HOUSE OF COMMONS—Dus EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
THE WAR-OFFICE.

Mr. OTWAY asked the Secretary of State for War
whether Sir Henry Storks had been appointed to an office
under the Secretary of State for War; and, if so, whether
he would state the nature of that office and the salary
attached to it.

Sir J. PAKINGTON said it was quite true that Sir H.
Storks had accepted an office under the Secretary of State
for War. The office was a new one, and would be called
the Comptroller, with the rank of Under-Secretary of State.
The salary attached to the office would be £2,000 a year.
He could not at that moment conveniently state more
about the appointment.
THE FOREIGN OFFICE.
Mr. B. POTTER asked the Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs whether he had auy objection to give a re-
turn of the names of the persons for whom the clerks
in the Foreign-office now act as agents, or have so
acted at any time during the last five years ;
of the emoluments which such clerks have individually
received for such agency during the last five years, and
the amount received by them from each person ; and,
whether there is any truth in the statement which has ap-
peared in the public press that the agencies in the Foreign-
office are to be abolished.
Lord STANLEY said he had no objection to give the
names of the clerks in the Foreign-office who now act as
agents, and with respect to their emoluments he was pre-
pared to give the aggregate amount received from each
agent and the amount contributed by each. He might
now say that the question of abolishing these agencies was
now under consideration.
INDIAN BANKING.

Mr. NICOL asked the Secretary of State for India
whether the Bombay Government had been authorised to
take shares in and resume a connection with a new bank
similar to that existing with the institution now
being wound-up under Act 19 of 1857 of Legis-
lative Council of India; whether, as stated in
a recent memorial of shareholders, two millions
sterling had been lost of the original capital of £2,090,000
of that establishment; and, whether he would lay before
the house the whole of the correspondence connected with
the liquidation of the old and the reconstruction of the
new Bank of Bombay.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said it was quite true that the
Bombay Government had taken shares in the new Bank of
Bombay. The relations with the new bank would be very
different from those with the old bank, and a Government
inspector would be appointed instead of Government
directors.
