ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE.

A grant of 12,1911. 15s. Bd. was then proposed to
defray the expenses of the Royal Military College for the
ensuing year.
Mr. HLTME said that he thought this a most useless
piece of expense. We had paid in the last eleven years,
fair the education of 540 young gentlemen who had been
admitted into the army from this College, no less a sum
than 232,4371., being 4251. for each cadet admitted into
the army.
Sir A. HOPE wished that the Hon. Member for Aber-

Been bad the candour of a Member of the Finance Corn•

mittee, who, in all the reductions he had voted for, had
yet borne testimony to the excellent management of this
College. The Mon. Member diti not now, as he usually
did, propose to diminish the vote, but pounced the mind
of the House by his statements, before the evidence adduced
in favour of that establishment, came before them. In
1792, the army had no education whatever, and all that
a subaltern officer learnt, was the firing a platoon or the
saluting a general officer on field days. At the beginning
of the last war we were actually obliged to apply to fo-
reign powers for assistance in organizing our army, before
it could begin its operations in Flanders. We had now a
General Officer in our service who was a Captain in the
Austrian army when he came to assist us in that organiza-
tion. Now, however, we had 106 staffofficers who had been
regularly educated at this College, and of the number there
were three Quarter Master-Generals of large armies. Be-
sides this, 76 had passed their examinations and obtained
certificates, which made one hundred and eighty-two persons
who were now with our army in different parts of the
world, qualified to take any duty that might be confided to
them. But, besides, there had been 2,050 officers, more
or less, educated in the College, who had since entered the
army. The Finance Committee of 1817 referred the fate
ofthia College to the decision of the Commander-in-Chief,
who modelled it as it was now found. The lion. Member
for Aberdeen put himself up as the man who was to abridge
the expences of the country.—(Hear, hear.)—But the
other night when the House was discussing the vote to the
Professors of Oxford, the Hon. Member hoped that the
House would grant something to the London College.__
(Hear, bear, hear.)—So that give the lion. Member his
favourite child—(laughter)—and he had no objection to
lavish money upon it, whilst he was willing to destroy the
military establishments of the country.--(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME said, that the manner in which the Hon.
and Gallant Officer had addressed himself to him, called
upon him to make a few observations.—(bear, hear, beer.)
—The Gallant Officer had said that poison had fallen from
him, but was a statement of the truth poison? (Cheers)—
It might be poison to the ears of the Gallant Officer.—
(Cheers.)---Was his statement of the expences of the Col-
lege for the last eleven years garbled ? He did not say any
thing agsinst the system of education there.—(Hear, hear.)
—The reasoning of the Gallant Officer was not all appli-
cable to the subject. He said that somebody in the Financa
Committee had spoken in favour of the College, but he
(Mr. Hume) had said nothing derogatory of it. He de-
nied both the garbling and the poison attributed to him.—
(Hear.)—ln 1792 the boo. Member had said we had no
education far our Officers in the army. He (Mr. H.) had
never denied the expediency of the officers being educated;
what he objected to was, the country paying for the edu-
cation. As to the Committee of 1817, it remained for the
House to consider whether the expence ought not to be
reduced in proportion to the wants of the service, or be
borne by the parties. With respect to the London College,
when he. spoke of a vote for it, the Hon. and Gallant
Member could not have been present, or he must have
:een that it was a joke spoken ironically.—(l.aughter. )
Did the Hon. and Gallant Member suppose that he (Mr.

—(Cheers.)—He must be excused for saying tio, but this
was language not to be borne.---(Cheers.)—He was not
angry for himself, for had the language been addreNed to
bins he should not have spoken. With respect to the nava-
tirn which his Noble Friend made of the London Univer--
alty,
,it was, certainly in a joke, and yet the Hon. and
Gallant ;Member tried to raise a cry against him for it. lie
trusted the Hon. and Gallant General would think this
said in good part.
Sir A. ITOPV certafn;;' did take what the Iron. Member
had said in perfectly good part, as respected the Hon.
Member for Westminster, for he had had no intention of dis-
. pleasing bins. With regard to the foolish thing about
gulling, he was sorry, for his . part, he bad committed a
breach of the rules of the House.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN rose to orotest against the
doctrine laid down by the Gallant Officer, that they were
not to discuss any thing till they had the Repot-,t of the Fi-
nance Committee. He would not say a word wit;; respect
to the temper displayed, as the Gallant Officer had tt:.,ready
sufficiently apologised.—(Loud cries of " No, no.")

Sir A. HOPE had followed what he understood to be
the decision of the Clouse, namely, that they should not
speak of curtailments in the Estimates till the Report of
the Finance Comnittee was before them.
Aster a few words fi',Nt the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUEit and Mr. BARING,
The vote was agreed to ; the r,hairman reporte4 pro-
gress, and the Report was ordered to .13e received on Mon-
day. . _

SALE OF GAME BILL.
On tLe motion that the Speaker do leave tie Chair,
and the House resolve itself into a Committee on ebe Salo
of Game Bill,
Mr. S. WORTLEY said he felt assured the ,reeling of
the House was, that some alteration of the law was ,:eces-
Bury ; moreover, the proposed change had received ,;he
sanction of the other House of Legislature. The Hon.
Member then entered into en explanation of the present
state of the laws and the proposed changes, but as he spoke
from under the gallery, and in a low tone of voice, it was
impossible to understand him.

Sir J. BRYDGES opposed the Bill.
Sir J. SHELI.EY should be committing an act little
short of political cowardice if he were to discontinue hie
opposition to the principle of the Bill—convinced that it
would not diminish poaching. The Hon. Baronet. then
deprecated the species of spirt called battu, in the collection
and preservation of garlic, in which the greater portion a
the crime of poaching had its origin. As it was possible,
however, that the Bill might produce some good, he should
not oppose it.
Sir H. VIVIAN condemned the practice of hoarding
up game for battus.

Mr. C. WOOD—Although be did net suite approve
or the qualifications suggested in the present Bill, thought
himself bound to support this measure.
Lord W. PAULETT, Mr. COLBORNE, Mr. F. LEWIS,
and Mr. Secretary PEEL, concurred in supporting the
principle of the Bill.
Lord MOREETIE, Mr. G. Lsms, and Mr. BENETT, like-
wise supported the principle of the Bill, and the House
finally resolved itself into a Committee ; Mr. F. Lzwrv, in
the Chair.

Mr. S. WORTLEY stated that it was not his intention
to do any thing more on the present occasion than to pro-
pose a few verbal amendments, and to introduce one or two
clauses in the Committee, to which he was perfectly con-
fident no opposition would be made.
The amendments were then agreed to, die Report was
brought up and read, and ordered to be taken into further
consideration on Monday next.
USURY LAWS.

Mr. P. THOMPSON moved the second reading of the
Usury Laws Amendment Bill.
Sir R. WILSON wished to know if the Hon. Member
wished to proceed further.
Mr.. P. THOMPSON only wished to proceed one stage
in the Bill. He wished tb take the second reading fur
Tuesday nest.—Agreed to.
Mr. DAWSON moved that the other Orders of the Day
be now read.

Lord NUGENT proposed that the Registration of Free-
holders' Bill should be read a second time.

Sir R. WILSON objected to the second reading of the
Bill after one o'clock.

The
motion. of Lord Nugent was then withdrawn.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and
he House adjourned at Two o'Clock.

GILLHAM, THE MURDERER.—After the ar-
rival of the body of GILLHAM at the United Hospital, oil
Wednesday night, all the surgeons and pupils belonging to
the establishment assembled as early as four o'clock on tle•
following morning, when the dissection commenced, and
from which they only desisted long enough to partake of a
slight breakfast. By two o'clock in the afternoon they
had dissected as far as the abdomen. The body was then
removed from the dissecting room to a large upper apart-,
went, where all the me4ical gentlemen of Bath were ad-
mitted, and the senior surgeon of the hospital, Mr. Nort-
MAN, began the demonstration on the muscles of the abdo-
men, which was extremely interesting, and lasted about
three qoarters of an hour. Mr. Sons, the next surgeon
in eminence, then demonstrate(' on the axiliary vessel,,
which engaged his audience, about 60 in number, till half-
past four ; and at four o'clock Friday morning these labours
were resumed. The head of the murderer was shaved on
