replaced , or whether orders have been given to that effect . —General Pkel said that a regiment was about to proceed to tie Mauritius .
DKPABT 3 IENT OF JUSTICE . On the motion for adjournment till Monday , Mr . Wiltjlam Ewart asked the Chancellor of ttie Exchequer whether any measures are in contemplation for creating a Department of Justice for the promotion of useful legislation , the supervision of passing bills , and the simplification and precision of the wording of acts of Parliament , and other objects , in conformity -with a re-Solution which has already passed the House of Commons . sukmer sittings of parliament .
* Mt . CharUBS Forster 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 , via . from November to May , which was the practice until modern times .
COMPJENSATIOK FOK LOSS OF PROPERTY IN INDIA . Mr . Blackburn asked the President of the Board of 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 Trelawnt asked , with 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 in which such views shall be embodied . .
CLOTHING OF THE TROOPS 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 Pjeee , 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 , he did not know whether it was that which was sent out with the troops or whether it was made in India—* great quantity had been sent out to India . There had never been any complaint from the officers in command , but inquiries had been sent out on both subjects .
Lord Stanley , replying to Mr . Blackburn , said tliat 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 en its arrival in India . Mr . Disraeli , replying to Mr . Ewart , said that lie ¦ wa s 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 Trelayrny on the subject of chxtrch rates , he said that the Government was not prepared to introduce
a n-. ensuro on the subject this session , but they hoped to settle the question early next year . As to Mr . Forster ' s question , with regard to the sittings of Parliament , lie 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 was brought forward , the Government would give it a fair consideration . Lord John Eusskll said he thought it would be an improvement if Parliament mot 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 diacuB&ed at length before the vote was agreed to . — Several other votes were taken . A division was taken on the vote of 800 / . for models in Life Academy , Dublin , but it was carried by a majority of 148 to 24 . —On the vote of 2500 / . for Theological Professors at Belfast , a motion to strike out the greater part or the vote was made ; but , on a division , it was carried by a majority of 122 to 84 .
