to pass over this irregularity, what might
tbey expect next year. He was never anxious to hamper
the proper expenditure of money for the purposes of the
army, but this was a proceeding which, during his Par-
liamentary experience of nearly 20 years, he had never
seen paralleled. Unless some more satisfactory expla-
nation were offered, he shoull consider himselt bound
to vote for the amendment.

Mr. LOCKE said he was extremely glad to find that
this discussion had taken place, as he had frequently had
reason to complain of the loose way in which the esti-
mates were framed.

After a few words from several hon. members, the
committee divided—

The grant was then agreed to, and the house resumed
BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (IRELAND

BILL.

The house want Into committee on this bill.

Mr. S. FITZGERALD objected to proceeding with
such an important measure at this early hour of the
morning (Rye minutes past twelve) ; besides nearly all
the hon. and learned members who represented Ireland
were absent. He should move that the Chairman report
progress.

Mr. MALINS did not wish to offer any factious oppo-
sition to the bill, but as he felt quite incompetent to dis-
cuss the details of it without the assistance of his hon.
and learned friends be must join in making a request not
to proceed to-night.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND re-
gretted the absence of his hon. and learned friends ; but
as they did not take any part in the former discussion
of the bill, he thought some progress ought to be made.
After further observations against proceeding with the
bill by Mr. Vance, Mr. Malins, and Mr. Henley,

The AUCORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
the bill contained about 400 clauses, and he saw no rea-
son why some progress should not have been made ; but,
under the circumstances, he would propose to report pro-
gress and resume the committee on Monday.
Mr. MALINS suggested that the Government should
take a morning sitting for the purpose of going through
all the clauses.

Tile house resumed, and immediately afterwards (at a
quarter-past 1S) adjourned to Monday.
