fort and discipline of the men as well as oppressive t') the
people, and that it is the duty of the G.)veroinent to
take means to abolish the grievance ?”
Mr. PEEL said any alteration to be made in this re-
spect must be done when the Mutiny Acs came bef,re
the house, which would be as soon as the number of
men for the army had been voted.
THE ARCTIC VESSEL RESOLUTE.
Mr. EVELYN asked the First I.^.rcl of the Admi-
ralty whether it was true (as stated ill the public j .ur-
tinl-), that the Arctic vessel the Res(dote (though not
ordered to be broken up) had been stripped and disman-
tled and p'aced in ordinary ; and, whether he hai any
objection to state what was the present condition of this
vessel, given, as it had been, by the American people
to the Queen of England ?
Sir C. WOOD said that it was not the practice of the
service to keep ships out of commission full rigged, and
the Resolute had been treated the same as her Majesty's
other ships in ordinary. The stores could not be kept,
except the rum, which, however, improved by keeping.

SNAPE-SURREY COUNTY LUNATIC

Mr. OTWAY asked a ques ion of the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, concerning the reap-
pointment of Mr. Snape to the medical charge of the
Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, and the correspondence
which had ensued in consequence between the authorities
at the Home Office, the Commissioners in Lunacy, and
the Committee of the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum.
Sir G. GREY said that the Secretary of State had
no control over the appointments or disiniasals of the
officers of lunatic asylums, but that it rested with the
visiting justices. Mr. Snape was only suspended during
the recent investigation, so that he had not been reap-
pointed. There was no objection to produce the paper
referred to.

Mr. OftITAINIOND said that as the conduct of the
county justices appeared to be impugned, probably the
Secretary of State would produce the statement made
by Mr. Snaps to the visiting justices, and the reports of
the medical officers to them on this unfortunate occur-
rence.

Sir G. GREY said that the paper required had better
be added to Mr. Otway's motion, and then they should
be produced.

Sir J. GiI,A.LIA.M asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether her Majesty's Government had come to
an agreement with the Government of Denmark respect-
ing the commutation of the Sound dues ; and whether
Parliament, in the present session, would be invited to
pr

.ovide the sum necessary for such commutation.
Lord PALMERSTON said that the G ,vernment had
been for a considerable time in communication with
other Governments relative to the Sound dues. No
arrangements had yet been come to, but there was
every probability of their being very speedily concluded,
and then he shoul I submit to Parliament a proposition
for carryinv. the arrangements into effect.
SAVINGS BANKS DEFERRED ..4.NNLTITY
TABLES. _ _

Mr. W. MICHELL asked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether Mr. Tidd Pratt had certified the
Savings Banks Deferred Annuity Tables.
Sir G. LEWIS said that 4r. 'raid Pratt had nothing
to do with these tables. They were prepared by the
actuary to the savings' bank, and approved of by the
Lords of the Treasury, who then published them in the
London Gazette.
ENDOWED SCHOOLS COMMISSION
(IRELAND.)
Lord NAAS asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
when the report of the Endowed Schoch Commission
was likely to be presented to Parliament ; and whether
it was the intention of the Government t) propose any
measure on that subject in the present session.
Mr. HORSMAN said that he was una!2ll to give an
answer to the question. When he 1-At Dublin, in
January last, the commilv•ion had terminated their in-
quiry, and wero preparing their report. At present he
had not received it, nor had any intimation when it
would be ready.
