    THE BENGAl MILITARY FUND . Lord Goderich withdrew his motion for-a . " ^ g « 3 mittee to inquire into the present state of the Bengal Military Fund , and its relations with the East India Company .

    contributions to this fund , still , if in the course of two years from January , 1856 , the revenue was not able to £ eet the charges upon it , \\^\^ , % ^ ^^ M further contributions should be called for . That would of course be a matter of generosity on the part of those who were called on to contribute . He need not say that the conduct of the gentlemen whom the noble Lord represented was hig hly worthy of praise , in not pressing the . subject on the attention of the Indian Government at this time . —Mr . Mangles spoke to the like effect , and the subject-then dropped . THE LORD LIEUTENANCY OF IRELANP . Mr . Roe « uck moved ' that the office of Lord lieutenant of Ire land ought to bo abolished . ' He argued that Ireland should bo made , in every respect , an Integra part of the UuLted Kingdom—the same as a county- o Eqgland ; and by this measure ho proposed to effect thai objfet , and to take away the last badge of her subjection ^» " ¦ ,.

    _ jcjLO uia not wiini " «¦ " ^<»»» V i i Ireland dorivod ao beneiit from tho Vicoroyalty ; and no therefore proposed to substitute for the Lord Lieutenant a Secretary of State . The court at Dublin is a focus of intrigue , and makes Ireland depend on her Government rather than her own exertions . Should , as ho anticipated , the previous question bo moved , > t could only bo because it was thought that the present is not a favourable time for tho abolition ; but what time could possibly bo more favourable ? Ireland is tranquil , and , with this ono exception , well governed , and only a low tradesmen and milliners arc interested in tho retention of tho office Since tho Reform Bill , only two acts offensive to Irolandhad boon passed—tho Coercion Act «„ , ! * u ~ i ? n ,. u 0 i 0 atin « i Titian " Rill . Both those he ( M . r . ;

    Roobuck ) had oppoaod 5 and tho latter is a dond letter , tho Government being afraid to put it in operation . In I 860 , Lord John Rusaoll proposed to abolish the oflloe of Lord Lieutenant ; and among thoao who voted for Uia motion wore Mr . Baines , Mr . Bouvorio , Mr . Cowpor , Hir George Grey , Mr . Haytor , Mr . Keating , Mr . Lobouohoro , Sir C . G . Lowls , Mr . ' Wilson , and Sir Charloa Wood ; and in tho Government at tho time were Sir Francis Baring , Lord John RubsoII , Lord Clarendon , and Lord Falmoraton . —Ma \ IIadjpiuld seconded tho motion .

    Mr M'CtJiXAGH opposed , the present is not the time for the proposed change : j that Mr . Roebuck ' s was not the proper mode of dealing with inch a difficulty ; and that the question ought : Uthe handled bv Government , and not by a private member . Mr Roebuck had not proposed any »* f ^ J ? " * office which he would destroy . . In 1850 , when . Lord John Rassell presented his motion on the abject , the House had a definite scheme before *** . <*"** % * ? ove 7 n ment of Ireland , and he regretted that the cht-SmTfBces of the case compelled him to vote against the second reading of the noble Lords insure . But there are great difficulties in the way of the change . There are one hundred and twenty statutes "ktuige * - clusively to Ireland ; and it would be impossible tobm Sentity of government without identity of legislation .

    ^ Wednesday , July 8 tk . THA 3 LES COXSERVAXCY BILL , This measure , which , though a private bill , possesses some public interest , was read a third toe , and passea , at the morning sitting of the House of Colons . Some previous discussion , however , took place , the third riding being opposed by Sir William CoDRmoTO | who moved that it be deferred for sxx months . He observed that powers weie given by this bill to the conservators of the river , to embank , project works , ana obtain rent for these works , two-thirds whereof should be payable to the conservators , for the i mprovement ot the navigation ostensibly , and one-third to the Government . He objected to the constitution of the conservancy board , and to the proposition to confer such powers on them . The Board of Trade had condemned . the mode of appointing the conservancy board , all the power being placed in the hands of the Corporation of Lonaoru I measure so important should be introduced . _ , _ « a * ., 0 „ ™ . ; v < it . i > \ rill . Perhaps the Speaker

    would give his opinion on that po . int .-The Speaker replied that the bill had been properly introduced as a private bUL—Alderman Cuiutt observed that the City had no pecuniary interest in tho matter , and merely acted for the purpose of performing a great public duty . —Six De Lacy Evans referred to the constitution of the Board of Conservators , which consisted of three memberQ from tho Admiralty , two from the Trinity House , and seven from the London Corporation ; and he submitted that the majority of the board were not men aeaeuainl ? qualified to deal with the subjects submitted to them . — Mr Henlicy spoke in favour of the board , and supported the bill—Mr . Aviva'ON ^ l ^^^ . ^^ htThat and so also did Sir JAiUi 3 Guaham , who thought that SJe interest * of tho public aud of the owners of property on each side of the river had been » verl 0 oked . _ Sir James Dinus supported the measure ; and the tharU reading was carried by 172 to 78 .
