THE =NUM SATURDAY .E; IMPERIAL P. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FIUDAY, Mews 18. The LOID ciamiciu.oa took his seat upon the woolsack at 5 o'clock. The royal sweat was given to the OcoeeMated Feed (584,6501.) Bill, the Comolidded Feed (4,100,00 W.) Bill, Sir J. Lawreeoe's Salary Bill, the Linkmen Bill, the Mu. taw Hill, and the Mario. Mutiny Bill. The Commissiocers were the Lard Chinosllot, the Earl of St. Germans, and Viscous t Sydney. The iiiogstoo-upon-Thames Gan EM was read a wooed time. The Drogheda Water Bat, the Swansea Harbour Truat Bill, and the Commercial Docks and Grand Surrey Docks and Canal Bill were read a third time and paused. for me to add anything to what has bed - einted. --- /am sure the whole house will joie with me in regretting the dismantles which has taken place. (Hew, hear.) lam certain -that my right boo. friend, like imyself, must regret that pain should have been given to the hoe. member for Docile' by statement& arisiag out of the debate. But I should really hope that sitar the frank and heedemem ex i.tiatim tion made by my right boo . friend (sheen and ter)—the hon. member for Dudley will accept that az ' and not proceed further in the matter. ( Cheers.) ) SHERIDAN-1 have been called upon by the right hoe. gentleman to reply to him. I have been challenged by the right hon. gentleman to my whether or not in the course of the debate raised by him I denied certain allega tions which he had made. Sir, I never beard any allega tions made of the character to which he evidently refers. But immediately after the speech of the right bon. gentle man, from which the present debate has arisen, I did rise in my place and state that I had acted an auditor of the com pany many years age—that I audited two balanceaheets a peat many pan ego—that its baptisms was mound and pro fitable, and that I knew of no transactions in regard to that company which deserved censure on the part of the right boo. gentleman. I further stated that I ceased to bold soy coneezion with the company after 1856, and that I was in entire ignorance of is. affairs, and not responsible for any of the conditions which attached to its management, and I could neither then nor last night endentand why or how it was that my name was associated with the company. (Cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The hon gentleman hes made the declaration to wbiob I relerred— mr, hear)—and he will forgive me if I have been misled on a single point. The hon. member states that be quitted the company in 1856, bat I found 'nig name as auditor in 1859. I can only say that in the statement I made I acted on the evidence of what appeared to be a published docu ment of an existing company. However that may be, ac °option the declaration of the bon. gentleman, I can only my that I must expresso my regret for any pain I may have occasioned to him by the statement I made on a former evening. (Cheers.) Sir J. HAY—Sir, I think, after the very satisfactory ex planation which has fallen from the right boo. gentleman it would be very unfair in me to premed further with my motion. I have not the honour of the acquaintance of the boa member for Dudley ; my only object was to obtain for the first assembly of gentlemen in Europe that which I think was due to the honour of each of its members. (Hear, bear.) We all entertain a high respect for the elo quence and ability of the right hon. gentleman, but I and others felt there was something cruel, as it were, after the explanation of the bon. member for Dudley, that the right boo. gentleman' did not rise in his plans gird freely and frankly accept that explanation in the same spirit and manner in which be has done to-day. (Hear. hear.) I trust the house will excuse me for having intruded upon it, but I feel that in the muse I have taken I have dams it a service. (Cheese.) ADJOURNMENT FOR THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. Lard PALILERSTON—Sir, I move that the house on ita rising do adjourn to Monday fortnight. GERMANY AND DENMARK. Earl RUSSELL—Seeing that the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Elleaborougli) bee given notice of his intuition, on the motion of adjournment, to call the attention of your lordships to the actual state of affairs in Germany and Den mark, I rise on public grounds to request that the noble earl will "!. " I; rm o e tth Pr r e rhar " t jr d i c hr ai° t could oi the question. nonte ° es p earl would ln tend to s ila y aremil the difficulties by which the question is surrounded ; and for my own part, I mut say that I should have been very glad to have rendered the fullest explanation respecting the conduct of the go vernmeot in reference to the etfaini of Denmark and Ger many. But there are reasons of public policy which make it desirable that no discussion should take place at this moment. In the first plum, I have to present by oommand of her Majesty various papers in ootainuation of those which were laid on the table a short time 'Ago. These papers contain the further correspondence which has taken place up to a very recent period' In the next place. then has been a correspondence carried on with regard to the holding of a conference and to the proposed armistice, and I have good hope. that the Danbh government will agree to that oonferenax If that should be the ease, I trust, on the ground of humanity, that an armistice on timbales already proposed will be asoeptable to all parties. (gear, bear.) lint that matter is still in doubt, and your lordship. will see that a discussion of the subject, while such doubt exists, is very undesirable. f therefore trust that the noble earl will, on grounds of public policy, postpone the discussion until all the papers are in your lordships' hands. Although, as I have already stated, I have no fear that anything which the noble sari may say would interfere with the settlement of the question, yet any discussion slight be liable to mis apprehension by the parties now engaged in the war, and might thus tend to the public injury, and prevent the success of the negotiations which are now being carried on. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROLTGII—Under the circum stances Meted by the noble earl I canoot take upon myself the rampoosibility of bringing on at this moment a discussion ou the present state of affairs in Germany and Denmark. At the same time I cannot come to the cooclusion at which the noble earl has arrived, and I by no mean. participate in his opinion that a discussion of the subject would produce any injurious results. On the contrary, lam very much afraid that if we adjourn this dismission we shall postpone it until a period when it will be too late to produce any beneficial effect. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DES ART—I regret that your lordships are alarms out with the same excuse, that negotiations are still going on—eitgotiatiocis " never ending, still beginning," nntil the result is absolute failure. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE—It gives me much pleasure to find that the noble earl has acquiesced in the request which has been made to him. At the same time I cannot refrain from expressing my apprehension that considerable doubts still hang over the prospect of a confer ence on the affairs of Denmark and Germany. Teo days have elapsed Glace the last discussion of the subject in your lordships' boner. and the official language still held respect. ing the conference is confined to the expression of a mere hope. It appears that no basis of negotiation has been established. Coder such circumstances, with every wish for a peaceful settlement of this question, and with all due feelings of deference to the government, I cannot look forward to the issue of the pending difficulties without the most painful apprehensions. (Rear.) The subject then dropped. MALT FOR ANIMALS BILL. This bill peered through committee. COL - RT OF CHANCERY (DESPATCH OF BUSINESS) BILL. no the motion of the LORD Cianczu.oa, this bill was read a second time, his lordship explainiog that its object was the appointment of a dirk is consequence of the aug mentation of business.

The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the fable a bill to enable the proprietors of land to amidst the construction of railways which would directly benefit their estates. The bill was founded on the reppoort of a select committee, end the proeisions of the Land Acts had been followed in its construction. _ _ Tbs bill wu teed a fist time. THE ENLISTMENTS FOR THE KEARSAGE. Oa the motion fat the adjournment of the home for the I, rd CLANRIC.IRDE referred to the letter of the cap tain of the Federal ship of war Kearsage on the enlist ment of certain British seamen on board that meg, and asked for some explanation of the discrepancy between the statement of the American c►ptain and the evidence given on the trial of the sailors, who had pleadel guilty to the charge of enlisting in a foreign service. Lord RUSSELL thought no complaint could be made of I the government in the matter. It was charged with not prosecuting in such mats, but in this instance a conviction had been obtained. He could not explain the circum stances under which the men appeared to have been en listed. as from the letter of the report of the lieutenant of the ship no very grave offence seemed to have beea com mitted. ibis Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave ootioe that on a future day be should move for copies of the information and depositions on which the indictment was framed, and also for a copy of the indictment. Their lordships then adjourned at eve minutes past 6 until Tuesday, the sth of April. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Fitiar, Dawn 18. The SPLEZE took the chair et 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tim following bills wars read a third tints and paused : Abarbrothwick Harbour, sad WAD and Belfast Junction Railway Bilk. ROYAL COMMISSION. Colonel IL C. S. Curronn, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod. appeared at the title, lad 'summoned Mr. Speaker and the house to the House of Lords to hear the royal com mission read and assent given to certain bills, for the titles of which MO Lords' report. SLESWIG HOLSTEIN. Mr. OSBORNE asked the Ent Lord of the Tressury whether bee Majesty's government had ground. far believiog that the order 0f "accession io Holstein and Steswig, which was contemplated by the treaty of Loudon, word,' be con muted to by the assemblies of estates in those duchies. Lord PALMERSTON— In the grit place we have no certain knowledge that an assembly of the estates is to be convened. I know that on the part of some portions of Gamey there is an anxiety that there should be such an ”sserribli-, but then there is a doubt as to whether the par liament bas the power to assemble them. Until the estates have been assembled, it is impossible for use to say wkst will be done. Mr. OSBOBNE—Am Ito understood the noble lord that, in hie opinion, the estatr have not the right to assemble Lord r PALMERSTON—I do not quite uoderstood my boo. Mood's question. These estates are liable to be scru mmed by competent authority ; but I believe there is a doubt as to where that authority rests. Mr. OSBORNE—What, in eousoquence of the treaty of 1852 ? Lord I'ALIIERSTON—Tbe treaty has nothing to do with it whatever. Holstein aed Sleswig are now occupied by hostile forces, and the legitimate authority of the King of Denmark, who is duke, has been supplanted by thews foreign powers—(" bear," "nn ") —and consequently there is no competent authority to summon the estates. Sir H. VERNEY—CouId they nob be summoned in • constitutional manner, by obtaining the opinion of the in habits Ste of the duchies ! Lord PALHERsTON—That ism question of policy upon which I cannot give an opinion. THE EDUCATION MINUTES. Mr. A DDERLEY gave notice that on the first vacant day after the recess he should more that the minute of council of March 11 did not meet the objection that had been made to the minute of May 1:163„ THE CHANCELLOR OFTiIEEXCREQUER AND MR. SHERIDAN, Sir John Hay being about to bring forward the subject of the dispute betweei. Mr. Cladatone and Mr. Sheridan, a conversation on a technical point ensued, in the course of which The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that he had brought forward the care of a company in illustra tion of his argument against the system on which he was debating; ■nd he added that the bearing of his reference to Mr. Sheridan in connexion with the cal-nosey was indirectly to deprecate the custom of gentlemen of position lending their names to associations of which they knew little or nothing, which operated as • gwaraetee of their soundness. He gave an opportunity to Mr. Sheridan of freeing himself from any imputation which was implied by his connexion with the company, but that, in his opinion, had not been done; and he (Mr. Gladstone). while reiterating what he bad said, declared that if he had stated, that if be bad uttered what was capable of being contradicted, he was liable to severscensure from the house. Oa that be was prepared to stand or fall. All he would say was that if Mr. Sheridan bad made a distinct dosed o f what bad been emerged it would have relieved him of all adverse presumption •saiust him. Lord i',II.3IIII.STON —I should hops that after the ex idsusticsi cl my right hos. Woad it will be u--.s. BRADFORD WATERWORKS RESERVOIRS. Mr. FERRAND rots to call attention to the dangerous state of the Doe-park and other reservoirs belonging to the Bradford Corporation Waterworks. . . Sir G. GREY said he thought the hon. member had taken rather an inconvenient mode of bringing the facts tinder the notice of the government. If the hon. gentleman would be kind enough to reduce those facts to writing, he would take immediate steps to institute au inquiry on the subject, with • view of placing the reservoirs referred to in a state of perfect security. COLLECTION OF TAXES BILL. In answer to Sir B. WILLOUGHBY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid that hi proposed to go into committee on this bill pro forma. Con sidering the various amendment' to be proposed. be should ask the bouts to allow the bill to be reprinted. If that were agreed to, be would name the lath or the 20th of April for its committal. (Hear.) M. MAZZINI AND MR. STANSFELD. Lord ELCHO, baviog observed that the division on the previous night had left the house in a false position, and that there was still one course open by which it could be set right, asked whether Mr. &muteld, when he became aware of the position in which he had pieced the govern ment and the country through his friendship with M. Max sini. bad tendered his resignation, and if so whether the offer bad been refused. Lord PALMERSTON—Sir, I cannot but regret that my noble friend, in asking this question—which he might have done simply and without dilating upon other matters—ham thought fit to revive the discussion of last night—(cheers) —and which I certainly hoped had been then concluded. (Continued cheers.) i shall, therefore, abatein from following the example of my noble friend in going into that question again. I will simply answer the question he has put to me. The noble lord asks whether my hon. friend did not, suba:queetly to the notice taken of this matter by the hon. member for Finsbury, tender the resignation of his office ? My boo. friend immediately made a communication to me through • common friend, to the effect that he placed his office entirely at the disposal of the government—(cheers)—and that at the @lightest intimation from me he would tender his formal resignation of that office. My answer was, that I I did not wish him to take that step ; and if there is any responsibility attaching to that decision, I ant perfectly willing to take that responsibility. (Cheers ) Mr. W. E. DUNCOMBE expressed his extreme surprise at the decision at which the noble viscount had arrived. He did not think it was worthy of her Majesty's government that one of their colleagues in that house should have been for 17 years an intimate friend of Martini, a man who hail I not the courage to carry out his own diabolical schemes— (" Oh, oh," and cheers)--• man who, skulking under the protection which this free country gave him, plotted and conspired against the crowned heads of Europe, and the established governments of Europe, and sent forth his etnis• caries to every capital of Europe to produce anarchy, and, if possible, to overthrow governments with which this conmer was to alliance. (Hear.) Mamini was • man who had been excluded from foreign countries, and who, he believed, dared sot show his face in Italy. because he was known robe the plotter and conspirator of Europe. He was a disgrace taiga nation, and any person who had directly or indirectly any dealings with him shared a portion of that disgrace. (Hear, hear.) Alderman ROSE thought that the statement from the noble lord would produce surprise not only in this country. but throughout ti r e continent. The government bad thought proper to endorse the conduct o. one of her Ma jesty • ministers in this matter. (Hear. hear.) He thought the subject would not be allowed to rest as the noble lord supposed. It had created throughout France such an effect that he believed the noble lord would yet have to regret that be bed thought fit to take the course he had done, in stead of accepting the resignation which had been placed in his hand* (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. E. MUSTER—My hon. friend states candidly and scknowledges with regret that M. Harsher, beiog unable to receive letters from the continent in his own name, he allowed his letters to be directed to his house, as they were to the houses of other of M. Maulers friends ; bat my hon. friend does not know that H. Mazzioi ever gave the name of Mr. Flower, and does not supper) he ever did. Now, the whole of this scandal comae to this. My hon. fatted says be has been aNnainted with M. Mazzirti for many years, that he did not refuse him access to his house. and that not having refused him access to his house, he did not tell him he should get no letters there, and that it wan possible that letters may have been intended to he sent by some one to his louse in the name of Flower. I quite grant that my hors. friend did make • great mistake, and did commit au indiscretion, in allowing the letters to be addressed to his house. (Cherie.) He has expressed his regret for that. (No, no.) Is the house prepared to say that they think this ought to prevent my hoe. friend from continuing in the administration, of which he is a credit and an ornament—that be ought no longer to remain • member of the government because be has the friendship of Bleazini, and has committed this indiscretion, which be now regrets? That is the simple question ; and the noble viscount, with that courage and generosity which makes him so popular in this house sod the country, has declared that he will not he the instru ment of driving my bon. friend away from office because he has committed that indiscretion. (Hear, hear.) lam quite sure that the house will not be parties to turning my hon. friend out of office on the grounds brought forward, and that the country will support them in such a determina tion. (Cheers.) Sir J. WALSH would ask the boo. gentleman the mem ber for Halifax whether, considering the position in which he had placed this house—(ob, oh)—in which he had placed the government of which be was • member—(oh. oh) — whether it did not occur to him as a gentleman and • man of honour that it would be • more proper and becoming course on his part not merely to intimate to the noble lord through a third perry that he would be ready to give up his place if the noble lord asked him to do it, but to frankly and in a direct manner terrier positively and absolutely the resignation of his office. (Hear. hear.) Lord PALMERSTON explained that it was his intention to have said that his hoe. friend had, through a common friend, plsoed himself and his office entirely at his disposal. (Hear, hear.) ' Mr. 11A LIBURTON said they were told that this was an act of indiscretion on the part of the hoe, member for Bradford. (Cries of Halifax.") Well, Halifax ;he ought to have recollected that word. (Laughter.) It ap peared to him that there had been consecutive blunders, and he did not think that any man possessing proper feelings ought to have gone into an administration carrying with him the friendship of a man like Mauini. (" Hear, hear "from the Opposition.) Nor did he think the noble lord at the head of the government should h►ve invited a friend of Mazzi ni— nut a secret friend, but a man who gloried in and avowed his friendship as one of the greatest patriots of the day—into bin administration. Mr. HENLEY said if the matter bad been frankly avowed —if there bad been no attempt to conceal or to keep back anything—then the whole question would have stood in a very different position. and the noble viscount would bare at present stood in a much higher positioo, for he had, he was sorry to say, been a party to keeping the information back—for the noble lord had told them that the matter was brought fully to his notice. There ought to have peen a disclaimer no the part of the rveroment of the indieerstion committed, and if it had been so avowed, the whole thing would have pulled away at once. If a man made an indiscretioo, and frankly owned it, there was no one in that house but would have acid, " You have ben a foolish fellow, and there in an yodel IV But if • man attempted to hide • halt, sad had set the manliness to acknowledge it, all the world would *der such circumstances think there was something more behind, and they would not believe that the whole state meet from begins/as to end had been mule. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LAYARD—I do not wish to prolong this discussion, bat I have been so completely misrepresented by the right hon. gentleman sod others that I must say one word. I said nothing in regard to M. Mareini's opinions. Bet I said that the French government had made no ocnn municatioe in reference to the matter to this country, and that it was for that government to make • communication if it should think it necessary to require an explanation. The Emperor of the French knew this reentry better than most men on the continent, and he would feel that the accusation made against • member of the go vernment sad • member of this house was so monstrous, that no one would believe it to be true. The French go vernment had not thought fit to ask for any explanation, and I do not think it is • matter in which the government should come forward and make • communication respecting it. (Hear, bear.) Major KNOX wished break the hon. member for Halifax whether it was true that his name appeared among the majority of ten who voted in the division of last night, and if so, whether it was not against the rules of the house for him to take part in the dimwit,. Mr. B. OSBORNE—Sir, the right hos. gentleman the member for Oxfordshire, in the few remarks which he made to the Louse, commenced by saying that this was • painful subject. No doubt it is a very painful subject, but somehow or other I have remarked in the coulee of my parliamentary ex patience that there is nothing which this house so much delights in. (Laughter.) Nothing which will bring snob • numerous attendance as • purely painful and personal subject—(" oh," and laughter)—g od my noble friend the member for Haddingtoushire (Lord Elcho), when he ad. dressed himself with so much unction tonight to this painful subject, may have reflected that this painful sub se was assuming the aspect of a painful persecution. Cheers.) No two lads lately emancipated for the holidays from scbool could, I am sum, have presided over the impalement of a cockchafer with greater glee than had the bon. gentleman the member for South ampton (Alderman Rose) and the noble lord the member for Haddio tonshire (Lord Echo). Sir, the civic dignitary, the hon. aldrman, having on • nowt occa sion, not being satisfied with hunting M. Miusini through every gyration, put • question to the hon. member for Halifax as to w hether it was true that Martini bad ever lived in his house, concluded by asking whether be paid for his washing. (Roars of laughter.) To-night another bon. gentleman, • member from the sister country (Major Knox) rises and asks the hog. member for Halifax whether be voted is the majority. Why should he sot have voted? Major KNOX—It was against the rules of the house. Mr. B. OSBORNE—I have no sympathy whatever with the views of the hon. gentlemen, but I wish to correct a statement made by an hon. member opposite, that the hon. member for Halifax had been offered • set in the cabinet. Why, the boo. gentleman only fills • humble seat in the Admiralty barge, and whet this persecution calls for is that this clever young man shall be hunted out of this minor office of the administration. lam reminded by the discus sion of last night that we have so little to do in the way of real business that we appear to be doing nothing but de bating personal questions, and then getting up with hypo critical faces end saying they are very painful subjects (Hear, hear.) It appears to me that, next to roasting • bishop, there is nothing so agreeable to the house as that of baiting • member of the admiuis tration. (Laughter.) Now, sir, I have no particular confidence in her Majesty's government, or in any of the members of the administration, but I should be ashamed of myself if I were to pitch upon any one member, and that • very humble member, who has no aristocratic COODOZiOIII, and who has made himself a character by his remarkable abilities, and hunt and bait him night after eight, end use opprobrious expressions towards him, as we have seen during the last few nights. (Hear, hear.) I lament the indiscretion of the hon. gentleman in regard to M. Marcia. I am not acquainted with M. Mancini, end his views I do not much like, and I am not very anxious to meet that gentleman at dinner or in this house ; but let this be recollected, that Mazeini has not yet been put upon his trial. He has to undergo a trial in Paris on this very business which we are pow debating. Therefore, if we are that which we are not, a judicial assembly (because we are incapable and di-qualified by our passions), do not let us condemn a man unbaud, nothav- Mg the facts of the case before us. Now, as regards the in discretion of the hon. gentleman, I would ask the house in sober sadness, are we not rather oarrylue this matter too far? (Hear, hear.) We had the question debated last night, and the hon. baronets have come out pretty strong. (Laughter.) First we had the hon. baronet the member for Devonshire (Sir L Palk), and then bat night we bad another performer, for I never saw a melodramatic part played so well as the dagger and bowl bi loess by the hoe. baronet the member for Great Yarmouth (Sir H. Stracey)— (much Isughte.)—who not only spoke but looked the character. (Roars of laughter.) Well, sir, we had an animated debate last night on the subject, and we came to a division, and I voted with the majority, not that I ap. proved altogether of the conduct of the hon. gentleman, but I felt bound—as I always shell feel bound to—tete • denial which he has given so explicitly—(ministerial ebeers)—instead of taking a dirty advantage, and of wreak ing a small revenge on the government. (Hear, hear.) An hon. member on the other side of the house, who rem sent' some place in Cornwell which I do not remember— (laughter)—his referred to that respectable legal functionary Mr. Celeraft—why and wherefore I cannot understand —but if all the indiscretions of English gentlemen . . in their youth are to be visited upon them in ritee life, would the boa. member (Mr. Haliburton) escape? (Hear, hear.) I think the course which we are pursuing upon this occasion is unworthy the character of an English par 'Utmost, and if I were in the position of the hon. member for Halifax—for I think the position which he holds in the government is unworthy of his talents—l would resign, and I would not consent to hold my seat while these im putations were hanging over me. (Hear, hear.) It is unworthy of uses members of parliament, and it will not be responded to out of doors, to bat night after night a junior lord of the Admiralty. (Cheers.) Mr. FITZGERALD said the question they hail now to do with was not the position of a sulordinate member of the government, but the position which the noble lord at the head of the government had chosen to assume in sanctioning the eulogiem which the bon. gentleman bad passed upon Signor Mazzini, and in approving the conduct of the lion. member in not removing the first night the question was mooted the imputation which had been out upon him. Mr. NEWDECATE said they had now spent two nights in attacking a member of the goveroment, because he bad the indiscretion to Eonsort in former times with a person who had been charged with instigating assassination, but who he said abominated wassination. But be would ask members on that side of the house who were so very zealous in this matter, whether. if a similar course were pursued towards them, imputations almost as grave might not be brought against them. For had they not heard session after session on that side of the House defence of the brigands of Italy, men who burned their prisoners and committed every kind of atrocity, had they not heard members on that side of the Louse say that such men were patriots? If laudation of such men were made on one side of the house, he thought they should show a little forbearance towards members on the other side of the house when defending the character of those with whom they had been associated. He did not think it the duty of the opposition to waste the time of the house in personalities to the interruption of the useful business of ' the country. ' Mr. D. GRIFFITH said he thought it was a rule when any charge was brought against an hon. member that he should withdraw when the division took place, but the hon. member for Halifax voted io the majority last night. He asked whether that was in accordance with precedent. The SPEAKER said the rule was that no member should vote on any question in which be had a pecuniary interest, and also that if any positive charge were brought against any member he slunld withdrew when the division was taken. But the brine would remember that the terms of the motion last night were whether or not a certain matter required the serious 000aideration of the house ; and it cer tainly could sot be said that there had been any violation of the rules of the house in the hon. member for Halifax voting on the motion. Mr. DENMAN' said he frankly avowed that when the hors. member fur Halifax replied to the question of the hon. member for Finsbury, his answer was not satisfactory to a great majority on both sides of the house, certaioly not to those on that (the ministerial) side • because in stead of answering the question categoricay, be allowed himself to be carried away by his feelings. The hon. mem. ber, however, was goi ng on with deteth when he was met by cries of "So, no ," from all sides of the boom, which prevented him going further into explanation. He believed that that interruption arose from a feeling on the part of many members, that further explanations would only enable the police in foreign countries to get porereinion of what was going on by those who were in the position of Martini. He (Mr. Denman) hoped that the decision of the previous even ing would be adhered to ; and so far from weakening her Majeety's government in the eyes of the country, he believed that it would tend greatly to strengthen it ; because it would show tbet they had such an amount of fortitude, and such a sense of justice, that they would not regard the 'needles of procureur-giverals abroad, and would not discard a useful public servant simply because be had had the iodiscretioo not to east off a friend. (Cheers.) Sir J. FERGUSSON observed that if the boo, gentle man thought the question unimportant, this would be the only country in the world where such an opinion of it would prevail. What concerned the house was the fact that the hon. gentleman had male friends with persons who 01111. sophieed upon a loathsome crime, and had allowed hie house to be made the means of communications between the authors of moral or immoral theories of the dagger. For him self he saw with • feeling approaching to disgust so in discreet a person sittieg pest to the first minister of the crown. (Cheers.) In answer to Lord HOTHAM, Sir C. WOOD said that the navy estimates would be taken on Monday fortnight. . . . . ^ Ths motion for the adjournment of the house till that day warn thou agreed to. NOTICES.

SOLINTVIC INswrirnoNs (Dusuw).—Mr. GRZGOEY, on going into committee of supply on Friday, the Bth of April, to more for a select committee to inquire into the state of the institutioes. INTOIICATING banns/.—Mr. Souse on Friday, the 22nd of April, to move for leave to bring in bill to restrain the sale of these liquors on Sunday. Mr. ADDEELEL—That this howl, having considered the minute of council of March 11th on endowed schools, is of opinion that it doss not meet the objections made to the minute of May, 19, 1863, GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES BILL. In answer to Sir W. FARQUHAR, Mr. M. GIBSON said the Chancellor of the Exchequer (who had left the house) wee under the impression that some understanding would be come to for referring this bill to a select committee to consider its clauses, but not to take evidence upon the whole subject. If that course were adopted the motion for going into committee would have to be repeated, and the discusaioe could be resumed, with the advantage that improvements might probably have been introduced into the measure. He (Mr. Gibson) hoped that that plea would be pursued. Mr. HUNT inquired if it was proposed to submit the financial calculations involved in the measure to the com mittee ? Mr. GIBSON—No. The bill as it stood would be re tarred to the committee. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Oa the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. GREGORY called attention to the demolition of the fortresses at Corfu, and the neutralisation of the lonian Islands. The hon. member observed that the manner in which the foreign policy of the government was received in that house was such as to raise • preeramption that the pub lic opinion of the country was not in favour of • system which held up a sort of belance.sheet between concessions to the strong and violence to the weak. He moved for all papers upon the subject to the 14th of November, 1863, his object being to ascertain from' these papers what was the nature and the pressure brought to bear upon the noble lord to induce him thus to have damaged the character of his country. The motion having been seconded, Mr. SMOLLETT was not one of those who thought that the renunciation by Great Britain of the protectorate of the lonian Islands was • matter much to be lamented. So looses the Islands were under the protection of Great Britain the existence of these fortifications was • memorial of our folly, but it was DOW wise that they should be destroyed in order that thee should not fall into other hands, which was not improbable, because he would not insure the throes of this young king for two yews, even in one of the government offices. (Laughter and cheers.) If they should fall into other bands they would remains standing menace to Turkey. Under all the circumstances he was glad that the Islands had been handed over to Greece • whether to a republican or monarchical government he d id not are, out he was glad that we had got rid of them. (Cheers.) Mr. LAYARDsaid it was necessary the fortification; should be destroyed, having regard to the spirit of the treaty of 1815. Among the many complaint brought forward spinet the British government was this, that we were removing the old hutorial Venetian guns. Now that was entirely false. We were only removing those guns which bad been placed there by ourselves. There bad been no desire on our pert either to endeavour to cheat or to humiliate the Greek govern meet. The hon. member opposite (Mr. Swollen) bad characterised the government of England in the lonian Islands as an odious oppression, and after having made that statement, the only person be lauded was the well-known "King Tom." (A laugh.) The hon. gentle loth bad also talked of our having employed decayed poll. titian, as Lord High Commissioners; but surely it could not be and that Sir Henry Storks was • decayed politician. (Mr. Seousrr—His government was most odious to the people.) It was well known that S'ir Henry Storks bad zealously served her Majesty in different parts of the world—(hear, hear)—and that at a time of great difficulty he had acted in • firm and faithful manner, and so as to deserve the gratitude of his own country and that of the lonians, who he (Mr. Layard) believed would ever cherish his memory as an enlightened ruler. (Cheers.) He believed the great bulk of the population of the lonian Islands would regret English rule. (Hear, hear.) He believed that no people on the face of the earth were more prosperous and happy than the population of those islands ; and he only hoped that the time would not come when they would regret the absence of British rule. He was surprised that hie hon. friend did not blush to say that his noble friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had dirtied (the character of the country. He (Mr. Layard) had some opportunity of judging of the policy and opinions of his noble friend, and the con clusion at which he arrived was that DO man was more truly desirous to promote liberal institutions, and at the same time to observe the faith of treaties. Liberalism in these days was considered to consist in a contempt of interna tional engagements and international treatise. (Ironical cheers.) But his noble friend, in the true spirit of liberalism, wished to promote the eause of constitutional and free government, and at the ems time to respect international obligations. (Heer, bear.) He believed that, if goads • proper use of, the'cession of the looiaa Island. would contribute to the prosperity of Greece; but if Corfu was made • basis of aggression on neighbouring territory, then its cession instead of proving • benefit to Greece, would ruder her condition worse than it had been. With regard to the papers, he thought it wnuld be advisable to give them to the end of November. The treaty be expected would be signed shortly after Easter, and then all the papers would be given. (Hear, hear.) Captain JERVIS said be heard with regret and surprise the admission of the honourable gentleman the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs that they had handed over • happy and contented population to • state of bank ruptcy and anarchy. He had always protested spinet handing over these islands to Greece. Mr. C. FORTESCCE said the time had now come when the British government had seized • favourable oppor tunity of granting the prayers which bad been so long urged upon Ibsen. No doubt the lonian people were making some sacrifice of ease, comfort, and se curity for their patriotic wish, which, although it had been opposed by political agitators, was, he had no doubt, sincerely felt by many of • the enlightened and cultivated lonians. They hoped and believed that the looiaos would soon pass through their crisis of trial, and that by union with a kindred race they would be developed into • prosperous end well-governed people. It wee their hope also that the irritation attending the change, and at tending the reatrictious which the British government had bees compelled to impose for the welfare of the people would pass away, and that the loniaus would look back with good and kindly feelings to the power which had so long ruled them, and at last had granted them that which they so warmly desired. It was to be hoped that they would forget those incentives to attack and irritation which they still heard from some of those in the islands, and from some to-night in that house. His advice to the Connie people was that they would poi out of mind those eloquent incentives to discontent towards this country which they bad heard that night from his hon. (need the vice-president of the lonian Society. (Hear, hear.) Mr. FITZGERALD remarked that this was another in stapes where the government had meddled, and where in meddling they had done no good for thou in whose favour they had interfered, but had gravely compromised the credit sal the character of the country. The C H ANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the policy of the government in ►greeing to surrender the pro tector►te of the Toni's bast:ids, and annexing them to the kingdom of Greece, • measure which, he argued, had been adopted in aocordance with the gement desire of the lonian people to be united to Greece, and he believed it was calculated to protect the interest.' of the entire Greek monateLy. Lord J. MANNERS had come to the conclusion, from • consideration of the whole question, th►t in ceding the lonian Islands to Greece • very foolish thing had been dons, and that in • manner which bad dissatisfied every body. Mr. CRILDERS said it was hardly fair to this go vernment to have • certain course pressed on them in one year, and to be taunted for carrying it out the next. He was quite certain that the house would do as the country had already done—namely, ratify by its vote the policy of her Majesty's government in ceding these islands to Greece. (Hear, hetir.) . . ~.___, Mr. CAVE defended Sir H. Storks, who, be said, bed been most unjustly attacked by the boo. member for Dumbartonshire. Before Sr Henry's tints the governors managed the islands by leaving the whole patronage in the baud, of the great fami lies, who in their own way made things plessaut with the people. Sir Henry Storks was determined to alter this system, to rule as well as to govern, and the consequence was that them- great families immediately commenced to mist against him. He was exposed in fact to their intrigues in hie OWD cabinet. He believed that when the present ex. ritement bad pulsed away the people of the lonian Islands ',mild preserve no unfriendly recollection of Sir Henry Storks. . . . . . _ Mr. (;RIFFITTI complained that parliament bad not been consulted respecting this annexation at an earherstage of the proceedings. Every authority had is fact been cos- suited except the British parliament. Mr. t: EGultY then withdrew the motion, and the house went into committee of supply pro forma. REPORT ON SUPPLY.

The following are the official quotations : mid dling Orleans, 2i ; middling Uplands, 1:64d. ; middling Mobtle 261 d. COTTON GOODS—MANCHESTER, MAICH 111.—The animation displayed fur some days past in the Liverpool cotton market has reacted upon business here. Cotton is be ginning to come in more freely at Liverpool. and the arrivals for some weeks past have included 6,000 to 8,000 bales of American. The total receipts this week have reached 53,114 bales against sales to the extent of 19,000, of which, however, only 31,000 have been purchased by home con. sumen, but still very full prices are maintained. The action of the Liverpool market upon yenta in Man chester continued from Monday afternoon to yesterday evening ; and for shipping qualities there was a good bust. noes dose daily ; but to-day, in consispieues of discouraging anoints from Bombay and Calcutta, our market has as sumed a much quieter tone. Spinners, however, having sold rather largely, are not disposed to yield in price, and appear to think they will be able to bold up present values till present sontescts (now somewhat extensive) have been worked out. In borne trade yarns we have also had a eau market, with fine ed. to Id• per lb. higher than Lin week. To-day, however, there has been a check in these aa an other yarns. The cloth market continued to exhibit the more cheerful feeling reported on Tuesday up is this morning, and though there was not much demand for soy descrip tions of fabrics at the rates asked by sellen, buyers seemed at least more disposed to execute the orders they have on baud, and would willingly have given the terms of last week. Today the advice* from India have considerably modified thi. disposition, and we have had a quiet market, with very little busloads. We cannot quote any actual improvement its prices as compared with the rates current on Tuesday. Manufacturers hold firmly to their quotations, being still hopeful of ultimately realising the value of their goods, but buyers, as a rule, appear quite averse to engag ing in any operations of magnitude in the present aspect of affairs, sad with the sluggish demand at present ex ' for nearly all markets. The telegrams from edit above adverted to are dated Bombay 29th February, Calcutta. 27th. At Bombay yarns were ld. to 2d. per lb. lower. Cotton had fallen Pd. per lb. • and shinings had declined Is. per piece. At Calcutta cloth was doll, and prices weaker • and yarns had declined 3d. par lb.
