TnrtrogW ; fbrwara . what be chiefly tlesired to lee was the appointment of one head , a MaenVber of the Government , who should have under his care ihe whole affairs of th « army . He wished to see the artillery * nd ordnance made a . part of the army , « nd thought the present system of having the commis sariat ia the hands of the ^ Treasury open to very great objection . Mr . Ei / ltcb qualified his Approval erf IiOrd John
Bnssetrs statement , by saying that it stopped short of what he thou $ » t necessary . If 1 ! he office of the new Secretary of State was to be permanent , there was no reason why he should sot be responsible for the whole administration of the army , Mr . Btoh wished to « ee both the ordnance aad civil -departments placed under the control of one head . Colonel Doxkb agreed in this view ; but that head , he thought , ought certainly to be a military nan . After some remarks from Mr . Williams cm the civil estimates , the House went into
COMMTTTBEOT BtTPPLY . < Onthe vote of ^ 5363 i fbr puhlk buttffings and roya l palaces , Mt . Wisb objected to The item of 20001 . Tor replacing the decayed farm-buildings at Windsor , because , as he was . informed , JRrince . Albert paid neither rent nor tajo » for the farm . Mr . Wjxson and Looa > Sbrpqoti explained that fthvere were two farms , one was the dairy farm , which was an appendage to the castle , and 4 © be maintained by the public ] ost like the kittitfen or aay other ^ epartineTit
connected with the voyfl'reeKlence . It was for that purpose-this vote of SOOO / .-was taken . For the other farm Prince Albeit paid the same rent as the last tenant , and the expenses of improvements were borne half Tjy Kim and half by the public . i Gn the -vote for 142 , 294 £ for the newHoases ofTa * -1 liatnent , Mt-Humb hoped ihe Treasury would pay Sir C Barry nothing until ibis accounts were made out . He had received money on account amounting *> n : the whole to 4 OJ 0 O 9 t . \
The < 3 ha * iceue . or of the Excheqiter regretted that Parliament had never effectually committed tfcej responsibility of these ^ works to the executive G-o-1 vernment . ! Last year the Treasury had called for a ' final estimate , but it has notyetfeen furnished m consequence of Sir CL Barry ' ssexiouSxJUness . It might be thought at first siglif iEfeat 4 Qjb 6 ol . vas an extFavagant remuneration to the architect , but a little consideration would show that that man was greatly below what he was entitled to claim . The work had been spread over -twenty years , during which Sir C . Barry had tjeeH subject to TetyTieaTy expenses ; Ms outgoings in the new Houses df Parliament for establishment and Assistants averaged from 12002 . to 1500 / a year .
Mr . Wxixiajis complained that the charges for fuel and lights for both houses amounted to l 4 fiOQL After great expense had been incurred unsuccessfully on ventilation , they found that for a sum of 80 / . < the house had been made healthy and comfortable in that respect . Sir W . Moxesworth , in reply to Mr . Kinnaird , stated that the new bridge Tiad been entrusted to the engineer of the Department of Works . No agreement had been made with . Sir C . Barry , but he had furnished a design , so that , if possible , the architecture of the bridge should be in harmony with the Houses of Parliament . —Mr . H . 1 ) . Seymour thought it a great pity that , having laid out 2 , 000 , 0002 . on the Houses of Parliament , they should build an iron bridge instead of a stone one in the immediate neighbourhood , merely to save a few thousand pounds . — Mr . H . Herbekt * expressed , a similar opinion . —Sir W . Moleswobth said it was found that the bridge estates would not famish sufficient funds to build a bridge of stone . The committee , therefore , determined that it should be of iron ; but it would be the widest bridge in London , and he believed it would look very well . The committee then divided on tb € vote , which was carried by 57 to 35 . On the vote of 68 , 000 / . for the salaries and expenses of the Privy Council , a discussion arose
respecting the salary of Mr . Greville , the Clerk of the Council . In 1853 he had received a salary of 2000 / ., but for the present year it was put down at 2500 / . It was explained that the larger sum was the original salary -, but Mr . Q reville only received 2000 / . during the time he hela the appointment of agent for Jamaica ; on the ' extinction of that office , he again received his full salary , according to express agreement with the Treasury .
CRIMINAL raOCKDTTRE BILL . Mr . AoLioNBT , in moving tlu ; second reading of this bill , explained its object to be , \> y allowing prisoners accused of minor offences to pltad " Guilty " and receive their sentences at petty sessions in open court , to sparo prosecutors and their witnesses the trouble and expense of attending fit the assizes , and to rescue youth ! ul offenders from the contamination to which they were exposed in the weeks and months A \ hich they were not imfrequeritly obliged to puss in gaol between their committal and their trial . All the objections which had been made to tlio bill could , he thought , be doalt with in committee , and he hoped ,
therefore , that to House would » 6 w giro Ha . assert * to the second reading . ? Mr . Cobbktt admitted that the object of * he bill ; was good , but tuged various objections which he thought « ould not be removed in committee . He , manned -that the bill be read that day « ixojaa * h « . ~~ MT . A * 8 Eftt « M seconded the « n % ndinent . , Mr . T PniLiracmE supported the <* Cond reading . IiOrd Paimetmtton thotigftt 4 hat the imperfectioris in the bill might he amended in comtnitte * . and recommended the House to consent to Its seco&d reading . Mr . Henxky did not think the bill woul 3 workor

ca ^ OTHnsra colonels . At length the great anomaly of clothing colonels lias been abolished . They bare received theiruaietuB Kt the hands of Mr . Sidney Herbert . The -follo ^ ring circular » nd warrant -explain -the arrangement-: — War Office , June 6 , 1854 . I have the honour to enclose to you a royal warrant regulating the future position of colonels at regiments in regard to the clothing of their regiments , and the emoluments which they are to . receive , and extending to the rest of the amny the
system in use in the Household Cavalry , < hy whden the colonels clothing these regiments receive « iftxdd anuual payment in lieu -of varying profits ^ eci * red from the off-reckonings . In adopting this mode of paymettli , which la * tai accordance wit ^ i the principle whicth ought to regulate the issue of all public money , and will put 4 tn end to much misrepresentation to which the colonels of regiments have been unjustly exposed , 1 ami anxious that the change . should beeo effected as not to injure the interests of the officers who will be affected by it .
In cases , therefore , in which the colonels of regiments , having but lately issued accoutrements to their regiments , have either lad very reduced profits , or have been exposed to a loss for which they have not been compensated by higher profits in previous years , or for which they would have been reimbursed by a Burplus in subsequent years , 1 shall be prepared , upon a statement of accounts of past yeara since the colonel has had the regiment , being forwarded to mo , to make compensation for such Iobb , assuming the rates of profit to be , on an overage , those laid down in the enclosed
waTrant . I have the honour to bo , Tour most obedient uuniLlo servant , j SllMlEY UlfilUkEiaX .
