Lord liEltBY referred to the incidents of the war in S:eawig that have occurred sines the dates of the correspon degas 144 published, the dismantling the forts of the Din• newerke by the German forms, the removal of Danish oms - the prohibition of the use of the Danish lan„;u3ge. and finally the invasion of Jutland. These acts went beyond an occupation of the territory, and changed lb* cluracter of the war. Under them altered circumstances lie wished to know whether the government would comment to the production of the correspondence on Danish and German adfairsdown to the latest date*. . _ Lord RUSSELL repeated the different reasons that had Lem gives by the German powers for the advance of their troops ado Jutland, and described the negotiations en tered into by her Majesty's government for an armistice and a coeferenot between the powers who signed the treaty of Londoa. An answer from the lk,sish government to the proposal of a conformers was expected during the present week, but as negotiations were still ►ending he was not now prepared to produce all the correspondence. The Earl of DERBY said it would be meet convenient that the papers aboukl be in the hands of their lordships before the Easter recess. Meal HUBBELL said there was great pressure at preterit in the ' , anima-office oo account of the preparing Papers oa Chiba sad America, and therefore it might be difficult to have them ready in time. Lord SFRATFOHD DE RZDCLIFFE agreed with the noble earl that it was most desirable these papers should be in the hands of their lerdahipe before the Hater recess. He could understand the embarramenetit felt by him noble friend with regard to their immediate production, as he understood from him that the negotiations were pending. In reading the papers already presented he had been struck with the indications cue♦ furnished of the increased chances of a war, which he confessed he had long anticipated, far more extensive in its character than that between Austria and Prussia and Denmark. PATENT OFFICE BILL. This bid ins read s wood time. ANGLESEY CENTRAL RAILWAY BILL. This bill wax read a third time and passed. SIR J. LAWRENCE'S SALARY BILL. This bill passed through committee. SIR ROWLAND HILL. - - Lord TRURO inquired whether the rumour of Sir R. Hill's rmi;nation was well founded ; and if so, whether he had any objection to state the drew:mance. under which that resignation had taken place! Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said it was true that Sir R. Hill Lad resigned on account of ill-health. Leave of ab sence ha i been given him for six months, but at the expiration of that period be forwarded his resignation, acoompanied by a certificate signed by four eminent medical men, stating that the leave of absence had riot restored him v. health, and that he could not return to his duties without danger to his :fu. He was quite mire he should receive the con currence of their lordships, and of the whole country, in regretting Sir Rowland's retirement, and the loos which the public h,.i su.rained in being deprived of the murices of so valuable an officer. The name of Sir Rowland Hill would be connected with one of the greatest nu provemmts of modern times—an improvement which had hero ad . 11ted by nearly every portion of the civilised world. (Loud cheers.) Tfi . AUSTRIAN AND PI I:ASIAN FLEETS. The Lori of SHAFTESBURY asked the Foreign — Searle tart' whether he could give any information respecting the movemeata of the Austrian gift toward the Baltic. I thin's', my lords, said the noble earl, my memos for putting this question will be sufficiently obvious. Never have I known the people of England more orofouadly stirred than the.: are on the present occasion. Never bevel kaown exhibited • greater anxiety than in shown at the present monies: in contemplAting the mine of the struggle between the litt.e and gallant kingdom of Denmark aid its two overgrown and powerful oppressors. It is fifty millions agaicit two millions in that unequal contest. It is Yore ottani , : that /Inland should And herself in oppositioa to Austria and Ps ussia, the two great conservative moustabies to whom she should look for peace and order, but from whom she now expects nothing but condagration. Yet, my lordi, 1.3 it is ; and we cannot but look wills dismay—and ens sure the whole country feels what I am ens ;ug— to see those powers return to their old career of ann.:and spaliatiou. Now I must sue that the helmet of that “iuutry have been much touched by the menden of the Ki of Denmark. The concession which the King of Demi-art has promised to make must be considered • suffi cient eparatiou for any wrong which has been committed. It is net lineman to argue bete whether be was in the right or wrong with reference to the patent of Holstein or the constitution of Sleawig ; for be had agreed to snake the utmost concessions. This little kingdom comas before its mighty oppresaors and says, " Have patinas with me, and I will me pa all;" hat instead of that they seise it by the the invade its territory, inflict neon it unutterable calami:es, and institute a war which I think every«ne will for ..ititoonees and DOICUDINIDOSD, is one et the mast ,i.sgraceful to be found in the pages of &whist or v. dein history. My lords, it is very ominous that is rookinetion with all this we bear that the ..1 fleet 11 . 11 , been sent from their Adriatic porta and is m ,:.ng its way to the Baltic. Perhaps it is singular that we ,b bear of an Austrian fleet at all ; hat it is still mor, that we should hear of it with any degree of niis givio4 o i alarm ; and therefore it is that I venture to put to my aahle friend the question of which I have given notice. I wed rake but just one more remark. We may receive from tad uolde lard a reply, to the effect that the Austrian feet is meet tour's is making its way to the Baltic. If it be ea, tame nos he no doubt of it. destination, or of the porp , ,i for which it is to be employed. Or again, we may be tel.:, that then are bat one or two ships only. But that will be most uniatiafactory ; because we must regard those one or two reseals as the precursors of • much larger force. I do mt hesitate to say—and in saying it I do not stand alone!_ England—that whether the force that Austria is snubs; be great or small, I trust it will be met at the mouth of the Baltic by the presence of a British fleet, that fleet . ..aviog instructions from her Majesty to watch its movements, to restrict its *mations, and, if neemeary, to dolling by force of arms sh e integrity—sod I will say the sanctit?— of the kingdom and people of Denmark. iII'SSELL—I will only answer my noble friend as to the f .eta that have come to my knowledge with regard to the &tertian of the Austrian government. Wh en we lint beard that ship, were to be mot from the Adriatic I wrote to air minister at Vienna, and I inquired of the Austrian 1111111.......010, in I. nolo° as to the intentions with which they wore to be sent. We were told at once that there were many Austrian ships that were in danger from the Danish ships in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic; and that it was simemary to protect their commons. We were told further that there were about 140 mercheat ships belooging to Austria—or bearing the Austrian flag—which were coming from America about this time, bound for Epp dish porta ; nod that, therefore, it was the kinetics of the Austrian government to send a few ships—two or three—to the mouth of the Channel, in order to save these vessels from the Danish cruiser that might be looking out for them. Since that time, within these two days, further rumours bate been circulated, and I hare received further iafornuotioa. It is stated, in the first Place, that there is no intent:on whatever of medusa any Austrian ships to the Bal tic or the Cattegat ; neither 3 it intended to send any naval force. That is the statement of the Austrian government. What they do say is that there is great danger, if a blockade at the month of the Elbe is instituted, that a great deal of Cerman commerce will fall into the Lauds of the Danes ; and that they, therefons, think it necessary to contribute au Austrian squadron in order to protect it. Now, my lords', without stating at all what course shall be pursued, or what may hereafter be found to be actually the course which the Austrian govenitneat will pursue, I must say that considering what the Austrian fleet is, aod consider. Mc what the Danes are, for Austria in her position to mod a fleet late the North Sea with • view to protect a nations. lity oppressed by • foreign race,dose seem tome to be which every true friend of Austria muss deplore, (Choate) Toe Earle, ELLENBOROUGH—My lords. I wish I could give the sense credit to the representations of the Aostriaa government which I should willingly have does three or foar months ago. (Hear, hear.) But whee I look at her recent conduct with regard to the lona.). of Jutland —her conduct in landing troops to effect the invasion of Jutland and to form the siege of Fredericia..after she bad given us reamn to suppose that her efforts were altogether to Le coatioed to the occupation of Sleawig for a special purpose—l conies., I must look at chances and probabilities rather than at representations, and I must believe that that Austrian fleet, in its whole force, is destined for the Bettie, there to form a janction with the Prussian fleet, and there to establish, an it will, a maritime superiority is addition to the military superiority which they cow peewit If the statements that are made with regard to the respective strength of these fleets are correct, there can be no doubt dist that will be the result of the arrival of the Mintiest fleet in the f: iliac ; and keowirm. as we do. what will be the result of this maritime superiority there, 1 cannot believe that they will not effect their purposes. We are told—and I supple. there can be no doubt about it—that this important position of Duped. which protects the afters to the island of Aloes, iv flanked right and left by bacish vessels of war. lusted of Vanish vessels, let there he Austrian and Prussian, and you will render the defence of it reedy impracticable. Moreover, it is connected with the island of Alien by two bridge,. These being under the fire of • superior fleet, they would no hewer serve the purpose of those who have to de tract the fortifications. Viers can be no tenon to doubt that within • short period after the arrival of that superior fleet iu the neighbourhood of Alien the fortifications of 1 supped must fall. In themes. way, Federici& no lege depends upon the protection of a fleet ; and Fredericia is nactically Fiume, the second important island of Denma r k. There eau. therefore, be no doubt that if you allow Austria and Prussia to have a maritime as well sea military superiority in the Baltic, you sacrifice the independence, the very ex - ismer.. of the Danish monarehy.

It may require it. support at any instant. In war time ia of all things easential. Danger may arise, and you might not have the means of meeting it because you would not have the support of parliament. I coffees Ido not think it right that parliament should separate without having assured the crown that having considered the correspood ewe which has bees laid before no by command of the Queen, we will support her Majesty in any measures which may b ecome necessary for the maintenance of the independ ence of Denmark.

Loud cheers.) . . . . Earl GREY—There is hardi • word which hat fallen from th e noble earl in which 1 not concur. Ido think that it is most objectionable that parliament should separate foe a considerable time without our knowing anything of what is to take place in the interval. I cannot help laying that since I have been in public life I have never read as aloud correspondence which has been laid before parliament with such • deep sod painful sense of humiliation to this country u when I read the papers which an now before us. (Hear, hear.) I do feel with the noble earl who has just sat down, that we are advancing step by step without parliament having soy opportunity of expensing its opinion or doing anything to check the danger. e are advancing stop by step upon a course which involves the surrender of the weaker to unprincipled violence of greater powers. (Cheers.) Thetis a emirs* which is full of danger and disgrace ; and I for one can but express she deep feeling which I entertain that some opportunity will be given the British parliament for the full consideration of this subject before it separates for the Easter recess. The Earl of HARROWIW—I think it must be conve nient to her Majesty's government that there Mould be some expression of opinion on this subject as has been suggested. It seems to me, slier the unsuccessful inter ference of last year, and after the passive attitude we have aims assumed, that unless tome expression of the kind suggested opine from the people of England. her Majesty's government cannot safely go into any negotiations at the present moment. It seems to me that it would be of the utmost importance to them to feel the pulse of the people of England, and to be then enabled to say to these invading powers. that there is a point beyond which the patience of the English nation cannot be tried. (Hear, hear.) Ido not wish to 'sprees altogether a want of confidence is Austria ; but I think it would be a considerable support to her fail ing virtue to know that there would be as English Beet hovering about the Baltic. (Hear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL—Mv lords, I will say but one word on this subject. Surely there is not a noble lord who would imams, that, having received this information in the course of to-day, I could come down to this house, and on my responsibility make any declaration which would hied this country, or would be likely to lead it into war. When anything is to be done it most be maturely coesidered. What her Majesty's government have done bas bees to negotiate, but also to maintain themselves at liberty to act with other powers, or if they thought fit to act aloe., if the honour and the paramount interests of Iteglatid should require it. My noble friend (Earl Cray) said that be has read these papers with humilia tion. .[Earl tlait—•• Hear, hear./ I believe these perms spinets spirit with the amend opinion of the country. U my noble friend thinks that the government ought to have sand diffmeotly he can at now move • vote of censure. If he thinks that government ought now to set differently —if he thinks that without negotiation, without hearing what these powers propose, and without allies, we ought at once to rush into • war, he has only to propose • resolution to that effect. All I can say is that the government will consult according to their own °pinker the honour and the interests of this conatry. They will not make war when the safety and the interest, the integrity, and the independence of Denmark can ire otherwise secured; but they will not neglect any means by which that safety and that independence sad integrity can be secured. With regard to the fleet, tea days or a fort night ago, that we might be able to have it at command, it was ordered into one of the home ports, so that any orders given to it might be at ouce obeyed. If it were thought necemary to give any omen to that fleet it would be at once within our reach ; and certainly I should not expect that any fleet of Austria or of Prawn would venture to encounter • squadron of ours. _ _ The matter then drropyped, end The house sd;oorned aliortly after hall-put six o'clock.

THE RAILWAY SCHEMES OP THE METROPOLIS. Mr. 31. GIBSON rose to call the attention of the hones to the report of the select committee on railway echemee within the limits of the metropolis, and to move that the following bills be not proceeded with io the present us lion, y:•_.:—Victoria Station and Thames Embankment Railway. Oxford-street and City Railway, London Main Trunk Undengronod Railway, Charing-cross (Northern) Railway, Charing-cross (Western) Railway, Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway (Extension to Charing-crom). London Union Railways, Tottenbam and Parriagdoootnet Railway ; that the fees which bad been incurred io Inspect of the mid bill. be remitted ; that the said report be re ferred to all select committees to which any railway bills within the limits of the metropolis might be referred. The two tint schemes of the eight baring been rejected, On the question that the Loudon Maui Trunk Under ground Railway he re)jected, Mr. AYR?ON said he should move that this whams be not rejected. It had long been a question of grave coo indention how they should remove the people from the crowded state in which they were compelled to live to the plates, when they were compelled to labour sad also to a lees crowded part of the metrOpolia This scheme proposed to connect London with Bow Com mon, where large bodies of pinions might be comfortably located, and after looking at the reports of the House of Lords. the Metropolitan Board' of Works, and other bodies who had fully investigated this subject, he found that this scheme, so far from conflicting with these reports, was entirely in accordance with all their requirements. He would also observe that this scheme was rejected by the joint committee because it competed with another line ; but Mee* the date of the report that other scheme had been withdrawn, and consequently if this scheme should be re jected many very important interest. would be disregarded. With regard to many of the tight hooonrable gen tleman's oiteetratioas he (Mr. Ayrton) might at once state that the tight bon. gentleman was in error. The most remarkable circumstance was that the most im portant recommendatioos of the joint committee would have been accomplished by the line they had rejected. This showed how imperfectly they had considered the project. before them. The line he advocated was the only line which would hare given the working dames access to the bout of the metropolis from the suburbs, in which they preferred to reside. The bon. and learned member concluded by repeating the words of his motion, which was put and sweetie/IL Sir J. PAXTON proposed that the Charing-cross (Western) Railway be omitted from the list, and • abort , discussion followed. The amendment was, however, uega. cived without a division. Mr. CRAWFORD beet moved to add, after " Tottenham and Farringdonatrest Railway," the words, " and so much of the Metropolitan District Railways Bill No. 33 as refers to the proposed works situated to the eastward of Black friamheidasi, together with the Metropotiten District Rail. ways Bill No. 34."

Mr. HEADLAM said, in reply to the first part of the boo. baronet's question, that he bad to inform him that her Majesty never did confirm the finding of the court-martial, as her Majesty was never recommended so to do. It was confirmed by Sir Hugh Rose, in Jodi... under the authority he had for that purpose. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the second question, he had to state that the date was the 13th of July last In reply to the third question. he found by the blue book that the proceedings were laid upon the table of the house on the 3rd of July, long after the court martial had been confirmed in India, but before her Majesty was advised to pardon Mr. Smiles. In answer to the last question, be had already stated that her Majesty bad not untamed the court-martial ; but the grounds upon whir,b Mr. Smelts was pardoned were these—lint, that the trial was nos a fair one—Cheer, hurl—partly from the manner is which the witnesses were arrested and kept in close custody during the trial. it was also considered that the charges were irregular, it being uncertain what was the precise crime with which he was charged, so that bad the trial taken place in this country the finding would not haus been cos. firmed.

PZ.RGUSSON aakee wbat was the date at which the Quote waitreceramexted by the JedvAdvaest•Osairal be Nana wabses of the Mow Ossrt Martial by which GOVERNMENT TELEGRAMS. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of Stale for Foreign Affairs whether a despatch from Earl Russell to Lord Bloomfield, at Vienna, of 18th Jansen, 1864, to which an answer was returned by Lord Bloom fi eld, of the date of the 19th January, from Visalia, printed among the Danish paper., was sent by telegraph from this country ; and whether the Secretary of Suite for Foreign Affairs would have any objection to direct that in future despatches sent by telegraph should be distinguished from thine sent by the ordinary means of communication, in order that the dates of deapatches might correspond with the facts of their transmission and answers, and be at once intelligible to members of the house, without further explanation. Mr. LATARD regretted that he wan unable to explain himself clearly to the bon. member the other evening. He would. however, again endeavour to do so. Three de. snatches which were published were sot sent by telegraph, but they were forwarded upon a short telegram sent in cipher. Each telegram was afterwards expanded into a lull despatch. in order that the house might have the whole matter before them. For the very obvious reason that telegraphic menages must always be very short, they could not be produced rurally in their original cipher. Cue was however taken, when acknowledging a dispatch, to state whether it was telegraphic or not. The hon. gentleman would find from the answer whether the original despatch was sent by telegraph or not. If, for example, it was con sidered seowary to wad a despatch from London to St. Petersburg, with a view of receiving an &sewer co the same day or the day afterwards, it was evident that it must be sent by telegraph. Mr. D. GRIFFITH complained with warmth that the hon. member had not answered his question. He had given notice of a question which he wished to be answered by the hon. gentleman's chief, and he presumed that the bon. gee tleinan would have come there to answer it on behalf of his skid. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. L YARD said he really did not know what answer he could again give. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to him quite impossible to make the hon. member understand. (Loud laughter.) In the very despatch to which he alluded the avower stated that that despatch was telegraphic. It would he an insult to the semi of the house to explain that a despatch sent to St. Petersburg, which was replied to on the same day or the day afterwards, must necessarily have been I transmitted by telegraph. (Hear.) Mr. D. GRIFFITH again nee amid loud cries of " Order." I ask the Under Secretary of State whether he is prepared to answer this question on the part of the Se cretary of State or only on the part of himself! (Renewed arias of "Order,"during which the hon. gentleman resumed his seat.) STATEMENT OF PRINCE GORrACHAKOFF. Mr. HUNT asked the First Lord of the Treasury for an ezplazation of a praise which occurred in a despatch from Lord Napier to Earl Russell, dated January 6, 1864 (No. 644 of the papers on the affairs of Denmark, kn.), in which the following language is attributed to Prince Gortachakoff : "The four governments (4. e., England, Roads. Prussia, and Austria) happily now thinking and acting in harmony on a question still more important than that of Holstein and ffieswig, ought not in this matter to be split into two camps opposing each other." Lord PALMERSTON—I rather conclude that the ques tion to which Prince Gortachakoff alluded must have been the decision of these governments with regard to the invita tion to attend a general European congress. There was no other question to which he could have referred, or ou which any concord was established. If the hoe. gentleman means to inquire, as I suppose he does, whether there was any combination by these four powers against France, I assure him there was oo ground whatever for any such supposition. ((kiss of " Hear, bear.") THE DANISH PAPERS. Mr. DISRAELI—Sir, I rise to put the question to her Majesty's government of which I gave notice yesterday. It relates to the papers respecting the affairs of Denmark. The house is aware that the last, and, u we now under stand, the final instalment of papers respecting the affairs of Denmark come up only to the termination of January. Since that period very importent trans.ctions and incidents have occurred in these matters. We have had an announce ment, for instance, of ■n armistice, afterwards of a con ference, and finally. among other matters of moment, the Memoir of Jacked. The bowie will find in the papers now before ua no official record whatever of these events. The boom does not *snow why the armistice and the conference were proposed, what objects were contemplated in the pro positioos, and why thou propositions failed. What I wish to know from her Majesty's government is whether it is their intention to submit further papers on the affairs of Denmark to the home, and if no, how early they will be in the heads of members! (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON—The only matter which causes delay in presenting farther papers is the negotiations or communications sow going on with regard to a conference. Ac soon as these communications are brought to a close ate way or the other, which I should hope will be is a very abort time, further papers will be hid before parliament, bringing the correspondence up to the period of the clue* of the negotiations now going oa. THE EASTER RECESS. Lord PALMERSTON—It will be, perhaps, for the con ventions of the house, that I should state Unit we propose to adjourn on Friday, the 18th inst., until the following Monday fortnight, for the Festerrocese. MR. H. B. SHERIDAN AND THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. Mr. H. 11. SHERIDAN—I wish to claim the indulgence of the house while I make a brief statement of a personal nature. (Hear, boar.) I have been reminded that I omitted to reply last night to one point which was urged against me by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The right hon. gentleman stated that some six years ago 1 was auditor of one of the insurance companies to which he referred, and t►at in my capacity of auditor, I presume the right hoe. gentleman intended to ray I pared accounts that ought not to have been paseed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQTTR—I beg to call the hon. gentleman to order. 1 never made any inch statement. Mr. SHERIDAN—I am very glad to hear it. I beg to explain that air years ago I twice acted u auditor to the company in question, and that I subsequently withdrew from the office of auditor. That company was then in • position which enabled it to meet all its policy obliratioes. (Hear, bear.) Up to this moment it has, I have ascertained, met all its policy obligations, sod that all its policy -holders are secured. Therefore, so far as m counezion with that society six years ago is concerned, t he functions which as auditor I discharged, were not discharged with refsrence to • 'moiety which was not able to meet Its financial obliga tions. (11w, heir.) THE REVISED CODE. Mr. ADDERLEY moved the following resolution : "That grants made from the Treasury to schools for the working cleanse should not in every case be reduced by the whole amount of all endowments." After observing that endowments bad always been looked upon as local contri butions, he proceeded to examine the reasons assigned by the Treasury for adopting the p r i nci pl e o f excluding en. downbeats, under the minute of 1463, insisting upon the in. justice of the principle. He next showed that the theory of the Treasury broke down in practice, adducing examples ; and then indiatted the results and cooseluences of the minute as far as it could be carried out, contending that it was in direct contravention of the original minute. la oonclusion he expressed his own opinion as to what was the right coulee to be adopted in dealiog with private endow ments, and suggested that before new minutes of council on education were laid before the house their purpose should be explained, after due notice given. The motion was seconded by Mr. F. POWELL, who argued at considerable length in condemnation of the course of action taken by the goveriment, which be con tended was not only in contravention of the roles of general policy, but opposed to the recommendations of the Charity Commissioners. Lord HENLEY supported the motion, urgiog the ill effects of the minute upon the church schools, the managers, masters, and scholars, in the runt districts, where educa tion in almost monopolised by the Church of England. If the object of the miouta wu emmomy. it was, be said, bad economy ; it would hare the *Wain effect of discouraging endowments. Mr. MIT}'ORD, u • manager of a school with a small endowment, protested spinet the minute as tending to alter and unsettle the arrangements under the revised oode. to discourage rural echools throu‘bout the country, and to confiscate present sod check future **dormant.. He suggested an alteration in the wordiog of the resolution.

Mr. LOW after some remarks in self.jitatification, sea minded the house of the original object of these grants— namely, to aid voluntary local exertions. The question seised by Mr. Adderley, be observed, was whether endow meets should sot be regarded as voluntary local oontribu. tioss. The rule complaised of was not adopted by the Corn mittee of Council without greet coesideratioe or without reason. They cam* to the emaciation that endowments were not to be considered as local voluntary contributions. They were not local in their nature ; they might be in stock 'or in the funds. The government was bound to look to the interests of the taxpayers. He must say, for himself, that he did not desire to see , money devoted by will or deed to the foundation of schools for the working poor. At the same time, he (Mr. Lowe) thought be bad gathered from the details that there was a strong feeling in the house that something ought to be done for the n po:?r classes achools. (fle i ef i; • bear.) H e had th ere f ore e ying that if right boo , friend *hose to press his motion be (Mr. Lowe) was willing to accept it. ("Hear, bear," and a laugh.) He could not pretend to say that in doing so he was rushing any great sacrifice ; hot, at the same time, be did not mean to accept the resolution in any mere illusory manner. (Hear. hoar.) He would lay it before the Com. mitten; of Council on Education, and endeavour to arrive at some arrangement which should prove satisfactory. He did not gather from the debate that he was desired to treat theme endowments exactly as local oontributioes. The chief complaint seemed to be that the committee dealt with en dowment. too exclusively as such, without taking col lateral circumstaocee sufficiently into oonsideratioe . (Hear.) What it struck him they should do was this : he thought they might add together the endowments, and apply to that the principle of the maximum. He thought that was the principle which they might embody in the minute, and althonght it might not satisfy all, it would prove the de sire of the government to meet all reasonable objections. He hoped that is the course of the week he would be prepared to lay on the table the new minute, which he trusted would give satisfaction to the house. Mr. G. HARDY mid the right hon. gentleman had an pounced his inteetion of issuing a new minute. He trusted that before hedid so the right hon. gentleman would have his instructions from his superior officers, and that when it was laid on the table of the house it would be the result of their deliberate judgment. The motion was then put and agreed to. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK (:1 RCM. —Norm( AMTTON, MARCH 8. Lord Mot Justice Oockburo aid Mr. Justice Orsesples came from Leicester yesterday. The case that has of late excited so much attention hal pee off. It was a charge of wilful =ado' against Williams Wm:deg Ball, a man 47 years of age, and described me a butcher. Mr. Serjeant Tozer, Mr. Douglas Brows, mid the Hos. O. C. Verona, appeared for the prosecution • end Mr. Q.C., Mr. Keene, Q.C., end Mr. Mete-site for the prisoner. In the veer 1830 the deceased and suppos ed murdered woman, Lydia Atley, was lining at the village of itiugstead, in this county, obere also resided the prisoner. For some time an adulterous intercourse had been carried on between them, the prisoner being a married man, and in July of the year abovementioned the woman was near her Mafial. meet. Oo the twenty-..cod of the month she was last seen alive at about nine at night, in company with the pri soner. They were heard talking in h:s orchard, the wit. moms who beard the talk saying that she was refusing to charge any one else with being the father of the child. Shortly ' after poem were beard proceeding from the direction where the talking bad been going on, but no one seems to have attempted any interference, or to have attached im portance to the circumstance. As we have before said. front that moment she was never again seen alive. Search was made, but in a few days a letter arrived in the village from • man &Of orthamptou, saying that he had seen her walking with a men in that town a day or two after the 22nd of July. This being made public had the effect of 1 to some extant lulling the suspicions of the villl i ens, and ultimately, although then, was a very strong f ' that there had been foul play, the matter was at rest. n the meantime the prisoner removed to Thrapstoc, established himself as • butcher, and at the time of his arrest was carry ing on agood and thriving trade. So many years had now pealed that he might well have imegieed himself safe from any accusation in reference to Lydia Atley • but in the ' month of February last some labourers were digging& piece of waste land by the roadside, near the orchard before men tioned, and about 18 inches below the surface they came upon the skeleton of a woman. It was lying face down wards. The bones were collected, and on ex amining the jaw a tooth was miring from the back of the mouth ; a remarkable circumstance, for but • few days before she disappeared, • labourer, the villseedentist, had extracted one at her request. No sign of any child could be discovered. The man who wrote the letter before mentioned now comes forward, and says he wrote it at the request of the prisoner, sod the story as to seeing the deceased in Northampton was utterly untrue. It will be Nee that the case is still only One of great sus picion, for beyond the tooth no farther identification of the skeleton can be arrived at. It low ap pears that where the bones were found Gipsies have bees in the habit of burying and, as if further to embarrass the case for the pro secution, lest Saturday, in the same piece of ground, a few feet below where the *appeased remains of the woman were found, another skeleton, that of a man, was foiled, and fyesterday two more were discovered. These are the short acts of the cal.; and au investigation having taken place before the magistrates, the prisoner was committed for trial To-day • bill was prepared for the consideration of tbe. grand jury, but before it was sent to them, Mr. Serjeant Toser stated that he hod consulted with the solicitor for the prosecution ad the counsel with him in the case, and the result was that, seeing how incomplete the ease was at present against the prisoner, he should ask that the recognizences of the witnesses be discharged and no bill prepared. The effect of this would be that, in the event of any fresh evidence coming to light the prisoner could spin be apprehended. Mr. Justice Crompton thought the course proposed • safe and wise one, and made an order accordingly. TURNPIKE TIWSTS. Mr. O. CLIVE moved the appointment of • select com mittee to Inquire into the expediency and practicability of closing turnpike trusts. He said that the present position of tolls was cumbersome, expensive. and inconvenient, and that it was very desirable to put an end to such a state of things. Mr. SCOURFIELD said he should be sorry if the hoe. member interfered with the turnpike trusts in South Wales, which were under • special act of parliament, which worked extremely well. . . . Mr. CLIVE said he wiShad the inquiry to apply to such turnpike trusts in England and Wales as were not under special act of parliament. Mr. P. W. MARTIN supposed that the remark of the bon. member applied also to the Ids of Wight, when the turnpike trusts were under a special act. The motion was then agreed to. THE PROTOCOL OF WARSAW AND THE TREATY OF LONDON. Mr. XLVOLAKE mo;edfi;acOpiof papers dated is the Warsaw 1851, 1852, or 1853. relating to the protocol of Warsaw or to the treaty of London of the Bth May. lal2, and saked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether an answer dated 24th May, 18.12. was not ad dressed to 51. de Bills by Baron Bruonow, and if so whether the same was communicated to her Majesty's government! The hon. member said that he was given to understand that some papers would be produced, but only a selection. He waa aware from the usual sources of information that something like an understanding had been come to in another place between the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Lord Palmerston with regard to the description of papers to be produced. He did not complain of that arrangement, but he trusted it would not be considered beyond his province to ask for papers which seemed to be required for the infor mation of the house. Mr. LA YARD said that the correspondence relating to Danish affairs during the four years referred to was of a very voluminous character, but he hoped he should be able to lay upon the, table all that part of it which related to the transactions to which the hon. gentleman referred. He should remind the hon. gentleman who spoke of the protocol of London and of the Germans, as confounding the treaty of London with the protocol, that they were two distinct instruments—and that the treaty was a solemn document entered into by the great powers of Ramp.. As regarded the note of M. de Bills to Baron de Brunnow, it had never been officially in the possession of the government, and be concluded that the hon. moul t:wes former question related to the oorreepondsooe between her Majesty's government and the Prussian, Austrian, end Danish ministers. The note of M. de Bille, however, bad been published at Copenhagen ; and having on inquiry ascertained that the published note was authentic, be would, with the consent of the Danish minister, lay it upon the table of the house, notwithstanding that such a course was somewhat irregular. (Hear.) The motion was then agreed to. -- SCHOOLS OF ART. - ----- Sir S.

COURTS OF JUSTICIARY (SCOTLAND) BILL On the motion to pinto committee on this bill, Mr. LESLIE objec ted , on the ground that the bill bad not been espl . wsed and that sufficient time had not been given to consider its provisions. Sir W. DUNBAR said the bill wu merely intended to remove some doubts which bad arisen uto the jurisdiction of the courts of Scotland in certain cues. After some discussion the house divided— For the motion B4 Against it The house then wait into committee on the bill. Sir J. HAY protested against the bill being proceeded with in the absence of many of the Scotch members, and when no explanation of d. nature and effect tied been giveo. He therefore moved that the chairma n r e p or t Pe ll: " Motion was agreed to without a division, and the house resumed. The Enclosure Bill, and the Bills of Exchange sod Promissory Notes (Ireland) BiU, were severally read a third time and passed. The house adjoarned at a quarter to twelve o'clock. Sir C.

A despatch to the New York journals dated Port land (Maine Feb. 23, gives the following account of the loss of tbeiCaea stesmehip(Boltemian, a brief account of which has already been published in our telegraphic intalligeoce: It is estimated that the number of saved in all the boats is 29+4, leaving 19 to be accounted for. The crew were nearly all saved. The lamptrimmer, Peter Hart, and the engineer's storekeeper, name noknowo, are supposed to be drowned. All the remaining otfioers and crew are isle. Portland, Feb. 23, Evening. Nothing relative to the passengers can be obtained yet from the check list. Many of the saved have not yet cocas forward. From reports of passengers I gather the following list of the lost :—Ellen O'Connor, aged 23, of Portland ; Pat Purcell, aged 26 ; his wife, 25; his child, Eliza B, and an infant, of New York • Patrick Cassidy, aged 25; and Jam Cass 17, of Broo klyn.yn, New York; Barbary Canavan, 4 years, of Portland; Gilbert Manley 3 years ; Jahn Manley, 10 ; and Rickard Ann* 13—all ' of New York ,• Ann Mullen, 18 ; John Mu ll en, 7, H New York ; Benjamin allichureh, 23, of New York ; Jobs Kane, 32, of Boston; John Martin. '2, of Boston ; Honors Walton, of Boston. This makes 17 in all. Mary Hoy, aged of Philadelphia, is also reported lost. Thirty-one 'have not reported, and five are saved whose names are not on the list, probably been misspelled and constituting a part of the above thirty-one, thus leaving twenty-six to report. Some may be at the Cape, too ill to come to the city, and some may be distributed about the city in charitable heeds. A force of men has been engaged this afternooe in strip ping the wreck. They have recovered 32 mail bags, as fol lows :—Ten for Montreal, three for Hamilton, six for Toronto, one for quebee, on. for Kingston, four for Port land, three for Chicago, au for Detroit, two far Boston, and two for New York. The mails were all on deck, ready for delivery, and were wubed about and overboard. The steamer lies in the same position as this morning. Our citisens have already raised for the sufferers over six hundred dollars, and have supplied them with all necentary articles of clothing. The steamship company have fed and housed the passengers, and will forward them to their destinations. . _ _ The following an some facts concerning the vessel and the lioe so which she belonged : The Bohemian, belonging to the Montreal Often Steamship Company, ran between Liverpool and Portland in winter, and Liverpool and Quebec in summer, touching at Montreal during the latter season. She is the seventh vessel her owners have lost. Among them were the Aoglo-Suon and North American, and it is understood also the North Briton, the Hungarian, and the Indian. Captain Borland supposed himself four miles off from his real position. The hue probably nailed bits as to the true position of the light. He bad been looking for • pilot, and throwing up rockets sad blue lights for half an bout, and vu going at the rata of a mile and • half so hour when the vessel struck. Half an hoer before he got soundings in forty fathoms of water, with • soft bottom. Mae of muck uperisoce in nautical matters think they recognise in the loam of the Bohemian • sewn's/tuition of the statement often made that the numerous accidents on board iron steamers are attributable. in some degree at least, to the failure of the compass to operate accurately on those vessels. It is not doubted, however, that the diMmilty may be oversews. THE ROYAL 80T1RZIOZ( TURRET SHIP. The Royal Sovereign, turret ship, was yesterday floated out of No. 3 doth, Portsmouth, in the presence of a oonaiderable number of spectators, chiedy naval officers. The Royal Sovereign was formerly a linenf-battle-ship, and we may attribute her transformatioa to her present form to the famous action between the Monitor and the Merri mac, which seemed to supply a strong argument in favour of Captain Cowper P. Coles's plan of arming ships with heavy guns, protected by cupolas, oo the upper deckoind Cap rain Cohn at once became a famous man. The Admiralty, urged by the Howe of Common., at last consented to the construction of a Monitor for the British service, and the Royal Sovereign was assigned as the email upon which the experiment we. to be tried. Altho b an unsightly ship on the water, and strangely at variance with a seaman's notion of what a man-of-war should be, there can be no doubt that the Royal Sovereign is • most formidable vemel for the purples for which she was designed.

In some parts of the county consider able damage has already been dumb) fields when wheat has been sown, sad from the tepidity with which the waters ars Dow rising, dualities. much more damage will be caused. At Newark the low lands which have hewn sown with corn are completely under water. The meadows adjoining Not tingham resemble one vast lake. Banks which have been raised for the purpose of keeping the flood out have been overflowed, and Umbers duller about. Indeed, the entire valley of the Trent is under water. Since 6 o'clock this morning the waters have risen with an almost unprece dented rapidity, and at the present time (3 p.m.) rein and snow are falling very fut. In the neighbourhood of Derby the innedation is very extensive. At Leicester also the flood at a great height, mid the water is equally high in Staffordshire.

In shipping yams business has been almost suspended, end spinners have found it impossible to make sales without a ooeoessiou oo eves the low rates marmot last Friday. Little or no business has been transacted in this class of goods, and the market closes flat, with a tendency to a still further reduction. For home trade yezes the market has been quite inactive. Prices are drooping, and hilly gd. per lb. below the rates of this day week ; but even tins reduction failed to induce business. The *loth market is in the wine state of inactivity reported last week. Buyers are wanting in confidence, sad seem afraid to execute even the smallest orders. Where any business hie been effected it hes been only possible at a conces sion in pries from the rates onrreet last week. A great number of buyers seem incapable of being tempted to operate at any reamosahle twoceasion. The market has over nearly without businese as possible, cal has passed as altogether one of the flattest bawls here for some time. The prices of cloth are practically lower, but not to the same extent quite as the prices of tern, sad mainly because stocks of cloth being light manulacturers are not pressing them to mush on the market as spinners are doing with yarns. The chief cause magical for the dames is still the uneasiness regarding the state of things on the conti nent. Ile arrivals of cotton in Liverpool and London last week are reported to have reached 46,000 hale, of which 6,000 were from the United States of America. The quan tity of cotton reported to have been shipped (and Dow at =a)tar Liverpool from India, China, and Japan is 460,161 bales ; ditto for London, 86,841 ; making a total at sea of 567,000 balsa. The prospect of these arrivals is probably somewhat affecting this market. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Limut, Nasal & —We have to report a quiet market in the Ooloured Hall this morning.
