OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. —Taussosl, Fsa. 5. The hones nenneabbld shortly before four o'clock, when the galleries rernenedisg it IMO filled with pendia and other ladies, among whom were the Ducheme of Cambridge and the Princess Mary ; and in the body of the house was • very large number of peers. Prams were read by the Right Ern. Dr. Philpott, Bishop of WOnlinier, and as soon as they were over his Royal Highnese the Primo* of Wales entered the hoed at the Mr from the Princes Chamber. mmeded by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Newcastle, the Duke of Aricrll, Earl Granville, lord Kingdoms, Earl Spencer, Lord Edward Howard (De puty Earl Marshal, representing the infant Duke of Nor folk), the Earl of Derby, Lord Willoughby d'Eneby (the Lord Gnat Chamberlain), Sir Awned' Clifford, sad Sir Chula Young (Garter King at Alma). The peers in the proonsion won their scarlet robes and ermine. The pro cession advanced to the woolsack, where the Prbsoe of Wales presented his patent to the Lord High Chancellor (Lord Westbury), who gave it lo the reading clerk (Mr. moods), who took it to the table and read it ; after which his Royal Highness was swore in and signed the roll of peers. His Royal Higheass repeated the words of the oath after Sir J. G. Shaw Lefevre in a distinct and audible voice. The liore•Si of the Prime was borne by • gentleman the Wisdom uniform on as embroidendcrimson cushion. The procession searched round the haw and up to the chair set suet as the right of the throes for the Prince of Wales ' Beronjaitanees took his lest there a l u rid put on his bat, and y afterwards his Royal en rose from his seat, bowed to the assembled peers, left the house, which was adjourned by the Lord Chancellor during pleasure. His Royal Highness wore the scarlet ad ermine robes of • duke over the uniform of a generaljin the army, end le also wore the Star, George, and ribbon of the Order of the Garter. The Archbishop of Curimustrßy and the Archbishop of TORE also took the oaths and the seats on the front epis copal bench. At five o'clock the LORD CRANCRLLOR again entered the hoses, and took his seat on the woolsack. The Earl of Dudley, in the uniform of colonel of a yeomanry regiment, end the Earl of Granard, the mover and seconder of the address, took their seats behind the front ministerial bench. The Duke of Cambridge and the Prince of Wales re-entered the hones and took their seats on the front cross bench, and were shortly afterwards joined by the Earl Beauchamp. The house was very full, and presented a most animated apposisooß At a quarter part fire o'clock, after the Lad Chaooallor bad 'pia read the royal speech, - - - - Earl DUDLEY, in moving an address in reply to the sprach from the throne, congratulated the house and the eountry epee the approaching marriage of the heir appa rent with a princess of the house of Denmark, and indulged in • highly laudatory strain on the foreign . policy of Mae less, and the principle of non.interventiou in the American quarreL The offer of the crown of Greece to Prince Alfred was a flattering compliment alike to the royal family, to the genius of our institutions, and the character of the coustry ; but the government had done wisely and well is deelioing ita acceptance. The noble earl also spoke sympa thetically with the sufferings of the people in the manufee raring districts, and in terms of just admiration of their conduct in the midst of severe privations, whilst he offered a tribute of prise to the noble exertions made by the public for the alleviation of the wide-spread distress. The address having been seconded by the Earl of Glak. NARA, The Eel of DERBY opened his speech with • feeling allusion to the different circumstances under which pub'. meat had met this year and last. Then, referring to the contemplated marriage of the niece of Wales, the noble earl eulogised the courteous bearing, affable manner, tact, judgment, and discretion of his royal highness, and I observed that he had no better wish for his royal highness than that the princess he had selected to share his exalted position might partake of a hap as unalloyed as that which had been (s -hy his august mother, end God grant that it might mac lasting. Turning to the conflict between the Northern and Southern states of America, the noble earl said —I have no fault to find, I have no objection to the course which her Majesty's government has purred with regard to the war which is now denekeing the United States. I may regret, indeed, that her Majesty's government did not feel themselves justified in join ing in an attempt, however hopeless that attempt might appear, to which they were invited by the sovereign of France, not to put an end to the war, bus to endeavour by good offices to bring about such an mistioe as might lead the two contending parties themselves to reflect on the miseries and hopelessness of the struggle in which they are engaged. I soy it is a matter of regret that her Majesty's government did not think themselves justified in acceding to the wadies of the Emperor of the French and off their good offices. But before I censure the coarse i by her Majesty's government, I think it fair to my they were is • much better position than lam to form a judg meet as to whether there was the possibility of the seem of any interference on their part, or whether rod" an it would merely have added to the bitterer' el de strife. On that subject it was seeeesery that her Magisigfe government should rely upon the Wormhole they nedrai from her Majesty's minister in the United States. Thin fore I make no objection, although I my I regret that ere attempt was made to reconcile the two contending pude". I assume that, previous to an attempt at mediation, the parties who offer mediation should agree upon the terms, or at all ends upon the principles, on which that media tions should be offered. But, if I know anything of the ' Rate of the relative feeling of the North and the South, this question between them is not • question of degree, but it is • question of fundamental prin ciples, between which there can be ao stediatim, because it is • question on the are tide of continuing the union, and a giiestioo on the other side of separation • and if principles be laid down, it is mosseary to establish whether you proceed on the principle of sseeppar ration or of maintenance of the union. This diliculty siesta you in the outset. Much has been mid by many friends of mine, personal friends and politest friends, for whose opinion I entertain the highest respect, that the time has arrived when it is desirable that we should recognise the Southern States. Now on that subject, Tweeds( as I do my di ff erence of opinion with several of . my personal and politied triode, I moue Left say said to the conchae* that the time has breed when it would be wise or peaks to take that step. I know only of two oirosaidences under which recognition can possibly take place by swami (evers ion ts. The first of these circumstances is were, although the state from which • revolt has is plum has not acquimeed in it as • fait acempli, yet, in poist el fact, the war is at an sod, and there is so struggle going on. That was the ass with the states of South America in their revolt from Spain. For a long period before they were recognised Spain had ceased to take any active steps to bring them under her dominion. She did not indeed recognise their indepeedeooe, but their independence wee recognised by us, inasmuch am practically the struggle for sailepeodemis was at an end. There is soother case in which no doubt recog nition may be resorted to, and that is Ms case where, in the interests of humanity, other nations determine that • desolating warfare shall no longer be continued. But in that case recognition is always followed Independence is re c▪ ognised. Such a case occurred with regard to Belgium in its separation from Holland; and in regard to Greece in ita seventies: from Turkey. Where the horrors of war are so great that in the interest of humanity they should be put an end to, other countries may fairly and legitimately interfere, but they must be prepared to go a step further, and maintain the independence of the country in whose behalf they interfere. Now I cannot but think that this consideration has not been sufficiently weighed by those anxious leanr recognition of the South. My conviction is Moog that, come what may the reconstruction of the mica of the United Steles, as it formerly stood, is absolutely impossible. I believe that at first the feeling°, this country was strongly in favour of the North, and rbeimne it was the impression that the North would have no difficulty in overrunning and sulxiiiing the South; but even at that early period, it was clear that if they succeeded in sub duing the South their difficulties would only then commence, because it was impossible, where such foothills had been ex cited and such deep injuries had been indicted on the one side and the other, that any cordial recomilemat or union could ever %aka place between rases. If that were the oar • year ago, how much stronger is the conviction now, when week by week, day by day, sod hoar by hour, the struggle becomes mere desperate, and it becomes more apparent that neither party can obtain • decisive advantage over the other, the one acting on the defensive having practically the best of it, and that the oratineeme of the wee is the oontinu awe of the most dreadful slaughter and the most horrible carnage, accompanied by an increased Whereas of feeling. accompanied on both sides, if we may boilers the South, with aggravated atrocities and additional bermes to them which must always accompany civil war? la this state of things it is my firm conviction that there is ao passibility of re-esteblishiog the uulou be tween the North sad the South. At the same time we must recollect that the struggle is going cc, and that the whole of the elabeard of the South ■ in the poneerke of the North. This being the case, it is impossible to my that the struggle lea ceased so as to admit of one practical recognition, even if we did not mean to go further. And I do not think that those who advocate re cognition are prepared at the mien time to my that we should interfere by force of arms, and to inert on laying down our own teems as the terms on which separation shall take place. Therefore, I approve coo tin whole of the coarse pursued by he Majesty - s govern. meat on this 'abject and of that neutrality which they bare practically carried out to the fullest extent, in accord ance with their own prolamine. There is soothe: point. The Debits earl proceeded to observe that the war in America had • serious bearing upon the industry, happiness, and =city of this country—be meant the cotton famine. the existent.* of the distress in the mirth the libe rality of the oseatry had bees unbounded, but he wee afraid that the further coetineme of that liberality could not be twith. Tres, there wee at ;meet a slight dimi she member of mimes ranking relief, but be hared thee that was only of • temporary . character. The "Mho earl ales 'kneed se the Midge tepee alluded to the Qrage's dee* end. referrieg to the gapers already pro. is dosed on tie Sehleswig-Hobeete goodies, remarked that. se terse they west, they did not amble him to congratulate Nereige geonstery epos susemi of hie diplomacy. The sib a m id my*, ( t coo he lissmsi e LoudAssiy) bed once the happiness to be colleagues of cue of the most able, the moat agreeable, and the shrewdest men I ever had the good fortune to meet with—the late Lord Melbourne. There was one piece of advice which Lord Melbourne was always inculcating upon his colleagues, but by which lam afraid the noble earl has not profited. Whenever any matter arose which involved ansiderable difficulty or embarrassment, Lord blelbouroe's favourite re ceipt used t o be, "Cant you let it aloes r (Loud laughter.) The noble earl must, lam sure, recollect the manner in which Lord Melbourne Peed to my, " Can't you let it alone ; it will do Tay well if you wul cute let it alone." But with all the advantage of Lord Melbourne's precept and example, the noble lord can't let it alone. (Great laughter and cheers.) Whatever it may be, he can't let it altos. The mottle ears readiness to undertake every thing hes been proverbial since the days of Sydney Smith. (Laughter.) If there is say difficulty to be settled—if there es any new eustitation to be reorganised at once- if there is any nabarreasing question which has oecopied the attention of stamina for years, and almoat for centuries, the noble earl is quite reedy at a minute's notice. His language is always, "Come to me, ru settle it for you, I'll tell you what to do ;" and be some. times comes forward to offer his gratuitous advice without eves that apology which used to be made by • very public character, " I hope I don't intrude." (Great laughter.) To 'peak seriously, if the noble lord must needs offer his advice to Denmark could he not have setisfied him self with °Domesticating privately with the Danish minister? If the noble earl had sought for • question that would pro duce the greatest amount of embarrassment and compliat- Ike, he could scarcely have fixed upon • better than that of giving an asylum so the Pope un the protection of • protestant sovereign. As to the crown of Greece, he thought the government has somewhat deceived the Greeks into the belief that if Prinos Alfred were elected be would be allowed to accept the crown. The proposed CllOllOO of the lonian Islands was strongly to be deprecated. It was opposed to the interests alike of England and of Europe, and would be one of the most suicidal and unprecedented measures that the ministers of this country could adopt. The noble earl concluded . : Her Majesty ' s government have not thrown any great tr upon the measures they propose to introduce this and therefore they will sot lay themselves open to any blame for having fallen short of their professiots. I pre• same they will be satisfied with their measures being humble and useful ; that there are to be no very ambitious mea sures, no great and sweeping alterations at the coostitation, no attack upon the church of England mode or aandsoned by the m inistry, but that they will go'quietly along, improv ing the turnpike rods, amending the Ban prey Bill—(a laugh)—which waspassed only two yeas' ago, and in the amendment of which they will find plenty to do, and that we shall have • quiet, amiable, useful, humdrum se ion. (Laughter.) Before I sit down I will say one word upon a topic not mentioned in the speech, bat which has already been touched upon by • noble lord—l mean the public area the personal Ices which we have all snitained by the loss of a noble marquis, of whom the noble earl (Russell) and I have each been • colleague. The noble earl will, I am sure, feel deeply with me the obligations we were noder to the noble marquis for the uniform patience, forbearance, good judgment, and good temper which he manifested on every occasion that came under our consideration. Your lordships have had the opportunity of seeing him for several years leader of her Majesty's government in this house, and some years ego, upon his partial retirement from public life, a most unanimous testimony was afforded of the esteem, respect, love, and affection with which he was regarded both by his own supporters and by this side of the house. (Hear, .) Of late the noble marquis had not taken • very ila part in your lordships' discussions, but in the circle of private life be has shown that he has not lost the esteem and regard of his friends, and he goes from this world honoured and respected, • good old man, without leaving behind him a single enemy. (Cheers.) Earl - RUSSELL vindicated the policy of the government in relation to foreign affairs, and, at the same time, ex. pressed • strong opinion that it would be impossible to re establish the union between the Northern and Southern slates of America. The course which minieten had pur sued with regard to SchkewigHoistein bad been attended with this great advantage—that it had prevented a rupture between Denmark and Germany. It was true that an asylum bad been offered to the Pope in • part of her Majesty's dominions, but the offer was made solely in coosequence of a question put by the Pope himself, whether, in the event of • rebellion in Rome, there was any objection to grans him the hospitality of Great Britain. It was obvious that if the Pope fled to Franca, Austria, Spain, or any other Roman catholic country, great jealousies would arise among the catholic powers, which oak' not be exalted if an asylum were afforded him in the British dominions. He believed, indeed, that the offer had created • favourable impression on the Continent, and that it would be pada live of satisfactory results. As to the kingdom of Greece, her Majesty's ministers were the find to propose • joint declaration that the three protecting powers should be incapable of accepting the throne, sad it was only because Russia declined to sign such • declustios, eo far ee concerned the Dicke de Leuchtenberg. that they did not at once avow that Prinos Alfred would not swept the mown. He cooteoded that the lonian Islands having been constituted • republic, order the protection of Greet Britain, they formed no portion of our dominions. Her Majesty's government were bound to consult the welfare of the people of the islands, sad not to continue the pro ' fedora* against their within fizir the sole purpose of maintaining a fortress in those seam. If the lonians deliberately expressed a wish for union with Greece, they were entitled to obtain it. The Dal of KALILEMBURY regretted that the govern ment had not united with the government of the Emperor of the French in an attempt to mediate between the two contending parties in America, so that that deplorable straggle might have been brought to a satisfactory termi nation. . . Earl GREY thought the government had not been neg. leetfulof their duty in declining to intervene in ecojtmetiosi with Palace in the American dispute. Looking at the state of feeling in America, be thought that such an interference would have produced more harm than good. As to the oft- Moe of the lonian Islands to Greece, the course which the government had rimmed was entitled to the highest praise. The Sul of OARNARVON argued that if this country ' desired to abandon the protectorate of the lonian blends, we ware bound to surrender the trust into the hands from which we had 'weaved it. _ _ _ LottlivoDkeofiE approved of the policy of the go vernment is relation to the lonian 'sheds, but modem/led the mums they had taken in regard to fichlerwig-Holstein, as calculated to increase the difficulties with which that question was already surrounded. The address was thee agreed to. Lord ESURY /aid upon the table a bill to amid the AA of Uniformity. A Committee of Privileges was ordered to be appointed. Their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes to 10. HOUSE OF COMIIONS.—TausaDAy, FEB. 6. Th•Brzmus took tbo affair at • quortor to four. NEW MEMBERS.

Lord PALMERSTON here entered the house, and was received with loud cheers. The noble lord laid upon the table the agreement, dated the 15th of January last, entered into between her Majesty and the King of Denmark for a contract of marriage between his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the Prionses Alexandra, daughter of Prince Christian of Denmark. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. The SPEAKER then read her Majesty's speech from the chair. THE ADDRESS. Mr. CALTHORPE, in moving the address, touched lightly upon the principal topics of the speech, dwelling at peat length upon American affairs, reviewing the conduct of the two parties in the sanguinary conflict which is now demisting the States of North America, and rendering , justice to the dauntless oaurage of the American troops and the *Qua strategy of the Southern generals. The motion was seconded by Mr. BAZLEY, who, after expressing his satisfaction at the general tenour of the speech from the throne, adverted to the distress in the manufacturing district., and gave de. tail of the extent of that distress, not merely among the persons engaged in the cotton trade, but among the small tradesmen in the districts; the amount of the contributions for the relief of the distress, and of the future prospects of the trade. The SPILL= having reed the address. Mr. DLSILAELI roue and said—l am sure that there is no peony in the speech of the Lords Cloasaissioners which will be received with more complete and more cordial sympathy by this house than the persuasion which in that speech Is expressed, by the command of her Majesty, that this house will sympathise with the sentiments whi 7.11 her Majesty feels on so interesting an event as the marriage of the heir apparent of these realms. (Bear, hear.) Sr, there wee • time when royal marriages were the perplexity of poll. ticisne, and it was supposed that by the adroit negotiation of such transactions you might change, and certainly that you might affect in some degree even the balance of power. Those times happily are for ever past, But, sir, it would be, I am sure, • very great error to believe that in a country like Eng land, where, happily, the domestic affections are cherished and venerated, a royal marriage may not (*educe directly to the power and to the influence of a prince. (Hear, hear.) We have seen in our time aid in this country what may be the effect is this respect of a royal marriage. His sovereign parent offers to his royal highness the Prince of Wales an example which if followed will, I am sure, endear him to the hearts of all Englishmen. (Cheers.) And lam equally confidant that at this moment he will not forget that other parent, whose loss a year ago in this house we bad to mourn, who built up • royal house upon the principle of household love, and who yet, by his refined and profound intelligence, elevated it above the ma jesty of thrones. (Hear, hear.) There is alio another top'. in the speech which this house must deeply sympathise with, the communication which has been 0211410 this day by command of her Majesty from the throne, sod that is with regard to the feelings of sympathy which we must all share with that portion of our fellow-countrymen who have been subjected of late to so great a vicissitude in their for tinge. (Hear, hear.) Bat when we remember the forti tude with which they have encountered that peat visita tion, when we remember the spirit with which our suffering fellow-subjects have been sustained, I think there is, if I may so express it, some moral coon notion to the country for these material losses. And if so, it may prove, as I hope and believe it will, that ultimately these trials may conduce to the sounder and more permanent prosper ity of this community. I hope we may be justified in treating this great visitation rather as a misfortune than as • calamity. I will not stop to panegerise the conduct of any particular class. I will not offer now • needless, though perhaps it would be • wholesome tri bute of admiration sod approval to any particular body of her Majesty's subjects ; but in this peri lous trial, that there has been • good cheer for England is in my opinion the most =wincing proof that has been furnished of that mutual trust and that entire affection which subsists among all dames of her Majesty's subjecta—(hear, hear,)—and which indicates, whatever may be the form of our government, the existence of a real commonwealth. (Cheers.) If even that question had not been touched upoo in the speech of the Royal Commission to-day, it would be impoisibie on the re-assemblies of parliament after such wane to avoid the inquiry what prospect there is of the cessation of these great misfortunes. Her Majesty hes not felt herself justified in offering to t an psuapec of any termination of the causes of theca difficulties. I know that there is nothing more difficult than to ascertain the pneise character of con temporary events, though all will admit that there is no knowledge more valuable to statesmen and pollinates_ . For my own part, I am happy to my that from the lest-and all that has subsequently occurred has only coalrand me in the ooaviction—l have always looked apes what is occurring in America in the light of • revolution, and of a great revolution. Great revolutions, whatever may be the cause, are not likely to commence or conclude with taticm. Before this civil war commemeed the United tee of America were colonies, sad we should not forget that such communities do not cease to be colonies because they are independent. They were not only colonies, but they were oolouning, end they existed under all tcmditions of co ' lonial life except that of mere political dependence But for several years I think all animpanimed observers must have been conscious that in that community there were elements which indicated the possibility of a . F..han nw tt u i perhaps of a violent change. The impieties =wean of population ; the still grader increase, perhaps, of wealth • the latreductiou of foreign rams in large numbers as ellipsis, set brought up under the laws and the curtain which were perhaps adapted to • more limited and • per , freely homogeneous race ; the character of that political constitution which in its practice in consequence of this introduction became almost impracticable ; the absence of any theatre of ambition to the refined and educated intel lect at the country, which deteriorated the public spirit and lowered the public morality ; and above all, the increasi ng inflame of the United States in the political fortu nesof Europe—these were all coomoolanoos odd& indica ted the more than possibility that the BIM colonial character of those communities might suddenly and violently be sub verted, and those political characterietionappear which seem to be the destiny of man. (Hear, hear.) I manse mooed from myself the °oinking, that when these who in this home may be young enough live to witnem the ultimate conclusion and consequences of this civil wae—l malice but believe that the America that they will them ' moguls*, when the waters have subsided, will be a different Amines to that which was known to our fathers, or even to this seenatioe, of which we have had so much expo. risme.

Whores.) It was not an accident ; the declaration was formal ; it was made avowedly with the commit sad with the sanetion of the government. (" Oh, oh," and " Hear, hear.") And what did that declaration mean? If it meant anything, it meant that the Southern States ought to be recognised— (bear, hear)—bsoause if it be true that they have created armies and navies and a people, then by every principle of policy and of law we are bound to recognise their political existence. It appeared to me that upon the face of that declaration there was a very great inconustency, and, as I thought., the course of conduct therein:recommended was one which nothing had occurred in the interval to justify. it la most unfortunate that, upon a subject of such import ance, upon which the government appear to have taken at first so covrect and dignified • position, there should have been exhibited by her Ministers sash costredictory conduct and such *potholing opinions, and that in the then state of things they should hare felt it their duty to com municate this vacillation of purpose and this inconsistency of judgment to the whole nation. (Hear, hear.) We were told originally by the minister who ought to be the beat fq""fd MP" then kt", the Minister for Foreign Affairs, what, in the Opinion iit r hir Majesty's government; were the motives of this eiva war; that there was admire on the part of the North to establish dominion, and on the part of the Smith to achieve independence. It have been perhaps indiscreet on the part of her Majesty's may y. ministers to have made that public declaration s&t their opinion, but what are we to may of the subsequent definitions of this contest which have also been supplied! It is only a fortnight ago sines a member of the cabinet said that the whole came of this war was the existence of slavery, which be denounced as a pestilent institution. What agreement is there between the President of the Board of Trade, who spoke a fortnight ago, and that minis ter who upon such subjects is • high authority, when be K o e c t a h; of the cabinst the beginning of the cabinet ca met findsoother emin en t iy we memo.. —ommending as the only specific the recognition of South ern independeoce, and he is immediately followed by • col league who said that 00013 of the conditions on which inde pendence should be recognised as yet existed in the Southern States. (Hear, hear.) But these varieties of opinion ere so prevalent among her Majesty's ministers that I believe ass of them, not yet • member of t he cabinet, but whose lips are steeped in the gravity of the Privy Council, informed us recently that the Lord of Husks wee on the side of the Souther Stake. (Great laughter.) I think it is very much to be regretted that her Majesty's government did not adhere to that reserve which distinguished them last session upon this great question, and it is much to be deprecated that, unless • change took place in their policy, there should not ' have been more eilenCe during the itiossi as regards their individual opinions. But, whatever may be the disinclina tion of her Majesty's government to interfere in the conflict in the American States, there does not appear to be any abstract objection on the part of the government to interference with other states, insomuch as they have in the course of the autumn appeared to interfere in every other part of the world except America. We are promised in the speech of the Royal Commissioners papers with respect to Greece, Italy, and Denmark, and on all those subjects papers are certainly very neeeman. He should like to know, for instance, what was the pre rise nature of our re la tions with China, sod what was cifon there at the present moment. So far as he could there was constant fighting in that country, on ducad in great measure by our fellow-subjects, whilst officers in her Maje.fs service were enlisting our country men to interfere between the Emperor of China and his rebellious people. Oar Chinese policy, begun by the noble lord at the head of the government about twenty-five years ago, at fleet consisted of making war upon the Tartar dynasty ; but now that policy had bees changed, and we made war in favour of the Tartar dynasty against the Taiipingm He contended that we had nothing to do with the Triepinp, and that if we attempted in this roundabout manner to @appal the Tartar dyeesty we should ultimately be again involved in a war with Chins, but on different sides and for different objects. A few months ago they were told that if they ventured to retrench the expenditure the country would be subservient to France. He was happy to find, however, from the speech of her Majesty's commis sioners, that they null not only retrench, but that retrenchment did not mean the humiliation of the country or subserviency to France. But hitherto wars with China had seriously increased the expenditure of the coun. try, and it was the duty of the government to take care that they did not pantie a policy in this instance that would lead to expenditure. If they meant to effect a real rodeo- Soo, then they must change their policy, not only with regard to Chinese but many other questions. The right bon. gentleman alio commented upon the Schleswig- Holstein difficulty—• question which everybody affected to understand but none could explain. Explanations IMO required upon these questions, and also regarding Rene, the incredible conduct of the government in respite to Brazil, their policy upon Turkish affairs, and Greece and the lonian Islands. Why, he asked, had they de layed for four mouths to refuse the acceptance of the crown of Greece by Prince Alfred, if, as the royal speech stated, diplomatic engagements existed to prevent it? And what was the effect of offering the 'onion Islands to the Greeks but favouring the policy which that time last year the government denounced ? He considered these islands as British territory acquired by conquest, and if they were ceded to Greece they would be accepted only as an instal ment of what that country hoped to obtain hereafter frau Turkey. He had no objection to the address passing, but he had felt it his duty to show that the questions at issue were not of the very rimple . character that some persons were apt to suppose, but might lead to dangerous conse quences and involve some of the gravest considerations with which public men had to deal. Colonel SYKES spoke in terms of strong condemnation of the course followed by ministers in espousing the side of the Chinese government against the Taepings. Lord R. MONTAGU, referring to the hope expressed by the mover of the address that there would be a surplus re venue, said that instead of a surplus be rather anticipated • deficit. The public expenditure was enormous, and bad reached a point it had never before attained except in a time of war. He condemned the cession of the lonia* Islands as a violation of public faith and a forfeiture of na tional honour. Jersey might with as much reason be an. sexed to France, Gibraltar to Spain, and Malta to Italy, as the lonian Islands to Greece. Mr. MAGUIRE approved of the cession of the lonian 'elands, and drew attention te the distress existing in Ire land, which he represented as ten times more severe than that which prevailed in Lancashire. Mr. C. FOSTER impressed upon the government the De enmity of making such reforms ID the mode of' the nom* and property tax as would correct the anomalies. Mr. B. COCHRANE considered our policy in Greece to be fair and conservative, and invited the government to afford the house some information with reference to the candidateship for the throne of that country. The debate was continued by Sir J. Harmer, Sir P. O'Brien, and Mr. Hennessy. Mr. SMOLLETT expressed a hope that at an early period of the session the topics which had for some months part occupied the attention of the country with reference to India would be brought before the house for discussion. He regretted that so few gentlemen who had practical expe rience of Indian questions, arising from residence in that country, were members of the house, and the exclusion at the members of the Indian Council he regarded as an During the noes various meetings had been held, at ooe of which- particularly, held at Manchester, the oonduct of the light hon. baronet the Secretary of State for India was im pugned in unmeasured terms. A deputation appoieted by that meeting had an interview with the noble lord at the bead ot,the government on the subject. He (Mr. Simmelleit)re gretted that the charges made against the right ben. betems were not made where there would be an opponamlty of answering them—(hear, bear)—and he hoped that in order that they might be replied to they would be repeated in that house. For his own part he was reedy to deiced the right hon. baronet upon all the points with reference t o which he had in his absence been attacked. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALILERSTON referred to Mr. Disraeli'm speech, characterising it as e broad attack on the policy of the government, designating it as an intriguing policy, and he repudiated such au acclimation. A proof of the influence this nation possessed in foreign countries was to be found in what had occurred in Greece, and the anenimity of its choice of a member of the royal family of England as its sovereign. He contended that the policy of the government in China was now the same as ever, its prin ciple being to protect our trade with that country, by whichever party it was threatened with interruption. He pointed out that Lord Rummell's despatch on the sub ject of Schleswig-Holstein was only a continuation of previous diplomatic prooesding", and not a and den act of the moment. With regard to Greece, the earliest opportunity wee take. 40 AIM that Prince Alfred could not accept the throne.

Ths course of the transaction was exactly the reverie of this. It was the Pop, wbo sent for Mr. Rummell, and the latter went, not knowing what he was sent for. It was the Pop who, in the conies of conversation, exprused a wish to know whether, in the event of his being compeUed by circum stances to leave Rome, be would be received end protected in England! (In England!) Yes, in England. Mr. Russell, of course, could give no answer beyond dating that it was the custom of England to give shelter to all who came to her shores. Subsequently he came to Ragland, and when be returned in Nov. to Rome he carried a despatch to Cardinal in which Lord Rana said that if circumstances . . should occur inducing the Pope to leave RPM, and that he should not wish to take refuge in France or Spain, the British um ir n overnment would provide l for him in Malta an Mar, hear.) was way a very proper pet prop his r ersal, and i sad position. re oeivedloy the Pope as a proof of our goodwill towards him self. The boo. member for the King's County went into • long discussion respecting the transactions of 1848, but he should remember that its circumstances were very different from those of the present time. The hon. gentleman says the Pope had no army in 1848, bat if I recollect right, the Pope then declared war maim* Austria, and seat his army to moist the King of Piedmont. No doubt it was then degrade thathevolutiomarygovernment should mass in Rome, and that the Pope should return to has dominions. It is very different now, wham • Frenh army occupies the city, to leave it Heaves knows when, in order to retain • government which, in oar opinion, is distasteful to the people of Rome. Our wish now is, that no foreign inter ferers should maintain a government in Rome of which the people do not approve. With respect to Brazil, we de. mended compensation for losses sustained by British sub jects, and that compensation being refused, reprisals became neemeay. I believe, however, that the two governments will come to an amicable arrangement of the matter in dis pute. The member for Honiton paid • compliment to the Greek people for their moderation, in which I fully emeenr. I think they showed as much moderation se the Italians — and I could not pay them a higher compliment. I trent they will obtain a keg fit to rule them, and that under his rule they may become • prosperous and sueseenfal country. Therein no department in which the sexier Greeks did not excel, and Ido not see why the Greeks of the present day should not follow in the footings of their enmesh,. Ido not ass any reason why the Greeks, under good government, should not exact. We are told that by giving the lonian Island. to Greece we are changing our policy towards the Turks and encouraging the Greeks to be the Turks, and that we ought to have 7z:tr. a = Islands to the Turks. That would be a strange way of settling this question.. We have not changed our policy at all, and we hope that the present Sultan, when he has established his finances and established his government, and provided equal laws for the whole of his people who inhabit his vast empire, will become wrong within and able to defend himself without, and if be do that our giving the Septinsular republic to Greece will not dis turb the tranquillity of the Turkish empire. My right hon. friend reminds me that I have not adverted to the prevail ing distrese in Ireland. There is no doubt that Ireland has bad three bad years, and no country can have three bad years without suffering severely, but my information does not go the extent of the hon. member's. I have been in formed that the potatoes were not bad in Ireland last year, that the turnips were saved, and that the Gate were not bad everywhere. The crops were shorter than usual and no doubt there wee • great deal of pressure in some parts of the °pantry ; but I hope the statement' of the hon. gentleman must be deemed to be exaggerated. At all events, the house will require • mush straw appeal before they will see the expediency of granting mosey far public works. I mn only add that it is impossible for any English members not to feel for any part of the United Kingdom in distress, whether it be in Ireland or in Lancouthirs. But the distress in Ireland is the result of an act of Providence in the order , mg of the seasons, whereas the distress in the manufacturing parts of England is the melte' bromic-don over which we have no control. lam glad that the adder is likely to be voted without anything more than • discussion upon it, and I will not longer interpose between the house and the hon. member for Horsham (Mr. S. Fitzgerald), who I see is anxious to address the house. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. BOWYER, whose sudden rising from his seat created much laughter, said it was his duty to address the house upon one portion of the speech of the noble lord, who had praised the government of 'the Sultan end con demned that of the Pope. Now, he never thout ak t o th . :La i Christian country would show • preference for • government, and it certainly was a most unjust partiality. The noble lord had told the house that the Pope sent for Mr. Odo Russell and asked him whether England would give him an whim if he were obliged to leave Rome. That was an incorrect statement of the facts. The statement of the French minister was of a very different description. If the French were withdrawn from Rome tomorrow, and the rert:ntese were not allowed to march in and tithe pos session by military force, be believed that the Papal govern ment would be as safe at Rome as the government of Queen Victoria was in Loudon. And before he eat down be most once for all againet the doctrine that the so-called protestbe liberal party in Italy were entitled to ROM. as their capitaL When was Horns ever the capital of Italy? Never. In the time of the ancient Romans it was not the capital of Italy in the sense in which it was now sought to be made the capital, it was thee the omiqueror of w as the y belonged to Rams, and not Rome to Italy. Rome was the seat of the most ancient dynasty in the world—the dynasty of the Pope—and it they overturned that dynasty there was no throes anywhere that was safe. Mr. S. FITZGERALD complained that Lord Palmeoston ' bad omitted all allergia to the important subject of the affairs of America, and had also passed over the case of Poland, and thee proceeded to criticise what may be called the vacation foreign policy of Lord Russell in regard to Den. meet and the lonian Islands, to the cession of which he was Mr. thought that it the lonian Islands wee to be ceded, they ought only to be coded after further deli beration with the great powers interested. Their orlon, however, certainly had nothing to do with the candidature of any member of the royal family. (Hear, hear.) His prinajol object, however, in rising was to express hie sorrow that certain boa members should have made that house • theatre for the exposition of the policy of the Pope. The address was then agreed to, and the house adjourned at 10 minutes to 12 o'clock. ROYAL PARR HOSPITAL. The annual court of the governors of this charity took plan yesterday afternoon, at the Hospital, Gray's-inn read ; General WATKINS in 1.1;* chair. The Rev. J. B. Owe., the chaplain to the institution, read the report of the committee, which stated that they had beat enabled to pay off all the old debts of the hospital, bat some bills for expenses incurred during the lest half year, amounting to nearly 1,000/., were still unliciai dated. The petue. part of the receipt in 1862 had been from legacies, there being a considerable falling off in the amount of the usual subscriptions, no doubt owing to the distress is Lancashire ; and the committee sow appealed to their friends to insist them in increasing this Inures of income. The committee had during the year received • donation of 2104, the eighth donation, from the oorporation of the City of London, of which they took the opportunity to express their grateful remembrance, and also of the munificent donation of 1571. 10a, together with three valuable pictures, from Mr. Joseph Bond. The finan cial statement showed that the receipts amounted to 8,5241. lls. 9d., and the expenditure to 8,138/. lie. 4d., leaving • balance of 3854 15a sd. The report of the medical officers slated that during the J ear, 1,254 in-patients and 58,314 out-patent bad been rsltved. The came of severe accident admitted numbered 324 ; of these 23 patients died, and 301 were cured or relieved. The report inn adopted, and the general committee for the current year was nominated and elected. reference to the motion for this proceeding, Mr. Gnomon Moons, s member of the weekly board, took co. moon to observe that he thought some satisfactory changes might be effected in the list of the general committee, as many gentlemen were amongst them who did not give that attention to their duties which was naturally expected from them. There were upwards of 130 beds in the hospital, hut there were generally 3.3 or 40 standing unoccupied, and, therefore, he could not lose this opportunity of saying that the time had now come when those who were really in terested in the charity should put their shoulders to the wheel, with a view to improve the prospects of an institu tion which he honestly believed was one of the most meri torious in this country. The thanks of the meeting were given to the medical officers, Dr. Haman, Dr. O'Connor, Dr.Coeide, Dr. William Mantles, Mr. 'Thomas H. Wakley, Mr. Weldon Cooke, Mr. V. de Marie, Dr. A. Marsden, and Mr. Frederick J. Gant, and to the dentist Mr. Hasler Harris ; aka to the chaplain, the resident medical officers, and treasurer. The services of the founder Dr. Menden, were also tefully acknowledged, and auks were voted to the weekly gra board and to she preen, and the be/linear terminated. TER MIIIMUIL or • POLICEMAN AT ACTON. Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. Bird, coroner for Western Middling:, resumed the inquiry, at the Osarge and Dragon Tavern, Actin, into the circumstances of the murder of William D•vey, a constable of the T divisiou, who was shot a short time ones at Acton, as &heady fully detailed. A host of witnesses were examined with a view to the identifi cation of the parties implicated, but without eliciting any thing material in addition to what had reeently been dis closed at the patios court. It wee understood, however, that the police bed got a elm to evidence of as important nature, which they were not in • position to produce yes terday, and the court was adjourned until Timeday seat, whoa the additional testimony in question will be forth coming.
