On the mot;;;;Torgeii;gl7tocolmitt7eOOthis bill, Lord PORTMAN said that be had had the pleasure some twenty years ago of bearing the Debbi lord (Brougham) in • memorable speech of seven hours in length introduce pro posals for the reform of the law ; but he regretted to add that • mans of errors had crept into legislation in conse quence of the imperfections contained in the various acts of parliament which had becu passed for the purpose of amending the law. He feared that every attempt at con solidation and revision must necararily be accompanied by this evil. Lord BROUGHAM observed that he had reason to be lieve that no litigation whatever had sprung up out of the measures for the amendment of the law which he had had the honour of introducing into parliament. Their lordships then went into committee, and reported the bill without amendments. PUBLIC WORKS (MANUFACTURING DLSTRICTB) BILL ---- The report of amendments, after a short conversationoru received.

Lord CHELMSFORD moved an humble address to her Majesty for copies of any papers in the poteession of the Secretary of State for the Colonies containing any charges of evaded bacassistent with their judicial office against S . it George Mereoran and Sir Anastesio Xidian. late judges id.. of the Supreme Council of Justice in the lonian The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that he thought it was a dangerous precedent to establish to produce papers under such circumstances, when no object as regarded the 'Public serous could be attained by so doing. He had proposed to give them without the names of the parties, but he was told that would not be accepted. He knew that noble lords opposite could obtain the papers if they pleased, but if they were produced be knew that it would creete a feeling of distrust and want of confidence on the part of those who for the future might be called upon to give evidence of facts which might be necessity for the public service. .(Hear, ham) If he had said any thing against the judges it bad been absolutely forced and extracted from him, but he had said nothing except for the purpose of putting the saddle on the right horse, and defending those who had served the ooustry faithfully and well. He still objected to produce the papers, but he would not divide the house upon the question for the reasons be had already stated. If the boom should insist on the production of those papers they would be produced ; bat the parties mentioned in them might reasonably exclaim, "Oh ! save us from =lrian& :" and he could not but feel that such a course would inflict a heavy blow on the public service. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY said the noble duke had placed him self in this dilemma ; if he did believe the production of the papers would serionaly injure the public service he was either abandoning his duty in not resisting the motion to the utmost, or he was making a confession of monitorial weakness or of division in the government with which he was connected such as was never made before in the face of parliament. (Hear, hear.) It was said by the noble duke that it would be most inconvenient to the public service to make that house a court of appeal from the colonial courts. This, however, was not an appeal against a colonial court. It was an appeal against the Colonial-office, against the colonial officials, on behalf of persons who be lieved they bad been most unjustly treated. It was an appeal against Sir H. Storks, as appeal against the conduct of the Secretive of State in approving and confirrniog the measure adoptedhy the Lord High Commiasi , tier ; it was an appeal not against any judicial proceeding, but for the vindication of the independence of justice, and he hoped for his part that the day would never come when they in that house should cease to hear an appeal on behalf of any persons who believed themselves to be the victims of oppression, petty tyranny, or political intrigue, and that that hones would never cease to he a plane of appeal and a refuge for all per sons who were unjustly oppressed in any portion of her Majesty's dominions, or in any territoey which had the happiness of being under her rule. (Cheers.) Earl RUSSELL thought it very extraordinary that the noble earl, after having at the commencement of his speech repudiated soy intention of casting as imputation on Sir H. &mks, should have based the whole came on an act of great injustice alleged to have been committed by the I nerd High Commissioner. When the noble earl spoke of petty tyranny he would ask who could be the petty tyrant referred to if he were not Sir H. Storks? The question seamed to resolve itself into this, whether or not Sir H. Storks was a fit person to be entrusted with the high duties and responsibilities of Lord High Commissioner? He deprecated any reflection upon Sir Henry Storks, whose ability, character, and ition entitled him to the highest oonsWeration. (Hear, hear.) Earl GREY contended that any roan, and especially a judge, who was removed for misconduct had a right to know by whom the charge was made, and what was the evidence in support of it. Sach had not been done in this instance, and the production of papers was called for that an explanation might be afforded. He held that no man should be per mitted to whisper a charge which he would not openly tome forward to maintain. (Hear, hear.) He would not allow any man's character to be whimpered away on a charge which lie had not the memo of ausweriog. (Hear, hear.) The removing these gentlemen without charges being esta blished egaiust them was a grave mistake. This question had an importance beyond the particular subject, an im portance arising from the necessity of maintaioing the highest judicial independence throughout the dominions of the Mazda crows, and he thought the course adopted in the present instruct, tended to impair it. (Hear, hear.) Earl GRANVILLE said that he fully concurred with the noble earl opposite in hoping their lordabipz would never be backward in inquiry when charges of injustice were forced upon their attention. He did not, however, consider that any such case had been made out here. Hs held it to be of the highest importance that in dealing with the affairs of distant dependencies, and in treat ing with persons in whom we had f ull reliance, great confidence would be shown, and great discretion should be observed by individuals in bringing such subjects under the notice of par liament. The noble duke received these papers with the signature of the accuser attached to them, and he thought the noble duke would have lain wider great responsibility if he had shrunk from executing his duty in the meaner fur which the noble and learned lord bad now called him to account. (Hear, hear.) If hie noble friend, with the evi dence before him, furnished from the spot, had reappointed these judges, be would have justly subjected himself to grave censure on the part of their lordships' limas (Cheers.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE mid, that after what had fallen from the noble earl, be presumed the noble and learned lord would be satisfied with extracts from the despatches. Lord CHELMSFORD assented. The motion. io 'modified form, was than agreed to, and their lordships adjosrood at 20 minutes past o'clock. HOUSE OF OOMMONS--TarssDAy, JULY 9. The Snatch took the chair at 4 o'clock.

INFANTICIDE IN ENGLAND AND WO Wt Mr. COX gave notice that he should to-morrow all attention to the increase of infanticide in England and Wales. THE PANAMA ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA. Sir S. NORTHCOTE gave notice that on the motion for going into committee of supply on the packet service he should call attention to the subject of the route to Aus tralia elk l'snnnm, and inquire chat was the intention of the government in reference to it. CONVICTS IN AUSTRALIA. Mr. MARSH said that two years ego the committee on transportation stated that the number of convicts who escaped from West Australia was very small. By late ad vice from Australia, however, it appeared that no fewer than 40 convicts had lately landed at Sydney, and that one of them was furnished with a complete set of house breaking inipleraenta Under these circumstances, he Wed the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the government intended to take any measures to prevent con victs who had been transported to Western Australia from going, after the expiration of their sentence, to any of the other colonies in Australia. Mr. C. FORTESCUE replied that with respect to the landing of the oonvicts at Sydney the government had no in formation. In respect to the movements of convicts whose sentences bad expired, the government had no power to in terfere ; they were at liberty to go where they pleased ; but with regard to those conditionally pardoned, there was a special recommendation of the penal servitude committee which would receive the bat consideration of the govern ment. ORANGE LODGES IN PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether there had been received in the Colo nial-office a bill for the incorporation of the Orange Lodges of Prince Edward's Island, British North America, and, if so, whether the government would think it their duty to advise the crown to assent to such a measure! Mr. C. FORTESCUE stated, in reply, that his noble friend the Colonial Secretary had heard, with great regret, that a bill calculated to excite bitter religious animosities bad been adopted by the local legislature ; the bill, how ever, had not yet been received at the Colonial-office, and, therefore, it would be impossible and improper for him to state at that moment what advice the Secretary of State would give to the crown as to confirming the bill or other wise. has bees given to the Jaanre for replying to the British ultimatum? I heard that ten days further have been gives. Mr. LAYARD—I am not aware that any such intima tion Ilse bees received. I was at the Foeeign•o®ce an hour ago, and up to that time such information had sot been received. be no doubt that the power of Eogland was in creased is an enormous ratio to other powers by the introduction of steam. (Rear, hear.) But we were also liable to more sudden attacks thus before. (Hear, hear.) The two principles were quite compatible. The Federal navy could not prevent Southern privateers from molesting their commerce all over the world, and so it would always be. With steam, sudden attacks might be made upon points where they were least expected. The result was that we must make certain valuable points secure. (Hear, hear.) Wherever there was • point from which our Met might be drawn off —se, for instance, our colonies, or a dis tant part of our own country—there, in came like Portsmouth and Plymouth, it was essential to protect them from the effects of a coup-de-main. Mr. MONSELL said the points at which to defend Ports mouth were not at Portsmouth itself, but at Cherbourg and Toulon ; arid England ought to have such a powerful fleet of iron clad ships that alto would be is a position at the breaking out of war to destroy those resources by which slate an enemy could approach our shores. Mr. PULLER supported the bill, and Colonel STILES op ' posed it. Mr. 08E0/LEE said that twelve millions of money did not remnant the actual expenditure involved in these works; for when the cost of their armament was taken into account the total would be at least twenty millions. He objected to the plan of the government that it was fragmentary, and that the house was called upon to grant fragmentary votes, leading to an indefinite outlay of money, without providing a sufficient guarantee sad security 1 Cy would,nst invasion , from fact, be wh t e row ve fn: away thr q uarter it might is fatuous attempt to surround Portsmouth with fortifications of masonry covered with iron. Lord PALMERSTON condemned the amendment of Sir F. Smith as neither more nor less than a motion to throw out the bill, stop these works, reverse the decision deli berately arrived at by the house, and act in opposition to the general sense and intentions of the country. Mr. Cobden had undoubtedly been a successful ama teur diplomatist ; but he warned the house by the example of America how they entrusted the public defences to the hands of amateur generals ; for in America, where a military uniform and a cocked hat were aufficient to qualify a man for the command of an army, they had seen that instead of Richmond being captured by the Federals in 90 days, as had been predicted, the 90 days had not even yet begun, and the rebels were daily expected at Washington. The noble lord also replied to the various objections that had been raised against the proposal of the government, and reiterated his opinion, founded upon the advice of the most experienced military men, that the contemplated works were essential to the security of our naval arsenals and dockyards ; and that what ever might be the value of iron-cased ships it was absolutely necessary that they should be supported by permanent land defences. . . . —" On a * division the amendment was negatived by 132 to 61. The bill was then rued a second time. AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES BILL. . Lord7ielifitit:STol4,On moving the wood reeding of this bill, said—This is • bill come down from the Houma of Lords, and was introduced into the house by the Lord Chancellor. The object of that bill is to authorise the sale of about 320 of the smallest livings in the Lord Chancellor's gift, with • view to their being purchased, as they probably will be, by the landowners in the pariahs. to which they belong, and that the purchase money should be employed either in the augmentation of these livings or the augmentation of other livings of • similar character. The great majority of these livings are of the value of from 1001. to 3001. • year, and it is obvious that that is not an income sufficient for the incumbent of An incumbent of a living yielding 1001. a year w ould bably have • curate; the Income remaining would be 40r - a year, and the time hugone by when • clergyman is passing rich with 401. • year. This measure is no doubt • great sacrifice of patronage on the part of the Lord Chancellor, because be gives up the patronage of 320 livings ; but my noble and learned friend, actuated by • desire to improve the condition of the church of England, is willing to make that sacrifice of patronage which in virtue of his office he exercise.. Many of these livings—livings they can hardly be celled—many of these cures have • church barely useful; most of them have no schools ; in thort, they are in that condition we might suppose to be the result of so very in adequate a provision for the clergyman of the perish. My noble and learned friend contemplates that the income of these livings may be increased by one-third, or perhaps one half, and they may thus be rendered sufficiently remunerative to induce gentlemen of good education to accept them. Now, it has been very much complained of of late that there is • disinclination on the part of young men to enter the church. That may arise from various causes. There are certainly theological discussions which may embarrass some young men who are desirous of entering into holy orders, but there is no doubt that the smallness of the income pre vents many young men from entering the church. I shall not enter into the details of the bill, but I am persuaded that the house will concur in the opinion expressed by some of the warmest supporters of the church of England, that this is • bill greatly calculated to promote the interests of the church, and that it is highly deserving the support of this house. Mr. BARNES mid be did not rise to oppose the second reading of this bill from any factious motives, but he felt impelled to do so from a strong conviction that it erred in principle, and that the subject was one which demanded the consideration of this house. This bill raised the ques tion of buying and selling livings—(he&r)—and the holm was now asked directly to sanction that practice. That was • practice which, in his opinioo, wee adverse to the best interest' of the church of England, and wee utterly opposed to the spirit of Christianity. For these memos and believ ing that the church would be seriously da maged by the paining of the bill, he would move that it be read • second time that day two months. Lord HENLEY bad much pleasure in seconding the amendment, and expressed his wonder that the bill had not, before it reached it., present stage, met with greeter opposition. He could not allow it to proceed further without entering his protect against the development of that system which he believed to be the worst feature of the church of England—he meant the selling of livings, which, if further extended, would tend towards the downfall of that church. Mr. HUBBARD said he must altogether demur to the de claration given by the noble lord who had just sat down, of the system of the church of England with regard to church patronage. There was no such thing as the church of Eng land selling its offices. (Hear, hear.) The thing was utterly illegal. A patron could only sell the power of instituting to a certain cure of souls a person who upon anterior Lions had been pronounced by the bishop • person worthy for the cure of souls. (Hear, hear.) The question really was, by whom should that office be exercised with reference to the 'brims enumerated in the ;schedule of this bill. He confessed he would much rather the noble and learned lord had thought it consistent with his own comfort and conve nience to have found good incumbents for all of them. (Hear, hear.) He sr nit certainly demur to the high praise which had been awarded to the Lord Chancellor for giving up this patronage. The noble and learned lord had got rid of all the dross and all the labour while he reserved for his own purposes all the patronage which was of Loy value. (Hear, hear.) It would be a great boon to the parishes mentioned in the bill if these livings fell into the hands of the landed proprietor, connected with those parishes themselves, and he co mewed that the bill, if properly managed, might be Dm mews of restoriug the patronage to the hands of those who from their property and influence would be the best administrators of the trust. He was afraid, however, they would never get any one to give ten years' purchase for • living of 1001. • year, and that the scale taken by the bill was utterly unsuitable to the circumstances of the Cabe. He trusted that part of the measure would be very much modified in committee. He did not think the bill wee open to the very severe opposition and criticism given to it by the mover and seconder of the amendment, but at the same time he should not be sorry to see it withdrawn in order that it might be introduced in an improved form next sesion. Mr. HADFIELD, who rose amidst loud cries of "divide," said that the cure of over one million of souls— the: was to my more than the whole established church of Scotland—was made by this bill the subject of sale and auction. It was a shame that • bill of this kind should be the subject of discussion in the House of Commons. Mr. DILLWYN said he had no doubt the patronage of these small livings was • source of annoyance to the Lord Chancellor ; but 'he did not think they ought to be made • matter of sale. They should be distributed for the benefit o f the church, as they were held in trust for the church. He did not think it right that the property of the church should pass into private hands, as that would tend to prevent reform in the church. &Ir. WALPOLE said that public opinion would never tolerate a simoniscal contract, or the sale of a trust. But that was not the question here. The question was whether the patronage should not be transferred from the Lord Chancellor to private individuals when they knew that the parishes would be benefited by such transfer. (Hear.) He thought that • great boon would be conferred on the whole community if the clergy were placed in • position which would enable them to discharge their duties Pi the manner they ought to be performed. (Hear, hear.) The house divided— For the second reading 179 Against The bill was then read • second time. ALKALI WORKS REOCLATION BILL. This bill, u amended, wu ooseideced and agreed to. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. The house then proceeded to consider the amendments to this bill. Some further verbal amendments were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third tiros to-morrow (this day). PROYD3SOEY NOTES An BILLS OF EXCHANGE GROWING CROPS SEIZURE (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 2, Mr. LONGFIELD moved an amendment extending the provisions of the bill to the superior courts. Mr. (YHAGAN opposed the motion. After a abort discurion ' in which Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Butt, and Mr. McMahon took part, The amendment was negatived on a division, the numbers ping, for the amendment, In; and against it, 3 9 .

Mr. Arkwright obtained 14 wickets. At the commencement of the innings of I Zingari, Hon. T. de Gray made a food stand for 38 ; but after his for they appeared to be going lunch to the bad, till Captain Parnell came to the rescue, and when joined by Mr. Tredcroft, the phase of things was soon altered. Captain Parnell played well, and marked 51, being then bowled by Colonel Bathurst. Mr. Tredcroft gained his 27 in a very lively manner, leaving Mr. Arkwright (not out) with 6.

Several incideuts throughout the game excited shouts of laughter. The One Arm gained a victory by a large majority, and the batting of B. Neal (well known in Peckham) really astonished the spectators, as he scored the large number, in the second innings, of 116. The like may be said of Langerlon, of Kingston, who contributed 104.

SHELLEY inquired when the report of the Penal Servitude COURIAISKIO would be laid upon the table. Sir U. GREY replied that the report had been already laid on the table on Monday week, and sent with the em dance to be printed. The delay, therefore, did not arias with him. MONUMENTS IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY. Mr. AYRTON inquired of the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what conditions monuments erected by public subecriptioo, in memory of eminent pub lic men, could be placed in Westminster Abbey ; and whether it was the fact that fees to the extent of 2001. were demanded by the dean and chapter for permission to place the bust of the late Sir G. C. Lewis in the Abbey ; and for what Rurposie the fees were applied. Sir G. GREY—Not having myself any information on the subject of the hoe. member's question. I sent • copy of his notice to the Dean of Westminater, with a re quest that be would supply me with the means of answering the question. The best way of replying will probably be to read the statement with which I have in consequence been furnished. (Hear ' beer.) " The power of granting or re fusing permission to erect monuments in the abbey rests exclusively with the dean, except when the House of Com ' mons, by • vote and grant of public money, takes the matter out of his bands. I have invariably refused to allow the erection of 'datum, as encroaching on apace which ought to belong to worshippers, and is already unduly encumbered with stone and marble.

The above sum of 184/. 13e. 14., apportioned according to fixed usage to the (aim, is not so much spared to the Dean and Chapter, which they must otherwise have spent for the austentation of the building, inasmuch as a fixed proportion of their income is annually assigned to that object, entirely irre spective of any accidental additions of this kind. If the fees seem high, I can only urge that we are anxious to re duce as far as possible the number of monuments admitted into the abbey." (Cries of "Hear, hear," and "Oh, oh.") DELHI PRIZE MONEY. Mr. P. WYNDHAM asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Delhi prise money recently distributed amoented to the sum of 3,557,917 rs. Sir C. WOOD replied that the money distributed did not amount to the sum mentioned by the hon. gentleman. A portion bad been reserved to meet contingent claims which had not yet been decided. TRH HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. Mr. WYLD wired the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies if her Majesty's government had acquiesced in the arrangements for the reconstruction of the Hudson's Bay Company ; if her Majesty's government had received from the government of Iftnada any remonstrance against the attempts of the Huchon'm Bay Company to exercise autho rity ever territories claimed by the province of Canada. Mr. C. FORTESCUE stated in reply that the transactions which bad taken place, by which the stock of the Hudson's Bay Company bad been transferred in a greet measure to new proprietors, had not been such as required any interfer mice on the part of her Majesty's government. With re gard to the latter part of the quertion, they had received no memorandum from Canada with regard to the proceedings of the H udoon's Bay Company. He would take that oppor tunity of stating that in consequence of a doubt suggested in another place as to the legality of the transaction re tarred to, the Secretary of State, although entertaining no such doubt himself, consulted the law officers of the crown, end they were of opinion that beyond question the trans actions were legal. BREECH LOADING ORDNA/CCE. Mr. CONINGHAX asked the Feder Secretary of Sta!e. for War whether say mamas had been taken by the Government to investigate the merits of Captain Forbes' breech-loading principle, na compared with Armstrong's ; whether this principle bad not been already adopted by Russia, in the flotilla on the Caspian Sea ; and whether the Messrs. Borden have manufactured any of these, so called, " Clay's" gum for the British government. The Marquis of HARTIINGTON said he bad inquired at the War-othce with referents to Captain Forbes' breech. loading principle, but he could not find that any communica tion had been received from Captain Forbes himself on the subject. He was unable to inform the bon. member whether the principle had been adopted by Russia. As to Messrs. Horsfall, he believed that the only guns manufac tured by them for the British government were mortars. if the hon. member would privately put him in possession of the information which he had received on the subject, he would be happy to institute proper inquiries with respect to it. THE MALTA AND ALEXANDRIA TELEGRAPH GABLE. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he could state the nature end extent of the injury ini tialled by the Malta and Alexandria telegraph cable ; and whether it was true that some months would probably elspiie before the line would be repaired so as to admit of the trasismission of messages as heretofore. Mr. F. PEEL replied that, according to the accounts which had been received by the Treasury the injury to the telegraph wire occurred about 70 miles from Al exandria, In comparatively shallow water. The line was at present under lease, and the responsibility of repairing the injury rested with the lessees. Being unable to procure a suitable vessel in the Mediterranean, the parties had come to this country and hired a vessel, which was now being fitted up. She would leave Ragland on Monday next, and should the weather be favourable they expected that the line would be in working older in about a month front the present time. BRITISH RESIDENTS IN JAPAN. Mr. & COCHRANE asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it was true that while her Majesty's charge d'affaires in Spais has sent an ultima tum to the Japanese government, declaring war if the reparation demanded for certain grievances is not granted, he bad at the same time announced to the British resident. at Yokohama that there was not a sufficient force at present is Japan to guarantee perfect safety to the foreign commit. oily in the event of an attack in force by the Japanese ; sod that Bridal% residents at Yokohama were therefore individually advised to adopt such measures for their es city as might be in their power, so as to be prepared for the contingency of hostilities being decided 00. Mr. LAYARD replied that every possible miens would be adopted to afford protection to all British subjects in Japan in the event, which be trusted might be avoided, of war occurring. At the same time, in a scattered populates Mrs that of the British in Japan, it bad been thought ad visable that her Majesty's subjects there should be ac• quaioted with the state of things, and oommonicstions had accordingly been made to them, warning them that war might arise, and advises them to take every means in their power for the safety of themselves and their property. He believed the this was a common precaution. Mr. R. COCHRANE—That la not an auswer to my goa tee. Was it sot Meted to the inhabitants that there was Dot a sufficient force to protect them in the event of hos tilities LAYARD-Of course it would be very difficult to protect individuals so much mattered about ; and it was precautionary measure to put them on their guard. Colonel SYKES rose amid cries of " Onler," and was understood to address a question on the same subject to the hon. geolleman, the Cada-Secretary for Foreign I t ßaira Mr. WHlTE—Before the hoe. gentleman replies, I wish to ask the hoe. gentleman a question. (Cries of " Order.") It is in reference to Japan. ("Order.") M. DISRAELI said he considered it very important that a miaister should be allowed to answer questions separately. (Hear, hear.) Xt. WRITE—My question has reference to Japan, and to the question put by the hon. gen armee. It was this. Whether, as we have had letters from Japan to the 30th of May, the government ham been informed that a further time CIVIL SERVICE IN INDIA. Mr. ADAM sated the Secretaryof State for India whether his attention and that of the supreme government and other authorities in India had been directed to the present mode of selecting and training young men for the Indian civil ser vice. and whether he would lay upon the table any corre spondence or other papers relating to this subject? Sir C. WOOD was understood to say that he was not at that moment prepared to give the information required by the hon. member. THE PACKET SERVICE. In reply to Sir S. NORTHOOTE, Mr. F. PEEL said the vote for the parted marries would not be taken until one day next week. THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CHASING_ CROSS AND ST. JAMES'S-PAM Sir H. VERNEY asked the First Commissioner of Works whether it was the opinion of the government that a carriage road ought to he opened from Charing-cross to the Mall in St. Junee'rpark ; and whether, if it was thought desirable, he would take an ear opportunity to carry it into effect. Idr. COWPER sa id he was not able to give a full and complete answer to his bon. friend's question. The opening of the North East Corner of St. James's-park bad not assumed that practical shape which would enable it to be decided upon at present. The preliminary step would be to widen the northern portion of Spring Gardens, and to provide for that entranoe he was not aware that the paro chial authorities, or any other authorities, had taken any steps. (Hear, hear.) THE AMERICAN DEBATE. Sir J. FERGUS-SON gave notice that tomorrow (this day) be would make an appeal to the bon, and learned member for Sheffield relative to the resumption of the de bate on Monday evening on the question of recognition of the Southern States of America. - - Lord PALMERSTON said the government proposed to take the Supply at a morning sitting on Friday (this day), and that the government would feel much obliged to boo. gentlemen who had notices on the paper if they would king them on at the evening sitting. THE FORTIFICATIONS (PROVISION FOR EXPENSES) BILL. Lord PALMERSTON, in moving the second reading of this bill, rid the house would be sprite aware of the con dition of the matter. For the preparation of various forti fications, and for the purchase of land, the expenditure of about seven millions had been sanctioned by the house, but the forte of Spithead were last year reserved for further consideration. The house would see by the schedule that all the works already sanctioned had made considerable prognee, and some had been performed under the estimates and some above the estimates, but there had ben a small saving upon the amount. When the house went into committee wound be the proper time for discussing the Spithead forts i and he thought he should be able to show, from the experience of the American was—(bear, hear) — and the great progress made in our guns, that the govern ment were justified io saying that those forte would be a very material and important addition to the defences of Portsmouth. He would say nothing of the va rious iron-clads which had in America been crip pled, and some of them sunk. The government had by experiments in this country ascertained that the had gone which at 800 yards would send shot and shell through a target representing the side of the Warrior ; and there was every mum to believe that the same could be accomplished at 1,000 yards. In committee be should be fully prepared tediums this subject. (Hear, hear.) Sir F. SMITH rose to move the amendment of which be had given notice—viz., "That no farther expenditure be incurred for the present upon that part of the project for fortifications which is based on the assumption that an seamy might land in force and attempt to besiege Portsmouth and Plymouth, except on such works as are in a very advanced state of progress." The hon. baronet said he was as anxious as the noble lord, or any other hon, member in that hove*, that the country should be put in a state of complete security ; but it was to the fleet that this country most mainly look for its defence, sod if that fleet were ewe allowed to fall below the strength of the fleet of France, a great responsibility would net on the government that permitted it. This country never could be invaded if the strength of the navy were maintained. Some of the works to which this bill referred had advanced so far that it would be unwise to arrest their but the other works that were not NO far advanced m r ?gt r r :tither be stopped or reduced to a smaller sale. If all these works were carried out it would require the entire army, militia, volunteers, and all, to garrison them, and there would be no army left for the field. Sir DE LACY EVANS concurred with his bon. and gallant friend in a great many of the details which he bad brought under the notice of the house, and particularly with regard to the Portsdown Hill forts. What was pro posed was, that there should be five forts on the hill, where as, in a discussion which took piece on the subject last session. it was held by the boo. and gallant gentleman and others that two would be ample for the purpose. The Marquis of HARTINCTON mowed the amendment, and observed that the works at Portadownhill, which were generally approved, were in such a Sate of forward -0.111 as not to come within the scope of Sir F. Smith's Prenatal- Mr. COBDEN said that this scheme of fortification was entirely attributable to one person, Lord Palmerston, and if that person were now absent, he believed the project would not be carried further. In fact, as the member for Birmingham bad somewhat bluntly remarked, nothing could be done in this house unless the Prime Minister was present. The whole matter had its origin in the brain of that noble lord, who had been long haunted with the idea that steam had bridged the Channel, and thus diminished our power of resistance to France. But bow could that be unless the French possessed a larger amount of steam than we! And comparing oar steam mer cantile marine with that of the French. we had 20-horse power to one of theirs. Surely, then, a fact lilt.) that could not have rendered this country more vulnerable. With re gard the fortifications on Portsdown-bill, if the house would agree to bold a session there for one day, he undertook to say that they would vote either that the works should be stopped, or that Englishmen must no looser slog " Rule, Britannia," or " Ye mariners of England." For what wee the object of these fortresses, but that English soldiers should take refuge is them from the attack of an enemy's army who bad succeeded in effecting a landing on the oust. His objection to the scheme of the government was that it was a disgrace and dishonour to the age, new to Englishmen. and one that would never have been tolerated in former times. It was also calculated to inflict a more permanent wound upon the reputation and good fame of the sculled liberal party than anything that had yet been done by • parliament that was famous for' gnoble deeds. These inland fortifica tions, moreover, would require an enormous force to render them safe or useful, and protect them from capture by a coup de main. The hon. member concluded by entering his earnest protest against the bill. Sir J. FERGUSSON said that if the policy of the govern ment in promoting this scheme of national defence, which the hon. member for Rochdale contended involved a grea; waste of public money, had not been again and again approved of by the country at large, it never could have ar rived at its present stage ; nor unless the country were persuaded that in the execution of the scheme there was likely to arise a great saving of public money at all times, and particularly in times of great national emergency. Colonel DICKSON said the only power they had to dread was France, but the Emperor of the French had resided in this country amongst military mini, and he was fully aware that it would be highly ridiculous to attempt the invasion of this country. Hon. members should remember that they were the guardians of the public purse, and when he looked at the condition of his own cce. stituency, and the schemes which were suspended on account of the want of a small sum of money, and which, if carried on, might not only save the lives of thousands of people, but increase the wealth and prosperity of the country, be would not only designate this proposition u visionary, but as one also that it would be a downright crime to vote this money for. (Hear, hear.) Mr. C. BERKELEY said there was an increase on all the items in the schedule of 60,0001. He, however, would no:: allude to what took place upon a like discussion in the last session, but ask the noble lord to explain why there should be an increase of the amount be had named. Lord FERMOY said he voted spinet the oriiial propo sition to speed eleven millions of the public money upon fortifications, and he should vote spinet the present mo tion. The hon. and gallant baronet had no authority for saying that the people were in favour of fortificatious ; and he believed that when the people were appealed to wavy bon. gentlemen would find themselves wholly unsupported, and that they bad been reckoning without their host. Mr. NEWDEGATE said it was quite impterible for him to concur in all the observations of the hon. member for Rochdale, at the same time be would enter his decided pro teat against the folly of having a central arsenal in Stafford shire. He should support her Majesty's government on this occasion reserving for the present the question of the Spitltesd fora, merely remarking that until these forts were finished we should be leaving open the gates of a fortress which might be armed against ourselves. Sir E.. COLEBROOKE was not opposed to the fortifica tion of our masts io general, or to the scheme of the go vernment in particular ; but he objected to its being carried out to au extravagant extent in point of cost, and toe degree which would weaken our forme and prevent their being concentrated on a single spot. (Hear, hear.) Lord C. PAGET said he was not surprised that the hon. l i member for Rochdale should take exeeptiou to the scheme for the construction of these forts, remembering the oppo sition which the hon. member had raised to the measures which the government had adopted for putting our navy in a state of defence. (" No, no," from fir. Cobden ' • " only against waste.") Well, he (Lord C. Paget) did not recollect any occasion at which his hon. frisod had not made the observations which he had repeated to the house that evening. Bet what was the best proof that could be afforded that his hoe. friend's views ere, sod were eot at present, in the ascendant in the country ? Why, that they never now beard about an invasion ; there were so panics now ; no lean of a dement upon our waste. (Hear, bear.)

There is an adequate supply of wool in the market, and the wants of spinners are well met. There is a considerable coosump• tins of wool, but an entire absence of specrlation. There is little or no change in yarns. Notwithstanding the Liver pool market is quieter than last week, and wool showed signs of giving way, yet the prices of yarns is maintained. Spinners cannot produce for lees money, and merchants, though they say that they cannot give the high prices current, still do a moderate amount of basilicas. There is no change in the piece market. The disinclination for business continues ; neither the home nor the export demand shove improve ment, and the sale of goods suitable for the American market has again been on the most limited sale. There is still a fair business in Coburg., Verona., and China figures, but seen in these the new orders are only email. As regsrds prima, they must be quoted fully as high as last week. Six-quarter merles Orleans are accumulating in the manufacturers' hands, but with the exception of than storks are generally reprenated ea low. LACE AND HOSIERY. - NOTTIKOHAY, JOLT 9.

We cannot, however, quote any alteration in price from last week, although nearly everything was cleared off. Report. from all parte of the country concur in repre senting the appearance of the crops as most encouraging.

Drxr OR MEDICINE?—The action of Cod Liver Oil upon the human economy led to a curious question being submitted some time since to the Poor-4w Commissioners—viz., whether the medical °Ricers of pauper unions were bound to supply this substance according to their contracts to furnish drugs and physic.
