ELLICE, an address was ordered for a copy of the correspondence between the Topographical department and any other department of Government, in reference to the withdrawal of surveyors from the Topographical Survey of Scotland, and an account of the moneys voted for the survey of Scotland. In reply to Sir F. Heygate, Mr VILLIERS 541 d the Lord Advocate had been in communication with the Poor-Law Board in reference to the extension to Scotland of the act to amend the law relating to the removal of poor persons to Ireland, and a bill would shortly be introduced on the subject. Sir G. C. Lim's, in reply to Mr Bruen, stated that. there wile no objection on the part of the War Office, in the event of the consent of the commandirut officer being obtained, to provide a place of recreation for the officers and soldiers at the Curragh Camp, by enclosing a suitable piece of ground for a cricket-ground in such a rusnner as to prevent artillery and cavalry from crossing it. Mr LAY AR'), in reply to Mr Bentinck, stated that the details which had appeared in the newspapers in reference to the murder of Dr Macarthy at Pisa were true. The murderer and accomplice were arrested on the spot, and means had been taken to bring them to justice. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the House at its rising adjourn until Thursday, which was agreed to. Mr WHALLEY asked the Chief Secretory for Ireland whether he took any and what means to ascertain whether the address of condolence lately presented to her 114e4ty, purporting to await, INN ti.. president,  superiors, and students of hfaynooth College, did in fact emanate from those persons? Sir it. PEEL said the address of condolence was perfectly authentic. Mr A. Altus called the attention of the House to the report of the select committee of last session on colonial military expenditure, and moved—" That this HousW, while fully recognising the claims of all portions of the British empire to imperial aid in their protection against perils arising from the consequences of imperial policy, is of opinion that colonies exercising the right of selfgovernment ought to undertake the main responsibility of providing for their own internal order and secnrity." Mr BOXTON seconded the motion.  Mr BAN/RR was of opinion that our colonial possessions should bear not only the main but the entire charge in. °tarred in both their internal and external defences. lie thvi.stat the resolution did not go far enough, and propeej the eitiiii,',,;4-4. of the foll.nwing words —"That such an their external defence, an, as a rule, and. except, in Css* of great fortresses, no further charge nip.: t 4 ": made upon the Treasury for colonial fortifications." Mr C. FOR/Viet:it said Government had no objection to the motion, nor to the amendment proposed by Mr Baxter.  Sir T. FERGUS/30N expressed a hope that the resolution relating to external defences would be sparingly applied, lest it might have the effect of alienating the affections of the colonists from the mother country. Mr 'HALIBURTON thought that the motion wax veryill-timed, and was delusive in its objects. After some brief observations from Mr Childers the motion as amended was agreeed to. Mr PERI, obtained leave to bring in a bill to extend to the Isle of Man the provisions of the Act 18 and t 9 Vi. cap 90, as to the payment of costs ti and by the Crowd.
