SEN FENCES OF COURTS MARTIAL.

On the second reading of the Mutiny Bill,
Sir 1. COFFIN expressed his intention of sub-
mitting a Clause in the Committee on the Bill, to
assimilate the practice of Military to that of Na-
val Courts Martial. In the latter the sentence
was read in Court to the accused, whilst in the
former it was sent for confirmation to the Com-
mander in Chief, and the accused remained for
months ignorant of his fate. The Commander is
Chief also acted the part of Judge and Jury, and
he (Sir Isaac) knew of many instances in which the
sentences had repeatedly been sent back because
they were not deemed sufficiently severe, lie then
stated the case of an,Officer in the American war,
who had run another through the body. The
sentence had been sent honie for confirmation,
and he had remained ignorant of his fate. The
same thing had lately happened to another Officer
in Canada, who for a considerable time did not
know whether he should be shot or not.

Lord PALMERSTON had no doubt that when the
subject should be discussed, he should be able to
state satisfactory reasons to justify the existing

practice.

The Bill was then, read a second time, and or-
dered to be committed to-morrow.

The British Plantation Wool Importation Bill
was read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted to-morrow.
BALANCES OF PUBLIC MONEY.

Mr. LUSHINGTON brought in the Bill to render
the growing) produce of the Consolidated Fund
available to the public service. Lest any misap-
prehension of the purport of that measure should
go forth he should repeat that its object was to
render every quarter six millions of. the produce
of the consolidated Fund available to the public
service, which could not otherwise have been used
till the end of the quarter. Out of the first six
millions, 3,300,0001. would go for arrears, and
2,700,0001. towards the repayment of the three
tmilliony due to the Bank. But in every succeeding'
quarter, the whole of the sums would be applied
to the public service.

The 13i11 was then read a first time, and order,
ed. for a second reading next Ft idays—Adjourned,
