Lord WODEHOUBE. is moving the mood nadir of this bill, said the bill had been meet up to their lordships ao is than five times. The object el the bell was to reader it onneosseary to take the de clara tion which wee imposed by the sold 9 Geo. IV., the 17, sad which wee se follows " I solemnly mod smoer ly, and in the presence of God, testify and declare, upon the true faith of a Chrirtion, that I will never exercise any power, authority, or inflows which I w zz is pireeem by virtue of the office of —, to in jure or the pronstast church as by law eutehlithed ma Wand. or todiaturb the said church, ere the bishops and of the maid church in the parsnips of any rights, pei ,or immunities to which the said clergy or the bishops may be by law entitled? Believing that the de- Marriott was no real security to the church, and that it tented to alienate • large clean of dissenters from the ehooh, he trusted that their lordships would agree to the, *mad reading of this bill. The Earl of DERBY. in moving an amendment, no roof tacos who would sot hold for the continuos:off any grievance of which any class of my fellow-subjects have a right to complain. and I am not one of those who think that the denial of their real rights to others is an additional enmity for On church to which I bales& Mr my part will sever allow the blie of the church. so bog se I can help it, to he iatrineed upoo, but ou the other band, am were ready to acknowledge the rights of others.

RIGHTS OF MERCHANT SHIPS. Lord A. CHURCHILL wished to ask the Solicitor-Ge oeral whether merchant ships, in the prosecution of • youp Datums menu.' pooh, would be legally justified in defending themselves. by the use of arms, from capture by the cruisers of the Federal States of America. The SOLICITOR-OENEILLL—I have no hesitation is stating that merchant vessels noder the oircumstannes which the question supposes would certainly sot be justified in do fondle; themselves from capture by the use of arms. The question was determiud in the celebrated ow of the Swedish convoy, in which it was held, after quoting pre vious authorities, that not only were do they justified in doing so, but even if they attempted toso, even with ship@ of war in ocavoy, they would expose the/cadres not only to capture but just condemnation. SY A L L- PDX. Lord NAAS wilted to ask the Secretery of State for the Home Department whether the attention of the yournment had ben drawn to the tureen of small-pox in tie metro polis ; and whether it was hie inteetios to promo during thea...lit erasion any measure for the promotion of nod- nat Mr. LOWE said the misfortune with regard to the quo tion of vaccination was that when there was no alarm about smell-pox so trouble was taken on the subject, and it wee only whom disuse appeared io ell its horror that applica. time were made for legislation which must be very tardy. and insufficient to meet the evil that surrounded them. The subject had engrained the attention of the authorities. In England there was a measure for compulsory vaccination. The mune of the peat spread of the disease, however, was to be found in the weed of the local authorities, who were not sufficiently active in carryiag eat the provisions of the *satin law. There was no set, he was sorry to say, for Scotland, but the subject was under considiestion, though no decision had been come to. TILE PRINCE ALBERT MEMORIAL. Mr. CONINOHAM gave notice that on the report of the vote is supply for the pant towards the memorial to the late Prince Albert he should move the further poetpooemest of the vote until such time es information was dtarded to show the housethat the sum demanded was adequate ter the execution of it. (Oh, oh.) Unless the Fiat Lord of the Treasury gave a eatiefactoty explanabon fixing a limit beyond which the vote should notle earried, he would take the noes of the home epos it. THE POLICE AMALGAMATION BILL Mr. HENLEY gars mass got • th• milks for the soma roadbig at this bill, be lima ammtlint be road • mood ties that illay six moods. (Ks r, bora Mr. DENMAN said he could omens the statement of bis right hon. bisect the Horne Secretary as to the state of feeling to Scotland ; for he happened to be trevelling in the country at the time, and haviog reed every wool of the evidence, he talked about it to everybody he met is the tress. l i laugh.) Heounid not find a Nagle Scotahmen who believed Jesse M'Lwgblae to be guilty, and one nun odd, not that the woman ought not to be, but that she should not be hanged, and another said that it would mite three regiment. of soldier. to hang her. He hoped the Lord. Advooate would inform the house whether it ins the law of Scotland that a person who bail once been examined ea a witness in a crimes) case could not be tried iu oonwition with it. if that were so, it was a most *renditions state of the law. (Hear.) The LORDADVOCATE said he could not refuse to re spond to the &penal that had been mode to him, as to how far a pence who had given evidence could be tried with re ference to the same charge. His opinion was, that un doubtedly be could not be so tried, and such was the law of Scotland. Nor was he prepared to admit that this was neoseetril a bad state of the law. It was ex tremely de that witnesses should give their tes timony without fear of consequence's. W hen the judge saw there were suspicious circumstances spinet the witness the usual course we. for him to assure the witness that nothing he could say would be brought against him, and that be meld not be tried for the matter in bend. Although in the present one this caution was sot taken, yet if the witness Fleming had been arraigned at the bar, and this objection had been takes, he (the Lord Advocate) was clearly of opinion that be could not have been tried. With respect to the course he (the Lord Advocate) had taken in this in quiry, that might have been smartened by his hon. friend in a very simpl man ner . In this case he had taken the coarse whic h be ordinarily took when his right hon. friend the Home Secretary directed an inquiry. The result of the inquiry was not to criminate Fleming, but, sa his right boa. Irked had mid, the result wee to show — first, that there were material circumstance which were not before the jury ; and secoodly, that there were sub stantial doable on parts of the can which had not bees laid before the jury. Os them grounds it wee resolved not to pardon the culprit, but at the -came time sot to inflict the extreme penalty of the law. No doubt these were always cams of peat anxiety, and he had great double whether any good moss from discussing them is that house. (Hear, hear.) The responsibility of a Home Seernary was so pave that be should be left with that reepomibthty, sad neither have objections on the on hand, nor popular discussions in that house on the other. He should not be controlled by the fear of its being said that be had overridden the minion of • jury or the opines of • judge. He thought his right hon. friend could eat have come to any other conclusion than he bad come to. (Cheers.) The subject shortly afterward, dropped. THE SEIZURE OF THE ALEXANDRA. Mr. HOBEFALL, in eating attentin to the cam of the 'enure of the Alexandra at Liverpool, denied at the oaten to Mahe that ha bad no wish to promote any general dis cussion either en the Forties Eatintment Act or on the pro. nut state of affairs in America. U, however, the bon. member for Rochdale (Mr. Cobden), who had • notice on the paper, it it right to do so, be bed so r igh t to take ex ception to is ; but he vectored to expos the hope that the home maid got allow itself to be carried away by any pond diatonic on a peers' principle from the individual ore of bardeldp which it wee his duty to submit to them. The charge was, he understood, that the Alexandra was furnished and fitted out with the Intent of bang employed is th e envies of the Confederate aping the reeled Mahe ; but to this the owlets replied with the edema declaration that they entertained so intentin of theme'. Her Majesty's 'oversewn. profaned to act staidly up= the principle of ' neutrality in the contest now going ou ie Almeria' ; but if we were to have neutrality, why bad they nos stopped the alionest of arms to the Federal, as well as the mane of • ship which they +u.,-seed of being in the genies of the Confederate? The fact wee that at this minneat we were not only supplying th t e . Federate, also the rodt h r iN me eeethelifeoer cafe, emigration tiO W O UD ol l 7;lat u from Limped dm* the present year was ooesiderably greater OM 11 had been during the correspoading period in a par ones 1853. Now be did Dot object to eingeants going to the United States ; but rem* we had • right to know by whom they wise emit, led he was told that the merge of • large pinks Ini these persons was paid for in America. He sogpoted, therefore, that it was the duty of the govern ment to lave the Foreign Enlistment Act amended so that the shipment of arras should be prevented as well as the dispatch of vessels fitted out for warlike purposes. In conclusion, the hoc. member complained that the owners of the Alexandra had not been permitted to see the evidence upon which the ship had bean mand,and called upon the government to a ff ord facilities for enab ling those gentlemen to free themselves from • charge that was utterly un founded and had entailed upon them a greet hardship and isj The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that even if the forms of the home allowed the hon. gentleman to make hie mo tion, there could be but one answer on the part of the go veraineot, sad that answer he would not delay one moment giving. Without entering into the details of the quai -1 hoe, be would my that it must be presumed that the Alex ' aodra had been mind on sufficient grounds by the govero meet and on sufficient information. The usual proceedings wereta caused being takes In ormiequeseos of that ensure, and the boo, gentleman asked the government to lay on the table of the boom the data and materials which had induced the government to act as they bad dose. Nothing would tend moors to subvert the adminithratiou of justice than for the house to lend itself, pending proceedings in soy of their worts of justice, to furnish—for that would be the effect of laying the papers on the table of the house—the peewee amused with the data on which the penmen proceeded. The hom gentleman bad. however, alluded to another case. He stated that not only were arms furnished from Liverpool to the Federal government, but that remain, under the name of emi grants, were also supplied. Now, was that the case or VII it not ? The Foreign Enlistmen t certainly provided for such &case if it arose ; and if the hon. member, or those who gave him the information, supplied evidence to the government or to the officers who an for the executive at Liverpool showitig that such was the fact, he would undertake that the law should be strictly enforced. Information• would be laid before the keel justices, and warrants obtained for the arrest of the parties, end the vessel on board of which they were to be conveyed would be seised. In the absence of such infor mation it was unfair to charge the government with exer cising in the one case undos severity, and in the other with failing to pot the law into executioo. He trusted the hon. member would not persist with the motion, which amis. tautly with the rules of the house could sot be put from the chair. Mr. WRITE:3IDR said be thought that the motion of the boa member for Liverpool was one of • very serious cha racter, and he did not think that the right boo. gentlemen who hod just spoken had answered the point of that state ment. For his part he bed never heard a more simple or intelligible case put before the house. If depo otiose were made against the meanest criminal in the land be had • right to be furnished with copies of the information. (Hear, hear.) Was this new principle about to be introduced by her Majesty's government, that when a crime was charged &phut • party be was to be told that he would lame the enure of the actuation at • future time? Mr. COLLIER said that the question before the house nett sotto be considered solely in • national point of view. ' The bones should remember that though they were mend new, they might on day be belEgareata. and 'ay rale or principle laid down now might that be usrd sgaiost them. It appeared to him that if one foreign power made me of • antral territory for the purpose of enabling them to con duct hostilities against another power, the latter would have • right to complain of such • proceeding, independently alithini of the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Tied was the ground on which we acted in the year 1793. At NM time the French ambassador used the ports of America to 114 one privateers to prey on the commerce of this country. We remonstrated with the American go vernment ea the ground that such a proceeding was a breach of nentridity, and the government of Washington acknowledged the justice of the remoostrame, and Mopped the fitting out of privateers in their ports. We remonstrated with the American go vernment on two grounds first, because they allowed the export of arms and ammunition from their ports to France ; end, secoodly, because they permitted the equip , mond vwls of war in their ports. They distioetly re pediated their obligation to prevent the shipment of arms and armannition —(mar, hear)—but they as distinctly Waited their obligation to prevent the fitting out of vemels of leer. That was a distinction of very peat importance. If the Americans had been guilty of any breech of inter , manual law, let us make that a groan of remonstrance spin them, and insist upon oar rights ; but let us not make the existence of such grounds of complaint a pretext ter miming to enforce our own laws. He believed and lapel that mane would be maintained. He believed that the great bulk not only of our countrymen, but of the Amnon people also, desired it (Cheers.) They bad, no doubt, used imMting language, and pro ' body had done irritating acts • but he would remind the hones that these i rritating expressions I we mere represented the feelings of the Americans at large I then skein expreenne in that bean nprimetsd the teei ng el Eagles& (" Haar, hear," and laughter.) He hoped and behaved thet peen would be maintained ; but, if war meet ma, let us endeavour so to demean ourselves that the opinion of the whole civilised world might be in our bent. Let us at any rate be able to satisfy our ow. coo esimese that we had left nothing online mosetectly with ewe beam to avert so great • enmity. (Cheers.) fit H. CAIRNS mid, if sothiog mere bad been done than the law e the country warraiited, why was it that for upwards of • fortnight the owners of the Alexandra were left in lOW* icroomace of the mime which was laid to their charge. He complained that the Attorney-General had not offend one word of explanation cm this paid, demanded to know why, after the machinery of the law had been put in tonne by the Americas omen], a copy of the evidence bad ad bees famished the partiesamerise4 and ridiculed the notice esned on the OVUM as indicating no offence which was esetaind in the act. Mr. COBDEN drew atteatien to the motives of national mildatered, and to the obligations of implied international eagagements, by which the British government was called tinnier • vigilant sad rigid enforcement of those provisions of the Fordo Enlistment Act, which forbade the funni ng of ships of war to a belligerent power to be employed spied anther power, with which this country was at pace. The her. member dewed that there was oo sionstac i the world that parted one-parter the interest that England had at Make is maintaining the system of interoatimal law, of which the Foreign Enlistment Act was the basis. He contended that we were u meek boned to sa honourable reciprocity towards the UMW 84•61118 as if we had treaty espgements with them. What would have become of our ogoee s. if the little dark cloud that hosiers, Brasil the other day had ushered is a war? According to the theory of the hon. and learned gen tleman. the Americans would be entitled to build ships and mod th em out to carder is the name of the Brazilian ' government, with the penitiarnios of the lira:Dian governmeut, to cruise against our oommeroe. But he would Dot put it oo the ground that this might possibly happen by oar adopting the alternative which the boa. and loathed geotleman had so unwisely referred to; sod he thought the boo. and learned gentleman ought to thank him for giving him the opportunity of retracting or qualifying it but what might happen, and what would happen if we did not ou this °cession observe the same neutrality towards America which America bad observed towards us ? Could we maintain the Foreign Enlistment Ace in Amato or else• where, mime we maintained it bomurably ourselves ? They had not only In America, bat in Franco, a moat stringent foreign enlistment law. A friend of his wrote to him stating that according to the French oode if a person there fitted out a ship of war for a foreign power, or did anything that in curred the Athol war. he was liable to transports- — Were there any meow by which our government could prevent the Biting out end sending forth such ships as the Alabama, the Florida, and the Japan ? All there ships were built in this eountry, maimed in this country, and armed and equipped in this country. No nation would suffer so much es this ration from Ude system if war ware to break out. He believed that there was always afloat on salt water property to the amount of from 100 to 120 millious sterling, uwsed by British merchants. The pro perty of British merchants at stake on the ocean was more than that of all the rust of thir world put together. Thre► fourth, of the tea that came from China came to this country and four-fifths of the silk, and of the tallow and hemp which wee exported from Russia the greatest part came to this country, and one-half of a the cotton in the world. He wasted public opinion to be raised on the side of law in this country. Every oes who built a ship of war for either of the contseeling parties essmaitted • crime, and subjected himself to weal coseinasesse. The Alabama was built for the Confidante goverment; and was manned here surreptitiously, and eras were sent to bar. Earl Russell said the Alabama escaped under the pretext of going on a pleasure trip. In another despatch he said she had violated the law, and that he had sent orders for her to be stopped at Nunn. But if she could be stopped at Nassau, why not stop her else where? Why not woe • proclamation that those vessels which bad escaped from our ports should not be admitted into any of the ports or any of our islands? That would have a misdeal to stop the seeding out such vessels by making it not pay. That was our duty is reference to our obligataone for the put and oar interest for the future. They had pawed their Foreign Enlistment Act many years sem That law was passed to prevent a war between two nations becoming • general war. It was a benign law ; and were they now going to roll back the axis of the moral world by whimaily repealing that law and violating our avowed neutrality ? He could not help thinking that that house would feel that in doing so it would be unworthy of itself and of the country, and would moreover be com mitting a cruel and general wrong apes hurmaity. Mr. BOWMAN, speaking in regard to the conduct of her Majesty's governmest, said his opinion was that they had with perfect m y sodeavoured to carry out the policy of • dent and undeviating neutrality. There was no doubt that we were bound to enforce the Foreign Enlistment Act by a regard to oar whined character he could not, therefore. be the apologist who men who were guilty of illegal proceedings, that tended to embarrass our relations with other countries. The right hoe. gentleman then proceeded to review the progress of the American struggle from the commence ment to the present time, and observed that seoessioo was DOW an accomplisbed fac t, proved by the triumph in alms, the wisdom and calmness in council, and the spirit of • people determined, as one man, to die for their imispee demos. The war on the part of the North was now not only waged against freedom, but cimliatiou ; for great as was the crime of slavery, there was yet • crime of deeper, blacker dye ; sad it was to be found in the proclamation of President Lincoln, which invited the negro to achieve his f PM. dom by a carnival of crime. The right hon. gentleman con tinued :—The government of the North having played their last desperate card and it having been followed by failure and disgrace, they profess now to still cherish the delusion that the Union is to ha recovered by war. But let me ask this simple question. When you have half a-million of men in arms on ow side to compel en union, and on the other sworn to resist it to death, what becomes of the spectacle of eke great republic founded on the free choke at ea united people • . Why the attempt to cement that union with blood km broke. down the whole internal government el the wantry. The free republic has been metamorphosed into a military tyranny—the Pre sident is a more irresponsible despot than the Czar of Russia—hherty of are person of motion, of speech, at writing, and of thoo;ht, all goes—the press is coerced and gagged—the state pitmen me filled with political off eedere—end, as it used so be in Italy—The editor of a paper who dares to preach peace hes his pro perty destroyed, and a politics lyieg for signature recom mending to the government arktratioa is seized by the yahoo and torn to puma Meer, hoer.) Is fact at this menses the consolidation of the United States is at an end. And what is their financial positiou ? In three years they have created a debt half as large as that of England, and of double the rate of interest. The interest oe the debt at this moonlit is greater than the whole revenue of the Union was before the war, and in three wan hews they will have the largest debt in Europe sod the lowest credit. (Leughter, and beer, hear.) Thew army is in process of dissolution. By their own depart gametal amount; by the returns of their own officials, the number of deserters during the war has exceeded 130.000. Their tern of enlistment expires on the Ist of Jute, and en listment is not likely to be renewed by soldiers whose pay is very much In arrear. The Irish and Germans—who are the fighting portion of the army—have either been killed or have disap pea red, acid the negroes—for whom emancipa tion my hos. friend is so desirous and who were thelast hope of the North—have failed, for at the first volley these sable warriors threw down thew musketa and runaway. (Laughter.) Such then is the political, the financial, and the military 000ditiou of the Union which has been brought to ruin by the errors of its administratioe, and I have reviewed the situation of their drain, because it enables us to judge of those leaders who appear to be imlinedto mown their errors by the belief that the best escape from intestine troubles would be a foreign war, and that a war with England would answer that purpose most effectually. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the discussion bad wandered very far indeed, and if he endeavoured to bring it back in some degree nearer to the point, be felt be should labour under the disadvantage which everyone experienced who endeavoured to return to a dispiesiosate frame of mind after bearing as matiou not altogether of that charac ter. (Hear, hear.) He heartily agreed with the desire for the maintenance of peace which had been expremed by his right hoe. friend, and it was with pleasure he heard that his wishes were so strong for peace, although he owned be entertained some degree of doubt whether his speech had that pacific tendency which he, doubtless, desired it to have. He could only hope for the best. He had heard, with considerable satisfaction, from his boo. friend the member for Belfast (Sir H. Cairns) that, in his ruin, there was no question about the policy of the Enlistment Act and the duty of enforcing it. He should be very glad indeed if he could feel sure that such was the universal opinion of that house. (Hear, hear.) He thought it would be a great support to the government if that were generally understood throughout the country, for there could be no doubt whatever that it was the duty of the govei °meat, while this was the law, to enforce that law. There could be no doubt that those persons, whether they were merchants in high position or low, or whatever else they might be, who did not feel the obligation to observe this law in their commercial and other dealings, were forgetful of the duty which they as citizens owed to their coantry. (Hear, hear.) Could it be canniest with their duty as subjects, as chinos, and as Christian men, to disregard the obligation so doubly laid on them both by the law of the country and the command of the Queen, and, he might add , by the jeopardy in which impor tant puhlio interests might be placed by their wanton sod systematic disregard of those obligations? (Hear, hear.) He heard with astonishment nut long ago that there was supposed to be some inconsistency between the conduct of the government in acting upon information they had received as so the violation of this law, sod the sentimeets which he (the Solicitor-General) was the humble organ of express ieg in that house as to the attitude which the government would and must maintain in discussions with the Coded States as to the extent and character of its interodioual obligations. inconsisteocies ! It would be in the recollec tion of everybody who was premed at the debate to which h e referred that, on behalf of the government, he stated their anxiety and determination to enforce this law in all came in which sufficient information supported by sufficient evidence could be brought before them. ( Hear, hear.) He stated, and he now repeated, that without that evidence, and without pursuing the same means they used in other cams, they could not and would not act ; sod be agreed with his boo. friend opposite that the kw were not to be s t re tched to mess the demands of any foreign power. (Hear, bear.) Important as it was in maintain our own laws—just and important as was the policy of the law of Foreign Enlistment—it was of more importance to preserve our liberties and maintain our constitution unim paired. (Hear, bear.) They Ind said that the would keep their obligations is meortknos with the laws, and to that profelake they had adhered. Now with regard to the particular cam which bad created this discussion, he was afraid his hon. and learned friend the Attorney-Geeseal was not understood by the house. (Laughter., This case of the Alexandra was pending in a eoart of law, sad was about to be tried.

It was imposeible, without senbarreseieg and de feating the proceedings which they had taken upon them selves the reirponsihility of instituting, to disclose prema turely the infirmities they bad received. Everything had been done is this case according to the usual come of law. The cause of seizure was not stated is fall in the notice of appraisenient, nor was there anything in the ma of parliament which made it neosmary to do so. Then agaio, the set of pertinent did not prescribe any sworn information, and there was no analogy with a criminal procedure. The prosecution took place under the Customs Aet. The government required gat belt own Were ties and satisfaction swore depoei- Nook bud MU* sever bees the enstoin in such came to give these eel thore wee nothing in the act of parliament to ankle the party to receive them. Sir F. HOLLY sand whether ler Majoisy's government bad adopted any maths of facilitating sad prate/nag panel eommunkatiose between this wintry and ports tritium and near to the Gulf of Mexico ; and to cannier attention of the house to the difficulties now attending such communica tions. There being an sat of parliament under which it was competent to the Post-of ee authorities to compel soy need of this country to take on board • mail lag sealed with the Post office seal ; if • venal about to mil to the Gulf of Mexico was charged with the conveyance of one of these mails, a letter, perhaps fabricated for the purpose, might easily be introduced into the Latter beg, the vend mi;ht be boarded, the beg opera, and the letter found ; and the consequence might be that the vessel would be captured and possibly condemned. Whet was the answer of the noble earl to this question I It was such an answer as that the owners of these vowels lost all confidence that they were under the pecnotion of the British government. It was open to two objections. First, it implied the degrading avowal on the part of the minister of the Crown, that he thought fit to depart from the usual course, lawfully and ordinarily adopted on the part of his government ; be found himself called upon to release from the obligations of the law • venal about to premed to a foreign poet, simply because he found it im possible to carry out these obligations. Further, it rendered it difficult to connive bow the correspondence between British merchants and the Gulf of Mexico and the West India islands could be carried on. He hoped that • full and satisfactory newer would be offered by the government to thiscpestion. Mr. MILKES said be did sot think the speak of the right hoe. gentleman the member for Stroud, which was so insulting to a great and friendly people, and he believed most offensive to a great portion of the members of the honee—(hear, hear)--ought to be allowed to pain an. answered end unchallenged. But it that late hour he would only generally protest against the socuracy of his facts sad the logic of his conclusion. (Hear, bear.) Th e hoe . end learned gentleman who had just saedown asked what they were to do. He would say that what they had to do was to abstain from making such speeches as that delivered by the right hon. member for Stroud? It was not to be supposed that the people of North America—a spirited =tin, irascible like tlmonelvee, would submit not only to such words, but to such acts as had takes place. The MOW States could build their own ships in their own poets, but the Confederate States had no porta, except what we chose to give them. It was from our ports that vessels honed to born the ships of the Federal States. And the offset of our conduct was to give • navy to those who had sot. It was not • real neutrality if we allowed theses:tips to be built. The government should exercise the ninon vigilance in this matter, and give • wide and libeled isterpreiatios to the =ions of the Foreign Enlistment Aot. He the wise men on the other aide of the Atlantic would regard the government as the exponent of the people of this country, and would not be led sway by such ebullitioee as %Writhe right bon. member forStrouo. Lord PALMERSTON said the bon. and learned member oppolite has asked what security there is for mercantile communications with Mexico, mid fur communications by letter. In the Ent place, with regard to merchant vessels, the brat security, and I think • sufficient one, is, that the American government will, no doubt, observe the law of na tions, and that if their cruisers seize on merchant men without sufficient cause, they are liable for d in their courts ; there is no resew t mill believe that their courts will not act justly in oases of that wort With regard to tags of letters carried by merchantmen, if they ere captured on suspicion of being for illegal it will be seen by the order which my noble friend in another 'Nee that the American government prescribe what is to be done in regard to bags so found. They are not to be opened ; the seals are not to be broken ; they are to be delivered to the consul of the country to which they belonged when the vowel came into port ; that consul was bound in honour to open the bags himself. And if there should be in those bags anything contrary to the good faith of n nations, and containing matter against the govern ment of the country, be is then bound to give that to the government ; but the letters in the begs are to be forwarded by him to the destinatios to which they are directed. I apprehend there is no neon oily at present for any further proceeding on the part of her Majesty's government than to call the attention of the go vernment of the United States to the circumstances, and to express a hope that they will act according to international law, and in accordance with the rule which they have them selves laid down.

Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. T. Jones, appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. M.

The articles in this ems were of peat value, and the company bad charm d reasonably according to the value ; but the only question for the court was whether the ocen peey's act, the 6th William IV.. cap. 149, permitted such charge. It said that the company might charge BUMS not exceeding those set forth In the schedule, but this article was an exceptional one, and was not mentioned io the sche dule.
