IMPLRIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE CF LonDs.--F.ADAy, Fut. 27. The LORD CILINCILLOII took bia seat on the wools& at 5 o'clock. THE AFFAIRS OF POLAND. The Earl of ELLEMBOROUGH—I have observed that the ;moister of the King of Prussia has stated in the Pm- Win parliament that the government of the King had not concluded nub a convention with the Emperor of Russia to ',Feb the expressions of Earl Rurie iu the Howie of Lords, could be applicable. Ido not think it necessary to put any question to the noble earl upon this subject. I romsin in the continued belief that the table earl had full authority to make the statement which be made in this Image, and that it is cor rect ; nor do I think it necessary to take this opportunity to say anything farther upon the Polish question. The speech of the noble sal the other evening satiated me that the question rosy be safely left in the hands of her Majesty's mini a teri, I believe that they will in their communications with foreign powers use language in conformity with the general feeling of this country ; and 1 trustif these deplor able events should result in any more serious complications, the government will net hesitate to come at once to parlia ment for its support. (Hear. hear.) Earl RUSSELL—With respect to the telegram to which my noble friend has alluded, I can only say that it dose not appear very clear what it was that Count Barnark meant to convey. The statement which I made in this house was, that I had spoken to the Russian and Prussian ambassadors with respect to the rumour of the terms of the convention, end that they said—both of them—certainly the Russian ambassador—that they were not in possession of the text of the convention ; but I gathered from them that the sub stance of the convention is, that in certain oases if the Russian troops should pursue the Polish in surgents through the Prussian territory, the Russian troops should be allowed, with arms in their hands, to follow them into the Prussian territory. I believe that that was a correct statement, and I may add that the Rua sian ambassador told me that he had no objection to give me the nature of the terms of the convention. All that I have since learnt goes to show that there is an article, of which I was not aware, which requires that in some way or other Instructions shall be given to the troops before they are allowed to enter the Prussian territory ; but it does not appear clear whether these instructions to them are to issue from the central government at Berlin, or whether they are kbe given by the local authorities. (Hear, hear.) (The noble earl spoke in a very low tone.) The Earl of SHAFTESBURY—I wish to ask the noble earl whether he hes rewired any information that certain Polish students were arrested by the Prussian authorities and handed over to the Russian government. (Hear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL—I can only speak upon the authority of local newspapers. I cannot say more than this, that oar. tido rosoos--Poliolt stodente—were arrested in the Prus sian territory, and sent across the frontier into Rasoisa Poked : but wharf they were handed over to the Russian authorities. er warily put moms the frontier, I cannot state.

Earl STANHOPE, in moving that an humble address be presented so her Majesty for • copy of a memorial pre panted on the 12th February, 1963, by a denotation of cola nista from Western Australia to the Duke of Newcastle, and praying for • more exteodsd system of transportation to that colony, and also for &copy of any answer to the same, wok* on the subject of transportation generally. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he was sure his noble friend would not expert him outhat occasion to enter into the general questioo as to the best system for the punishment of offenders, or into the respective merits of the systems of prison discipline at bone. These two questions were now under consideration—tile one by • committee of that house, and the other by • royal commission. It would, therefore, be unbecoming in say member of the government to pre judge questions of such importance, which • body of gentle men of station. ability, sad knowledge had undertaken to investigate with • view to affording their lordships and the other house of parliament the benefit of their advice.

Viscount ENFIELD gave notice that ma Tuesday seat be would oak the ?maiden% of the Board of Trade whether, wandering the number of schema, now proposed for in tersecting the metropolis sad its suburbs with vazioas lines el railway, he would take into ooneideration the recom mendation that a special ememinion or committee should be appointed to investigate the matter. THE RECEPTION OF THE PRINCEB3 ALEXANDRA. Paz R. CLIFTON used the Secrete/7 of State for the Homo Deputmo t whether duos wsa any truth in tie state meet in t6iii Platy of yesterday, that he had written to tho authorities of tbe Cite as to changing the oereinonial upon the reception of the Prisms Alexandra. Wu G. GREY—No, sir, I have not given say instenoticas for analog the order of ceremonial which, as I am in. formed, has been adopted before for the reception of her Royal Highness the Pliocene Ale:mans in this sountry. I may now state what has taken place. My en deems has beim, meting in obedience to her Majesty's commands, and I. osawirt with those whose duty it is to make the arrannemesis fey the reception of her royal high ness, that those annamencinta shall be such as best to ratify the very mama" sad laudable desire to do lionsur to her royal highness on hie arrival. Some time ego I in formed the Lord Mayor that the Pliocene Alemadra, meow ponied Le the Prince of Wales and her royal Forma. the Prince and Primers of Doemark, would drive through rive city and the metropolis gmeerally en her routs from Graves end to Windsor Gestic. I may Mate that this ie sot intended to be what is Inimically called a sate peoeiaooo. Her royal highness and suite will drive th agh the metropolis in six open royal carriages, if the should fortu nately permit, attended by en escort of Life Guards, When this became known a very general desire was evinced, not easy by the authorities of the City of Leedom, who are always prominent in every lo ya l demomehation, but also by the civic authorities of other of- of the metropolis through which the route of her royal highness will lie, to be able to take a part in the dereoustration which would be sufficiently expressive of their loyalty and attachment to the throne, and their desire to do hoooor to the princess on the measles. With this view it was proposed that the civic and municipal authorities within whom respective jurisdictions her royal highness would pass should each within the limits of their jurisdic tions be allowed the fullest opportunity of akin part in the proceedings of the day. In 0011r)(01311Ce of a request which wee urged upon me by a deputation from the borough of Southwark, it has been that the High Bailiff of Southwark, attendedai no doubt by the two representatives of the horoogh, and by the municipal authorities, should be present at the ar rival of the Princess Alexandra at the Bricklayers' Arms station of the South Eastem Railway, the station being within the precincts of the borough of Southwark. The Lord Mayor having expressed a wish that he and the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex should also be present at the station, that wish was at race seceded to, subject only to the condition that the long line of carriages which would convey the other representatives of the City of London should not joiu at the station. which is beyond the jurisdiction of the City, but should meet the royal orris es at the limits of their jurisdicitioo at Loodon.bridge, cad that they should acconipsey her royal highness through the whole fine of the City op to its western extremity at Temple-her. It was proposed, in oesseqmince of another request which dammed remoneble to pant, that at Temple-bar the Court of Burgesses of the city of Wed master, headed, es I am informed, by the Duke of Bueolenieh, as High Steven', aeoempa- Died by the Men sod other dignitaries, should take the place of the City authorities sod attend her royal highness in that porticos of her route which is within their jurisdiction. It was also requested that a limited number of the representatives of the various pandas through which the proesesion would pass should be allowed an oppernmity of {skim their part in this loyal dumasaiw a . tion. A difficulty arose in oonsequeoes at the rusk--rs very natural wish—of the civic authorities net to stop at the western Bent of the City, but to proceed with a bog line of carriages, numbering at least 80, throughout the western part of the route. It was felt that this wish Gould sot he needed to, if they were to precede the royal car riages, without materially interfering with the other autho- rities beyond the limits of the city, who bad an eel de ars aad ea email right to take part is the of the day. It has bine iWamilled to the Lord Mayor friths Chamberlain that if anunipmente can be made—aad I have no doubt they ma be made if all parties ooseur in making them—that, on arrieiag at the western maims of the City, it s ite ro C u ig authorities Mates meeeded the royal proemial' the City , will give way then to the ether authori ties, who will take sp the procession at that point, so that no interference will be made with the war of promida -I-.. -- FIPRESS, SATURDAY FVEISINtt, FEBRUARY 29, 1863. I believe that, under these circumstances, the 'arrangements will be such as not only to secure to the inhabitants of the metropolis generally, the best opportunity of witnessing and welcoming the arrival of the Priam' iu Lendou, but also to give to all parties concerned• without favour or partiality, a full opportunity of taking their park in a de monstratios which I trust will be as gratifying to her royal highness as I am sore it will be to all the loyal subjects of her Majesty in the metropolis. (Loud cheers.) Sir G. BOWYER wished to know whether the City authorities would be allowed to go beyond Temple-bar. Sir G. CREY—Not as preceding the royal carriages. An application was made to me with regard to the sheriffs, who are also sheriffs of Middlemen, sad as they have jurisdiction beyond the City, I am informed that there can be no objection to their being allowed to go beyond the City. - ---- • " • ' . . . . Mr. LO('KE wished eleerly to uodeistanci what would be the position of the borough be bad the honour to repre sent with regard to the authorities of the City of London. He desired to know what the authorities of the City were to do there. Sir G. GREY—I have already expkined that the High Bailiff of Southwark, attended by some of the authorities of that borough, and I believe by my hon. sod learned friend and his collates, will be in atten dance within the station, in order to receive her royal high ness. I wish also to state that a number ofamagea, not to exceed six, will woonipany the royal preemie° through the Borough as far an London-bridge. The Lord Mayor and sheriffs have no jurisdiction beyond the limits of the City ; but as they state that they appoint the Bailiff of Southwark, and as the point has been conceded on other occasions, I thought there could be no objection to their being in attendance on the arrival of the Princess at the railway station. I ought to add, that the same permission has been given to the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey. Mr. LOCKE said the question of precedence did not ap pear to have been .60. W—the question which the City of London had mimed as to who are to go first. Sir G. GREY mid he should be glad if the hon. and learned gentleman would communicate with him on that point out of the house. THE O&$E OF MR. REED. Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether be could inform the house that Mr. Reed, previous to his employment by the present Board of Admiralty, had ever drawn the lines, or prepared the models, or superintended the construction of any man-of war mother ship. Lard C. PAGET said that u Mr. Rerd was just abort to appear at the bar of the house, he hoped it would be oonsidered better that he should defer answering the ques tion of the right hon. baruet. (Hear, hear.) ! house to look to possible consequences, and not to act blindly and one-sidedly in this matter, but to bike a largo and comprehensive view of the question , ; sod if they did their duty is this respect they might feel "Weedy at ease as to the comocrences. He had no hops that Poland had sufficient military power to resist Elia but still the diplomatic interposition of other powers Wild materially modify the situation. Let them expostulate with Prussia . in a friendly manner, and remonstrate with Ruda in terms of manly indignation U the noble lord did this he would certainly not misinterpret the feeling of that house. (Hear.) Mr. WALTER hod listened with great pleasure and atten tion to the able and eloquent speech of the bon, member for King's County, but the enthusiasm which that speech had excited in his (Mr. Walter's) mind very much cooled down when the honourable member said that the interferon*e he contemplated was not of a warlike, bat of a diplomatic character. However strong might be the sym pathy of Eoglaod in favour of Poland, it was all-important that there should be no miamderstending on so irqportent a question as was treated in these resolutions. The reeolu time contained sundry recitals, but the conclusion was so important that he would read it once more. It said : " Them facts demand the interference of England in vindi cation of her national faith and her own solemn engage ment.." Now, if that language meant anything it meant war. (Hear, hear.) Emiand should not counsel her sore reign to express herself thus if she did not moos war. When the parliament of England stated to its sovereign that the latter was bound to vindicate the national faith, it should be prepared to support the sovereign in giving effect to that language. He trusted that the government would sot as the words of the resolution which he had quoted as conveying no meaning beyond a re commendation to send a Queen's messenger to Vienna. It would be degrading` to the sovereign to put such language in her mouth. For all he knew, the time might arrive for England to act up to such language, but until then he trusted that it would not be used. The resolutions of the member for King's County said too much and meant too littleto obtain ha (Mr. Walter's) support. Mr. DENMAN did not approve of diplomatic negotia tions commenced with the understanding that in no even tuality they were to be followed by war. In his opinion they should support the government in their diplomatic demonstrations, but he would not tie their bands by telling them that however atrocious the conduct of Huai& might be, in no case were they to go to war. With that view be bad prepared an amendment modifying the last resolution, and inserting the words, " That them facts loudly demand the serious and immediate consideration of her Majesty's government." Lord FERMOY thought the leas nervous and 'cautious we were in expreuing our opinions the greater would be their moral force and influence on the net of Europe. With France on the one side and Austria on the other, be felt convinced that her Majesty's government might easily settle this matter. If England, France, and Austria offered a re monstrance he felt sure that Russia would at once do justice to Poland, or let her go free ; and by joining in such a course England would earn the lasting gratitude of Poland ; she would pin the praise of the method world, and she would do more to secure the future peace of Europe than if she hesitated for ever ea to the teems of a reeolution. Mr. S. FITZGERALD maid it could never be ex pected that upon • question of this kind Austria should take the initiative. On the one side she had Russia and oa the other France, and her policy had always been how she could act consistent/7 with her own intonate with the more powerful party. Nothing, there fore, could be of greater importance than that England should take the initiative ; and he (Mr. Fitzgerald) was an thinly convinced ache could be of anything that was sot capable of mathematical proof, that if we acted in concert with France we should have not only the willing but the melons co-operation of Austria. (Man.) They were told that the resolution necessarily meant war. Bat why? Surely there were modes by which • solemn inter position might be made without either ' war, or ex preering a determination never to goto wee. ear, beer.) Would it not be a solemn interposition if they called together the states who were parties to the treat/ I:m ar e arraigned the government of Ennis in the face ot for its falsity ? Would not that be an interposition on the part of this country, and would it not be • mode of bringing the public *nice of Europe to bear upon the conduct of Emilia ? Would /not =oh a course, taken in harmony with France and Austria and the other great powers, be likewise • vindication on the part of England of her own public faith in her solemn ants ? (Hear, hear.) "STANSFELD said that be desired to take no mere enthusiast's view of this question. He did not in any degree ignore the difficulty which must be felt by statesmen to surround its solution ; but he would at least venture to say that it was impossible to state too strongly the claims of the Polish people on the ground of right, on the ground of treaties, on the grounds of their heroism and their sufferings. (Cheers.) He would add that it would be impossible for this house too loudly sad too clearly to express its sympathy with the Polish cause ; and however great the difficulties of the solution of this question might be, be would nay this to the noble lord who presided over the councils of this country, that the Follett ynastios had proved itself to be one of those great national questions of which it might be said that until they were solved they could have DO sure and abiding peace. (Cheers.) Now there was another phase of this question upon which he would ask leave to my one or two words. Prussia bag begun to play her part. He would not Mop to apply to the part which Prairie bad begun to play the epithets which would be necessary to define its character. (Hear, hear.) Suffice it to say that it constituted ao flagrant an outrage upon what he would all the very decencies of international ("hear, hear," and cheer)—that no great power venture to overlook those proceedinp without chasing hx the dimes (Hear, hear.) Prussia had been volunteering lie part et spy and gendarmes to Russia. (Cheers.) She Used fee the footfall of those noble Polish youths who, tspd on by an irrepressible instinct, hurried across her son to seek their fathers home ; she waylaid, she entrapped, she mode prisoners of those young men; and, without the mightiest evidence of the crime of • patriotic intent, she beaded them over the frontier to the toad*r mercies of the Cher. (Cheers.) Then there was the convention which had bean recently concluded between Prussia and Banda. Was there ever such • degradation heaped upon an enlightened astion by Mune who should be the guardians and protectors a he honour ? (Load cheers.) Their own soil to be made human Ambles upon which • brutal and foreign soldiery maw to pursue and slaughter defencelem fugitive' ! (Beer, hear.) If England could brook such acts ea thole, then, he nday of shame in England was come bear time was then come when it wield be well that we should at once make confeesica of our impotence of power or of will, and turning our hooky upon Europe, should sit down and count the probe of ho nour abandoned and of the mist sacred duties of • ashes dose iced and set at naught. It seemed to him that some notice on the part of the government of this country, and some action oa the pert of that house, were imperative in that ansepacy. Lord It. CECIL said that when be saw the hon.imeraber foe Halifax (Mr. Stansfeld) rise on this occasion he could not look without • feeling approaching to ooseternatien at the prospect of being compelled to vote with the eloquent and maromplithed pupil of Massizi. (laughter.) He had so doubt be would find himself in the same lobby with several hoe. gentlemen with whom he did not ordinarily ▪ and therefore he would explaia bristle the grenade oe which he should support the motion. He had sever before brad "'debate in which there was so much unanimity, e7s=apparently sympathising with the present suffering olee except the bon. member for North Warwick shire. Mr. NEWDEGATE, in explanation, said he bad =unsaid a hope that the noble lord (Lord Palmerston), who he thought might be trusted on that question, would use r'l his inflames in endeavouring to mitigate the present state of things in Poland. (Hear, hear.) Lord R. CECIL was glad, then, to Sod that not one single voice was raised, so far, to defend the conduct of Russia, or to express anything but the deepest eympathy with regard to the sufferings of Poland. It was hardly possible, indeed, to conceive any as embly of !memo, enjoying peace in their own homes not sympatbia iug with the suffsrinp of that unhappy country. It would seem as if the hordes of Zooms Khan had oome to life again, and poured down on the plains of Poland. (Hear.) If this were a mere ordinary revolution, however brutal might be the mode of suppression, he should still say it was not the duty of this country to interfere. But in this ease England had • direct loons st•odl, inasmuch se she was a party to a treaty by which Alexander solemnly engaged that Poland should have represeetative institutions. Sir H. VERNEY said he coufessed the argument of the noble lord who had just addressed the house was that which principally confirmed him in opinion that it was the duty of England to interfere, and that if we abstained in this in. stance, we should in a certain degree have been parties to the atrocities iufiicted by Russia on the Polish nation. Russia herself was disorganised, principally by her repeated attempts to crush Poland, and the failure of all those attempts. With regard to the attitude of Prussi►, he be lie►ed the people of that country disapproved of the conduct of their government. The debate was continued by Sir H. Verney, Sir M. Far quher, Mr. G. Duff, Mr. D. Griffith, and Mr. Maguire. Mi. H. SEYMOUR, speaking of the conduct of the King of Penni'. said that it ought to raise the blush of shame on his cheek, es it had brought dishonour on the Prussian nation. Mr. WALPOLE said be apprehended that the con currence of three powers in remonstrating with such • power as that remonstrated with would lead to • war which would not end in freeing the Poles, but might end in a war they did not inteod at con template, probably I. the Rhenish provinces. This country would mot pin much in acting, upon such • pinch, with Russia and Prussia. His boo. flood the mem ber for Stamford (Lord R. Cecil) urged an argonaut which would lead to MAJOR it it applied to the promit case. He stated that there having been a vinialka et treaties and en peony* we were bound to tabs up the geodes seri ously. But had not these treaties sad essepoots bean violated for the last 45 years, and wine we sot equally called upon to interfere if the argatost of his noble friend were ma toweled ? rhe hoe. gentleman who last addressed the home caded noon theta to MOW to a outdid coseln dos. H. (Kr. Walpole) thoegbt that the ant Imaelkal conclusion they mold arrive at wag at to destroy tot una nimity of that liciuse—asd which ansalmity would go out to Europe and the world—(oheen)—by anything which seemed oft to approach to • divides el opiake. The goodies resolved itself into this—ereee the pr rament prepared I. oho the sentiments which had bees esereseml ea that moles f (Hear, hoar.) It they were prepared to echo those entiments, was that bonze prepared to leave to them the responsibility of enforcing those sentiments ? le was darigerens for the house to take upon itself a respon sibility which It eould not execute. On the other bland, there was no &auger that be could see in leaving the respooni bility with the government, who bad in point of fact aimed,' exprethed themselves upon the question in terms as strong, as cogent, and asforcible as any that bad been used in the noun of the debate. (Hear, hear.) He fir one was prepared to leave to the government that responsibility. if they would assure the house they would not shrink from it. (Cheers.) When the right hon. gentleman resumed his seat there were cries for Lord PALMERSTON, who on nice was loudly cheered. The noble lord said—lt was natural that, upon a subject which excites so much feeling, not only in this country but upon the Continent, and especially in a neighbouring nation, this house should re-echo the sentiment which pre. vails so strongly out of doors ; and I must do the hon. mem her who moved the resolution the justice to say that in the manner in which he brought the subject forward there was nothing, I thick, that anybody had • right to complain of. (Hear, hear.) With regard to myself, I have been quoted by the hoe. member, both as to what I have mid and what I have written. I have only to say that I do not stand here to unsay anything I have fennerly aaM, ear to retract any thing which I have formerly written. (Cheers.) The govern ment of which I have been • member has always entertained the opinion, which it was my duty to express, that in this matter of Poland the engagements of the treaty of Vienna, especially as regards Russia, have been antematically and long violated. (Cheers.) It is impossib le not to feel the deepest sympathy fee the Polish nation. (Renewed cheers.) The have for a century been most singularly un fortunate. They were unfortunate before the partition in having a constitution, which, whatever some of its merits may have been, was tainted with the greatest possible defects. They were unfortunate in the 80001:41give partitions which deprived them altogether of thsir nationality. They were unfortunate when the first Napoleon entered the Polish territory on his way to Rork, because he did not then think it expedient to take advantage of that *scups tion for the isurpose of restoring to Poland either entire or modified nationality. They were unfortunate at the cat- grow of Vienna, because at that time, however anxious the British plenipotentiary was to restore to Poland a °Duel derabie degree of nationality, the power of Russia pre vented it ; and when Lord Londonderry—Lord Castle reagh as he was then—urged certain conditions, the &newer of the Emperor of Rusk was, "I have 200,000 1 men in Poland , and I =mot agree to the proposal w hich you mats." They were unfortunate afterwards, inar much as those good and liberal intentions which I be- lieve animated the Emperor Alexander at the time when' the treaty of Vienna was soped were not adhered to and carried into execution. It is well known that at that time the late Prince Czartoryski was the confidential ad viser el the Emperor of Rusk, and you see in the provision of the first article of the treaty of Vienna the hand of a friend of Poland, and of • person who looked forward to • better future for his country—for in that article it is said that " the Emperor of Russia reserves to himself to give such internal extension to the kingdom of Poland as he may think fit"—the meaning of which was, I think, that the Emperor contemplated at that time adding to the kingdom of Poland some of the ancient provinces which had been incorporated with the Russian Empire. But, Sir, it is the fate of despotic governments that much necess arily depends upon personal influence; aod when persons ange the policy of the government change. too. So it happened that these good intentions were soon laid aside, sad although a constitution was given to the kingdom of Poland in accordance with the provision of the treaty of Vienna, that constitution soon became • dead letter, and is the administration of the kingdom of Poland under the Orand Duke Constantine there were grievances which were sufficient to justify the insurrection which took place in 183 L (Cheers.) Sir, it is impossible for any body, seeing on the one hand the great and distinguished qualities of the Poles, and on the other hand the calamities which have befallen them, not to take • deep and lively interest in their fete. (Rear, hear.) We have been reproached in some degree by the hon. member for Ring's County for not having in 1831.32 availed ourselves of a communica tion made by Preece for the purpose of inviting some action in favour of the Poles, who were then in arms against Russia. We had at that time to wander a great many cir cumstances, and with every disposition to do that which would be likely to be woeful to Poland we did not think that that particular provost was op. which would have led to any good and useful result. It might have embarrassed us with reference to questions then pending, and, so far as we could see, could Pot have been attended with any good result to the Poles themselves. We therefore declined at that time to inter fere ; but we have always held that the conduct of Russia towards the Poles has been • violation of the treaty of Vienna. (Load cheers.) Preemie and Austria have not been Bahia to the same degree of reproach. Latterly they have carried into effect in their respective portions of Po land the stipulations of the treaty, because in Posen and Gatlin& there have been national Institutions, the language of the Poles is preserved, their religion is respected, and the pre • which the treaty secured to them have been enjoyed. akiog of Pruisia, I must here remark that, however we may condemn the spirit and intention of the convention which we understand was signed la' ely between Prank and Murk, lam inclined to think, from informs/ ties we have received, that the appreheusions we have been led to entertain with respect to that carnation are not kely to be realised in the result. (Cheers.) I believe that that convention has not been ratified—no ratificatioos have been exchanged—and I am inclined to think, not only from what passed in the Prussian Chambers, but also from information which has reached nos, that it is not likely that that convention will, in its objectionable puts, be carried into operation. (Renewed cheer.) lam speak ing, however, not officially, but from information we have received—for we have not yet had • copy of the convention itself. I trust that that may be so, because the winner eery interference of Prussia in that which is now peeing in Poland has already excited great condemnation every where ; and if that convention were followed by acts, it would have oast great discredit op= the government of Prussia. (Cheers.) The present Emperor of Russia has, with regard to Poland, been placed in a very dif ficult position. It is a great calamity to anybody to succeed to an inheritence of triumphant wrong—lloud cheers)—and it is very difficult for • person so circumstanced to disentangle himself from the poisonous folds of so fatal a bequest. There is in the human mind a strong passion, a determination, to maintain and vindicate personal liberty ; and there is a lso there a pardon-1 doubt whether it is not as strong a passim —which makes men oling to the power of exerciser( oppression upon others • and when loin-rooted habits have accustomed subordinate in the admi nistration to • tyrannical system, it requires great perseverance and peat activity on the part of the sovereign to undo the evil and restore the good. (Hear, ti i ii tio l i ti d lielieve that the present Emperor of Rusks, a and benevolent man, does mesn, and has meant for same time past, to improve the coodition of his Polish subjects • iodeed, such would be in perfect consonance with the syste;n by which he is governing hu Russian subjects. A sovereign who has emancipated the serfs—a sovereign who has established a system of codes d jurisdiction founded u wCha t s b rntrotteeri d n i g al hia Russian do:ii rc nros a va —a ":teren O gn in ks of Important improvements—surely such a sovereign never had in his heart the intentional and systematic crush ing of oppressed and unfortunate subjects, whether they be Ruskin or Poles. There is no doubt, however, that the last eat, called &conscription, but which has been more justly described °blowhole as • proscription—(hear, hear)—was as act entirely foreign to that disposition which I suppose ma natee the breast of the Emperor of Russia, and it will en. tirely account for the outbreak whichjlias taken pima (Cheers.) Sir, it was • most barbarous measure —( loud ebeers)—a most crud political p; , ce of tyranny under the semblance merely of military arrangements. No wonder that the Poles should have taken up arms to prevent the further execution of • I measure of that kind. I believe that in some degree that has now been stopped or has ceased. (A laugh.) But, sir, the question mooted by the resolution relates towhatshould be the conduct of her Majesty's government with • view to oommuuintioos which should be made by them to Runk. I cannot conceive that • sovereign gifted with the Trilbies which I believe are possessed by the Emperor of Ras& should not see that in the contest in which be i now unfortunately engaged with the Polish nation, military sue. cam would bee great and signal calamity. (Cheers.) What would be the result if by the overpowering action of 100,000 men in Poland he wee scalded entirely to suppress aad put down this extensive insurrection' Why he would have a country the plains of which would be bathed in blood—a country in which there would be nothing but the smoking ashes of ruined villages and towns. Is that an object which any sovereign could wish to attain?— Could success of that kind be deemed desirable? If the Emperor of Russia sees his own interests— and we gave him credit for being an enlightened man—be would think that the course best suited to his own advantage the pre-emineoce of his authority, and the happiness of he people, would be to put an and to the revolt by an act of generous amnesty, and at the same time to re-establish in Poland those institutions which the Emperor Alexander contemplated at the time of the treaty of Vienna. I believe that such • coons would restore peace in Poland and save Europe from those disturbances which the continued bad government of Poland, and the continued discontent thereby occasioned, cesnot fail to produce from year to year, as has been the case in years bygone. But, sir, with regard to the motion of the hon. member, I should hope that he will be satisfied with the unanimous expression of opinion which has been the result of this discussion, and that he will not press the resolution which be has placed in your hands. (Hear, hear.) The objections to it are really very goat. It proceeds upoo an erroneous foundation. The hon. member assumes that by the treaty of Vienna we are under obligation to interfere in the affairs of Poland. We have the right to interfere, but we are under no obligatioe—(hear, hear)—and though it may anew to those — T/6 Lea M teried *sir iiesitoe to g*owatic dawaissta to be • Wee distimitioe, yet there is a really subideafid sad teed importait distinction between treaties which give the right to interfere, and treaties which impose an oblisahicie to interfere. (Hear, hear.) In the rreaty of Vienna there is oely one obligatioe by which we should be compelled to interfere in a cue which might arise, namely—that article which stipulates that the powers guarantee to Prussia the =Wooed possession of that portion of Seamy allotted to Prussia by that ar magemeet. There is so gemenlee whatever, relating to the kingdom of Poland, or is say other part of the treaty. er ..i_wised, Mel which Make to the integrity and hide. of Settairiesd. The boa. etarber, throughout ig " Zoh7tles, preen& wee the semeglisa that we are wider an obligation to interfere, and oomisteutly with that assumption, in the closing passage, he calls upon the government to interpme and to vindicate the public faith and solemn engegements of the crown. If, in truth, we were wider the obligation to interfere, that resolution would be right and fitting, and it would amount to this—as has been observed by those hon. members who have taken part in the debate—that unless the remon strances which might be made in virtue of that obligation were attended with success, the crown would be compelled to call upon the house to give it the means of enforcing, by arms, those engagements and treaties. (Cheers.) There is therefore that grave objection to the resolution of the hon. member, and if unanimity la desirable, as I think every body must admit it is, we must already see that there having bean two m three amendments proposed to the resolution, it is not likely, if it is premed, that the unanimous consent of the home can be secured. (Hear, hear.) There have been other less material suggestions made. The hon. member proposes that which I believe to be unusual, namely, to re cord, in an address of this house, quotations from Hansard, of that which a member of this house may or may not on some former occasion have spoken. I apprehend he has done me the honour, and I am much obliged to him for it. He proposes to record in a solemn address of the hoarse quo tations from speeches; which I am supposed to have made, but 1 do not think that that is a course consistent with the mega and dignity of this house. Well then, air, I should m y, in the interest of that cause which the ho sourable member has at heart—which the whole house has at heart—(foad cheers)—which I believe the country has at heart—and which lam sure that he, and all who hear me, must wish to be promoted in the best manner possible for the advantage of those whom it concerns—l should say that the course best adapted to accomplish the purpose which he has in view would be to content himself with that unanimous expression of opinion which has been elicited to-night, to let it go forth to the world, as it will to-morrow, that among all the hon. members who have spoken upon this occasion there has not been any difference of opinion with regard to the interest felt in the fate of Poland, sod with respect to a deep sense of the injuries which the Polish nation have sustained. I submit that it would be better, as the right hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Walpole) suggested, to leave it to the responsible government of the conMry to give to the crown upon this matter such advice as they may think best calculated to accomplish the purpose in view, and that the house should not take upon itself the responsibility of details which belong properly to her Majesty's government, but should rest assured that the sentiments ex pressed generally this evening are shared equally by those who have the honour to hold office under the crown. (Cheers.) 1 would therefore suggest to the hon. gentleman that he should allow the house to go into committee of supply, and remain content with a result which is honour able to him, and, I am sure, must be satisfactory to all who take an int erest in the fate of Poland, as to which so many hon. members have expressed such unanimous opinions. (Loud cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI argued that there were moral obliga tions resting upon this country under the Treaty of Vienna, which it was its duty to fulfil whenever the opportunity occurred. He agreed with the noble lord that, under the circumstances, the great object was to elicit an opinion on the part of the house ; but he had not gathered from the noble lord any expression of what might be thought de sirable or practicable, or even the spirit in which her Ma jesty would be advised by Ministers with respect to the present condition of Poland. As he un derstood the motion for an address it was that the government were not to pus over Polish affairs in silence, but assert the right, they possessed under treaty, and th at did not necessarily mean war. In his judgment, however, the proposer most feel that he had attained the main object in originating a discusaion which bad been sus tained with power, had greedy interested the house. aod no doubt had mode her Majesty's minister clearly understand that in the House of Commons there were not two opinions with regard to the conduct of Runge in Poland. In con cluding, the right hon. gentleman, spiraling of the insur rection itself, said that it represented all the elements of a sacred cause—love of country, memory of a glorious past, and he hoped and believed the inspiration of a triump han t future. Sir R. CLIFTON said be trusted the boa. member would pram his motion to a division, nukes some more definite answer was gives by the government. Mr. WYLD said he meld not allow this opportunity to pass without entering his protest, as au individual in a free state, and as a member of this house, against the atrocities that were now being committed in Poland. The policy of Rus sia Once 183 l bad been utterly to ignore thetreetyof Vienna. He wished, on behalf of his constituents, to enter hie pro test against the conduct of the Prussian government in this matter. Mr. HENNESSY said be believed he should be acting only in scoordiume with the general wish of the house if he were to withdraw his motion. (" Hear, hear," and " No.") At the same time it any hon. member desired to divide on the question, he should go with him into the lobby. The motion wu then I;ithdroorn. The house then went into committee pro forma. TOBACCO DUTIES. - - - The house having resumed, tie;cljomusd debate on the second reeding of the Tobacco Duties Bill was continued. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the hoc. member for the Tower Hamlets having stated his views in support of his motion for a select committee, it would be his duty to oppose that motion. A long discussion followed, and ultimately Dr. BRADY moved the adjournment of the debate. Upon a diviaion the motion was negatived by 137 to 71. Sir. H. CAIRNS proposed the adjournment of the debate, and The house again divided, when the motion was new Seed by 194 to 70.

Sir M. FARQUHAR, in the absence and on behalf al Mr. Skirt, repeated a question put the day before by the hon. member foe Doreetahire (Mr. Start) with regard to the inconvenient crowding at the levee on Wednesday last. Sir G. GREY said that in consequence of the question be wrote to the Lord Chamberlain, who replied that the inconvenience arose from the levee having been attended by 3,000 gentlemen, and the accommodation being scarcely more than sufficient for 1,800. Efforts would be made to prevent inconvenience of the same kind in future. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE On the orders of the day being milled, The SPEAKER, addrearim the Sergeant-at-Acme, Lord Charles Rural, enquired ether Mr. Reed was in attar dame. Lord C. Rummell replied that Do wee in attendance. The SPEAK ER 7 lat him be called in. The bar having been placed won the entrance to the home, Mr. Reed woe izantedintely after conducted to it by Lord C. Russell. --- Tioisiiiklift (to Mr. Reed}—Did Too mite a letter to Mir Frederick (3t?ith, a member of this house ? Mr. Reid—l did. The SPEAKER—Ia that the letter? [A letter wee here handed to the witness by the clerk of the bowleg, who stood at the bar.] Mr. Reed—lt is. sir. .—... . . . . The SPEAKER:— I have to accpmisit you that that letter has been adjudged to boa breech of the privilege' of this house. Have you anything to my in respect to that letter Mr. Reed—Sir, I was not aware when I wrote that letter that I was oommilling • breech of the privileges of this house, or I certainly should DRSr have written it. Finding now that I have committed an offence, I beg to tender to the house the treat ample apology that I can offer, and beg the pai.kre of the home for having dreaded spinet its rula. (Cheers.) To the hon. and pliant member for Chatham I beg abets tenders doable apology ; in Mae first place for hay* written any letter at all to him concerning the re marks made by him in this house ; and secondly, for having employed in the letter which I did write phrases, I confers, of great impropriety. (Renewed cheers.) lam quite con , fident DOW that I wrote that letter under irritation, that the boo. and p liant gentleman was entirely misunderstood by me on Monday evening, and that be did not intend to do me any injustice. I hope, sir, that this apology will be deemed satisfactory by the boa. and pliant gentleman—(cheers)---the more so u I have • very deep sense of the estimation in which that hoe. and pliant gentleman is held by the public, by this house, and y his own honourable profession. (Cheers.) The SPEAKER—You may Mr. Reed then withdrew. Sir F. SMITH—Mr. Speaker, it was in the performance of a public duty that I brought this question before the house. I feel gratified that the house showed by its vote that it considered that the course which I had punned was • wine one in all respects. No better proef of that could be given than the satisa apology, to my mind, which Mr. Reed has madef:. i n a d r i hope the apology made by Mr. Reed is as satisfactory to the house as it is to myself. (Cheers.) I think I have vindicated the honour and dignity of the house in the muse I have taken, and humble as I am, and little acquainted with the forms of the home, I trust I have done that which my hoe. friend' here will approve. (Cheers.) And, sir, being so satis fi ed uI am with the apology which Mr. Reed has made, as regards alike the manner, the tone, and the ' expresidons, I think I should ill perform my duty to this home, to my owe feelinp, and to Mr. Reed. if I did not re quest that the house will consent to Mr. Reed's being re , leased from further attendance. I therefore beg to move that Mr. Reed, having duly apologised to the satisfaction of this home, be now aimed from farther attendance here. Mr. A. MILLS emooded the motion, which eau thee pat to the house, sad immedistely spud to. THE EFATE OF POLAND. Mr. HENNESSY mend sa address to the crown, to the effect that certain treaty °tainting had been inured by England and other powers with Runs in respect to Poland, which oblintions had not been fulfilled by Russia, but were broken almost as non as conclud ed. That dune obligations were set forth is the Treaty of 'Fiona, sad that the Emperor of Ramis I. 1816 thus reca pitulated them, "A constitution ; the preeenation in public 'abetment' of the Polish language ; the restriction of public appointments to Poles; freedom of commerce; and a na tional army." That for many years past not one of them mingemente and cooditioas had ben fulfilled. That for year. put the Poles bad borne with exemplary pa tience the deliberate violation of their national rights. That whilst their endurance had attracted the admiratiou of Europe it seemed to have aroused the worst paseioos of the Ruin= authorities. That the patriotic se f 1 reenact of the uaeaimous people of Poland had at length given way under as accumulation of outrages unparalleled is these times. That the kingdom of Poland was now in some of • desolating conflict between the troops of Russia and the people thus driven to desperation. And humbly submitting to her Majesty that these facts demanded the peaceable in terposition of England in vindication of her own public faith sad solemn enngements. Sir DE LACY EVANS seconded the motion, which was opposed by Mr. Newdegate, who doubted if the Poles were in • condition to exercise their iodependence if it were granted to them. He warned the house that there were jesuitical agencies at work io Poland, and that the Pope had refused to resist in the pacification of the country. He protested, then, against the house being deceived into urging upon the government the adoption of a policy which might be attended with serious complications, and be little likely to advance the cause of true freedom in Poland. Mr. BUXTON said the combined protest, of Ear had, France, Italy, Austria, SPILL Sweden, Nolctrara Holland, sod of Relginm—he heartily wished he add the name of Prussia too—eouli not bat ring in the ears of the Russian Emperor. Aa additional motive for making such • protest had been afforded by that tram seendart meaner of which the King of Prue& had been guilty—(bear, her)—in eagerly nearing Russia that be would do his part towards crushing the uefortanate Poles, and that hie sympathies were now, as they ever had bees, with the oppressor against the oppressed. A bean action than that Europa had not seen for many a loos yen It might be, too, that our joining ourselves with Frans in remonstrances would tend to bold her back from war. On the whole, look at the atrocities that bad been done, and the dire likelihood of still fouler deeds ; seeing the real inclination of the Cur's mind towards humanity ; seeing what force in these days the voice of all Christendom must have, if uttered firmly; seeing the steps which Pruseia had taken, the unitises in which Austria stood, sad the decision to tibia MOP wan tending, the motives seemed sting for our government not to linger, but to call inn every power, great or small, of Europe, to join with England to condemn what was past, and to pus' upon Russia for the days to come a gentle sad wise policy towards Poland. (Chan.) Mr. M. MILERS said he hoped the house would fully estimate the importance of this subject, because he appre hended that on the way in which the house would speak that evening would depend in • great degree the line of conduct which the government would take with regard either to adopting any proposition which the Emperor of the Punch might cadre in this matter, or initiating any measure of its own. If he was right in this apprehension. her Majesty', government would do well to follow the opinion of the house, because if this question was one wbieb bad long engaged the attention of mankind it was one in which no goverment would be justified in sating entirely on their own private opinion. It was one in which they could only sot with safety sad with honour by obtaining the fall support of the horn slid the country, not only in any MINIUM which they might take on the oecasion, but in any consequenceswhich might result. No doubt the " later peaticie "meant by the hon. genthinsaa meant diplomatic loterpositica. Although he had se reason to believe that, is the present aspect of Europe. there was any immediate rev sou tonne's that diplomatic interpositios would be fol lowed by say more serious meserionn yet it bemuse the ...1. , • ' COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. —Fait. 27.

On the incline the stoppage occurred in coasequsnos of one of lb. boiler tithes bursting, an accident which could not be foreseen.

She was quite dead. Her person wee exposed, and her clothes were torn off her waist. Her features were swollen and bloody.

It was mentioned in our report last week that there had been some considerable transactions in 40's mule for India, at 23d. per lb., but we omitted to say that the staple was to be Swats, of good qualities. Since those transactions hominess in ell kinds of yarn has been exceed ' ingly fiat. The cloth market has alai been very depressed, with very little inquiry, and irregular prices. Very few sales are reported, and where there have been any, sellers have mostly been compelled to take rather lower rates than could have been obtained on Tuesday. Many of the holders of cloth maintain considerable steadiness, but at the same time others appear rather anxious to sell, and this leads to much irregularity. For printing cloths there is very little demand. The stocks of long cloths and T cloths are now small comparatively with some other goods, and the better qualities are held with much firmness. Domestics are rather scams Messrs.
