The Duke of ARGYLL did not think it was desirable to reposed further in that direction. Lord LYvro•a and the Marquis of CLANRICARDE having bristly addressed the house, the subject dropped.

Sir 0.0. LEWIS said that several provisional reports had been received, bat no Anal report on the subject. VISITORS TO THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. la reply to a emotion, Mr. OOWPER said that the New Palace at Westminster would be thrown open to the public on Raiders, Wednes days, and Fridays during the parliamentary recess. LUNACY IN IRELAND. Mr. BLAKE, at peat bagth, called attention to the defects in the moral treatment of insanity in the public lunatic asylums of Ireland, and to the recommendations contained in the report of the COMMiSiiOIIOIIII of Inquiry into the State of the Lun►tic Asylums of Ireland (18.56). Mr. BUTT called attention to the last report of the In spectors of Prisons in Ireland, and to the expediency of adopting measures to prevent the detention of persons nom. mated as dangerous lunatics in the common gaols in Ire land. Sir E. PEET, gave replies sod explanations upon both subjects. THE POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT. Mr. COBDEN rose, amidst loud cheers, to offer some observations on the administration of the noble lord the member for Tiverton, is relation to the legislation and state of parties in that house. After some prefatory remarks with maid to the state of parties and his own position as hem* on the question, the hon. member said— It is almost a pity that we cannot talk this matter over is private ; but I assume that if we bad a great fate day, as they used to have is ancient times, when great chiefs appeared at the head of their follower with their banners flying and their iusignia displayed ; if, I say, we had such • bit e d a y, w ith our c hi e f at our head, sad with his flag bearing our old party cry, " Economy ! Non-intervention ! Reform!" it would give oc casion to a great deal of hilarity. (Laughter and cheese.) Now of these ancient mottoes of our party I am inclined to attach the first importance to the principle of economy, be cause the other two may be said to have had for their object the attainment of that end. Now, has our party fulfilled this pledge and ancient policy of economy! Do my hoe. friends around me know to what extent we have sinned melon the true faith in this respect? Are they aware that this so-called liberal party—the representatives of econciny—have beau by far the most extravagaut govern ment—(cheers)—that has ever been known in this country in time of peace ; that we have signalised ourselves as a party in power by • higher rate of expmdi. tare than was ever kerma before, except in time of war. I don't mean only that we have spent more money, because we might possibly have gabled so much more wealth that the amount spent would have been proportionately less. But not only have we spent more money absolutely, but we have been extravagant relatively to the numbers and the means of the people. We have lately had a return laid before parliament which throws • little light upon the sub ject. It is a. report which was moved for by the hon. baronet opposite, who has taken so much interest in the subject. It is entitled, " A return of taxation per head ;" and it gives the amount paid by each individual at four different periods extending over 30 veers. In the year 1830 the taxation per head was V. 4s. 11d. In 1840 it was 1/. 18s. 2d. There you have first realised the fruits of the Reform Bill. (Ironical cheers.) In the year 1850 it was on the average 2/. ls. sd. ; and in 1860 it was 21. Ba. Id, per head, being a higher amount in taxation per head in 1860, during the existence of the present govern ment, and whilst this party was in power, than bad been known for 30 years before, in time of peace. Not only have we spent more money per head, but we were informed some year ego by the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was at considerable pies to investigate the matter, that the taxation had iaereaaed faster than the wreath of the country bad increased between the years 1843 and 1859. (Hear.) He showed that our expenditure had increased in more than a duplicate ratio to the wealth of the coun try. So that this so.ealled party of economy has been the most extravagant of the present generation. (Chem...) Now there is another illustration of this which I wish to bring home to my hon. friends. How has this money been spent. and upon what has it been spent ? I will give you an illustration of the increase which has taken place in our expenditure during the last four years; and that will enable us to compare (for I am sorry to say it will be nose. nary to make a edema breast of our shortcomings) the amount of the expenditure of this party with that of the right hon. gentleman opposite. Now, I find by the esti mate* for the year 1862-3, moved for by my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer in tin budget of this year, that the charges for the army, the militia, the navy, the fortifications, including the packet service, which was com prehended iu the estimate of the right hon. gentleman op posite, amounted together to 29,916,000/. I have also the esti mate of the right boo. gentleman the member for Bucks when he was Chancellorof the Exchequer in 1838 ; and T find that his estimate for the year 1808.9 for the same items—the army, the militia, the envy, the packet service, and the fortifications—was 21,610,01111.—(opposition cheers)—or 8,306.000/. less than our estimates. (Cheers.) lam glad to Ind that my boaourable friend behind me (Mr. Hadfield) has courage to cry," Hear, hear," is so cheerful& tone. Now in making this comparison I have included the 12,000,000/. for fortifications which we have voted this year. It is very convenient for some bon. members to put this money out of sight because it is not down in the estimates. But if this sum of 12.000,0001. is to be paid this year, surely so much is withdrawa from the available resources of the country—(hmar, hear)—and most fairly COlllO within the expenditure of the year. We have therefore increased our expenditure for these items in four years over the expendi ture of the party opposite by upwards of 8,300.0001., or at the rate of more than 2,000,(X)0/. • year. (Hear, hear.) How has this arisen? Upon what ground can it be that we have increased this warlike estimate by 4,000,0001. in the last four years, at a tine when there has been a contently-increasing tendency to peace between this country sad other powers? How has this arisen! This brings me to refer to the noble lord at the head of the goverment. (Hear, bear.) Now one or two of my friends have said to we before I begin my speech this evening. "I hope you wOO% be personal"—(e laugh)—sod I have been warmed to keep my temper. (A laugh.) Now I hope I um in a good temper—(hear, hear)—and certainly don't intent to be more personal thee I can possibly help. But the liable lord himself represents a policy. Not that I wish to absolve those who join him from their share io the responsibility. But the Chancellor of the Exchequer may not be wholly responsible for these estimates. He may have had his motives for assenting to an increase of expenditure is some directions in the hope that it may he compeosated for in other ways. No doubt amongst fifteen men acting together there must be compromises of this kind. (Hear, hear.) Bat so far as regain the comb why this expe.diture has been coming on, I cannot leave oat of sight the noble lord himself, for this reason, he won't allow me to leave him out, because be him self is always one of ehe foremost when anything of this sort is brought forward. I have no hesitation in saying I place the whole of this inn-reseed expenditure to the credit of the noble !pert. (Cheers.) I say he has been the primum mobile is this matter. (Cheers.) He has always Teen one of the foremost in encouraging expert diens for the last twenty year. (Hest, bear.) I have .• sometimes eadeanored to estimate in my owe mind what the 'noble lord has cost this country—(laughter) —ever since that Byrne bovines is 1840, which lint occasioned n per• inansot rise is oar sohimates. when in conjunction with the late Admiral Nader be onstaatly stimulated the late Sir Robert Peel, and worried him into increasing the estimates Taking ins wenn kis Chien wars, his Affghan wars, and all his expedition- here, there, and everywhere ; taking ; THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY' EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1862. also into aooount this fortification scheme, which we must I accept as part of his increased military estimates, I put the noble loni dews to have cost this country not less than 100,000,0007.—(cheers and laughter) and I think with all his merits that price is very dear. (Renewed laughter.) Well, now, how has the noble lard managed to get this expenditure increased shoe 1858 to • budget this year of more than 8,300,0004 ? By • constant system of agitation. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord a the greatest agitator I know of in favour of extra vagant estimates. Whether in this house, or at • Lord Mayor's feast, at a school meeting, at a rifle meeting, or at a mediaeval ceremony at the Cinque Ports, there has always been a cry from the noble lord of danger from France. The noble lord and his friends came into power on two grounds : one was that they would give us a better reform bill than thatofLordlerby'sgoeernment—(o pposrlion cheere)—the other, that they would keep on frieodlyterms with their neighbour. We have ended by kicking reform cut of existence—(" Hear, hear, " and laughter)--and we have heard of nothing but • cr y about invasion from France. (Hear, bear.) Now this policy of the noble lord has had two consequences. I am speaking of his policy sincerely. longer I live, the more I am convinced of men's sin cerity ; sod I do Dot accuse the noble lord of more than of having singularly misapprehended the facts. The noble lord has talked of the monomania of my boo. friend the member for Liskeard (Mr. Osborne). I won't use any harsh words at all, bat I eay that in consequence of the noble lord's idea of a French invasion—of his agitation, and his constantly keeping up thi s alarm—there has been this consequence, that it has prevented the people of this country from entering into their own domestic affairs, and it has prevented them from exercising due economy in the state. 1 do not my that the noble loot intends it, but there is a passage of a very curious work which is completely illus trative of the position which the noble lord occupies, that I cannot help reading it. It applies directly arid immediately to the case before us, but I don't for a moment suppose that the noble lord has been intentionally bringing shout the state of things which is thus humorously and ingeniously described by Archbishop Whateley in a patnphlet written by him, entitled "Historic Doubts rellitive to Napoleon Boas pas te." This book was written some 30 years ago against the sceptics, to show that pretty good arguments might be adduced against the existence of Napoleon Bonaparte. He says.—` Now it must be admitted that Bonaparte was a political bugbear, most convenient to any administration. • If you do not adopt our measures and reject those of our opponents Bonaparte will be sure to prevail over you if you do not submit it to the government, at leant under our administration, this formidable enemy will take advantage of your insubordination, to conquer and enslave you : pay your taxes cheerfully, or the tee. mendous Bonaparte will take all from you.' Bonaparte, in short, was the burden of every song ; his terrible name was the charm which always succeeded in unloosing the parse-strings of the Wiwi. And let us not be too sure, safe as we now think ourselves, that some occasion may not occur for again producing on the stage so useful a pernonap; , it is not merely to naughty children in the nursery that the threat of being ' given to Bonaparte' has proved effectual." It is not merely ignorant children in the nursery to whom the threat of Napoleon Bonaparte is perfectly successful. (Laugh ter.) So far this proves the popularity of the noble lord ; for whatground of popularity tan there be in the character of an alarmist? I am often told by my friends around me--" 014 nothing= be dope because the noble lord is so very popular." (laughter.) Assuming that popularity, I think I oaa imagine it to rest on uo other ground than this, that it is assumed he is • vigilant guardian of the national safety. (Government cheers.) I see that Archbishop Whatdy was quite correct. (Opposition cheers.) There are • good many children behind the government benches. (Renewed (cheers. But the noble lord's phantasy has done more than spend this money and put reform out of the nation's head. It has prevented en investigation into the mismanagement going on in the administration of our own navy. (Hear.) After reading extracts from French and American publica tions to prove the mismanagement of our naval resources, the bon. member continued—l have said something to account for the way in which money has been wasted on our armaments, but the present govern. meat, of which the noble lord is the head, does not confine itself to that, but is laying the ground for future expenditure. We know not to what magnitude it may grow, and I warn hon. members at this side of the house that unlearn we detach ourselves from such • policy we shall as a party rot out of existence by and by with such • load of odium that such • thing as the liberal party will never be tolerated ; it will stink in the scatrils of the people for ever after. Look, for instance, at the question of fortifications. Does anybody doubt that that is entirely the work of the noble lord? It is the price we pay for the noble lord's *bath nacy, as I suppose I may call it. But we are very much mistaken if we suppose that the expense of the fortifications is intended to end when the bricks and mortar are done with. I was told by a distinguished Artil lery officer who heard the debate in this house on the sub ject, that in his opinion the fortification scheme was sot meant to defend us against a foreign enemy ; if the enemy landed such fortifications would be an inoonvenience and danger to us i it could mean nothing but this, that they were Intended for a future excuse for maintaining 30,000 more men in time of peace than heretofore. Well, but this is done by the liberal party. (Hear, hear.) Why our children will shrink from the im putatiou that their fathers belonged to so foolish, extrava gant, and profligate a party. Again, take the affair of Chins. The charge for the China war wee stated by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his budget arch on the 3rd of April last as 7,550,0004, and Le added, which I trust will be the end strictly spmking of the charge for the China war." You hare since launched into another great war. You have gone headlong into an intervention in that country, and no one knows what it may lead to. (Hear, hear.) It is entirely taken out of your own hands and what I beer in all directions is that you will have China upon your hands as you have ladle. The Narita Clues Herald, writing on this subject, mys—" The end may not be far off ; and if any of our readers inquire what that end may be, we reply, nothing short of the oc cupation of this rich province by Great Britain." Now, when I saw the maority of this house, including a great number of that side (the opposition), led by the right hoe. gentleman the member for Cambridge, support the noble lord on the motion of the hon. member for Halifax (Mr. Stausfield). I could not help exclaiming. " Where is the conservatism of this land ?"—(cheers)—for I do not know anything more rash or reckless than not merely for the liberal party but fur the conservative party to lend themselves to such a proceeding as that. You are about to engage in war with a country to which you export about 3 per cent. of your entire exports. You are about to inter fere with the internal affairs of • country eight times as large as France, tea times se populous as France, in • state of complete revolution ; and all because the noble lord happens to be at the bead of affairs. (" No, no," and • Hear, bear.") This is one of the evils arising out of the idiosyncraoy of the noble lord for intervention. (Laughter.) The noble lord in known to have such a predilection for • filibustering—for • sensation—policy that there is not a general nor an admiral who commits an act of intervention who is not stye of the thanks of the noble lord, and who does not know that he will be backed and promoted by the noble lord. In this case of Chins, the instructions sent out by Earl Rumen against intervention were most explicit, but our representatives there knew well that they would be supported by the noble lord for the course they adopted. They have bad their reward, and this house, in an incautious moment, was committed to that rash policy. The right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his budget speech showed that he left himself with • surplus of but 150,0001. That was considered very close shaving, but to get even that surplus it was rimmed that the trueps were coming home from Tieo-tsio. They are now ordered to StIADB443, so that the surplus has altogether vanished. Looking to the state and prosperity of the revenue, looking at what must happen during the next winter I ask, is it not a most nub and lamentable dilemma into which we have rushed under the leadershipof the noble lord? (Hear, hoar.) Then there is the expedition to Canada, which is entirely due to the noble lord. (Cheers.) I know that country and the population well. I have been there more than once, and I tell you that what the noble lord did with respect to that expedition was • piece of his sensation policy. (Murmurs.) The noble lord heard before the middle of Lieber from the American Minister that the affair of the Treat occurred without the cognisance of the American government, and he bad reason to be lieve that the whole thing would be satisfactorily explained. (Cries of "No, no.") Well, then, I semme that he had DO reason to believe it. (Hear, bear.) It makes DO difference is the case. That frontier is hermetically closed up by the ice until the mouth of March, and it would be impossible for military operations to be carried on until then, and yet the noble lord hurried off 10,000 or 12.000 troops to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, many of whom have not reached Canada to this day ; and he also sent off • large supply of sledges to Canada that all the horses there I would be unable to draw—and all this hasty and irrational , proceeding was adopted before the noble lord received the answer of the Amerman government. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord thus spent • million of money, which if we had it now would 'oleo* the hearts and homes of • famishing people. It was, however, a part of the noble lord's seem tiou policy. These are the grounds why I say I do not think wean a party have any reason tocongratulate °measles* at the close of this session. (Hear, hear.) But now I want to my • word upon the relation of parties in this house. I say that the state of parties in this horns, speaking logi cally--for I do not wish to offend say one—is not an honest state of things. The noble lord is Dot governing the country by his own party. (Cries of " Hear.") I have no hesitation in telling the nolde lord that if the party opposite had aaaa 7 time within the last six weeks or two months brought forward a motion of want of confidence in the noble lord, it would have been supported by • sufficient number of hon. members at this side of the house to have carried it. (Cheers and counter cheers.) Why does not the party opposite move a vote of want of confidence? (Cheers.) Because • great number of you—(pointing to the Opposition) ban more confidence in the noble lord then you have in your own chief. (Cheers and cries of "No.") What said the right honourable gentleman the member for Cambridge (Mr. Walpole) on the occasion that he refused to stead to his guns? (A laugh.) The right hon. gentleman said that Lord Derby had stated publicly and privately that he did not wish to displace the noble lord. But have bon. members sufficiently con sidered the bearing of that declaration ! What, I ask, comes of government by party? (Hger, hear.) To whom is the noble lord respoombial o f OPreition) are iti power without Use responelhility of . ill the country allow such • stab of things to eostanue ! I believe the noble lord is as great • tory as any man in the house. The noble lord is antrespoweihie to us as • party, but you (the Opposition) step in sod enable him to carry his measures in opposition to • cousi derable portion of his own party. He is • despot ; he is irresponsible ; but low 100 will that last when it comes to be known in the country . We hoar it in private— we ought not to mince the matter , or to be mawkish about it—we hear it in the library, and in all directions, that the noble lord is liked by you better than your own chief. I believe the noble lord obstructs reform, sod spends more of the public money than the right hoc. gentleman themember for Buckiogbamshire. (Hear.) The noble lord has played the popular part, and, to use • French word, has had his clagurars of the press to tell that he has done his work well, and that he is • very popular minister. (Hear ' hear.) Let us analyse hie title to bee liberal minister. What are his acts! How does he treat his own party? Take the question of the ballot. I look upon it as far more • moral than II political question, and I believe if the conservatives had the ballot for five years they would never give it up. It would prevent violence, get rid of excitement, and is as quiet and orderly a proceeding as going to church. (Laughter.) Th e no bl e lord has ostentatiously opposed it, and put himself in the front rank of those who ridicule and throw contumely upon its advocates. Take the question of church rates. The church rate party had formerly a substantial majority in this house. Under the leadership of the noble lord that majority has dwindled down to • tie, and at but there was a majority of one against it. Take other questions in which hoe. members on this side of the Donner* interested —the Burial Bill, for instance, or the Marriage Affinity Bill, or the Grammar School Bill. All these questions are going back under the leadership of the noble lord. Why is that? Because the noble lord is very well known not to be very much in earnest about any of theee things, and therefore the conduct of the whole party becomes slack, and the principle advocated by a party loses ground. Theo there is the Patching Bill, which I' es will not be passed. I think it is wrong to pus that bill, and that you had better take the advice of the Nestor of your party, and not proceed with it. Division after division has taken place on that bill, but who ever knew the noble lord to vote against it? Then, again, there is the Thames Embankment Bill—an audacious attempt to sacrifice the interest of the many for the sake of the few. Did the noble lord devise • plan to put an end to the monstrous proposal ? No ;he merely advised that time should be given to the opponents of the measure. How does all this operate? It speaks in two ways. First, the party opposite have their own way, and next it weakens th e liberal party for the future—for the longer you sit here and allow yourselves to be treated with con tumely with respect to all questions in which you are sup , posed to take an interest, instead of growing stronger you are becoming weaker in the eyes of the public, and as such you will be regarded by your op . neon. And this oomesen tirely from the conductor the u.. • lord. (Hear, andalaugh.) But we have to consider what must be the alternative of this state of things, and I warn hon. gentlemen that the game of the noble lord is nearly played out. (Hear, hear.) I say it cannot be repeated next spring. (Hear, hea r.) It has gone on for many years, but then are many hon. mem bers who have too much self-respect to allow it to go on any longer. (Hear, hear.) Then lam asked " Would you face this alternative ? Would you like to see the conservative party in power r My answer is that I would rather see myself in opposition to the present state of things existing. (Hear, hear.) Let us be in opposition, and then we shall obtain some popular support, and we shall be able to extend our principles. But at present we are expiring as a piny under the present state of thine. We are crippled as • party. I am only stating that which must explode all over the country in • few days after the prorogation, and I repeat the present state of things cannot go 00. We must face the alternative of being in opposition. When I came into the house in 1841, I was amongst the opposition, and the late Sir IL Peel had a ma jority of 91 votes. But during the five years passed in opposition we were employed in laying a foundation of public policy and in proclaiming those principles which have been in the ascendant ever since, and which have, I firmly believe, added more to the contentment and hap piness of the people and to the power of this country than any measures ever before. (Wear, bear.) Well, that was the work of as oppoeition, and 1 believe the work will Fon again if we are placed in opposition. lew, hear.) If I am asked to compare the con. adduct of the noble lord when in power with the con duct of the right hon. gentleman opposite to him, I think the right boa. gentleman's presence is quite as desirable on the Treasury bench as that of the noble lord. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, if we go on in this way where will be our prin ciples? Where will be our party? Where are the Irish mem bers? I look with great dread to what is going on in Ireland, arid if the same thing goes on long we shall find ourselves in alliance with the Orange party--(oh, , oh)—and we shall be sent to an election with the cry of 'No popery." (Hear, hear.) It had been said that there was a conservative reac tion . • but I agree with the opinion of the noble lord the member for King's Lynn, who said it was a delusion to say there was • conservative reaction. Well, then, with such • party in power we cannot go on lung with such an administration in power. The leadership of the noble lord mocks our principles. (Hear, hear.) Let us get into opposition, and we shall get leaders who will rally us round some pnnciples. (Hear, hear.) I should have spoken earlier in the session if I could have found my voice. I have now made a clean breast of it, and if my words have any force or logic they will have weight in the country ; but if not they will fall as the wind. lam thankful that I can speak my sentiments in an ensemble where there is such a spirit of manliness, frankness, anif tolerance, and I thank boo. gen tlemen for having so patiently listened to me. The hon. nen 'demo resumed his seat amidst some cheering. Mr. NEWDIGATI and Mr. D. GILIFPTIO toes to speak, but there being loud calls for the noble lord at the head of the government, Lord PALMEBSTON rose and spoke as follows Sir, I am bound to acknowledge that the hon. gentleman who has just spoken has adopted the advice of his friends—though I feel quite sure that from his own feelings it was unne cessary—that in his remarks there should be nothing per soma with regard to me. (laughter, and "Hear, hear.") Now, whatever remarks the hon. gentleman has made upon me personally I can mature him that so far from taking them amiss I am obliged to him for them, for instead of doing me any harm, they will, I believe, do me good (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The honourable gen tleman complains that the present government has departed from those principles upon which a liberal ! government was formed, namely, peace, non-intervention, and reform—[An HON. MENDER : " And economy")—and economy. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) With regard to reform, I must be allowed to say that if that measure has been for the moment set aside, it is not owing to the govern ment, but it is owing in a great degree to the feelings of the House of Commons, and owing in a still greater degree to the feelings of the constituencies throughout the country, and most eminently owing to the course pursued by the hon. member himself and the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright). (Hear, hear.) Because there is no denying the fact that the tone and course taken by many who have advocated the question of reform have had the effect of weaning many other persons from it, and who were more noxious formerly for reform than they are now. (Hear.) With regard to the question of economy, the hon. gentleman entertains a mistaken opinion of what economy really He seems to consider that economy consists in not spending money, while I maintain it to be taking that course which every sensible man would take to provide for the wants of th e moment, and he the best means of satisfying them at the least expense and with the greatest efficiency. (Hear, hear.) Therefore it is quite irrelevant to tell the house and the country that at a given period, pow long gone by, our expenditure was so-and-so, and that our expenses for the army and navy now amount to such a sum of money, unless you goon and say that the circumstances of the world now are precisely the same as they were at the former period. (Hear.) But here I may say that the boa. member is not correct in his data.. He talked of lie estimates of 1858 beiog the estimates of the tight hon. gentleman opposite, but the hon. gentleman forgets that those estimates were framed by the government of which I had the honour of being a member, and that they were adopted by the go vernment of Lord Derby. The estimates of 1859 were the estimates of the right hon. gentleman opposite, and not those of 1858. (Hear, hear.) But it is useless to tell us what took place in 1858, or in 1835, and to say that the ex penditure of the country wee so and so, unless you can show that the circumstances of the country were similar, and that the wants of the country were not so great at the time when that expenditure was made. (Hear.) Now, if the hoe. gentleman contends that the e x p en dit ure of the country for the present year—for our military, naval, and civil sorvioe t is greater than the wants of the country re quire, there is no one who will not regret that the toes of the hon. gentleman's voice prevented him, at the time when the estimates were under discussion from stating his opinion. But I maintain that the hon. gentleman's opinion is at variance with that of the house and the country. (Hear.) The hon. member for Brighton brought the matter under the notice of the house, and he wax not supported by the house. (Neer, bear.) Now, facts are more conclusive than argumenta, and I ask is the country of opinion that our military forces or our naval forces are too great ! I maintain they are not, and I point to the abandon ment, in part, of industrial and commercial occu pampa of large portions of the people, in order that they might organise es and be properl drilled for the purpose of defending th e i r conn • try. ( Hear, hear.) That a a logical proof in their opinion that the military defences of the country, so far from having been ra i sed to a prepceterone amount, are not strong enough, and therefore they have joined a volunteer service, time and moo ey to support which they zealously afford. (R e ar, hear .) Then I set the opinion of the country against the opinion of the hon. member. (Hear, hear) I may net convince him of his error, but I think the country will be of my opinion. Then the hon. gentleman said we have Uses prodigally negligent in not adopting in time sesame to the end to be accomplished; and he said ,the government went on too long building wooden ships ; that the right hon. baronet opposite then took to building steamships ; then that the present govern meet adopted the construction of ironcased ships, and that in all these cases we were behindhand in seeing the awes sity for the alterations, and that we did not adopt sew arrangements until our friends across the water had set us as example. (Hear, hear.) Now that could ant be aeharge against say goternsessit for realise aspeaditars. It mil* be said that suxessivegoveromeets had Dot run into waking amingements far more expensive than former ones until they saw the necessity for doing so. (Hear, hear.) They all knew very well that a line-of-battle ship cost 100,000(., that a steamship cost 150,004.11., and that ao irou cased ship would cast 250,0004 ; and therefore it, could not be said that the government bad been reckless in spending the public money, but that they lied shown a I disinclination to incur large expenses. With regard to the , English cavy and the French navy, I showed oo • former occasion that we had not la many iron-cased ships built or ' building ; but I have reason to think that by the end of this Tear under the administration of my noble friend, we shall have as many or more of that class of ships at sea than our neighbours. (Hear, hear.) Well, the hon. gentleman said this is all owing to my conduct, and he add that, which I entirely agree with if it can be shown to be true, I have cost the country 100,000,000/., and that I am dear at the money. (Laughter.) Bat I enthely disclaim the origin of the measures which have produced that expenditure. I This expenditure has been the result of the judgment of the gnvernmeat, the house, and the country of what was necessary to maintain that position of this country among the other nations of the world to which she is entitled. ; (Cheers.) It is quite idle to say that the merit of this ex penditure belongs to one government or another, for it be-' longs to the whole of the nation. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman condemns my conduct by quoting a peonage from' Archbishop Whately's book. What is that book? Why it is • satirical boos, in which were plausible and false arguments to show that no such man as Bonaparte ever existed. I think the illustration recoils upon the honour. able gentleman himself. I frenkly admit that 1 I have been anxious for the honour, interests, and safety of the country, and that it has been niy object as far as possible to obtain from parliament and the country the means to guard against all dangers which might at any time come upon the country. (Hear, hear.) On that point I ill]] quite ready to go to the country and take the verdict of public opinion. I maintain that the very charge made against me is a charge of merit • but if the country think otherwise • different course wi ll be taken. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentlemen says the fortification scheme is ' a plan of mine. I admit that I have always thought the militia should be organised and the dockyards defended. The bon. gentleman may obtain the opinion of an artillery officer under the gallery against fortiticatiou, but if that gentleman bad to place himself at the head of troops, he would think it much better to he behind defences than in the open field. (Hear, hear.) Then the hon. member says that all the dif ficulties which have come upon this country in various parts of the world are owing to my meddling policy, and that those persons who are acting under the government follow the same course. Now, my be li ef is that those who employ o ffi cers in any par t of the world are bound to sup port and defend them so long as they do their best for their country, and so long as they do nothing which is deserving of blame. (Hear, hear.) This has been my principle, and I think that the opinion of officers acting in various Wof the world will bear it out. But I deny t . those officers have acted wrongly. (Hear, hear.) I will not follow the hon. member in his observations on our former relations with Chita, but I will take the most recent case. The hon. gentlen.an says we have entered on • war in China, and that we are going to put down the re bellion there. We are going to do no such thing ; but we are merely going to do this : whereas we have been at great expense in obtaining certain privileges and ports in China to which commercial men attach great importance, we are going to use the means which we possess to defend those privileges and those places in China which might otherwise be wasted and desolated, as other parts of that country have been. (Hear, hear.) We are not going to establish the Emperor of China on his throne, or to put down the re bellion, but we say certain iorts are our, by treaty, and that they must be respected by all persons. Our policy therefore cannot be called unreasonable, nor one which I think the people of this country will be pleased to censure. (Hear, hear.) The hon. member says that all these things have been caused by the present government, and that it ought no longer to pease., the confidence of the Uhouse or the country. But the hon. gentleman has not adverted to one feature of our policy which he might have noticed, viz., our neutrality in the affairs of America. There have not been wanting those who have urged us to take a part in those affairs, but we have declined to do so. (Hew.) The hon. gentleman says we are much to blame for sending 8,000 or 10,000 troops to Canada in the course of the last winter, and that it was an unneoessary and expensive proceeding— (hear, hear)—and he say s that we ought to have waited for ao IM MO. from she United States government before sending out those troops, as we were told by the American Minister that the acts of Captain Wilkes had not been ordered by his government. (Hear, hear.) But the American Minister did not tell us those acts would not be sanctioned. (Hear, hear.) He did not tell us they would be disavowed by his government, nor did he tell us that an insult to the Bntiali deg would be atoned for by a surrender of the persons taken. (Hear, hear.) Our communication, with the American Meader were not such as to justify us in not taking musette of caution. But every one must recollect the way in which Captain Wilkes was received at public meetings, in the Theatre of New York, and in Congress, and the letter he received from the Secretary of the Navy approving of his conduct. (Hear ' hear.) Then, I say, we were justified in assuming that the matter would not be terminated in • satisfactory manner. (Hear, hear.) That being the case, I hold that we should have been to blame if we had rot taken the course which we did take. (Hear, hear.) The boo. gentleman says it is impossible for troops to act in Canada in the winter. They have done so on former occa sions, and great operations have been carried on there in the winter. (Hear, hear.) But, in truth, if we bad waited for au answer from the American government, it would have been as unfair towards that government as it would have been improper in regard to the interests of this country, because it would have been misleading the American govern ment as to our real feelings in the matter. But I throk the measures which we took were most materially conducive to a peaceful settlement of the question which was raised, and 1 do not believe the house will blame the government for having determined to take that course. (Hear, hear.) I think, notwithstanding all the hon. gentleman says, so fey from being to blame. I take no exception to the manner in which be blamed us, for he said nothing that any body could take the slightest objection to ; but all he his said of me makesme really more praiseworthy than I feel I am en titled to. (Hear, hear.) When he bolds me up to the country as the man who himself led the country to mon gers' essentially necessary to their defence, who thug t ocoe i :Ltte e ti: ip er to th ce e parliamentof danger , w and of theho roused country, and who led them to measures which are economical in the greatest degree, as avoiding dangers which would be infinitely more expensive --I say when the bon. member pante that picture of me I feel that he has done me mire honour than I deserve. (Laughter.) I say that these measures are economical, because let any man—not any man conversant with military matters—that is unnecessary—but any man who reads what paws in every part of the world, judge for himself what would be the expense of any landing on the shores of this island, many destruction of our naval dock yards, or any material impression on the country—what the expense of that would be, as compared with the small ex pense that we are incurring now to render any such at tempt difficult, if not impossible. And when we talk of the expense of our fortifications we are often told to imitate our neighbours. What did the French do? They erected fortifications round Parie—rouod one town alone, which cost, I am quite sure, six millions—l rather think it was something like eight millions sterling. Why that is enough to cover the whole charge of our fortifications, which are intended to protect various e rints of our naval arsenals which are liable to be attack and therefore, so far from thinking this country will join with the hon. gentleman in condemning those arrangements, my firm opinion is that the more the matter is looked into the more artil lery officers—not those under the gallery—(laughter)— but the service in general—are consulted, the more they will come round to the opinion that we have done no more than our duty in proposing to, and inducing the house to agree to this expenditure. I do not even despair for the bon. gentleman if he will go farther than the single artillery friend, and go to • committee of artillery officers aodoonsult them on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Then the hon. member came to the state of parties in this house. He is kind enough to talk of me as the leader of the house and of this party, but the language he holds is, that I am unworthy to be • leader because I am not disposed blindly to follow him, and those who agree with him, on every question, whether I concur with them in opinion or Dot. It may, no doule, be all right for followers to follow • leader when they differ from him, but it is a little too much to say that follovrem should insist on a leader following them. (" Hear, hear." and laughter.) The hon. member says I have opposed the ballot. Well, I have opposed the ballot. I oppose the I ballot because I differ with him entirely in opinion. He says the ballot would he a moral good ; I say that it would be an immoral thing. (Bees, hear.) When he oonviaCt4 ins that 1 am wrong I shall be very ready to adopt his views ; but until that time comes, sitting here, sent by those whom ' I represent, to act according to the beet of my judg ment, I must take leave to set on that judg ment, and oppose measures which I think very in jurious to the public interest. Then he mentioned' ether measures. /Id was very much astonished that I did sot sit till half-past three in the morning to vote against the Game Bill. Whatever my opinion was it was quite evi- ' dent that there was so large a majority for and so small a minority against the measure, I should have lost my sleep whichever way I bad intended to vote by remaining. (Laughter.) I did vote against reporting progress because I thought that was sot a proper mode of dealing with the bill, whether it was objected to or Dot Well, he wars that in truth the right hon. member for Buckingham ought to sit here and I ought to sit there. I can assure the lion. gentleman that I care less where I sit than he may imagine, but so longish pleases this house that I shall sit here, and I can feel that in sitting here I can perform the duty due to the country, I am quite willing and desirous to sit here, and I should be very sorry, it, sitting here, I should not lave the support and good-will of the bon. gentleman and those who agree with him. He stated himself, and that is the real truth of the matter, that parliament is no longer divided as it was in former times by • broad line of separation into two parties in antagonism to one another. In those times each man classed himself according to en arbitrary rule, and every. body knew how each member would vote and almost count • division as well beforehand as after it had taken plate; but of late years, and especially since the reform of parliament, that has ceased to be the owe. Now, the house Is divided into • peat number of knots, if I may es say, each 'Ming amording to his Z a arel ta k cc the opinion al some an, member to was ma he lochs, or according to She sample *aim alike, at whose those knots consist. Therefore, it is in vain ever to expect that we shall see the House of Commons assume that dualism which need formerly to be its cluiractertstie. Well, what is the government to do? One party may my, "Do what we order you and we will support you • but if we do that we may lose support in another direction. (Hear, hear.) The boo. member tells us that unless we do so and so—vote by ballot, bring in a re form bill next session, and all sorts of things —(laughter)— we shall not have his support. I should be exceedingly sorry to lose his support, and I can assure him that the country at would be grieved at seeing him go, as he intimated awish to do, to the opposition. Ido not know that it would make much difference except as to his place of sitting, but still I am unwilling to assume that, and I cling to what little support he is kindi enough to give as, and I hope that the change will not take place, but at the same time, in the divided state of fractMnal parties which now exists in the House of Commons, and which is mainly the consequence of the reform made some years ago. it is quite impossible for a government to act on that selfish--and I will say that jobbing principle which was practimdformerly, 'of buying unity and support by submission of conduct. Now, every government that rowan itself must take its I own line, and act according to what it thinks its duty to ' the country. We value the support of those who sit on the same side as ourselves, but if that fails, and we can get for practical measures support , elsewhere, why we do not refuse that support—(laughter)-- and we are justified in that so loug as we act according to the dictates of our own conscientious opinions, and propose measures which we think good for the country, or oppose measures which we think bad for the country. That is what we intend to do, and that is what we Mee done. 1 flatter myself that if any man looks through Abe list ,of the acts of parliament brought io and carried by the present government during the last few years — in the sessions of 1860, 1861, and 1862--he will see ea many useful measures of public improvement and pro. gressive improvement, as are found in the records of say equal number of years in any former period of our history. I wtil not trouble the house by going through say enumera tion, but if any one whose memory doss not serve him will just turn to the list of acts, he will see a great variety of most important improvements made by acts brought in by the present government. So far, therefore, as that course goes, I think we have done our duty to the oountry , and, bevies done our duty, think we have deserved that kind and liberal support which we have received from the members of this house. I should be very sorry if by anything we have dose, or are likely to do, we should for feit that good opinion. I think we enjoy the confidence of the majority of the house, as tested by divisions, and really I must say, in deference to the right hon. gentleman, that I am quite @seabed we do the confidence of the country, and, most especially, rt hi se ilt that that very act which be so much blames—the course pursued in regard to America —has been sanctioned by the general opinion of the country. (Hear, hear.) Well, it is for the boo. gentleman and three who act with him to judge, and I should be very sorry if good friends should part. I cannot briog myself to think that is likely. The hon. gen tleman says he bag disburdened himself of all the objections which had collected in his mind dialog the maim. I hops his mind being relieved that io the came . moments of the recess he will look with kinder eyes on the course which has been pursued, that he will judge in • more frisodly spirit the intentions with which we ass animated, that he will communicate with those in the country who may be lookers on and see more of the game that is played in this house, and that he will perhaps take a somewhat different view from that which he has expressed. I therefore trust to the calm reflection of the recess, and I hope the hon. member and those who act with him will And that notwithstanding there particular differences of opinion on special points, there may be a more general concurrence than he perhaps seems aware of, and that next session we shall steed better in his opinion than lam sorry to find we do at present. (Cheers) Mr. DISRAELI said he bad no desire to interfere with the gradual but rapid process of decomposition which was the inevitable coosequeoce to the government of the lads ence and votes of the liberal party ; but, as this subject had been brought before the house, be could not refrain from making a few observations. Ile reviewed the con duct of the rovernmeot upon the question of reform ; he inveighed against the pretexts upon which they had opposed the measure of the late govern meet, and severely censured the levity with which Lord Palmerston had trilled with the question, and the studied contempt he bad shown towards reformers. Looking at their course of proceed ing upon this subject, and their policy towards Frain*, Le was not surprised, he said, at the disappointment and dissatisfaction felt by the liberal party at the manner in which the conditions under which they took office had been fulfilled by the present government. Apart from these con siderations, were our finances is a state of prosperity' On the contrary, he asserted the fact, without entering into canoes, that our financial condition was as dangerous at this moment as in 1840, and most critical. He denied the preten sions of the present government to confidence on the ground of their care of the defences of the country. They had expended 12.000.000/. in our dockyards, the results of which had shown the expenditure to have been thought less, wasteful, and inefficient. Of their foreign policy, the only fact was the war with China, commencing in most rash and improvident acts, the result of a rash and improvident system of policy. After a rapid criticism of seine of the less prominent deficiencies of the government, he claimed credit for what had been done during the session by the .conservative party. After some remarks from Mr. LINDSAY in deprecation of dockyard expenditure, and from Mr. IC rwuicsre with le d gard to the cotton supply, the subject dropped. THE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY. Sir M. PETO revived his motion on the naval adminis tration of the country, contending that the department required reform, and that under the present system the public could never receive an equivalent for their money. Lord C. PAGET made some observations in reply, in the course of which he said no change was required io the Admiralty, and that although there were defects in the system, it would be extremely difficult to substitute another more satisfactory. SUEZ CANAL. In answer to a question from Mr. D. Gaurrrn, Mr. LAYARD said it was true that 25,0C3 forced labourers were employed on the Suez C 20.11, but there were no treaties between this country and the Pasha of Egypt which would warrant our interference is the matter. The motion for adjournment was then agreed to. NIGHT POACHING PREVENTION BILL. On the order for the third reading of this bilk.. Mr. BUTT moved that the bilrbe re-committed. He made severe strictures upon the chance-medley of its enactments, the novelty of its principles, sad the vagueness lied obscurity of its language, upon which he made amusing comments. Mr. BASS, in opposing this motion, read extracts from a report of the extent of night poaching io Staffontsbire. The debate, which was directed to the general merits of the measure, was continued by Mr. Whalley, Mr. Cox, and Mr. f.rßrien. . _ Sir B. LEIGHTON opposed the motion for re•commit ting the bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL. in a minute examination of the bill, posited out objectioos to its structure sod language, and especially the loose and (as he said ) absurd wording of the mooed clause,—which, be observed, was the bill ; and he recommended the withdrawal of the measure. ColM:el DICKSON remarked that the Attorney- General should have been present at the earlier diumaions of the bilL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid the Attorney-General had recorded his vote on the second read ing. He opposed the bill, not wishing that parliament should be responsible for language in an act which no ail 1, loge schoolboy would use without punishment. Ultimately, after much further discussion. the house divided, when Mr. Butt's motion was negatived by 90 to 61. Mr. W. FORSTER moved the adjournment of the house. This motion was negatived opoo a division by 88 to 35. Sir J. PAXTON moved that the debate be adjourned. This motion was negatived by 89 votes to 30. After some further opposition, the bill was road a third time. The house adjourned at 4 o'clock. Cawer&L PALACIL —Mina Louisa Pyne, Mies Soma Ppm, and Mr. Harrison, of the Royal English Opera, Covent-garden, with Signor Ferranti, will sing at the oceoert this day. The programme will include ballads and duels from the Bohemian Girl, the Lily of Killarney, Rom of Caatille, and other popular operas. Blondin repeats h 4 low rope performance on Monday. THE ROYDON HALL bIURDSR.—It hem been already stated that five men were apprehended a few days ago by Mr. Hulse, the superiotendent of the Kent ematabn lary, stationed at West Melling, upon the charge of being concerned in a brutal murder that was committed on the 21st of January last upon James .;ray. a gamekeeper, in the service of Major Cook, of Rovdon Hall, East Peckham. Since then another man has been apprehended, and it is believed that the whole of the party concerned in the out rage, with the exception of one man, are in the heads of the police. A preliminary inquiry took place yest er d a y a t th e angle:rates' clerk's office, West Mailing, and the prisoners were remanded to the county gaol at Maidstone.

The market open to-day with a fair inquiry, Frobable sales 10,000 bales, of which 6,002 are on speculation and for export. COTTON GOODS.—Mencinterrza, Annum I.—The yarn market has been very excited, especially in the count" and qualities made from Amseima cottoo, and all available lota have been rather eagerly picked up. The chief buyer are the Germans A nd the India people. Yarns are now becoming so scarce, that some damn can scarcely be met with at any price. One healthy sign is, that the purchases made have been chiefly for shipment, and will not, as in the case of many of the speculative lota sold within the last few weeks, come upon the market "flirt. Not much doing for the home or other market" than those above-named. Prices of all de scriptions of yarn very firm. In cloths we have had a little business, but nothing approaching to activity. Telegrams have been received from Bombay to the 12th July, report ing a very brisk market for imports, and an advance in the pnce of shirting. of from 9d. to 15d. per piece. Price them would still be 12d. to 18d. per pier below the rates at which they can be bought here, bat the advice. have led to some demand in this market during the day. It has given some additional firming, to prices, but manufacturers cannot obtain the rise they are asking, though undoubtedly rates have been given this morning which manufacturers could not obtain on Tuesday. For borne trade and other marketa not much doing. The market generally however closes firmer. The observation of Lord Palmerston, in the rate in aid debate, about Lancashire manufacturers re-selling their cotton has given rise to a good deal of remark here to-day. The general impression is that the noble lord " mimed his tip." The re-sale of cotton, it is remarked, at the most should only lead to a re-distribution of stocks. If there is any mime in it through such cotton Boding its way to foreign countries, that crime is due to the government which has act prohibited the export of ootten—a course which would perhaps have brought worse evils in its trait by destroying the Liverpool market as the cotton antral:di of Europe. Biome manufacturers have left off manufacturing, sod devote themselves solely to the business of speculating-dealing in cotton yarn and cloth. One manufacturer is spoken of as having resold 2,000 bales at a particular crisis, at 12d. per lb., and laid out the whole of the money a few days later in the same cotton at 10d. per lb. The workpeople of that gentleman, at all events, would be no sufferers by the speculation. The impression of be. einem men is that if the manufacturers geoerally who bad the foresight to buy large stocks before a rise in price took place bad resold subsequently, the redistribution of dodo would have been beneficial to the trade generally and to the operative' as welL TALLOW.-Fitroav EvlinNG.-The market is steady to day.
