' of : a local European Army in In . rlisi , upon financial , sanitary , and political grounds ; and with reference to the rmitiny among ' lie local force , upon which those who had advocated the change based their af £ iimehts ,.. he appealed to the testimony bornebydistinguished officers to the gallantry anddiscipline of that force , andl . to the services it hnd rendered in the Sepoy rebftlljon TTft inoved to defer the second reading of the Bill for three months . This amendment was second ^ by Sir LJ . ( JOLEBrRiCE . Mr . T . G . Baring defended Sir C ; Wood against the charge of not havino- consulted the Council of India in this matter " . Mr . Baillte compliiined that the House should he called upon to decide this question , when it was admitted by the Government that they had not decided upon the details of the plan of amalgamation they proposed to cam- out . Sir H , Verney argued for the maintenance of a local army . Mr . Vansittaut supported the second reading of the Bill . Sir W . RtJssELL likewise supported the Bill . Mr . S . Herbert , in reply to Mr . Horsman , denied that the Government had withhold information , avid that the House was asked to adopt mi abstract resolution . The subject before the House was a Bill . He vindicated Sir . C . Wood and the Horse Guards against the dark surmises of Mr . Horsman , declaring that there was no intention whatever of altering the relations between the Horse Guards and the Governor-General of India . Mr . KicH moved the adjournment of the debute , which was resisted by Lord Palmersto . v , and
negatived upon a division , by 202 to S 3 . A third motion was made for the adjournment of the House , when Lord Palmrhston-, out of regard for the Speaker , who had to take the chair at n morning sitting , gave up the contest , nnd a motion for the adjournment of the debate tilt Friday was ai > roed to . The House adjourned at tori minutes past two o'clock . —In the House of Lords on Friday night , a conversation took place between Lord ILuin-WICKK and the Duke of Somerset , on the relative merits of Trotman's mid the Admiralty anchor , Lord Hakdwicke advocating the superiority of the former , which , he observed , was only supplied to one ship in the "Royal Navy , viz ., Her Majesty ' s yacht . ; nud tho
Duke of Somerset tho latter , as being more suro of griping tho grornidy-nnd-eqnaHn-H ^ wicke suid , in his opinion , it was tho duty of the Admiralty to supply the Royal Navy with as good nwliorp as tho Royal yacht . Tho Duke of Somehsf . T , in roply to Lord Dunoannon , said that fchoAdmiru'ty had nothing whatever to do with tho appointment of the officers of the Holyhond and Kingston packets .

relating to the local European force in India , which was commented upon the preceding night . They would be placed upon the table without further delay . On the motion for adjournment till Monday , Lord Palmerston proposed that the adjourned debate on the second reading of the European Forces ( India ) Bill , which was the first order of the day , should be postponed till Monday , when the greater part of the papers would be in the hands of members , nppa the understanding that the Committee on the Bill should be deferred till all were printed . Mr . Horsman assented to this suggestion . He remarked that , although Sir C . Wood had the preceding night attributed the delay of the papers to the printer , it now appeared that they were at the time in the hands of a subordinate of his own department . He trusted , he added , that the
papers when delivered would be the real papers asked for . Mr . A . Mills hoped that the minutes of the members of the Council Would be among' the papers . Sir C Wood denied that the papers had been kept back by any act of his . Mr . James inquired whether the Attorney-General meant to proceed with the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill . Mr . Kekewich called the attention of the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the disturbances which took place on Sunday last in the neighbourhood of the church of St . George ' s-in-the-East , and asked what measures he had taken to prevent their recurrence . Sir G . Lewis said lie had been assured that the account given in the newspapers was overcharged , and read reports from the police which were materially at variance with it . The occurrences within the church were
not of a nature cognisable by the police . Lord C . Paget , in reply to Mr , Mtldmay , said he considered Trotman ' s anchor not a good one ; that it had a great many disadvantages , there being great difficulty in fishing it . They had offered to order a trial of it on board two of her Majesty ' s ships , but Mr . Trotmau had declined this offer ; nothing would satisfy him but a committee . They -were dearer than the Admiralty anchors . After other subjects were discussed , the motion for adjournment was agreed to , and the House went into a Committee of Supply upon the estimates for the Mail Packet and Revenue Departinents , when . certain , resolutions were agreed to , and ordered to be reported . The Registration of Births , & c . ( Scotland ) , Bill passed the Committee . Other Bills were put forward a stage , and the remaining business having

Tho adjourned debute on the second reading of the European Forces Bill was resumed by Mr . Rich , who nupported tho amendment that it should be read a second time that day three months . Mr . Tourens also opposed the Bill , contending that a local force was in all respects tho most suitable for Indian service . . Sir D . L . Evans said he believed no proper conclusion could bo arrived at without the papors ; and , in order to enable tho Govornment to furnish them , ho moved tho adjournment of tho debate . Mr . M . Milnes seconded the motion ' . SirF . Smith : contended that no case had been made out for tho amalgamation on the grou » ds either of economy or efficiency . Sir C .
