committol.
CONSOLIDATED FUND (A PPROPRIA.TION)
BILL.

This bill, after a short discussion, was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed.
MUTINY BILL.
The house went ir,to committee on this bill.
BOLDERO asked if the troops about to be sent
to China were to have an extra allowance of grog in con-
sequence of the climate being different to that of India,
and what arrangements bad been made for the preserva-
tion of the health of the troops I
Mr. F. PEEL said that the regiments now going out
would be paid the same as those who were now
stationed at Hong Kong. Every precaution would be
taken to preserve the health of the troops.
On the clause relative to the billeting soldiers in Scot-
land,
Sir J. ANDERSON complained that no real relief

the annoyance from private families to publicans and
sellers of spirits.
Mr. S. KNOX inquired what was to be done for the
wives at;cl families of the sol liars about to be forwarded
to China
General CODRINGTON said it would be impossible
to move troops in Scotland without billeting the
soldiers on publicans the same as in England.
Mr. EWAIIT accepted the alteration as an improve-
ment in tho right direction, but the system required en-

tire revision.
Colonel KNOX supported the clause, which was an
assimilation of the law of England, and necessary for
the tenicival of troops.
After some remLtfks frorn Col. Balder°, Gen. Cod-
rington, and Mr. Ewart in eitplanation,
The bill passed through committee.
MARINE MUTINY BILL.
This bill also passed through committee after a short
eonversatioti, iti which Captain Seobell, Admiral
Berkeley, and Mr. Chartibers took part, relative to
striking out of the billthe punishment of death where it
was tiever intended it should be carried out. Admiral
BarkeleY said OAS .7rs the bill now stood, the words were
"death, or such other piinishrrent,"
The house then resumed, and dig bills were both
ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
THE CRIMEAN COMMISSIONERS,

in re-
The CIiANCIM,LORof the EXCHEQUER,ferring to the late debate on the services of 51,r John
and Ci.lonel Tulloch, said that it was
slated in the arguments founded on the re•
pert df the general officers, that the suffering of the
army in ibe Cfluien Was mainly owing to the want of
forage, which was tradeable to the want of energy on
the part of the Commissariat Department of the Treasury
At horn?, in not lmving sent out hay from this country.
Trefe!yen lied denied the correctness of that de-
duction, and he had prepared eome papers at the requeLt
of L)rd Palmerston and himself (Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer) in explanation. He therefore moved for their
production, and asked hon. members to suspend their
Judgment on the motion until after the production of

the papers.
After some remarks from Cu!. KNOX, who contended
that Sir C. Trevelyan ought to have attended the Board
and given evidenc.,
Mr. CHAMBERS asked for information relative to
the regulation that had been laid down by the Govern.
meat for the food and clothing of our soldiers in the per-
nicioui climate of China.

—After a few words from Ger. CODRIN4TON,
The motion was agreed to.
INFANTICIDE.
Viscount RAYN HAM moved an address for return
of the number of persons convicted of irifinticide during
the years 1852 56, inclusive, together with the sentence
passed upon each person so convicted; specifying whether
such sentence has been modified or reversed, and speci-
fying, also, whether a verdict given at the trial of each
person has been accompanied by a recommendation to
mercy, and, if so, the reason or reasons, if any, alleged
for such recommendation. —Agreed to.
EAST INDIA (NAWAB OF SURAT).
Sir E. PERRY moved for a copy of the correspon-
dence between Mir Jafir Ali Khan and the Court of Di-
rectors, and between the same and the President of the
Board of Control, respecting the property of the late
Nawab of Surat, and asked Mr. Vernon Smith what
were the intentions of the Government relating thereto.
The hon, and learned hart., hi moving for the return,
entered at some length into the claim of the Nawab of

Surat, which wan filly discussed last session, and was a
repetition cf the facts then so fully stated by the various
speakers who addressed the house, and now so well
known to the public.

Sir F. KELLY also addres-,ed the house on the 'no-
tion, contending that the Act of the Indian Legisla-
ture relative to this matter would be found to be void by
the law of the country, on an appeal to the Privy
Council, relative to the persons entitled to the pension
of the Indian Government.
After some remarks from Mr. W. CHAMBERS re-
lative to the prerogative of the Crown in hearing appeals,
Mr. V. SMITH replied, and the motion was agreed to.
Tho house adjourned at 20 minutes past 6 o'cl'ck.
