Ad verting to other topics tanatingly Washed on by Lord DEIBY, Lord CLMUIDON stated his readiness to lay upon the table papers relative to the fall of Hare; and begged for a suanci: e n se o s t s judgment until their lordships should be in ion of the whole cir cumstances of the case. He volunteered the , nouncement that he had himself been named as Pleti. potentiary from England to the Paris Conferences, and that he undertook the task with many mis givings as to its result. Of the sincerity of the Cues intentions be declared that he had serious ' doubts: of the sincerity of the Allies in agreeing to Austria's suggestions, he protested that there was ground for none. Both Governments wore cordially desirous of peace. if it could be lately and honour ably obtained ; bat they were equally resolved to commence hostilities with preparations unexampled in magnitude and extent, the day after peace was found to be unattainable by negotiation. AT a moment when the great issue of Pesos or War is intensely occupying the whole mind of Europe, it is natural that the eyes of men should turn with lively attention to the proceedings of the Bailie& House of Commons on the first occasion of its re-assembling sines that issue has assumed its present shape. It cannot with troth be said that what took place last night in that august assembly was of a nature to gratify any very high-raised ex pectations. The Roue of Commons, in fast, like the nation at large, is just now in a state of suspense. Upon the only subject on which men at the present moment much. are to speak, it his no sufficient materials for forming • satisfac- tory opinion, and it wisely prefers silence to solecisms, and an absence of comment to an indulgence in platitudes. Everyone out of the House has said already, what there is therefore no great occasion for anyone in the House to say again, that England is ready to accept a safe and honourable peace, bat that till such peace is finally ratified and concluded the true attitude of this country is one of hostile preparation, 'ordering activity, and armed mistrust. Sash appeared last night to be the para mount feeling of the House. Mr. Berns, the seconder of the address, who in fused into his task somewhat more of vigour and in dependent), than is generally looked for on such occasions, was cheered when he gave expression to the sentiment that we must have no repetition on the present occasion of the sham negotiations of Vienna, bat insist on knowing as soon as possible whether pesos or war is to be the destiny of the world : he was still more cheered when he declared that there must be no remission in our preparations for war, and that the only way to treat with Russia was to treat with our hands on oar swords. Mr. DISRAELI disclaimed alike all intention of attempting to criticise conditions of peace of which he had as yet no accurate knowledge, and of im pugning the conduit of Government in not having imparted mere detailed information to the House. Recommending to his followers the exercise of • "prudent but high.spirited reserve," he counselled them to watch with the utmost vigilance the progress of the negotiations. He expressed a firm, but by no means a very sanguine eon- Aden°, in the prospects of pea«, and de nounced the notion fostered "by journalists who have become statesmen, or statesmen who have be come journalists," that England, though she may have gained the substantial objects of the war, is yet to go on fighting till she has added another victory to the bloody list of the decisive battles of the world. With a few general references to the glory of our arms, and a paving allusion to the " mysterious catastrophe of Rare," the necessity of inquiring into which was assented to by general expressions of adhesion from all parts of the House, the eloquent Leader of her Muurr's Opposition sat down after having delivered what Sir Da LACY EvAns truly enough characterised as a Ministerial speech. Lord PALMERSTON, under these circumstances, had little to do except to let well alone, and that he sue waded in uccmplishing. With regard to the F•mo•e of an intended adjournment if Parliament until the pew negotiations should be terminated, he declared emphatically that such a conception had never crowed his mind. The presence of Parliament was an aid sod not an embarrassment. While Ministers admitted, and intended to art upon, the duty of them selves conducting the negotiations, all information which it was consistent with State exigencies to give, should freely be imparted to the Rouse during their progress. Lord PALMERSTON then proceeded in a tone of dignified and manly firmness to point out that this country was never better prepared for war than at the present moment, that oar strength was daily increasing ; while that of Russia was daily diminish ing, that if another campaign were forced on as, its remelts would no doubt enable us to demand condi tions more brilliant than those that might now be offered; but that at the NUBS Brae if those now offered should turn out to be satisfactory, we should not be justified in rejecting them, with a view to the ultimate chancre of a more splendid and decisive success. This speech, the general tone and manner of which was at once cautious and resolute, and which was unquestionably well received by the House, called up Mr. ROEBUCK, who proceeded to deliver himself of a war oration, Desinosthenic no doubt in intent, but, as it struck us, rather infelicitous in execution. Mr. Ronuret, indeed, stumbled at the threshold. In order to warn his beaten against the danger of concluding an unworthy peace, he announced his intention of answering the oft-asked emotion, why did we go to war. To this self-addressed query he gave, in the compass of about as many sentences, no Iris than three distinct replies. We entered into this war, first, for the general interests of hu manity; secondly, to check the aggrandisement of Russia; thirdly and mainly, as all the world, ao- cording to Mr. ROEBUCK, was well aware, out of fear for our possessions in lodic. The same vague ness pervaded the whole of his speech. The Howie was in no temper to be led away by arguments for parrying oa the war, founded on the assumed neces sity of retrieving the honour of oar arms alleged to be tarnished by two fruitless expeditions into the Baltic, by the failure at the Ratan, and by the capture of Hare. The House hardly appeared to entertain the same view as the honourable end learned member of the military and naval disgrace connected with I thee' events, nor were they much moved by his exhortations that, is order to retrieve our Int honour, we should carry on the war single-handed, notwithstanding the possible defection of our great ally. Oo the whole, as we said at the outset, the temper of the House, as far as can be judged from the pro- ceedings of last night, represents pretty fairly the temper of the nation. We are not going for any mere purposes of ambition or vengeance needlessly to protract a contest which there is good hope of termi nating with enerity and honour : on the other hand, we see equally determined not to drop oar arms from our hands one moment before the further employment of them would be a crime against the tins interests of the world, and the wise dictates of an elevated morality. We relax not a , we keep every limb in its fullest tension—at the first suspicion of any double dealing or evasion in those who profess to wish for Peace, we give sternly and instantly the watchword, War. But we are not to be persuaded into the grave immorality of shed , ding blood without purpose and without stint, by any echoolboy declamation about the necessity of retrieving a national honour that bu never really been tarnished, and a military character that is still, u it ever was, " without fear and without reproach." OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, JAN. 19. There is little to record during the past week bat the various rumours with which the camps have been agitated respecting the chances of a cessation of hostilities, and the plane of the future campaign in case the negotiations for peace should be unsuccessful. These rumours are so contradictory that they are scarcely worth repeating; more especially as on these subjects we, at the seat of war, are generally less fully informed than the press at home. In the mean. time, preparations are being made to meet all contin. gencies. The leisure and opportunity which were wholly wanting last winter, on account of the an ' ceasing duties in the trenches &pi sickly condition of , 1 the troops, are now being converted to the best uses f or I fitting the army for active operations in the next campaign. The younger soldiers are actively trained, and their older associates, by frequent parades and inspections, kept in the moat efficient condition. The regiments are frequently drilled, and march out at ' regular intervals, by brigades; so that not only the men themselves are exercised, bat the generals and staff are practised also in the handling of bodies of troops and their various duties. It is impossible to observe the men on the march, and not view with pleasure their elastic tread, vigorous frames, and the general appearance of health which characterises them. It may also be noticed how frequently in General Orders occur the appointments of instructors of musketry. The fact is that the whole army is going through a regular course of target practice. Detachments from every regiment are daily engaged in this exer cise. The new system of instruction in the use of the rifled musket, as taught at the Government School of Musketry at Hy the, is strictly carried out, and thus, before the winter terminates, the men of the whole army will be fully trained in one uniform method of using their firearms. Many causes con curred to prevent this obviously desirable result from being carried oat before, and many were the evils which were experienced in consequence during the past campaign and siege operations. Each brigade has now one, and some brigades two, qualified instructors of musketry, under whom numerous regimental officers teed non-commissioned officers, who have been qualified , by previous training in England, give the necessary instructions to the men. Colonel Clarke Kennedy, who formerly held an appointment at the school at Hythe, and who now occupies a situation on the Adjutant-General's Department of this army, superintends the whole. Orders have been given, and measures are being taken, to ensure that every officer and department are complete in the necessary equipment for the field. The Land Transport Corps is reported to be fast regaining its efficiency, under the active sur veillance of Colonel Wetherell, who is acting es Director. General in the absence of Colonel M'Murdo. Thus the prospects of the British forces, so tar as the army in the Crimea is concerned, ' being found in an effective condition at the ensuing spring, are now on all aides exceedingly favourable. An unfortunate accident occurred on the 15th inst. Lieutenant J. Homdon Messenger, el the 46th Regt., was engaged with a few men in blasting some rock near the main military road, not far from the iron huts. He had been some time employed i.e an acting engineer, and wu then sup-rinteuding the repair of a portion of the road. The usual method for obtain ing the fragments of atone—" metal," as it is techni cally called—for filling up the depressions caused by the rain and constant traffic, is by blasting the lime stone which is found everywhere at a moderate depth below the superficial soil of the plateau. This is accomplished, even in the midst of the camps, without any danger, underordinary circumstances, by placing sandbags, or portions of the old Russian rope want lets, over the stone to be detached by the explo sion. In the present instance the explosion of the charge did not take place so speedily as was anti cipated, and Lieutenant Messenger at once went forward to examine the cause. A noncommissioned officer who was present warned him against ap proaching the blast so quickly. He thought, as no doubt was the case, that the lighted alow•mAtch might be burning more slowly than usual on account of damp or some other accidental cause. Mr. Messenger had just stooped to see if the slow-match were still ignited when the explosion took place, and some of the detached fragments of rock were projected with fall force against the unfortunate officer. He received some dresdtnl injuries abort the head, which proved immediately fatal. The non commissioned officer, who was mending near, was severely scorched and bruised ; he was removed to the neighbouring hospital of the 531 h Regiment, in the 2nd Division. Since the lastrmail left, the weather has been very variable, but without any remarkable extremes of temperature. The roads are maintained in an efficient state by constant repairs. No change has taken place as regards the fire from the north heights, nor, as far as observation can detect, in the disposition of the enemy on the Mackenzie platten. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JAx. 19. On Wednesday an armistice wee declared till boar o'clock in the afternoon, up to which time the Rus sians and the French amused themselves by walking about in the Tammy& Talley in front of the outpost.. They were so near together that they could distinctly see each other's countenances. Since the last mail left the English engineers have blown up the entrance gate to the east dock, and to day there will, in all probability, be another small explosion ; but, at the prevent rate of proceeding, the whole of the English half-portion of the docks will not be destroyed till the middle of next mouth. Le Nord is reprinting the Holly Tree lan," the Chrifemu number of the Household Words. It will give some idea of the hopeless absence of knowledge ow the part of the foreign j , arnals in all that concerns the character and position of the British press, if we sate the fact that Le Nord of yesterday, referring to an alleged change in the tone of the English newsmen, while treetiag of the war, alleges that " Lords Palmerston and Clarendon have presided over a meeting of the prop ' f the rrinci-al English journals, and explained to them the trait situation and the necessity of modifying their language upon peace, in order not to eompromise the alliance with France. The English correspondents at Paris (continues Le Nord) bare received a similar order, and obey it with remarkable seal and do cility." . .

Tis Day-1410010* I. 0111.........A11001100% B. 10*. 104*.asow—liershis. M. Mm. Altiirsoca.les., my, LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1. Ms debate on the Address last night, in the House of Lords, however short it may have fallen of certain expectations formed regarding it, will hardly be deemed destitute of public interest, or unworthy of grave regard. Like the document which served u its text, it may be said to derive its importance chiefly from its negative characteristics, and from the acquiescence shown in the more than ordinary num on questions of the deepest concern to the country at large. We would not be understood as endorsing this unlimited draft on public confidence in favour of the Ministers of the Crown ; or assenting unconditionally to the constitutional doctrine laid down broadly by Lord DIZZY. that in all oases where negotiations with foreign powers are pending it is the duty of Parliament to observe an Imperturbable silence on the terms to be demanded or refused, and only to pronounce an opini n when the issue is decided, as he himself phrased it, "irre versibly." We own that we have not so learned the principles of the constitution ; and upon fitting op portunity we have the courtier doctrine of the noble spokesman of the Peers. Bat our present business is rather to point out that on a point so momentous to the well-working of free institutions, Lord DENBY was the recognised spokesman of his order. From all sides he was greeted with cheers whenever he reiterated his disclaimer of any inten tion, of disclosing what sort of pesos this country would or ought to be satisfied with, as carrying into effect the purpose for which it gave the Government credit in framing preliminaries now agreed to. The dexterous leader of opposition took infinite credit to himself and his party for such forbearance; although, as he alleged, it was only the fulfilment of • palpable duty. To us it seems that the credit claimed ought to be awarded with caution. Sheer selfishness may induce • party at a critical juncture to make a com pliment of their silence to their rivals for power, reserviog to themselves the unlettered right to find fault, by-and-bye, with whatever may be done or left undone. Ministers, however, were in no critical mood, and accepted " the Grecian f ;" but the nation will, we trust. keep in memory these tiling*, and ponder them deliberately in its heart. There is little in the 'pooches of the mover and seconder of the Address to all for any comment or remark. Lord 00•701 D I. a man of books, cautious by temperament and fastidious by habit and educa tion. He spoke like on. who felt how little good soy thing he could nay could do his official irked., and bow easily an unconscious lapse into hearty vigour of speech might embarrass them; so he shrewdly resolved to say as nearly nothing as was possible, in the eoncteest terms—leaving to his colleague in court suit the monopoly of platitudes, loose talk, and random phrases about the future. To do Lord ABINGDON Patios, he seems to have been well enough inclined to avail himself of the tempting opportunity. lie never got half-an-hour's &voodoo from his peers before, and he was doubtless conscious that he was never very likely to get as much again. He disported himself with considerable self satisfaction; bat upon the whole, let it be said, harm lessly, and in that unrememberable manner which COLIAIDGE used to call the tin-imaginative play of a dull child. Not so Lord Deur. Never was the caustic and cavilling tongue of that great muter of debate more keen for mischief. Paragraph by paragraph he tree to shreds the rather slovenly worded Speech from the Throne, holding up each curious fragment to specific ridicule for baldness, bareness, and miachoice of terms. Oddly enough, before he had done, the Weill. critic himself fell into a blander of expression, which, at the moment, eases to have escaped the notice of his hearers. Talking of the evils of a war with America, Lord Darin declared that foe the two nations it would be • war " snausially asieidai." Had any Irish Whig stumbled into mush a solecism as this, in what a pitiless shower of jokes and jibes he would have been swept away. In Lord DILIMY'II professed earnestness of depreca tion of any Misunderstanding with the United States we need not say that we entirely mom. We only wish we had mese better reason for believing in the depth and sincerity of his professions. We cannot forget, however, that during his own brief administratioe the two Governments serially drifted nearer to a 00l- lisioa than at any period within our recollection, and that it was only by the sudden shout of popular remonstranos the Tory captain and his crew were awakened to a sense of their and oar danger, jest is time to put the helm about, and avert the impending catastrophe. And now, when things look yam pitious, and Ministers feel the difficulties of their misfortunate position with the Cabinet of Washing ton to be considerable, Lord DERBY, for the sake of a passing taunt in debate, asks why the subject was not introduced in the Queues Speech, and hopes oar overnensitive kinsmen beyond the Atlantic will not feel ►urt at the contemptuous neglect with which the Enlistment end Nicaraguan question have thee been treated by our Sovereign. Fee our parts, we devoutly hope and believe that no man in America will be found so weak as to give heed to this wanton, we bed almost said wicked, perversion of facts and motives. The coneepoodeaos between the two Governments, as Lord CLARBNDON explained, has not yet been brought to any definite point of issue. As regards the interpreted= of the Clajton-Balwer treaty, it was stated by the Foariote Sacalmax that we have proposed to submit the question to arbitration; that there has not yet been time to receive any reply to the proposal; that as respects the participation of oar diplomatic and consular agents in the ill-advised proceedings connected with enlistment of soldiers within the States, an apology had been offered and the proceedings wholly discontinued before any feel ing of anger had been manifested by the Aunties§ Government; and that the controversy now relates altogether to by-gone transaction, and involves no question of persons or property seregards the present or the future. Lord Ct.ASZNDON added that he felt there fore justified in looking forward with confidence to the speedy settlement of the dispute through the ordinary chancels of oommenieatioa; and we do Dot see what waist esd sushi have been staved by alluding in emu wad evasive generalities to the oorrtepoadeoes VW Court.
