Consols remain quoted 94 to 1 for money, and 941 to 1 for the account (April 11). Late yesterday afternoon the prospectus of the expected further issue of the Victoria (Australia) Government Railway Loan made its appearance. These debentures correspond exactly with those already placed in the English market. The amount now offered is 2,650,0001. sterling. Tenders will be received at the London and Westminster Bank until two o'clock on the 11th of April, when they will be publicly opened, as upon the former occa sions. A deposit of 6 per cent. must be previously lodged. It appears that the plan is persevered in of requiring the entire amount of the loan to be paid up within three weeks, the debentures being deliverable on the 30th of April "upon payment of the balance due thereon." This stipulation may occasion some disturbance in the money market. A meeting of the holders of the Spanish Coupon Certificates is convened by the committee for the 3nl of April. 14,0001. in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation, but this was quite an exceptional operation. The Wellesley has ar rived from Melbourne with 94,0001. in gold. A further reduction of id. has taken place in the value of bar silver, the present quotation being ss. 11d. per ounce standard. A number of the dollars recently received from Mexico rid New York are spurious. The execution is remarkably good. TALLOW MARKET. —(THIS DAY.)

I ' .PERIAL PARLIAMENT. 110178 X OF LORDB.—FszoAy,'MA3kli 30. • Lard BADISDAL; as Depot' , Speaker, took biz seat on the yashmak at eve e'etodi THE CHINA EXPEDITION. Lord OBEY, in tmoving for an estimate of the probable cod of the expedition to Chine up to the close of the Mien cial year 18110.1, together with all charges for transport, freight, military stores, and coal% 'Sated that the abject. of his mothe was to obtain not an exact but on approximate estimate of the probable coat for the Chinese expedition. 'twee ins 'hie to foretell what the exact cost of the expodi , tion would be, but it was possible, he considered, to make out an estimate which would, in round numbers, show the possible cost of the meseures which had been adopted, supposing no unforeseen contingency should arise. He proceeded to con d e mn, in no measured terms, the conduct of the govern ment for having declared war with China without having previously consulted parliament —a course of conduct which would be highly detrimental to the country. Every blow struck at China would tell more or less against our selves, fur it was impossible to con ce i ve commerce progress by. bu rning Chinese cities and by slaughtering without dia crunination the Chinese people, The Duke of SOMENSET considered that no blame could attach to the government for the result of the occurrences in China, as they were not in Aloe at the time when those events happened. The present government, he considered, would, however, have been highly to blame if they had not taken immediate steps to obtain reparation for the outrage on our flag. That outrage was premedi tated, and was another link in the chain of the systematic evasions of our claims to have an ambassador at Pekin. Our relations with China for many years bad been on a most unsatisfactory footing, and the present crisis must sooner or later have come to pass. He sincerely trusted that b %ird iin G poi rez bi W e il t, u , id ani no v t turns, As far as the Admiralty was concerned, he did not think e preal at an f ything or theme lik re ssiccurat; i in t w th ' e u m bi . that the nivel operations during the present year would ex ceed the sum of 850,0001. Lord MALMEIIBURY defended at some length the course which had been pursued by the late government in their Chinese policy. He considered that Mr. Bruce had acted with undue precipitation, and objected to the way in which we were accustomed to treat the Chinese people—at one moment as barbarians and at another as a civilised na tion. The Chinese were a highly civilised nation, and it was most impolitic on our pert to treat them in such an incon sistent manner. Lord ELGIN thought the view taken in this country cf our liabilities in the Chinese war was exaggerated, and pro ceeded to defend Mr. Bruce from the charge of precipitancy brought against him by Lord Malmeabury. He explained the rem/ions by which be had been influenced in accepting a second time the post of plenipotentiary to China, haring done so on the distinct understanding that no personal alight was initialed to Mr. Bruce. He should use his best efforts to obtain reparation from the Chinese government for the late outrages, and endeavour to place the future relations of this country and China upon a more satisfactory basis. It would be necessary, he thought, to insist on our right of sending an ambassador to Pekin, and he entertained a hope that the Chinese government would make such con cessions as would render a recourse to hostilities nn- na iMLLENBOROUGH thought no one better quali fied to carry on our negotiations with China than Lad Elgin. He placed much confidence in the power of Lord Elgin to conclude peace ; but he considered that no could be permanent in China unless our own mere and people, to whom he traced the origin of all our milt unch.rstanding and wars with China, were properly con trolled. He held the present war in the utmost horror, and, stigmatising it as mod unjust, repudiated with con oontempt the principle that it waltiirt hi t: es :ake war for the of milting money. No nate notion existed in purpose of the horrors of the • war of 1842 horrors so great that he, when Governor-General of India, had not dared to publish the returns he received detailing those horrors. In the cause of humanity he felt confident that Lord Elgin would do all in his power to bring the pre sent asperities to a pacific conclusion.

The Earl of CAMPERDOWN asked what steps the go vernment had taken in order to secure for this country the benefit of Mr. Whitworth's inventions in rifled fire-arms sod projectiles. Earl DE GREY and RIPON said it would scarcely be necessary to tell the noble earl or to assure their lordships that the greet results of the trial of the gun which bad been invented by Mr. Whitworth, as exhibited by the ex periments at Southport, had engaged the attention of his right hon. friend the Secretary at War and of her Majesty's government. Those experiments had attracted attention in every part of the country, and the report of their results had received the beet consideration at the hands of the ministry. He begged further to state that the object of the government in regard to this matter being simply to obtain for the coun the weapon which was most e ffi cient for warfare, his right hon. friend had deter mined that a formal trial of this gun should take place, to be under the supervision of officers of the government ap pointed to superintend experiments of this nature, and who were wholly unconnected with any particular manu facturer or inventor—namely, the members of the Ordnance Select Committee, presided over by an officer of great ex perience, Colonel St. George, who himself was pre. sent at Southport at the first display of the riled cannon invented and recently exhibited by Mr. Whitworth. Nothing could be more important than that this country, distinguished as it was for its triumphs of mechanical genius, should be provided with the beet weapon of defence that could be invented ; and he (Earl de Grey) could assure the noble earl that no ad herence to preconceived opinion would deter her Majestic after government from selecting that weapon which, .• In vestigation, should turn out to be the best. He was sure, however, that the house would not desire her Majesty's go vernmeat to decide without a full and complete examina tion. (Hear, hear.) They were anxious, theref to propose this trial ; Mr. Whitworth had declared self ready to submit his gun to the examination, and there could be no question, as the results at Southport showed, that the gun would prove itself a most valuable engine of warfare under any circumstances under which it might be tried. There was one point, however in his noble friend's speech which he (Earl de Grey) had heard with loss plea sure than the rest. His noble friend appeared to draw an unnecessary comparison between Mr. Whitworth's inven tion and that of Sir W. Armstrong. Both the inventors were men of great ability and of remarkable talent—(hmar, hear)—and whilst he quite agreed in the eulou which had been passed upon Mr. Whitworth, he must take exception to that part of ins noble friend's speech which seemed to convey something of a reflection upon Sir William Arm strong's present position. There was no intention on the part of her Majesty's government to give to any one a mo nopoly of government manufacture. It would be granted neither to Sir W. Armstrong nor to the company which he represented. The noble earl must remember that the late government entered into certain arrangements with Sir W. Armstrong relative to the works at Elswick, which were of • very peculiar character. Sir W. Armstron gave up his invention and all the improvements ie.h be had subsequently made in it. In return he was ap pointed to the office of overseer of riled ordnance, with a salary of 3,0001. a-year. Very shortly after a large supply of rifled cannon was required. Sir W. Armstrong was the only person who could make these par ticular cannon, though other gum could be made at ordi nary iron works or anywhere else. Consequently, Sir W. Armstrong's foundry was established at Woolwich, and General Peel devoted the energies of the gunmakers at Woolwich to rifled ordnance. But his right bon. friend had no intention of giving either to Sir W. Armstrong or to any one else any exclusive monopoly. if Mr. Whit worth or any other inventor could show any superiority in his invention, an opportunity would be afforded to him of displaying it. There was one paint, however, connected with the Whitworth rifle to which he would venture to allude. It must be borne in mind that at the time when the comparison between the Whitworth and Enfield rifle which had been referred to was made, the Whitworth rifle was a much more costly weapon than that which was ultimately adopted. He was not speaking of great guns ; but in speaking of the rifle, the expense did materially enter into calculation, when there was a qoestion of supp l y ing the army with one sort of weapon. Mr. Whit worth, however, was now able to produce JAM at lase bet. He had, he believed, stated all that his noble friend wished to know. He begged to enure his noble friend there was every intention on the part of the government to examine this question in the fu lles t manner, and to decide in the fairest spirit upon the invention which might prove most efficient; nor need any inventor be afraid of not obtaining a fair and honour able trial if he were only willing to submit to it. (Hear.) The Earl of CAMPERDOWN, in explanation, begged to disavow having used any expressions which were intended to cast any 'ideation upon the character or position of Sir W. Armstrong. The subject then dropped ; and their lordships adjourned at ten minutes to eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, Wham 30. The firsacia took the chair at the usual hour.
