IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—lfoxamr, Jai: 13. Th. Low CoAncillos took Ids oat co Übe woolsack It Bye o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The royal meet was dine by commission to • variety of bilk --the 00101111181000 ls being the Lord Chaooellor, Earl iZ. - 0...7, - QTA7iifriiw THE CHANNEL FLEET AND RUSSIA. The &clot HALM th3BIIRY said he wished to pot question to the 110 • .le earl h Earl Russell) of which hohad given him notice privately —namely, whether au article relating to the Channel fleet, which appeared in the Observer of the previous day, was correct. The Observer had the reputa tion of being patronised by the government, and being a reflection of their opinions and intentions. That might or might net be the fact, but the impression had the effect of attracting public attention to what appeared in it, when if it were to soother paper it might nut be regarded. The noble earl then read the article, the effect of which was, that we must await the arrival of the Russian reply t o the jciut notes of the three powers; bat that in the meantime the Channel fleet was ordered to cruise in the Baltic. and that its appearance there might have a good effect It wee Impossible to misunderstand the feeling evinced in that article. It was one of menace to Russia; and although that might not he the intention of the noble earl, it was evident that if oar fleet was at that moment to to into the Baltic, the same inference would be drawn by Europe generally, and by the Russian government in par ticular, as was drawn in this article. The noble earl might reply that the Channel Hest was gone to the Baltic for the summer cruise which wee usual at this time of the year ; bin even if that should be the OS" he must say that, in his *pinkie, it would show great want of tact and judgment, considering the position in which the two countries stood, and the diplomatic negotiations which were being carried on with Ravin on the Polish question. Ile therefore wished to ask the aoble earl whether it was true that this demon stration on oar part bad been made, and whether the English fleet had been sent in all its strength to the Baltic. Earl RUSSELL—In answer to the noble earl Haig to state that there is not the smelled foundation for the para graph which he has seen in the Observer. Whatever in. formation the (Aserrer may get occasionally, the editor most certainly have been misinformed as to the intention of the government in the present case. GREECE. ----- The Marquis of NORMANBY wished to sob the noble earl whether there wen soy truth in the statement which appeared two or three days ago in some of the French semi offecial papers to the effect that the family of the young Xing of Greece had declared in London that his Majesty would not start for his destination until some arrangements had been made between the English government and the National Aseembl) of Greece for the temporary occupation of that kingdom by English troops? End RIISSELL—No such intimation has been made to tJare English government The Margie/ of NORMANBY said the statement ap peared is Ls France, which had as much of a semi-official deuseter in Fracas as the Oteerver had in England. THE CIRCUITd OF THE JUDGES. The LORD CHANCELLOR introduced • bill to enable her Mejerty in °mud to make alterations in the circuit., of the judges. The bill wen then read • flint time. PRIVATE BILL& The following bills were read a third time :—Calway Water, Milford Haven Dock and Railway, Great North of Scotland Railway, Forinartine and Buchan Rail way North British Railway (Wansbech Railway, Re.). lei:ad Railway, Great Northern Railway (Spalding to March), Lynn and Suttee Bridge Railway, Great Eastern Railway (additional ;ewers). Loden, Brigton, and South Comet Railway (sew line at Croydon, he.). THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND BURIAL fikitVlCE. Lord EBURY said the house would recollect that six weeks ago he moved en address to her Majesty, praying ter to appoint • commence to consider what steps ghoul be Liken to obviate the scandals which arose from the com pulsory date of the law requiring the indiscriminate use of the burial service of the church of &redid. It then ap peared to Indio unanimous feeling of the door that the evils WWI of such an intolerable nature that they ought to be pat an end to as soon an possible, and eventually the most revered primate said he would do all that he posed:lly could to devise some legislative remed . lJnfortunately while this matter use pending the went on as tbsy did before. Only the other day be received a letter from • gentleman in Warwickshire relating to • case in which a men havieg pat an end to his existence by deliberately walkiag into • pond, an inquest washeld and the reedit was • verdict of insanity, and an order by the coroner for the burial of the body. The curate of the parish said he dared not reed the appointed service, and the service was ultimately performed by • cler gyman from • distance, who was ignorant of the air cumstames. Another cam of • similar kind bad happened in a more populous place. In that instance the service was performed amid the murmurs of the people assembled, and when it was over • woman meat up to the clergyman and said to him, "Sir, the man you have buried was my hue hand ; you may say what you please, but I know he is gone to helL” Oasts of this kind showed the neonsity for the question which be had Dow to put to the most reverend prelate, namely, what steps Mame taken towards devising • remedy for the evils in question. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he had no diffi culty in answering the question. The promise he made was that the subject should be brought under the grave and serious consideration of the bench of bishops, sod that he would take every means in his power of ancertaioieg the opinion of the majority of the clergy on this important question. in fulfilment of that promise • very large assem blage of the bishops took place about four or five month, ago. It was attended by the prelates of the united church of Inland end Ireland, and oleo by • considerable number of colonial bishops. It arrived at no definite con clusion, and was adjourned. The lower house of convocation had also takes the subject into consideration sod its views with regard to it would he ascertained through the proctor. He hoped that soon after parliament again met be should be able to state what was the result, and that some satisfactory conclusion would be arrived at. The Earl of DESART said be retained the opinion that the question should have originated in the coevocation, adding that no one could doubt the possibility of repentance at the last momeet. The Archbishop of YORK said, after what bad passed in convocation and a correspondence which had taken place en the gabled, be did not entertain any sanguine hope that say measure could be introduced in the met minion of par - ban:MA which would meet with general approval. No doubt there wee every intention to meet the question idly and fairly, but there was great difference of opinion to the remedy for the evil. No doubt the difficulties which attended the guidon were very peat. He had looked fully into the subject, and he could not my that he was prepared at prompt with any suggestion. He thought it would be inconvenient if the hones were to separate with any idea that a pledge existed on the pert of any member of their lordship.' house that this question would be brought forward spin next session. He did not believe that any recommendation tending to re- move this difficulty woad emanate from the bench of bishops, or that any improvement could be expected to amain* from • royal commission. Earl GRANVILLF expressed his great regret that the most rev. prelate bad utterly taken away all hope of alle. vesting this most snots difficulty and burden to the con viction of many clergymen. The Archbishop of YORK said be did not wish it to be tuaderetood that he had abandoned all consideration of the question. He merely meant that he did not undertake to • offer any hope of • satisfactory solution at present. The Bishop of EXETER said he had frequently hoped that some solution of this difficulty would be discovered, ; but at present he entertained no such hope. At the same time he knew that his friend the most rev. prelate would • do his utmost to give the subject the most deliberate and • anxious consideration ; and there was no part of her Majesty's subjects whom the bench of bishops would be sogiadtomatisty in this matter as their lordships. If it were possible, he hoped they might get out of this dilemma. Were they pre pared to say that the burial envies should not continue as en expression of Christian hope over those who were brought to the grave! (No.) He thanked their lordships fee that expression of opinion. That being so, they must regard it se an essential part of the funeral service that it should ooetain the express Intone of Christian hope. But was that language to be used iediscrimioately it had been suggested that the use of this expression of hope should b• lift to the discretion of the clergyman. He sincerely hoped that this would never be—(hear, hear) — that there would never be an inquiiitio post mortem at the grave. (Hear.) Then came the qmstiou of whether a clergymen who omitted to nee the service should be made liable to punishment. He hoped the matter would in this respect be left as it was. At present • clergy man who omitted to perform the service was liable to ecele *ionised proceedings. And so it ought to be. The question then •rose, whether a demean would lay himself copes to ecclesiastical punishment who professed himself unable to use this language over men who had mat off their Christian allegimme, or who had died, it might be. blaspheming their lßissddeeeemer. The utmost punishment th►t could be inflicted on • clergyman for such an offence was not a heavy one—it consisted of suspension for three months ; and be could not doubt that ia eases of this kind, where the clergyman admitted his offence against the law, and submitted himself to kis bishop to award his sentence, that antenna would be a lenient one. He thought the matter should be left there—(bear, hear)—unless they were prepared altogether to eliminate the language of hope from the service. (The right rev. prelate, who was Dot through. oet distinctly audible, resumed his sect whilst delivering the last few sentences of his speech, at the conclusion of which be was cordially cheered by their losiships.) The subject then dropped. POLAND. Earl GREY rose to move that an humble address bear. seated to bar Mutsu for papers with regard to Poland. Let it sot be sapwood that he (Lord Grey) was more indifferent to Poland thee any of then lordships. He bad observed with as much horror u may one could have due the frightful bloodshed that woo gulag on, but he did sot think it became s great nation to act upon mere impulse. We ought to consider what we could, and what we ought to do; but he did dot believe that it was the duty of this country to set up as. a general redresser TITE of grievances all over the world. (Cheers.) He thought that her Majesty's government sbouldact in this case an they had ticket with regard to Amean. We had seen with great sorrow, and with equal surprise, a bloody and most purposely civil war waged in that country fur above two years ; but her Majesty's government thinking. with the almost universal assent of the English people, that they would only make matters worse by ince, feriug, had left things to themselves ; and he could not help feel ing that the same course would be the best they could adopt with regard to Poland. (Cheers.) Looking at the exceeding difficulty of theca's, and at the calamities that would einue from a war—at the certainty that if the liame were woee kindled it would soon extend over a large portion of the world, and at the extreme uncertainty whether the moat successful war would lead to any good result to Poland, and whether it would be posnble in any case to organise there a stable and really independent government—looking at the one side of the case and at the other, he did most cordially concur in tLe opinion upraised by his noble Mend the Secretary of State, that this was not a matter for an armed intervention. (Cicala.) Earl RUSSELL did not complain of his noble friend for bringing forward the question, nor for the tone sad temper in which he had treated it. But the question was one in which hor Majesty's government were acting in concert with the governments of France and Austria, who would necessarily have to be consulted in regard to any ulterior steps that might be taken. He admitted that this was not • case for armed intervention, and that such • proceeding would be more likely to produce fresh calamities than put an eta to those which already existed ; but be denied that simple diplomatic action need lead to war, or that the remonstrances and good advice which this country had offered to Russia could produce my evil re sults. The course which her Majesty's government bad punned was this the first place they entsied into communications with Fiance, which had always displayed • warm sympathy with the wrongs of Poland; and also with the government of Austria. which was strongly in favour of ruling its Polish subjects with as much regard as possible for their nationality, their religious opinions, sod their habits and customs. In conjunction, therefore, with these two powers, her Idejesty's government submitted six propositions to Russia, which provided for an armistice, and would, if accepted, secure for Poland national Matto tioa, and • national representation. Further than this, they could do nothing. They) could neither aseist the Poles tiv force of arms, nor propose terms to Hubei* for the recognition of the independence of Poland. If anything was obtained for the Poles, then, it would be the result of the force of reason and representations of what upon prin ciples of honesty and good faith was demanded from Russia. He could not say what the answer of Russia would be, or what course after receiving that answer it would be the duty of her Majesty's government to pursue. Everything de pended upon the answer itself, and the spirit io which the proposals of the western power were received. He regretted to say that the appointment of General Mouravieff and the decrees issued by that of were not favourable to the hope that the Emperor of Ramis would act • liberal and generous part towards Poland. Lord BROUGHAM said that the noble earl avowed that armed intervention wee oat of the question, and he did so at • moment when the Russian government was deciding what answer it should give to the six propositions. Earl RUSSELL —The Russian government has already decided. The despatch will be sent out tomorrow morning. Lord BROUGHAM said his noble friend stated that the despatch would leave —St. Petersburg he presumed—to- morrow mornio; but he took it for greeted that what that ni gh t in their lordships ' house would reach St. cared Petersburg be fore the answer of the Russian government was decided upon. (Hear, hear.) The notice given of what would take plane that night must have reached Si. Petersburg several days ago, and the Russian government, acting prudently, had in all probability delayed their answer to the propositions until they heard what occurred. But whether they did or not be agreed with his noble friend that an armed intervention was out of the question. An armistice had also been talked of, but he considered that if Ramie agreed to an armistice she would give op everything and receive nothing. An armistice would put • stop to the whole proceedings of Russia, and give a decided and complete advantage to the Poles. He therefore animated that, however much it might be desired, he had not the least expectation that Russia would consent to so armistices. This difficulty belonged to the whole no gotiatious in regard to Poland. With whom were they to negotiate on the part of the Poles? What authority on the part of the Poles was to come forward to accept any proposition or to offer any, and above all to give a guarantee that such an armistice, if granted, would be observed? Though be admitted we could not talk of offensive opera tions, et he held that defensive measures were necessary • and; he confessed he heard with great astonishment anti regret that in some most highly respectable quartets objection wee taken to the expense et such measures as needless expense, bemuse there was no danger of our being attacked. A man, however, did not insure his house be cause he expected • fire, bat as a protection to himself against lose in cams such an event should take place either from the negligence of his neighbours or other causes. The Earl. of DERBY—I confess, my lords, I seldom hear the question of Poland approached without very conside rable reluctance; and for my own part I have aid= or ever taken stl i utrt in the debates. I say I approach the subject with admire, because our judgment and our feel ings upon it are brought into painful and dangerous conflict. (Hear, hear.) It is impossible not to feel the warmest admiration at the manner in which this struggle has been conducted by a brave and generous people suffering- under • painful sense of their oan deno- tionality, if I may use the word, and suffering also under a feelicg of oppression by • foreign government. It is impas sable not to admire the gallantry, firmness, perseverance, and desperate courage with which, against odds incalcula ble, they have sustained, for so many years, what they have believed to be the:cause of their noun ; but, on the other band, 1 never approach a de late of this kind without thinking and without fearing that language held in this house and elsewhere, will quite unintentionally do much more injury to that gallmit people then it can possibly do good - that, may arouseinthein expectations and hopes c i t external assistance, and may lead to • belief in an intervention, seined or unarmed, to secure for them that which I may say is the dream of Poland, namely, the reatoratioo of her nationality ; and that the hopes and expectations so raised may lead to the continuance of • desperate struggle only to subject them to deeper mortification and despondency when they shall find that such hopes and expectations had so real foundation. (Hear, hear.) My lords, I confess I was somewhat surprised at the willingness which the noble earl (Earl Ritual) expressed to enter into the discus sion at this moment, because it did sppear to me amast inopportune moment for thediscussion of Nadia ques- Roe. Propositions have been submitted by the government for the consideration of Ramie ; we are expecting the answer to those propositions ; sod it is impossible but that that answer may he materially affected by the language held in this debate, on the one side or the other. On the one side, Russia might be justly irritated by language in this Louse holding forth the intervention of England with its armed forte, and in conjunction with its allies, to force upon Russia a course of policy of which she disapproved. On the other hand, • declaration that no possible circurn staacee will induce us to interfere except by diplomatic representation., might induce Russia to,be more strenuous in her opposition to the proposals of her Majesty's go/en meet than she would be in the absence of each • declara tion. Whateyeedelicacy I might have felt, however, in mime/nog my opinion, ham be entirely removed by the declaration of her Majesty's government—the clear and ex plicit declaration that, whatever may be the answer of Russia, Poland cannot expect, for the seta bhibroent of her liberties, the armed interven tion of this country. (Hear, beer.) If her Nit , jeaty's government %hist it consistent with their duty, , in the present state of affairs, to make that declaration, ' I can have no hesitation in expressing my entire corcur mos in that policy— icheerel—and my conviction, room , over, that it is the deliberate intention and determination of this country that it will not willingly and know ingly lie drawn into hostilities for the purpose of the maintenance of the liberties of Poland. (Hear.) Now, . that being the case, I contemn I look with some apprehension at the pounds consequence. 4:4 the course which her Majesty's government have taken. The noble earl (Earl Russell) sees before him clearly the difficulties which sur round any attempt at negotiation ; and what I apprehend, and what is I have no doubt the apprehension of the noble earl who introduced the question, is that, although this country and her Majesty's government are determined that they will not be drawn into • war in con . sequence of these representatioas, yet that gradually the effect of our diplomatic negotiations may be to lead to such disagreements and such complications that, in spite of our selvee, as was undoubtedly the case with regard to the Crimean war, we may be drawn into war sooner or later on this subject. It is quite possible, too, that this country may be dragged into • war not for the sake of Poland. but as against Poland. You impose certain conditioaltio Russia, and you impose the same conditions on Poland. and in the event of those condi tions being found impracticable, Rama is to have a right to my, " You compelled me to give these guarantees and make these promises, I have adhered to them ; I do not ask for your direct intervention, but I have • right to claim your moral influence and your moral force. But the danger which suggests itself is this :—when you agreed to take • the first step in diplomacy and sent these six propositions, did you come to an understanding as to what course you should pursue in the event of the acceptance or rejection of your proposals? It is important that you should not take one step without having well considered its consequences. It I is in that manner that we are drawn into complications and into was. I have not a word to say if the able earl can mum me that France, Austria, and England are perfectly agreed oo the course to be pursued in the alternative of the rejection of the proposals made to Russia. But if, on the other head, there is no such agreement, and the matter is to be left to the discretion of the separate Dego- Slakes, then I say the noble earl has entered as improvident course, and it is impossible for bias to foresee what European complications may arise. Earl GRANVILLE said it was at least highly improbable that the Russian government, after having invited as to in terchange ideas with them upon a specified basis, should turn round as soon se those ideas were communicated and say they would not entertain them. Another observation of the noble eal's was that he wished to know whether the government bad already consulted with our alkalis to what steps were to be taken &Rettig answer from Russia bed arrived. Now, he (Earl Granville) could not conceive an ything so improvideat as to enter into fixed agree. meats with the governmeets of other countries whilst we were in perfect iguana°, cd what the answeed the &mien government would be. The Russian government might reply 111 perfectly good faith. It might assent to some of the points and reject others; orit might take a line leading solely to delay, but it would be extremely unwise in to to decide upuo a amuse of motion before we had the facts thoroughly before us. (Neer, hear.) To desl with eir curnstaticee and facts as they arose must, he thought, be the 0011 wise policy of • governmeot, whoever might be in o ffi ce. The noble earl laid great stress oo the que.stion of the proposed armatice. But there wee no each thing as an "armistice" to be found in the despatch. The phrase simply was a "suspension of hostilities." The noble earl hail put it as if this were a sine qua nu o. the part of her Majesty's government. But what his noble friend intended was, to endeavour, for the sake of the tranquillity of Poland, as for am possible to briog about the suspension of hostilities, and he thought that for such an end no means ought to be neglected. It bad been said that this would not only be oot very easy, but that it was impossible. But the soble earl said that such a suspension would be entirely is favour of Russia., whereas the noble and loused lord was of opi nion that it would be against the interest of Rivals. 0 the truth lay half way between these extremes the thing would not be impossible, and although this war in Poland wu • guerilla warfare, their lordships knew it was under a general direction, and if that general direction chose to put a stop to hostilities it would be perfectly possible to do so, and thus put an end to those miserable atrocities and bloodshed which were exasperated by the cruelties which prevailed on both sides. The amnesty wu very different. In that case the Russian Emperor called upon the Poles to lay down their arms without conditions of any kind. He thought that the debate had been carried on in a manner singularly creditable to the bout, acid notwithstanding the difference which prevailed in several of the views expreered, the effect of it would be to atonable noble friend in carrying out successfully these difficult and delicate negotiations. (Hear.) The Marquis of OLANRIOARDE said be thought it was inexpedient to announce at the commencement of a negotia tion that we were resolved not to go to war in any event, and he thought that if on a former 00CIIIi011 Lord Aberdeen bad made a precisely contrary declaration, we might have I avoided being led into hostilities at all. - • • • • - Tha Duke of ARGYLL said he wished to correct an erro reous view which was entertained in supposing that the late Lord Aberdeen bad ever said that nothing should induce him to go to war in behalf of Turkey. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that Load Aberdeen had been represented to say that nothing should induce him to go to war under any circumstances. The Duke of ARGYLL said be believed Lord Aberdeen bad never said that. On the contrary, Lord Aberdeen fully ackaow'edged that circumstances might arias which might force him or any other minister to go to war for the lake of the honour of the country. He (the Duke of Ar gyll) maintained that unless the government were prepared to follow the advice of the noble earl (Grey), and do abso lutely nothing, they could not have done otherwise than take their stand, as they had done, upon the basis of the trash of Vienna. " ' The Earl of LIARROWBY agreed that it would have been ignominious, and, indeed,impomible for her Majesty's government to have kept silence. No ministry could have held its tongue while the heart of the nation was thrilling with emotion. He confessed be was now sanguine as to the course adopted by the government ; but be must can didly confess that he did not see say other that they could have taken ;and he trusted that it would at least tend to mitigate the abominable tyranny of which Russia bad been guilty. Earl RUSSELL said that the government bad no dee. patches which they could produce. When the answer of Russia was received it would be laid on their lordship' table by her Majesty's command. Earl GREY, after this statement, would, of course, with draw his motion. DRAINAGE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. This bill pared through committee. - PRISONS (IRELAND) BILL. . time.

BATTERIES AT BOMARSUND. /Ir. R. LONG asked the First Lord of the Treunry whether the government had received any information of the reconstruction by Ramie of the batteries at Bomarsund ; and, whether they had forwarded any remonstrance to the &laden government on the =West. Hr. LAY ABD—I beg to say that the government has so information upon the subject. (Hear, bear.) XP SS, TUESDAY EVENINCII, JULY 14, 1863. THE ARMSTRONG AND WHITWORTH GUNS. Sir J. HAY asked the Uoder Secretary foe War whether the Armstrong and Whitworth committee were likely loon to report • what the 'cause of the delay bad been ; and whether !nth competitors bad completed the guns ordered to make the experiment, The Marquis of HARTINGTON—I am lorry to say the report will not be ready foe a considerable time, and the delay has arisen in consequence of the gentlemen from whom the guns were ordered not having supplied them. It is probable that there will be a farther delay of some three or four months. THE HOSTILITIES WITH JAPAN. Lord NAAS asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in ease of the fortes of the Tycoon of Japan becoming engspd in hostilities with either the forces of the spiritual emperor or those of the native princes, the instruetiotis issued to the Commander-in-Chief of her INesty's fleet would authorise him to take part in such hostilities Lord PALMERSTON said it wee an invariable ride—the foundation of which was based upon the best of all possible reasons —never to publish instructions which were sent to naval and military officers until after the operations to which they referred were completed, and not often even in th►t we, sad therefore he could not answer the question which the noble lord bad put. (Laughter.) THE STATUE IN LEICESTER-SQUARE. Mr. ADDENGTON &eked the First Coennunioner of Works whether hia attention had been called to the muti lated condition of the @tattle in Leicester.square, and to the present neglected state of the space inside the ninny of the square ; and whether he would state upon what coo. ditions a site was pentad in the metropolis to private bodies for the rumen of erecting thereon a statue or other monu ment, ad wh-e such grant had been made, whether the de signs f r the weaned work were submitted to him, or to any other pm lie fitictiouary for approval, previous to its com. 1:11800111160i. Mr. COWPER said when be paned through Leicester ' square his attention was arrested In the horribly mutilated state of the statue. It bed on)y one leg and that was crooked, sod only one arm, and that not the sword arm. He believed that the statue was not sufficiently solid to bear the weight of the globe which formally stood in the square. The statue was erected in the time of George 11., when the department over which he presided had no juris diction over statues. Now, however, it had, sad no statue could be erected without the consent of the Commissioner of Works, and who would impose what conditions he thought beet for the improvement of the beauty of the metropolis. (Hear, hear.) CIRCUITS—INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF JUDGES, &a Mr. HADFIELD asked if anything bad been dorm for the rearrangement of the circuits, for an increase in the number of judges, and for the purpose of holding the assizes M ad ditional towns, and whether any bill would be introduced on the 'abject. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL believed be might say that a bill enabling her Majesty to rearraoge the circuits bad been approved by the Lord Chancellor, nod would be introduced into the other house. There would be no pro posal in it for an increase in the number of the judges. (Hear, hear.) PAY OF THE MILITIA. In answer to Colonel DICKSON. The Marquis of HARTINOTON said that the rate of pay of militi► officers when called out for 21 days was fixed some time ago by the Militia Act, and that the rate of pay when the militia was embodied was precisely the same se the pay of the officers of the regular army, excepting that made to the colonels and the captains, which was an ex tremely trifling difference. - - THE CASE OF MR. EASTWICH AT TEHERAN. Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he would produce a copy of the memorandum communicated by Earl Russell, on the 9th day of July, 1863, to Mr. Eaetwick, lets her Majesty's charge d'affiures at Teheran, sod of Mr. Eastwick's letter to Earl Russell, requesting him to reconsider him decision dismissing Mr. Eastwick the sonic*, for bringtng charges of a gram nature against Mr. Alison, her Majesty's minister at Teheran, which he was not able fully to prove. Mr. LAYARD said that as at preset &dried It would be ♦ery o *alienable to lay the memorandum upon the table. Mr. SkYMOUR—Then. sir, I beg lere to gin noti that I shall brio ` the subject before the hoes: at 01 earliest opportunity. (Cheers.) thousands of their countrymen bad been slaughtered in this contest fighting bravely for a cause which was not their own ; and owing to a want of energy on the part of her Majesty's administration it was add that at the present moment subjects of iln Queen wen being enlisted to con tinue this fratricidal war. (Hear.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer mid at Newcastle main months ago as plainly as Mil could speak that the Southern States had all the qualities of a great nation. The government of America emplaned of that speech as a breach of the laws of neu trality, bat he thought they could have no hositation now in recognising the South as a nation when Mainmast eloquent ' member of the prereneest, making capital tear the govern ment, proclaimed its independence in October last. (Hear.) Mr. NEWDEGATE expressed his thanks to the noble lord at the head of the government for having at once warned the house against the repetition of a course which it was obvious was not only in derogation of the prerogative of the crown, but was calculated to produce the mad anion complications between this and other countries. The order was then discharged. FORTIFICATIONS (PROVISION FOR EXPENSES) (PAYMENT TO THE BANK OF ENGLAND). The House then weal into committee on the Fortifica tions (Provision for Expenses) Bill, and agreed to the se veral clauses, In the course of discussion, Lord PALMERSTON stated that the measure did sot in any way commit the house to the description of central arsenal or depot that might here after be erected, en, after the land had been purchased, each successive step for the constructioo of the arsenal would be brought under the review of parliament. Sir M. PETO moved to omit from the schedule the ful lowieg items :—Spithead, Horse-mod foroool. a Yfi,ooo l . tNo Man's Land, 25,050/. ; and Sturbridge, Z 5, A lengthened debate ensued, in the course of which the proposals of the government bad to undergo renewed cri ticism ; the motion being supported by Siz F. Smith, Mr. Osborne, Sir J. Hay, and Colonel Dickson ; and opposed by the Marquis of Hartingtoo. the Lord Mayor, Sir J. Ferra n'', Mr. Bonham-Carter, Lord Palmerston, and other hoc. members. The committee having divided, the motion was negatived by 135 to 52. The schedule was then agreed to. IThe Union Relief Aid Acta Continuance Bill was read • second time.

Mr. Malin', Q.C., and Mr. Henry Stevens appeared again to-day for the plaintiff in the second of the above-named suits, upon an application in it for an order to secure to the counties the unrestricted right of access to her children, who are now at Turin, and an increase of the allowance ordered by the judge in chambers to be paid to her from 40W. a year to 7001. The arguments in the ease occupied nearly the whole day, and towards the close of them it appeared that there wits a crag motion in the first of the two suits to dismiss the bill in the second ; for an order that the countess should pay the caste of that suit ; and for • reference to chambers, as to the guardianship and main tenance of the infects. As the substantial merits of the whole of the cases were not gone into, we shall embus our statements to so much of them as relates immediately to this day's proceedings. It will of course be remembered that the object of the countess's suit is to obtain • decree continuing to bee the full payment of an annuity of I,ooof. a year which Lord Vernon in 1852 covenanted with certain trustees of • deed of settlement to pay to her during her life; for the maintenance of herself and the children, and the education of the latter. The deed also provided that the children should on Lord Vernoo's death become entitled to • sum of 20,000/. One of the children had been taken suddenly ill, with typhoid fever, and the countess was summoned by telegram to Turin to see her. Having gone there, it appeared by another telegram, received only this morning, that the young lady was better ; but that the countess had not, on applying to see her , been allowed to do so. When leave was originally sought to be obtained for her visiting the children, • telegram was sect over by Lord Vernon's direction to the effect that the countess had left London for Turin ; and that if the medical men thought proper, and the children were willing, she might see them ; but was not to interfere with their care or custody. As the countess had failed is obtaining the aeons to her child, and as she thought that the allowance ordered to be paid to her was not equal to that which she ought to receive under the provisions of the deed, the first motion was made for the above stated purpose. With reference to the second motion, it appeared that before the coun tess's bill was filed, another had been put on the file on behalf of the infant children of the countess, by son of Lord Vernon's u their next friend, and notice , of that bill having been given to the solicitor of the countess, her advisers then mod the bill hi the second suit; although it was said in the argument, that the main object of the two suits, viz., the due administration of the trust of the deed of settlement, for the benefit of the countess and her children, could have been fully realised, if the former one had alone Leen proceeded with ; that under these Cilcumatauom the court would not allow two suits for the same object, but would (inde pendently of other ounsideratious) therefore stop the second one. In the course of the arguments, Mr. Bacon, Q.C., who appeared for Lord Vernon, ' stated that, so far as his lordship was concerned, be desired no privacy. He asserted to it, thinking it would be really lameticial for all parties. He had always paid the annuity regularly, and, indeed, ox. peoded far more than that on the countess aud her children. It was, however, from information which he had recently received that he felt it his duty to direct the trustees to discontinue the payments to the countess. The children bad originally bees four in number ; but one bad died, and the other three, having been left under their mother's care, had fied from her house, and ultimately put themselves, or were put by Lord Vernon's direction., at an esta blishment at Turin, wider the supervision and control of the trustees of the deed. Lord Ver non then having mode further inquiries as to the conduct of the plaintiff, came to the conclusion that if she was really guilty of the things laid to bar charge she was unfit to have the care or custody of her end his children, and he accordingly directed the institution of the first of the above stated suits, in order to make the young ladies wards of this court. His lordship sought nothing but the benefit of his children, and io all other respects to carry out is a proper meaner the provisions of the deed of settlement for them and their mother. The learned counsel added, with reference to Lord Vernou's wboleconduct in the case, that it was perfectly open and straightforward—that what be had done for the countess and their children was done in the strictest observance of the obligations under which be had put himself to them, and io 110 sense whatever with • view to evade one jot or one tittle of the liabilities imposed upon him by the deed of settlement. Any allegations that had been made to the contrary were wholly false, and known to be an. It was due to the motives and character of Lord Vernon that these statements should be publicly made. Mr. George Lake Russell appeared for the trustees of the settlement; and Mr. Greene, Q.C.. for the infants. The case was not concluded when the court rose. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) Mr. Best applied to his lordship to give, the certificate required by the statute to authorise him, is the case of • prisoner whom he eras instructed to prosecute, to prepare other charges against him before the grand jury, Weida the one upon which he was committed by the magistrate. The learned counsel explained that the whole of the facts were brought to the knowledge of the magistrate, but he only committed the prisoner upon one charge. Mi. Justice Crompton refused to accede to the application, and mid it appeared to him most important for the doe administration of justice that where a charge was made against a prisoner the depositions thould be fully taken by the magis trate, as they afforded • great check to the witnesses, and prevented them from garbling their evidence when they were examined at the trial ; sad they were also very impel , tent as far as the prisoner tram cosoneed, who bad • right to know what evidence was to be given airiest him. It was too mach the practice in the country for the magistrates' clerks merely to state upon the depositions what was just sufficient to support the charge that was made ageing the prisoser ; but it appeared to him that this was quite o pp osed to the spirit of the statute relating to the subject, and that it was of the very essence of justice that the depositions should be taken fully, and that they should disclose the whole of the facts &repeated with the charge. With regard to the present application, if the learned counsel considered it advisable to prefer other charges against the prisoner, the proper COWIN wunhi Le to go before a magistrate, and hate the depesitioos formally taken sod returned to this court. Janes Webb, 31, a tall, respectable-looking twin, sre g charged with the wilful murder of his wife, Hannah Webb. By the coronet ' s inquisition the prisoner was charged with the offence of manslaughter only. Mr. Sleigh cos. ducted the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Me tca lfe. This ewe was postponed from the Jun. unions. It ap. peered that the prisoner carried on the occupation of a cowkeepec at Horton, sod that he rod the deceased were married about five years ego, but they seemed to have lived very unhappily together, and that they were both in the habit of getting the worse for liquor, and frequently quarrelled. The offence imputed to the prisoner war alleged to have been committed on the 26th May lot, and it appeared that on tbi evening of that day, the pen.- ner, who was undoubtedly in a partial state of intoxication, and the deceased, who it was suggested was in the suns state, were at home, and they were baud to quarrel, and the prisoner made use of violent and threatening C h anguag e to the deceased, and he was heard to say that would strangle her, or some expression to that effect. After this the prisoner was seen to dreg the deceased out of the shop, down some steps into a shed, and there was the sowed of a violentstruzgle between them,and afterthathe deemed appeared to be very much injured, and she died on the fol. lowing morning, the cause of this event being, according to the medical testimony, Miura* that she bad received upon the head and other parts of the body. What actually took place between the priamer nod the deculnield on the night in question mimed to be involved in • toed deal of obecurit , but there appeared to be no doubt that the deosssed entertained a feeling of jealousy, sod that this was the foundation of the quarrel that took place between her sod the prisoner on this unfortuoate cousin. lt transpired during the inquiry that the deemed was drunk for two or three days previous to the 26th of May, and that she was in the habit of sending boy., who came to her husbaod's shop for milk, to fetch spirits for her, and that she sometimes got so drunk that she went into the bed of one of the servants to sleep instead of going to ber own bed room, and that it was frequently necessary to carry her up to bed in cense. queues of her druoken conditiou. It wam also proved that upon ens occasioo aloe had fallen down drunk behind the counter of the shop, which was robbed while she was in that condition ; and that upon another occasion she had fallos into the fireplace, and would in all probability have Leer I burned to death if she had not been dragged out by • man para.:4l).oBy, who was in the service of the prisoner. The immediate cause of death, it appeared, was extruasatiou of Weed upon the lungs, which, according to the evidence of Mr. Simpson, the surgeon, might have been oorasioued either by a blow, or a fall, or any other external violence. The learned judge barring summed up, the jury after • moment's deliberation returned • verdict of Not Guilty. Jaws Mills, 19, clerk, and Geo. Ducal Smith, 19, hatcher, were indicted with feloniously marlin • threaten. leg letter to Earl Spencer, with intent to extort 51. Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Orridge was instructed for Smith ; and Mr. Poland for the prisons Mills. The prisoner Mills pleaded guilty ; mad Smith, who em. rendered in answer to his bail pleaded not Mr. Sleigh, on the part of 'the prosecution, said he had had a oommunicatioa from Mr. Orridge, arid coupling that with the evidence as it appeared on the face of the depo sitions, he thought he would not be justified in putting the cans before the jury, inasmuch as there was such inadequate evidence as would be adduced. He was informed that the prisoner Smith was totally e ignorant of the contents of the letter which was sent by the other to Earl Spencer, and from which he could gather he had only been a short time in London, and had made the casual acquaintance of Mills. Earl Spooner concurred with him that the mule of justioe would be met by the other prisoner having pleaded guilty. He bad takes the preentproceedinp solely on public grounds, conceiving it to be his duty to do so. No evidence having been offered against Smith, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Than was a second indicur ent against Smith, charging him with conspiring with the other prisoner to extort gamey, dm. No evidence, however, sou offered spinet him in this case, sad a verdict of Not Outity was returned. Mr. Poland, who appeared for Mills, said that he was bound to state publicly that there was nut one word of truth in the letter alluded to, and in feet the prisoner had never seen the earl until he had instituted the present proceedings. The learned judge then proceeded to pass sentence apes Mills, and said, though so young, he had pleaded guilty to one of the most vile cud serious crimes one moo could , guilty of toward' another. An attack upon a man's perms was nothing to such an attack upon his character, an attack to which too many were apt to yield, and it was rot dim that any one wise man enough to fight it out and take the proper course, as had been does in the peewit cue. The learned judge then raid a portion of the letter, which ces. eluded with a threat that union the earl sent him 51., he would write and expose him to all his friends. His lordship said that it was • crime which, when brought home to any one, was dealt with with the utmost severity, as it vie the most fearful mode of robbery that could be imagined. He then sentenced the prisoner to twenty years' peed servitude. THE POLICE COURTS. WESIIIINSTEFt. A table-looking working man from the Sister Isle solicited the magistrate's assistance coder the following cc. cumstanees. Applicant said that he wished to procure tits release of a female child from a convent, where she ass st present detained, and had thought it best to see • magistrate on the subject. Mr. SeUe—Whereabouts is the place at which you say Abe is detained? Applicant—ln Bloomsbury. 1&. Selfe—ls it one of the Reformatory and Industrial Schools for Females! Applicant—Yes, your worship. Selfe—l have no power to interfere. A magistrate has no control in such matters. Persons are sent to these institutions in the ordinary way, and awe have to remain for the appointed time. Applicast—But may not they be taken out if they are ill! Mr. Selle—That is a matter for the outside:stem of the Secretary of State, to whom alone you can apply for any remission of the original order. Applicant—The little girl is my child, and I very much wish to get her out. At the time she wu got in there I had no power to assist her ; but things are alkred now, and I wish to take her out. _ _ Mr. Selfis—Why? App.licaot—She is labouring under eery bad health., end I don't ass if I am able to take can of her sod maintain bar why she should be kept there a prisoner, and I wish to hays her. Mr. Selle—l must refer you to the Secretary of_State, who slate can order the liberation of the girl. NORTH AMERICA (CONFEDERATE STATES). — Mil. ROEBUCK'S DEBATE. Mr. ROEBUCK—Sir, I rise for the purpose of moving that this order be read with the view of its being discharged. (Hear, bear.) Sir, I hikinglit forward this motion under • feeling that I was abaft to ask the house to take a std which I hoped would put an end to the terrible carnage now going on in North America, and also thinking it would be of infinite service to the commercial interests of Great Britain. Fee so doing I have been subjected to much ob loquy. That obloquy his come from a very noisy, if not • very wise party. (Laughter.) I mast say my present de termination has not been influenced thereby. (Heir, hear)) The noble lord at the head of the government his said he considered that the continuance of this debate was an impediment in Warty for the good government of the country, and its interests. (Hear, hear.) 1 have paid that respect to the noble lord's wishes and feelings, and I be lieve I have induced my bon. friend toforego his feelings in this matter. When the noble lord sat down on Friday lest my hon. friend and myself felt perfectly satisfied— or very nearly satisfied—and if nothing more had beet said there the matter would have ended. But official arro gance is a plant of particularly rapid growth— (langbter)— aid the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs thought fit to bring charges against my hon. friend which be thought his honour and his feelings called upon him to answer. But a little 000 l reflection has taught him that insinuations such as these, coming from quarters such as these—(oh, oh)—were not to be regarded by him. (Oh, oh.) He thought the considerations placed before him by the noble lord were so grave that he ought to forego any feeling on his part of wounded pride, and that be should o nl y seek the interests of his country u pointed out by the noble lord. Now, since the matter is about to per from my control , there is one observation which I will make to the noble lord, who has at this moment • great responsibility upon his shoulders. (Hear ' hear.) It has been stated that the time is not yet come for the conside ration of this question, sad I have yielded to that sugges tion. But, sir, let the noble lord bear in mind that there are two dengue before him which he will have to meet, and which England will have to meet. One is the possibility of the reconstruction of the Union upon a Southern bags, and the other is the acknowledgment by the Emperor of the French of the Southern Confederacy alone. These are the two great dangers for England. (" No, no," and "Hens, bear.") Tee noble lord will, I have no doubt, with his long experience, fully justify the confidence of the poop , e in him upon these two great question*. I leave them without hesitation in his hands, though I ' must say my own feelings are against the withdrawal of them from consideratioa at this time. England and Eng land's interests, I say. demand the decision of this house, and it is only under a fading of great respect to the noble lord that I now move to withdraw this motion. (Hear.) Mr. LINDSAY narrated the circumstances that led to the late interview of himself and Mr. Roebuck with the Emperor of the French, and the conversation which ensued at the audience with his Majesty, and which in sub stance were almost precisely the same as had boon detailed by the hon. member for Sheffield on • former night. He believed that all the Emperor meant was that if it was the pleasure of the house to ask her Majesty to address him on the subject of the recognition of the Southern States he would be only too happy to enter into negotiations with that object in view being of opinion that if the greet powers of Europe th ought it ad visable to recognise the South, the moral effect would be to stay the frightful carnage in the States. Replying to the attack of Mr. Layard on Friday night, and to the Mainers. tion that he, Mr. Lindsay, was an amateur diplomatist and meddling busybody, the hoe. member said that, for the last three years he had been in communication with the French government on the subject of the maritime relations between the two countries, sod that with the knowledge and unction of the English ministers. It was they who, in fact, had sent him to Paris, and desired him to do the work which they themselves ought to have done and with the knowledge and approval of the Emperor be had invariably reported to the English ambassador at Paris every word that his Majesty had said to him. He hoped her Majesty's government would not press him to say more. Viscount PALMERSTON—I think that my bon. and learned friend has acted rightly in the motion he his made to discharge the order, because, for reasons which I stated on a former occasion, no good could arise from resuming the lapsed discussion. I cannot, however, refrain from ex priming my regret that he and the hon. member for Sun derland should have mixed up with that motion an attack upon my hon. friend the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. My honourable friend bad merely acted in the spirit of what he conceived to be his official duty in what he said in replying to the hoc. member for Sunderland on Friday night. I hope, however, that this is the hut time in which any member of the house will think it his duty to communicate to the British House of Commons that which may have pealed between himself and the sovereign of a foreign country. (Hear, hear.) Ido not mean to impute the slightest blame to my two honourable friends who, I believe, acted with the best intentions., but at the same titnel wish to impress upon them that the proceeding they adopted was most irregular. The British parliament has to receive messages and commimioationa from the sovereign of the United Kingdom, but we have DO relations, communication, nor intercourse, nor any official knowledge of the sovereign of a foreign country, and it is not our function to receive communications from a foreign sovereign unless they are made by the respon sible minister of the crown in consequence of official com munications from that foreign sovereign. If the Emperor of the French and the Weep of England have any oommuni cation to make to each other, they have their ambassadors respectively in Paris and London, and these latter are the proper organs of such communication, not the legislators of either country. If either the Emperor of the French or the Queen of England wished otherwise to publish their lutes twee they have their ministers in their respective parliamente. If the French parliament be not sitting the Emperor has his official organ, the Moniker, for denial or assertion, and although we have not is this country a corresponding official organ every one knows that there are means of making known anything of importance during the recess. Nothing, there fore, min be more irregular than proceedings of this sort, even setting aside the constitutional objection which I hold to be • grave one. When ear ambasudor at Paris or a minister here makes & communication, he makes it as • re sponsible individual who is bound to state what is correct, but we cannot have that security in the ease of a private individual, and therefore I wish to place on record our opinion that this proceeding is entirely irregular and ought by no means to be drawn into a prece dent. I do not find the least fault with the hon. member for Sunderland or the boo. and learned member for Sheffield for communicating with the Emperor of the French, but the course which they should have taken was that which the hon. member for Suoderland had taken on a previous occasion, namely, communicate the result to bred Cowley. The hon. member for Sunderland bad truly stated that he had been in commuuiratioe with the Em peror of the French during the last three years respecting matters connected with commerce and navigation. My hon. friend implied that he was employed by the British government, but that is notexectly the fact. The boo. member told us that he was going to Parisi, and that front bin knowledge of commerce and navigatioo, he might be able to convey information to the Emperor which would be useful to his Majesty in framing his maritime code. I said that my noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affair' would les very glad of the hon. member's assistance, and letters of introduction were consequently given to him to Lori Cow ley. So far what wu dime was perfectly regular, well considered, and wisely intended, but then my boa. friend went on to say that having returned to thin country, he offered to communicate to my noble friend and myself the results of his labours, and some other communi cations he bad received from the Emperor. I wrote to him from the country stating that if, in consequence of the re presentations and information given by my hen. friend, the Emperor of the French bad bad any proposal to make to the British government, that proposal ought to come though a responsible chaonel, as it is not the practice of the British government to carry on what be might all • double diplomacy. We had an official rapreseid&tive in Perim, and 1 thought it highly objectionable that we should have also • private one. That was what I stated, and my noble friend and myself thought it better that we should not receive any communication from my boo. friend as coming from the Freoch Emperor. This determination was come to in no disparagement of my hon. friend's tier. Coos in Paris. It was simply that we thought it highly objectionable to employ an individual in such matters in stead of the regular channel. My hon. friend has referred to the mission of the hon. member for Rochdale, but that was a totally different matter. He was employed to nego tiate, in concert with our ambassador, and although ha was too high-minded to receive any salary, be was a regular diplomatic agent, employed for a specific purpose. The bon. member for Sunderland, on the other band, was merely a private gentleman going over to give information which he possessed in an eminent de gree, and therefore my noble friend and myself thought it not desirable that we should receive communications through my hon. friend. I should hope that this dimension will end here, and I trust that we shall not have any further discussion of • similar nature. My hon. friend the member for Sunderlaod observed that if he were the busybody he was called he would find "sot at home" written on the gates of the Tuileries. Well, I think that discussions like them are not very encouraging to the Emperor to open the doors to English members of parlismeet. The O'IMOCHUE had one observation to make on the discussion which had just taken plane. Before the motion was withdrawn he wished to enter his protest against the spirit of hostility to Aroerioa in which the motion of the hon. and learned member for Sheffield was conceived, in order to free himself from the possibility of an imputation of sharing in the smallest degree those vindictive feelings which had taken possession of the boo. and learned member's mind. (Hear, hear.) His ours feeling, towards America, North and South, were helium of Ike most unbounded gratitude and the warmest affection, and he ventured to state, on the part of the majority of his onsintrt men, that they entertained similar feelings. (" No, no." and " Hear, hear.") Mr. WHITESIDE considered that there was no country in Europe which required the discussion of this question more than Ireland, ler then it would be showa thee MA RS ETS.
