IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MoNDAT, FEB. 20. 210 Loop CHANCELLOI took his slot upon the woolsack at &o'clock. THE SALE OF BENEFICES ACT. The Earl of DERBY said he wished the noble lord on the woolsack to favour the home with some explanation in Manses to the Sale of Benefices Act, as souse misunder• standing appeared to exist in mud to the manner in which the Ecclesiastical Commissioners were affected by it. It was imagined in some quarters that the result of the bill bad been to place a large sum of money at the disposal of the 004110111111i00401, sod considerable dissatisfaction might be occasioned if it was found that that sum wits Rot applied to the augnieutatiou of small benefices. The real fact, however, was that the Ecclesiastical Commissioners had nothing further todo than to receive the money and apply the whole of it to the augmentation of the livings sold wider the act. Another portion of the act authorised the sale of certain benefices the income derived from which would not be applied to the augmentation of the livings, but to the augmentation of other livings in the gift of the Lord Chancellor. In point of fact the EoolesiastiftWommisaiosers exercised no juris diction or authority over any portion of the funds derived fromthe sale of these benefices. The LORD CIiAaNCE.LLOR said the noble earl had very correctly naiad the effect of the act. The money receivable under the act was divided into two portions ; one portion being applied to the augmentation of the livings from which it was derived, and the other portion, derivable from the sale of 1W livings, being applied to the augmentation of different livings in the gift of the Lord Chancellor. The first moiety of the money received from the sale of the &steins of livings was certainly paid over to the Eockeias ticel Commissioners, who were to grant to the incumbent of the living thus sold an annuity at the rate of 31, he. per cent. The wood moiety would remain suspended, but the commissioners bad been kind enough to promise that they would charge themselves with the duty of investing and accumulating the interest upon it ; they were, however, merely trustees both of the cepital and interest. The money received from the mho( the 1W livings would not go into the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners at all, unless he (the Lord Chancellor) re quested them to take charge of it as trustees. THE CONSPIRACY TO ASSASSINATE THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. The Marquis of WESTMEATH called attention to the trial of four prisoners in Fr&DP on a charge of conspiring to assassinate the Emperor of the French, and asked whe ther, if the government were morally coovissced that Signor bleraini orany other person in this country had been aiding the conspirators in then detestable trice, the Alien Act give them powers by which they would be enabled to dent with the matter? Earl RUSSELL—I quite agree with the noble marquis that say porno. conspiring to amaseinate the Emperor of the French would be guilty of • detestable crime. but I have no right say that Somme Menial or any other person living in this country is guilty of that crime. I have no such evidence, and having no suc► powers under the A 1 ien Act ris the noble marquis supposes, I can only answer that 1 am not going to take any steps in the matter. MATERIAL AID TO DENMAP.K. The Earle( ELLENDORODOR pve notice that on Fri clay belt ha should ask her Majesty's govenonent if any measures had been token with a view to the necessity of affording materialaid to Denmark. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS COMMITTEE. E GRANVILLE, on laying the report of the joint committee of the Lords and Commons on the metropolitan railways upon the table, said he was anxious to heir testi mony to the satisfactory and harmonious manner in which the joint committee had acted. They had given • very careful consideration to all the questioos brought before them, and it was a matter of congratulation that with the exception of one point the recommendations of the committee had been perfectly harmonious. L\SANE PRISONERS ACT ANIENDMENT BILL. Earl GRANVILLE, in moving the second reading of this bill, said the measure hail bees potatoes! in order to cor rect, an evil which he believed was very generally admitted. By the existing law, which was based on an act of her primed Majesty, it was provided that where two justices of the pesos and two medical men signed a certificate as to the insanity of a prisoner, it should,be obligatory clothe Secretary of State for the time being to remove that prisoner to a lunatic asylum. There was no desire to take the reapousi bility with regard to the certificate from the local author'. ties; on the contrary, it was of advantage that the persons on whom the duty devolved should be persons who were likely to make themselves well teformed upon every case brought under their notice. It was therefore proposed by the bill still to require the certificate to be signed by two medical men, but such medical men were to be appointed b► the visiting justices, and their certificate was not to be binding ape the Secretary of State. This wsa the essence of the bill, but if any further information were required, he should Fe happy to afford it. After some remarks by Lord ST. LEOSARDs and Lord Wourifoceit, the bill was read a second time, and their lordahips adjourned at 2, minutes put 6 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--.-MONDAY, F'Es. 29.

Mr. H. ftEYMOCR gave notice, that on a future day he would bring the subject of the Ealmiutioal Commission before the house. DETENTION OF BRITISH SHIPS. Lord R. CECIL—I begto give notice thato; the first open del after Easter I shall move the following resolution That it is ancoostitutional and iimasistent with the rights of her Majesty's subjerta, that • minister of the crown, without the authority of any statute enabling him to do so, should order the deteeti a of ships holutigiag to British owners in this country." (Cheers.) THE SPY SYSTEM.

COAST AND DEEP SEA FISHERIES. Mr. BLAKE naked the honourable member for Stirling districts whether the royal commission for inquiring into and repretiog on the coast and deep sea fisheries of the Visited Kingdom, of wLich be was a member, would visit Ireland during the present year. Mr. CAIRD said the corm:ll.6°lmm hoped to be able to finish the inoniry on the Enlist' coast by August oast, after which they would prooeed to Ireland. DANISH VESSEL OF WAR. - - - - Mr. DMA; LlBll asked the Coder Secretsry of State for Fortin Attu's, a•lvertine to the .tatemeot teat a steamer of 3,000 toss and haseeposeer, plated with 44-inch armour from stem to stern, yes laucched oa Wedimeday from the yanl of the builders of the Pimple*, sod said to be the property of the D inish covererne.t. whether, if such should prove to be the ems, the soveraineat would seize her as they had seized the Pamper°, Of would permit her to sail front the Ciyde l (Hear, bear.) Mr. LA l'A RD—ln answer to the question of my hon. friend I will state exactly what took place shortly before hostilities hroke out between the German powers and Denmark. The Danish minister to this country informed the noble lord at the head of the Foreigmodioe that a vowel hitereled for the purpose of war was being built is the dockyard alluded to, but he said that it was not his desire to pat byr Nlajesty's roverament to soy limos.- oieoca or trouble in the matter—that he wished to do what was right. and would at ones stop the fitting out of the yeast& It w.a thought bitter to stop it, but the builders remonstnited, stating that it would be very hard opal them, awl that it would put them to groat Mame.- nieece and loss if the vessel was not sufficieutll finished to enable them to pot her off the stocks, The 'rapids minister oommunicated that fact to the noble lord, and the noble lord said that he had the most implicit reliance upon the good faith sat word of the Danish minister, and that if he gave his word that the vessel sh o uld not leave the Clyde, be would consent to her being finished and leaviug the stocky. The banish minister did gi,e his word to that effect ; the vessel was completed and left the stocks, and sow remains in this country. (Hear, hear.) I cannot coeclude my remarks without Leming testimony to the meat loyalty and hooourable conduct of the Danish Egoista. (Cheers.) COUNSELS' PEES DI PARLIAMENT. lr W. M 1 LESS, in the absence of Colonel Wilson Patten, asked the Preeident of the Board of Trade whether be in tended to proceed with his bills for the smetidnient of the private haloes, of the home, so MI to enable parties to take advantage of than durisg the premed swim 1 end whether the parliamentary her lend made any communicatioo to him with respect to • change is the system of onotie•W fees, Yes Y. GIBBON—The two Mk to which the how. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1864. gentleman refers stead ironwood reading on Thlridaynext, and should the business of the house permit sae to do so I will proceed with them on that day, and with all convenient deemtah, so that should they pun the parties may have the benefit of them as moos se possible. With regard to the second question, I ham le state that this day I received a commanioesion from an influential member of the paths manta:7 bar, which had the wocureence of the leaders of the parliamentary bar, aI ma blamed. The communication is satisfactory as far se it goes-{a laugh)--Miliough not entirely dealing with the whole question. But to accurate I will read what has been put into my hands, and what lam permitted to malts known to the home. The words are these :—" It is understood that it be not considered inconsistent with the etiquette of the parliamen tary bar for any counsel to appear before • committee of either home of perliamant, if he shall think fit, at • lower rate of fees in respect of daily attendance and consulta tions than that which has hitherto prevailed." Prom the conversation which pored I understood the meaning of that document to be, that any counsel should be permitted to take a cue with a small refresher, or without any ; and with regard to consultation, that the fee upon oonsultation should be such as might be settled between the solicitor and the barrister, without reference to the present practice of having • minimum of five guineas for each consultation. I was further informed that this coosultation fee was not for the future to be taken as a matter of course, but was only to be allowed in cases where the consultation had been wasidered ososeary , by the parties, and bad been actually held. ("Hear, hear,' and a laagh.) I believe there was some misapprehension formerly, as to consultation having bees paid for and yet not actually held. I am told that that was not the case, and that I was rather incorrect in the statement which I made upon the subject, and I am glad to have the °ppm tunity of correcting it. lam told that no change is to be made in the ftei upon the retainer and upon the brief, both of which are to be restricted to the present amounts as the minimum in each ease that eon be taken by a barrister, namely, five guineas on the retainer, and ten guineas on the brief. So that it will be impossible to appear before a com mittee for less thee fifteen guineas. At present they can not appear for leas than thirty guineas ; so that the house will see • considerable reduction has been made by the par lianientary bar. The subject is ander consideration and it is hoped that they will be able to make such • c h ange in their system as will enable concert to practise at the parlia mentary bar under the same rule as regards fees that pie vans in the ordinar7 courts of law and equity. Mr. BENTINCk said he considered the statement of the right hon. gentleman very unsatisfactory, and inquired whether, in the meat of the parliamentary bar not taking upon themselves to alter the system as now proposed, it was the intentioo of the government to deal with the question. Mr. if. GIBSON—I can only say that what my hon. friend has intimated is a possible course, bat I would rather not commit myself upon the subject. I would rather leave it in the hands of the parliamentary bar. (A laugh.) Mr. HADFIELD wished to ask whether the public were confined to the services of the parliamentary bar, or whether it was competent to them to employ barristers to conduct the parliamentary Mounds on such terms as they thought desirable:' Mr. M. GIBSON—I believe, so far as I am informed, there is no rule of the bar in general that would pre vent counsel from p ' before parliamentary commit tees taking the same fees w h are permitted lobe accepted in the courts of law and equity. Whatever rule exists has originated with the parliamentary bar itself. It was alto gether a question of profemiooal etiquette. • friend that Mamba. foie //Wax would, is sower to my gyration, fires genii sato a defence of M. Mainati. (Hear, hear.) What I desired to hear from my boa. friend was some explanation of the charge made against himself. (Hear, arag.) I4g need mrpons perfectly justified bi v ware* 011ie horror .W disgust which lie and man is this hems most feel at befog charged as an aeons. plias in snob an attempt as this—(bear, bean—but my hon. friend did rat give ins or the house as explanation aa to this Mr. Flower who resides at 36. Thurios-equare. Brownest', which is the result of a search of the " Loodon Directory" by the French Precursor, bat I too have searched that Dreamy, and I find that this 35, Tharles-square is also the address of my hon. triad the member for Halifax (Mr. Stiu,sfeld). I rise now to second this motion for the purpose of giving him an opportunity of explaining that which seems to have been forgotten—(hear, bear)—and I am quits sore be will be able to give a most satisfactory one. (Hear, hoar.) Mr. STANSFELD—I hardly understood, I outstay, that my hon. friend was desirous of any explanation from me of the spoils port to which he has referred. He has searched the Directory, and he has found out a fact which ass wily ascertainable, namely, my address. My addrese is 35, Muria-square. As to a letter stated to have been ad. dressed to Mr. Flower, I understand my hoe. friend to ask whether I have any knowledge of that letter. (Hoar, I hear ) Now, I have already stated in general t erms , general because I wished them to apply to one and all of the accusations, that I have no knowledge whatever of them, and have had, and it seems almost too great an iodignity to answer such a question. I have never had the slightest knowledge of proceedings of that character ; and I will add, for I think I am entitled to add, that I have got the belief is them which some boa. gentlemen seemed to entertain. I have been blamed by the hoc. member for Kong's County for having taken the opportunity of defending the character of M. Mazzini ; but I did so for two reasons. The one is, that my name has been implicated in this transaction ; and the other is that I think lam entitled—l think I should be shrinking from the duties driest/ friendship if I had not taken this opportunity of testifying what I will say is not only my conviction, at my knowledge of hie character. (Hear.) What is the question the hon. member saked ? An HON. Murata—Who is Flower Mr. iIIiNNEXSY —I asked whether in truth Mr. Flower is M. Mozzini Mr. STANSFELD—I can have no knowledge. I know nothing about Mr. Flower. Did the lion. gentleman ask any question about the collection of moues, and it so, will be repast j! _ . _ blr . . - HENNEEISY—I asked the bon gentleman whether he at any WIN acted as treasurer, or as a member of a cam • mitts, for the collection of any money to be distributed among the Italian patriots '.' Wrier of " Oh, oh," and " Don't answer.") 11r. STANSFELD—WeII, I will answer the booze. un doubtedly not. Lord HAMILTON—Is Sergeant Fuori an intimate acquaintance of the bon. pothimaes, and is he frequently at his address! (Criss of "Oh, oh.") Mr. W. E. FORSTER—I do not rime to carry on this dis cussion. but I think when it is read to-morrow it will be found that the information it contains is different from that obtained by the French Procureur Imperial. I am quite sure my hoe. friend the member for Halifax has answered all the questions that have been put to him affecting him self in • manner which will be quite satisfactory to the country. I merely rise for the purpose of eying that the hoe. member for ring's County, in alluding to M. Marsh* stated as though it were an acknowledged fact, and ad mitted by M. Mazzini himself, that although he did not eater into plots for the pu rp ose of assassinating the Em peror of the French, yet he did for the purpose of terrifying him. Now, perhaps the hon. gentleman, as he cann o t rise himself, will get a friend to state for him the moos why he made that sasertion. I do not believe H. Mancini ever made that assertion. I have very little knowledge of M. Massini, bet I would take his denial as being true, sod I believe he has never had anything to do with any such plots—(hear, hear)—for any purpose whatever. Mr. Alderman ROSE—The question which we should like to have answered * has M. Rimini ever lived with the hon. gentleman' (Loud laughter.) It is right that the house should have that question answered. I am quite sure it is supposed that it is a fact that be either lodged there or was at some time living in the same house. Will the boo. gentleman answer that question? (Cries of "Dos% meow.") OUK FOREIGN POLICY-DENMARK AND GER- KAN Y. - - - Mr. DLSRAELI took the opportunity of asking some questions with regard to the relations of this country with the continental powers. He understood that. her Majesty's government had succeeded in obtaining the consent of se veral of the great powers to a conference on the Danish queatioe. He wu of opinion that coefereottee under cir cumstances like the present, when hostilities were going on, were seldom other than failures, it:Bummed, as they must be, by unexpected eventa. The experience of a pre vious attempt nine years ago, on the part of Lord Russell, to carry on a conference during the Crimean war, cer tainly did not inspire him with coofideose io the success of the proposed negotiations without an armistice. He stated that it appeared from the papers on the Danish question that ..,ord Russell, in the autumn, made a proposi- Uon to France for interference in the affairs of Denmark, suggesting every possible diplomatic action ; but M. Drouyn de Lbuys, having a perso na l recollection of the negotiation at Vienna, replied that all this had been done to the ease of Poland, with the result of impairing the dignity of both France and England, and be refused to act unless England was prepared to go further, and enter oo • course of real action. It was • question of vital importance whether her Majesty's government had agreed to go further and adopt ulterior measures with France, if the proposed conference shcrild fail ; and if so, what object was to be accomplished! Was it the integrity and independence of Denmark ! on which point all the powers were said to be gle; but was that integrity founded on the retention le d swig and Holstein! If the conferences went on time would be consumed, and with the spring Europe would naturally turn to France to settle the quastion,which all the efforts of England bad failed to adjust; and the result would probably be in what would be called • rectification of the map of the Continent. Whatever might occur, it would be owing to the blundering policy of the government, and but for which there would now be no question of the integrity and independence of Denmark. At present my only ditty (said the right hon. gentleman) is to remind the house of the position in which the country now is, sod that position is most unsatisfactory. It is impossible to know whether we have entered into any conditions with France, or whether France is entering into the conference unfettered by any conditions. It is impossible not to think that before the summer pauses away much may weer which will be both inconvenient and mortifying to this country. (Opposition cheers.) I have nothing from government calculated to guide or enlighten parliament or the country. At this moment the drivers have missed their road, the reins have fallen from their hands, the horses are wild. Now we shall hear the noble lard's answer to my in quiries. (Opposition chaste.) Lord PALIIERSTON—Sir, the right hon. eel:Homan is no great, never, in his own opinion, so successful, as when he has the opportunity of attacking an about man. (Chun.) He was pleased the other evening to take advantage of my temporary absence, having been detained somewhat later than usual by public business ; and now be has wider scope in attacking my noble friend whose place is in the other house of parliament whilst I am here. (Cheers.) With wounderful dexterity, bat still with somewhat of simplicity, he frames his attack upon my noble friend. The right bon. gentleman has been ab sent from his place for the last few davit, pondering over, getting by heart, marking extracts, turning dogs' earn do wn— (a laugh)—in these papers but finding that they contain little or nothing—(laughter from the conservative benches) —little or nothing ce which to found an attack upon those in office, he ransacks " Hansard," he turns over the pages of the "Annual Register," goes back to the Bine Books of ten years since, in order that he might attack my noble friend respecting what happened in I coogratulate my noble friend that the tight bon. gentleman baa foetid the Memo hard to break, and that he has been obliged to go back ten years in order to find some topic to attack. (Cheers.) H 7 noble friend performed with ability and fidelity the duty imposed on him at that time in Vienna. (" Oh, oh," from the opposition.) By the admission of the right boa, gentleman, my noble friend attempted to bring about a peaceable solution. Unfortunately his proposals failed, and war ensued, but rot by our fault, but by the fault of ethics, and that is the charge which is made against my noble friend. He went as fare. he could do, coesisteutly with his duty, to iuduoe Austria and Francs to dachas war, and he failed, and the attempt to prevent war is made a charge against my noble friend. (Hear, hear.) Why, sir, the right hoe. gentleman has talked of diplomatic rubbish, but there is such a thing as parliamentary rubbish—(others) —and parliamentary rubbish is what we often get from persona whose genius and ability ought to guilty th em for better things. (Hear, bear.) The tight boo. gentleman says i that her Majesty's =blisters are in what he very unfortunate circumstances, and seems to regret that he and his ,friends about him have not the management of public affairs, in which case very different indeed would be the present modifier' of the country. Very different indeed! (Loud cheers.) Very dif ferent, if we are to believe is the sincerity of the line of argument taken by the right boo. gentleman, and by hon. I members ma his side of the house. Why what see the cir cumstances in which we have placed the country! We are at peace, we are prosperous, we have been occupied in communications with all the powers of Europe endeavour ing to settle matters without war. If we were led by boo. gentlemen opposite, and especially by the right hoe. gen tleman himself, we ought to have gone to war for Poland because hence was reedy to do so. That is his charge. If we are to believe the argument used by the right hoe. gem- Hemet: to night, because the French proposed war, we should now bat war with Austria sod Peoria for Denmark. He would not have Amok from such an extremity. Well, in my humble opinion. and being uodesirous of the wooer which the right boo. gentlemen and his friends are so anxious to obtain, I think that the country is just as well served by those who are at present in office es they would be by the right boo. gentleman and his (rinds sitting on those beeches—(cheers and laughter) —were they to act up to their and his arguments oe great European questions. (Hear, bear.) The right hoe. gentleman complains that he is uninformed oe the Danish question, and be arks the government to enlighten his ignorance. Now, there are some persons who like to run away with half a story, and find it more convenient than waiting for the whole, to form • conclusion. 1 am sure that the right bee, gentleman places us in a very embarrassing position, because when I de paper, are g iven, he ye that we have treated the hews unfairly, and that there is se information woo which to forma just conclusion. But this evening he nays than when we pre SOO pages of Mate papers be was more time ever unable to ease to a omoluirion. (Cheers.) He is in fact very difficult to phase. Give him no papers, and he coni ' plains, and if you give bins the whole papers then he is lees thee ever al= kr form a rational conclusion. (A laugh.) The fact is that some minds are so constituted that give them papers or so paps= they are unable to understand great questions. (laughter.) I think, however„ that the right hon. pntlearian was quite right in the course in which be proceeded. He has, in common with the rest of the home, the papers corning down to the latter sod of December. It is evident that these papers could only contain a portion of the communications which have pealed between this government and others upon the Danish question. The right hon. gentleman, however, thought it more convenient, and no doubt he was right, to get up and roe= • flash about the conduct of the government—though that formed bit • very small portion of his speech—upoo the Danish question with this imperfect statement rather than wait for the papers which he will have to-morrow, and which will bring down the negotiations toa much later period. (Hear, hear.) There fore I can only my that it would be a long story to tell m sight hon. friend all that is 300 cupid in those papers, which he will have to read mom at Lis leisure in the course of tomorrow ; but let him wait now, and let the house wait, before they draw a conclusion as to the course we have pursued either in accepting proposals, answering proposals, or making moposals to others, till they get the whole state ment, which they will have in the coursed • very few hours, and then he and the house will be better able to judge what the course of her Majesty's government has been. (Hear.) Our object from the first to the last has been to endeavour to conciliate differmoss—(hear, bear,)—to bring together parties holding opposite, and even incompatible opinions ; to mideavour to modify exasperations ; and to produce ' peaceable settlement of that which threatened to be the cause of European war. (Hear, hear.) One of the charges which the right hon. gentleman makes against my noble friend is, that he was too abundant in his suggestions of means for the &Mainmast of that end; that if one failed he proposed another, and this is what the right hon. gentle man celled " diplomatic rubbiab"—that my noble friesd was fertile in expedient', and, finding one proposal not likely to succeed, suggested soother, and never was daunted by the ill mem= of one proposal, still hoping to find some other by which he might arrive at the desired result. In stead of that being a charge against my noble friend, I say it is rather • compliment to him borne by one who is at the same time endea vouring to run him down. (Hear. hem) The right hon. gentleman asks whether at one period we agreed to accept the proposal of France, and whether at another period we made • different one. I ask him really to have the kindness to wait only • few hours and he will have the whole of the correspondence in his hands. And lam per fectly satisfied that in a week's time, when he gets up upon the motion for going into supply, with all the knowledge io his bead which he has not now got in his head—(laughter) - we shall sot have the name language from his lips which he has been pleased to give expression to oo the present oc casion. (Loud cheers.) Mr. S. FITZGERALD observed that Lord Palmerston had given no reply to the questions m to the principle' of the proposed conference. He believed the country was in • most critical condition. and that this state of things had been produced by the policy of the government. The subject then dropped. THE BUDGET.

THZ_ELFAM7OIIDIMiIiti RAMMING COMPANY, In the winding up of this company, now carrying on in this court, the of liquidator sought to charge Mrs. Bul mot se a contributory for 25 shares in her own right. It appeared that she was the executrix sad residuary legatee of Mies Clarkson, whodled in 1858, and who held the shares in question. Upon timeshares Mrs. Balmer bad received the usual dividends, signing the receipts for them as sm. nutria till 1861. The receipts, however, foe 1862 and 1863 she had signed without the addition of executrix, but she bad applied in writing for the latter dividends in the repre sentative capacity. Mr. fiwanston appeared for the liquidator, and contended that by reason of sloth( the receipt. in her proper name she mast be takes to have assented to the bequest to her, as residuary legatee, of these shares, and so to the liability incident to bolding them. Mr. Roxburgh, for Kra Balmer, contended that she had not complied with the requirements of the deed of settle ment, by which almss she could constitute herself a share holder, unless such requirements were mutually waived. The signature of the last receipts must be taken in connec tion with her application as executrix. His Honour held that Mrs. Balmer had not beoome aI . shareholder in her own right, but solely in her represents. tire capacity. (Before Vior-ChaooellorOd.) TAUNTON e. TNN NATAL INAUZANCZ CON PANT..

Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. P. H. Lewis. _ _ . The jury retuned a verdict of Not Ottiftg. The prusoaer waa Urea charged upon a seooad iodictmaat with so•ffeace or the same character. In this mu the jury again returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. Metcalfe said that he wu instructed to proceed with a third charge, and the prisoner wu consequently put upon , his trial upon another indictment which charged him with embezzling other sums, the property of the seine society. The learned counsel, in opening the cane to the jury, com plained of the manner in which the two lest cases had been summed up by the learned judge, and said that U the court bad been differently constituted, and if the learned judge who usuall► presided had been present, he should probably not have felt himself compelled to take the course he had done in pressing so many inquiries upon the attention of the jury Mr. Commissioner Kerr, upon hearing this observation of the learned counsel, interposed, and called upon him to with draw the observation be had made. Mr. Metcalfe wished to know what was the observation re ferred to by the learned judge which he required him to withdraw. Mr. Commiasioers Kerr said that the observatiou he re quired him to withdraw was that if the court had been differently roastitated and the burned judge who usually presided had bees peewit, be should not have taken the course be bad dope Mr. Metcalfe said that be did not intenl anything disre spectful to the court in what he had stated. Mr. Commissioner Herr mid he should not argue the matter, but if the observation was of withdrawn he should adjourn the court sad consider what further steps should be Mkan in the matter. Mr. Metcalfe repeated that be did not intend anTthiog disrespectful to the court. Mr. Commissioner Kerr laid that he considered the ob servation that had been made was highly disrespectful, and be believed that every one in court mud the saineopinioe. (Here there were loud cries of „ Hear, hear.") He should insist upon an unconditional withdrawal of the observation. Mr. Metcalfe, opal this, said that if his lordship consi dered the observation disrespectful, he should of course withdraw it. The ease then proceeded, but the evideooe was pretty much the same as upon the other two indictments. The • prisoner was proved to h►ve received several small sums from id members of the society, bat it appeared that he had accounted for searly the whole of them, and that apoa one occaidoa be had complained V. the trustees that Were were so sassy eatries to be made that it was impossible for him to enter the whole of thins, sod an assistant was pro vided for him. The learned Commissioner, in summing up, raid that it appeared to hint that the statement that bad be en m a d e by the tr us tee as to the prisoner oomplaining of the amount of duty that he was required to perform, was the explanation of the whole transaction, and that there really were no grounds fur melds( a charge of embezzlement against him. The jury again returned a verdict of Not Ouilfp. Mr. C 0011114110114. Kerr then observed that be entertained the mine opinion be bad expressed with reference to the first case that had been tried, that the evidence was quite insufficient to support the charge of embezzlement, and that the proper noun to have been taken was to have applied to a magistrate midst the provisions of the Friendly Societies Act, by whom the dispute with regard to the mousy could have been settled to the most satisfactory manner, at the expense of a few shillioxs. Instead of doing this the society had thought proper to prefer all these ie. dicta:tents at very great wet, rod, uuder the circumstances, Its should make no order for the payment of the (apemen. There was a fourth indictment against the prisoner, but Mr. Metcalfe declined to offer any evidence in support of it, sad when the little seen. above narrated bad bees brought to a conclusion, the prisoner was ordered to be discharged. William (hire, pleaded guilty to a charge of emhaule meat, sod it appeared that he had been before convicted of robbing a former master of a considerable quantity of valuable jewellery, and that he had also attempted to coconut another robbery in an establishment where he hail obtained employment after he came out of prison. He was mottoes() to five years' penal servitude. Andrew. .11• Lean, 53. pleaded guilty to a charge of tinkle. fully emleavonring to obtain roomy by false pretences from Bares Templeton. He also pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining a sovereign from Alexander Maine by false pee tenon. The primmer is a notonous begging-letter imposter, and be has been convicted at the instance of the Meudicity Society on a great many occasions. He was sentenced to 18 mouths' imprisonment upon the ant indictment, and to be kept in penal servitude for three year, opt.° the second. Melon the Common Serj ean t.)

Mr. COX-1 wish to put a question to the bon member for Halifax (Mr. Stansfe/d). I beg to ask him whether his attention las been railed to what Ma taken place in Paris daring the recent trial, and to what fell from the crown prosecutor on that occasion. The Grown prosecutor is re ported to have used these words :—•' He said that Greco was in want of money, that his address was as follows—• Mr. Flower, Thurloe-iquare3s, Brownlee, London.'" He went on to say- -•• I searched the London Directory, and at page 170 I found what I was looting for, sad it was not without widow that I recognised the same of a member of the parlia ment of Elegised, who already, in 1857, bad been appointed by Massini treasurer to the Tibaldi plot, which was con cocted against the life of the Emperor." I have, myself, referred to the London Directory, and I find the name of the hon. member for Halifax at the addless alluded to. STANSFk.LD—Sir, I am indebted to the hon. mem ber for linsbery for having enabled me to answer at once the question of which he gave me notice at an early period of the evening. My attention was directed this worming to the speech of the Procureur, from which he has just read an extract, and I must say that the astooishaient with which I read that speech was mingled with somewhat of a stronger feeling. It appears to me, air, that for the crown prosecutor of a friendly power to imagine in the first instance, and in the second place to venture to insinuate, that one who has the bower of a seat in the British House of Commons, and who, however unworthily, beepsr to occupy the position of a minister of the mown, that he could, directly or indi rectly, have ever participated, maven have been conscious of any supposed implication in attempt. which. if serious, mast excite the execration of mankind. Such a statement Is sufficient to excite feelings not only of asto nishment, but also of indignation. (Hear, hear.) I trust it is quite unnecessary—in fact I confess I should feel it an in dignity, if I were called upon to plead to an indictment like this, and I declare in this house that I share in the feel lags of all decent men with regard to attempts of this kind, about which there can be but one opinion ; but if there be to my mind some counter-eatedaction io the indignity of such a suspicion as this, it is that it gives me the opportu nity. upon this occasioo, and from this place, to bear my testimooy to the character of a man whom I have known for some 18 years, and than whom I have never seen, I have Dever heird or read of a man who has been more cruelly and more ehamef oly maligned. (Hear. hew.) I speak, as I bare said, from an iatousite persoitel knowledge of eighteen years, and I have yet to learn that that knowledge, and the , convictioos which it produced will sot have loan elect upon the minds of this hour.. and of the public. The name of AI. Martini has been area. elated with this attempt, but I pledge my minimal knowledge of him for the conviction that he is absolutely incapable of having had any concern io it. (Hear, hear.) I will go further. It Le impossible that 1 could have read the extract which my hon. friend has given to the house without having occupied the time which has intervened in making somas inquiries and in ascertaining how it was pos. bible that such an iminuatioa could have been uttered. I have made inquiries, and I am satisfied in my owe hind—l will sot anticipate declarations which it i► the right of others to wake la the first place, but I have satisfied my own mind that d sod when the ewe should come to be fairly tried, the answer will be complete and eansfactory is every respect. (Chlorc) Mr. RENNFIIST—I think it is somewhat unfortunate, looking to the fact that the lion. gentleman—ferias of " order.")—l shall (occlude with a motion. TM bolus must feel that the honourable gentleman was en titled to the fullest latitude in all that he said referring to himself, bat be has introduced other topka not strictly personal to himself, sod which having come before the house should be put before it in th-ir title colours. Reference has beau made to N. tlassini. wish to my what I believe to be the opinion of many gee tlemea in this hones, that it is unfortunate that the cha racter of M. Mamma sod hie pmceediags should be brought before us is this way without notice, and when so one ex pected it ; and 1 will venture to my at the same time that the languor'e published within the last few weeks by Marzioi himself leads every man who reads is to believe that grave suspicion attaches to Menial. What has be recently written! A certain pen°. named Greco was arrested is Fresco, along with other persons, for weeping &mutat the life of the Emperor. 314:alai writes letters to the newspepers in which he calls Green "an enthusiastic patriot ;" sad he admits that be was to personal oornmnuicatioa with him last year. Now I put it to the house is Greco an enthusiastic patriot! What is the theory of those who believe that Green sad his accom plices were in fact the instruments of the French rice They allege that Greco wan a spy. (Hear, Mat.) The honourable member for Bright°n says yes, sod yet Mazzini calls him an enthusiastic patriot. I will not now enter into the Question, as it is not denied by tbo hon. gentleman that M.
