This amendment was seconded by Sir U . Colebttrke . Mr T . G . Barino defended Sir C . Wood against the charge ot not having consulted the Council of India in this matter . Mr .

Sir H . Verney argued for the maintenance of rt local armv . Mr . Vansittart supported tho second reading of the Bill Sir ' W . Russell likewise supported the Bill . Mr . b . Herbert in reply to Mr . Horsman , denied that the Government had withheld information , and that , the House was asked to adopt an abstract resolution . The subject before the House was a Bill . He vindicated Sir C . Wood and the Horse Guards against the darksurmises of Mr . Horsman , declaring * that there was no intention whatever of altering the relations betweon the Horse Guards and the Governor-General of India . Mr . Rich moved the adjournment of tho debate , which was resisted by Lord Palmrrston " , and negatived upon a division , by 262 to 83 . A third motion was made for the adjournment of tho House , when Lord Palmeuston , out of regard for the Speaker , who had to take tho chair at u morning sitting , gave up thw contest , and a motion for thp adjournment of < he debate till Friday was ' agreed to . Tho House nd * iourned at ten minutes past two o ' clock . —In tho House of Lords on Friday night , a conversation took place between Lord Harpwicke and tho Duke of Somerskt , on the relative merits of Trotmnn ' s and the Admiralty anchor , Lord Hardwicktc advocating tho superiority of tho former , which , he observed , was only supplied to ono nhip ' in the Roynl Navy , viz ., Her Majesty ' s yacht ; and the Duko of Somerbkt the latter , ns being moro sure of griping- the gronudronri' eqnal in holding to Trotwanls anohor . Lord Haud-vwickm said , in his opinion , it was the duty of the Admiralty to . supplv the Royal Navy with ns good anchors as the Royal yacht . The Duko of Somerset , in reply to Lord Dunoannon , said that the Admirn'ty hod nothing whatever to do withthe appointment of the officer * of the Holylioad and Kingston packets . Tho Endowed Charities' Bill , on the ' motion of tho Lord Chancellor , was read n second time . Their Lordships adjourned at seven o ' clock . —In the House of Commons , in replying to a question put by Col . Sykks , Sir C . Wood explained tho cause of the delay in printing- the papers
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 , upon the understanding 1 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 , Mildmay , 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 . Trotman 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 aud Revenue Departments , when certain resolutions were agreed to , and orde ^ be reported . The Registi-ation of Births , -&c . ( Scotland ) , Bill passed the Committee .

This motion he ~ was requested by Lord Harris , Earl Granville , and the Earl of Derby to postpone , but he declined to do so , and he proceeded to ' move it in a _ long speech . Lord Brougham , however , moved the ' . " previous question , " which was at once agreed to , and the House passed to the orders of the day . The Councillors of Burghs and Burgesses ( Scotland ) Bill and the Highland Roads and Bridges Bill were read a third time and passed . The Caledonian " » d Critian Canals Bill , the Inland Bonding Bill , and the Criminal Lunatic Asylum Bill were read a second time .

Russun said Her Majesty's Government had accepted the proposal of the French Government for holding a conference on the question of the Annexation of Savoy , and that ho 'believed Russia had done the same . Tho adjourned dtibnto on the second reading- of the European Forces Bill was resumed by Mr Rich , who supported the amendment that it should be read a second time that day three months . Mr .. Torrens also opposed the Bill , contending that a local force was in all respects the most suitable for Indian service . Sir D . L . Evans said lie believed no proper conclusion could be arrived at without the papers- and in / order to enable the Government to furnish them , ho moved the adjourn men t of the debate . Mr . M . Milnes seconded the motion . Sir ' F . Smith contended that no case hud been made out for the amalgamation on tho grounds either of economy or ctn ^ ioncy . Sir C . Wood asked the House to bring tho question to an issue by dividing on tho second reading instead of on tho motion for the adjournment ; again asserted tho necessity of amalgamating the two armies , and justifies tho course lie had taken with , regard to the introduction ' of tho Bill .
