IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS.—Mosix&y, JULY 20. The LORD CHANCELLOR took ha seat 00 the woolack at Ike o'clock. The Duke of ARC YLL presented a petition from Slid ield calling the attention of the government to the import ance of establishing a water communication, by means of • ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ottawa River, and praying that facilities should be granted for such • purpose, so that the grain butte might be carried on direct through Canada, Instead of going round by the United States. The peti tioners gave statistics to show the importance of the trade. PRIVATE BILLS. The following bills were rand • third time and passed Waterford and Passage Railway and Ferry ; Peterborough, Wisbotch, and Sutton Railway ; North Eastern Railway (Hull and Doocarter branch) ; Northampton and B an b ur y unction ; Ediuburgb, and Dunfermline and Perth (North Britian) Railway ; Baddingtonaltire Road ; and New Mil ford Docks Bilk NAVY PRIZE AGSMS BILL Lo►d CHELMSFORD mowed the second reading of this bdt sad explained that its object was to °liable the captors of prises to appoint arias for disposing of the prizes, for faciLtating the distribution of the pnze money, and for re munerating the prize agents. After some remarks from the Duke of SOUKRSZT and the Earl of HAiDwWKI the bill was rend a seoood tiros. THE MILITIA IN CANADA. Lord LYVEDEN irked the government whether any and what steps had been taken to raise a militia in Canada since the date of the last despatch of the Colonial Secretary to Viscount Howdy dated the 10th December, 1862. The noble lord reminded the house that last year the Canadian legis lature rejected the Militia Ball, sod that in consequence her llajesty's government intimated to them that it was • matter of absolute necewity that they should take mea sures for defending themselves, and not rely upon the mother country in the event of war for protection. He was retailed that the people of Canada were thoroughly loyal, lint at the same time it was their duty to make some provi. Won for their own defence, and he wished to learn what steps had been taken. Earl GRANVILLE said it would be perfectly imp esible for the mother country to give any reel assistance in the way of colonial defence unless she were conlidly supported by the colonista themselves. He was sorry that be could not give • satisfactory answer to the question of his noble friend. The bill with regard to the militia which passed the Canadian parliament in the lett session was entirely umatisfactory ; but the feeling of the country wee happily very mach in advance of that of the government. This was shown by the fact that, whereas the bill only authorised the raising of 10,000 militia, 25,000 voluatems offered themselves and have been accepted, and were now in a state of great efficiency 5,000 more volunteers tendered their services, but these were declined by the colonial government from a Was sco• sunny. The colonial ministry was recently in course of re-organisation, and as the parliament would meet in three weeks they would probably soon know what course would be taken with regard to this important matter. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL.. The above bill wee committed, and ssTeral of the denim amended, after 000sidereble discussion.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Finch liatton's Estate ; lloylake Railway ; London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway (No. 1) ; and Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway. Co the motion that the London (City) Traffic Regulation' Bill be read a third time, Sir J. SHELLEY moved, as an amendment, that the bill he recommitted to a committee of the whole house. The bon. gentleman said he made this motion, not because some good might not be done by the bill, but because it would affect the traffic of the whole metropolis, which was a mat ter which ought to be considered by that house in committee. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY opposed the amendment. The regulation of the traffic over Loadon.bridge had given the City authorities some experience, and he believed that if the Court of Aldermen had powers granted to them to re gulate tbetintle through the streets of the City of London putridly, it would be • great benefit to all persona passing tbroagh with vehicles. _ _ Mr. AYBTON said the bin proposed to give the Court of Alderms—a body of the narrowest and most exclusive dia. meter—the power of regulation the traf6c over tho whole of the metropolis, not t►e City of London merely. If anv power at all were rooted, it ought to be to the C3E11171100 eouncil. or to the Board of Works, which represented a constituency, and would be responsible to somebody or to parliament. The 11111 would enable the Court of Aldermen to prevent omni buss posing from the suburbs to the Bank of England, and he should therefore vote for the amendment. Mr. MASSEY said that the proposal of the boo. member for Westminster was of a very unusual character, he not Ding stated at the proper stage the amendments he pro- posed inserting in the bill. The power. to be given to the Court, of Aldermen, and which were objected to by the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, were simply matter. of de tail, and therefore be thought it would be monstrous to re commit the bill on the grounds stated. Mr. CRAWFORD supported the bill, and hoped that the louse would not consent to its recommittal, as that would be practically throwing it over for this resins. Sir G. GREY hoped that the hon. baronet would with draw his amendment. He (Sir G. Grey) considered the bill to be a meet useful bill Mr. BLILLIE had, u chairman of the committee, un derstood that all opposition vu to be withdrawn. The amendment wee negatived, and the bill was read a third time and passed. GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY (STEAMBOATS) BELL. Ou the order of the day for the resomptiosa of the discur sion 00 this hill, _ _ Mr. MASSEY suggested that the discussion should be postponed until to-morrow (this day). Mr. ADAM objected to any postponement. Mr. CRAWFORD moved that the discussion be post poned for two mouths. Captain JERVIS said that, as the committee bad laid their report on the table, and as the report fully substan tiated the necessity for the bill, he trusted that the present motion would Ue oesatived.. Sir H. CAIRNS supported the motion for postponement, oe the grounds that the opponents; of the measure had not bees permitted in the committee to show that there were no "meal reasons for violating the standing order of thebouse in favour of this Sir H. BRUCE defended the committee, and said that the opponenn bad declined opposing the bill, except by a opeech on the general prieciple. Mr. M. 0113 SON said be should oot have interfered in the &demotes bat for the report of the deportment with which he was connected upon the general question as to bow far railway companies should be permitted to be pro prietors of steamboats. The Weld of Trade, in stating the limits within which they thought such powers should be granted, recommended that when a railway oompany was iu posseseio• of a line terminating at a point in an important district. the import and export trade of which was shown to need development, and which was not supplied by pri vate enterprise with the requisite steam tornalunicatim, the compony should be permitted to become proprietors of steamboats. This was exactly a cue in point. At present there was not a single steamboat leaving the 'until coast of England all the way from Loadou to Hall ; private enter prise had not, and was sot likely to, supply the steam commuuication between that important coast and the oppo. sire coast of Helloed, and when a railway company under took to supply the want it was said that they should not because • steam navigation esnipany had boats running from London to Holland. He thought the ramose given by the committee for making this an exeeptum to the ordinary rule were well founded, and they had precedents for grant ing oilch powers, in the communication between Newhaven and Dieppe. between Dover and Conde. and Dover and Boulogne, and between Holyhead and Kingstown. The bill had been saoctioned by committees of both houses, and he hoped that it would be allowed to pass. Mr. H. G. STUNT remarked upon the difficulty of coming to • derision upon quest.oos of this character without having the statements of counsel and all the endues before them, and urged the house to adopt the recommendation of the majority of the coalmines. Mr. CLAY was of opinion that when the improvements of the port of Harwich were complete there would be no want of private esterpries in the establishment of steam eommunicatioe with Helloed. He viewed with the greatest Worm any ammo far giving steam iremels to railway nom wise, the tesdeeey of whirl was to bud over to them monopoly of the trade frem certain parts of the oast. Sir E. COLEBROOK I', opposed the bill The house then divided ; the embers were : For the amendment Against l2l-82 The bill was accordingly ordered for third reeding. The etandiug orders were also anspeaded in the case of the North British Railway (Steamboats) Bill, and it was ordered for third reading. TUE EXPIIESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1863. Of Vienna have failed to secure the good government of I Poland or the peace of Europe, and any farther attempt to rt place Poland under the cooditious of that treaty must cause calamities to Poland and embarrusinent and danger to Europe. He proceeded severely to_ criticise tbs propositions made by the three powers to Biu, w hi c h implied the engrafting of a constitutional goverment of a province on a despotic power, and attributed them to the ' B o ote e., of Austria, ohm only intention was to cheat the Poles ; but he added that England had, by insisting on an armistice and a confereoce, made her policy safe. Russia, however, had rejected these latter, and had accepted only that which was the proposition of Austria. lie argued generally that no protocol or congress-emoted kingdom of Poland would now do, and if she wu to be freed from the pusses rule of Russia it could only be done by establishing her independence. The peaceful attainment of that object depended on Austria, and her giving up of Galicia, which must be followed "oy Prussia yielding Pout, and the rest moat follow. _ __.____ _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid hie right hen. friend had not massed for any declare boo from the government of their future intentions. He had felt that, as an important despatch, contain ing the answer of Russia, had just been laid on the table, the present was not a moment when any further develop ment of their future policy would be appropriate. Acting as they did in concert with Austria and France, it was their absolute duty tc take counsel of those powers before consi dering or deciding on their future course. But before be sat down he wished to make an observation on the motion of his right hon. friend. His right hon. friend invited them to make a solemn reostriciation of the treaty of Vienna. His motion was pondemnatory of that treaty, but he must him , self feel that it very inadequately conveyed all the senti ments he had expressed in the bons. as to the reixestitution of Poland and the comparative facility of attaining that consummation. But Limited as the motion was, it was not one which it was desirable the house should adopt. Whether the case of Poland was parallel, as his right boo. friend seemed to thick, to that of Italy he would not undertake to say, but he did say that her Majesty's govern ment bad pursued precisely the same course in both in• Manx*, vie., by intervention strictly diplomatic, by using their goad offices, by a plain expnimion of aentimente which they believed to be for the benefit and interest of all, they had endeavoured to do what little good might lay in their power. What they felt in the case of Italy was that no government ought to commit itself to any incomes mikes the objects contemplated were pew ticanU and attainable ; and he believed they had acted upon that principle. But would his right hon. friend, by asking them to condemn the treaty of Vienna, really confer a be nefit upon Poland? What they had always contended for wee., sot that Poland required to be placed under the treaty of Vienna, but that ohs was under the conditions of that treaty. That was the language held by his noble friend thirty years ago, and that was the effect of all they had represented on the present occasion. It might no doubt be said they might get a better treaty, but that was not the question before the house. The Tuella' was whether they could do any good to the Poles by the formal abandonment and renunciation of the treaty of Vienna. What would be the effect of that? They would leave the Poles the subjects of Russia by cooqueet ; they would depart from the only definite and tenable ground on which they had a right to address Russia. They would not by such a course as that improve, but on the contrary would materisUy injure the position of Poland, so far as it might_ he de pendent on the efforts of other powers on its behalf. For that reason be trusted the house would not be disposed to adopt the motion of his right hon. friend. It might be little that could be hoped on this question from any inter , vention, diplomatic or otherwise. The intrinsic difficulties which his right hon. friend seemed to regard as light were, be feared, enormous. The consequences of former misdeeds dogged and followed not only those who inflicted the snook but those who suffered it, and to repair a political cry, especially after it had long subsisted, was almost in many mess beyond the power of man. Helmeted, however, that in the case of Poland no British government would ever shrink, or place itself under the suspicion of shrinking, from any effort to attain, by legitimate and prac tical means, whatever could be attained on behalf of that gallant, unhappy, and long suffering people ; but with theca opinioes it would be a betrayal of duty on their part if they acceded to the motion, which appeared to them, though undoubtedly intended to benefit Poland by one of its ablest and most enthusiastic advocates, yet would really tend rather to weaken than strengthen its position, by depriving friendly powers of the only bads on which they would be warranted in interposingon behalf of Poland. (Hear.) Mr. HENNESSY contended that the feeling of the people of England had been unequivocally expnmeed in favour of Polish freedom, irrespective of any of the terms of the treaty of Vienna. He combatted Mr. Honman's notion that Austria was iasincere, and eves treacherous, in her present conduct towards Poland, and urged that the Aus trian government was really anxious for the Poles, while the Austrian people and the Austrian army gave them their entire sympathy. He asserted that the treaty of Vienna was not confined to the Duchy of Warsaw, but in eluded the Polish provinces of Russia. He forth's; argued that the Prussian people were in favour of Poland, wh , le France, is her support of the cause of the Poles, contem plated ho territorial aggrandisement ; and as, in feet, all Europe was with her, it could hardly happen otherwise than that there should be established an independent Poland. _ Mr. KINGLAKE admitted that England had a right to call on Russia in reference to the treaty of Vienna ; but that not being a treaty with guarantees, she was not bound to go to war in support of it. Unless its interest of England were involved it would not be passible to take the country into a war for mere sympathy. He also defended Austria from the charge which had been made against her, showing that there was every reason for her being impelled sincerely to advocate and promote the cause of Poland. As to the coal= of Galicia by Austria, be produced statements from Galicians them selves to the effect that they did not desire to throw off the rule of Austria. He pointed out the difficulty of obtaining an armistice, which, in fact, would be dived. vantigloos to the Poles themselves ; and therefore it would be unwise to break off negotiations with Russia because she declined to accept an armistice. He objected to the motion as condemnatory of the treaty of Vienna, which was the only ground on which her Majesty's government had to go. Mr. It EACOCKE hoped the bowie would not agree to the resolution, but allow the whale responsibility to reef capon the government, which had placed the country io • position of considerable difficulty and of coosidendge danger, from which it could not advance with profit or recede with credit. Sir F. GOLDSMID said that he belonged to a religious community whose numbers, counted by thousands in other parts of Europe, might be counted by millions in Poland, and their future fate was greatly involved in the present struggle. Of late years the Russian government had adopted the usual policy of despots, and contrived to set class against clams, and had used the Jews against the ca tholic., and inducer , the oatholics to acquiesce in the pers., cation of the Jews. Ha was glad, however, to be able to say that the Jews were now joining hand and heart in the struggle, and that the catholis were cordially welcoming their aid. Those who were best informed, and whose opinion was entitled to respect., believed that England would do more for Poland if she adopted some course like that indicated by the resolution before the house, and inti mate to Russia that its rights over Poland had ceased ; and when the Chancellor of the Exchequer asked, how would that benefit Poland, be would reply that it would have a sort of negative superiority over the course pursued, in not asking Russia to enter into arrangements which she regarded as impracticable, or to make promisee which she would eertainly break. Mr. NEWDEGATE thought that in these negotiations little consideration bad been shown for Russia. The right bon. member for Stroud proposed that we should request her Majesty's government to cast aside the treaty of 1815, that we should abandon the ouly ground of negotiation, and that Fluent must yield to the demands of tome. The ground of , complaint against Russia was that she was resisting • re. hellion conducted by a secret agency, and at a time when she wu endeavouring to advance from a position of despotism and slavery into the community of constitutional states. He thought it had been too much overlooked that no one empire had does so much for freedom a. Russia in this cen tury. (Hear, bear.) Millions had gained freedom by th e act of the mperor iu abolishing serfdom, and was such conduct as this to entail upon him the hoe. tility of Europe at the instance of constitutional England ! Hs must esprees his full confidence that this great goes sloe was safe in the hand. of her Majesty's government, sod he was therefore prepared to vote mama% the motion. (Hear. . . _ . Lora H. VANE thought it would be mach better toles,* the natter in the bawls of government than to make speeches which tended to irritate without producing any use ful result. Mr. S. BEAUMONT believed that the seutimentsex premed by the bon. memoir for North Warwickshire (Mr. Newdegate) with regard to Russia wee not shared by any other member of that house. (Hear, hear.) He talked of the generosity of the Emperor of Russia. Did he moan to my that General llottiavieff was generous—a man whose brutal acts had aroused, nut only the indignation of that house, but of all Europe? (Hear, bear.) He (Mr. B eaumont ) could not vote for the motion of the right boo. member for Stroud, because he believed it would not lead to • eulution of the question, while it would certainly imply • censure on the conduct of the government. .........—. Lord PALBEILIPON —Sir, my right hon. friend who has made this motive Las made a speech which was marked by his usual ability, and to which the house Hawn(' with the greatest attention and delight ; but as he weal along it ap. pealed to me that that speech was not so oonsiocrit itself as the speeches of my right boo, friend usually have been ; nod, moreover, that speech was evidently not con sistent with the motion which he has made. In the beginning of his speech my right houourable friend blued fault with the government of 1831, and with myself as the organ of that government, for having interfered diplo matically in the affairs of Poland. He reproached the government with timidity and with not having pursued their point to the arbitremeet of war. Mr. HORSMAN—I approved of everything that they did. Lord PALMERSTON-1 think my right hon, friend went further, and I am very glad that 1 misapprehended what he said with respect to the past time. He certainly did peas very high pestse upon the course pursued by my noble friend at the head of Foreign Affairs on the present occasion, inasmuch as he said it was a greet diplomatic priaeiple to Lave obtained the coneurreaeo of almost all the powers of Europe to the repreeetitatiotm made to Russia against the course she has pursued with regard to Poland. But it streak me that the gist of as, right hooey:stile ARMY PRIZE RONEY. Lord PRORT appeared at the bar and brought up the fol lowing reply of her Majesty to the address of the house upon the subject of army prise motley :—" I have received your address praying that a commission should be issued to inquire into the realimtion of army prize property. its mode of distribution, and the causes of the delays which have in most cases occurred in its distribution to the captors, with a Mew to remedy the same. I have given directioos that a commission shall issue for the purpose* you have mutated." NOTICES OF MOTIONS. MONUMENTS IN WESTMLYSTER ABBEY. Mr. M. MILNES gave notice th►t on Friday next be should call attention to the mode of procedure observed by the Dien and Chapter of Westminster with reference to the erection of public monuments in Westminster Abbey. EDUCATIONAL REPORTS. Lord R. CECIL pre notice that early next session be should more a resolution upset such extensive alteratioos being made in the marts of her Majesty's Inspeetoss of Schools as tended to destroy their vane. THE CHURCH IN IRELAND. Mr. DILLWYN gave notice that early next session be should cell the attention of the house to the Ade el the established church in Ireland. THE CASE OF ME. WEYMOUTH. Mr. FERRA ND g►ve notice that to-morrow (this day) he should sub the Secretary to the Admiralty why the board bad promoted Mr. Weymouth to a ti-über inspectorship at Deptford Yard, b• being upwards of 68 years of age. CHURCH RATES BILL. Lord A. CHURCHILL roved that the order for the issued reading of his Cht.rch Fate Bill be discharged. He begged to say that he should introduce the bill again next The order wu then discharged. MAIL PACKET CONTRACTS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said with re gard to the mail packet °attracts he begged to state there were three which bad bees laid on the table and were in the bands of bon. members, those having reference to the Owe, Bland, and the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Packet Com pany, and his right bon. fnead would aak for a vote for them tomorrow (this day.) With respect to the Dover contract, inasmuch as it was not yet concluded and would not be in the hands of members for some days to come, be should cot submit any vote to the house with regard to that contract during the present Nessiou. NEW WRIT. Upon the motion of Mr. Sarin a new writ was ordered to lamas for the County Clare in the room of Francis Mac- Damara Calmat Esq., dammed. TELEGRAPHIC LINE IN BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. Mr. WYLD asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies if her ?deputy's government had sissified their in tention to make grants of l►nd to the extent of 1,000,009 acres, in portions of the crown territory traversed by a pro posed telegraphic line between Canada and British Colamoia ; if the government had determined in what district of the territories of Bri.ish North America the grant of 1,000,000 awes was to be made ; and if the people to be settled upon the lands so granted were to be subject to the govern ment of the province of Canada, or to the governors of the colony of British Columbia. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the beet answer be could give the hon. gentleman would be by referring him to the papers laid before parliament. The government intended to follow tb 3 Americus precedent in making grants, but the arrangements bad not yet been fully completed. As to the last part of the hon. member's question, be thought it was somewhat premature. IMPORTATION OF DISEASED CATTLE. Mr. F. HUME, to the absence of Mr. R. Long, begged to ark the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to certain statement respec.ing the importation of diseased sheep and cattle made by Professor Gunges in his inaugural address to the mem. hers of the New Veterinary College, Edinburgh, in Nor- I ember, 1862, viz., that " pneumonia and epizootic aptha sever appeared in Ireland till foreign cattle were im ported there ;" that " the maladies peculiar to British soil, though often very fatal, arose above an or one sod a half per cent. loss, and usually much leas ; five, six, and ten per cent. are a common yearly average now ; and that last year we did not lose in Englaad alone less than three times the amount of cattle we imported ; and if we citadels the loss over the three kingdoms, it will be found that for every animal we purchaad from foreign dealers, we did not 10311) lees than six or seven of our own." Whether the above statemente are well founded, and if so what steps the government propose to take to prevent such evils for the future ; and whether the replete of Professor Ganges, made to the government ca his return from the continent last autumn, will be laid upon the table of the house this session. Sir G. GREY said he bad not yet received the general re port from the Couneflolllos, but be believed it would be preeented to the house in two or three days. He was un able to state, therefore, whether the statements referred to were well founded. CRIMINAL LAWS OF JERSEY. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Secretary of BtaW for the Horne Department whether he intim:sled to bring in a bill or bill. to carry into effect the recommendations of the royal commirsionen appointed in 1846 for inquiry into the crimi nal laws of Jersey, and the royal commissioners appoint:l in 1859 for inquiry into the civil laws of Jersey, except such of them (if any) as have bcen already carried out by the state. of Jersey ; and particularly whether it was his intim lion, considering that the said states have declined to reform the royal court, to take any coarse, by legislation or other wise, to carry out the rcoommeodations of the said royal conamissiooers (1849) on that subject. Sir G. GREY said the government had at present no In tention of proposing a bill on the subject ROYAL FORESTS IN ESSEX. Viscount ENFIELD asked the Secretary tc.. the Treasury whether it was inteoded to set upon the reoommeedatioos ceetained in the report of the Committee on the Royal Forests in Essex. Mr. F. PEEL said the committee were very much divided in their opinions, and it was not easy to collect precisely what recommendations they made, or bow they were to be acted on. The crown bad no lauded property is these forests, so that it remained with the lord of the manor and the copyboldera to decide whether the land abould be en closed or not. REGULATION OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the President of the Board of Trade if there existed any regulation, of the Board of Trade to prevent passenger earrimes being attached to the engine or tender of a railway train without the inter vention of a luggage or other van. Mr. M. Gll3loil skid the government had no power of making any regulations as to the mode in which railway comptnies placed carriiiges on their lines. With respect to this precise point, if the inspectors had moiled on it the Board of Trade would probably have communicated with the comp►niee by ► letter, to ask them to consider the ques tion, but they had no power to mike say regulation. BANKRUPTCY RETURNS. Mr. MURRAY asked the Attorney-General tor au ex planation of the delay le laying before parliameot the annual general return to the 11th October, 186:!, of the business of the respective °Meal is the °porta of bank ruptcy sod registrars of county court, actiog in baokniptcy (required by the 67th section of " the Bankruptcy Act, 1861 ") ; and if he could state when the returns would be kid upon the table, and whether they would thee be arranged under the authority of the Home Department, and published so as to complete the judicial statistics for the year 11462. The SOLICITOR•GEN ERAL said it waa a subject of great regret that the returns were not in proper time laid upon the table of the house, but the delay had not arisen from any want of urgency on the part of the Lord Chan cellor. The gentleman whose duty it was to prepare the returns bad suffered very much in his health during the peat year, and yet had been very unwilling to allow any part of his duties to devolve upon others. He was informed that the returns would certainly be laid on the table of the house on Monday pert, and the judicial statistics of the year would be concluded as soon a possible. Mr. BLAKE asked the UuderSseretary of Slate for War on what grounds were medical officers of the army, a late warrant, precluded from acting as . presidents of of inquire, boards of survey, and committees. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said that a committee had been appointed to consider the subject, and the result of their inquiries was to place it. medical .[Deers in pre cisely the game position as ether nos-combatant officers of the army, but certainly no 'gime was intended to be cast upon them. THE LATE RIOTS AT ST. VINCENT& Mr. W. FORSTER wished tooth the Under Sam tar, of State for the Colooies whether the statement was true that during the recant riots at St. Vincent's there was indiscri minate flogging of the Degrees, by order or permission of the authorities, and if he had not heard of such statement whether be would inquire into its truth. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said very full information bad been received at the Colonial-office, but he could only find three cases of flogging motioned as having taken place during the continuance of martial law, and those were the canes of three neerroes who were flogged by order of s police magis trate. There were also a number of persons tried and oorn mittedaod sentenced to flogging as part of their punishment, but the governor had been directed to mitigate the son tem'. He was quite prepared, if required, to procure fur ther information. POLAND. The orders of the day haring been postponed on the motion of Lord Palmerston until atter the notice of motion relating to Poland, Mr. HORSMAN moved that in the opinion of the house the anaagements made with regard to Poked by the treaty friend's speech was that mere diplomatic representa tions were unavailing unless followed by force. (Hear, hoar. He seemed to me to deuy the power of public emotion. Now I hare always thought — and the praise which began to my noble friend for having obtained the otheurrineee of most of the States of Europe in the representations made to Ruses seems to imply that he also thinks—that the force of public opinion is often almost equal to the force of arms ; and there is no doubt that the tome of public opinion is • most powerful thrice upon the conduct of men and of governments. That which has happened is • striking proof of this. In the demotions which took due In 1881 and I&P2 the Russian government of that day denied that we had any right to remonstrate with them on the affairs of Poland, founding ourselves on the treaty of 1815. They said that Russia had recognised • after the revolution, that that conquest annulled all the engagements of 1815, that we were thee interfering in a matter which coarsened the internal affairs of Russia, and that we had no right to meddle with what belonged to the Emperor alone. Now the ground taken by Russia is entirely different. Yielding to the joint opinions of the great powers of Europe the says she is willing to enter into a discussion of the affairs of Poland within the limits and no the grounds of the treaty of Vienna. Well, 1 say that that is a great step gained, and it affords a prospect of a better condition of things in Poland than the former ground taken by Russia entitled us to expect. (Hear, hear.) It is quite true, as the hon. member for King's County (Mr. Hennessy) said, that the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna were two fold, the lint paragraph relating to the kingdom at Poland, and the other relating to the Polish sub jects of Austria, Russia, and Prime ; but as Poked was a separate kingdom attached to Russia, it is quite clear that the paragraph related to Russian subjects sad to the ancient kingdom of Poland, which had been is corporated with the Russian empire. Now, it is mid that England was at the time of the treaty of Vienna mainly in strumental in giving Poland to Ruth& The fact is, as will be seen by deepatche-, which have been kid on the table of the house, that the Emperor of Russia bad a large army in Poland, and insisted upon keeping it. It was not then that England gave Poland to Russia, but Rath& had occupied and conquered Poland and refused to give it up ; and the treaty of Vienna was the best arrangement which at that time it wan thought possible to make. But that troth,' was made by the Emperor of Russia in the interest of Poland. He was then very mach guided by the Prince Casatorieki at that time, and he certainly contemplated giving to Poland a very liberal constitution, and intended to annex to that kingdom a large portion of those ancient Polish provisos, which bad been ircorporated with Russia, and now form part of the Russian empire. It is said that it was impossible to suppose that a free, that is to say a per liamentery, constitution for Poland could co-exist with despotic authority in Russia. Ido not the the force of that assertion. It was not incompatibility that prevented the constitution from working ; it was the arbitrary ten dencies of the Grand Duke Constantine of that day, who was constituted governor of Poland, and the change of feeling on the part of the Ros man Emperor, by which the constitution was sus mended, the parliament was prevented from meeting, ad a tyrannical government was established instead of that liberal and free constitution which it was intended by the treaty of Vienna to eetablisb. That led to the revolution of 1831, sod that revolution was created and carried into effect by the large Polish army which the Emperor of Russia established at the time when he was desirous of giving liberty to Poised. Well, then, we are told by my right hon. friend that there is no alternative now but either remaining perfectly passive and saying nothing at all, or insisting on the no-establishment of Poland upon its ancient and original buds. If all the powers of Europe were prepared immediately to go to war with Russia te compel her to restore everything that has been taken from Poland, then I could understand that it might be thought desirable that the object of such • com bination should be the re-establishment of the kingdom 'of Poland as it originally existed ; but it is quite clear that that cannot be accoroplished by persuasion, but only by force. The only grouted on which we are entitled ea a matter of international right to speak to Ruses with regard to her treatment of Poland is the treaty of Venue. That treaty entitles us to rcqiiire that certain arrangements contemplated by it should be esta- I blishad for the kingdom of Poland, and that certain arraoge meats should he estabbthed with respect to the Polish pro vinces. The moment you gobeyond that and saitßussia to coeati tute Poland as &separate kingdom such as it was before the partition, you have no ground on which such a demand can be made, and such a demand could only be enforced by war, and by successful war. The powers of Europe are oot pre to take that course ; but the right hoc. gentleman pre pared having argued at considerable length that you ought to go to war with Russo for the purpose of than great change, his resolution does not tally with his spethh, because it amounts to this—that we should dodos, to Russia that the treaty of Vienna in regard to Poland is at an end, and that we should therefore direst ourselves of the right which we now possess of remonstrating with Russia with regard to the treatment of Poland. I cannot see how we could amid the Poles by such a course. We are now en titled to represent to Russia that the has not fulfilled certain engagements undertaken by that treaty, that she has OM given to Poland that con stitution which the treaty has distinctly stipulated should be the link between Poland and the imperial crown. We are entitled to make that representation, and to say that Russia, by the second paragraph of the treaty, is bound to do that which Austria and Prussia have done for Galicia and Posen—that is, to give a national representation, sod national institutions to the Polish subjected Russia. But the moment we declare to Russia that the treaty is at an end, the Emperor of Russia will say, " I accept your con dition ; I bold Poland no longer by treaty, but by conquest it is mine by right ; it is mine by the right of the sword ; touch it who chooses. I have a right to keep it without any condition whatever, and, by your own admission, to regard it as any other part of the great empire of Russia." it seems to me that se far trees that PM.. being an advantage to the Poles, we should by adopt ing it baud over the Poles tied hand and foot to be dealt with according to the pleasure of General Mouravieff, or any other person whom the Emperor might appoint. (Hear. hear.) I should hope, therefore, that the house would not agree to the motion of my right bon. friend. It seems to me to be • most lame and impotent conclusion. It has been well said by my right hon. hued the Chancellor of the Ex chequer that it was impossible for her Majesty's govern ment to remain quite silent, and to do nothing in this Polish question. At the bezianing of the year the opinion of the house, the opinion of the country, and the opinion of Europe were loudly expressed in favour of some representa tion being made to Russia, and I hold it is quite at va riance with the common transactions of human affairs to say that you are never to remonstrate or to negotiate, unless you an prepared immediately to have re course to arms, if you do not obtain by negotiation the object you are endeavouring to accomplish. That would put an end to all intercourse between nations. We know that much is gained by these negotiations, and without recourse to those violent measures which my right hon. friend recommends. Her Majesty's government did that which I think WY required by the public opinion of this country, and in the debates in this house. We did that which we had a right to do. We invoked the treaty of Vienna, and we obtained the concurrence of France, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Belgium, and Sweden, who all concur with us in urging upon Russia a milder course io rived to Poland. It is said it would not give satisfaction to Poland if that result were obtained. I cannot see that there is any just foundation for that opiniou. The erudi tion of the Pules would be very much improved if they could be re-established in the condition in which they were to be placed according to the treaty of Visalia. But it is said that we have suggested an arrangement which would be perfectly impracticable, viz—an armistice. Now can any man see the cruelties which are committed—l fear on both sides—in this war, the dreadful waste of life, and the semi. lice of some of the most distinguished members of the Polish nation, and not wish to witness that lamentable struggle suspended even for a time, if it were not put a stop to altogether? If it were impended for • time I cannot but think that negotiatioos would intervene and a Baal settlement prevent the re currence of this contest. It is said, however, can it be done? Well, I think that has been answered in the course of this debate. If the Russian government, which I am sorry to say they have not, had agreed to the suspension of , this unhappy struggle, we have been told, by what has been supposed to be an authority, that this revolutionary govern- I metit in Poland his made it known that it would agree to • I conference, provided it were represented in that conference. ' Those who had authority to say that, those who had I moms to those reprithotatives of Polish liberty on that point -could they not obtain from that same authority—that secret authority, whatever it is—some engagement that if the Russian government declared itself ready to agree to suspend hostilities, that authority would enter into some corresponding arrangement, which would put an end to such a dreadful sacrifice of life and effusion of blood? I thick that was worth attempting. I think we should have been neglecting our duty if we had not made that one of the proposals, and left to Russia the responsibility of rejecting it. We have done our duty ; and though there are other points, some of which the Russian government have said they are already deter mined to carry into effect, and others which they are also disposed to carry out as soon as tranquillity is restored—l think that, however advantageous those points may be, it seems to me that there can be no successful negotiation for the purpose of carrying out any of those points. unless by some means or other we can stop the sacrifice of life in this struggle which it is so painful to witness, and which seems to be extending day by day and acquiring greater range than before. (Hear, hear.) lam sure the house does not expect her Majesty's government to state what course they will follow in this matter. The only thing I can state is, that as we have made our communication with the Russian government in concert with the govern ments of Austria and Francs, it will be our duty to communicate with those governments on the answers which each of the three power. have received from the Russian government, and I am persuaded that the course we shall afterwards take will be each as will meet with the approbation of this house and the country. Mr. HORSMAN said be quite agreed with the noble lord that her Majesty's government, having received the Russian answer only that morning, could not be expected to give their answer to it that night, and therefore, with the leave of the house, be would beg leave to withdraw his motion. The motion was then by leave withdrawn. The report of supply, and also the report of ways and means, were brought up and agreed to. TELEGRAPHS BILL.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) 11f ti DAVID TZLWCH.-HIANT FAILUILI IS TILL CORI AND The baokrupt was deicrihed ea acorn and coal-merchant, brick maker, and boyman, of Chatham. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. The accounts are of the most voluminous character, occupying several hundred folios. A convenient abstract, furnished by Mr. Joseph Hart, accountant, who was appointed to examine the amounts on behalf of the creditors, shows that the aggregate liabilities amount to 315971., of which 166331. is tto e unsecured creditor'. There are assets of 4,70D1., besides property held by secured creditors valued at 46601. The losses are returned at 12,2921., all incurred since July teat, at which time the bankrupt stopped payment, but was found, on au examination of his accounts, to be so:vent, with a surplus of 1,8691. The accounts being submitted to the principal creditors, a letter of license was granted him to carry on the business under inspection for twelve months. The liquidation (says Mr. Hart) has beet, unfortunate and most dieretrous, the estate having been involved in two Chaucer; suits and two notions at common law. The Jesuit wiui the loss above stated. Mr. Lowrance appeared for the assignees ' • Mr. C. E Lewis for the bankrupt ; and Mr. Hollams for c reditors. On the part of the sasignees there was no objcoMon to the bankrupt passing. It was stated that the creditors had agreed to accept a composition of 4x in the pound, but this fell through, and the bankrupt had coine to the court on his own petition. Mr. Hollams said he appeared for five differnt firms carryiog on business in Mark-lane, and for other creditors, including the largest, who were far from Wished with the extraordinary position of this estate. French had been bankrupt ten years since, and hie certificate (of the third class) had been suspended for six months. His legi timate business was that of a coal-merchant and boyman but he had entered largely iuto building speculations, and lad bought cure and immediately pledged it. The opposing creditors had dissented from the proposed inspection, but were unable at that time to take proceedings in bankruptcy. They believed that the consents of the other creditors had been obtained on a fallacious statement of accounts, and ware now determined on having • public inquiry. There was &difference of oot leas than 17,01k1. between the ac counts now rendered and those given in July last ; one or the other must be untrue. After a proloo g ed discussion as to the part taken by Mr. Hart in the wioding•up of the estate,. . . Mr. llollama asked tliit tb. accounts "should be carried back to • period anterior to July, 1863, re as to show when the bankrupt bought wheat on the Coro Exchange, when it was pledged, sad for how much, also what had become of the bankrupt's premises at Chatham. His Honour said that the requisite accounts had been ordered by blr. Commissioner Goulburn, and oo new facts had ariseu to render further scoouuta neceaaary. He did not think that any amputation rested on Mr. Hart ; but as a principle it was sot desirable that sty individual should act in a double capacity. In this case the accounts had been ratified by the official assignee as well as by the am countant appointed by the court. The bankrupt would therefore pass his lust examination; but looking to the voluminous nature of the ONO, it wan desirable that an adjournment of the order of discharge should take place. Adjourned accordiugly. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. Harriett Dated/. a young female wbo was charged a few days ago with writing and publishing threatening letters coutainiog obscene libels on various members of the &Asr. tire force of the City Police, was brought up for further exarnioation. The letters, it appeared. were of the most disgusting cha racter, sod it was stated that they had produced a deal of unhappiness in the families of the persons tow hom they were addressed. For the defence it was alleged that the accused sometimes wrote similar letters to herself, and that her intellect was impaired by a brain fever she had when • child. It was suggested by her counsel that if she were sentenced to a slight punishment, upon the understanding that her friends were afterwards to place ber in a lunatic asylum, the ends of justice would be fully answered. • She was, however,"committed for trial,' being carried out of court in a fainting state. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—MoNDAY. There was a fair attendance this afternoon, a large pro portion of members being induced to pay a visit to the rooms in expectation of hearing the final decision on the Tomato case, but, us the sequel will show, to be oboe more disappointed. Setting on the past week's racing was pro ceeded with as soon as aubscriben began to drop in. and was carted on with every appearance of money being "all there." Betting on future events was desultory, while all over the lawn members grouped them selves, and indulged in speculative discussions oft theinterminable Fern Hill Stakes case and its influence upon future turf disputes. At intervals, however, attention was turned to forthoomiog events, and some beery investments were made on the Nottingham Handicap and Goodwood Stakes. For the latter Anfield Will made a warm favourite, and afar opening at 8 to 1, at which be was supported for all the money that could be got 00, layers puled up half a point, but even at 5 to 2 the bvcken of Mr. Greville's horse were se " food" that they continued to invent at the latter price. Later on, however, a well.knowa bookmaker laid 1101. to 40/., and an offer to repeat the operation won quickly responded to. NOW 15 Win accepted about Bell. man, 10 to 1 wan offered "bar two." There was a disposi tion in certain quarters to back Koutaford, who, it would appear, is not quite "gone" yet during the afternoon B 3 to 1 was the longest price obtainable. The Cup betting was mere l y nominal, and speculation on the St. Leger or Derby was almost a dead letter. Before the close of the rooms it was announced that ''the committee" would meet at 4 o'clock on Thursdry next to give their final ul timatum in the Tormato case. The following is the oorres pondence which has passed between the committee of Tattersall's and Mr. O'Malley. Q.C., on the Tormato case s which may take rank among the causes celebres of the British turf : "assuming that the disputed hereon Tomato were referred by proper authority to the committee of Tattersall. either an the established tribunal for the settling of such dispute., or by the consent of the partite interested in the particular caw, 9,14 also assuming th►t there is no recognised custom to )ustify the course adopted by Admiral Rau, I am of opinion that the committee had no right to delegate to others who were not members of he body the decision of a question which was submitted to iteelf. " Although it miiht be open to the committee to all in the counsel of ethos, and to adopt their views ea the ground of its own decision, thaw does not appear to have been any such adoption in this case ; and the decision seems to have proceeded on the authority of Messrs. Stort and Onslow a lone ; I am of opinion, therefore, that the decision ought not to be oessidered binding, and that the committee is bound to decide fur limit. "I have, however, meowed the absence of any cust o m t o warrant the course takes by Admiral Roue in calling in the assistance of Marrs. Stud and Onslow, and that the nom. mitten did not adopt their views and pronounce an opinion in nocordance with it ; bet if I be mistaken in these re spects—if it be the custom to adopt such amine where the members of the committee are themselves interested, sad the committee acted in conformity with that custom, and adopted the decision as its own—l should say that in a maa like this, where the obligation is honorary, and the object is to afford a ode guide for men of honour upon a doubtful question, the daimon ought to be upheld.

" The committee being unable to gather from Mr. oMal. ley i opinion shells: he thinks the Tomato awe ought or ought not to be re-opened, beg be will have the goodness to give a definite answer—yes or no—to the question wheth er the original award should eland good."
