desirable t, have a place to transport those
whose lives would be spared ; but the question was,
where to send them. Of course they could only be sent
to such colonies as were willing to receive them. He
behaved no punishment would be dreaded more by tho
high-caste ra.t.:7oS especially as transportatiou.
SMITHFIELD MARKET.
Mr. ELANBURY asked the Chn.ncellor of the Exche-
quer, whether the consent of the Government was likely
to be given to any proposition of the Corporation of
the City of L-Indon to build over the site of Smithfield
Maiket, whether for a Dead Market or any other pur-
pose _ _

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
believed it was the intention of the City of London to
introduce in the ordinary manner a private bill for
establishing a dead meat market in some part not far
from Sinithfield. The question with regard to the
ground claimed by the Crown would be left to the
decision of the select committee on that bill. •
PRIZE MONET.

Mr. LAURIE asked the Under Secretary for War,
whether any prize money was to be distributed to the
Army who were engaged in the Crimea! and, whether
the. Queen's troops now is India, who t Kok possession of
treasure, would have prize money allotted to them ?
Sir J. RAMSDEN said the former was too small to
distribute amongst the army, not counting more than
2s. 6d. to each officer, and 63. to each soldier. None
would therefore take place.
Mr. V. SMITH said with reference to India that prize
money would only be allowed where the treasure was
taken from the natives. (Hear' hear.)
MINISTER OF JUSTICE

Mr. WARREN asked whether any and what pro-
gress bad been made in the arrangements for establish-
ing a Department of Justice, in conformity with the
pledge given by the Government in the last session ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the matter bad
been under consideration. He should be able to give a
more satisfactory answer after the recess.
THE REBELLION IN INDIA.

Mr. BLA.CKBURN asked if the Indian government
had resolved to admit the principle that compensation
was to be made for property destroyed by the rebellion
in India.

Mr. VERNON SMITH said the question had not yet
been decided.

PETITION FROM CA.LCIITTA.

Mr. WISE asked why the memorial from the
inhabitants of Calcutta, complaining of the Governor
General, had not been present4d to the Home of
Commons, and by whose authority it had been with•
he'd.

Lord PALMERSTON said ho hal returned it,
because it was contrary to the invariable rule to re-
ceive such documents, except through the Governor.
General, who, at the same time, forwarded his answer
to the complaint, by which Government were put
into possession of the facts on both sides.
BISHOPS' RETIRING PENSIONS.
Mr. GRITFITLIS asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury, whether it was his intention to bring in a bill this
session to provide retiring pensions for bishops resigning
their sees, according to his pledge of last session 7
Lord PA LM.E RSTON said the subject was still under
the consideration of the government. He was unable
to make any pledge on the subject. (Hear, hear.)
RIGHT TO PRACTICE IN THE ADMIRALTY
COURT.

Mr. HADFIELD asked the Attorney-General
whether he intended to bring in a bill to abolish the
right to practise in the Court of Admiralty, now enjoyed
by proctors (eho were empowered under the Probate
Bill to become attorneys and solicitors), and to enable
the legal profusion generally to practise in that court, as
decided by a committee of the whole house in the last
session, during the discussion of said Probate Bill
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the subject was
under consideration. Probably a measure to that effect
would be brought in after the recess, but he was unable
to say when.
