Leader Ojbieice , Saturday , March 1 . LAST NIGHT'S MIILIaMEiNT . HOUSE OF LORDS . TORTURE IN INDIA . The Earl of AkBEItSfAJiLE m mbyiag ; for some papers / adverted ; to the evidence which showed the continued UinTc ' tion of torture -upon the native iniabitants in the Madras Presidency . The only effectual mode to put a stop t © this practice would be , he said , to render the subordinate functionaries of the East India Company responsible to the Home Government and Parliament . ¦ Earl Gban-vt&le consented to produce the papers , but argued that sufficient responsibility existed among all the departments of the Company ' s service . ' Some bills were advanced respectivel y th rough a stage of progress , aad their Lordships adjourned at an early hour .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . THE CRIMEAN COMMISSION . In answer to Mr . T . Duncombe , Lord Palmerston said that Sir J . M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch could of course be allowed to be present at the meetings of the new Commissions , of it would be in the discretion of the Board whether those gentlemen should examine any of the witnesses . He also stated to Sir De Lao * Evans t ha t the 13 oard w ould have fu l l power to close the doors and go in secret at their discretion . THE SLAVE TRADE IN TURKEY . In answer to Mr .

THE OBIMEAN CO-MMISSIOJS ' . On the motion for going into Committee of Supplv Mr . Roebuck rose to bring forward his motion protesting against the appointment of a , Commifision toiuquire into the report of the Crimean Commission He entered into a history of the sufferings of the armv in the Crimea in 1854-55 , and of ^ he Stsbastopol Committee . He urged that the Commissioners appointed , to inquire into the state of the army in the Crimea were most competent men , that their repurt bore out all that had been said of the condition , of the army ; aud it implicated Sir Richard Airey Lords Lucan and Cardi gan , Colonel Gordon , and Uomruis sary General Filder . The Government ought to
have made the report the ground of trial by court - martial of these officers ; instead of which they had issued a commission to certain general officers to report on their report . Sir J . Pakinqton , who had given notice of an , amendment which he was precluded from moving by the forms of the House ,, said , although he wished inquiry into this matter , he could not support the manner in which it was sought by the motion , which prejudged the case of the officers named iu the Report . Under these circumstances he should abstain from entering into the discussion on the present occasion but wou \ d bring forward the question hiin 3 elf in a substantial form on a future day .
General Peel , who had been somewhat contemptuously alluded to by Mr . Roebuck , protested with strong emotion against the remarks which had been made upon 'him . Mr . F . Peel argued against the course taken by Mr . Roebuck , and went at length into a defence of the course taken b y . the Government . Mr . Bentinok opposed the motion ; and Mr . La yard , in an elaborate speech , urged many objections to the ne w Commission , which he declared was
far less satisfactory than that on which it was to sit in judgment , and that by the course the Government had taken they had prejudgedi ' the ; case , and "the Horse Guards had defied public opinion ^ Colonel NoRm defended the Commission . Sir Ds Lact EvANSjin a jDowerfud speech , pointed out a nJUffibefo ^ 'insEanee ^ inwhtch the present Government had failed in their duty to the army in the Crimea , and he especially attacked Colonel Gordon and Lord Panmure . .
Mr . A . Gordon defended his brother from the attack of Sir De Lacy Evans . Mr . GiiADSTdNE deprecated the tone which the debate had taken ; but objected to the appointment of the new Commission as insulting to the former Commissioners , and complicating the state of things by opening a new inquiry . Lord Palmerston urged that the turn which the debate had taken showed how inopportune the dis cussi o n , was . He denied that the Government inr tended to disparage the former Commission by the c ourse t h e y had taken , which was only intended to have full justice done to all parties . He defended the appointments of General Airey , Colonel Gordon , and Lord Cardigan , and contended that the imputations contained in Mr . Roebuck ' s motion were botii unjust and ill-timed .
After a few words from Lord Clacd > Hamilton and Sir De Lact Evans in explanation , Mr . Roebuck withdrew the motion . A single vote of six and a-half millions for the pay of the army was taken in Committee of Supply . The Consolidated Pond ( £ 1 , 681 , 000 la . 5 d . ) was read a tKird time and passed . The Mutiny Bnx and Marine Mutint Bilo were read a second time . Mr . " W . Patten obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend tho law relating to tho fencing of machinery in factories . Tho House then adjourned at half-pant twelve .
erences . THE ! EDMONTON MIUTIA . In anawer to Mr . Evelyn , Mr . Pjhel said that there were some regiments of militia which were not embodied , and it was usual to wait for the application of the Lord-Lieutenant of the county to have thorn called out for tz'aining . Mr . La yard stated that the Colonel of this regiment waa Lord Enfield , tho lieutenant-Colonel was his brother , and , in abort , the officers made up a family party , and it was one of tho greatest jobs he ever heard of . Mr . Bxno ( ono of tho officers in question ) , said tho officera were as nvuob . obliged to Mr . Evelyn for bringing this forward aa any person could be ; for they regi / ettad that the regiment had not been called out fov training lost year .
Lord Palmehsq ; ok denied that thero waa any job in this regiment ; it waa only oonatitutod on the required pxinoiplo on which tho militia waa b y l a w eetabliahed . He paid a compliment to tho eorvioo « of tho militia officers . Sir Erbiume Pbkuy ( who nevor hnd been mentioned by Mr . Layard ) explained why ho had felt it hie duty to join tho regiment , and said ho would have gone out to tho Crimea if necessary . Sir D . B Laos- Evans explained that a return of the name » of ojfiftcora in tho Onmoa lmd omitted all mention of hi » services , and elaborately «© t out thojjo of other omcora .
