The noble lord then moved the following resolutions with reference to the revised code of the Committee of the Yrisy Council ou Education.-1. That certificated teachers and gusto's scholars have an equitable claim upon the goveroweut for the undiminished payment of the allow mum hitherto granted to them on certain conditions as long as those conditions are fulfilled. —2. That this house ap prove■ of the principle of public aid being given to elemen tary schools according to their success in performing their work, sod a dm of the principle of paid assistants in schools Icing weevil according to the market value of their ser vices from time to time ; hut thatitcousiders that the manner le which it is proposed in the revised code to give effect to those priscipkts is in some respects objectionable. —3.

In fact, Mr. Bunch himself acknowledged that these vessels did Dot make their appearance in the open sea except for a very short time. Then he took off horn the 122 these 1(11 coasters ; that left 19 departures, of which 15 were to American pone, chiefly to Cuba, all schooners ex cept one sloop, and only one schooner from Charleston to Liverpool. Now they had heard a great deal of sham blockades, but he appealed to the house whether this was not a sham list. Now, looking at the supplementary list, it gave fiftpone departures to the end of October. Five of these were from Port Largo. This small number proved the efficiency of the blockade, inasmuch as they were all before May 17, and therefore before the decimation of the blockade, thus showing that though there was • foreigu trade before the blockade, there had been none since. This left 46, of which at least 27 were quasi inland vessels, leaving only 19. Of these one was • privateer, three were small coasters from Wilmington, 14 were small vessels from American porta, and only one for Europe, • steamer, the Bermuda, lie alluded to this, because they must not suppose that this blockade was not effective from the stones they bad heard of escapes. It bad been so extraordi nary theta vessel of any size should get out, that it was talked of in all the newspapers of America, North and South, sod we heard of it over and over again ; and if they looked at the accounts of the escape of the Bermuda, Consul Boileau: described it as getting out in the dark on a stormy night, and he did not think that the fact of a screw steamer getting out on a dark and stormy bight was a circumstance which justified his honourable friend in saying that the blockade was not effective. Then again, there was the Nashville, of which they had heard so much. If the house would refer to the led and 4th of the parliamentary papers they would find the depo sitions of one of the crew of the nun, giving an amusing account of her adventures before She succeeded in getting away. They would remember that the Nashville remained for three or four weeks with Messrs. Mason and Slidell on beard, anxious but unable to start—that a small vessel was sent down every morning to see what was the state of the blockade, and that at last them two gentlemen left the Nashville, and thereby al:doing • much more unpleaaant passage in the Trent. (Hem, hear.) He had mentioued that one or two privateers bad left the Southern ports, and the hon. gentleman had referred to the captures which they bad made ; but let them compare the 'list of vowels which bed broken the blockade with the list of privateers alone which bad got out of the American porta during the last war with this country. It ,was perfectly true that in former times England had corasionally resorted to fic titious and paper blockades, at which the hot. member said great feeling had been excited in Europe, though he must my he was surprised to hear the hon. gentleman re commend to the House of Commas the remarks of a gentle man who was known to be so exceedingly hostile to Eng land as If. de Hautefenille. But, notwitlastaadiog the paper blockades of former times, there weld be no doubt that the blockade of the American pods was as effisient as was pos sible either on the part of this or any ether canary. The people of this cottony knew that their oily chance of ter minating the war was by stopping the trade of America, and the theta of England having towards the close had no oecupatios in Europe, were able to take part in the blockade service. Yet in lees than three years no fewer than 516 privateers got out of the American pert& (Hear, hear.) Sir J. FEED LISBON submitted that if thousands had not ht the se ll ing ci so great a number of Tinsels was a of the insufficiency of the blockade, they would sot an reported them. At Sevaneab, on the 11th of October, Acting Consul Fullerton said that the blockade bad latterly been less strictly kept than at any period, and other consuls at late dates had expressed themselves in similar terms. He bawd to remind the house that the whole question ought to turn en the law which regulated blockades. The doctrine of the British government bad always been that a blockade must be effective to be respected. In the case of the blockade of 1807 which bed beta referred to by America to prove that we had not always respected the law, that blockade, it was well known, was an sot in retaliation for the decree of Berlin instituting • blockede of all the British With regard to the 'Jutted States law, it was clear ro r ni ts. the doctrines laid down by American authorities that the present blockade had been neither continuous nor effec tive, and was no legal blockade at all. What cause, there fore, was there for its being respected! He admitted we ought to be chary in giving encouragement to insurrection in any State, bat if strict neutrality was to guide the pro ceedings of this country, it was not coneistect that we should 'section • blockade which was ended the strict interpreta tion of iuternational law. Mr. N. MILNE'S mid this subject involved nothing less than the question of war between Gnat Britain mid America. The question of blockade by cruisers had been so materially affected by the application of steam to navi gation that it called for investigation. The common.seme view of the case led to the conclusion that, under the cir cumstances in which the Southern States were placed, the blockade must be considered effective. Mr. W. LINDSAY, in reply to Mr. Forster, adduced positive evidence of the Tunnies of the blockade by nume rous Teasels, some of them with no difficulty whatever. From these instances, and from the distinct statements of our naval officers on the spot, he argued that the proof of the ineffectiveness of the blockade was complete, and he could not understated, he said, how th to go vernment could make it out that it was e ff ective and ought be reelected. Whatever might be the conduct of the inborn states, he counselled neutrality, but • strict sad partial neutrality, dealing as justly with the South as with the North. The SOLICITOR-OENBRAL mid he wieldiest...penally after the moat able and eloquent speech of his boo. friend the member for Bradford—(Cheer)—travel at sub length as he might otherwise have done into the cams of breach of blockade. He 'should oily ails& to it to remind three who had heard his bon. friend, and to inform those who bad not, that his boo. friend bad taken up the list and bad shown that there were not more than from fourteen to sixteen cams of breach of blockade, or of vessels running the blockade, and that these were with one exception Confederate nerds. said not ships which had COMO from this country. That mast satisfactory and exhaustive statement had relieved him (Mr. R. Palmer) from the necessity of going into these figures end facts, of the accuracy of which he was satisfied, but what were the reports which they had received from thee mauls end officers who had received orders to ascertain the strictness of the blocked,. For he should remind the house that there Trues nuntienses on the part of this country, but that all the time cakes competent to the tonics were cruising up sod down the mast to see whether there was a suffi cient fuse at all points, and to send home information to the government. He found from the reports of Captains Ihuideeektaad Rose that front the 23rd July to the 4th Sept., there was • amigo:Cent force for blockade purposes in the Oulf of Mexico. With respect to these porta it was admitted by the hon. member for Galway, that New Orleans was strictly blockaded, and therefore it was not neceseary for him to refer to that ass, but he could not help remind. lag the boo. member and the house of the fact. Then with respect to Gelvestoo, from the 2nd July to the '_9th Oct., the consul reported that so strict was the blockade that it was inthomible for anything to get in or out beyond a craft which drew only six feet ,of water. He next went to Savanash. There he thought the hon. member for Galway was going to make a case when he referred to one particular case iu which the papers showed there had been a remisanen in the blockade. But the hon. member went on to Charlene° and Wilmington, when he gave no facts—a deficiency which he (Mr. Palmer) would endeavour to supply. The reports of the consul showed that, although there had been a remissness in the blockade shortly after its commencement. yet t h at it was resumed on the 16th June, and continued to the SA September, sad so closely that not more than one ship was able to run it. Then as to Charleston, respecting which the strongest case appeared to be made, our cooed, Mr. Bunch, whom our government very properly supported against the protean of the United State; reported thatat Charleston, at • distance from the blockading force, vessels contrived to get in, and he spoke of a laxity in the blockade ; but then with respect to the port of Charleston, Commodore Lyons reported on 31st July, 26th September, and 19th December, that there was a strict blockade by a sufficient force, although the commodore also reported that on the 19th September certain vessels coetrived to get through. It appeared that a want al vigilance, or sometbingelse, enabled them, he could not my which, but there wu the fact. He (Mr. Palmer) would add here that whether there was or was not intentional laxity, the answer wee that with one exception no vessel got through. The exception was so singular that the facts stated by Mr. Bunch could hardly be accepted without inquiry. That fact was, that although no permission was given for vessels to go io and out of Charleston, yet that armed treumporte of the Confe derate states were allowed to go in in sight of the block ading squadron. Except this fact, they bad the testimony of their own cruisers that the blockade was preserved by a sufficient force during the period he had mentioned. There was, it was true, coullicting circumstances narrated in the reports of Mr. Bauch. For instance, he stated that the coasting trade was uninterrupted. But that was ex plained by the eaters of the coast, both at Savannah and Charleekm. It appeared that large vessels could not get through either at havanaah or Charleston, except through the main channel, which was blockaded, but that through the peculiarity of the coot, which wu pierced by small Area= and rivers, and dotted with small bays and lagoons, which stretched up to the capital, small Teasels were able to maintain a communication. It would be, he ventured to my, • novelty iu the law of blockade, if it was deemed to be no blockade, unlade all the inlets of • coast were closed up. (Hear, hear.) Them was abundance of small inlets, such as Sea Island, north and south of Chariestoo, by means of which small Teasels from 50 up to 300 toes were enabled to evade the blockade. Nobody would expect that • blockade could be maintained along seventy or eighty miles cif coast so situated. Be did sot moan in what be mid to prejudice the case of any particular ship, or the decides of • prim court, but this be weld say that so one mould have bend the facts which had hem dated by the hon. member for Bradford without pasesising OM there was a multitude of particular questions in erl nose varying according to circumstances. The gemlike gal whether the blockade was according to the law of ..ides. There was nothing better known than that it was the efight of • belligerent Batton to establish • blockade, and If she ships taken were brought before • prise con* it was the bounden duty of a oeutral state patientiy to abide by the decision of the prize court, and not to interfere mien the as were taken to tie court of ultimate If in May mart al ultimate ap it should a = t he law of nations bad Men aimripirded, u the goverment of the sentmil constry would not be bound by the mbar% bet it would be the duty of that country to demand restituties.

Mr. WALPOLE 'sheath, Vice-President of theCummittee of Conseil 'batboy the nisi) nets of schools who do not, lifter the Slat illy of March, undertake to provide and pay the full stipends sad gmtuities now severally payable on seemed of papil teachers during their current apprentice "hits. win be entitled to claim any, and, if any, what per. Lou of the capitation gi..ut proposed to be paid under the regulation of the revised code. Mr. LONE—My answer is this : During the year which elapses from the 31st March, to the 31st Moral, all schools which an sow ailed by the Privy Council will be e and paid upon the principle of the other code, and therefore if during that year the managers do not make ariangetueuts fee paying pupil teachers themselves, that will L. 4 prevent them receiving their grants', which will be paid as if there was so reniesl cods at all. But after the list of Natal, Iki3, mangers et schools 0110 only receive one of two grants—oos the great for pupil teachers and no other grant ; or in ease they nadertake to pay the pupil teachers tbeineelvis such capitation ae they may earn and way be coutled to under the revised code. - THE LONGFORD ELECTION. Mr. LEFROV asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if the government bad received full information as to the results of the riots which are alleged to havetaken place at the lets election for Longford, and if that information was calcu. lewd to alleviate the anxiety produced in the minds of many whoa, friends and tenants are reported to have M rs o ° l s angeroosly wounded by the mob, io eousequemee, of threats held out spinet them if they exercised) their preri lep of voting for the candidate they wished to support ; and, if such was the can, if the government proposed to take any measures to prevent • repetition of such proceed ingson any future occasion. Sir R. PEEL—Thin subject, which has been kottOt muter the notice of the house, is one which I must say has 1 excit,4 general interest, and has given rise to straw feel ings in the whole of many boo . gentlemen on both dike of the hoes*. For myself, lam not at all surprised that the hon. gentleman, coosidering the scenes that have taken place in the last few days at Longford , should express a feeling of indignation ea the subject. It is well known that in that cuiu.ty the tenants of the hon. gentleman, as well as tenants of other persona, and moreover the clergy man, the protestant pastor of his own parish, have been rnalteritted by a lawless mob ; but I am bound to may also, that the information which appears in the newspaper, by no memo comes up to the real state of the aim, for I be lieve that scenes of violence and intimidation and outrage took place in the county of Longford during the recent election which have not hem witnessed, incept in Ireland, for a great number of years. I do not know what cause may be pursued on the subject, but I believe, from the reports which here reached the government, that the election—the mockery of an election I may almost call it —cheer. hear)—will be the subject of a parliamentary in qmry. but I am not able to say what coon will be taken to the mattter. 1 believe that the freedom of election was sot at all exercised there by the people. Mr. P. IiENNESSY —I rise to order. The right hon. gentleman has told us there will be a parliamentary inquiry. Notice has been given by Colonel Whites agent to the gal lant member for Longford that a petition will be presented. l'sder such circumstances I put it to you. sir, whether the right boo. gentleman is in order in discussing the subject. The SPEAKER—Not as a matter of order, but as • matter of discretion. Sir It. PEEL—The hon. gentleman asked me whether the government would take any measures to prevent a repeti tion of such occurrences. There was • large force of con stabulary, sod special stipendiary magistrates in the oounty, but they, probably, were not sufficient for the purpose. The government, I believe, have given orders that all persons wbo can be proved to have been engaged is these violent proceedings shall be Fomented and dealt with u the law directs. UNIFORMS YOR VOLUNTEERS. Is reply to Lord A. Vial TEMPL,T, Sir C. LEWLS said government bad determined to issue cloth to the volunteen at contract prices, charging 5 per cent. for establishment expenses, the result of which, he believed, would be that the cloth would be procurable at from 15 to 20 per cent. below the ordinary prices. THE BLOCKADE OF TIIE PORTS OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. GREGORY, pursuant to notice, called attention to the blockade o the porta of the Confederate States of America. Let esesloo, he observed, he had been prevailed upon to abstain from bringing the question of moopielas the Southern States into discusser., though be was then (Si he was still) of opinion that the contest in America was a hopeless one ; that secession woe a right, separation a fact, and reunion ea impossibility. lie should then, he said. hale counselled the recognition of the Southern States as independent Jr jure and de farts, and he was sorry the die- Cl/Ision did not take place, since he believed the MUM& of the House of Commons on that comma was not inter preted by the United States as prompted by a spirit con. ciliatioo, but as the result of fear. HewonW not now press the question of recognition, but should confine himself strictly to that of the blockade—•question of the most vital importance, not to England only, but to the whole world. He proceeded to argue that by the acieowledgment of the validity of the blockade our neutrality appeared to be ewe sided; we seemed to be conniving unfairly at the act of one al the belligerents, and doing an injustice to the fair trader. He was bound tory that helms more they eatir bed with the past conduct of the government under air measkinoes of the greeteat difficulty ; hie only fear was that they might go too far, and carry forbearance to a point that would prejudice our own interests and derogate from our character in the opinion of other nations. Hs then tried the question by the role, of intereatiocal law sad by the practice of prise courts, Minting that, according to tbe legal dellnituni of •' blockade, " to the dicta. of Pirate cd authority lincludir.g the American judge, Kent), and to judicial decisions us reported Phalle. the blockade el the anthers ineffective, by the Uuited States was illegal; that it was sad therefore illegal, wee proved by the number of vowels which had run the liesitada. He cited as evidence to this fact communications from our moral commanders and console, and the acknowledgment of American newspapers, testifying to the abesees, iail teiesey, or intenuiscons of the blockade, which, he aria lathed, continued up to the present time. If the blockade had been effectual, would the government of the United flutes, he asked. have resorted to the barbarous and dis graced's! policy of destroying the Southern harbours? In emelneson, he moved an address for certain papers. The motion was seconded by Mr. BENTLNCK, who, deprecating the letraduction of the element of slavery into the &menace, winch would, he said, be hypocritical and unjust, considered that Mr. :regory had made it clear that the blockade was null sad void, and he urged • recognition of the oidependeoce of the Southern States, in conformity with the doctrine enunciated by Lord Russell in the Mee of Italy, that a people were eutitded to choose their own form of govemmea. Mr. W. E. FO RSTER said In hoped the house would 03t. 11.01 hie going into agony. Hi. hoe. friend men tioned • list., but be passed very gingerly over it. (Hear, bear.) He (Mr. Forster) expected to have heard mare of it, because before parliament met they mire told that a list of litai vessel. which had *reaped notwithatheding the blacked. was in the Lands of some gentlemen, and his bat friend, it was understood, was to give them this Mien:latices. Well, he supposed that hie information was not altogether to be relied upon. sod therefore he had not brought it froward. But still Lisbon. timed did my that, throwing aside ships from the interior, there were still nearly 400 vowel+ of which information existed that they had run the blockade from it. be; to the end of October. Now that agreed with two bite which had been furnished to the government in the despatches, one sent in by Hsu Yancey, itost,and Mann, the Confederate coin miatiouses. sim November 30, and • supplemeutary list sent in by Mr. Neon. Now be had Suites • great deal of trouble in aualys • rue these Ilea, and if the hones would allow him he would give the result. Us would take the departuree am the test because it was °midis that we should be more anxious to get cotton than to export 4:mamboed of war. In the list of Messrs. Yancey, Rost, and Mean, given in on November 40, they sail that between the declaration of the blocks& and tho 110th of August, more than 400 vessels arrived end departed, thereby giving contusive evidence that the I.l,citaile was Dot effective, and was therefore not binding. losing by several element paragraphs he found that the t•tal departures and clearances, accenting to the custom lunue means, was :W. Of that number 119 were before the declaration of the blockade. 75 of them were from New (limns before May 27. the day on which Consul Muni notated the blockade of she port, 44 wore from Wilmington before July 14, the day on which that port was notified, and 14) were foreign emits which left - before the 15days of irises bad expired. Now he did not blame the collectors for sending in their returns, teethes they were ordered to do so, but he did think It estreeedieary that the commissioners ahould have gives la the Wits nee ia Fe 119vetesh le and oreniher and one in February, . ems OM flik, :vii in the other, when in both cases the vessels had left before the blockade WAS enforced. It was the more extra ordinary, limiuse looking at the list of these 56 vessela, if toy tel been reel branches they would have been most iiiii.orteut breaches, because • very large number of them were large vessels that came out from New Orleans and Mobile to Europe, and chiefly to Liverpool, and if they bad really broken the blockade he should have admitted that there ware grenade for blaming our government. Of theta 56, 23 vessels were from New Orleans fur Europe, and 9 front Mobile, sod they mime out during the O. teen days, because they had that time given them to escape, and the very paper which contained this list of breeches eordniued a congratulatiao front our meant at Mobile that these very vessels hail been able to get out before the blockade came into force. Adding three numbers together they bad, out of the total of 3V, only 147 left. Of these 23 wore river baits, chiefly flat bate, that wee up from the ieterior to New O Irleans to b. kakis up Me{ moth wee said about them, and he moat give Mt. Mem credit that whim ha entered them in the list he Mesa to make weak ascinuat of them, but be mulct mot glut the same credit to Meese. Yancey, Rost, sad Nam, at so doubt they expected the list would pare ssies. Hs had now brought the 3?2 to 122, and of there 106 were ourrilwa. and of Chess 106 all but three were what Mr. i Mason, is his despatch, wishing to be frank, Wiwi quasi 'abut& iiisty.eit of them went between Mobile sod New Orleans, and he was informed by several peat men who visited that coast, that it was perfeetly .bused to suppose that the vovage of a meal behind taituma, scarcely appeanng in the open slit. bet erese alma W coast, could be cousidered • breach of the blochads. The same remark applied to vowels Wreak Charleston sad or had been done to • neutral country. He like to know what the hon. member for Galway thought they ought to do. He bad not been able to gather so much from the honourable member's speech. The nearest approach whirl the boo. disinter had made to • suggeetion was that of armed neutrality. Suppose, then, they came to disregard the proclamation of the United States, and send ships to break the blockade, he asked what would that be l He told them that it would be war. (Hear, hear.) An armed neutrality of any kind was war, and not the more honourable because it was not avowed. (Hear.) To set up such a neutrality was contrary to the wager of nations, and would carry with it all the copse gnomes of war. It might by possibility happen that a nation might be under such a state of momentary depression as not to be able to resist such an aggression, but did they think that such an offence would ever be for given? (Hear, hear.) Did they talk that friendly rela tions could ever be restored? He was sure that he spoke the sense of the house and the country, when he said that, under any cirewnstances, it would be a most grievous and painful thing for Groat Britain to be irthinged in a war with the United States. The hon. and learned gentleman then spoke as follows : They are men of the same blood, language, and religion, and the children of our forefathers, and united to us by all the bond,' and ties that unite man and man together, even in the holiest cause and on the most necessary occasions. Even on such an occasion as seemed likely to have been imminent, we should have entered upon a contest with feelings which I cannot describe. (Cheers.) I venture to say that if on that occasion we had been forced to enter on that contest, although we might have had no alternative, for we should not have been the aggeerors, we could not have declined it without giving up the most sacred duties of a nation, and showing ourselves unworthy of being the depositary of the power which we . possess. In &datum to all these deep and bitter feelings which such a contest under any circumstances must occasion—those feelings not being without their aggravation in the reflection that it might be imputed to us due, after having made the sacrifices we have done for the sake of liberty, we were obliged to find ourselves in active co-operation with a country which perhaps, without the fault of the present generation, is the last stronghold of slavery. (Cheers.) Aud there would have been, if possible, a more bitter aggra vation : we bean compelled to meet our brethren in arum in the United States, wo should have desired to meet them as geneaws enemies on • fair and open field, but we should have been obliged to meet them with their bands tied down, overburdened with the weight of a domestic calamity. (Cheers.) But if it bed been necesiary,in that case they would have created the necessity, and we could have looked Europe and the world in the face, and calmly appealed to the verdict of our own age and posterity, knoitiog that our cause, as it had been without 'elfishness, was also without reproach. But how would it have been if, for the sake of any selfish ohjects,or from any mercenary motives, if to prwide ourselves with cotton and for the purpose of meeting our own difficulties arising from causes over which we had no control, how would it have been if, for the purposes of consulting and consi dering our own interests, we had been the first to break the recognised usages of established law, ' and the first to my that the United States as a belligerent should not exercise belligerent rights in the ordinary manner because we wanted cotton? (Cheers.) If we had taken such a course as that we should not have been able to look in the face of Europe or the world. (Hear, hear.) We should not have been able to appeal to the verdict of our own egg and posterity. (Hear, bear.) If there had been • government prodding ever the destinies of this country capable of entertaining such a policy there would have been a power stall stronger than that government to prevent it. (Hew, hear.) Who had been the great sufferers by the lees of that trade which bad been so unhappily inter rupted ? The mamas and manufacturers of Lanceskies, the constituents of my hon. friend the member for Bradford. (Hear, hear.) Had they demanded this? (Hear, bear.) Does my hon. friend the member far Galway speak under their instruction ? (No.) They had set as example worthy of the noble people to whom they belonged, and had showed that justice, virtue, honour, and patience, are better esteemed by those classes who suffered most from each calamities than any objects of permed interest which they could gain from provoking an unjust and unne cessary war. (Cheers.) The government of this country had been actuated by the same spirit. It had desired firmly to maintain our own rights, but to do so according to the recognised usages of nations, to be con sistently and strictly neutral towards both bellige rents, not encroaching on the belligerent operations, or considering whether our neutrality would be more bene ficial to one than the other. It had taken that course be- cause it was not only consistent with our own true interests, but, because it was the wares of national honour and of generosity and justice, and because it was the only 001121110 which was consistent with the Divine law that we should " do to others as we would wish to be dorm unto." (Cheers.) Lord R. CECIL was not surprised to find that the hon. and learned gentleman should, to giving utterance to his splendid legal subtleties, have forgotten the place in wash he was standing, and have thought that he was in a court of law. After the boo. and learned interpretation of the law, not one okra of protocol of Paris remained. All writers upon isternsticioal law had shown that the hos. and learned gentleman's inter pretation of the law would be most fatal to • blockade being maintained, for awarding to his authority, even if the continuity of the blockade were interrupted,still the blockade would be efficient, and the law of nations could be put in force. He would ask the house to consider whether the block ade of the Southern ports had not been merely a damage toau individual trader but an injury to the country neurally. Now the honourable and learned Solicitor-Gene. ral had very ingeniously not referred to the port where the blockade was the most inefficient, viz., the port of Wilmington, where the greatest injury had been inflicted upon the British traders. He would ask the house to consider whether the British government had been vigilant or not when he mentioned to the house that between the 10th and 19th August no less than 14 vessels bad ran the blockade. The principle of international law was that there must he • boot fide force to support the blockade statiored at the poet, but the house would see by the reports of the consuls that there hail been only a paper blockade. He thought it would appear clear to bon, mem bers after a careful study of the papers laid before them that the government had shown a desire to favour the Northern States, and that, therefore, they had sot been strictly neutral towards both parties. (Hear, bear.) What made him moat doubt the alleged neutrality of the government was, their unwillingness to carry into effect, with respect to the Confederate States of America, the principle on which they had acted during all the revolutions which took place in the present century. It bad beam their practice to recognise • government which had bean chosen by the people. They did so in the cases of Belgium, Italy, and the Spanish colonies in America, without in quiring into the cause of quarrel in any instance, or asking whether slavery was carried on in the state they recognised. The first time that principle was departed from was in the rase of the Confederate States of America. Now, for the first time, they heard of supporting the legiti mwe government end discouraging rebellion. He believed that if there had been true neutrality, the former prece dents would have been acted on ; and he looked on the policynow pursued as being as wider as it was inconsistent. The Northern States of America could never be the sure friends of this country, because they were the rivals of Eng lend politically and commercially. Both aspired to the go vernment of the sea, both were manufacturing countries, and • law mightier than either brought them into constant antagonism. With respect to the Southern States it was exactly the reverse. Their population was an agri cultural people, they [washed the raw material which the iodustry of this country wosumed, and the interest of each led them naturally into friendly relations one with the other. If therefore this country recognised an illegal blockade, and refused to recognise the independence of the Southern States, they would be led to look upon England as taking part with their oppressors. He could drum the house that if any real or honest construction of internatioaal law dictated to the people of this country to act so con trary to their own interests, he would be the last to protest against it, but it seemed to him to be a most fatal and suicidal policy to break the laws which bound the com monwealth of tedious when by so doing our population is sleeved and our trade destroyed. (Hear, hear.) After • few words from Admiral WALCUIT. The motion for the production of papers was negatived without a division. THE RECENT ARRESTS AT TANGIERS. - - Mr. D. GRIFFITH stated, that according to accounts published that morning it appeared that the two gentlemen arrested a short time since at Tangiers, on the requisition of the! American Consul, after landing from the Sumter, had not been released. He wished to know from the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether the government had received any later information on the subject than that already given to the house. Mr. LAYARI) said that be regretted being unable to give the hon. gentleman any further information than that re. ferred to. The telegram be received stated that the two gentlemen but been released, He had no reason to doubt the accuracy of that statement, and believed that it was of man recent date than the report to which the hon. gentle. man alluded. The house then went pro forms into committee of supply, and immediately maimed. SUPPLY. - . . reaaufacturen to establish an obsolete claim to trade marks which they dared not openly avow. They had at present two remedies—one by an action at common law, and the other by an injunction from the Court of Chancery— but they had never yet resorted to them for the assertion of their rights. The committee as proposed by Xt. Roebuck was then agreed to. MILITARY EDUCATION.

A court of inquiry, consisting of various naval °Moen presided over by Commodore Superintendent Sir F. W. E. Nicole:a, assembled at the dockyard this day to invenigate the circumstances attending the running down of a collier brig in the river by her Majesty's steam vessel Rapid, on Wednesday afternoon last. It appears by the evidence adduced that the vessel, which was struck suddenly, shifted her position as the Rapid was paring her, and that the helm of the Rapid could not be made to anew& in time to avoid the accident. The collier, which is laden with 200 teas of mak, was this day raised by a party at men from this dockyard, with chains and lighten, bat at the moment her deck appeared above the wake, and hakes she could be properly secured, a large steamer peas* sear caused such a heavy swell that the brig again sank. The Bustler, steam vessel, with • numerous party, and every appliance for raising the vessel and her cargo, is ordered to leave the dockyard for Grays to-morrow.

The mart sofa adjourned. THICITY OF BALTINONE.—LITERPOOL, The captain of the Dreadnought, just arrived at Liver pool, left New York on the 16th ult, the sam i l ies da as the City of Baltimore. He reports having great quantities of field ice far more south than usual, and it is not unlikely that having fallen in with this ice the City of Baltimore's screw may have become The fa, and that she may have bad to resort to canvas. i n Bell, which left New York two days before the City of Baltimore, only arrived here to-day. The captain reports having pawed thr oug h ice, and so does the Tentage, (screw steamer) at New York from Southampton. WRECK OP THE SPARTAN, GOVERNMENT TRANSPORT STEAMER, AND LOSS OP LIPE. We regret to announce the lose of a very fine steamer, which bad been taken up by the Admiralty for the conveyance of stores to North America, attended with a melancholy sacrifioe of life. The W-fated ship was the Spartan, an iron screw-steamer of 1,070 tons, y reoentlib rtu ailt wader special gam by Maws. Pyle and Co., of Ha pool, fitted with four water-tight bulkheads, aad wee classed A 1 for 13 years. Having been brought up to the Thames, she proceeded to Deptford-dockyard, and shipped ' a large quantity of stoma, and eventually left Falmouth on I the 2nd February on her fi rst voyage, for Halifax and St. John, New Brunswick. She had on board four pas sengers, Captain Hands, of the 133rd Regiment, his wife, child, and servant. From the time of the steamer leaving the Channel mythic% was heard of her until yesterday, when Messrs. Fleming, of Austin friars, agents for the owners, received a telegraphic mes sage from Captain Wiggins, the master of the Spartan, to the effect that she bad been lost in the Atlantic. As far as could be learned, it appeared that the unfortunate ship en countered the full fury of the terrific gales which have oc casioned so much havoc amongst the vessels traversing the Atlantic, and after the most fearful rolling and staving, she sprung a leak, and at length the crew were compelled to take to the boats and abandon her. This took place on the 16th of February ; but for several days the ship had been in the most critical position, and on the 11th she was struck by • heavy sea, which crushed in the saloon, where Captain Hends,l his wife, child, and servant were, and all perished by drowning, it is supposed, with the exception of the servant. About the same period the chief officer and two seamen were washed overboard and drowned. As before statedlthe remainder of the crew took to the boats, and must have suffered much from exposure. The poor servant girl, who escaped death when the cabin was crushed in, is reported to have died on the 21st. How long they were out in the boats has not transpired, but they were picked up by the ship William Fotheringham, and a telegram from Havre yesterday afternoon announced their safe arrival at that port. The Spartan foundered shortly after she was abandoned. The skip and freight were insured to the ex tent of 30,00 W., the balk of which was effected at Lloyd's. The cargo of stares was valued at 30,0001. RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLIAMENT. Yesterday the ease fee the tendon, Brighton, and South Cowl Campagy's bill. for the enlargement of their London-kg*, terminus and ➢ricklayers' Anna station, closed, end the committee intimated that they would give their decision upon it oa Monday. The case of the Great Western Railway, for additional powers, was opened in that committee, and further evidence was taken in the committee on the Eastern Counties Amalgamation Bill and.on that for the East Gloucestershire Railways : Mr. Fowler, C.E., being examined in favour of the latter. The oommittee on the bill of the Tranmere Local Hoard pared the preamble of that measure. TRAM ER EMBANKMENT COMMIKIIION.-05 Friday, on the masserobliog of the commissioner, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair, further plans for embenkieg the southern side of the Thames were considered—submitted and designed by Mr. W.

Fin= Is rim Mmutorous.—The committee ap pointed to inquire into the existing state of legislation, and of any existing arrangements for the protection of life and property against fire in the metropolis, resumed its sittings yesterday, Mr. Hockey in the chair. The witnesses exa mined ware Mr. Drummond, the managing director of the Law Fire Moe, and chairman of the committee for managing the Fire Brigade; Mr. Humphrey, coroner for Middlesex ; oad Mr. T. L. Collett, manager of St. Kathe rine's Docks. Mr. Humphrey, in the cowrie of his evidence, mad the existing law end arrangements genially in respect to the protection of life and property in the metropolis. no far as it goes, is efficient, but not sufficient. The parochial arrangements are so insignificant that with two or three ex ceptions they are valueless. Loss of life has frequently occurred from the want of stations for extinguishiog fires. A great many fires ore canoed by persons beneficially in treated in the ineurancee,and he believed that an examination into the causes of fires would tend very greatly to diminish the Dumber. Be might state for the information of the cow mittee that great danger arises from depositing large quan tities of paraffin oil and petrolium, and that on the Surrey side of the water, within the metropolis, there were at the prompt time not lees then 110,000 gallons of petrolinen de. ' posited in a place surrounded by buildings. It has a tempe rature of 60 degrees. Petrolium was frequently sold as paraffin oil.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCHINTER, Mace 7.—We have to report a dull and rather gloomy market. The revise Federal successes in America have led to a decline of cotton at Liverpool, which practically, if not nominally, buyers for manufacturing purposes report to be equal to Id p er lb . upon recent high rates, and this has canoed buyers here, both for home trade and export pummel', to withdraw their cent offers from the market. Thin &Rage comes at a time, when the demand was overtaking the supply of goods, and when there seemed to be a reasonable hope that fora tine there would be an improvement in business. Tbe.e is no ground fox surprise that the cans market should be exceedingly sensitive at od o i coi which indicate a possibility of any increased Imply of that material, hut in reality there has been so little .ht. vane upon tbo price of cloth that It seems unlikely then should be a serious decline of prices fort some time to come, with such an increased supply of cotton u could rota from America even if some of the Southern ports were lobo opened. The quantity of goods in stock is limited, and tO.l quantity making is on • very reduced sage, but for the me ment prices have a downward tendency. We learn that some kinds of India cloths have given way as much as is per piece. Some manufacturers still hold very firmly to their prices, but only such as have been willing to make sa abatement have been able to sell. Printing clothe are 61 affected in price than India shirting., but in these and is domestics and long cloths prices are weaker. T-cloths are aln worse to sell. The best makes of cloth are leas affect-11 than ordinary descriptions. The yarn market is also very quiet, and scarcely any business has been practicable. F r what has been done rather lower prices have had to be a;• oepted. The accounts from Ladle are not considered favour. able, and these, with the fall in the cotton market CODR quent on the American news, have had a very depiessin; effect on the yarn and cloth markets generally.
