THE PERSIAN WAR.

The bill as amended was considered.
Mr. WESTLIEA.D moved a clause in lieu of clause
91, relative to the deposit of records, wills, and all other
documents in the district registry, so•as to be easy of
reference.
After some remarks from the ATTORNEY-GENE-
RAL,
Mr. WESTHEA D withdrew the clause on the under-
standing that words should be introduced into clause 91
to carry out the object he had in view where practicable.
Mr. WEST HEAD then proposed a clause giving com-
pensation to the four advocates now enjoying the right
of Exclusive audience in the courts of the province of
York and diocese of Ripon.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the clause
which was negatived without a division.
Mr. AY RTON moved the introduction of the follow-
ing clause :—" That every person, to whom any com-
pensation shall be granted under this Act, shall, at all
times when called upon, he liable to fill any public office
or situation in England under the Crown for which his
previous services in any office abolished by this Act may
render him eligible ; and that if he shall decline, when
called upon so to do, to take upon himself such office or
situation, and execute the duties thereof satisfactorily,
being in a competent state of health, he shall forfeit his
right to any compensation or allowances which may have
been granted to bim in respect of such previous services,
under sec. 19, 4 and 5 Will. 4, cap. 24.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the statutes
did not apply to cases of this kind, where compensa-
tion was to be given for a valuable consideration. He
approved of the principle, and saw no great objection
to its introduction into the bill.
Sir J. GRAITANI, the author of the clause referred
to in the 4th and sth William IV., thought its salutary
principle should be applied to cases of this kind as well
as to the servants of the Crown, whose particular case
it was introduced to meet.
Mr. WIGRAIVI thought some difficulty would be ex-
perienced in carrying out this clause in the particular
cases alluded to under the bill.
Mr. ROEBUCK supported the principle of such
clauses, which be considered very necessary. It would
be a mere sham to pass them if in the words of the At-
torney-General, on a former occasion, they were so soon.
'to become rusty. He should next session move for a
return of the amount of compensation to be paid
under the bill, when he thought it would be found that
we had paid dearly for the change.
Mr. HENLEY supported the principle of the clause,
but thought there would be great difficulty in carrying
it out, and therefore he should vote against it.
Mr. WILSON and Mr. E. DENISON supported the
the clause.
After a few words from Mr. SPOONER,
The clause was agreed to and added to the bill.
Mr. HADFIELD moved an amendment in clause
45, with the view of throwing open the Courts of
Admiralty and Arches to all practising solicitors and
Worrier.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that if the
Divorce and Matrimonial Causes bifl passed, that court
would be thrown open. He had no objection to adopt
the amendment so far as it related to the Court of
Admiralty.
- The amendment so modified was agreed to.
Sir F. KELLY moved the addition of the following
to clause 56 :—And every judge of county courts, having
jurisdiction under this act, whose salary shall be less
than filteeen hundred pounds a year, shall be paid out
of the testamentary fee fund, in lieu of any fees for the
business done by him under this act, so much money
annually as, together with his salary as a county court
judge, shall amount to fifteen hundred pounds.
Mr. WILSON objected to the question of the salaries
of the county court judges being raised in this indirect
manner. It was out of order to make such a motion,
and besides that the bill did not provide for the payment
of fees to county court judges, nor did it provide for the
creation of a testamentary fee fund, and as the money
would have to be paid out of the consolidated fund the
hon. and learned gentlemen could not propose such a
clause without the consent of the Crown.
After some remarks from Sir F. KELLY,
The SPEAKER said it would be irregular to insert
such a clause in this stage of the bill.
Sir F. KELLY then withdrew the clause, but gave
notice that he would endeavour to revive the question
on the third reading of the bi;l.
The amendment was then withdrawn.
Mr. SPOONER moved several amendments to clause
99, giving county court registrars certain fees as an in-
crease of salaries, for certain duties to be performed
under the bill.
After a discussion in which Mr. Malins, Mr. Wilson,
Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Bentinck, Mr. Ayrton, and other hon.
members took part,
The amendments were negatived on the same grounds
as the clause for increasing the salaries of the county
court judges.
Mr. SPOONER th©n moved the omission of clause
99, and complained of the manner in which his pre-
vious amendments had been received, after his under-
standing with the A ttorney-Geueral that the registrars
were to be paid for extra duties by fees.
Mr. WILSON said that last year a compact was
entered into between the registrars and the Gooernment,
that they should in future be paid a fixed salary except
for new business, not new duties. The amendments
that had been proposed could only be entertained by the
recommitment of the bill.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he was not
aware, when he introduced the bill, that such a com-
pact as that mentioned existed, as to its applicability
to this bill, lie intended for the registrars to be paid

NOTIFICATIONS.
Fort William, Foreign Department,
June 18, 185?.
No. 139.
Authentic intelligence having been received that the
ratifications of the treaty, which was signed at Paris by
the plenipotentiaries of England and Persia on the 4th
March last, were exchanged at Baghdad on the 2nd of
May, the Right Honourable the Governor-General in
Council is pleased to direct that a Royal Salute shall
be fired from the Ramparts of Fort William, as well as
at every principal station of the army in honour of the
peace which has been concluded.
No. 140.
The Right Honourable the Governor-Ganeral in
Council has had the satisfaction of announcing, from
time to time, the signal successes which have been
achieved by the combined action of the Military and
Naval Forces, under the direction of Lieutenant-General
Sir James Outram, K.C.8., on the coasts and in the
interior of Persia.
The surrender of Bushire on the 10th of December,
after a brief and ineffectual opposition ; the operations
against the Persian entrenched camp at Berazgoon ; and
the complete victory obtained over the Persian army at
Khooshab on the Bth of February ; the bombardment
and capture of Mobacureh on the 26th of March ; and
the brilliant attack, by a few hundred men, against
Ahwaz, on the Ist of April, followed by the precipitate
flight of the whole Persian army serving in that quarter,
have signally instanced the vigour, the enterprising
spirit, and the intrepidity with which the operations
against Persia, both by sea and land, have been
directed, and have earned for those who had a share
in their execution the cordial approbaiion and the
thanks of the Government of India.
The Governor-General in Council has now the
gratification of announcing that the Ratifications
of the Treaty, which was signed at Patis by the
Plenipotentiaries of England and Persia on the
4th of March last, were exchanged at Baghdad on
the 2d of May ; and the entire withdrawal of the British
forces from the soil and waters of Persia awaits only the
fulfilment of the conditions of Peace, which were accepted
by the Plenipotentiary of Persia on her behalf.
The peace which has been thus concluded accomplishes
the principal objects of the war, without needless humi-
liation to Persia, and places the relations of the British
Government with that country, both political and com-
mercial, on an improved footing.. Though the negotiations
by which this result has been obtained, were eonducted
in Europe, their rapid and unchecked progress, and their
early completion, mast be ascribed, in no small degree,
to the vigorous operations and the successful achieve-
ments of the Persian Expeditionary Force.
The brilliant reputation of Lieut.-General Sir James
Outram, K.C.8., has acquired additional lustre from
the promptitude, the vigorous energy and ability aith
which he has exercised the command entrusted to him ;
and the Governor-General in Council desires to record
his high sense of the important duties rendered by this
distinguished officer.
The Governor-General in Council deeply laments that
Major-General Stalker, C. 8., should not have lived to
witness the successful completion of the war, in the com-
mencement of which he took so prominent and conspicu-

ous a part.
His Lordship in Council cordially appreciates the z.a-
lous and active (xdrtions of Brigadier-General Have-
lock, C. 8., and commends the order and dispatch with
which the troops were /ended and formed at Mohamreh
adder his direction.

his attack on Bushire, and in the operations against
Borazgoon ; to Brigadier Wilson, K.H., who com-
manded the Brigade of Infantry at Borazzoon and Moh-
arnreh ; to Brigadiers Hamilton end Hale, who were
present with their brigades in the advance upon Mc-
harureh ; and to Brigadier Stuart, who was at the bead
of the Cavalry of the 2d Division on the same occasion :

command of the let Infantry Brigade on the lamented
death of Brigadier Stopford ; to Colonel Stisted, who led
the let Brigade, 2d Division, iu the march on Borazgoon
and the victory of Khooshab ; to Lieutenant-Colonel
Tapp, who commanded the Cavalry Brigade on the same
occasion as well as at Bushire ; and to Lieutenant-
Colonel Trevelyan, Commanding Artillery, who took a
part in every operation of the troops, except that
against Ahwaz ; to all these, whose valuable ser-
vices have been gratefully acknowledged by the
late Major-General Stalker, C. 8., and Lieut.-General
Sir James Outram, K.C.8., the Governor-General in
Council begs to offer his warmest thanks and the assur-
ance of his heartfelt approbation.
The late Major-General Stalker, and Lieut.-General
Sir James Outram, K.C.8., have expressed their obliga-
tions to the officers commanding regimentsand batteries
of Artillery on the several occasions which c,dled for
their exertions, and the Governor-General in Council
has great satisfaction in publicly tendering his best
thanks to Major Stirling, of H.M's 64th Font

78th Highlanders during the expedition to Borazgoon ;
