intention of her Majesty's Ministers to propwe any

ietioaated their intention to introduce the subjcct on an
early day. He could give no further answer.
RETURNS.
Several unopposed returns were granted.
THE STEAMSHIP AUSTRIA..

ail. SYKES, in moving for a copy of the reports of
the Eat India Company's surveyors on the screw steam-
shi2 Austria, upon which she was engaged for the con-
veyance of troops to India, complained of the misrepre-
sentations which had been made respecting that vessel.
Ile said she was a new vessel of 2,385 tons, and built and
fitted out at Greenock. Her engines were made by Messrs.
Caird and Co., of that place, men of high reputein their
profession. The vessel bad a British register, and her
owner was a naturalised Brd,i4l subj. ct. Bef.ire being
taken up as a transport to India she was surveyed by the
East India Company's engineer, as were her engines by
the assistant to the chief engineer at Woolwich Dock-
yard, and the reports which those gentlemen made of
her were entirely satisfactory. The troops embarked at
Cork, and thence the vessel sailed on the sth October.
When in the Bay of Biscay she encountered one of
those storms so common there. She was struck by a
sea which swept her decks, broke down and carried
away her bulwarks fore and aft, and compelled her to
put back to Plymouth for repairs. Oa ixamination
there her engines wero found to be unharmed, and after
the ship had undergone the necessary repairs she again
pr.ceeded on her voyage. She experienced another
storm, however, and unfortunately in the midst of it a
part of her engines gave way. The result was that the
piston of the engine went through the bottom of the
cylinder, and the vessel thus becoming perfectly help-
less was towed back to Plymouth a second time. It bad
been stated that the authorities at the India-house
ordered that a spare deck should be added to the vessel
for the increased accommodation of the troops. The
very rover:e of that was the cast.. That proposition
emanated from the owners of the ship, but the Com-
pany's surveyorc refused their permission, and happly
so, for the sea that first struck the vessel in the Bay of
&may would probably have swept into the sea the whole
20(1 or 300 soldiers who would have occupied that tem-
porary spare deck. (Hear.) He thought when the house
was in possession of the retuzna for which he was about
to move, it would see that not a shadow of blame was
attributable to the India-house in the matter. This
was scantly the occasion, or he should certainly lave
offered some severe comment upon the loose manner in
which subjects were often investigated before they were
publicly discussed. The hon. member concluded by
moving for the reports already alluded to.
Sir WILLIAM FRASER said, having had an op-
o i tunity of going on board the vessel in question on her
first return to Plymouth, after she br.d been nearly
wrecked in the Bay of Biscay, he wished to state briefly
to the house what he observed on that occasion. He
did not profess to have any great knowledge of shit .
building, but no one could have seen the state of the
vessel without being convinced that she was not at all a
ship in which to trust one of her Majesty's regiments on
a long voyage to India. (Hear.) There was Lardly a
