It so happened that there were some to spare in the ordnai ^ stores , and , considering the short time they had to bo there , the accommodation vaa afforded . llio same indulgence had been granted at Aldershott ; but the Germans had had nothing more than what has been famished to the English officers . In answer to Mr . Nbwdeoate , Lord Palmerston stated that the Foreign Legion is not available for garrison or for active duty within the United Kingdom . THE RECENT COAL MINE EXPLOSION . Mr . Cayley asked whether the Government intends to employ any special means to naccrtain the real circumstances under which the disastrous loss of one hundred and ten ( some said one hundred and twenty ) lives had just taken place from an explosion in a coal nuiio in Glamorganshire?—Sir Gkorge Guky answered that three inspectors would attend the adjourned inquest , and assist in a searching investigation . THIS nURMIMO OIT THE KtJROPA . Lord Palmiskston , in answer to Captain Akohdaul , stated that the Government intends to take into consideration the propriety of erecting a monument to the memory of Colonel Moore and the men loat by tne burning of the Europa in 1861 . ¦¦ The Attorney-General , in answer to Mr .

Vexation of Oude ^ absolutely necessary , considering the conduct of the King and he ? hSeforTdenied the justice of the charge that had . been oWbTagainst the Indian Government of a tendency to annexation . Material improvements were advancing m India . The electric telegraph , under the direction of Dr . O'Shaughnesay , had been protracted [ fbur thousand miles at an fxpense of 2 , 000 , 0007 . Alterations had been made irr ? he Post-office ; reforms , Which were much needed , were in progress in connexion with ^ the __« ' < . « rf ,, r /» wns beine suppressed and educad to the latter
fon encou ^ e . With respect sub-£ , the hon gentleman observed that directors and imp ectors of schools had been appointed , •»*«*** - tional establishments of some pretension had been commenced in various places . In some of these , n ^ eetangs were held , at which an English essay was read , and occasional discussions took place in the ^ vernacular tongue . He could not , however , but confess that he was not altogether satisfied with the progress of education , and trusted that on tho next occasion , he should have a more satisfactory statement to offer on this head . Connoted with this subject was tho question , m . to what wasi done at home with regard to the exaauaAtixmB of candidates in this country . The total number of candidate * examined this year was fifty-six , just one-half of the , number who presented themselves last year . Viva voce examinations had been here substituted for written replies , with great success . It had been objected by tho member for Enniskillen that Irishmen had been ^ uniformly excluded from the bench of India . He ( Mr . Vernon Smith ) had taken occasion to inquire into that subject , and he found that tho hon . member ' s complaint was in fact a iuat one . When , therefore , vacancies occurred in tho places of three judges , he had filled up those vacancies by appointing two members of the Irish bar and an Irish gentleman . Mr . Vernon Smith concluded by moving certain resolutions in accordance with tho topics included in his speech . Sir Erskine Perry complained that tlio Court ol Directors of the East India Company , though merely trustees for tho Crown , assumed powers , and expended money out of the revenues of India , independently of the Board of Control . Tliero were somo discrepancies between tho speech of Mr . Vernon Smitli and tho statements of Lord Dalhcmaio and of tho Indian authorities with respect to tho finances of India and to the amount expended upon public works . A reform in the administration of justice in India was a need of most pressing importance ; but it would bo extremely injudicious to effect a large fldving by reducing tho salaries of civil servants , among whom there should too introduced a large number of nativea .

Tuesday , July 2 Hnd . LOB » LUCAN AND THE JUDGE-ADVOCATE OF TOO CRIMEAN BOARD . Lord Lucau called attention to the charges brought against him , by Mr . ViUiers in the House of Commons on the previous evening , and asserted that that gentleman had misrepresented what he ( Lord Lucan ) had eaid on a previous occasion- Ho merely intended to offer a . few remarks on certain defects in tho construction of military courts , as evidenced by the Chelsea Board , and on the impropriety of making a political partisan the legal adviser of such bodies . He denied that he had charged Mr . Villiors with purposely delaying tho reponb , and ho repudiated the insinuation that he had had communication Tvith Lord Hardingo on matters connected with the proceedings of the Board , and with theiTTeport-His Lordship concluded : — " I would give a piece of advice to tho learned gentleman , which ia , that holding as he does a judicial situation , and being supposed thereby to have the benefit of judicial immunity , ha should , in fiirturo be a little more careful in the langwk & i he uaea when speaking of othera .
