Mr . Bucktox seconded the resolution . Dr . Webb proposed an amendment to tbe effect that tbe roposed pay and bounty should be increased and promotion rom the ranks instituted , and that the force should not be alleJ out except iu case of actual invasion . The amendment set bein : ; seconded fell to the ground , and the resoition was pat and carried unanimously . Mr . C . Geobgs proposed , and Mr .

Ur . GoiiBEXsaid that in two several years he had produced a budget in which he had appropriated two millions as sufficient for our warlike establishments . Everything fiat bad since occurred had confirmed him in that belief ! Let them look at tbe actual position of the defences of the conntry , and see what Lad been done this year . They had voted .- £ 14 , 700 , 223 for the army , navy , and ordnance , besides am-t'ier million for the Post-office contract for steampackets . By ibis means there were maintained between thirty and forty powerful steam vessels taken from the Peni . sular and Oriental , and the West India Mail Companies , and Cuuard ' s line , which conld be transformed into Trar 3 teamer 3 , and which , in the evpnt of the calamity of worid be found
war , to be among the largest vessels of the fcind , and which coald catch anything , and run away from anvthiiig . and run down anything , and do more destruction at sea than anything we had in the navy . ( Hear , hear . ) Therefore , with this million for the Post-office contract , there hid been , in round numbers , fifteen millions voted for the purposes of self-defence . That sum was greater iian the rental of th 9 four metropolitan counties "What wa < now paid for the army and navy and ordnance would pay 10 s . a week ( no very high average of wages ) to 509 , 00 !) agricultural labourers in a year , a 3 many as were required lo raise tbe food consumed in England , the produce of her own soil . ( Hear , hear . ) Or , ii two years of ids expenditure were laid out in vested interests it would
give a peunauent fund for the maintenance of 10 , 000 schoolmasters at £ 100 each per annum . ( Loud cheers , ) This was what their public instructors called leaving the country absolntely defenceless . ( " Hear , " and cheers . ) Why no country spent so much in that way except France . This conntry paid more for her naval and military than Russia did for tbe whole of her civil and military establishments , and twice as much as America did for all her public departments , both federal and state . ( " Hear , hear , " and cheers . ) There was a lavge number of ships in doc ' s or in ordinary , and 200 in commission , and 49 , 000 seamen and marines had been voted , while there were in existence ordnance stores , comprising shot , and shell , and powder , and accoutrements , and everything necessary for war , either in field , or in fortress , amounting to six millioas sterling . There
• were , therefore , materials io repletion in the dockyards for bnildinj : ships , and abundance of ordnance stores , yet there were every year vote 3 of fourteen or fifteen millions for those purposes . It was true that , the money had been shamefully wasted and misapplied , and it was in consequence of their having at the heads of departments men of whom Englishmen did not like to speak the truth—men wno . unloss nature had revoked her eternal laws in their jartiiular cases , were physically and mentally incapable on account of age . Instead of having at the heads of departments men of masculine and vigorous intellect , they had only childlike trimmers , and they had at the Horse GuardB those who , instead of telling the people , after all the money cad been spent that they were in a position of safety , had originated outcries about danger which ought only to have proceeded fromfemale 3 or children . ( ' Hear , hear , " and laughter . ) It wa 3 no use mincing the matter , the heads of nepirtments were generally selected through favour , or
patronage , or influence , or on account of some hereditary pretensions , to tbe occupation of tbe first places . ( Cheers . ) Take an illustration of this . There was a gentleman called Erjah Brooke , who was about to be feted by the merchants in the city because he had put down piracy in the Indian Arclnpala ^ o . Sow , wo kept twenty-five ships of war in tbe Indian Ocean , for the purpose of pntting down p racy , with an adajJMl and a full staff of officers of the fleet , yet a prirata gentleman went- out in his yacht to tbe Indian Arcbipelajo , and was said to have pat down piraoy there . anJ got rank and appointment for doing that for which oar admirals had been paid . ( Great cheers . ) Mr . Anderson , -who wa 3 tbe head of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company slated that there were two hundred steam vessels which conld be made to carry sixty-four pounder guns at an outlay of £ 100 or £ 200 , and tbe fittings COU ' . d bo so altered as that tbe vessels could be ready in an four U ) ( Mr . Cobden ) saw with regret anything which tended to cause onr merchant Teasels , the great promoters
oi peace , to be converted into vessels of destruction ; but if there was any want of more defences against surprise , he said that Mr . Anderson ' s " Sea militia" plan was a perfect one , and its great recommendation was , that vessels could not be used for the repression of tbe people , and that they could not tend to tbe demoralisation of our young men imi . » ) ? -l-iryleboue would have to provide from 1 , 000 to 2 , 000 young men for the militia . Would they be able to cetsuhstitutes , or would those persons who took the £ * bounty bo lbs kind of characters to come when they were called ? Four pounds was inst the cost of a steorejre passage to America . ( Cheers and great laughter . ) He wouk not go into that question . ( Hear , " hear . ) 2 * ° " ^ » * ? 7 ali a § recd that tbe m ° S would not work . ( "Hear , " and cheers . ) He maintained that this measure was not necessary . If it was , the En « lish people Trho wero moat combative , and met every war , not only half wav , ii , three pwts-whose ereat faulf . if . Wr >» ts-f &

— - ^—— M ^^ —| P ^—W ^—LION HUNTING IN KATTIAWAR . ( Prom ttie « O verland Telegraph . ' ) In the burning month of June three of us left eamp at Eajkote , and p itched our tents at Leab , where we found hog very numerous ; and notwithstanding the thick jungle , we managed to make , a few porkers bite the dust . The rains falling dispersed the party , two returning to camp , when I wended my way northward , and established myself at Drangdra . On the 19 th , while munching my solitary dinner in the evening , myPuggee came in bringing with him a Bhurwan , who informed me that while driving hia herd homewards , a large lion sprung on and tilled one of his cows .
20 th . Rose at daylight , and much against the persuasion of the Mahoot , ' Peer Khan , mounted the elephant , and proceeding about one mile to the north * west of the city , the dead cow was pointed out from a small eminence , and on its remains were feasting a fine lion and lioness , which walked off on my attempting to go within decent shooting distance of them ; and as the sowars sent after me by the Rajah had missed me in the jungle , the Janwurs were soon invisible . After several hour ' s pugging , I again sighted them about 150 yards off making way at a quick walk ; and after a fruitless search , we returned to the tents , having learnt ( as the Mahoot had foretold ) that the cool of the morning is not the most favourable time for lion shooting .
21 st . The Puggee came in at eleven p . m ., and reported a lion marked down , near the same place we had found one yesterday . At etarting , the day was threatening , and ere we reached the ground the tain came down accompanied with a storm of thunder and lightning . The lion was lying under a clump of the Euphorbia Antiquarium , with bis head between his paws ; when the elephant was pushed up within ten feet of him , he arose , and at the same moment received a ball into his chest . The enraged animal , with a loud roar , showed tail , and rocked-like fairly dived through the enormous mass of Euphorbia bushes under which be had been lying , and which one
would have fancied would have proved a stopper to an elephant . The lion now making an opposition thunder , with his roaring tail and mane erect , charged first at one horseman , then at another , until he had increased the circumference of their circle pretty considerably , when he took shelter under a bash . On the elephant approaching within fifty yards , down he came in gallant style , and was only induced to turn by a ball right through him , when nearly under the elephant ' s trunk . He now lay down under a bank , and an unfortunate horseman going up too near , the lion charged as if unhurt , and , after a chase of about one hundred yards , making a succession of
bounds , boned the horse , which fell near the elephant , when I checked the lion with another ball , and the horse ( since deed ) and his rider escaped , the former much mangled , and the latter ' a back scratched by the animal ' s claws . After this he charged once or twice more ; and only fell after two more balls , the last into his brain . I returned to tent thoroughly drenched . When the lion was brought in and was being skinned , many applications were made for a little of the fat , the whiskers and claws , all of which are , in some way or another , used for medicinal pur * pose 3 by the natives . 22 nd . Found at Bandooree-ka-kote , on a small hill
under a large Euphorbia , a very large lioness ; in the act of charging out , she was knocked over by a single ball in the chest , and rolled under the elephant ' s trunk ; at the same time , a large bkek-maned lion and a young lioness nearly full-grown bolted : and we followed , but the sowars were too cautious to keep him long in sight ( from yesterday ' s accident ) , and he moved off whenever the elephant got within 150 yards of him . On returning we found a fine cub sucking the nearly dead lioness , and secured it ; wended home in heavy rain . At night shot a large male hyena .
23 rd . The black lion was reported as seen entering a nullah of tall reeds at daybreak . These reeds reached , as we found , over the | howdah , on putting the elephant in ; and we were glad , after capturing another fine cub in the briar , to get out again , the elephant sank so deep in the mud . Sent for and procured about 200 buffaloes ( of the Rajah's ) and turned them in , and when after hard work they came on the lion , he wounded one of them on the back , but only showed himself too far off and entered again , when heavy rains obliged us to retire .

^ HpLOSS OF TUE BIRKENIIEAD . The Wing is an extract of a letter from Lieutenant Girardot , 43 d Light Infantry : — Simon's-bay , March 1 . Mj dearFatlier ,-I wrote one letterto say I was safe , 1 ut for fear that should not reach you , I will tend this to say I am quite well . I remained ou the wreck until she went down ; the suction took me tern some way , and a man got hold of my leg , hut I managed to ^ Khim offand come up , and struck off fur some pieces ot wood » t were on the water , ana started for land , which was ahout two milesoft ; I was in the water ahout five hours , as the shore was so rocky , and the surf ran so high , that a great many were lost trying to land . Nearly all those that took to the water without their clothes on were taken by sharks ; hundreds of them were all around us , and I saw men taken hy them quite close to me , but aa I was dressed ( having on a flannel shirt and trousers ) they preferred the ethers . I was not in the least hurt , and am happy to say kept my head clear ; most of the officers lost their lives from losing their presence of mind , and trying to take money with themand from
, not throwing off their coats . There was no time to get the paddlebox boats down , and a great many mere might have been saved , but the boats tbat were got down deserted us and went offi Prom the time she struck to when she went down was twenty minutes . When I landed I foand an officer of the 12 th Lancers , who ' had swam off with a life-preserver , and fourteen men , who had got on with bits of wood like myself . We walked up the country eleven miles to a farm belonging to Captain Smales , formerly of the 7 th Dragoon Guards , who was very kind to us , and all the men that were got on sbore came up to him . I hope the government will make up our lots to U 5 , as 1 have saved nothing . Melford , Of lhe Oth , the ensign I spoke of as having his wife on board with him , went down ; she , poor thing , was left here when the ship left for Buffalo Mouth ; I have just heen to see her , and she lorika more dead than alive , left all alone at this distance from her home , but we shall do all we can to be of service to her . There is a report that many have been killed in tbe Amatola Mountains , and our poor doctor was killed Eome little time back . God grant that we may all be spared to meet again . Ever your affectionate son , Fbank Gikabdot .

[ The following appeared in our Second Edition of last week ] : — Tower Eamlets ElbCtion . — A public discussion between Messrs- W . Newton and A . Ayrton on the Labour question , took place on Thursday evening , at the Woodman Tavern , White-street , Bethnal-green . Dr . Brooke in the chair . Mr . Newton commenced the discussion by dwelling on the importance of the Labour question being made the chief feature of the Tower Hamlets e-ection , instead of a mere party cry . Political power was only useful to promote the social elevation of the people . Labour was entirely neglected in the Legislative Assembly . They had been told to extend commerce and manufactures as the snrest means of benetitting Labour , but they found that pauperism increased in proportion to the increase of their trade . Government had taken no steps to remedy this evil . People were
Starving in the midst of p lenty , yet they were told that H was impossible to interfere between Capital and Labour . He was in favour of the most perfect system of Free Trade ; but while this was being brought about , steps must be taken to find employment for those thrown out of work by its operation ; thus . preventing them coming in competition with each other , and reducing the standard of wages . The only remedy was , to increase tbe fund for employing Labour ; this could only be done by increasing consumption . The application of Labour to the land would drain tbe surplus Labour from the manufacturing market , and create a demand for home consumption . —Mr . A- Ayrlon said , the increase of population was the great evil under which the people laboured . This increase was entirely among the manufacturing , and not the agrioulturalpopulation . How to deal witti this
, Surplus was the great question of the day . Wild theories were characteristic of the age . The only remedy he would for one moment advocate was emigration . He had tried it himself , and found it successful . There was no field for industry at home to be compared to those abroad . AH the land that wou d pay for cultivation was cultivated . It was warring against providence to cultivate lands not fitted to produce food , but courting providence , to emigrate to more fertile fields . —Mr . Newton showed the superiority of Home Colonisation to Emigration , both in point of comfort and expenditure . In 1835 we exported sis times the quantity of cotton goods which we did in 1814 ; but the " actual value received for tbe goods was the srlme in both years , tho chief reduction being made out of the labour of the working man . —
Mr . Ayrton dwelt upon tha immense capital necessary to reclaim bad lands , and expressed his opinion that considering the price of provisions the rate of wages was tever so favourable ns at the present time , and that our manufactures by the increased employment they gave to our population , were the great blesBing of the age . Mr . Ayrton then retired , it being on « of the conditions on which he discussed that no vote should be come to on the subject . —Mr . Hart in an eloquent manner , moved a resolution expressive of the opinion of the meeting , that Mr . Kewton was a fit candidate for the representation of the borough , —Mr . W . Davis seconded the resolution , which was carried with four dissentients . —Mr . Newton stated that the numerous promises of support which he had received , and the large meetings which had deolared in his favour , induced him no longer to suspend his decision , but at once to announce his determination to go to the poll . —The meeting , which was densely crowded , then adjourned . Suicide oi a Brother asd Sister . —A very painful
feeling has been created in the neighbourhood of Burmantofts , near Leeds , by two suicides in one family—the victims of their own rash acts , being young persons , standing in the relation of brother and sistur . Mavy and James Smith were daughter and son of a man named Smith , a handle-setter , of Bermantofts , with whom they lived . Both wero unmarried , and Mary was twenty-three years of ago . From some hidden cauBe she had for a short period been in a desponding state . On the 25 th ult . she left her father ' s house , and was not heard of until Monday last , when her body wa * found in the river . A jury sat upon the body , and returned a verdict of " Pound Drowned . " The body was interred on "Wednesday . On Thursday morning James Smith , brother of the dflooaaed , was found hanging in his father ' s kitchen , quite dend , and a verdict returned of ' Temporary Insanity . " Like his sister , James had been in a state of despondency for several weeks ; and he appears to have been very much shocked at her melancholy death .
Murder of two Children asd Suicide of the Father . —Up to a late hour last night a most painful excitement prevailed at Putney and its surrounding neighbourhood , in consequence of the discovery of two boys locked in each other ' s arms and close to their bodies the body of a man about forty years old , in a deep piece of water near the high bridge , and abutting on the late Vice-Chancellor ' s seat . The bodies when taken out proved to be two fine-grown youth 3 , the eldest about eleven years of age , and the youngest about seven . The man alluded to , who proves to be the father , was found with his legs tied with willow bands , as also his arms ; be lay close to his sons , who had also been tied together with two looped-strings ; they were very decently dressed . The man was also well-dressed as a mechanic , but had no money upon him . The bodies were got out of the water by two waterman , named Peters and Alexauder , and the former identified the man and two boys aa having seen them walking along tbe towing-path between
seven and eight o clock on Thursday evening . He first saw the two children , the elder cany ing the youngest . The elder boy said he was following his father , who was on before him . He afterwards met the father , who was walking with hit armr down , and seemed very dejeoted . Ir further appeared that the man had been trying on the previous night to obtain beds for himself and ohildren , but whether he succeeded is not at present known . Late yesterday afternoon a woman , very decently dressed , called at the Chelsea-station , and from information , she gave there was no doubt he was her husband , and she proved that he was a basket maker , living at Barking , in Essex , and employed several men ; tbat tho two boys were by a previous marriage ; and she produced a letter which she had received from him , in which be said that when she recoived that hn should be no moro , and his boys would go with him , and he only wished . he had the girl with him , lie concluded his letter by stating that his wife ' s temper was the sole cause of his ruin .
Sbrious Poaching Encouster nkar York . —Early in the morning of Wednesday , near Shipton , a barbarous attack was made upon Richard Kellington , the head gamekeeper of the non . Payan Dawnay , of Benningbrough , the late High Sheriff of this county , by a gang of poachers , who first knocked the keeper down with a stone , and then fired at him with a gun , when ha was seriously wounded , having received the whole cuargo of shot in his back , shoulders , neck , and right arm . An investigation has been instituted with a view of tracing tho parties to this atrocious outrage . Mysterious Disappearance . —Yesterday , information was forwarded to the different metropolitan police stations
that a young gentleman , allied to a noble family resident in the vicinity of Whitehall , had disappeared under circumstances that lead to strong suspicion that he hns met with some unfair treatment . lie was last seen about 4 o ' clock in the afternoon of Thursday the lat inst ., near the Elephant and Castle , Newington , when ho sitid he was going home to dinner , and , notwithstanding every exertion and the offer of a reward of £ 100 , no clue can be obtained to him . Every hospital or other place where , from the possibility of acoident or sudden illness , he might have been taken , has been searched in vain . He is described as about sixteen , fair , wearing a sbepperd ' s plain black Oxonian coat and groy trowscrs , his linen being marked
Scene is an Ikqubst-boom . —On Thursday Mr . Bedford held an inquest at Clm-ing-eross Hospital on the body of Catharine Sauce , aged five years and eight months , whose death had resulted from burns received on Tuesday evening During "the course of the inquiry , the coroner animadverted on the practice of parties bringing one of the unfortunate parents to identify the body . In this case he had seen the mother seated on tbe stain in great grief , after having been obliged to view the body of her child . And it certainly was moBt unfeeling to harrow the feelinss of the parents or near relatives . The beadle said it w ; Js no fault of bis he could not know the feelings of the mother ; it was impossible in all cases to avoid summoning the parents . It was no business of bis .-The Coroner ( indignantly ) : What . no business of yours to consult the feelings of your followbeings ? Beadle ( angrily ); I have as much feeling a 8 you
or any otner gentleman oi the jury , but I cannot always produce persons who are able to identify . He waa proceeding in an excited strain , when the coroner said he could not have offensive expressions used whilst performing his duty and if the beadle persisted in insaulting him , bo should order him to be put out of the room . The beadlo repeated the offensive expressions , when the coroner directed a policeman , who was in the inquest-room , to put him out of tho room , which was done .
