THE POLISH DEBATE. Earl it UsSELL said—My noble friend (Earl Grey), whom I do not now sae io his place, asked me the other day whe ther Monday out would be a convenient day for discussing the affairs of Poland, and in reply I asked him to be good enough to put off tie motion for three or four clays. To day, however, her Majesty's government have received a telegraphic despatch, acquainting them that the limosian answer will not be sent off till the 14th or 15th, and there fore will not probably be in their hands until the follow ing week. That will be too long to uk my noble friend to postpoue the discuAsion, and therefore I with to state that there will be no objection to his proceeding on Monday neat In the meantime I propose to lay upon the table a copy of the despatch containing the in points which were laid before the Russian government. AFFAIRS OF JAPAN. The Earl of OARNARVOIIresetO move for copies of any instructions given by her Majesty's government to her Majesty's diplomatic servants is Japan or to the officers in command of her Majesty's land or naval forces, to make de mands u po n the government of Japan, with the alternative of imme dia te hostilities on the rejection of such demands. The noble earl said that above • fortnight ago the Eastern mail brought intelligence that instructions had been sent to oar minister in Japan to offer certain terms for the accept ance of the Tycoon, accompanied by the threat of immediate hostilities unless those terms were complied with. What those terms were, under what circuanatanoss they ware insisted on. and what were the intentions of her Majesty's govern ment, he hoped the bane would that day learn ; for • we: with Japan was a very serious and alarming contingency. It was quite true that within the last day or two there had prevailed rumours of the probability of • more satisfactory solution of the difficulties ; but, in the meantime, the house was without information. He was anxious that her Ma jesty's government should state what was the meaning of this quarrel, and what were the circumstances under which it had ariseo. If her Majesty's government went to wee, they mud either support the Tycoon to the utmost of their power, and by enabling him to triumph over his great feudatories so obtain their ends, or else they must declare a war of extermination against the Mimic.' themselves. For that purpose they ' must either treader a very large force to Japan from China, India, and the Cape, or else they must have re mune to a combined expedition with other powers. For his own part, he (the noble earl) objected to these combined military expeditious. (Loud cheese) They committed us to sole which ware not understood is this country, sod which were unsuited to our genius ; and no far from fostering any really cordial feeling between the officers and troops employed in them, they led, he we firmly convinced, to nothing bat jealousies, suspicions. and irrita the. (Hear.) If, on the other band, we undertook the operations alone, it was for the boom to say whether it wee worth while to incur • east of five, dx, seven, eight, or aims millions sterling for the sake of &trade of leas than 14,000 t a year. Besides, we could not disguise from ourselves that the objects of other powers—of Rune, Frame, and Are. rica—were each different front ours ; end our undertaking hoetilities could hardly help involving us in complications with them. Bat there was • result of the war which he confessed be contemplated with even more apprehension than the war itself. We most conquer, and with new on quests would come new annexations of, territwy—a thing against which the history of our connexion with India ought to be a sufficient warning. Lad year her Majesty's ministers had positively undertaken to be trustees for the goyim meat of three hundred millions of people. Her Majesty's government could not plead surprise, for during the whelks of ISeil they professed the strictest neutrality, and then came out the orders in council, in which officers in both services were encouraged, invited, end stimulated to take service under the Emperor of China, and to resist him in the reconstruction of his army and navy. (Hear, bear.) If it was necessary to inflict punishment on the Japanese for the recent outrages which had been committed on her Majesty's subjects, let such retribution be exacted as was in accordenoe with the de mands of justice and of our national honour. Trade might be a good thing, the acquisition of new markets very desirable, but it was • very bad commercial bargain indeed to obtain • few thousand pounds worth of goods at the toot of six, eight, or nine millions of money far an eastern war. He would conclude by repeating the words of the noble earl co another occasion, that all these thin were great and undeniable advantages if they could be ob tained by useful mains, but their whole veins wee neutral hied when they were extorted by force of arms. (Hear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL vindicated the policy pursued by her Majeoty's government in Japan, and said that on the faith of treaties consuls had been appointed and merchants bad settled in that country, end when he came into office he felt it to be his duty to see that the treaty obligations were carried out. The British legation was attacked soon after its establishment. Sir Rutherford Alcoek himself barely seeped with his life, and Mr. Oliphant was wounde d. British subjects bad been repeatedly attacked and some had been murdered. He considered it, therefore, to be the duty of government to take up these matters, more especially as they had resulted from • premeditated de termination to defeat the treaty, and to de and redrew, the punishment of offenders, and some security for the future. It was just possible that these demands might he refused ; and in that contingency it was requisite to have a force to support them. He could not give the paean asked for by the noble earl, for he hoped by the next mail to bear that our demands had been amented to. The weaknem of the Tycoon's authority was well known, but his govern ment was the only on. we could deal with. It was that with which we had concluded the treaty ; and by all law and custom it must be held responsible. Having entered upon a particular line of policy, and made treaties with Japan, we must either follow it up or conies' our policy • mistake, resign all prospects of trading with a country so rich and fruitful, and withdraw oar merchants from its territory. Earl GREY said he owned he heard with astonish ment the declaration of the noble earl that be looked with satisfaction on the present state of things in China. It was true that the Chimes government was in • state of humiliation and abject dependence, and that the English government was taking means to bring China under the government of Englishmen. (Hear, hear.) The English government had brought the Chinese customs eutirely under the control ef Exglishmen, with the great probability of • collision with other countries, and they were also going to organise the navy of China with Englishmen, and he believed also the army —steps all tending to the disorganiaation of • great empire. Whole regions had been depopulated by the Taepiop arid other insurgents, and the state of things was proceediog from lend to worse, How his noble friend could find in the state of things in China a source of satisfaction was a matter to him (Earl Grey) of utter astonishment. Well, her Majesty's government were taking the first steps towards bringing about similar revolts in Japan. Be (Earl Grey) bad foretold these coinemences in China; he BOW only hoped we were not about to drift into • war with Japan. He might be told that he ought to have stated some view as to what should be our policy in Japan. He had no hesitation in stating what he thought ought to be our line of policy. It was very simple—it was merely to act towards Japan with ordinary justice. (Cheers from the government benches.) We had no right to demand reparation from the Japanese without Mudding them reparation for wrongs done to themselves. We bed urged upou the Japa nese minutes • clause providing immunity to British rule jerk from Japanese law • stipulation which we dared not carry out with regard to s, any foreign nation. Let such • law exist in this capital, and London would not be safe from plunder for 24 hours. Let us tell the Japanese that we were prepared to rescind the dense whereby the Eti7,lish residents were not to be subject to Japanese authority, and we need not necessarily abandon all security for British subjects. We might expect to obtain securities for the due adminietration of the law in respect to our own people by calling upon the Japanese to establish a system of police, dressing their authority from the Japanese government, bat charged with the duty of protecting and controlling British subjects. Of course there must be a tribunal in which European judges must be included—(hear, beer)— but by these simple precautions he believed that the feelings of the people might be protected from outrage, and the lives and property of Europeans from destruction. Toe Duke of SOMF.R.SET expressed his belief that we had not committed an act of war, or done soythiog which, accordieg to the principles of justice, we ought not to bare done. Lord WODEHOUSE said that two years ago the noble earl (Grey) had delivered a speech full of the moat dismal forebodinge on the subject of China. But his noble friend did not on that occasion, as be bad on the present. pro pose a remedy. That he thought was the weak point of the noble earl's speech. The fact was, that here they had a weak and rich nation scattered over • large territory —(bear, hear)—with whom the European radius and America were determined to trade. (Hear, hear.) We did not take measures to send our merchants there, but our merchants went. (Hear, hear.) If oar merchants were not to go, some leas scrupulous nations would trade with the country, and, turban., exclude us from a lucrative source of profit. We must follow our traders—(hear)— and extend to them protection end the admintstratioe of justice as fuss that use possible. (Hear, hear.) He felt ouldeet that it war could be ►voided it would be by the very able agents whom her Majesty possessed in Japan. (Hear.) The Earl of CARNARVON would not press his motion ; but if her Majeety's government bad really shown so much forbearance, be could not understand why the papers should be withheld. He only regretted that the explanations which they had heard from two of her Majesty's ministers bad not been fuller and move satidactory, both as regarded the facts that bad occurred since the publication of the last pepsn and the policy which her Majesty's government intended to pursue. (Hear, hear.) motion was then withdrawn. BRITISH COLUMBIA BOUNDARIES BILL This bill was read a Wad time aad parse- REMOVAL OF IRISH POOR BILL. Thee bilrwu reed • wood time.

Earl GRANVILLE said that by stopping the bills their lordships would punish not the commisaioners but the people interested in the chasitice.

The vote of 65,5411. to complete the sum of 90,5411., to defray the salaries and expanses, &c., of the British Museum, was agreed to ; the house resumed, and the sitting was sus pended till six o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock, when Mr. MASSEY brought up the report of supply. LIEUTENANT TINLING. Colonel SYKES pve notice that on an early day be would cell attention to the cimumshuices attending the death of Lieutenant Tinling at a siege in China. MB, BFI SHAM AND THE CONFEDERATE ACTED- Itiiiki3: Mr. BLAKE stated that, according to the information which :Ad been furnished to him, a Yr. Belama, a British subject, went some time moos to reside in Alabama, and in consequence of his refusal to serve in the Confederate army he WS/ in the month of April last three times dipped in • tank of water, with • view to compel him to serve, sad that on being asked mob time whether be would serve or not be repeated his refuel, but that on being dipped a fourth time, he, in order to save his life, consented to serve nadir protest. Mr. LAYARD—In reply to the question of the boo. member, I beg to state that the cam of Mr. Belaham hes been brought to the notice of her Majesty's government, but the hoe gentleman is under a misapprehension when be says that the cane was brought before the Confederate authorities under the direction of Lord Lyons. Lord Lyons has no official communication whatever with the authorities of the Confederate States, and nothing, there fore, was done under his direction. But Mr. Moore, the Britiab consul at Richmond, did make a representa tion to the Confederite government with regard to the nee. Mr. Belaham was, as he states, cruelly treated—in. deed, he was exposed to torture to compel him to take service in the Confederate army. Unfortunately Mr. Bel sham's case is not the cagy one, but numerous similar oases have been brought to our notice, but these cases have generally occurred at a distance from Richmond. The Confederate authorities have expressed regret that they should have taken place. (Hear, hear.) A bill was brought before the session of th e C onfederate Assembly to empower the State to enlist foreigners in the Confede rate army. But that bill was rejected, and a committee was appointed to inquire into the treatment of British subjects who were imprisoned mostly for refusing to serve in the Confederate army. Mr. Moore made numerous re presentations to the Confederate government with respect to these acts of cruelty and illegality, and it was well known that in consequence of those representatioes the Con federate government suspended Mr. Moore's a:equator, mad be was obliged to leave the Confederate States. Her Majesty's minister instantly sent instructions to Mr. Moore to make strong representations to the Confederate govern ment, but they did not reach Mr. Moore until he had left the conatry. I trust that taking into account the action of the Confederate government in this matter, such eases will not home awn to British subjects. With regard to Mr. BetrUm ' I cannot tell where be is. We have beard no more of hint since the statement of Mr. Moore was received Mr. GREGORY—I wish to ask the bon. gentleman the Under Secretary for Foreign Annuli two questions, which I think be an answer at corn. The first is, when he spoke of torture being applied to a British subject, did he mean that the torture wee applied on the part of the authoritire of the Confederate government. (Hear hear.) The se amid question is—whether, inasmuch se this is • very grave affair, he will lay all the papers connected with it upon the table of the house. . . . . . ..... Mr. LA YARD—I am afraid that torture in the strict sente of the word has been inflicted, sad I am bound to say that these iota were committed by parsecs apparently act ing under the general instrections of the Confederate autho rities, but at a distance from the seat of the government. On Monday next I will stets whether the papers can be pro duced. (Hear, hear.) THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1863. meats that have been suggested. I think it would be very disadvantageous to the public service that any such reso lution should he adopted—(hear, hear)—end therefore the , • discussion. as regards practical results, would have to im portant effect. I can assure my hon. and learned friend and ! the house that whereas 1 think it is now plainly acknow ledged by everybody that the wishes of the Emperor of the French to find a fitting opportunity for that ackoowledg. meat have not been altered or changed, and that, on the other band, her Majesty. goverment, who at the present moment do not see that that fitting opportunity has arisen, are willing at all times to exchange opinions with the French government, not only on that, but on every matter of great moment in which we have a common concerti. (Hear. hear.) Oo public and general grounds, therefore, I should urge him to winery with the request of the hon. and gallant officer. (Hear, hear.) ' But there is one circumstance peculiar to the present debate which I think makes it still more desirable. It is hardly possible that the debate could be resumed without the re sumption of the discussion of what passed between my hon. and learned friend and the hon. member for Sunderland in their interview with the Emperor of the French. Now it was quite natural that they should have sought that inter. view. My hon. friend the member for Sunderland, as we well know, his frequently had interviews with the Emperor of the French upon those questions with respect to which he has taken a very active part in this house, namely, ques tions relating to navigation, and we knew and were per. fectly cognisant of those interviews. Therefore it was perfectly natural that they should see the Emperor of the French, and it was equally natural that. seeing the Emperor, be and they should express their opi nions upon American questions. But I humbly vesture to submit to them that the ,question as to what passed in an interview between two private gentlemen, even though they were member, of this house, and a foreign sovereign, es not • question fitting to be discussed in this house. (Cheers.) It must naturally lead to explanations on both sides, that, like all publie explanations of private conversations, may lead not only to unpleasant feelings on both sides, but tend to prevent the Emperor of the French from continuing that courteous and useful reception which he so graciously is pleased to give to all Englishmen of note—(hear, hear)—who come furnished with information that may be useful to the friendly relations of the two countries. It is obvious that that disposition which he has so eminently, and which is so honourable to him, and so useful to the interests of the two oouotries, must be changed if be feels that what passes in the abandon of private intercourse is to be made the subject of public discussion in the British House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) Now, as it is impossible that the debate can be resumed without leading in some way or other to the revival of that discussion, I hope my hon. and learned friend will consent to withdraw it, and that my boo. friend the member for Sunderland, who his hitherto taken no part in this dismission, will continue that discreet silence—that abstinence —(a laugh)—which he has hitherto pursued, and that he will be content to let the matter rest. No one has any right to blame him for the part which he took in going to the Emperor of the French sod communicating with him as he did ; but I think he will feel, as the house I am sure must feel, that with a view not only to the good relations between the two countries, bat with a view to she continuance of that access to the person of the Emperor on the part of British subjects of note which it is very desirable to maintain, itis math better that nothing further should be said on the subject either in future discussions or when my hon. and learned friend rises to state whether he will or will not accede to the request made to him by the hon. and gallant officer. (Cheers.) Mr. LINDSAY made • few observations in justification of himself and of Mr. Roebuck, who, he said, had stated nothing but what was true. He recommended Mr. Roebuck not to make • hasty answer to the appeal addressed to him, but to take full time for consideration. After a good deal of conversation. Mr. ROEBUCK said he would reserve his decision until Monday night. Poes , bly the question under discuuion might receive a solution in the meantime. Mr. LA YARD wished to put his hoe. friend the member for Gelway right upon one point. His bon. friend had lic ensed him (Mr. leyard) of stating that Baron Gros had refused to give a copy of the despatch. He had rid nothing of the kind. What he had said was that the despatch having been published in the Moniteur, there was no se cant for sending a ,opy of it to this government. As regarded the statement of the hon. member for Sunderland there were two allegations which bad been made by the honourable and learned member for First, that an application bad been made to the British government to know if it were prepared to unite with the Emperor of the French in re cogoising the Confederate States, and the second was that a despatch which had been communicated to the British go vernmeot in confidence having been sant to the cabinet at Washington, the Emperor of the French declined to send another proposal. In reply to thine statements he had only to refer to the answer of the Monsieur, which showed that the Emperor had said nothing of the kind imputed to him. What his Majesty implied was that he should instruct Baron Gros to sound the British government. With regard to the second statement, if he could show that the despatch alluded to by the hon. member for Sunderland bad been sent in February, then his whole accusation fell to the ground, for the proposal was said to have been made in November. If the despatch allotted to had been shown in February, how came it that the proposal was made in November of the same year! He (Mr. Layard) had stated on a former even ing without the slightest equivocation that no communication of any despatch had been made to the United States govern went at either an early or. late period of theyen. Since then he himself and two clerks in the Foreiv-office had carefully searched all the despatches from the beginning of 1862, and he could solemnly state on his word and honour that no such transmission of a despatch had taken place. The hon. and learned member for Sheffield must therefore be under some such misapprehension as had occurred to the hon. member for Sunderland last year. That boo. member came over with a confidential communication from the Emperor of the French, and scarcely had he set his foot in England when a telegram arrived stating that be had no authority to make a communication from the Emperor. No doubt some thing of the same kind had happened on the present occa sion. He did not know whether the alleged conversation had tame place in French, but he was certain that the boo. and learned member for Sheffield must be labouring under some grave misapprehension. POLAND. Mr. S. BEAUMONT inquired whether the hoe. member for King's County intended to take an early day for the resumption of the debate on Poland. Mr. HENNESSY hoped that the noble lord at the bead of the government would give bhn Thursday night. Lord PALMERSTON was afraid he could not give the boo. member Thursday, Oa he was anxious to geil on with supply, but the hon. member might take Monday week. Mr. HENNESSY intimated that be should endeavour to bring forward his motion on the first supply night. Mr. HOESMAN hoped that the noble lord would re consider his determination, Si Monday week would be within ten days of the end of the session. He thought the hon. member fir King's County might get Thanday next. Sir G. GREY .aid that at the morning sitting a general with wan ermined that supply should be taken in the evening, and it was then arranged that it should be taken on Thursday next. Mr. COLLINS thought that a series of morning sittiogs might be given to Poland. (A laugh.) Mr. HENNESSY complained of the conduct of the noble lord in receding from the pleige which he had given on a former oricasioa. He should place his motion on the paper for Thursday next, but if the right hon. member for Stroud would orneent to bring on his he (Mr. Hennessy) would give way. After an observation from Mr. WHALLEY, Mr. HORSHAM expressed his regret that government was not about to fulfil ha pledge given to the hon. member for King's County. He thought a discussion on the affairs of Poland was oeoes.ary, and he felt this so strongly that if the hon. member for ing's County did not get every faci lity, be (Mr. Horsman) should bring forward his motion on the next supply day, and he gave notice that., not on one or two, but on repeated occasions, he aheuld endeavour to ob tain a complete dimension on the Polish question. Lord PALMERSTON wished to say one word. The hon. member for King's County reproached him with a breach of faith respecting hit motion, but he denied that he had com mitted any. He had promised the boo. member a govern me A night, and he was prepared to give him Monday week. Thursday he could not give without inconvenience to the public service. At the same time, if the hon. member brought forward his motion on supply the government could not help it. PUBLIC WORKS. On the order for into committee of supply, Sir M. VETO called attention to the want of efficient control over the public works of the country and the neces sity of reorganising the Office of Works, with a view to reme dying the evil. Having animadverted on the useless ex peediture incurred for various public works, and the gene rally unsatisfactory condition of the department, the hon. baronet contended that the office ought to be altogether remodelled, and made responsible for all the public works of the country is respect of which parliament had voted MODE]. Mr. B. COCHRANE said he despaired of seeing any re form in this department of the government, and should like to know who war responsible for the frightful public statues which had excited at once the amazement and the deviant' of foreigners, and who had set up the figure on horseback sans legs and one arm In the centre of Leiceater square. Sir C. WOOD and Mr. COWPER defended tbe administra tion of the Office of Works. The subject yea also ventilated by Sir F. SMITH sad Colonel Fame. Sir J. HAY directed attention to the attack on Traogaoo, the chief town of a province of Siam, on the 12th of Noway. her last, rude by British forces from Singapore, in order to obtain the person of a certain ex-Sultan, who was residing at that place, and whom, it appeared, the authorities of Trangeou and the aunt of Siam ware quite prepared to surrender without the necessity of nutting to the last appeal of arms. Sir James Brooke had coodemnad the sot u the commission of a cruel sad grievous injustice. sod there could be no doubt of the impolicy of bombarding • friendly power without a declaration of war, or precautionary measures for the protection of the live, and property of the uooffeading inhabitanta. Sir C. WOOD stated that he had not yet received from the Indian government • full report of the transaction. but the information already M his possession enabled him to my that attacks of this sort were of a questionable, and in this particular instanoe of • very precipitate, character. Until the whole of the facts were before him, however, it would not be just to the officers respossible for the affair to form, much law expressos decided opinion on the setter. Mr. LIDDELL insisted, with some warmth, that the time had arrived when the house ought to put a stop to the policy of constant interference in the quarrels of native princes in the Eastern seas. It was unjust and illegal, and diametrically opposed to the principles of our common Christianity. Lord NAAS said it appeared to him that our officials bad been carrying on an unauthorised war in this mss, and that in doing so they had committed not only a mistake but a great crime. HO hoped that instructions would be sent to our officers in the Indian Archipelago, forbidding them to fire a shot except in selfdefence, - or by the orders of the government at home. Mr. BENTINCE brought under adios the subject of the frequently recurring accidents on railway; the great ma jority of which he attributed to the high rate of speed. The hon. gentleman also moved that in the opinion of the home it was the duty of the government to legislate for the better prevention of such accidents. Mr. DUTTON concurred in the views expressed by Mr. Bentinck, but remarked that the high rates of travelling complained of were in most instances occasioned by the public aniviag late at the stations, thus delaying the trains, and impos•rag the necessity of increased speed to ob serve the boon in the time tables. Mr. GIBSON opposed the motion, on the ground that there were so many considerations, such as curves, gradi• ante, and other circumstances, mixed up with the question, that it was impossible to legislate usefully respecting it. The motion was subsequently withdrawn. Several other subjects were also discussed, including the defective arrangements and insufficient accommodation of the courts of law ; and ultimately the house was counted out. The house went into committee of amply pro forma, and the chairman was immediately ordered to report progress. THE SYDNEY BRANCH NM BILL. This bill passed through committee. PROMISSORY NOTE'S AND BILLS OF EXCHANGE This bill passed through committee with a new clause providing that it should be limited to continue for three yearn, and until the end of the then swesion of parliament.

This bill wee read e third time lard passed. PATRIOTIC FUND. Colonel NORTH asked the hon. member for Chichester if he intended to name a day to more for a select committee to Inquire into the management and present condition of the Patriotic Fund? Mr. J. A. SMITH replied that he intended to move an address for a royal commission of inquiry on the subject, in stead of a select committee of the house ; but inasmuch as there was to he a meeting of the royal commissioners on Tuesday neat, he should await the result of that meeting. DOVER AND CALAIS '[AIL PACKET SERVICE, Yr. HEYGATE asked the Secretary to the Treasury under what contract or engagement her Majesty's mails were now carried between Dover and Calais and Dover and Or teed respectively ; and when any contract which may have been entered into by her Majesty's government would be laid upon the table of the home? Mr. F. PEEL replied that there services were at present being carried oo under conditions which had been agreed to between the Poet-otfioe, the railway companies, and the Belgian government respectively. The contact for the Dover service embodying these prodsione bad been sent to the railway companies for their examination and approval, and they had been urged to send a speedy answer. With regard to Belgium it was proposed to have an additional convention. RECOGNITION OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES. Sir J. FERGUSSON said he nee to ask his honourable mid learned friend the member for Sheffield the question of which he had given him notice, and he hoped that, con. aidering the importance of the subject, the house would allow him to make a few obeerrations. It was obvious that if the debate were resumed on Monday it would be either negatived unanimously or defeated by a very large ma jority. (Hear, bear.) In that case a false impression with respect to the real feeling of the house would go forth, and the action of the government would be hampered in the event of their seeing their way at an early period to • recogoition of the South, and besides that a reeling of irritation and deep disappointment would rat in the minds of the people of the Southern States. A few months ago if recognition had been generously proposed by this country. and carried into effect by them, it might have been attended with beneficial results ; it might have stayed the effusion of blood, end established in the minds of the South • claim of gratitude to this country for the action taken. (Hear, heir.) But new, if the motion should be successful, should the action of the South force • peace on the North, they would not thank us for the action we had Glen ; if, on the other band,the expe dition of the South into the North should prove a failure in what position would the house stand! (Hear, hear.l There fore, whether the motion was successful or unsuccessful, he vectored to submit that the motion could produce no Sul result, and that it would much better be withdrawn until • more convenient time. (Hear, beer.) The present was not • time for action, but for silent observation. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the personal matter that had been introdoeed into the debate, he felt sure the hour would give the hon. and learned member an opportunity of explaining. (Hear, hear.) He begged to move that the house do now adjourn. Lord PALMERSTON—Perhaps my hon. and learned friend will allow me to amid the request that hes been dads to him by the hon. sad gallant *nicer, neataly, that he will consent to drop the continuance of the debate which stands for Monday. J think th e circumstances which have been adverted to by the hon. and gallant officer are of them selves sufficient to show that this is sot the moment when it is desirable that a discussion of that kind should take place.

Mr. Wins, Q. 0., was proceeding to make an applicatioo to the ooart in this ease, in consequence of a telegram re ceived from Turin, whither the countess had been summoned to visit one of her children who was dangerously ill, when The Vice•Charicellor said he had understood that a notice of this case, which he had, on the final consent of all the counsel engaged in it, heard in private, bad appeared in the public prints. A more base and improper thing could not have been done • and whoever was responsible for the publi cation of the p roceedings in any case which the court thought proper in its discretion to hear in private, wadi not only guilty of contempt of court, but in this particular instance must, his Honour thought, have acted from one or otter of two motives—a pecuniary or a malevolent one. He was glad, however, to be able to nay that no mis chief had resulted to the infanta in this case, from the un justifiable aurae which some one had pursued : and be desired it to be understood that in family matters, where all parties wished to have a case heard in private, and the court thought it advisable , and for the interests of any parties in the suit, so to hear it, he should do so. The praotice was not confined to this branch of the court. It was only the other day that the Master of the Rolls had heard a cams in which infants were interested, in private. He begged to say that, if an soy future omission he found any officer of thin court lending himself to any such dis graceful, but at the same time contemptible, coarse of pro ceeding, he should certainly commit him fo r such contempt of court. Mr. Mills, here interposed, and vindicated his client from any complicity in the publication which his Honour con demised, and the solicitor also stated, with some warmth, that he knew nothing of the mode in which the report of the use bad got into the pipers. rename bad applied to him from some portion of the public press for information as to the case, but he had refused to give them any. The VioelManoellor regretted the necessity for the re marks which he had felt it hie duty to make. The benefit of the infants and justice to all parties was alone the object which the court had io view in all such cases as the present. This case was in the paper for the hearing tomorrow (Satur dey), and would then be disposed of in open court. Mr. Bacon, Q. 0., Mr. Greene, Q.C., Mr. George Lake Russell, and Mr. H. Stevens, appeared in the owe. His Honour directed Mr. Malin' present applicatioe (which was in the form of a eummone) to be disposed of in chambers this afternoon. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Joan 10. Sittinp at Nisi Prins in London.—(Before Lord Chief Juitice Erie and a Special Jury.) MESON V. TEE COMMERCIAL ASSORANCE COMMIT-11M - - BURNING OF TILE INDIAN EMPIRE STILLIIIR. This was an action upon a policy against fire for 10,0001., effected upon the Indian Empire steamer, which was burned in the Thames last summer, sod the pleas raised the defence that the policy was not current when the file happened. Mr. Boni], Q.C., and Mr. W. Williams appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Lush, QC., Mr. Kandake, Q.C., and Sir George Honyman for the defendant.. The plaintiff was formerly the mayor of Hull, and in 1862 he bought the Indian Empire for 15.0001., and having undertaken extensive repairs, be contracted to sell her to the French government for 35,0001. The repairs would of course take some time, and the plaintiff effected a policy with the defendants against fire for 10,0001. for three months from the 14th May. The policy described the ship as lying in the Victoria Docks, and it was stipulated that she was to be at liberty to go into dry dock and to have her boiler fi res lighted once or twice during the currency of the policy. The ship was taken to Lincllev's dock at Deptford for repairs, and the lower segment of her Elle -wheels was taken off, so that she could go into the The work io dock having been done, she was taken to the government buoy io the Thames, where the segment of the paddle-wheels was replaced. This occupied about ten days, and the very day that the work was completed alas took fire and was totally destroyed. The plaintiff's counsel stated that the first question was whether the statement in the policy that the ship was in the Victoria Do lur limited the liability in this way, that she should be nowhere else than there ; but he should con tend that there was no such limit, and that the words "in the Victoria Docks" were simply words of description. The Lord Chief Justice said that he should hold, for the purposes of the day, that the words " in the Victoria Dock" were no part of the contract, but simply words of descrip tion. . . . The plaintiff*. counsel, in contiouation, said that this at all events wu cle►r, that the ship was to be at liberty to go from the Victoria Docks into the dry dock, and be should contend that the plaintiff was entitled to effect this removal in the usual way. The abip was of 2,200 toes burden, and the usual course wee with suck l►rge ships to remove the lower part of the paddles, sou to be able to put them into dry dock ; and when the repairs were done, to take the ship to the nearest convenient buoy in the river, and there relit the wheels. Now this wee precisely what bad been done. The defendants' counsel, on the other hand, contended that it was by no means the usual course to remove the lower parts of the paddle...heels before usage went into dry-dock. though, of course, if the reseal was taken to a dock that was too small for her, it was necessary to do so. Another fact which he wished to state was, that of course the rate of premium for insurance was in proportion to the risk, and in the Thames theld■nger from fire was much greater than it would have been in the Victoria Docks. In the docks there was an organised system for putting out fine, whilst in the Thames there was nothing of the kind, and the probability was that if the fire had commenced in the Victoria Docks it would have been put out without any serious damage being done. All necessary repairs could have been done in the graving dock attached to the Victoria Docks, where the risk from fire would have been, u he had said, much less than in the Thames. Evidence having been given on both sides, it was agreed that the only question for the jury was whether it was in. tended that the ship should return to Victoria Docks after the repairs were done. The jury found that it was intended that the ship should return to the docka, eu4 a verdict was entered for the plaintiff for 10,00 W., subject to the opinion of the full court upon the construction of the policy.

There has bean a vod demand for Egyptian, without any change of moment.

COTTON 000DS.—MascHnerren, JULY 10.—Our yarn market has been very firm to-day. and there bas been some little business doing st Tuesday's rates. The inquiry has been good, and but for the anxiety existiog about Americas affairs, our merchants seem disposed to do a ommidsrable amount of business. Sellers are not disposed to give way, end the yarn market closes firm. In cloth there is rmlly very little change since Tuesday. Holders are still firm, whilst the offers making—and there are a few—are coo. aiderably below the quotations of sellers. There seems but little prospect at present of either party being willing to give way, and hence we have to report but tittle actual business. Such offers as have been made are so wide as to afford DO real teat of what prices would be accepted, though it is pretty clear that manufacturers compelled to realise would have to make a considerable concession in the pre sent state of feeling amongst buyers. Messrs. John Pander and Co., in their semi-monthly circular for the Over. land Mail (vii Marseilles) of yesterday, say " During the last fortnight our market has not, until within the laid three days, been more animated than at the date of our last report. Rather more inquiry bag been made since the arrival of the Bombay marl of Bth Jane, with more favourable acconote for goods from that market and Calcutta, which, however, has causal little actual business. There is some movement 13 the home trade, which is likely to be much stimulated by the pro. spect cf an early and good harvest. Quotations are goat the same se last reported (a fortnight ago), and this day's market has again been very quiet." There is no doubt that the extremely line simmer weather is leading to the most sanguine expectations sa to the coming harvest, and that commercial men are justified io expecting an increased de mand for cotton goods. It should be borne in mind, how. ever, that the high prices of the last twosomes have taught people to go for a considerable portion of their goods where they can get mixtures of woollen. ham, and silk with cotton and other substances, instead of buying fabrks purely of cotton, and that we must be 'sowed not to count too largely even on the advantages of a good harvest. If anything could show to what an extent the high prices of cotton goods have led to the use of substitute' in woollen and other gooda, it is the comparative prosperity of the Yorkshire trade ; and we hear it stated that already, on the lines of railway peering through the manufacturing districta of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the increased proemer city of trade is the latter has gone far to make up for the loss of traffic receipts 'caused by the suspension of business in the former. At the moment of writing, the steam. packet from America (tbe Scotia) is announced as having been sighted, and everybody is in a fever of excitement for the news, which is expected down to the Ist instant People who have witnessed }the whole program of this war from the first encampment of the two armies opposite each other on the Potomac till gragually the Northern armies have spread over a considerable portion of Southern tern. tagirl know the time it has taken to accomplish this, are se if they expected the fall of Baltimore or Wash. iogton would terminate the war and give them cotton again in a month.
