IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.IIOIIDAY, FED. 15. Th. LORD ORANCIILLOR took ids oat on the woolsack at 5 Allot& DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE UNITED STA:MI.-ALLEGED THREATS OF WAR. Lord RUSSELL, adverting to some observations made by Lord Derby in • femme discumion, read extracts from the correepcodence wit► Mr. Adams, sod, by a comparison of dates, proved that the decision of the government u to de. tabling the iron-clad rains could not bare been influenced by any representatiess of Mr. Adams. He thought Lord Derby ought to have quoted the oorrespondence more completely. Lord DERBY denied that be had suppressed anything. He had seen the volume of oorrespoodeeoe l►id before coo greas, and therefore knew it was in this country, but he hag not read it. The passages he quoted were taken from • newspaper. He thought that some explanation was due from the American government of the extraordin►ry oir• cumataace that • despatch purporting to be addressed to the noble lord bad bees laid before Congress, notwithstaaduag that it had never bees delivered. Earl RUSSELL Having heard the noble earl say that the corresporideaos laid before Confess contained in • large volume, I concluded that the noble earl bad read that volume, but as he says be has not done so, my observant:es fall to the armed. With regard to the last question, it affects merely the conduct of the United States government towards their owe people. It ia the habit of Mr. Adams, and I think it • wise habit, to consider the despatches be receives, and to consider what it is his duty to do, and at the mane time to perform that duty with as mach rennderation as possible. I ran oel/ eir sj that Mr. Adams has parried that eoune from the •t a nieg. So far as Mr. Adams is concerned, oar intercourse a oalculated to maintain friendly relations be tween the two governments. I cannot at present see that it is at all secelearf to desire Lord Lyons to call Mr. Seward'a attention to the despatch which be has published. The noble earl says the despatch has produced a certain effect in that couatry, but that effect will be removed when it ss discovered that this dispatch has not been cornmeal _ . _ The Earl of DICILBY—I tog to say that I single iostant threw set this slightest imputation against Adams. On the contrary, I thought he exercised a wise discretion, and that from the first be- showed himself a friend to both countries in the course he pursued, and, therefore, it is quite unneceseary for the noble earl to enter into any defence of Mr. Adams on the present mask°. The noble earl quite surprised me by saying. with regard to the despatch of the I Ith, that Yr. Adams had communicated to him the substance of it — Furl EITSIE.L LfNo. --- Wliat I said was, that if there was any substantial grow he communicated it to me. The Earl of DERBY—Then how did it happen that Laving oome to the daisies on the 3rd to stop the iron clad rams, the noble earl wrote on the 4th to my that the =UK was ander the oonaideratinn of her Ifsjaity's go vernment I Earl R USSELL (who spoke very Indistinctly) was under stood to reply that Mr . Layard had written to tt.e Trea sury, sad of course the matter was alder the coosideration of the Treasury, and be (Earl Russell) being in Scotland at the time, some time elapsed before Mr. Adams was informed. The Sfarquis of CLANRICARDE said he hoped govern ment would me the necessity of producing the COI rrespoo deace. Afters fey words from Earl GRANVILLI, the solneet dropped. DENMARK AND BLESWIG. Lord CAMPBELL that roes pursuant to notice, to cell the atteetioe of the house to the treaties sad conventions in which the porar• of Sleowig hu been guaranteed to Denmark by Groat Britain. Lord RUSSELL did sot wish to continue a discussion on this subject when there was so quietism immediately before the house. The most recent declarations of Prussia and Austria proved that those powers did not contemplate a domembermeet of Denmark. Austria and Prussia were conscious, as indeed all the principal powers must be, that the Duchies could not be transferred to any other power than the King of Denmark without the geared consent and &meat of all the great powers. He admitted that the go vernment must make up their mind, with the best advice they could obtain, as to the binding nature of the treaty guarantee of 1720 ; but for the sake of the peace of Europe everything that could be done by conference and negotia tion ought to be done before any step was taken which might produce as attitude of hostility between any of the great powers of Europe. The subject then dropped. Their lordships adjourned at half-past six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, Fa& 15. The Ser.uma took the chair at 1 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

TIM QUM 0. must After oar report left yesterday, Mr. George John Armitage wee called—l am awn 22 )ears of age. I entered the navy in March, 1855. I served on board the Malacca till June, 1862. Th• defendant wee • midshipman of the same vessel. He had joined the ship shortly before I did. He wee a stranger to me. I had to reprimand Mr. Huse oa points of duty, the lass time being the 6th or 7th of May, three days before he made the charge spinet me. It was relative to a report about the dirty state of the hammocks, and I had to send Lim down three or four times about it until it wee peuparly done. I beard of say charge before the 9th, sad I believed up to that time we were on good term. 1 sever bad any quarrel with him. On the lit et October, 1861, I was the of of the watch at fipithead, and wen on the upper deck of the ship. It is contrary to rola to sit down the four boars* watch. The stern patine, where the e i lleged offence was said to have been committed with the defendant on that night, wen 12 yards from the bridge, where the sentry was posted, walking up and down. There WY nothing to intercept the sentry's view but the muse mast se be was paraiag it. It is aot true that I sat talking with House that night on the stern gretiegi as alleged by him in hia evidence before the court-martial, or that] our. mined the offence attributed by him to is.. No sack transaction, or anything like it, ever took place between to on that night or at say other tune. Mr. Ds Lisle is here to-day. I have not was Mr. Jackson. Cromozatnined—l have not aubpoensed them I should think defendant was about 16 at the time stated. lam not certain if any question was asked of the defendant oa the cent-martia l relative to the hammocks. I think it is to be found in Mr. De Lisle's evidence. In my written de fence lam not acre if it le resatioeed. I had to hurriedly draw it up during the nightlaad I had net had any sleep for hours before. Captain Napier was called to character, but the court reload to allow him to be .mined os other matters se I wished. The defendant wee is my watch about October, bat I don't know if he hurt the austral watch of the let of October. He belonged to my watch from the let Crabber till the 16th November. There is no record of the midshipmen's watch. I can't kod any deck log of that date which would be in the midshipman's band. writing. It is deposited with the secretary. I can't lay_ if the quarter-deck awning wee up and acmes the bridge. The sergeant generally keeps an account of the pot* of the moony. I could not discover who was she sentry that eieht. By the jury—lt is very unlikely the awning was up at Bpithed on the let of October. On the 3ttk of May I asked fur an investigation. having been pat nadir arrest on the 10th. Mr. De Lisle, I think, joined the ship the be. ginning of October. Reozaminal —The ship was at sr between Durant and Malta when I that heard of the amps. We reached Malta shout the 30th May. I had no knowledge of say steps having been takes for • coart.martisl ; and as I was nadir wt the *airy would not be no prompt as 1 I spoked for an early investiptioa. Yen. t Ballaatioe—Did myth* of an improper dander ever take place between sad Mr. De Lid" Mr. Chambers objected. The t had nothing to do with Mr. De Lila. He was not indicted for coespiracy, but perjury in one particular statement Wore the ouzel martiaL The Laid Chief Justice mid that amid sot be setend on oe that Ledictment. Mr. fierjeaStWaatias said his object in patting the questioo was to obtain as easter to enable the dates to call _Kr. De Lida The quention wan overruled. The prosecutor said be asked the °oast toartal to call ell the mannes, far be had nothing to fear from any moo. He called several of them, but there wee an impetigo., on the part of the court, and he desisted from adlieg than all. He wished to put nestiors to Oaptain Name, after he bad spoken to , bat the smut mould sot permit it because his name was not in any list of wittiness. Lieutenant Prows*, first lieutenant of the Ifelerts—The duty of the sentry is to look out gertrafis sad art there are DO irregularities on deck. The duty at the corporal of the watch ta to visit the decks and the retries, and te tr port to the oflia rof the watch every fall-hoer, or every boar. The quartermaster's duties extend over the quarter deck, to keep the blowhole lights trimmed, ha., sad also to report to the officer of the watch. I never saw eaytkiag peculiar is the prosecutor's and dotoodmat's masa to each other. Croetwismined —I war oe board the ahip at the la& of October. Sergeant Piddles posted the metrics. The de teedaat bore s good character for trethfalues, sod he slated woo the court.routial. Wm. Towles, 004 of the muter, at Wee, John Charters, Beejemin Tippets, and Thomas WONG% the three quarter rumen, deposed that they had never sees the defendant and the prosecutor setting as the stern patina. A number of the marine arbilary and menus who were on board the Masora on the Ltd °debar wen called, and stated that they ware more or leis espied in the watch, bat that they did not see the pressman, and the defeedant seated roe the stern gratinp with a nag ever their legs. or User any altercation between them, as deposed to by the defendant before the eourtnesetial. Some of them ad mitted is euminetios that they had last their good car duct stripes for droakeasesa, sad others had been punished for sleeping, skulking, and slackness of duty as watch, the object of which was to show they were sot so Mesta ae the prosecutor wished it to be supposed, sad that it was pos sible for the °acumen' afleged to have been eeramitled without their seeing it. Oar marine artilleryman rid he was on one occasion permitted to leave the bridge as .fight when on watch to wuh his clothes, but it was not in board the Malacca. _ At the ormalusion of the proem:Mies. Yr. M. Chambers submitted that, soormaing to the known roles re indictments for perjury, there ins here me evidence oa which to go to the jury. The menet rule was, that two vitamins were aecessary to coatradict the party charged with perjury. That role had bees somewhat altered, bat stlll ft had not been beyond this, that than nest be ace tritons to corroborate the prosecutor upon some material matter, so as to show that it waa impossible—sot that it was ha probable--Wt the statement mad* by the defendant was incorrect.

EWART asked the Ueda, Secretary of State for War whether any British taker, or offices', bad been sent to study and report upon the recent applications of and int. provements in artillery adopted in the war in the United States and in Denmark. The Martinis of HARTDIGTON said that tier since the war broke out in the United States, the War-office had received from Lord Lyme frequent as to the progress of seism* in the construction of artiT ris em , and of experiments with all new guns manufactured by government of the United States. It being toned, in a short time, that Lord Lyons wee unable to supply such es curate and detailed inform►tion as appeared necessary, three officers were Dent out for the purpose of investigating mid reporting to the War-offios, in the fullest manner pos sible, all the improvements and alterations which had taken place in artillery science in the United States. In September, 1864, a eommissioe, of which Sir J. Mitchell was president, visited Denmark, and inspected the defences of the country and the artillery thee in use. But it had not been con sidered neceseary to send oommissioners either to the Danish or Premien armies since the commencement of the pretreat war. FJSPENBE3 OF THE CRAWLEY COURT-MARTIAL. Lord HOTHAM inquired from what feud the expenses of the late oonn.martial at Alderehott would be paid ; whether the house would be asked to gnat money for that purpose; and, if so, when such grant would be proposed. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said would not be aseemary to lay upon the table of the home fey suppleinen• tal estimate for the purpose of dawn, the expanses Goa. meted with Colonel Crawley's trial. Mae expenses were not defrayed out of any particular vote ; they would be spread over several votes taken lest year. Thus the expenses of the witnesses would be chargeable to vote No. 1., the travelling expenses would go upon vote No. 2. lodgings upon vote No. 4, and only the special exputess connected with the trial itself wou ld fall upon vote No. 6. If there should be any excess, that axons would be oontrilxited iu the usual way. It would not be neossoary to ask the house to raise any special amount. Then would be no objeotioa on the part or the government to give the return of the expanses it the Roble lord would move for it. PETITION FROM MALTA. Sir G. BOWY ER mired the Under Seerelary for the Colonies whether her Majesty's government had received an important petition from Malta, askingjor reform is the colonial governmeot? Mr. C.

It bad only just been re ceived, and bad respired mat ambit masidsration from her Majesty's government THE PROPOSED ARMISTICE IN DENMARK. Mr. DISRAF.LI—Sir, in the total =ems at papers relat ing to the state of our foreign relations, lam obliged to trouble bar Majesty's government with more questions than I should otherwise wish. I and's-Mood the other eight from the noble lord the First Minister that bees Majesty'sgovere. meat bad =do a proposition of sa armistice between the contending parties in Denmark. It will be wormiest to know whether her Majesty's government have received any answer to that propeatiee, especially u, from the coelldest tone of the noble lord, it appeared to have bete made under very favourable circumstances. (Hear.) Mr. LAY ARD—Sir, is the 'below of the noble lord, I ley vegan to mower the question put by the right hen. gentleman. I may state that aa answer has been received by her Majesty's government, that that answer is not satistactory—(ironitel cheer from the opposition)—and I have no reams to believe that say armistice is likely to be entered iato at the precast time. (Hear.) THE lONIAN ISLANDS.-FIITMO OUT CRUISERS DT LIVERPOOL. Mr. GREGORY begged to ask the hoc. gentleman tho Under Becratuy for Famine Affairs three wisdom of which be had given him notice—whether he was prepared to lay on the table of the boom, copies of all communications which bad been mad* by the GPM gomarasat so to the demolition of the fortresses is the Imam bleeds ; also of all ommuoicatione which had been received from the time protecting powers on the sam subject. He further wished to pot • question with reforest* to a rumour which pre vailed at Liverpool, but in which be himself pat so faith. The rumour wee that vessels, or a vassal, were Wag 'Mod oat at that present maws* is Liverpool, or ems other British port, with a view of mustang the Alabama, Ma much as the Americana themselves could not succeed in capturing that vesseL He wished to sib his lion. friend whether be had received any information on the subject, and whether he considered that the moo protostioa aauagght to be extended to a country to which !we had bolligonot rights, as had been exercised oa behalf of the Federate? (Chem.) Mr. LAYARD—The treaty on the subject of the maim of the Liaise Islands has not been signed. It has boon mot to Athens, sod we shall shortly know if the Greek govern ment agrees to that treaty or sot Until the treaty bra been signed. we cannot lay the correspoisdorms an the table. In reply to the mood question, the only informatics I have received is from what I have soon in the newspapers, which thernestres suggested that this may be a wily contrives°, cm the part of the Co Confederates. (A laugh.) Of come the law will be applied equally to ess party as to the other. (Chem.) THE MURDER OF MR. GRAY. Mr. FITZGERALD, is order that the house might know whew they might expect an answer to the dispatch relative to the murder of Mr. Gray. begged to ask what was the date of hatclespateh, ta d !rhea it was mat. Mr. LAYARb Will he had only received *Mies of the hoe. gentleman's question a few minutes ago. He had swat op to the Fareigiverdlee to meartais the date, bathed not yet received the information. He bawd the ham gentle man to repeat the question to-marrow maisday). INSANE PRISONERS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Oa the motion for the wood reeding of this bill, Mr. G. HARDY stated that in his opinion the bill did sot provide as adequate remedy for such • case se that of Townley, whbeh bed given rise to its iutrodsetios. He suggested that the bill should be left u it wan, so far se paean seeitonosd to penal servitude were concerned ; bet in the case of potions sentenced to death alleged to be is mer a communion should inns, or some public joilicial inquiry should take place into the mental state of such persona, and We might be made quite coesistint with the exercise of the prerogative of the crown in relanmes to the commutation of sesiteeees. Er. MAODOMOOR was of opinioo that the existing law did not take away the diarretloo of the fierretary of abste ' to act in latch cease as that of Townley, and therefore the present bill was not necessary to give such a diametien, AU that was required was a &clinical act pettier; an end to any doubt as to the construction of the present law. Sir C. OIAGHL RN, in a maiden speech, said that he would have preferred an enactment by whicha public judicial *airy should be held in the mete to which the bill applied, but he should not oppose the 1 11111181101 . 0. 1111aosild not but object that the bill was confined to as wine It pawed there would be a di ff erence batmen law is this respect in Ireland and Scotland. The bill was further critically disarmed by Mr. ficonrleld, Mr. Digby Seymour, Mr. Hunt, Yiscouet Enfield, Mr. Montague Smith, Mr. Evans, Sir G. Bowyer, Sir F. Gobi, amid, Sir W. Jolliffe, Mr. Alderman Rose, and Sir F. Kellyiy who expressed a striate opinion against the discretionary power exercised by the Secretary of State in criminal mu after the decides of a court of law, and 000 tended that in all cognate oases to that of Tessler, supervision should be made cooly by a judge and jury ; aod therefore that the vice of the preimmt law, which gave that power of the visiting justices instead of to two oedinary justices, was retaieed. Sir G. GREY mid, with reforest* to the seggestioas which bad bees made, they would be doll considered, and as to the main suggestion, that in cases Ilk* those alder discuseioe inquiry into the state of a criminal's mind should be judicial in its nature, it was better to retain with the Secretary of State the power of deciding on the tribunal which should take cognisance of the matter, experiesoe haring show. that on inquiries before juries is conizaimiess of lunacy greet delay and uncertainty arose; at the eases time, he was rep!red to discuss in committee the propos'. tioe that the inquiry should be before a judge and jury. If he had attempted to make the law uniform in the United Kingdom it would have involved a ooesolidatioe of • etas her of statutes, and thus would have prevented the ap plication of a prompt remedy to a defect in the law of Eiralsod. THE OOLLECTION OF TAXES BILL On the motion iorthSsninadreidTaga this bill of the Caancnuos of the EnCnlnl3lll, Sir B. LEIGHTON thought that there wee sot 'laciest prevision made for vedal meetings. Mr. HENLEY did lot see say sufficient providon for the supplement iuneennents and surcharges. There wee a strict machinery for the ameennesta which were to be handed over to the collector. between April and Michaelmas, but the supplemestary ariminmente were going on through the winter quartet., and he did not fi nd provisions to meet these diEcultiee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed that there ought to be a provision for special mishap of the commianosers, and perhaps for the purpose of allowing a somewhat longer period for those meetings to take place. The general effect of the bill would be to °mask a great improvement, and aseessmeate would be made with greater rapidity. The provinoos aimed at this ha t, and further time would be gives for the • which would be beard befall the collections took place, wherein now the eollections took place before the appeals were heard, and therefore the parties appealing bad to go through another prooess—that of getting back their money if their appeals were allowed. After a few words from Major STUART, the bill was reed a second time, sad endowed to be committed on the 18th March. THE GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES BILL. This bill mai read a snood time.

The polling commenced yesterday morning at eight o'clock, is four booths judiciously placed in different district'. &eh one before the opening was surrounded by as eager crowdj sad foe some boors the police regal= adhniasios had pleoty of work before them As returns showed, Fulmar Fawcett had for some time the great majority on him aide. But this early polling oa ha behalf was only is acoardance the enthusiasm which his supporters have always shown during his candidature. He spent the lout money of say candidate ; hie meninges were all volunteers, hut worked with immoral@ will ; hie supporters all through did the mina, and so he took lip his pceition at the head of the poll dorms the earlier lacers. At tea o'clock Mr. Derma, seeing be had so further chasm, Mired, sad it wait literally mid he did go is favour of Mr. Goldemid, but slaw who would have voted for him sitteequeatly voted for Mr. Fawcett. At eleven o'clock, when the returns showed Mr. Moor to be ahead, the ethitemeet is the centre of the tows began to be very great. Some time after him retirement Mr. Dames put out bolls, saying be bad retired in ormewitiesce of " sot rewiring sup port in SCOOSAIDOII with promos' toads" to him, sad in "the belie that the liberal mine might ge t be trtumplunat.' Mr. Goldatoid also issued bills &mot the mine time, swim that he would poll to the lest, aged that Mr. Moor sad Mr. Few. . cat had exhausted their strewth." Both those .gentle men, however, coutimed to creep steadily up. The awe of the working clams for their dinner hoar and the affect of their voting was then anxiously looked forward to, espef Melly since glary number were yet holding baulk, sad it was thought, is mmesquence of the liberality of Mr. Moor's sentiments, that be might even take away • oonsiderable number of the vermin Morale who would wish to " ride the winning heree." At one &clock Mr. Moor was steadily increasing MS had. Yr. Fawcett was also patio& well. while Mr. Goidsmid had only polled some 3D odd votes during the hoar. At two o'clock the polling wee still pro porsiosately unedianpd, sad thence till the end Yr. Moor cau tioned to make way in some degree, though hut small. The last return was tuned at four o'clock, and was to the nubjoiced effect. It is from Mr. Fawcett's room, at which ally were successive returns to be malady obteined ; Moor, 1,618 ; Fawcett, 1,476 ; Gadamid, 759 ; Harper, 78 ; and Dumas. 235. As the day went cm it was expected that Mr. Goldmuid would retire, but the bills issued by him dissipated that idea. Sane feeling was 'womed spinet him last entities, aad he wee charg with ha ving been the cause of the conservative victory. In the aftersoou as itemises mob of roughs took poems non of the locality around the Town-hall, and played the most outrageose pranks with every quiet and respectable person who came in their way. Mr. Dumas eNteeed to par that way about three o'clock, and was at 0•01111114 upon. Hi hat and the hate of two friends who ex companied dim were knocked off, tad their penmen covered with the mud and slush from the street—the weather still ooetieuing wet. During the height of the row some policemen interfered with the mob, sad they sic suffered eoesiderably. Hata were destroyed by mores, sad is may mem trifling pima' injury resulted, but nothing of swim' aersgaesee has been reported. After four o'clock the whole centre of the tows was Bled with people, who evidently expected that se of decla ration of the poll would be made from the hustings. In this, however, they were disappointed, for is the moraine placards had been issued stating that the poll would not be declared till 11 o'clock on Tuesday (this morning). About 4 o'clock a large crowd emeembled at the com mittee-room of Mr. Moor. The following was the statement made by his chairman (Captain Carrie) amid enthusiastic cheers, renewed &pis sad apin when Mr. Moor left the house to drive home :—lleer, I,GO ; Fawcett, 1,453 ; Gold. sand, 781; Domes, 230 ; Harper 70.
