He was next the central figure of a parliamentary scene, on the occasion of a too plentiful crop of election petitions and election compromises subsequent upon a general election. He made out such a case that, in defiance alike of Whigs and Tories, he obtained a committee to inquire intá election compromises. His next great ap- pearance was at the meeting of parliament in January 1855, when he gave notice of a motion for inquiring into the condition of the army before Sebastopol. To the undis- guised joy of the nation, R. carried his motion by an immense majority, and the administration of the Earl of Aberdeen was shattered to pieces. The Sebastopol Com- mittes sat, and the inquiry exercised great influence in the subsequent reconstruction of the War Department, and the reorganisation of our military, commissariat, and medical systems.

THERE seems to be a very general opinion in camp, says the special correspondent of the Allahabad paper, that the explosion at the Bala Hissar was not due to any accident, but was intentionally brought about by some of the enemy who had trusted to our occupying the place in force. Captain Shafto, who was examining the war material. stored in the godowns which have been destroyed, was careful to a fault in all his work; and it is argued that so great an explosion could not have occurred unless preparations had been made for it before- hand. Further, it is believed that the powder which did the mischief was lodged in vaults below the open ground within the walls; and of the existence of these vaults
we were quite in ignorance.
