Lord PORI'MAN brought up the report of the select committee appointed to inquire into the circumstances attending the conduct of William Imam, clerk to Mr. Bundle, solicitor at Chelteoham, John Preston, and others, with regard to the mode of obtaining signatures to the petition of Barbara Robiason and others, presented on the 22nd May last. The committee reported that the conduct of William beam, John Preston, Robert S. Liogwood, Charles W. Ramey, sod Wm. Boodle in obtaining signatures to the petition did not indicate that they had 'men guilty of wilful misrepre sentation in respect thereof ; that William Isaacs was not sufficiently careful iu the explanations given by him when obtaining signatures ; that John Preston appeared to have acted under the belief that the representations made by him in respect of the petition were correct ; and R. S. Liog wood aod Charles W. Massey, his clerk, ought to have been more careful with the.iustructione given to William Lams and J. Preston when they eruployed them toobtain signatures to the petition ; that R. W. Liogwood, as • solicitor, would have acted more prudently if be had paid attention to the rumours communicated to him in reference to the petition ; and that the committee saw DO reason to impute any blame whatever to Mr. Boodle. POLITICAL PRISONERS AT NAPLES. The Maniuis,of NORMANBY rose, pursuant to notice, to call ablution to the treatment of political prisoners at present in confinement at Naples, and to move for any information in possession of her Majesty's government on the subject. The noble marquis said that recent events had confirmed his previous convictions, that Italy could not remain both independent and united. The noble marquis then referred to the case of Mr. Bishop, an English subject, who bad been beaten and most cruelly treated for bringing certain letters to Naples, although it had not been proved that Mr. Bishop had any knowledge of the contents of these letters. Mr. Bishop was treated as if he had been a conspirator, but did any one doubt that almost every member of the present government of Naples, from Conforti downwards, had passed their lives as conspirdoni ? He wished also to know from his noble friend whether he could give any further information re specting the proclamations and the press prosecutions which had beau denied by the Turin government as having taken place. Earl RUSSELL said he felt no sort of doubt that Italy would make great progress, and the govern. ment had lately beard that every groat power of Europe, such as the Emperor of Russia, and only yesterday, he beard, the King of Prussia were disposed to recognise this new kingdom of Italy, of which his noble friend had so very poor an opinion. (Hear, bear.) That new kingdom was therefore making its way to recognition 'mall the powers of Europe. With regard to the particular cases which his noble friend had recommended , to their lordships' notice, he (Earl Russell) did not appoint a commiseion. or *rots, or any persons, to make inquiries, but Mr. Bonham informed him that he had himself sent a person in whom lie had confidence, named Douglas, in con sequence of home communication from Mr. Bishop with re gard to his treatment in prison, to visit him. Mr. Douglas went, and Mr. Bishop complained to him that his person had Leen searched, and that he had not yet been brought to trial. At the same time Mr. Douglas was told that Mr. Bishop was treated with very great lenity, not to say favour, that he had been permitted to have so apart meet to himself. and a convenient one ; and Comul-General Boehm concluded by saying he thought that Mr. Bishop had but one cause of complaint, that he had not been brought to trial. He (Earl Russell) agreed that that was • very valid ground of complaint, and they had desired Sir James Hudson to state to the Italian government that her Majesty's government considered it a great hardship that Mr. Bishop should not be brought to trial. He (Earl Russell) had heard within the last few days that the lists of the jury would be ready on that very day, the Tth of July, and that the trial would be imme diately proceeded with. The E id of ELLENBOROUGH thought it most desirable sot to consider Italy as in a state of pupilage ; and even if she were, their lordships were not her censors or tutors. (Hear, bear.) Of this he was sure, that, desirous as all were, almost without exception, from one end of the country to the other, that Italy should be a great, happy, power ful, and well-governed state, the beet thing they could do was to leave her to the management of her own aifaire. (Hear. hear.) There would be no feeling of hide modem' ; there would be no good government in Italy - there would not be, on her part, the adoption of a free and independent hoe of policy, until she felt she was being treated as one of the great states of Europe, and permitted by himself. and by her own mesas, to mune her own affairs. (Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM entirely concurred with his noble friend who had just addressed their lordship' ; he therefore wished to oak whether it was true, as he was rather led to expect from what had fallen from the noble earl (Russell), that Russia bail acknowledged the kingdom of Italy! If so, be (Lord Brougham) heartily rejoiced in the event, which he considered to be of no small importance Earl It I'aIF.LL said he believed it was perfectly true that Emma Lel ilechirol her intention to recognise the kingdom of Italy. The Raman government hail made a communi cating, which hail not yet reached Turin, requiring, he would not say ,ecurities, but certain assurances from the government of Italy, which he had no doubt the Italian go vernment were deterniioed to give, and upon that the re cognition would, take place. The assurances required by the Itu,ian gnvernmeut were to the effect that the inten tions of the governmaut of Italy were pacific towards its neighbouio, and that the German coofederacy, and espe cially Austria, would nut he an object of aggression on the 'part of Lord BROUGHAM hoped that nothing would happen in Italy to throw obstacles iu the way of so desirable a coo summatiou as the ackaowledvueut of the kingdom of Italy by the powers of Europe. The Eat of HARROWBY said that it was most wonderful for a person coming from Italy as he (the Earl of Hansawby) had just done, to hear the language of the noble marquis. who still spoke of the Piedniontese government us • nun-existent fact. (Hear, hear.) It was left for the made marquis, as a sort of MOOOMAIIia, to use this langii..re ; but to him (the Earl of Harrowby) it was a matter of astonishment that any man should get up here and deny the existence of these facto. He wondered that any emu could have gime through that country and not hare *era a different spirit prevailing. He himself had found a lie a• sense of freedom of enjoyment, a looking up wards en every species of advancement; instead of coo. 'Tinley there was free discussion, both in the press and in parliament ; in short, improvement of all kinds, moral and material ; and such a spirit of unity as no one could have believed could have been realized. He had met with per sons elm had said to him, " We were the last to give up the idea of the autonomy of our own country. When we !coked ;ovoid us at the battle fields of our nation with Frame ; a hen we considered that we were a country cut tip into small slices ; that we were in the midst of abun dant men t.. of communimtion by railways and telegraphs, with the paespurt system abolished, and that there was no hope for the development of our resources if we were left in such a condition, there then flashed over the land a wish to lie free." There were so doubt left in Italy the remains of maladministration ; for despotism • was an ill training for liberty. If it were mot so, it would not be the odious thing it was ; and where it wan molt odious, there corruption had gone the deepest, and was the most difficult to eradicate. Where all the ma ~ i .trates were corrupt, it was impossible to trust them. Theo who was there who could be trusted? The old meats of government were not only corrupt hot hostile. He wished their lordships could only see the different spirit which how prevailed in Italy—he wished they could see the effect which had been produced by the extension of railways and steamboats, and by the feeling which hail sprung op in every part of the peninsula, that it was now a portion of one great and united country. The inotioe for papers was then agreed to. GAME LAWS AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL In committee, Lord POLWARTH proposed to substitute the words " Greet Britain," in the first clause, for " England." The Earl of DERBY resisted the motion. It was most desirali:e to restrict the bill to the simple object it had in view. lamely. the suppression of pangs of armed night poachers. It might endanger the bill in tbe other house if it were made into a measure for increasing the stringency of the game laws. After acme discussion the amendment was agreed to. The Earl of CLANCARTY moved to insert the words "and belated." Agreed to. The LoRD CHANCELLOR moved a number of verbal ameoduients which were also carried. THE QUEEN'S PRISON DISCONTINUANCE BILL (18132.) The report of amendments was roomiest!. CROWN PRIVATE ESTATES BILL This bill passed through committee. COURTS OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND BILL This bill was read • third time. The Earl of DALHOUSIE moved an amendment, the !. THE EXPRESS, TUESD#Y EVENING, JULY The 78th clause, limiting the width of the footway, was struck out, in consequence of the rejection of clause it The other clauses In the bill were agreed to, with a few amendments. Mr. A YRTON said he wished to move an additional clause, which he considered • mere act of justice. The societies of the Temple had preferred • claim far greater than that of the crown or of any other proprietors on the banks of the river, and it bad been coooeded to them. They were allowed to become the exclusive proprietors of all the land reclaimed in front of the Temple-gardens at the public expense, excepting what was required fur a reed. Every other person who had any of this land added to his river frontage was to pay its full value, but the beechen were to get theirs free of 'Mead, and yet the embankment would be maintainedaodkeptio reperat the expeosecithe ratepayers. They were told the other night that it wax mere form to talk about the exclusive use of the land, because the beechen always admitted the public to their garden. But that was not the case on Sundays, at any rate. A notice was even put up on the gates of the Inner Temple Garden, "No person admitted without an order." Would, then, the committee permit the bill to per as it was, on the faith of the representation that the garden was open to the public? He trusted that they would adopt the DOW clause which he now proposed, namely, that in cue the benchers of the Inner or Middle Temple 'herald not admit the public to the use of this land which it was admitted would be vested in them as trustees under this bill, under such regulations as they might adopt, subject to the supervision of the crown, then that the land should go over and become vested in the Metropolitan Board of Works, 'under the provisions of the 28th erection of the act which relate to lands held for purposes of public recreation. The clause having been reed by the Chairman, Mr. LOCKE said he was surprised after the magnificent elation of his boo. and learned friend, to find that his clause amounted to so little. His hon. sod learned friend had gone down to the gardens after attending chapel on Sunday, and found that there was no admission except by order. But orders were freely granted to respectable families in the I guighbourbood, and on summer evenings the public were admitted at stated periods without let or hindrance. (hot now.) He was told it was not so now ; but at any rate it bad been very lately, and the admission by orders was con tinued. Thebenchers were bound to keep up the garden, and to keep it up at their own expense. Mr. H. LEWIS hoped that the whole of the Temple garden was about to be included in the clause. They were about to have • valuable river front, sad he thought it would be a great improvement to the bill if parliament were to impose such regulations on the benches' as would prevent their "hutting up the gardens from the public. Mr. M. SMITH said it was a mistake to suppose that a valuable river front was about to be given to the benchers of the Temple. In fact their river treat was being taken away hum them. They were merely about to receive some strips of laud for which they could not obtain one farthing of rent. The gardens bad always been kept in order, and certainly were considered to contribute to the adornment of that part of London. When it was said that they were the private property of the touchers, the fact was that nobody in London used the gardens so little as the benchers, who were nearly always absent. But the benchers were not so fastidious as bad been described ; they admitted those dirty children from poor neighbourhoods of whom the hon. and learned member (Mr. Ayrton) spoke so contemptuously the other night as being likely to play about on the embankment between Whitehall and Westminster bridge. (Hear. hear.) Mr. Thackerav, who bad witnessed these gardens the other night fi lled with sow 400 poorchil dren, bad expressed his pleasure to him (Mr. M. Smith) ; and said it dui his heart good to see it. There was no churlishness on the part of the heathers respecting admis sion ; then why, he asked, should they be interfered with in their rights of ownership which they had exercised now for centuries" There were Do private gardens in London to which the pubic ware so freely admitted as the Temple Gardeos. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CO PER said he sympathised with his boa. and learned friend (Mr. Ayrton) in the object he had in view; but he did Dot think that the clause would accomplish that object. He proposed that the regulations which might be adopted by the Benches should be over-ridden by the sanc tion of the crown. That would be only giving an additional power to the crown, which seemed to be unnecessary. If the restrictions at present adopted were, in practice, a wise and kind regulation towards the public, as they seemed to be adopted mainly for the preservation of the grams and flowers, he did not think the matter of sufficient importance to war rant the iatroduction of the clause. The committee then divided : For the clause Against it The preamble was then agreed to. On the motion that the bill be reported, Sir J. SHELLEY made • personal explanation with reference to an imputation which he conceived had been cast upon his veracity by Mr. Cowper in the matter of the re solution. Mr. COWPER said he considered that Sir J. Shelley had acted unfairly towards him, and bad taken • liberty with his name, and he admitted that he was v angry. The bill was then ordered to be report ed, and the house resumed. FORTIFICATIONS (PROVISION FOR EXPENSES) BILL. On the order for gang into committee on this bill, Sir S. NORTH 6, who had given notice of his intention to move an instruction to the committee to vet forth in detail, in the schedule to the bill, certain particulars, finding that this motion would be irregular, explained his objections to a general schedule. Sir C. LEWIS said he could not went to all the sug gestions made by Sir Stafford, as he could not reconcile them with the practice ; but he stated the extent to which he wasprepared to go. Mr. LINDSAY moved • resolution, "That it is expe dient to postpone the consideration of further expenditure upon the proposed fortifications, authorised by . this bill, until there have been laid before the house comas or ex tracts of reports from our naval attache at Pena, showing the see of the French navy from time to time, at intervals Inot exceeding three months, daring the yew 1860 and 1861." He complained of the large sums voted in successive years for the navy, sums granted by the house, be said, on the faith of exaggerated state ments made by the government of the extent of the French naval preparations—the sole reason assigned for the votes. Before the house eaactioned the proposed forti fications, it ought to have accurate information of the real state of the French navy. In iron-cased vessels we are greatly in advance of the French—we could build such ships faster than any other country, and he contended that it was sufficient for as to keep ahead of foreign powers for the current year. Lord C. PAGET said he could assure the house that the French boo-cased navy was making very great progress and was attaining great perfection. He declined to follow Mr. Lindsay into details. Mr. COBDEN said that if the noble lord who had just spoken, and the noble viscount at the bead of her Majesty's government, bad held the doctrine in times past that it was unedvisable to introduce into the debates of this house any reference to the strength of the French navy, be should have agreed with them in the course now pursued. But this argument was heard now for the first time, when they all had before them official and authentic facts by which they could prove that the statements made by the government in times past in reference to the strength of the French navy were entirely fallacious and delusive ; and when we sought to remove that most objectionable spirit of animosity which had been created towards the French government and people by the constant appeals to our fears on the ground that the French are making undue naval preparations. He thought this was not the time we should have discussion deprecated. (Hear, hear.) This was a moment when the facts should be fully sifted. Now, was there a man in th is country accus tomed to public s kein who bad not been led to believe, mainly by the statement' of the noble viscount for many years, repeated on all occasions when an opportunity was afforded, that Fosooe had, during the reign and during the time the present Emperor had held sway in that country, that Frame had unduly altered the proportions of her naval strength, which it was customary in former times for the French government to maintain as towards our selves? Was there anybody in this country who doubted that Frazee, during the time of her present ruler, has had a larger navy in proportion to the English than was the custom of the French government in former times? That was the universal impression, and that was the ground on which we had been called on from tiose to time to vote these naval estimates during the last few years. It would be an affectation of modesty on his pert if he were to pre tend that he had not had as good opportunities of having access to every official source of information on both sides of the Channel on this subject as the noble viscount himself. He (Mr. Cobden) then, in opposition to all that the noble viscount had stated in the way of general god vague asser tion, said that, with opportunities as great sa the noble lord of forming an opinion on the matter, for the last 12 or 14 years the present Emperor of the French had held sway in one capacity or another in that country, the French navy had borne a far less proportion to the English navy than in the time of Louis Philippe. (Hew, hear.) When he made that assertion in opposition to the noble viscount, he wished it to be accepted for what it was worth ; be hop ed we had now got to the end of these vague generalities under which, to use an old legal maxim, • fraud always lurked." (Hear, bear.) He did not ask that confidence should be plated in his mere assertion, but he would give to the house • statement of the outlay on the French dockyards for the last twelve years of Louis Philippe's reign, and for the 12 years of the republic and the empire, down to the year 1859, being the last year for which we had the audit and official accounts from France. The right hon. gentleman the member for Ox fordshire (Mr. Henley) bad said he did not think the re ports of private members should prevail against the expres sion of the prime minister, that he knew to be facts what he stated to be facts. (Hear, hear.) That warn a very dan. gerous doctrine. Were members of that house to be ab solved from responsibility because the prime minister made certain assertions! The prime minister was responsible to the boon and they to the country. In the ugly retrospect which might be taken of their past conduct were they likely to be excused by the country in voting these enormous sums of money without inquiry? It was th e duty of the how to see that they voted the money on valid grounds, and that they did not net manly on the fanciful and excited imagination of • prime minister. He thought they might he more properly engaged in die. cueing questions relating to the internal affairs of this country. There was Do CUOMO' of opinion as to the nuts. city of defending the coaster. _Re hold th at roan to be a charkian who prolonged to bold the bosom and 'stay al 139-121 object of which wu to exempt persons of other communion' from the nubility of being compelled to attend as wantons and to produce documents belonging to other churches than the retablethed kirk. . . . Lord BELHAVEN opposed the amendment, which he considered inquisitorial in Ha character. The Marquis of BREADALBANE said he was opposed to the entire bill, which be thought wan not required to meet an existing evil. The Duke of ARGYLL supported the bill, the necessity for which lie said was demanded by the fact that if the minister of a Scotch parish was guilty of misconduct which justified his suspension, be could not, owing to the long and tedious procees which had to be gone thronh, be judicially silenced for perhaps two years. The bill , however, de clared that the church court had the power to prevent such a man discharging his functions as a clergyman pending the result of the legal inquiry. The amendment was negatived without a division, and The bill then pump& . _ . . . Their lordships adiTourned at a quarter to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY, JULY 7. The Smirk' took the chair at a quarter to four o'clock. PRIVATE BIJSERESS. The amendments of the Lords to the following bills were 000sidered and agreed to :—Berwickshire Railway; Bishops Waltham Railway; Crystal Palace and South London Junction Railway; North Eastern and Neweastleupon- Tyne and Carlisle Railway Companies Amalgamation ; North Eastern Railway (Blaydon to Conside) ; and Topton and Ashover and ;Arkin Lane Roads Bills. The St. Thomas's Hospital Ball was read a second time. ROYAL COMMISSION. Colonel Clifford, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the table and summoned the house to the House of Peers to hear the Royal Assent given to certain bills passed by both houses. On the return of the Speaker the titles of the bills (for which see Lords report) were read. AFFAIRS OF SERA lA. Mr. 1). GRIFFITH gave notice of a question for the next supply night, whether it was true, u reported, that the Turkish government win preparing to march troops into the Servian territory, and, if so, whether with the approbation of her Majesty's government POLICE (COUNTIES AND BOROUGHS) BILL. Sir R. TRACEY gave notice of • clause to be added to this bill—that every person charged before a magistrate with having in his possession, or conveying In any manner, anything which may be reasonably suspected of being stolen or unlawfully obtained, shall, failing to give a satisfactory amount of bow he came possessed of the same, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, and liable to • penalty of SL, or to be imprisoned for two months. RUSSIAN RECOGNITION OF ITALY.—M. ZENOS. Mr. MAGUIRE re notice of a question for to-morrow, whether any • intimation had been received by govern ment of the recognition by Russia of the kingdom of Italy, and whether Sir J. Hudson had congratulated the Sardinian government on that fact. Also, whether the Under-Secre tary for Foreign Affairs could lay upon the table further oorrespoodence in reference to the case of M. lons and the suppression of the BMW' Star I THE JOURNEYMEN BAKERS. Mr. RINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when a report might be expected from Mr. Seymour Tremenhere, who was appointed in July, 1861, a commissioner to inquire into the complaints of the jour neymen baker of London ; and whether it would be, or was intended to, extend the inquiry, as promised, if re quired, to Scotland and Ireland? Sir G.GREY said that the report was oompletedand would be laid on the table that evening or to-morrow. It had been proposed to extend the inquiry to other places, but it was thought that the fact, which applied to the metropolis would apply to a great extent to other parts of the country, but if further inquiry should be necessary it would be in stituted. IDOL AND MAITOMMEDAN WORSHIP IN INDIA. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India what had been doe* by the government of India in pur suance of Lord Stanley's despatch of the 24th day of February, 1859, on the subject of rescinding certain laws DOW in force in India which connect the government of India with the spacial care of lands belonging to Mahommedan mosques mud Hindoo temples. Sir C. WOOD replied that two bills had been laid before the Governor-Oenerers council on the subject, and one of them was still under consideration. Of course as neither bill bad passed no alteration in them had yet taken place. HOLYHEAD STEAM PACKET PIER. lir. HERBERT asked the Secretary to the Admiralty when it was the intention of the government to proceed with the works on the steam-packet pier at Holyhead, for which money had been voted by parliament this session ? Lord C. PAGET replied that it was the intention of the government to proceed at once with the works on the steam packet pier at Holyhead ; that was to say, the filling in of the pier and the putting on the roof. The government thought it was due to the passengers to and from Ireland that those works should be gone on with without waiting for the result of the negotiation between the London and North Western Railway and the City of Dublin Steam packet Company, and he hoped that the packets would, when the works were completed, keep their time. IMPORTS OF FOREIGN PAPER. Mr. A. TURNER asked the President of the Board of Trade whether (seeing by the return recently made that , the quantity of foreign paper imported is far more im portant than the quantity of rags imported, or the quantity of paper exported, both of which appear in the returns of trade and navigation) he would order that in future the quantity of foreign paper imported should appear in the usual monthly returns? Mr. M. GIBSON replied that the list of articles enume rated in the monthly returns was revised every year, in order to include those of the greatest importance. The imports of foreign paper bad until within the last few mouths been very fluctuating—being sometimes 2,000 eine. • month, and at others 38,000 circa If the imports con tinued at their present rate, paper would be included in the monthly returns. ..... YOUGHAL UNION. Mr. BUTT listed the Chief Secretary for Ireland when the returns relative to the chaplaincy of the Voughal Union, ordered by this house on the 6th day of Juue, re- Dewing a similar order of hat session, would be laid upon the table of the bonne? Sir R. PEELsaid that the returns were vary voluminous, but were in course of preparation, and he hoped to be able to lay them oa the table in the course of a fortnight or three weeks. LAND TENURE IN INDIA. Mr. SMOLLEIT eked the Secretary of State for India whether any resolution had recently been taken to introduce a permanent settlement of land in India ; and, if so, whs. ther he would be prepared to lay upon the table of the house a copy of the Matt notions forwarded to the Governor- General for this purpose ; and, if he was prepared to fix a day for introducing his animal statement on Indian finance ! Sir C. WOOD stated that the subject had been under the consideration of the Indian Council, and it was thought that it would be moat for the benefit of the people of India that any change for the settlement of land tenure should be introduced gradually. He should be plowed to lay before the house the instructions which bad been forwarded to the Governor-General on the subject. With regard to the financial statement ha hoped to make it on Monday next. BLEACHING AND DYEING WORKS ACT AMEND MENT BILL. Lord J. MANNERS wanted to know what course would be taken by the government with regard to this bill which hail passed the Lords and now stood on the paper for second reading._ Mr. M. GIBSON replied that he understood the measure had received the moot of all parties, and upon that state. meat he had taken charge of it. If there were any objection to it be would postpone the second reading till Thursday. Mr. ROEBUCK asked who were meant by "the parties." Mr. M. GIBSON—I was given to understood that the bill bad rewired the assent of all the persons concerned. (Cries of " No, no.") SURREY SIDE EMBANKMENT. Mr. WILLIAMS salted the First Commissioner of Works the cause of the delay in presenting the report of the com missioners on the embankment of the Surrey side of the Thames. Mr. COWPER said he bad made inquiries on the subject, and understood that the commission had nearly completed their report, and that it would very shortly be presented. THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL The house, in committee, resumed the consideration of the clauses of the Thames Embankment Bill, beginning with the 34th clause, which enacted that the plans and elevations of buildings fronting the river shall be sub mitted to the First Commissioner of Works, who shall have power, within one month, to disapprove thereof ; and the buildings so disapproved shall not be erected. Lord J. DIANNE/LS moved the omission of this clause, arguing that it was objectionable io principle and against experience ; that there was nothing in the course of pro , seeding of the Metropolitan Board of Works that should induce the house to fetter their free action in this matter. Mr. K. SEYMER, who had proposed the clause in the select committee, defended it, observing that the case was as exceptional one, and that the dense was not intended to &rade the board, who had not objected to it. no clause mac opposed by Lad Fermoy, Sir J. Shelley, and Lord B. CeciL 11;.C•WPER said he had thought the weight of the argument* in the select committee was in favour of the clause, the purport of which was to secure some uniformity of design and harmony of arrangement io the buildings, the absence of which was so great a defect in London street architecture. The veto, though nominally lodged in the once be held, was practically given to the House of Com mons. He scrawled the clause. Mr. Crawford, Kr. Lewis, mid Sir W. Jolliffe opposed the clause • which was supported by Lord H. Vane and Lord Palos'erstoci, who thought that there should be some controlling authority to *mire unity of design sod amnia. teocy of purpose in the plans. Upon a division the clause was retained by 162 to 145. Clause 42, prohibiting the use of locomotives propelled by steam along the streets, was expunged, on the motion of Sir W. Joturrs. Much diacuriion arose upon the 72nd clause, relating to the disponi of reclaimed land in which the crown is into• rested ; but the claime remained unaltered. the coustry higher than he did. (Hear. hear.) There was not • men who valued more than he did the honour, the gaiety, and the just interests of the country. (Cheers.) They might take different views, as every one was entitled to do, as to the beat mode of fortifying the country. Sterne ' people might think it was unwise to expend this NM whilst we were struggling under a weight of taxation. Others, like Sir R. Feel, might hold that you could not fortify every point of your coast, and your colonies ; and that in attempting to do so, you ran a greater risk than by husbanding your resources and hold ing them ready in owe of emergency. But let a real danger he shown ; let it be shown that our navy was not equal to our defence ; let it be shown that a neighbouring power was insidiously attempting to alter the proportion which the navy of • maritime country like this, to which the only acorns was by sea, should bear to its commerce, and he would willingly vote 100,000,0001. to protect the country naiad attack. (Cheers.) But he claimed no merit on that ground ; there was not a man who would not sacrifice his fortune rather than see our shores defiled by the footsteps of an invader. (Cheers.) The right hon. member for Stroud (Mr. Borman) was the authority for this expenditure. (Hear, hear.) It woe com menced under his sober and sagacious leadership. and he believed the hon. member for Bridgwater (Hr. Bingham) was a great supporter of the noble viscount in this matter. He (Mr. Cobden) did not profess to follow these gentlemen. The right hon. member for Stroud seemed to think that as our wealth increased so must our armed forces increase. It might be so if we WOOI a nation owning • slave population, or pothering rich gold regions, which kept us in luxury. His view was that in every step which we took in the pro gress of wealth and in the extent of our power by means of free commerce, we were raising up that kind of population which must furnish us with the means of defence. Our workers in metals were the foundation of our greatness. There was not a man of that ChM whose hard hands and skilled brain, would nos in the course of • few weeks be able to furnish us with the supplies of gum, shot, and shell, and every weapon of defence. Then where was the necessity of increasing the number of our armed forces? Whence sprang our Armstrong., our Whitwortha, and our PM:bairns ? From the industry of this country, in which they were mainly employed. It was the constant reproach of tome that he and others wished to leave the country defenceless. But if, as it had been stated, it were possible for this country to make three times more steamengines than any other nation in the world, to whom was that owing but to three who had trained the skilled artisans of the country? Let them look at Ports mouth or at Woolwich, whose names appeared on the greatest engines in those arsenals? Why the names of men in Manchester, in Birmingham, and Liverpool, who had been created during the last thirty or forty years, by the in crease of our commerce. In oonclusioo, be deprecated the attempt of any body to show that he, or any of those who acted with him, had been indifferent to that in which con sisted the true power and greatness of this country. Mr. KINGLAKE rose, bat. way to Sir J. PAKLNGTON, w ho said that as the hoe. members for Rochdale and Sunderland had appealed to him on the subject of exaggerated statemente alleged to have been made in the house with regard to the navy of France, he moat say he believed the noble viscount had made no statement—and he (Sir J. Pakington) believed he had heard every statement which had been made by the noble lord— with regard to the relative strength of France and England, which was not free from both vagueness and auggera tion—(hear, hear) ; and which was not founded on the most accurate statistics. (Cheers.) Thus much he was bound to say, but be was ready to go farther. But he would say more. The speech of the hon. member for Rochdale had no more to do with the question at nine than the relative strength of the English and Spanish navies at the time of the Spanish Armada. A great part of the speech of the boo. member was taken up with a comparison of the navy of Fiance during the time of Louis Philippe and the reign of the present Emperor. Nothing could be more deceptive. The rate of wages and the price of material were so different. Throughout the speech of the bon. member he bad not heard a word with regard to what had paned in England and France since 1859, and it was in 1859 that the construc tion of iron-plated ships commenced. The hon. member for Rochdale bad stated to-eight that he for one desired to see the navy of England superior to that of Freers, and that he would incur soy expense necenary for that object. Then, on that principle the hon. member was not justified in find ing fault with the late Admiralty or with the present Admiralty, and it was essential that the present Admiralty should go on with their expenditure in order to make the navy of &gland superior to that of France. The hoe. member for Sunderland had failed to impugn his (Sir J. Pakington's) statement on a former °crayon, founded on the authority of Admiral Elliott. His statement was that the French bad 15 frigates and 9 line-of-battle ships of different descriptions. All these were ar alour•platad ships. There were afloat, 6 ; and building, 10—making 16. Now, referring to the ships of different descriptions, Admiral Elliot said there was • total of 32 instead of 24, which he (Sir J. Pakington) said there were last year. Admiral Elliot, therefore, was borne out in the statement he had made. He did not know— perhaps the hon. member for Sunderland could tell him, whether the Solferino and the Magenta were included in that number of sixteen. The delay in the building of these frigates had been referred to. Captain Howe, who had visited the dockyards, accounted for it by an alteration of the span from 20 to 16 tons. Lord PALMERSTON said be should like to ask the house whether they were discussing the David estimates of the year or the question of permanent fortification of their dockyards. The speeches of the hon. member for Sunder dand and the hon. member for Rochdale had no bearing on the question now ander the consideration of the house, but turned on the simple question of a comparison between the existing navy of France and the navy of England. The bon. member for Rochdale seemed to be ex cessively angry with him. (Laughter.) He accused him of indiscretion and levity, and of every possible breach of every duty which it was possible to accuse him of. He received these accusations from the bon. member with the utmost possible quietness. They differed so entirely in their views that it was quite natural that he should be attacked by the boo. member. The hon. member said that he (Lord Palmerton) was actuated by one idea. He was actuated by one idea. Hie idea was one which seemed never to have entered the fertile brain of the boo. member. His idea was that England ought to be defended. His idea was that our navy could not exist without the necessary dockyard, and thattecee dockyards ought to be placed in • position to be enure from any sudden attack. Now that was so idea that ' , never entered the mind of the hoe. member. The hon. member said lie would spend 100 millions to maintain a good navy. He did not ask him for any such thing. He asked for a much more moderate amount—namely, the amount recommended by the defence commissioners for giving our navy a secure foundation. He said that the hon. member was in a state of blindness and delusion, which made him utterly unfit to be listened to by the country as an adviser in matters of this sort. (Mur mur+ and cheers). When the hon. member dealt with matters which be understood, when be descanted on free-trade in corn, or on free trade in general, they listened to him with the utmost deference and respect. The bon. mem ber understood the subject, he was imbued with sound prin ciples, and the conclusions he arrived at were those which commanded assent ; but when he went beyond " crepidam" and descanted upon naval and military defences, the hen. member mast permit him to say he went entirely beyond the scope of his knowledge—beyond the reach to which his understanding had extended. ("Oh," and cheers.) Yes, and he would be a most dangerous adviser of this house or of the country. He said it was so, because the honour able member, while he declared it was presump tion in any man to say be was not as anxious for the honour, dignity, and defence of the country as soy man living, yet the defence he proposed was to reduce their army and navy, and to leave their dockyards ardor tilled, but having workmen in Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield and other hives of iudustry, amid the mercantile capital increased—why the richer they are, if they were not able to defend their wealth, the more they invited attack. The very accumulation of wealth in a country was • reason for partof the wealth being devoted tonational defence As to the fact of there being good artisans and plenty of steam engiaes working in the manufacturing districts, so far from being a means of defence against a sudden attack coming upon us, it was palpable that there would not be time to bring these labouring men from the centre of Eng land and °nowise them as a military or naval body, and set them to work to make fortification. It was childish to imagine that the possession of these resources, if they did not avail themselves of them beforehand would be of any avail to them when the time came. It was an infatuation of the hon. gentleman which I be was astonished that my man should not be conscious of who had thought at all upon these public matter'. The hon. member accused him of having been guilty of great ex aggeration with regard to the Enrich army. He utterly denied it. He stated that on the Ist of January the French army consisted of 446 000 men sod 170,030 in reserve, making an aggregate of 616.000. lie was reported to have said 816.000, but that was a mere error of a figure, which was very natural. The Moniteur corrected him, and said the aggregate was only 612.000, but the correction substantially confirmed hie statement. With regard to the French navy, the hon. member for Sunderland said the number of French iron-plated vessels built and building was 37, and 27 English. He (Lord Palmerston) had stated that the numbers were 36 and 25. The hon. member therefore admitted that be (Lord Pal mentoo) had sot made an exaggerated statement. Well, then, the hoe. member for Rochdale bad repeated that evening the statements which be put into his pam phlet ; and he bad erideavouredto show what was the com parative amount of labour employed in the dockyards in England sod in France at certain periods ; and also what yea the amount of naval charges in the two countries. The right hon. baronet the member for Droitwich bad said, and rightly, that the statement was fallacious, and upon this ground. First, as regarded the mosey expended on the workmen. In the French dockyards the amount paid to workmen was 2s. lid. aday, while in Eagland it was nibs rate of 4a. 6d. That was about the proportion, aod, copse gently, in England the sum upended was far higher than in France. With regard to the ships sod general expenses of the navy and wages of • 90 gun two-decker in the two services, they were in the proportion of 19,0001. foe • French, sod 29,0001. for en English, ship—that was to say, a 90-gun English ship in wage al me cost 10.0001. more than a French one; the force being equal, the actual expellees of the guns must be greater in England than in France ; and, there fore, it was perfectly fallacious as • measure of relative strength to toll the house what was being spent in on or the other, unless the house wore told the wad el the labour in the two oesuatries. 1862 , . It appeared to him (Lord Palmerston) that. as was stated by tho right boo. baronet, all the eloquence from those two hon. members was utterly beside the question then under consideration. Oran.ed, if they would, that there was so present likelihood of war or dispute between the two coun try's. That was the very reason why they should employ the interval of peace and friendship to place themselves in a situation to meet a different erudition of things; and it would be the utmost degree of tally to tell them to wait this year to the next year, or the neat after, and to leave their dockyards in a state which, if aerating should happen, would not find tbentioaposition ofdefence. What the govern ment proposed was a measure founded upon deep reflection, and calculated to last for a long time to come. In short, the government wanted to piece the dockyanis in a com plete state of defence to meet the attack of any foreign power. The opinions of the hon. member for Rochdale were coufined to a very few gentlemen, and so far from feeling alarmed by the responsibility in proposing to the house the increase which he (Lord Palmerston) bad felt it to be his duty to propose two years ago, be should have felt himself to be unworthy of the situation which he filled, and would not have continued to fill, if the' , house bad refused to the government the means of providing defences for the country, and which the government consi dered were absolutely indispensable for the future security of the nation. ("Hear, bear," and cheers.) He (Lord Palmerston) had an Wee which the boo. member for Rochdale had not, and it was deeply implanted in his (Lord Palmerstoo's) mind. (Hear, hear.) So far from feel ing annoyed at this attack, he believed it would raise him in the estimation of his countrymen, and therefore he was glad it bad been made, and that there was a difference of opinion between the bon. member and himself. With regard to the defences of the country, his (Lord Palmerston s) mode was different to the hon. member's. He would say, Oremus puem ; dextras tendamus inernies ; on the contrary, be would pre pare in time of peace for whatever might happen, and to meet it place the country in a state of permanent de fence, and be would show to foreign nations that the country was in a condition to defend herself from every attack. As to theexpeasea which these fortifications would incur, be would ask bon. members to bear in mind the disastrous consequences which the presence of en invading force would inflict if in the country a fortnight or a month. Let them also consider what war was costing in the model republic. (Cheers.) Let them also bear in mind the efforts which the government of America had bad to make because they were unprepared for war, and let the house do what they could qukkiaod eco nomically to meet every contingency which t happen and when they had done that it would be even ter t ha n the commercial treaty, for it would be doing that which would make this country respected by every other country and it would tend to that security and peace which be (Lord Palinerstoo),sa wells" the boo. member for Rochdale, &tired. The amendment was withdrawn, and the house went into committee pro forma on the bill. The Turnpike Acta Continuance Bill was read a essood time. The Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill was reed aseclood time. . _ _ NEW ZEALAND BILL. The home went into committee on this bill and mud the clauses, adding the following on the motion of Mr. C.

On the motion for the committee on this Mr. V. SCULLY objected to proceeding with the bill at that hour (twenty minutes past one), the more especially as notice had been given of numerous amendments. He coo eluded by moving that the house go into committee on the bill that (ley three months. After some coovereation, the amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill passed through committee. The other orders were disposed of, and the house adjourned at 5 minutes to 3.

Yesterday the July quarter sessions of the peace for the trial of prisoners for offences committed in the county of Middlesex commenced at the deseioos•bouse, Clerkenwell green, before the Amistaat-Judge and a full bench of ma gistrates. The calendar contains the names of about the average num ber of prisoners for trill. Of the 55 prisoners for trial there are 39 charged with Slimy and 16 with misdemeanour. The state of the education is thus defined in the columns of the calendar-9 can neither read nor write, 13 can read, 29 can can read and write imperfectly, 3 can read and write well, and lis described as of superior education. Amongst those who are described as reading and writing well is Alfred Valentine Gunnell. aged 31, a clerk, who is charged with feloniously embezzling the sum of 201. Ba., received by him for and on the account and in the n►me of " The Commie• goners of the Exhibition, 1862," his employees. The grand jury having been charged, the trial of prisoners was proceeded with. Alfred Valentine Gunnell, 31, clerk, was found Guilty of embezzling money to the amount of 201. Bs., received by him for and ou account of the Commissioners of the Inter- national Exhibition. Sentence deferred until next swine. Robert Harrison, a gold law maker, was indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of George Seeker, and dealing therein 235 breast pia' and other jewellery to the value of 8001. He was further charged with receiving the same feloniously, knowing it to be stolen. He was further charged with feloniously receiving four spoons, the property of Charlotte Blackburn ; for feloniously receiving a watch, the property of John Morgan ; • watch, the property of Thomas Bruce Gardyne ; a watch, the property of Francis Higgins, a watch the property of Charles Newman, and also other articles of value, the property of divers persons, knowing the same time to have been stolen. The prisoner being found Guilty on the first charge, the only one tried, was senteaoed to ten years' penal servitude. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A COLONEL PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY. A report woe freely circulated in Portimouth to day that an attempt had been made by a soldier to shoot Colonel Palmer, C. 8., of the 60th Rifles, 2nd battalion, quartered in Cambridge Barracks. Portsmouth. The facts am as follows :—Just before II o'clock last night the report of firearros:wiui heard from the barracks. This may be explained by the fact that eta quarter to 11 the sentry perceived • man named Michael Griffin "snapping caps" in the bar racksquare near the colonel's quarters. The sentry told the sergeant of the guard who went into the yard and there saw the yawner, ride in hand. Griffin said, "If you don't go away I'll shoot you," whereupon the sergeant retired and called out a file of the guard, and while about to go into the square again he heard the report of • rifle, which at that hour created much alarm. Upon examination it was found that Griffin's rifle ball had penetrated the area wall ad joining Col. Palmer's quarters without doing further harm. It is stated that the man's intention was to shoot his colonel or one of the officers, and whether his rifle went off acci dentally or not in yet a mystery. The present belief is that Griffin hovered about, loaded rifle in hand, awaiting the chance of Colonel Palmer's appearance at the window or elsewhere. The alarm raised by the sentry no doubt frus trated his plane Nine rounds of blank cartridge were tonal in his breast, one being missing out of the ten allowed the men, and that can, of course, be fully accounted for. Griffin bears a had character. Be was taken before the colonel this morning for examination, when he declined to explain his conduct or to say anything about the matter. A court-martial will try him shortly.
