The Marquis of !it)ItMANBY gave notice of his inten tion, on that day week. to move for certain additions to the returns moved for in the other house of parliament relating to the despatches received from Air. Lyons as to the combtrou and rdrunistration of the Roman States. During the whole three years in which be was in °Edda communication with Mr. Lyons, there had bees the most complete concurrence between them ou every subject which had come under their consideration. It was important their lordship; should know that during that time Mr. Lyons received moat conciliatory instructions from Lord Clarendon, and endeavoured to carry them out, but while so eogem! a notification was received of a public declaration me& by the minister of the highest authority in the other house of parliament to the effect that the Ro ma, Staten had sever been so well governed as under the repeblic of Maaani, and wider these cireurustancos he (the noble nianjund fours' it necemary to addrest a publie dee. poach to the Foreign-office, stating the painful =predawn which that announcement had produced On the present occasion he should confin e hi mse lf t o gi ving notice of his in tention to move for copies of oreitraeta from any despatches received from her Majesty's minister at Tuscany during the years 11455, ISM, so i l 1a.57, referring to the condition and administration of the Roman States. THE BAY ISLANDS.

Mr. K. HERBERT replied in the affirmative. CASE OF DR. OUNDIR. _ . Colonel GREVILLE asked the Judge .tilvocate whether it was true that Dr. Ouyilir, aseiatantsurgeon, Royal Long ford Rifles, who was tried by a general court-martial on the let and _al data of June last, was placed in arrest on the 10th of May last, and still remains node, arrest, and de barred from practising his profession, in consequence of the finding et the court not having yet been promulgated by the authentic.; , sail if it was true that six field °Moen and +even Capt.:oat of disembodied regiments of militia are still kept under daily pay :.ual allowances awaiting the pro mulgation of the sentence upon Dr. Guydir. Mr. HEADLAM answered that sonic delay had asst airily mime after Dr. Guydir was placed under arrest be fore the court-martial took place - to afford the mesas of making the requisite inquiries, and providing the faces at the cue to the Judge Advocate, After the finding of the court he had had two audiences of her Majesty on the sub ject, and it was not mail a third audience, on the Zlnil of June, that the sentence was confirmed. On the following day the cane with many others was sent to the Commander ind'hief, and he was happy to say the result was that Dr. ltuy.lir would be released. The only inconvenient* the officers cm the court were subjected to was that they were to hold themeless liable to be called upoa to mash eider the case if so directed. TRANSPORTATION TO WRIT AUSTRALIA. Lord A. CHURCHILL naked the Us/ler iteaetemy at State for the Colonies whether it wan the isteeties d her Ifniestys government, in deference to the Imprensa with of the coluaista, to continue the transportation of esoviets to West Australia ; and, if Ito, when another ship would pm sent. • Mr. C. FORTE* TE said there wee no intention to make any change at present, but a earner number of con victs had been sent this pear than lent r and he understood from the prima authorities that no vsel had recently been sent out with convicts, but there was sow a sufficient number of prisoners to sand oat, and • weasel would shortly be chartered for the pumae of calve jieg them. CH ABLA IS AND FAXICIONY. On the question that the house at its rising adjo Ira to Monday, Mr. EINGEAKE, who was very indistinctly beard, asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Again whether all the eight powers, as well as Switzerland and Sardinia, had consented to take part in am proposed coaferrnee on the sub *t of the tri.ial article of the Degaitive Act of Vienna, and whether there was any M Ym orater t c wldln onfere g bet ce or w l n take he ptlce w . the ion to a cadereace was the danger of its seeming to give some thing like a recognition of what had taken place. The Emperor of the French desired a general conference, and not a conference formed epee the bases of the former treaties ; bat the conference could not proceed as the assumption that the treaty of Turin, the treaty of 24th March, was beard on the arrangements by which the neutrality of Switzerland and the provinces In question was secured. Now, if this conference should succeed in its °Nettle would, he thought, confer a great blessing on Eu rop e, and if it should fail, it would, even in that event, prilos a state of things far more desirable than that which now existed, for it would make in an emphatic manner what would then be a recognised impossibility of pt.,,;oe resaty of Turin contrary to the public law of Image, (ber.) Sir It. PEEL wished to soar cue wor ensnare the noble lord anewerwl the iluestion. fie had no wish to enter into any lIDCW4tior, of the general subject, as he hoped before the "NI of the wavion it would be fully gone into. The quevtiou, however, of a conference was now decided, and be hoped that the noble lonl and the powers of Europe who bail given their *meet to it would me that the rights of Elentzertand—th e pony interested— should be fully recomunel. Fr,iiice hail domed that Switzerland bad any right in the matter.

Frame h a d & s a id that Swit zerland should have anything Si. do with th e questing. She had endeavoured to negotiate directly with Switzerland, but Switzerland had very wisely refused to have anything to do with Fresno apart from the other err But now France wished it to be understood that the invitation to attend the conference had come from her, and not from Switzerland. That was n o t th e came ; the fact was the revere& (Hear.) Tb• invitatio n came from SwitverLuid and net from Prance, and it was eso recognised by the powers of Europe. He hoped France would not he allowed to take credit to herself for having assembleil this conference. (Hear, hear.) As France bad denied to Switzerland any portion of the neutralised pro vinces of Chablis and Faucigny—because, as she contended, universal suffrage had given them to France—he (Sir R. Peel) begeed to state that the whole operation of that uni venal garage was false and fallacious. (Hear.) There were 30,000 electors-30,000 adults—capable of exercising the elective franchise in those two proems,. About 22,00 D voted in favour of Frame, but only a very few weeks before 12,000 of the most respectable inhabitants of those same provinces publicly and without any pressure declared that they were entirely in favour of =on with Switserland. (Hear hear.) To go into • conference and say they would not admit of any diminution of property of one power because universal suffrage had given it to another, I was a false and improper ground to go upon, and he hoped the powers of Europe would not submit to the degradation of accepting from France • position so unjust. (Hear, bear. Mr. B. OSBORN h, after reading the despatches of the noble lord (J. Ruses ), must say that he had Science in the way in which he had conducted ti r etti:n affairs of this country. (Loud cheers.) He only uttered the opinions of the public at large when be said that after reading those despatches they might with perfect saf leave the foreign a ff airs of the country in the noble lor ds hands. (Cheers, and " Hear, hear," from Mr. Scully.) That was his opinion, although the honourable and learned member for Cork seemed to doubt it. There was a very grave statement made last night by the hon. member for Bridgewater—and every statement made by him was well worthy the consideration of the house — that at the interview which took place between the Emperor el the French and the Emperor of Austria at Villafranca, the Emperor of the French made a proposition to the Emperor of Austria that if the latter would assist in ex 'ng the French frontier over the Rhenish provmos, the Emperor of the French would give up Lombardy to him. It was quite evident that the hon. member for Bridgewater had extraordirary means of obtaining knowledge on these subjects. He wished to ask the Secretary for Foreign. Affairs whether he was aware that such • pro position as that to which he had just alluded was ever made! He (Mr. Osborne) of course had no means of knowing how the bon. member for Bridge. water (Mr. Kinglake) obtained that knowledge, but he did know that the hon. gentleman obtained information of the inteedel annexation of Savoy before it was communicated to government or to any other member of the house. He (Mr. Osborne) should have supposed that the only person who could have given him that intern ation was the Emperor of Austria. He should have supposed that if there was a person in this country who could have given them informa tion on the subject, it was the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He therefore took the liberty of putting this question, in doing which he would repeat that he had the fulled confidence in the manner in which foreign affairs were conducted by the noble lord. LonlJ. RUSSELL—I can easily answer with regard to the facts of the case, so far as they are within my own knowledge. With regard to the question put by my hon. friend, the member for Bridgewater, my bon. fnend seems to think that certain powers have consented to take part in the proposed conference. Now the way in which the matter stands is this. The house will see from io the jag : presented that the French government have proposed different plans of reconciling the 92nd article of the treaty of Vienna with the treaty of Turin, and a conference is one of these modes. The French government, therefore, have not summoned a conference and asked the powers to join it. But they have proposed one of these three modes. Now, her Majesty's government have no difficulty in saying that t hey accepted the compromise as the beet mode of settling this subject, but it does not appear, as far as we know, that any definitive answer has been given by the other power, of Europe. We have been told—of course the answers do not come to um, but to the French government—we have been told that both Austria and Prussia hesitated on the subject, and that though there is an answer from Russia, saying she is willing to accept the proposal fora conference, it is not • formal and definitive answer on the subject, therefore at present there is no summons from France for the purpose of a conference, and it is not certain at present that the other power have consented to that mode, though I believe they all say that if • conference is summoned they are ready to send representatives to it. With regard to the second question of my hon. friend, whether there is any preliminary understanding between the powers, the French government have stated from the beginning that they think the only basis can be, that the powers shculd endeavour to reconcile the 92nd article of the treaty of Vienna with the treaty of Turin. That seems to us and the other powers to be the proper basis. It allows every latitude for other powers to state their views, and therefore I imagine no other bean will be proposed. As to the observation which I have heard more than once in this house, that France has proposed to tie down the other powers that there should be tgeorition made with re prd to the surrender of any Savoy, no attempt has been made by France to bind down any other power on this subject. But France has said that if such a proposition— [The noble lord here turned his back to the gallery, and the remainder of the sentence was consequently inaudible). With regard to the statement made by the hon. member for Bridgewater last night, as to what took place at the in terview between the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Austria. What happened there could only be known to those two sovereigns. I believe there was no other person present at that interview. We have received various accounts more or leas official with regard to the general sulstanoe of what passed at that interview, but we have not received any account that the proposal alluded to by my hon. friend was made. I have heard the story, but I do not know that there is any authority for it. EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 14, 1860. VOLUNTEERS IN IRELAND, Mr. BRADltlw;;;;;to.libi7;il;iii.;,l the hones to the subject ct the enrolment of volunteers in Ireland. THE PAPER DUTY. Mr. WHALLEY then rose, pursuant to notice, to call the attention of the house to the excise duty on paper, and to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to enforce the payment of that duty. ITMIARATED EXCISEMEN. Mr. BLACK asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether there were any regulations prohibiting men engaged in the peensitivir service on the coast of 8. land from getting maid ; whether those regulations were placed in the lamb cf the men when they joined the service ; and whe ther the Lords of the Treasury imagined that such regula tions, if they existed, ought to be maintained! He (Kr. ' Black) understood that the reason assigned for this rule was that unmarried men were supposed to be more reliable than married ; but it appeared to him that the reverse would be the mom correct idea. At least he remembered hearing a sermon from a rev. divine on the Prodigal Son ; in which, emmienting on the opening words of the parable—" A cer tain man had two sons"—the rev. gentleman laid it was clear that this man mint have been married, for he was called a ' certain' man ; and it was known that married men were much more certain than unmarried, who went palivanting over the country, no one knew where. Poughter.) There had lately been a good deal of talk shout the number of illegitimate births in Scotland ; and it war a curious fact that since we had obtained more accurate returns we bad discovered that we were not only not better ia this respect than the wicked nations of the continent, but were even sornewht worse. There bad been anxious inquiries as to the cause of the evil ; and it appeared to him that the Lords of the Treasury were somewhat in fault ; for it MY obvious that they could not keep a burgs number of men from getting married without the natural result s nBin the births of illegitiant• chil dren. He brgget, therefore, to call on the government to remove as far as they were able this disgrace from the country to which he belonged. (Hear, hear.) Sir S. NOKTHCOTE, in putting a question as to the stato of the negotiation for the transfer of the Galway packet contract to the Montreal and Ocean Steam Naviga tion Company, entered upon an explanation of some length connected with the trsunction. The question and the statement of Sir Stafford gave rise to a debate, in which Mr. Buxton, Sir F. 13aring,Mr. Mali burton, sad Yr. Hennessy took part, and Mr. LAING, on the pan of the government, explained the actual state of the negotiations between the Treasury and the representatives ot the Canadian government on the subject of the transfer, whence it appeared that they were at one time on the point of being broken off. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHNUKR observed that the matters to which his hon. friend the member for Peterborough had called attention, in reference to the paper duty, were matters no doubt of gnat importance for the legislature to consider—but he did not imagine that on account of any difficulty in carrying the law into execution, the government would be justified in taking any step in regard to that law, whatever might be their opinion, which they would not take in reference to any other similar law. THE CHINA WAR. The report of the resolution parsed iu committee of mply on account of the war with Chum, wail brought up speed to. The order of the day foe the house to go into oresunittee of seggi7 as Or remaining portion of the vote wee then rad, - sad on 11111 motion that the .speaker do leave the chair, Mr. B. COCHRANE rose pursuant to notice to move, " That, in order to remove one great obstacle to pes*, with China, the British plenipotentiary be instructed mot to W aist ea the fulfilment of the third article of the tasty of Tima-isia, by which his Majesty the Emperor of China arms that the ainbenador, minister, or other diplomatic egad appointed by her Majesty the Queen of Great Bri. tails, may reside, with his family and establish. meat, permanently at the capital, or may visit it comisionelly, at the option of the British government." The question having been put, Lord J. RUSSELL said the hon. gentlemen must be aware that he had made his motion not only in a most un usual form, bet he seemed altogether unmindful cd the fact that Lord Elgin bad been sent out to China by her Majesty, and had received instructions from her Majesty, and that be would here to conduct himself according to those in structions. It wonLI be impossible therefore that the house could agree to the motion that the government should send out the instructions which he migrated. The bon. gentleman referred to the Treaty of Tien-tam, but V be wished to obtain any alteration of it, he should have mowed as Kamm to the crown to that effect, because it war very rovusual for the liaise of Commons to send in atnietiom to our inialetere at foreign court', and besides, to give each instructions would bo acting contrary to those "Oven 1-7 her Mujestty. With regard to the motion itself, be would merely observe that the has. gentleman imagined ,a . ! to enfor ce the demand would be 'Ascii)! the Chinese thst leis aotborit would be in dancer d beilmideing.rdocbole?api:::l:4l; ruined. But the hon. gentleman should remember that rt so happened that after Lord Elgin inserted the condition of the Russian minister had been allowed to =d u arPekin and to enjoy the privilege which Lord Elgin had claimed. The Chinese government did not object to the Russian minister going to reside at the capital, and farther he was received at Pekin with mat courtesy and eassideration, and although he had rem there a great many months the Emperor had not fallen, nur had he or his ministers been degraded in the eyes of the people. (Hear, hear.) It might be well that the Emperor of China should know that there were other independent sovereigns in the world—not his verde—who claimed an equal right to send representatives to his court. He (Lord John Russell) bad of ten spoken to Lord Elgin on the subject, and he said that the question wan entirely changed since the Russian minister bad been allowed to be come a resident at. Pekin, and that it was impossible for the Chinese government to may that they would not grant the same privilege to Great Britain which they had granted to Russia. That being the case, Lord Elgin was ci opinion, and so were all the members of the cabinet, that they should insist upon demanding that a British minister should raids at Pekin or have the option of doing so. There was no intention by following that course to punish the Chinese government. It should be remembered that the treaty with Chins had received the special sanction of the Emperor himself, and at a time when the British government had a very small force in China. He should therefore oppose the motion, in the first place because it would be ifivuig instructions in contradiction to those which her Majesty had already given; and, in the second place, because he saw no MOOD for altering the in structions so given. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then negatived without a division, and the house went into a COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY, Yr. Yam= in the chair. On the vote that the sum of 443,9601. be granted to her Majesty for the repayment to the government of India of advances on account of former expeditions to China, A long discussion commenced, which reamed over a great variety of topics relative to the policy of the peemt and past wars with China and to the financial incident. of this particular vote. In the course of the discussion, Mr. ROEBUCK sad the hon. the member for Karam gentleman (Sir H. Willoughby) had dananded from the go vernment a balance-sheet. In that demand be (Mr. Roe buck) fully concurred, but there wee 0,01 another Tierra he was anxious to put, namely, what we to be paned by the war? (Hear, hear.) He wished to know se object the government had in view, &ad what benefit they intended to render to the country by the extraordinary expenditure of blood and treasure which the contemplated war involved ? (Hear, hear.) It had been hie fate to sit on the benches opposite just beneath the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he deli eared six able and eloquent speech upon the subject of a war with China. The right hon. gentleman then fulmi nated against the then administration for undertaking a Chinese war. He pointed out how vain were the ends that were sought to be attained, and how mischievous were the mean, that were adopted to attain them. But places bad since changed, and opinions bad changed too—(hem, hear) —and be now found the tight hon. gentleman supporting the very vote which in 1857 he described as a dirrece to the country. (Hear, hear.) The words of the right hon. gentleman a speech were still ringing in his WI. He re collected turning round totbe right hon. gentlemen, perhaps presumptuously, and expreadng to him his (Mr. Roebuck s) earnest admiration of the sentiments he had heard ex pressed. But little had he thought that it would be his fate to sit opposite the right hon. gentleman and find him the mart eloquent @urrata. of this most atrocious proceeding. In 1857 the right hon. gentlemen spoke with an eloquence so startling and convincing, that there could be no mistake as to his meaning, and none as to him feelings. He did not attempt to conceal his meaning, or smother his feelings in • multitude of words. Not a bit of it. On the contrary, the speech of the right hon. gentleman was so plain, so succinct, and so affecting, that the effect it bad produced upon the mind of the country had remained until the present hour. Indeed if he (Mr. Roebuck) required a strong argument against a Chinese war, he bad only to go to the quiver of the right hon. gentleman, in order to draw out the most effective arrow that could be discharged. (Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances, he wished to know ilowthat which wee ao very immoral in 1857 became right and proper in 1860 ; and why the right hon. gentleman now found himself an advocate of measures which so very recently he had most violently attacked? (Hear, hear.) He again asked if any right hon. gentleman upon the Treasury bench could state to the house and the country the object expected to be gained by • war with China, rd what benefit would be de rived from the expenditure of blood end treasure—the end of which no man could foresee—in the violation of every principle of justice and morality? (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he felt no difficulty whatever—(lsughter)—though he felt • great deal of pain in answering the challenge of the hon. gentle man. The hon. gentleman asked bow it was , possible for him (Mr. Gladstone) to have been so inconsistent as to have objected to a war with China in 1857, and to have been • supporter of • government which was to carry on • war with China in IMO. The explanation wee to be found, he apprehended, in this fact, that the nature of the two wars was entirely distinct, and their causes entirely different. (Hear, hear.) It might be that the war in 1857 was right and the present war wrong, or it might be that the present war was right, and the war of 1857 wrong; or it might be that both were right, or it might be that both were wrong. (Laughter and cheer.) There was thus, at all events, an abundant choice of alter natives. (Heir, hear .) With respect to the present war, he hoped 1111 had never spoken of it in terms other than those of the deepest regret and lamentation • but be con ceived that the steps which had been taken b y Majesty's government had been taken in conformity with their public duty, and that their views on that subject had never been challenged in that house. Although he had seen with the greatest satisfaction that the how* was disposed to deplore the occurrences that hail made this war • matter of neces sity, he thought, on the other hand, that the house had generally acquiesced in that necessity. When he found what had taken place at the mouth of the Peiho—though he was not going to assume the functions of the Foreign Minister—he thought the hon. and learned gentleman would admit that it was their duty, in the interest of our own country and of humanity at large, to send a considerable force to China ; but at the same time it was thew desire to make that force the bearer of • message offer ing terms of as moderate a character as was possible for us toinsist upon. He (the right hon. gentleman) certainly did not think that theterma which they had directed our agents to prow could be excepted to on the score of their violence or excess. (Hear, hear.) He had himself ventured to remark upon what he deemed to be the rootof thesewars, for he did not desire to dissemble or gloss over the evils which they entailed by appeals to our national pride. He thought it nght that the house should have a full view both of their enormous cost and of their probable recurrence from time to time, unless they adopted wise and prudent rules for the guidance of all their transactions in the Fast, and likewise of their social and political responsibilities, which were the necessary consequences of these wars. (Hear, hear.) He felt, therefore, that he had no reason to shrink from answering the questions which had been put to him that evening. With regard to that which had been asked by the hon. member for Portsmouth—he was really not able to state what had been the monthly disbursements of the government on account of this war ; for it was entirely beyond the power of the government to give Lim any trustworthy information on the subject. It would be • mere mockery and • delusion to at tempt to give any precise account ; but the govern ment had formed, from the means of information in their possession, the best estimate they could of the probable ex penditure for the year. With regard to the statement of the hon. end learned geatlemen the member for Sheffield, that the looney had virtually been already spent, and that they would require many more millions in order to defray the expenditnre of the year, he knew of no facts to support that observation, The whole matter was, however, so full of uncertainty that it was impossible to form anything that could properly be called an estimate. All that they could do would be to state (if that were required), the amount of the drafts that were made on account of the treasury cheat in China upon the treasury at home; but that would afford very imperfect information, because the drafts did not on the face of them show how much was for ordinary and how much fin extraordinary expenditure. Mr. BRIGHT observed that the right hon. gentleman had not answered the question respecting the balance be tas', the Exchequer and the Indian government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the amount admitted by the Indian government on account of her Majesty's government between the years 18414-9 and 1868-9 was 281,376/. The charge at the end of last year on account of the India military force in China was , 82,5001. ; end there was • further liability on account of the auvuentation of that force amounting to 85,0001. ; making the total of 443,000/. provided for is the Chinese estimates now submitted to parliament. There were some other accounts which had not yet been adjusted, bat he did not believe that the balance payable an the one side or the other would be large. Mr. B. OSBORNE observed that the right bon. gentle man had omitted to answer the important question which had been put to him by the member for Sheffield, viz.— What was the object of this war? (Cheers.) Mr. A. MILLS said that if the speech of the right hon. gentleman were intended as an explanation, it had only rendered the gaieties, more dark than it was before. Lord J. MANNERS remarked that if the government were really going . to adopt wise and prudent rules in the management of their intercourse with the East, these rules ifina • salatery contrast to everything that bad guile before. The right hon. gentleman bad presumed to lay down • position which he ventured to ray the hoses had never sanctioned—viz, that this war was being carried on with their full assent. (Cheers.) He (the noble lord) alto. gether demurred to that statement. This war had virtually Lees commenced, not only without the consent el the house, but without their knowledge. They were DOW asked to pay • bill after the liability had been incurred, and they were therefore in no position to resist the demand ; but, so far as the debate that evening could be reganlod as any test of the opinion of parliament, it was decidedly unfavounible. It was • remarkable circumstance that up to that moment no one, either on the government or oa any side of the house, had risen to express say sympathy whatever with the objects of the war, or to express any opinion on it, ex cept an earnest prayer and hope that it might be brought to • termination with the utmost poesible speed, and with the utmost consideration for the feelings of the Chinese. (Cheers.) For his own part he (the noble lord) hoped that the government would lay that opinion deeply to heart, and would omit no opportunity of bringing to such a con clusion this melancholy and miserable war. (Cheers.) Lord J . RUSSELL thought that surely if any gentleman in that house ought to be lammed as to the orieen of this war, it must be th ose who daces • minister to go to China . and who appointed an admiral to command the vessels is the Chinese waters ; who gave instructions to the minister they sent as to the terms which he should demand, and directed the admiral that he stank' be accompanied by an imposing and efficient hem (Cheers.) The government like the rest of the house were estouldied, sad at the rune time grieved, by the reception of the news from the Palle j but those events were not of their . They did not appoint the minister, and they d i d not give him his instructions, but now it appeared that the noble lord, like the right hon. baronet the late First Lord of the Admi ralty, wished to hold them responsible for the cala mities which had occurred. (Cheers.) The noble lord seemed to think that her Majesty's present advisers were not afflicted by the intelligence ; but why were they sup posed to g rieve leas than other members of that house for the loss of their countrymen, or to apprehend with less sorrow the length of the war which had broken out? (Cheers.) They did, in fact, deeply grieve for what had taken place ; but it was their duty when they received the intelligence from China to consider what, as ministers of the Queen, it was best for them to do. The bon. and gallant gentleman said that they might have taken the same course as the Americans had done. But the Americans before they took that course bad not sent an impoMng force to the Peiho • and they had not e.mredf a Wamity like that whic h had happened to us. (Hear, hear.) He would not dispute whether it was a dignified course that the Americans had taken, but the time had passed when we could follow their example. (Chews.) Mr. T. BARING remarked that the noble lord said it was necessary for the protection of our trade that we should go up to Pekin ; but he believed if the noble lord had consulted those who were concerned in that trade he would find it was not to Pekin they wanted to go, or to have • minister, but to those places when British interests were concentrated. He for one was bound to say that he lameetadthe policy which this country had pursued in roped to China, and be thought the course el conduct punned by Sir J. Bowl-lag was such as to _give an impulse to what was called foreign interference in China. Sir C. NAPIER should like to mak, why did not Lord I:tester in Chine, and seethe treaty executed? B. CECIL wanted to call the attention of the go vernmeat to any measure which might prevent the recur. canoe of these wars. He believed that until they could ' restrain the officials they employed they would never be able to control such men as 3D. Bruce, Sir J. Bowring, Mr. Murray, and Lord Dalhousie. He believed it was not the officials, but the English government who employed those officials who were to be blamed ; and until some condemna tion of conduct was pronounced by that house, the country would never cease to be involved in these struggles with powers in AIM. Lord PALMERSTON said that the noble lord who had jest sat down seemed to think that all the officials who were employed by the governments of different administra tions had neglected their duties, by dragging the country into unnecessary wars and the her. gentleman who spoke before the noble lord thith e l n y condemned the policy of send ing a minister to Pe • , as being injurious to the interests of trade. But did the hon. gentleman think that trade in a country like China could be established unless the subjects of this country had certain rights and privileges secured to them ' Did the hon. gentleman suppose that unless they sent out en adequate farce to China the persons and property of merchant' there would be secure' The hon. gentleman knew too much about mercantile affairs not to know that, in order to enjoy the advantage' of trade, they must have by treaty conditions and securities by which merchants might be secure against injuries from individuals and injustice from the foreign government. These were the objects for which treaties with China had been concluded. It was very easy to treat lightly the compacts which we had entered into with the Chinese • but did not the hon. gentleman re member the accla mations with which the treaty concluded by Sir Henry Pottinger were received in this country' (Cheers.) Did he not remember the anticipations which then prevailed in the minds of commercial men of advantages to be derived from that treaty, which, though they were not fully realised—(opposition cheers)—yet led to an in crease of our commercial relations, which since that treaty, and in consequence of it, fully justified the policy of the government who obtained its ratifications. (Cheers.) He bad the honour of sendincout the instructions upon which Sir H. Pottinger acted. The government of Lord Derby took credit for the conclusion of that treaty ; and, instead of treating it as • light and insignificant tranasction, they hailed it as en event of the greatest importance. After wards came the transactions in the Canton River, as to which the opinion which was entertained by that home was well known, and had frequently been alluded to in that de bate. But the subject of the present debate had nothing to do with the transactions in the Canton river; and it was unjust to Sir John Bowring to bring forward his name in connec. tion with the present argument. Sir John Bowring had no more to do with the present state of affairs in China than the hon. member who had just spoken. (Hear, hear.) It was the late government which authorised the conclusion of the treaty of 'llen.tain. The late government sent out • minister, to be support ed by a su ffi cient force, to ratify . that 'Meaty at Pekin. Elgin was afterwards commissioned to obtain the ratifications of the treaty at Pekin. Without that treaty, it was impossible to conduct commercial &Heirs at Canton, at Shanghae, at Ningpo, or at any of the ports of the empire. The hon. gentleman said that we ought not to deal with the Chinese according to the forma of diplomacy usual in Europe—that with this poor and simple-minded people we should not deal as with a civilised nation. But the lion. gentleman must know that of all nations in the world the Chinese attached the greatest value to forms—(hear, hear)—with them forms were a matter of substance ; and that with • nation who paid attention to the most minute gradation of forms, it was of the greatest importance to maintain our dignity, and to assert rights, the value of which they knew as well, or better than soy people in the world. the Emperor of China had sanctioned in the fullest manner every article and every word of this treaty. But the Emperor of China knew as well as anybody in Europe that until that treaty was ratified it was not * binding ; and though he had sane tinned every word of the treaty he refused to exchange ratifications, holding himself at liberty to break every article of the compact which by his own edict he had agreed to and adopted. To this date of things it was impossible to submit—(cheers)—and it was therefore necessary to ob tain these ratifications at Pekin. It was not for the pur poses of trade that our minister was to go to Pekin ; he was to go there to obtain the ratifications of the treaty ; and unless they were obtained there, trade would be insecure at every other part of the empire. Then the hon. gentleman said, " Why should we insist upon having a minister at Pekin'" The hon. gentleman should ask those who sent out the in. structious. (Cheers.) But he (Lord Palmerston) would give an answer for them, as they did not choose to justify their own proceedings. ot him ask the merchants of the country—let him ask any association of persons who con ducted mercantile operations with China. They would tell him of the crem, inconveniences they were put to, of the delays =mooned by officials upon some frivolous pretext or the other, of the violations of justice and denials of right to which they were exposed. It was 'therefore demanded by all who were acquainted with the country that we should have the power of direct oommunicatim with the seat of government itself. What other country in the world was there with which wu had relations of commerce in which we had not the right to go to the seat of government, and communicate with that government as to the conduct of our affairs' Not to have the right of going to Pekin, or of making periodical visits to the capital—to deny us that right was to place us in a position in which no country ought to stand, when such relations existed between them as had been established between England and China. But the hon. gentleman had said that it was fatal to the dignity, to the liberties, to the stahilityof the Chinese empire that • foreign minister should be resident is Pekin. He said that our proceedings would produce convulsions in Chins and throw the empire into entire confusion. He (Lord Palmerston) believed no such thing. On the contrary, he felt confident that, when a full and formal ratification of the treaty had been obtained, a re-establishment of friendly relations with the greet powers of the West would add to the stability of the empire rather than endanger it. It was very well to say that we ought to have submitted to the perfidious attack on the Pei ho. But what was the feeling in the country' (Chem.) Was there any man who, upon hearing of that dis aster, would not have scouted with indignation the proposal that we should tamely submit to it ? (Cheers.) That we should allow our fellow subjects to be murdered, our treaty to be torn up as waste paper ; and because we had suffered these indignities • and outrages on the part of a nation we deemed less civilised than ourselves, that we should submit at the bands of the Chinese to what we should not bare endured from any other nation in the world ? (Cheers.) The proposal of such • course would have been scouted with universal indigna tion. The government had no choice as to the course to be outlived ; and the only question with regard to the public was this—whether they had taken adequate means to re dress these injuries, sod whether those means would be so wisely pursued as to obtain results commensurate with the cost that had been incurred. (Cheers.) The vote was then agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. _ _ On the motion of The — ext;t7cam.oa of the Excliznezz, the committee was postponed till Monday. THE BANKRUVIVY BILL.

EQUITY COURTS.—JULY 13. (Before Vice.Chaecellor Woud.) EVANB V. CARRINGTON. This cue, which has figured in the Divorce Court, and in every court auxiliary to, or connected with, that institution, and the facts of which are, consequently, pretty well known to the public., came before this court upon the hearing of a suit to eat aside the settlement made on, and the separation deed made after, the marriage of the plaintiff, Mr. Evans, and the defendant Mary Sophia, his late and divorced wife. The ground upon which it was attempted to set aside thew deed' was that they had been obtained by fraud and collision between Mary Sophia Evans and Robert Ansley Robinson, her paramour. The facts have been so frequently stated in these columns, that it is sufficient to state them shortly in this place. The intimacy between the plaintiff and his late wife commenced seine time before the year 1850, the introduction being effected through Robinson. In DMA the marriage took place. Shortly after disputes and differences arose, and the parties separated, a deed being executed upon their separa tion, giving to the defendant, the wife, an allowance of =Of. a year. After this time the plaintiff discovered that before the marriage an improper intimacy subsisted between Robinson and his wife,which intimacy, it appeared, had been renewed since the separation. The bill also alleged that improper intercourse took place between the parties after the date of the marriage, and prior to the separation; but this the court was of opinion was not ens. tamed by the evidence. Under these circumstances the plaintiff contended that there was enough upon the face of the proceedings to justify the allegations that the me nage, the settlement, and the separation were matters into which he was drawn by fraud and contrivance of the wife and her paramour, and that therefore he ought to be re. lieved from the obligations cast upon him by the two docu ments. . . ..“. Mr. ffolt and Mr. Hallett were for the plaintiff ; Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Frosting, and Mr. Brodrick, appeared for parties interested. The Vice-Chancellor came to the conclusion that the bill ought to be dismissed with oasts. Upon a former occasion (oo allowing a demurrer) he had adverted to the legal diffi culties in the way of the plaintiffs claim. He now added that upon the evidence he thought the case fell short of the plaintiff's allegations, and he could therefore give no relief. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JOLT 13. (Before the Judge °unitary.) LANTIMILLE E. ANDERSON AND OUICHAED ONTERVENIN. This was a cause relating to the will of the late Mr. Wil liam Anderson, an Irish gentleman who had died in France s c o=go ea the year 1849. Mr. Anderson (who had left o Ile property) was educated in France ; and at the breakMg out of the revolution he was secreted in the house of ..me Laneuville's mother, and was enabled by her assistance to return safe to this country. He did not leave France, however, till he had become engaged to the young lady, but hi s letters miscarried and he lost sight of her for forty years. He at length suc ceeded in discovering her by means of advertisements; but he found that she wee married to M. laneuville, and was the mother of several children. He then went to France and took up his abode with her family. In 1843 be had executed a will in favour of his nephew, the defendant, but in 1848 be made • new will in favour of Madame laneuville. On his death the validity of this instrument was impeached, on the ground that though exe cuted in conformity with the law of France it did not comply with the provisions of the English statute; but after much litigation, the French domicile of the de ceased had been established ; and the question that now arose was as to whether the will would pass property of the deceased in this country. M. Guichard, the intervener, was the executor under the second will. Mr. Bova!, Q.C., Mr. Greer, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, and Mr. Eddie ; Sir H. Cairns, Q.C., Dr. Twin, Q.C., and Mr. Hards ; Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Lushington, appeared for the respective parties. M. Malantert, docteur en droit, and avast de la Cour Imperial., gave evidence as to the French law bearing on the question. It was clear to him that Madame Laneuville was named legataire universelle of the deceased's estate ; and that the will had pealed to her the whole of his property, real or personal, foreign or French. The appointment of a legataire universelle would not revoke a bequest under a previous will, unless such bequest were expressly annulled, or unless it were incompatible with the universal donation. For ex ample, if Mr. Anderson had said in his prior will, " I give my nephew my Irish property," the appointment of the lega taro universelle would not revoke that gift, unless the whole of his property were in Ireland. The revocation of a previous by a subsequent will was a matter of interpreta tion. Thum if the prior gift constituted the bulk of the property, it would be annulled by the appointment of a uni versal legatee. Such questions were, however, within the province of the judge, who endeavoured in each ease to ascertain as well as he could the true intention of the testator. The case was proceeding when the court me. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Worcarenat JULY 13. Nisi Paws Comm—Melon Mr. Baron Chaiell sad s Special Jury.) The learned Judge having disposed of the common jury causes, proceeded to try prisoners until the hour fixed fur special juries. Henry Harwood was indicted for stabbing William Marsh, with intent to murder him, at Penmen. Mr. J. D. Coleridge was retained for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended by counsel. The prosecutor, a grocerand beer-housekeeper at Porten, after a three years' courtship, married a woman, who sub sequently had two children by him, having previously had one child by the prisoner ; and after they had been married about a year and a half, Marsh discovered that his wife was, in fact, the wife of Harwood, to whom she had been married some years. Harwood was then at sea, as steward, and on his return he wrote to Marsh, offering to compromise matters ; he would not molest them if he were permitted occasionally to see his child, now an years old. On the evening of June 20 Harwood rushed into Marsh's house, with a knife raised in hi* right hand, knocked him down and fell upon him, and Marsh discovered that he was stabbed. . . . . Mr. Garrington, surgeon, found a wound lo inch in length, just under the last rib on the left side. Prisoner said be was totally unconscious of what had taken piace. He met his wife casually shortly before this occurrence, and staked why he was not allowed to see his child. His wife, who spoke very tenderly, said, " You know how it is; he has threatened if I see you privately to turn me out of doors." He told her she knew he was open to receive her if she would return, and that would be the beet in the end. She alluded to the children by Marsh, who then came in sight, and they separated. They were both deeply affected ; his wife seemed as though her heart would break, and he was moved to tears. His Instill was ready to burst ; he had a few glasses of porter, and then became un conscious of everything. He bad corresponded with Lis wife daring the whole time of his absence from England, and was not aware of her second mar ri age. The jury convicted the prisoner of illegally wouneing, and recommended him to the merciful consideration of his lord ship, who sentenced him to three months imprisonment. NORFOLK CIRCUIT—AYLEssurtY, JULY 13. Clown —(Before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Fleas.) Jape Harding, 29, wee charged with &hooting at Sarah Harding, his wife, with intent to murder her, at Winslow, on the 21st of February. ➢fr. Fremantle was counsel for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. The prisoner was a labouring man at Winslow, in this county, and had been married some eight years, having a family of four children. On the night in question he re. turned home very late, having Leen drinking in the town, and commenced threatening and abusing his wife. He also complained that she would not remain at home, and had spent a shilling he had given her. Having ill-treated her eery much downstairs, he followed her to the bed-room, and levelling • gun at her, the contents were lodged in her body. She was fortunately in a stooping position at the time, and the charge entering at the side passed beneath the skin of the abdomen and was left at the back of the upper part of the thigh. He then struck Ler with the butt cud of the gun and the poor creature fainted. Becoming alarmed, he then un. dressed her, and some neighbours coming in he admitted that he intended to kill her, that he had given her an hour for repentance, and that he meant for some time past to have her life. To one he said he had borrowed the gun on purpose. Fur several weeks the Woman's life was in im minent danger. Upon being called on for his defence, the prisoner, crying violently, said hie wife had been a very bad wife to him and a bad mother to his children. He also added that he was so drunk at the time he did not know what he was doing, and that he would as soon have shot himself ss his wife. The jury found Lim Guilty of the intent to murder, bat said they believed the prisoner had received great provoca tion. He was senteoced to penal servitude fur life. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--OraPoRD, JLLT 13. ettowx COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Byles.) Ann Barkers, servant, aged 22, was charged with ►hrowing her child, Charles Barkers, thirteen months of r4e, iuto a WOl4 with intent to murder him, at !video, on the 18th of April last. Mr. Crippeappeared for the prosecution ; Mi. ill fended the prisoner. In support of the charge a number of witnesses appe a red, and the case occupied the court for several hours, but the' facts were simply as follow : On Wednesday, the 17th of April last, the prisoner, who bad been stay with her child at the house of a relative, Mrs. Prior, 0 1 Ipsden, left a little before nine, with her child, as she represented, to visit her aunt at Henley. About an hour after she warn seen by two witnesses on th e road to Henley without her child. On reaching Henley, in reply to a question by her aunt as to how her child was, she stated that she had put it out to nurse with a person named Prior, at Hetheridge-hill, as she was anxious to go to service again. She stopped the sight with her aunt, and returned the next evening by train from TWAall, when aurelllg woman who knew her, and that she had a b a by, her where it was, when she replied that it was dead, and had been for two months. In the mean time, late on Thursday evening, two men were at the old well at Ipsden, one being a stranger and wishing to see it. While there, they out of curiosity threw Nome stones down the well, and immediately heard the cry of a child proceeding from it. Having procured riven and a rail, they let a bay down with a lantern, and he found the child, and brought it up in his arms. It was alive, but cold, and bleeding from wounds on the head. Owing to the great and prompt attention which was paid to it, it ultimately min erect, It was produced in court, and looked well and full of ani mation. The prisoner was taken into custody on Friday, the 20th of April, when she admitted that she had stum bled over a stump near, and that the child had fallen out of her arms into the well ; that she remained there two hours, heard the child cry, and then lett. The Judge summed up with great care, remarking on the different account' which the prisoner heigiven of her child, and on her extraordinary conduct, it the child bad fallen by accident down the well, in not obtaining assistance, but allowing it to remain there fur two days without saying a word about it. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the capital charge, and the fudge ordered sentence of death to be recorded against her, but said he should take time to consider what punishment he should award her MARKETS.

The recent failure here has caused less busbiess in cloths for India, and induced much caution amongst sellers as well as buyers. For 36 inch shirting' there have been but few sides, and priors are a shade lower. Long cloths and T cloths are saleable, but at low rates, and the operations in them have been unimpor• tent.
