PETITIONS,

Several petitions were presented against the abolition of
church rates, against the Poor Law Removal Act, against
the Parochial Assessment Bill, in favour of a Reform Bill,

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.

Mr. E. COCHRANE gave notice that to-morrow
evening he :should move for copies of all examination
papers signed by the Civil Service Commissioners.
IMPRISONMENT FOR RELIGIOUS OPINIONS
IN SPAIN.

Sir R. PEEL vile notice that on the motion for ad-
journment to-morrow evening he would ask her ]Majesty's
Government if any correspondence had talrpu place on the
subject of the imprisonment of persons hi Spain for religious
opinions ; if so, what was the tenor, and that he would
draw the attention of the house to the matter.
"SALE OF GAS.

Mr. JACKSON asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to introduce, at an early date, a bill to remedy
the defects of existing legislation in regard to the measures
used in the sale of gas ?
Mr. CLIVE said That the act in question had not come
into operation, and' therefore it could not be ascertained
what defects existed in it. When these defects were known
then a bill might be introduced to remedy them.
THE CABLE BEWEEN MALTA AND GIBRALTAR.
In reply to Mr..CoNii,teatAar,
Mr. M. GIBSON said the persons responsible for the
safe keeping of the table were the contractors, whose inte-
rest it was to see that it was attended to. The Government
had taken the necessary steps to ascertain that it was kept
safely, and when the time came for the appointment of the
officer in question, they would take care that an efficient
person was selected.
NEW CENSUS TABLES.
In reply to Mr. KNTGHTLEY,
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that some time must elatse be-
fore the contents of these tables could be properly digested,
and he would take care as far as possible that the popula-
tion of counties proper should be correctly described.
FINSBURY-PARK.

Sir N. PETO asked what steps had been taken in the
purchase of land or otherwise for the purpose of forming
the Finsbury-park, pursuant to the Act 20 and 21 Vic., c.
159; and if no steps had been taken, whether they would
be taken, so as to carry out the provisions of the act, viz.,
five years from its passing in 1857 ; or whether it was in-
tended to apply for powers to extend the time of carrying
out the same ?
Mr. COW PER said that up to the present time no steps
had been taken in reference to this subject.
THE CUINA. WAR AND THE INDIAN
GOVERNMENT.
On the motbia for going into committee of supply on
army estimates,
Gen. PEEL asked, the Chancellor of the Exchequer what
portion of the sum of £850,000, granted by Parliament to
cover the entire expenditure on account of the China war
during the financial year 1859-60, had been appropriated to,
or is reserved for, the liquidation of the claims of
the Indian Government, on account of advances
made or expenses incurred in. India. The honour-
able and gallant member complained that there was
no *dent check on the expenditure that might take place
in regard to money advanced for the purposes of India, and,
indeed, he did not see how it could be otherwise, so
long as Government retained the power of applying a 'vote
to purposes other than that for which it was granted. He,
coral lained also generally of the unsatisfactory state of ac-
counts in respect to financial operations with reference to'

India. He considered that these army estimates were most
important, because they represented the peace establishment
of the country, as we were at peaco with the world, and
only very trifling additions could possibly be required to be
made to our military,force this year. He then proceeded
to criticiee items in the army estimates, which he con
tended Hero founded on a false principle.
Mr. BAirtING appealed to the hon. and gallant member
to postpone his remarks until he (Mr. Baring) had an
opportunity of nicking his statement. He would be able to
Chow that some of the assertions of the hon. and gallant
raeTber were not corract,

of this country and India terminated at different periods.
After a few words from Mr. DISR \ ELT,
The subject dropped.
STOVES IN GARRISONS.
Col. STUART called the attention of the house to the
new stoves or stove grates placed in the barracks in London,
Portsmouth, Chatham, and other stations ; and asked the
Under Secretary of State for War, the name of the
inventor of these stoves, the name of the cone
tractor, the cost of the stoves themselves, and the
expense of fitting them at the different stations; also,
whether any officer in command of a district, gar-
rison, or regiment, or any barrack-master in charge
of a station, had reported favourably of the experiment ;
and, whether the economy of fuel had been sufficient to
justfy the expense incurred in the alteration ?
Mr. BARING s lid the inventor of the stove was Capt.
Galion, whose name was well known to the house for the
exertions he had made to promote the comfort of the soldier.
The contractors were the Messrs. Kinnaird ; but it was
right to say that they had derived no pecuniary benefit from
it whatever. The expense for putting up the new stoves
had been considerable, but their cost was not large, being
£3 10s. for the medium and £3 15s. for the large size.
Col. GILPIN said it was the opinion of every officer at
Portsmouth that the stove was an utter failure. On one
occagion he found that a thermometer close to the aperture
where the warm air was supposed to come in stood at zero.
(Laughter.) Another thermometer at the other end of the
room showed a higher temperature.
THE HUNGARIAN NOTES.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE had a question to ask which was
strictly in. order, for it was an old constitutional maxim that
supplies ought not to be granted until grievances had been
redressed. He wished to ask the Secretary of State for the
Home Department what instructions were given is Sir
Richard Mayne in reference to the alleged manufacture of
notes in this country in the name-of Hungary, and what
eourse Sir Richard Mayne took upon those. instructions ;
and by what authority Sir Richard Mayne required the
Messrs. Day to suspend the manufacture of the notes ; and
by whom the expenses of the proteedings taken were to be
defrayed. It appeared that early in February an applica-
tion was made at the Foreign-office to the noble lord the
member for the City, by the representative of the Austrian
Government in this country, to put a stop to the manufac-
ture of these notes, which was going on at Messrs. Day's,
the lithographers. The Foreign-office—
Sir G. C. LEWIS—No, the Home Department.
Mr. DUNCOMBE—WeII, the Home Department took
the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, and they said
that the :manufacture of these notes was illegal. If that
opinion really was given, the noble lord, he thought, should
have laid the opinion on the table, and not by his statement
of the fact have prejudged 'a case whilst proceedings were
still pending. The further state of the case he (Mr. Dun-
combe) believed to be this. In February last, Sir R.Mayne,
in obedience to an order from the Home Government, paid a
visit to Messrs. Day, and required and desired them to sus-
pend the manufacture of the notes. Now, Messrs. Day were
pursuing their trade lawfully, as he fully believed it would
turn out. The notes had been ordered by M. Kossuth for his
own purposes, and what they were the house did not know.
He (Mr. Duncombe) believed, however, that a larger num-
ber of the notes wore struck off after the visit of Sir Richard
Mayne. Then, he believed, a detective was put in—(hear)---
in the disguise of a workman. At any rate a spy system had
been introduced, and at the instructions of Sir R. Mayne.
The noble lord might have received instructions from Aus-
tria to stay the issue of 'these notes, but with all his
Austrian leaning he (Mr. Duncombe) should scarcely have
suspected the noble lord of having recourse to measures of
this kind. Another question was, by whom the expenses
were to be borne. A note had been Obtained from Messrs.
Day's office by corruption and bribery. He wished to know
whether her Majesty's Government had paid for this, or
whether Austria had paid for it, for in the latter event our
police were in the pay of the Austrian Government. (Hear.)
Sums for secret service money were voted in the estimates;
possibly they were devoted to this ptu•pose among others.
He thought the circumstances of the case required a full
explanation. •
Sir G. C. LEWIS—Sir, I think there is no doubt that my
hon. friend, if he believed that any grievance existed in this
matter, exercised a constitutional privilege in bringing the
subject under the consideration of the house on the motion
for going into Committee of Supply; but -I trust, after the
simple explanation which I have it in my power to give,
that the house will be satisfied that no grievance exists. My
attention was called by Sir R. Mayne to the existence of
certain notes printed in the Hungarian language about the
sth of February, and I may say that Sir R. Mayne, myselc,
and every other person in the Home-office were equally
ignorant of the Hungarian language. (Laughter.) It was,
however, a small printed note, and signed by " Kossuth
Louis." It appeared that it was printed by Mr. Day, the
lithographer, and at my suggestion Sir R. Mayne put him-
self into communication with Mr. Day; and addressed to
hini the following letter, dated Feb. 11:
" Sir Richard Mayne requests Mr. Day will be so good
as to call here to-morrow at 12 o'clock, or as soon after as
may be convenient.
" Metropolitan Police-office, Feb. 11."
In consequence of that letter an interview took place be-
tween Mr. Day and OIL IL. m./..,e, but I do not understand
that Sir R. Mayne made any demand on Mr. Day of the
nature my hon. friend states. On the 13th February Sir
R. Mayne addressed a second letter to Mr. Day, which I sp.
prebend eontains the substance of the intimation that my
hen. friend alluded to. This is the whole that passed be-
tween Sir R. Mayne and Mr. Day :
" Sir,—l request you will detain for the present all the
Hungarian notes on your premises, as you told me yesterday
you would do if-a notice to that effect were given to you.
" I hope to see you to-morrow with reference to the in,
qairy on'which • yen are to give the information.—l am,
your obedient servant,-
" Feb. 13." "RICHARD MAYNE.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—Did you give Sir R. Mayne no
instructions ?
Sir G. C. LEWIS—! wish to say that Sir R. Mayne was
acting entirely under my instructions. (Hear, :hear.) Well,
no further interview took place between Mr. Day and Sir
RI Mayne, and nothing further passed in writing. That is
the whole extent Of the transaction between Sir R. Mayne
and Mr. bay. With regard to :any detective, lam not
,
aware of any person havin g been employed by Sir R. Mayne
in the manner my hon. friend describes... No expense has
been incurred by the Government,-and they are no parties
to:the proceedings now pending Word the Court of Chan-
cery.

Mr. DUNCOMBE—How did•tihey get the note ?
'Sir-G. C.- LEWIS—Oh! the note. (Laughter, amidst
which tile right hon. baronet sat down.) "
Mr. BRIGHT-1 think my hon. friend gave the right
hon. gentleman an opportunity to make a rather fuller
statement than he has done, and I am sorry he has not
availed himself of it. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gen-
tleman mentioned—and it was the first fact he stated—
that Sir R. Mayne called his attention to the matter of
1 these notes. I should like very much to know who first
called Sir R. Mayne's attention to them. (Hear, hear.)
Was it the noble lord at the head of the Foreign-office or
the right hon. gentleman himself to whom the noble
lord deputed the subject? Because it makes some differ-
ence in the case whether Sir Richard Mayne did this of his
own mere motion or from the orders of a superior depart-
ment. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman did not tell
us exactly how the matter stood in this respect. It ap-
pears that Sir R. Mayne had become possessed of one of
these notes. The right hon. gentleman has not informed us
how he became possessed of it. It is not to be supposed, I
presume, that the ex-Governor of Hungary sent him a
copy—(laughter)—nor is it asserted that Mr. Day sent him
one. Somebody must have been in Mr. Day's works and
abstracted a note to furnish it to Sir R. Mayne. (Hear.)
It is stated further that a police officer obtained employ-
ment with Mr. Day as a labourer at the press, and that he
took one of•the'notes belonging. to his employer—an act of
larceny, I imagine, though I hardly know what_the law-
yers would call it. (A laugh.) Certainly it would not be
a very honest act.: IE-he did not do th4t, it is said that he
must have used some paper of his own, making an impres-
sion of :the note upon it, and furnishing it to Sir R. Mayne.
If that be true, and the house will, I am sure, think it a
little impbrtant to know whether it is or not, we arrive at
this position—that in a matter which does not in the least
concern the security of the Crown- or Government of Eng-
land, but which doesinaome dereteh,e
ihteamdaoyf be,tlae affect the
interest of a foreign Government,
metropo-
litan police undertakes to introduce into the workshop of a
tradesman in this city one of his detectives in the garb of
an honest, frank labourer at aprinting-press, in order that
ho may there discover what the tradesman is doing, and .
take from his premises
.a note which may be used in a court
of justice not only against the ex-Governor of Hungary,
whose name is attached to it, but against Mr. Day himself,
(Hear.) That is contrary to all the opinions prevailing in
the country with respect to the powers of the police. (Hear,
hear.) Whatever use may be made of such a proceeding, for
the purposes of our own Government—and I do not think
it would be very desirable eves in that case—(hear, hear)
—there can -be no-question that it would be very wrong for
the Home Secretary to sanction such a proceeding on the
part of the police, for the purposes of the Austrian or any
other foreign Government. (Hear.) Of course as regards
to w
'
the main question, that will be 'settled by the court larch
it has been referred. Ido not mean to go into it, because
what that court decides we can be
well content to, agree to,
but I think the right hon. gentleman owes it to the house
to be a little more, explicit. •He ought -to tell- us whether
the Home-office, acting fur the • Foreign-office, and Sir R.
Mayne acting for the Home-office, or for the Austrian Go-
vernment, is to be permitted to..introduce into the shop of
a London tradesman a person in the garb of an honest la-
bourer, who may give evidence whereon a foreign Govern-
ment can pursue an exile who has taken .np his residers-:e
among us: (Oh, and het,r.) I' shall cay no more about
that, but the right hon. gentleman ought to make an expli-
cit statement; because, sir, if atrY Dart of this Itanaqtien is
left unexplained it, wilLercato a very sacra* inispicien against
the Goveininent throughout the entire country. (Hear.)
Ur.HENLEY—LBefore the right hon. gentlemananswers
tbo questions
put to him by the him-member for Birming-
ha. alhlitalaPit.he will allow me to make another inquiry.
/AS 1 umewstatail the aetion which he dpscribea, to hayie taken
place, an interview passes and letters pass between Sir 4,
Mayne and the tradesman employed to manufacture titose

notes. The right hon. gentleman left it in this way, with-
out giving any forther explanation. I shall not touch on
intermediate situations; but he says that Sir R. Mayne
told this tradesman not to let any of this property go from
his premises, and the right hon. gentleman adds that there
he left it. We have a right to know whether the police in
this country gives notice to a tradesman not to allow pro-
perty which he may be manufacturing in the course of busi-
ness to-leave his premises without -any criminal charge be-
ing alleged against him. We ought to know whether this
tradesman is under notice still. The right hon. gentleman
shakes his head, and therefore I presume that he is not;
but the right hon. gentleman ought to state distinctly what
the fact is. In this case it seems that the question of the
legality or otherwise of the act itself is to be left to a
civil court, and therefore the case is not the same as
one in which the transaction is a criminal one. (Hear,
hear.) I would ask the right hon. gentleman whether Six
Richard Mayne has withdrawn his notice P (Hear, hear.)
Sir G. C. LEWlS—Perhaps the house will grant me
permission to reply to the questions that have been put to
me by the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright) and
the right hon. gentleman who has just sat down. I can
state in the most confident manner my belief—l think I
may Fay my knowledge, but certainly my belief—that no
detective was used by the police in this matter, and that no
improper agent such as the hon. member for Birmingham
describes was induced by corruption to give information.
(Hear, hear.) I know nothing whatever of any such means
having been used. The reason I interfered in the first in-
stance was this—the house must be aware that it is contrary
to the law of the country to counterfeit the money of any
foreign government. (Hear, hear.) Not being, as I said
before, master of the Hungarian language, I could not tell
the exact nature of this note without communication with
Mr. Day. Sir Richard Mayne accordingly communicated
with Mr. Day on the subject. Afterwards, when we got a
translation of this note, and saw that it did not purport to
be a counterfeit of any Austrian money, but that the fabri-
cation was one of money to be used by a new Government to
be constituted, we saw that if the matter was a crime at all
it was one of a different character. We took the opinion of
the law officers of the Crown. That opinion was, of course,
confidential, and it is not for me to state it; but, in conse-
quence of the opinion of the law officers, the Government
decided not to institute any proceedings against Mr. Day ;
and he was informed—certainly when he came to me he
must have understood—that this notice was only for the
moment, and until further information had been obtained ;
and he could not for 24 hours have remained under the im-
pression that the police would lay any embargo on his pro-
perty. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BRIGHT—The right hon. gentleman has not ex-
plained how he came by the note.
Sir G. C, LEWIS—The notes were laid before me by Sir
Richard Mayne. (" Oh !" and " Hear.")
PROSECUTIONS AT ARMAGH.

Sir H. CAIRNS drew attention to the course taken on
behalf of the Crown in the recent prosecutions at Armagh,
in having managed in a protestant county, on a trial fbr
riot, to obtain a Roman Catholic jury, and in not calling
certain witnesses.
Mr. CARDWELL said that all that was done was the
securing the exclusion from the jury of persons likely to be
prejudiced. The witnesses were there, and might have
been called for the purposes of cross-examination.
SUPPLY—ARMY ESTIMATES.

Mr. T. G. BARING, in rising to Move the army esti-
mates, asked permission to refer in the first instance to the
observations of the hon. and gallant member for Hunting-
don, reserving, however, his answer to a portion of those
observations which referred to 1860-61, until it was seen
whether a supplementary estimate would be necessary for
the present year.. This much, however, he could assure
the committee, that no part of the vote of credit should be
applied to supplement the ordinary army service of that year.
The number of men now demanded was 146,044, showing
nominally ax increase of 775 men, and it was to be under-
stood, that last year the embodied militia were not included.
The hon. and gallant member had mentioned this fact as if
it were not of an ordinary character, but the fact was that
the exclusion of the militia was the ordinary practice. He
(Mr. Baring) should speak with great diffidence in
answer to the hon. member for Huntingdon if he had him-
self prepared the estimates, but as the house knew the
estimates had been prepared by the noble lord the Minister
for War, the hon. and gallant member for Huntingdon was
not justified in saying that the nominal increase was an
actual decrease of 9,000 men.. The hon. member had
omitted to consider the. regiments borne on the British
establishment which had not returned from China; show.
ing, in reality, that the decrease was not 9,000 but 5,000
men. In order, however, to make itclear to the committee,
it would be most convenient to compare the average of the
two years ; he including in the statement the disembodied
militia. Commencing with the whole British army in 1860•
61, the average numbers, according to the Adjutant-Gene-
ral's return, including the staff, was 228,020 regular forces ;
the average militia embodied during the year being 9,569;
total, 237,589. Against this the average numbers estimated
for 1861-62 were 212,773, showing a decrease of no less than
24,816 men. In order to advance a step further, he took the
men of 1860-61,wh0 were paid for by the Indian Government.
In the first year,there were in India 72,712 ; depots, 15,058 ;
total, 87,707. This year there were in India 62,041; depots
6,688; total, 68,729; showing a decrease of 19,041. Of men
paid from the imperial revenue, the average in 1860-61 was
142,819, and this year provision was made for 144,044 ; he
used these numbers instead of the first total, because when
the regiments which were expected came home from India,
it would make a difference of 2,000 men, so that the whole
decre ma would be 5,775 instead of 9,000, as the hon. and
gallant member had stated. He would now go one step
further and see what troops were in the colonies and in the
Unite I Kingdom. In 1860-61 there were in the colonies
and China 55,883 ; in 1861-62 51,717, showing a decrease of
4,166, and there remained a total of 93,936 borne on the
books; including the embodied militia for 1860-61, whereas
the'total this year, with no militia, was 92,227—the real de-
crease on the United Kingdom of 609. It was quite impos-
sible, in fact, to compare an estimate including militia with
one which excluded militia, and where provision was made
for some regiments which were yet to return from India.
The numbers in the United Kingdom were, as he had said,
92,327, to which adding the Indian depots—more than 6,000
—would leave 90,000, the average for the United Kingdom
for 1861-62, and as the regiments from India arrived we
should be still stronger at the end of the year. In order to
make the matter more clear, he would give the commit ee
the number of battalions for two years. On the Ist April,
1860, there were 40 in England, 57 in India, 33 in the colo-
nies, and 9in China. On the Ist April, 1861, the numbers
would be respectively 49, 51, 31, and 5, being an increase of
9 battalions at h-me, and there would be an increase when
the New Zealand affair was settled. In comparing the two
years there was a decrease in 1861-62, because last year the
Indian depots were larger; but something must be allowed
for the substitution of regular troops for militia. He did
not say this in any disparagement of the militia, whose
high discipline he most freely acknowledged, but it was
impossible that militia could ever be perfectly equal to the
troops of the line. He thought the committee would see
that they would have this year an additional strength
of battalions of the line, and a much larger
militia reserve, which latter was so perfectly trained that it
formed a nucleus which could at any time be raised to its full
strength. The numbers disembodied were 5,500 artillery,
and 12,800 infantry; the force being taken altogether what
the Government teemed necessary for the purposes of the
United Kingdom, and not too great for the position held by

this country before the world. The gallant officer said they
had not taken sufficient money to pay their men, but if he
would look to the•return of effectives, for which he himself
had moved, he would see that the average cost of each man

for 1859-60 was £54, and if he worked the sum he would see

that exactly that average was provided for the present year.
Again, the gallant officer anticipated that there would be an
excess on the estimate for China, but there was a very small
portion. for which provision had not 'been made, consisting
merely of ono battery of artillery, and one squadron of
cavalry. Having thus explained our position as to numbers
he should proceed to explain the mode in which the reduc.

tions had taken place.. Five battalions had come home from
India, and one regiment of cavalry, and there would also be
a reduction in the strength of the depots. In the cavalry,
although two, troops would be reduced in each regiment, no
officer would be placed on half-pay bid would be gradually
absorbed, and commissions bought out of the reserve fund.
This made the reduction 19,000 for India. At the same
time no.rnan would be discharged, as it was anticipated that
in consequence of the termination of the ten. years' service
the men would .reduce themselves. His Royal High-

ness the Commander•in-Chief had carefully gone into the
accounts, and had come to the conclusion that by the Ist
of April the number of men would square with the esti-
mate without'any discharging. 'With respect to the colo-
nies, there was a reduction of five battalions in China,
against a. small increase in New Zealand. There had been a
slight alteration .of pay in the Malta Fencibles, who had
been changed into artillery, with a small increase of pay,
which had been exceedingly popular in the corps. (Hear,

hear.) At home, the establishment of each cavalry regi-
ment returning from India was reduced by 25 men and 28
horses ; ani in the aclillery provision had been taken for
the formation of new garrison brigades ; but their complete
formation would be postponed until the return of the artil-
lery from India, and in the meantime the vote would be

sufficient for four batteries, There was a small increase in

to £7079,363, and in 1861-62, to £7,410,316 ; showing a
decrease for the corning year of £69,017. This comparison
did not Concur with the first issue of the estimates, and kr
this reason—there was a vote of clothing last year, £200,000,
to the Indian credit, but those credits had now ceased.
