SUMMER SITTINGS OF JPARUAMEHT . Mr . Cha . rlks Fobster called the attention of the House to the inconvenience of protracting the session during the summer months , and asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer -whether the Government is prepared to make any- arrangement with a view of remedying such inconvenience ] for the future . He urged that the true solution of the question was the confining the sittings of the Legislature to a different period of the year , viz . from November to May , which was the practice until modern times . COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OP PBOPKRTY IN INDIA .
; Mr . Bi * ackburn asked the President of the Board cf Control if any decision has yet been come to on the subject of , granting compensation to indigo planters and other British settlers in India whose property has been destroyed by the rebels .
CHURCH RATES . Sir John TRELA . WNY asked , witb reference to the existing position and prospects of the church-rate question , and the views propounded by some of her Majesty * s leading advisers , -whether they propose to fix a period for the termination of the session without recommending Parliament to adopt a measure rn which such views shall be embodied .
CLOTHISta OF THE TR 0 OI"S IN INDIA . Lord Elcho drew attention to the unsuitable clothing of the troops in India , especially the Rifles and the Highland regiments . He also pointed out that the ammunition was most defective / He asked if any alteration would be made in both respects . —General Peel said , with regard to the clothing of the troops , that the regular clothing is sent out from home , what light clothing . they receive after they have arrived in India is provided by the East India Company . As to the ammunition , be did not know whether it was that which was sent out with the troops or whether it was made in India—a great quantity had been sent out to India . There liad never been any complaint from the officers in command , but inquiries had been sent out on both subjects .
Lord Stanlby , replying to Mr . Blackburn , said that last December instructions -were sent out to ascertain the losses , and an umpire was to be appointed to settle any claims which might be made . He also stated that light clothing was given to every regiment on its arrival in India . Mr . Disraeli , replying to Mr . Ewart , said that he was prepared to propose a vote for the Department of Justice , but he had received no definition of its duties , and he could not ask for such a vote . In replying to Sir John Trelawny on the subject of cburch rates , he said that "the Government was not prepared to introduce
a measure on the subject this session , but they hoped to settle the question early next year . As to Mr . Foreter ' s question , with regard to " the sittings of Parliament , he admitted that there might be some advantage in a meeting of Parliament at an earlier period of the year . The alteration in the period of the sitting was caused by the union with Ireland , as the summer season was the most convenient for members from that country to come to England . If the matter waa brought forward , the Government would give it a fair consideration . Lord John Russell said he thought it would be an improvement if Parliament met in the autumn . The adjournment to Monday was then agreed to .
The House then went into Committee of Supply , resuming at the vote for the Department of Science and Art . . The main point of discussion was the vote for Education in Ireland , and the system of national education was discussed at length before the vote was agreed to . — Several other votes wore takon .
