the Government.
Lord Awning. LENNOX said that manly games and exer-

Captain LAYARD supported the vote, which he

Mr. WILLIAMS was sorry that Mr. Huwe had not moved
for a much larger reduction of men than 10,000.
Sir H. HARDING'S defended the original motion, and chal-
lenged Mr. Hume to name a single colony in which a reduc-

of Canada, and in Canada it was proposed to reduce the force

Mr. ROEBUCK moved for a select committee to inquire into
the circumstances whieh led to the late hostilities in Affghan•
istan, and to report the evidence, and their observations
thereon, to the house. He accused the late Governme,:t,
without the sanction either of Parliament or the East India
Company, with having commenced an unjust and impolitic
wae,ancl with having garbled and falsified the evidence re-
lating to that war. He compared Lord Palmerston, while in
offlee, to a lucifer match, which no sooner met with an ob-
struction than it burst into a flame. The noble lord dis-
played a mischievous spirit in meddling in the affairs of other
countries with which he ought to have had no concern, and
kept the country constantly on the eve of war with one

country or anotner. 111 short, his whole foreign policy was
calculated to do anything rather than raise this country in the
estimation of other nations. The hen. and learned gentle-

Russia, but those movements ought .o be attributed to th
