Colonel JEItVIS moved an Address for copy of the
draft regulations for the Control Department originally
sent in by the War-office to the Treasury, together with
any memoranda thereupon by the Assistant Under-
Secretary of State for War, together with re-
ply thereto by the Controller-in-Chief. The honour-
able and gallant gentleman defended the observations
ho had made relative to the setting aside of Sir H. Storks,
who was at first to be the Controller-in-Chief at the
War-office. The whole of the object of Lord Strath-
nairn's committee had been set aside, and he
wished the country to know by whom that had
been done. It was generally supposed that Parliament
through the Secretary of State governed the country, but
that it appeared was altogether a mistake, and it was
but right to know who pulled the strings at the War
Office. He denied that the language he used
the cther evening was either wild or unjustifiable,
although ho admitted ho had not the art the right hon.
baronet possessed in such an eminent degree of
wrapping up his fulminating powder in silver
paper. (Hear, hear.) The report of Lord Strath-
nairn's committee with respect to the appointment of
the Controller of the War Department had been set aside,
and he was determined to use his utmost to obtain infor-
mation as to who had set aside the decision so arrived at.
Lord ELCHO also condemned the system pursued with
respect to the setting aside of the appointment of Sir
Henry Storks. He thought it was quite time Parliament
at least should know by whom the military department
of the country was governed, since it appeared that the
Secretary of State was all but a mere non-entity. He had
had the pleasure of a conversation with Lord Strathnairn,
and as the matter was to be brought forward that evening
in another place he should be very much surprised in-
deed if Lord Strathnairn supported the argument that was
now proposed. He (Lord Echo) thought Sir H. Storks
and General Balfour had been most unjustly treated, a
he hoped that something would transpire to prevent
system to which they were opposed being forced up
them.

Sir J. PAKINGTON denied that he had anything 1
the highest resp3ct for Sir H. Storks, and when the h.
and gallant member for Harwich mid the Governrne
having used Sir H. Storks, were anxious to get rid
him—

Capt. JERVIS said the words he used were —" it WO
appear so from the papers."
Sir J. PAKINGTON accepted that, and he was not I
pared to withdraw one word of his former speech, w
he characterised the observations of the hon. and gall
gentleman as "wild, unfounded, and unjustifiable."

denied that he was anxious to get rid of Sir H. Stoi
it was an imputation that he retorted in the strong
language, and he should ba quits unworthy to fill

different places in that house, as it showed a total
ignorance of the interior arrangements of the War-office.
He dmiied that there was any rival authority in that de-
partment ; but with respect to the production of the papers
moved for, he must object to their production as detri-
mental to the public service.
Mr. DISRAELI also said it would be much to be re-
gretted if the house insisted for the papers after the decla-
ration of his right Lou friend.

A division was called for, but, on the Speaker finally
putting the question, the member for Harwich did not
persevere, and the motionlwas negatived without a divi-
sion.
