Cl)t LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1858. POSTSCRIPT. LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE. HOUSE OF LORDS. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE remarked that in the other house certain resolutions relating to the Go. verninent of India had been adopted and a kid founiled thereon, brought in, and read a first Limo. Ike inquired whether her Maiesty's Ministers in- tended to communicate these resolutions to their lordship- , , so that they might have some preliminary discussion upon the impor ant questians involved before the measure actually came before them—an event which could not be expected to happen for some considerable time. The Earl of AIALMESBURY referred to the continued absence of the Priine Minister, and begg .d to post pone answering the inquiry until Monday next. The Municipal Franchise Bill was passed through committee, and their lordships then adjourned. !LOUSE OF CININIONS. THE MILITIA. Colonel FRENCH inquired whether the Govern ment intended either to disembody any more militia regiments, or to auement that force by calling out additional corps. He followed up the subject by commenting at some length upon the mode in which the Rozcommon regiment of militia had been treated by the War.nffice. General PEEL stated that no new militia regiments were to be embodied, nor was any further progress to be made in disembodying the force than bad already been effected. The rule strictly followed on this question at the. War office was invariably to select for maintenanco those corps which had most completely supplied their quota of recruits for the line while still remaining in a state of efficiency. Further questions touching the Wellington Monu ment, and the evidence given by the informer Birke at the trial of the Cormacks, having been asked and answered, T. BARNABAS. Mr. BUTLER asked whether her Majesty's Ministers intended to take any steps in consequence of the practices alleged to have taken place at the confes sional in the district of St. Bement., Pimlico. Mr. WALPOLE said that the sooner the alleged practices were put a stop to the better. But as the allegations hsd been denied, and the subject would in due time be brought before the legal tribunal, the Government did not intend to interfere at present in the matter. rim RIVER THAMES. Mr. R. MANGLES inquired what steps had been taken, or were in contemplation, to preserve the healths of the members of the two Houses of Par liament from being destroyed by the pestilential condition of the river Thames. Mr. Cuerrr defended the Metropolq.au Board of Works, whose delay in settling the question had, he contended, arisen from no fault of their own, but because the problem to be solved . had been pre sented under impossible c mditions. He admitted, however that something must be done without further delay. ~ ...o• T H E ''P.R :11;16119:"11854. After Some remarks from Mr. S. WATIREIL Lord J. MANNERS replied both as to the 'Wellington Monument and the river Thames. On the first' point be described the proceedings subsequent to the exhibition of competing designs, Re far as he was connected with the affair. Respecting the purifies tion of the Thames, the subject did not lie in his' department, but fell within the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Board of Words. He confessed that the present system partook of the nature of a double government, and required change. But he reminded the house taut if the Ministry undertook ilte tidlk ' the nation must pay for it. If it was left to tWe Board of Works the expenses would fall npon the metropolis. • I AMERICA AND THE SLAVE TRADE. ' Mr. BRIGHT having urged a 4uery touching the proceedings of the Englis4 squadron engaged in the suppression of the bkiVe trade and with respect to our relations with the United States, Mr. S. Firzoettan said that the officittinforma tion on this .uoject was still incomplete.' lie had; however, just cause to believe that the resent tact ' understandings with the United St atek were let oentee of amicable adjustment. The British I GeVernritent . ' would frankly and voluntarily make !Melt reparetidri' for any infraction of international rights twittcli ,l might have been committed by their officers 'lre Yeti' excess 01 zeal ; but at the same time they were assured that many of the accounts of alleged outrages which had appeared in the America i journals were grossly exaggerated. On this point he read some explanatory statements relating to'l special instances, and proceeded to Mate that the right of-search question having been submitted to' the law officers of the Croivn, a unatihnotts opinion had been returned to the effect that no such right could be claimed in time of peace. Her Majesty's Ministers had accordingly resolved to abandon it completely. The subject of the slave squadron was under consideration by the Giivernm_int, whose present intention was to withdraw the blockading cruisers from the Cuban waters. Mr. ROEBUCK said that the explanations given by the right bon. gentleman were highly satisfactory,i and the tone he had assumed very creditable: . Without seem Heine the di; nits of England, he had pacified the irritation of the Cubed States. Lord J. RUs4Ru. intimated his concurrence in the satisfaction expressed by Mr. Roebuck with the oon duct and policy of her Majesty's,3liiiisters. Lord PALMERSTON declared that the American Go. vernment had cordially co-operated with England in attempting to put down the slave trade. The CHANCiLLOR of the EICREQU&R stated that. the Washington Cabinet had been invited to suggest. some scheme by whi‘th England and America could j in union operate more effectuady fur the auppressiost of the traffic in slaves. The answer was not )et ceived, but he looked forward with much hope to the contrivance of a successful scheme to effect the object in view. He had no fear of any intinrapligal of friendship between the two countties r who wen t , he observed, bound together by strong ties, spring ing not only from their identity of race and commer cial interest, but also from a complete accordance in their national spirit and policy. 1 • . After a few words from Mr. IV.tuanN the subject dropped. The Funded Debt Bill was road a second time. The house, having gone into committee on the Sale and Transfer of Lund (Ireland) Bill, proceeded to discuss the clauses of that measure. On resuming, at a late hour, the other orders of the day were disposed of, and the bouseadjourned. THE QUEEN'S PROGRESS THROUGH THE MIDLAND DISTRICI'S. Oa Tuesday eveninl., after her Majesty left Birming ham, ,he made a detour from the railway station at Kenilworth, on her way to Stotieleigh, through the ruins of the Castle of Kebilworth. The dinner party at Mary consisted of the Earl of Warwick, Lady Mary Fielding aad Captain Fielding, the Hon. and Uev. H. Cholmnnieley, the Marquis of Chandos, abd Viscount Hood. The addition to these were the nobility sod gently staying is the house. A large party of the nubility and gentry resident in the neighbourhood received invi.ation-4 for the evening.
