The advicee from America, via Havre, which we yesterdaylpublished, bring no quotations of the rate of exchange, as the market for paper would not com mence except for the Boston steamer of the Ist of December. The letters are said, however, to indicate a prevalent impression that very little more gold would be dispatched, and that as bills sent over for collection gradually fall due in England, the tide will once more turn in favour of the United States. The latest mercantile accounts from the Havannah allude to greater activity in the sugar-market, the stock having recently decreased, and prices had ad vanced, quotations ranging between 51 dole. and 101 dole., according to quality. The exports for the year from the Havannah and Matanzas amounted to 65,000 cam. The adviees respecting the crops were satisfactory, bat it was not expected that the prodace would arrive before the month of February, in consequence of the heavy rains, Coffee was quoted 5 dole. to 61 dole. Freights for Cowes, 21. 15s. to 31. From Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the 28th ultimo, it is stated that a postal convention had just been con cluded by the grand duchy with England, in virtue of which, commencing with the let of this present December, a simple letter is to be charged 6d. for internal carriage in England ; for transit carriage in Hamburg, 2 sch.; and for the Mecklenburg postage to Hamburg, 2 sch. The Gazette of last evening contains the royal commands for the issuing of a congt cretire empower bag the dean and chapter of Hereford to elect a bishop, as well as her Majesty's recommendation of Dr. Hampden for the vacant see. Upon the subject of Dr. Hampden's appointment, the Bishop of Exeter has addressed a very lengthy remonstrance to Lord John Russell, in the form of a reply to his lordship's answer to the remonstrant bishops. The following is the manner in which Dr. Phillpotta sums up his cue: Your unwillingness to " sacrifice the reputation of Dr. Hampden" does you honour. Shall Ibe deemed officious if I suggest to you the only expedient by which you can pre /erre it ? For Dr. Hampden's sake—for your own sake— for the sake of his reputation and of your own—let his theo- logical writings be subjected to a fitting and adequate tribu nal. If the result be a sentence of exculpation, then, indeed, Dr. Hampden's reputation will be upheld and vindicated; then, indeed, it will " not be sacrificed," which else it must be if he be forced, or if it be attempted to force him, on the reluctant and reelamant church, by rousing into life and ac tivity the hitherto dormant powers of the most hateful and most tyrannical law which is permitted to pollute our statute bok. But your lordship is further resolved " not to sacrifice " what you call " the rights of the crown," founded upon that statute. My lord, the name of Russell ought to be—ever will be, lam sure, in your reflecting hours—a security to us against the application by you of • phrase so sacred as " the rights of the crown" to a matter so foul as the provision' of the statute of which lam writieg. My lord, the crown has no right, can have no right (I trust, too, that it will be found to have no power), to force a bishop on the church whom the church has just right to reject as • "setter forth of erroneous and strange doctrine, contrary to God's word." True, my lord, the statue 25 Henry VIII., chap. 20 (the Magna Charts of tyranny), does give to the crown a power which your lordship has been pleased to call a " right," to condemn to prison and to penury any' dean or any chapter which may refuse compliance with such a mandate. But no statuts hu the power to effect the execution of the mandate itself; no statute has the power to make an honest and con scientious chapter to elect, or an honest and conscientious prelate to consecrate to the office of bishop, such a person as , I have described above. Forbear, my lord, while you have yet time. Persist not in your rub experiment. The bands of your vaunted statute will snap asunder like withes, if you attempt to bind with them the strongest of ail strong men—the man who is strengthened with inner might against the assailant of his church. My lord, do not imagine that I am one of those who, if it were within their power, would deprive the crown of any portion of its rightful supremacy, especially of its just, legi timate christian influence in the appointment of our bishops —an influence which I firmly believe to be necessary to the peace, and therefore to the efficiency of the church. Let the crown continue to nominate them, but let it exercise this right, which almost all considerate churchmen wish it to retain, with caution, with discretion, with due re gard to the feelings and the conscience of all concerned. Depend upon it, my lord, the remonstrant bishops apake to you a sound and pregnant truth, when they told you that the nomination to vacant bishoprics is a very delicate, as well as a very important particular of the royal supremacy. But I will not enlarge on this matter. Again I implore you to forbear, while you yet have time. Retrace your steps; and be assured every honest and good man, every prudent and sound adviser, above all, your own conscience, though not, it may be, your present transient feeling, will applaud your forbearance.

At this annual show was not only exhibited a larger number of animals than usual, but their quality was nth as to call forth the commendations of all beholders. There were really superb animals in all classes—cattle, sheep, and pigs. We do not here speak of the number of sheep exhibited, but of the quality. And we must especially mention the pen of wethers shown by Mr. Wm. Arkooll, of Langley, admitted on all hands to be animals of first-rate character. In addition to the competition for premiums, there were also some excellent animals shown u extra stock, which rewired high commendation. MELKSHAM AORICUTURAL SOCIETY. The yard was crowded with animals. In every slams of horned cattle there was close competition. Mr. of Shaw Farm, and Mr. Dark, carried of the prizes for the beat and second-best bulls ; there was a young animal, of a very superior character, exhibited by Mr. Long, but it was out of condition. It attracted much attention on account of its flesh and substance, and other qualities. Mr. W. Fowle, of Lavington, obtained the prize for the best bull, cow, and offspring; few persons possessed a better stock than Mr. Fowle, and the beasts he exhibited to day were greatly admired. Mr. Jonathan Grant also ex hibited a number of very fine beasts, and obtained the 2nd prize for bull, cow, and offspring. There was an excellent competition for dairy cows—Mr. Seer% of Shaw, took the first, and Mr. James Taylor, of Uutmarsh, the second prise. Two beautiful in-calf heifers, from the stock of Mr. James Glass, obtained a prize. There were but few competitors for the premiums awarded for sheep ; but the pen exhibited by Mr. Lavington, of Poulahot, defied all competition. SHERBORNE CATTLE SHOW. The annual exhibition of fat and breeding stock was somewhat smaller than on previous occasions, but the quality . was never surpassed. There was a decided improve ment, in the breeding stock especially. Among other things daanmg of spacial notice may be enumerated Mr. Udall 'e fine fat Hereford cow, which carried off the prize both here and at Yeovil; Mr. Miller's Devon cow, a beautiful and most symmetrical creature ; Mr. Pope's South Down stock ewes, and Mr. Harris's horned ewes, excited much admiration. The horned +ethers of Mr. Miller and Mr. Hoddinott were remarkably fine, and so also were their Downs. The pigs, as usual, were rolling in fat, and were very fine specimens of their respective breeds. WAKEFIELD FAT CATTLE SHOW. The annual Christmas show of fat stock took place at Wakefield yesterday, but although there were prizes to the value of more than 160 guineas, there was very little competition is the several elegies. Some very fine animals were shown by Berl Fitzwilliaut, the president of the society, by Mr. F. H. Fawkes, and others. In addition to': the show of stock, some very neat models of agricultural im plements were exhibited by Messrs. Croskill, of Beverley ; and several implements were shown by Messrs. Bradley, of Wakefield. Lord FitzwilUam obtained the prize as feeder of the beet ox. ; F. H. Fawkes, Ext., the prizes as feeder of the best steer and cow ; and Mr. T. C. Johnson, the prize for best pen el croes-bred Cheviot or short-woolled fat sheep of any age. THE EPIZOOTIE.—At the monthly meeting of the Highland Agricultural Society of Sectland, held at Edin burgh, on Wednesday lain, the secretary reed a commu nication from the Board of Trade to the effect that the cpixootie, which was thought to be disappearing, had broken out with greater violence than ever among the horned cattle of Wallachia, and that three-fourths of Mime which had been spared from last year's visitation were fall ing victims to it. The secretary said, that though the communication just read had reference to the state of the epidemic in • distant country, the directors conceived it to be their duty to submit to the public all the information cone ed to them on so tmportant a subject, in regard to which Professor Dick, who was present, bad pro mised to give to the meeting the results of his experience. Professor Dick then rose and made the following statement, which we give as of great interest to the public at large: Mr. Professor Dick statedthatplewn.pneumoniawaastill pre vailing with great violence, and varied with the weather. It existed at present to a great extent in East Lothian, as well as in Aberdeenshire, and throughout tko north. The disease conthsted of active inflammation in the lungs, and in the pleura which covers them and lines the chest. It was attended with great danger particularly when the pleura was principally affected, and such cases generally were fatal, unless the proper remedy:was immediately applied; because; when that membrane is attacked by inflammation, being what is called a serous membrane, it very rapidly proceeds to pour out serum and lymph between the lungs and ribs ; the cheat fills with water, and the animal sinks and diva rapidly. To illus trate the treatment required the professor referred to • case in Lanarkshire, where he had been called on for advice. His in structions to the smith or farrier on the property were, that he should bleed when he observed any cough or alteration on the milk or feeding ; clean out the bowels by laxative medi cine—say lib. of Epsom salts, nitre, tartarate of antimony in large and repeated doses • repetition of the bleeding; blister ing thesides, and even iiring, if necessary. After the in flammatory action has • been subdued, tonics should be ad ministered. Where effusion has taken place, of course, tapping the chest is the most likely remedy, followed by large doses of iodine. In blistering, the skin must generally bs welded, and mustard was the best application. The pro fessor does not consider the disease contagious. DEATH OF MR, CIJRTEIB, M.P. FOR R 4 E.—This gentleman died unexpectedly on Monday morning, at Cox's Hotel, Jermyn-street. Mr. Cartels wee in his 55th year. He was a liberal, and supported the repeal of the corn laws. He represented Sussex from 1830 till 1833. In 1841 he was elected for Rye, for which borough, although twice opposed, he sat till his death. Mr. Curteis was a trustee of the Agricultural Employment In stitution. His father, the late E. J. Curteis, Esq., of Wind mill-hill, Sussex, represented that county for many years. He married in 1821 his cousin, Miss Mundt, since deceased, by whom he obtained considerable property. There being a liberal majority in the borough, it may be anticipated that there will not be any serious opposition to the return of a whig candidate. Mr. Hawes and Major-General Fox have already been mentioned as likely to offer themselves. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT SANDON HALL.— A melancholy accident happened on Sunday evening, at the Earl of Harrowby's seat, in Staffordshire, to one of the noble Earl's grand-daughters, a young lady aged seventeen years, daughter of the Hon. Granville Ryder, and niece to Lord Bandon. She was standing before the fire, warming herself, when her dress, which was composed of light materials, was drawn towards the bars, by the action of the draft, and in an instant she was enveloped in flames. The unfortunate young lady rushed from the room in an agony of terror and pain into the hall, where the flames were extinguished, but not until she had been so dreadfully burnt as to leave no hopes of recovery. - She died after much suffering in the course of Monday night. Lord Sandon received several severe burns in his efforts to extinguish the Names. ALLEGED FORGERY BY A TRADESMAN. —Mr. T. W. Martin, who carried on an extensive tailoring business in Oxford, but who was recently made a bankrupt, was on Monday charged before the Mayor with having forged the name of Thomas Haynes to a bill of exchange for 4601. It appeared in evidence that Haynes and the accused were on very intimate terms, the former having been clerk to the latter some time ago, and that on a previous occasion Haynes had accepted an accommodation bill for the accused for 4751., and that upon this bill coming to maturity Martin presented at the London and County Bank, where it had been discounted, 151. in cash, and another bill for 4601., purporting to be accepted by Haynes n hymn of Martin. Haynes, on the hill being shown to Ttprd; No. 404.] LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC. 15, 18 47. [3d. him, stated that it was not his handwriting, neither had he given permission to Martin to use his name. The alkled forgery took place while Haynes was In Loudon • on his re turn to Oxford Martin told him that he had tikes up his eleteptence of 4751., and that he had again made nee of his name far 4001., to which Haynes replied that it was all right. It also eearod from the statement of Haynes, that Martin bad, on a Atrsar °cession, put Harare's imas I,lt iiikda Hayaaimenstra to - Upon being told by Martin that he had done so. Thus the matter rested until a few days ago, when something transpired relative to Martin's bankruptcy, which ended in his being taken into custody on the charge of forgery. The magistrates decided on seedling the ease to a jury, but admitted Martin to bail, himself in 2001., sad two sureties in 100/. each. _ _ .

Bar ley, ls. to 2a. per quarter dearer, therebeing a Esir demand. Oats on late terms. We cannot quote any alteration in Beans. Wheat, per load, 121. to 141. Barley, per quarter, 30s. to 331. Oats, 225. to 34.. Beans, 48s. to 688. FLRIHAM, Dec. 14.--Wheat in moderate supply; of fine dry samples rather a scarcity. The prices given were from 13i. to 141. per load ; some being offered at 124 Barley was rather short, farmers holding back for better prices; the best malting fetched L. per qr. more money ; inferior samples were also sold more readily . at a trifling advance. The trade in Data was not extensive, but although the quantity offered was but small, it suffi ced for the demand. Divans and Peas were rather lower. Winter and spring Tares from 6s. 6d. to 7s. per bushel. Hum., Dee. 14.-Since lut report the weather bas been very variable and unseasonable, with frequent and heavy rain. The supply of Wheat and other grain by steam and sailing vessels, has been moderate, and prices have been fully supported, and in some instances, where quality and condi tion warranted, higher price' have been paid. Hamburg Wheat sells at 621. to Ms. Barley has somewhat improved, end good Danish 631 b. is held at 30s. per qr. Beans and Per slow sale, and bad to sell at lute prices. Linseed in better 'apply ; a few of the long-detained Baltic ships are dropping in, and one or two arrivals from the Black Sea. Where barium is done late prices are supported. In Rapeseed a limited bassinets pawing, and prices unaltered. Linseed Cakes con tinue in good demand, and full price paid for both English and foreign. Rape Cakes and Bones unaltered. To-day there is a limited attendance of farmers, consequently a short supply of English Wheat; more money was generally de manded, and on the businese dens an advance of le. to 21. per qr. on the best dry samples has been realised; a good deal wants condition, and such is no dearer. All Spring Cern is in limited demand, excepting malting and grinding Barley, the former being held for more money, the latter exceedingly scarce. Not much business doing. Market firm.

Lazne, Dec. 14.—Our arrivals of Wheat are small, but there is a very good show from vessels near at hand ; the males made are at an improvement of ls. per qr, from Fri day's rates, but this advance checks busmen; holders are, however, firm. Barley is rather dearer. Oats, Beans, and Shelling without material alteration in value. Average price of grain : Wheat, 64e. 64. ; Barley, 345. 2d. ; Oats, 2,5 e. 6d. ; Beans, 384. 4d. Arrivals this week: Wheat, 6,659 ; Oats, 925 ; Barley, 873 ; Beans, 144, Linseed, 316. LelouToN BUZZARD, Dec. 14.-Of Wheat there was a good supply offering, and trade tolerably active, at an ad vance of le. per load from last week's rates.

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 14.-Although the violent storm of list week has abated, and the weather is now fine, we have scarcely any grain vessels in since Friday ; collectively, there fore, the arrivals of the week are perfectly insignificant, which is the more extraordinary as we have not a single parcel of Indian Corn or Corn Meal fresh in to report. The 3,500 bags of fereign Flour, noted in our import list be low are from Valparaiso. In accordance with it e upwar d tendency in many of the English markets lest week, con firmed by the rise in London yesterday, the Wheat trade here this morning was firm, and having a toler able number of home and country millers, all good dry Wheat met a fair demand, at an advance upon 'that of Friday, thereby placing our quotations 3d. to 4d. per 701bs. over those of Tuesday lest; end very fine qualities of white foreign, being atilt extremely scarce, would have realised a further improvement. American Flour, continuing in fair request, choice brands were the turn dearer, and mixed parcels in some cases improved 6d. to le. per barrel ; home,made and Irish remain in slow demand on the terms lest noted, Prime English malting Barley, of which there is little or none at hand, would have commanded late prices; whilst in grinding samples no change war appa rent. Malt, upon a limited supply, is quoted Is. per qr. higher. Beans and Peas, attracting lees inquiry, were slightly depressed in value. Oats and Oatmeal, with a no dente sale for each, supported the currency of this day ee'nnight. Indian Cern, although by no means in lively or extensive demand, claimed somewhat more attention, and maintained Tuesday's rates. Corn Meal, at the same time, ' remained unaltered.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.-There is nothing in the situation of the European corn markets to inspire as with the hopes of doing much for some time.

IBRAu., Nov. 20.-We are at a complete stand for want of are& for Europe : this has caused freights to rise : we are now pay- ' lag Of. to Marseilles. A great supply of new wheat has arrived, but the holders ask such high prices that nothing can be done. Earley has fallen for went of funds to make purchases; but is soon as the steamer arrives with a supply of cosh, the Turkish merchants, the sole buyers, will soon cause a rise. Macre, Dec. 5.-But few sales lately except for con sumption.

Prices are very low for all kinds of Woollen goods. WOOL—HUDDERSFIELD, Dec. 14.—There is a better feeling getting abroad respecting the raw material Wool. All maaufacturers feel confident that it cannot be lower, and there is not the least doubt that they would act more freely upon the article were the year aot drawing to a close.

SHREWSIIHRT CHRISTMAS FAIR. —The supply of Cattle and Sheep was limited, and all disposed of at good prices; the chief pert of the cattle were sent from theneighbourhood of Ludlow, the Corre Dale affording better pasture at this time of year than many other pans of this county.

Two o'Clock.—We have a quiet market in the funds this morning, with fluctuations hitherto not ex ceeding k per cent. in Console as the standard of value in public securities. They opened 861 to 4 for ac count, and are now rather lower, at 86; to 1. The transactions have been of the most unimportant elm racter hitherto. We quote Reduced Threes at 84; to 5. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 86; to Bank Stock without alteration, at 1864 to 84. Exchequer Bills, 7a. to 10s. premium. We have not much doing in foreign securities. Dutch, which come better from Amsterdam, are somewhat higher, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being now called 55 to 55k; the Fours, 84 to 5. Belgian Four-and -a-Half per Cents., 88 to 91. Ch Tian, 88 to 92. Danish, 80 to 3. Mexican have advanced to 184 to Spanish Fives, 17 to # ; the Threes, 284 to 9. Portuguese, 22 to 3. We have some speculative dealings in Mexican, but not of any remarkable extent. The stock is thought worth buying at the low prices ruling, on the calcu lation that peace betwixt Mexico and the United States may be nearer than generally supposed. The Brussels papers announce that, in consequence of the extraordinary expenditure of the year, and the financial deficit from that and other causes, the Belgian government have concluded to raise a loan, and that negociations to the end were actually in pro gress with certain bankers and capitalists, which were actually so far advanced that the affair may be regarded as likely soon to come before the public. According to report, the loan would be made in a two-and - - a-half per cent, stock. The amount to be realised is placed at 60 millions of francs, the actual deficit of revenue to be covered being 30 millions. The surplus of the loan is to be expended in public works. ENOLIBII FUNDS.

Lord BROUGHAM, In presenting the petition from Mat ' thew Anderson rola - ing tb H. A. Brown, said that he knew nothing whatever of the parties concerned, nor of the facts, except as stated in the petition, and they were these :—ln November, 1844, Mr. H. A. Brown, then a member of the Irish bar, married t: e daughter of a Mr. Copeland, a gover nor of one of the provincial banks of Ireland, and immedi ately after went abroad. During his absence his father-in law discovered that he had previously, in the year 1842, I,„,:_rvied one Mary Downes, and on his rr:::.^ l caused him to be arrested on aeh age of bly,sltw: for which o2enci wee brought to trial end convicted, his defence being twofold ; first, that he was a minor at the time he married !dery Downes, and secondly, that she had been previoudy married to a men named Fitzgerald, who was then alive. In support of this last defence he produced no evidence ; and to rebut the defence of his having been an infant there was produced against him his own affidavit made at the period of his first marriage, in which he swore he was of full age. When first arrested be was sent to Kilmainlism gaol, and confined in the muter debtors' department thereof, and after his conviction, was continued there until Feb. 8, 1847, and of this the petitioner complained. Previous to his conviction, a suit was com menced to establish the nullity of his marriage with fdianCope land, and a decree to that effect obtained. Against that set. Mace, however, he appealed, and brought the case before the Court of Delegates, who affirmed the nullity of that mar riage on Feb, 5, 1647, and expressed a atrone opinion against the defence of Mr. Brown—namely, th at his first wile had been guilty of bigamy in marrying him, a defence which he endeavoured to establish by • prosecution against her, to which she pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment ; but the Court of Delegates considering that that result was brought about by fraud and perjury, con demned Mr. Bro en in the payment of the entire coats of the suit, amounting to between 2,0001. and 3,0001. For this sum, as well as the sum of 2001., money lent oa his bond, Mr. Anderson, the petitioner, lodged an execution in the hands of the ahmff, w as to pre vent Mr. Brown's escape either by the expiration of his sentestes sof impsiaaament, or by a pardon which was at the time spoken of aod anticipated. Mr. Brown, however, ea the Bth of February, three days after the decision of the Court of Delegates, was transferred from Kdmainham to Smithfield Prison, which was a convict prison, and thereby removed from the jurisdiction of the sheriff. The petitioner, therefore, complained that the entire proceedings adopted by him for his two clients were frustrated by the conduct of the government. He further alleged that it was known that a pardon had been or was about to be granted to Mr. Brown, and having asked the government for • reasonable opportu nity of arresting him, the government replied that they would not interfere, and that the sheriff must act as he might be advised. On a second application, they replied that Mr. Brown had been pardoned on certain conditions only, it having been ascertained,after a careful investigation, that his health being in a precarious state, further confinement lie might endanger his life. The petitioner further ged that the completion of the pardon was first suspended from Thursday, the 16th September, till Satur day, and then that the patent, which, in the ordinary course of business, could not have been enrolled before the follow ing Monday, was by extraordinary exertion enrolled the same day, having been engrossed by anticipation, and deli vered to the governor of the gaol at four o'clock, who, how ever, did not act upon it, but kept Mr. Brown in prison until the next morning, and thus sheltered him from his creditors. Under these circumstance' the petitioner hoped their lordahips would take the ease into their consideration. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE denied that any attempt whatever had been made by any officer of the government to shelter Mr. Brown in any way. The reason why he had been left so long in Kilniainham gaol was, that an eminent member of the bar had given it as his opinion that the conviction of Mr. Brown's find wife amounted to his own acquittal, and that until that conviction was upset Ur. Brown should not be treated as a convict. He was looked upon, therefore, up to that time rather in the light of la criminal before tries than a person convicted ; but the mo ment the decision of the Court of Delegates was given the case assumed a different aspect, and the Lord Lieutenant then decided that the sentence of the law should be fully sad impartially carried out. The prisoner wee immediately con signed to the convict prison at Smithfield, but upon its being reported by the medical officer that his continued confine-. ment there would endanger his health he was transferred back to Kilraainham, and placed under the - superintendence of the government officer es a convict. The change was is effect a mere removal of the prisoner from one convict depat to another. His health, however, continuing bad, another application was made to the Lord Lieutenant, who, knowing that he deserved no favour, and being desirous of treating him as any other convict under similar eircumetanoss. directed an inquiry. Accordingly he was examined three times by the medical officers, who reported that fur ther confinement in gaol would be fatal to him. Upon this report, and after due consideration it was decided that he should be liberated on condition of his absenting himsel from the dominions of her Majesty for seven years, which condition was enforced by a high pecuniary bond, eia. bond of 5,0001. The securities were not completed to ;he satisfaction of the Irish government till the 13th September. On Wednesday, the 15th, the pardon was signed by the Lord Lieutenant; on Thursday it was sent to the crown soli citor; on the Friday it was enrolled, and the necessary forme perfected ; it was returned to the government office on Sa turday, and at the usual hour of transacting business in the afternoon of that day Sir W. Somerville wrote the usual order for the discharge of the prisoner, and forwarded it to the governor of the p rison . So far, therefore, as the govern meet was concerned ' the usual course in every respect had been adopted. The. only question that remained to be con sidered was, whether tome notice should not have been given to Mr. Anderson, so that he might have been in readi ness to west the prisoner on his leaving the gaol; but for that purpose, he believed, the proper proceeding would have been an application to the Court of Queen's Bench. At all eventa, no bleats could attach to his noble friend the Lord-LMwenint, Sir W. Somerville, or any other member of the Irish government, which had acted through. out with the utmost impartiality. After a few worth from Lord Baouonatt the petition was ordered to lie on the table. PENINSULA DECORATIONS. - - The Duke of that ems time since he had asked the noble Earl (Grey), in reference to the medals ordered by her Majesty to be given to these who had served in pa. titular actions in the peninsula, as well as in certain other general actions, both by sea and land, during the late war, whether it would be possible to extend that act of justice to other officers and soldiers who had done their duty in various brilliant affairs during that war, but which did not come within the limit fixed by her Ma jesty's order. Though no pledge had been given on the subject, he hoped that the subject had been since taken into consideration, and that a favourable answer might be amid. pated. He wished now to ask whether the decorations would be so extended—also when it was probable the medals would be distributed—whether they would be given as the claims were decided—w hen a certain number were decided, or not until all the claims were proved ? He wished to re mind the noble earl. that if any considerable delay took place very few of those entitled would be left alive to re mire the honour. Earl GREY, with respect to the army, was not aware of any extension of the grant of medals, beyond that already announced in the order of the 30th of June last ' • and, upon the whole , it was thought that the medals should be limited to those officers and ',Ashen who had served In actions for which at the time medals were given to the general and commanding officers. But with regard to the navy, it was thought that this rule would not apply with the same fairness, inasmuch as medals had not been given in the urns proportion to officers commanding in naval actions. There fore, with regard to the navy same extension was conaidered. necessary. The medals were, however, now in pr wren, and in about three months he heped they would be rudy for dis tribution • when ready, he saw no objection to their being distributea as the . a nd were on t ' 'ded. ....lain AND OUTRAWt (itusbAvD) BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE suggested that this bill dmill be reed a second time to-morrow (this day), and the dia ennioaupou ft take place ou Thursday, when , should the hones agree to that course, he would go into the question, and offer such explanation of the object and the provisions o f th e as, he hoped, would induce the Louse to adopt it. (Hear.) bi Lord STANLEY thought the course suggested would tend to the general convenience. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE ITALIAN STATES. Lord STANLEY rose to call the attention of the house to the continued absence of the Lord Privy Seal. Under any circumstances the absence for several months of a person holding so high a position as that of Lord Privy Seal would be a ground to entitle parliament to ask for some ex planation from the government, He confessed, how ever, he should be lees anxious for any explana tion on the subject, were it merely on account of the absence of the noble earl from England ; but that which ren dered a specific answer from the noble marquis to the ques tions he was about to put to him necessary was, not so much the absence of the noble earl from England as his presence in Italy at this particular moment. (Hear.) There was a general expectation and belief prevailing in this eountry— whether correct or not he was unable to say—that it was the intention of her Majesty's government to endeavour to estab lish diplomatic relations between this country and the court of Rome, and that the mission of Earl Minto was connected with that object. With regard to the expediency or policy of such a change of the law—if change of the law were ne cessary—as should enable the government to establish each relations with the temporal sovereign of the Roman states he expressed no opinion. He said that the noble viscount the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in answer to a Tees bon recently put to him in another place, bad stated that Lord Mint* was entrusted by her Majesty's gore/mimeos with no mission to the see of Rome. (Hear, hear.) He understood that answer to mean that Earl Minto was not, on the part of her Majesty's government, an accredited mi nister entrusted with any diplomatic functions at the court of Rome ; at the same time there undoubtedly was a belief in this country, which belief had been much strengthened by reports, whether true or false he knew not, of an interview of considerable duration with which the noble earl had been honoured by the Sovereign Pontiff, that if not sowed directly to establish diplomatic relations, one portion of his duty had been to ascertain what would be the feeling of the court of Rome with regard to the establishment of such relations. (Hear. But though such was the opinion which prevail::, generally not only in England and in Italy' but ttninghout the eon tinent, he apprehended that a digerent motive might be at- I
