a groat benefit by the establishment of a separate market
for foreign cattle, and therefore he should give his vote for
going into committee. _ _ _

Mr LOWE said the great question before the house was
whether there should be .a s!cond meat market for the
metropolis. (Hear, hoar.) He did not think that the
question of finance ought to preclude them from proceeding
with the bill, because, if it was a good one, resources could
easily be discovered to carry it into effect. He for one
was not to be precluded from doing some good because he
could not effect all, and he did not agree with his right
hon. friend the member for Ashton in his wholesale con-
demnation of the bill, because it was not what ho (Mr.
Gibson) called a great and comprehensive measure.
With respect to the bill increasing the price of
moat, that was a subject he could not enter
upon ; but this he knew that the butchers of the
metropolis had deluged every member of Parliament with
pamphlets, they had retained eminent counsel to oppose
the bill, and taken other expensive steps, and all for what?
Why, as they say, to cheapen the price of meat. (A
laugh.) He thought the bill only proposed to do 014
which iu itself seemed wise t) di, and therefore he sh )ul 1
vete for its going into committee. _

Mr. GOS6LIEN sail that as Co prop)sed mark-.)t
to ba made the expense of inJtrop)litan emsumws and
rat 'payers, ha should strenuously oppma the furtho: pro-
gress of the bill:
Mr. READ supportad the bill.

Mr. MOFFATT rnov3d the adjournment of tho debate,
which was rejected by 221 to 79. _ _

Mr. COGAN supported the measure, and Mr. CHEETIIAM
was proceeding to move the adjournment of the hous,
when the sitting was suspended.

On resuming at nine o'clock, Lord ENFIELD drew at-
tention to the services of the land and sea forces employed
in the war in New Zealand from 1863 to 1866, and asked
whether it was intended by the War-office to issue any
decorations for those services.

Some discussion ensued, in the course of which Colonel
North, Lord Eustaco Cecil, and Mr. Gilpin strongly ad-
vocated the claims of the forces to some marks of dis-
tinction.

I❑ the absence of the Secretary for War, which was
unavoidable,

Mr. DISRAELI answered the question, reminding the
house that the lat 3 war in New Zealand was originated
and concluded by a previous Government, and that there-
fore the present Ministers were not responsible for the
neglect to acknowledge the services performed. The mat-
ter, however, would receive consideration, and he hoped
the conclusion to be arrived at would meet with the public

approval.
Amongst the other subjects briefly alluded to on the
motion for going into committee of supply was the report
of the commissioners upon burgh and middle-class schools
iu Scotland; the danger arising from the careless use of
lucifer matches ; the practice of granting writs in error in
criminal cases ; and the services of officers, seamen, and
marines of the navy who have not received decorations in
accordance with Admiralty circulars of June, 1847, 1848,
and 1858, which awarded medals to survivors in actions
since 1793.

The house then went into committee, and voted the re-
maining sums in Class 5, relating to the Revenue and
Post-office Packet Service.

Mr. NEVILLE-GRENVILLE (at twenty minutes past
one o'clock) moved the issue of a new writ for the election
of a member for Bristol, in the room of Mr. John William
Miles, unseated on petition. He went at length into the
virtues, electoral purity, and commercial importance of the
city concerned in the motion.
Mr. BASS, by way of amendment, proposed that no writ
be issued until seven days after the evidence taken before
the election committee for Bristol shall have been in the
hands of members.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH seconded the proposal.
Mr. W. P. ADAM supported the amendment, and Mr.
HOWES, as the chairman of the committee, defended the
proceedings.
After some discussion the motion of Mr. Grenville was
withdrawn, and the house adjourned.
