1 111PERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack id five o'clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a bill to amen , I the law relating to attorneys and solicitors, by which It wit! I proposed to improve the education of both with re spect to their professional acquirements. If articled clerks had is ►ken & degree at a University, the term of servitude was _ ) be shortened two years. , MR. JUSTICE BLACKBURN. Lord LYNDHURST—I wish to call your lordships' attention to a recent appointment to the judicial bench— the appeintment of Mr. Blackburn to a puisne judgeship in the C' mart of Queen's Bench. I have been asked who is Mr. T 31ackburn ; and a journal which takes us all to task by turn s has asked somewhat indignantly, " Who is Mr. Ble ,ckburn ? Who is Mr. Blackburn ?" (" Hear, hear," froan the Lord Chancellor.) I take leave to answer that he i.s a very learned person, a very sound lawyer, an admirable arguer of a law ease, and eminently fitted for a seat on the bench. (" Hear, hear," from Lord Brougham.) These appointments are exclusively in the hands of the Lord Chancellor; he is solely responsible for them; but of this I am sure, that if the distinguished judge who presides in the Queen's Bench—a judge remarkable for his knowledge of law, and for the admirable manner i n w hich he applies it —had been consulted, he would have deferred to the judg ment .3f my noble and learned friend on the woolsack. I owe his explanation to the learned judge, Mr. Justice Blackburn—and I owe it to my noble and learned friend, thon.sh I know he can always take good care of himself. (A 1 augh.) I am one of those who think it of great im- Pee Lance that the public should not entertain any doubt or an 1 jealousy with respect to appointments to the judicial ,each. (H ear , h ear .) I hope my noble and learned friend will allow me to take this opportunity of congratulating him on his elevation —on his having attained everything that he bas ever looked for. (A laugh.) We may say of him in the words of the poet, "Thou hast it now, King, Cawdor, Glamis, all, As the weird sisters promised." (Hear, hear.) Without being a countryman of my noble and learned friend, I had a species of second sight as to his advancement. (Laughter.) The LORD CHANCELLQR—I should not have taken any notice of this question, "Who is Mr. Blackbuin?" had not my noble and learned friend thought fit to put the question and answer it. I knew nothing of Mr. Blackburn, except what I knew from having seen him practise in the court over which I presided. I have no private intimacy, and I declare, on my word of honour, I don't know of what aide he is in politics. (Hear.) But I have known him as a sound, good, and able lawyer ; one of the ablest in. West minster Hall. My only object was to appoint the perron who I thought would best discharge the duties of a judge in the Court of Queen's Bench. It is said that he had not a silk gown, but in former times that was never held to be a test of fitness for the judicial bench. Lord Tenterden never had a silk gown, and a noble and learned friend of mine, who was one of the most distinguished judges that ever presided at Westminster Hall, had not a silk gown. I am convinced that the more Mr. Justice Blackburn's qualities and abilities become known the more will his appointment be approved. (Hear, hear.) Lord WENSLEYDALE said he had been very much astonished by the remarks made on the appointment of Mr. Justice Blackburn by the public journals. There was not an abler man at the bar than Mr. Blackburn, and a better selection could not have been made. It was of considerable i m portance that the puisne judges should be appointed without any reference to politics, and he hoped this course would always be persevered in. Lord CRANWORTH said it was absurd to think that because a man had not a silk gown he was not fit for the bench. Mr. Justice Willes, whom he had appointed, never had a silk gown, and no complaint had ever been made of his appointment on that account. THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH. On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY hoped that the mea sure would not be brought forward in the way it was . done last session. The objects of the bill were very extensive and important, and as it would occasion the expenditure of a large sum of money, therefore it ought not to be treated as a private bill. The course he thought ought to be adopted was that the bill should be presented and laid upon the table in order that it might be considered as a public measure. After a few observations from Earl GRANVILLE and the Earl of Danny, who defended the course pursued by the late Government, The bill was read a third time and passed. VOLUNTEER CORPS. Lord VIVIAN wished to ask the noble lord the Under- Secretary for War the intention of her Majesty's Government with respect to volunteer corps. Whether they intended to adopt the views of the late Admi nistration, and whether they were disposed to supply a suffi cient quantity of arms for practice. He thought it his duty as a lord lieutenant of a county to ask the question. The g. arl of RIPON said ho was glad the ques tion had been asked, as it would give him an opportunity of explaining the views of the Government on a subject which was exciting so much interest. The late Government had issued two circulars—the first advising the formation of volunteer rifle corps, in accordance with the existing regulations, by which all expenses had to be paid by the volunteers themselves. The second con tained very salutary advice. In consequence of the Government circular, 12 companies were formed. This was the position when the present Government came into office, and the question with them was, whether anything more than "rifle clubs" would be formed. Wishing to establish volunteering on a larger basis, her Majesty's Government had determined to supply 25 stand of arms to every 100 men. There would of course be certain conditions, namely, that a safe practice-ground should be provided, and a competent officer would be sent down to inspect the spot, which must not be less than 300 yards in length. A suitable place must also be provided for the safe keeping of the arms sent out by Government. It was also intended to provide at Hythe for the instruction - of a certain number of the staff of the disembodied militia. The Commander-in-Chief had also decided to enable the officers of the corps to go through a modified course of in struction of this kind. This remark, of course, only ap s plied to rifle corps, but much good was hoped by the Government from the Volunteer Artillery Corps. (Hear, hear.) It was very necessary to proceed with the greatest precaution in a matter of this kind, but the Go vernment felt fully sensible of the patriotism that had actuated all those who had come forward and tendered their services to the country. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH approved of what had fallen from the noble lord. It was, however, true that the movement had been taken up in towns where footpaths would cross the practice ground. He should like to know whether it would not be possible to stop up the footpaths during practice. The Earl of RIPON did not think such would be pos sible, but the best precaution, it was certain, would be taken to prevent accident. Lord HOWDEN, with reference to the word "invasion," said it was understood differently on the two sides of the Channel. He was satisfied that there was no sane Frenchman who thought of invading England for the Purpose of conquering it, any more than there was a eerie Englishman who thought of his being conquered, But of this he was sure, that it was the constant thought of every Frenchman to humble this country and deprive her of the position she held among the nations. A despatch, written from a miserable fishing village, with a population of six fishermen and a ploughboy, penned cleverly, after a forlorn hope had entered there, and describing the French Eagle as dying freely from Acton to Ealing, would be enough to set all France in a fever of excitement. Such a thing was not to be deemed impossible. He heard it said by many, in 1830 and 1848, that there would be no revela tion in France, but they knew what had been the result, and it reminded him of what the philettophers of the French Encyclopedia said of Christianity at the end of the last century—that it was a beautiful invention, but that it had performed its task. Its mission was done, and, as they said, "As.'on temps est fait." Every English Government should remember that there was no other project that would se completely cement all ranks and sections of French society into a whole, as that of a war with England. For it the widow would sacrifice her last son, and the beggar his last 302 f. The Earl of HARDWICKE said that the objection to granting these rifles was, that it tended to arm a class of men: whom they wished to get into the militia and the line. With respect to the • arms to be provided, his noble friend had; no doubt, informed himself of the state of the arms of the country, and, if so, he could only say that he had made large promises. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said if the noble earl bad only looked into the matter, he would not have been appre hensive of such consequences as those which he had anticipated would result from the course adopted by the present Government. By granting sufficient arms for P rae ttee t a number of expenses were still left for accoutre r°ellfa and p ti ee -ground. which would prevent the class who enlisted into the line and the militia from entering these. "'el*. Another object in issuing these arms was that they had cus tody of them, thereby a right to insist on the proper than if they were the th e y would be taken better care of ere the property of the individuals. They would secure a l so that they ever should be wanted, they would be found, and fole s d in an efficient state, and not in that state in whi c h would be likely to ) delicate an instrument as a good rifle be, left at the residences of the indi viduals and exposed to a y ery The Earl of DERBY casualty. thinking that the proposed "T " 4 like/710 interfere with the agreed for h the noble duke in the militia, because the men who joined the e triflehercot wouldhr e s notl w i n o e u b li belong to an altogether superior chess. He did not,there fore, object to the course which the GO „ Ito u t o t a k e i n thus going somewhat beyond the -e h t late Ministry, provided they had satisfied thßeem of the tended they would not be unduly encroaching scheme that the ee so v ee v of rifles for the regular service, in fulfilling the 0 b1i;.• 44 1 - r o n;fl o e n l Enfield they had taken upon themselves. The supply o f rifles for the use of the army, whether by the effort, ' trade or of the Government factory. appeared to the late Government insufficient to warrant them in otherwise de,. posing. of any considerable proporCon of these arm s , and upon those grounds it was that they had not thought it • expedient to provide these corps with rifles. If the present Government had satisfied themselves that there was an abundance of rifles, and if they thought they could without inconvenience meet the demands of the volunteer corps, h e had not a word to say against such an arrangement ; but the late Government had come to a different conclusion. The Duke of NEWCASTLE replied that the question mooted by the noble earl had been carefully considered by the Seeretarrfor War who had satisfied himself that from the number of rifles now in store, and coming in weekly, ample means would be provided for meeting the wants of the volunteer corps. (Hear.) Lord , SANDWICH suggested that the disembodied offi cers of militia should be supplied with the Enfield rifle, so as to be the better qualified to. instruct the volunteer corps. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked whether the Government intended to embody the Irish militia, and said that attention ought to be directed to the use of the arms of those regiments, which were usually found in the very worst condition. In reply to the Earl of AIRLIF4' The Earl of RIPON said he though.the had stated that. Government did not intend to supply these corps with any musketry instruction at the public expense ; but the illus trious duke (of Cambridge) had made arrangements which would enable the volunteer officers, if they thought fit, to go through a modified c ourse o f instruction at Hythe. With regard to the embodiment o f I r i s h m ilitia, that was a ques tion which he was not prepared to answer without notice. THE NAVY ESTIMATES. Lord BROUGHAM rose to ask a question as to the truth of a report of a proposed reduction in the navy estimates. The noble and learned lord, who was very imperfectly beard, began by referring to the dreadful slaughter now going on in Italy', a*d remarked that whoever might be the guilty Flfea ) ar whateTer alight be the motives which actuated Ali' R iltilaigAte4 k tigtst 19r yßia. glory or by calculations of policy, whether they were pos sessed with a jealousy of free institutions or inflamed with a lust of conquest—they were justly chargeable with the enormous crime of making the rivers orlfalY 0 flo, and dying her soil with the blood of innocent men. He w ished, however, to be just to France. She was to gain nothing by the present war, for he verily believed that the French people would only have to pay the expense without re ceiving the profits, and the crop which had been raised by their blood they would not be allowed to reap. Nor would the Italian people derive any benefit from the horrible car nageof which the plains of Lombardy were now the scene. He ardently wished to see the cessation of the oppression to which that race had been long exposed, but when he con sidered the kind of policy which seemed now to prevail he was thrown back in recollection to very evil times, and was reminded of that wholesale dealing in revolt and insurrec tion which distinguished the National Convention of France in 1792. The celebrated decree of the 15th of February, 1792, if it did not actually commence, at least extended and continued a fearful war for upwards of 20 years, offering to any people that chose to revolt against their rulers not only the right hand of fellowship but the assistance of the Re publican armies, which were positively instructed to protect the rebels of every country from the punishment which they had incurred. At the present day it was not by decrees that similar objects were attained, but by deeds and acts still more significant nations were encouraged to revolt, and assistance was now promised to the people of the north of Italy, now to the Hungarians, now to the inhabitants of the Duchies, and now to the subjects of the Pope himself. It was singular how the very language of 1792-3-4 had been adopted in recent manifestoes, It did not speak of France, but when the ally of France was endeavouring to make war, and encouraging by every means a warlike spirit, he saw with no little horror in the Governmentpress such language as the following :—" War, it is true, is an evil • but there are many evils in this lower world, and national indepen dence, the freedom of oppressed peoples, is a tree which re quires to be manured with a sufficient number of human corpses!' Sueh were the very words of that execrable crew the Committee of Public Safety. One of the most distin guished of their leaders, St. Just, a colleague of Robes pierre, declared that liberty required to be founded upon mountains of corpses—" sur des moptagnes de eadavt es." He had hoped that Europe had seen the last of wars waged in the name of liberty,liberty,but, .unhappily, he had lived to see a slaughter so horrible in its extent and consequences that the mind rec oiled from its contemplation. The war , it might be said, had gone too far to be stopped, but he trusted that England would interfere at the very earliest moment with a view to the restoration of peace, and that, too, without even asking who was to blame. It was to be hoped that the losing party would perceive that by persisting in an unequal contest she might only lose the more. It was greatly to be dreaded that Germany might be induced to take part in the struggle. There could be no doubt there existed already too much disposition to break the peace in that quarter : and if the sword were once drawn there, no man could tell to what extent the war might go, or how it might end. There was no actual attack threatened aphis:, Germany ; the danger was only one of a possibility ; and it was there fore earnestly to be desired that every effort might be made to keep Prussia from engaging in hostilities, and to prevent the greatest of all calamities, a universal war. In France he believed that all persons of education, of property, and respectability were still averse from this war, and lamented that it should have broken out. The multitude, armed and unarmed, might indeed have their heads turned by tempo rary success, just as they would, on the other hand, be the first to be cast down by any reverse of fortune ; but they . were not those to whom we must look for sound public opinion. He equally believed that there could be no such unpopular movement on the part of the French Government as a quarrel or a breach with this country. But was that any reason why we should not be prepared ? Quite the contrary. We might say to France, " We don't distrust you ; we don't believe that you will do us any wrong ; we rely on your professions and your promises. Nevertheless, common prudence requires that we should guard against every possibility, and possible danger may arise from a change m your Government, for no one can tell what might be the disposition of your military classes!' Let us, therefore, be prepared by land and by sea. Above all, let us be prepared by sea. He hoped and trusted that he should have a satisfactory answer to his question from the noble duke opposite, and that it would be authorita tively declared that there was no foundation whatever for the report as to the navy estimates being lowered. Instead of the preparations of the late Government being lessened, he would rather that they might be extended, so as to render an attempt upon our shores, happen what might, absolutely impossible. There was the widest difference con ceivable between a constitutional Government, with a free Parliament and a free press, and Governments such as those of the two allies, France and Russia, where every expression of public op inion was stifled. His belief was that had there been a the Government in France this lamentable war in Italy would have been utterly impossible. It arose froth there having been no legitimate vent for that public opinion which was at first quite unanimous against war, although when hostilities had been actually declared a certain change took place. Under these circumstances, and having regard to the naval force of France and Russia, it was our bounden duty to make it absolutely impossible that the Channel should be commanded even by the united fleets of those two Powers. (Cheers.) The Duke of SOMERSET (who spoke in so low a tone as to be very indistinctly heard in the gallery), was understood to say that he would not attempt to follow the noble and learned lord through many of the observations which he had offered to the house, but would confine himself to giving an answer to the question that had been put to him. In doing so he would lay before their lordships such informa tion as he possessed respecting the progress which had been made in the reconstruction of our navy ; and here he felt he had, perhaps, to defend the late Government rather than the present. He had seen with great surprise a statement that he had commenced the duties of his office by reducing the navy estimates and striking off he knew not how many of the dockyard workmen. What really happened was, that on the 11th of April last, the Board of ,Admiralty being properly desirous of expediting 'the works in pro gress in the dockyards ordered that the men should be em ployed during extra hours. At a later period, however, fur ther works being necessary, on the sth of May they or dered more men to be taken on, such a measure being quite right in point of economy, and one which he was quite ready to defend. Much had been said as to the mode in which the navy had been managed, for many years past. It had been his lot when a member of the House of Com mons to spend a whole summer in going carefully through the navy estimates, and, having had before him all the , Persons who had been connected with the service for a long time previous, he had been enabled to collect some infor mation on the subject. Reverting to the period between 1830 and 1840 no doubt those were years of a reduced ex , penditure upon the navy . ; but the economy then practised, st , far itnin giving occasion for regret, was in fact matter for present congratulation, because a larger outlay in those days would have been entirely wasted, the class of vessels then built being ill adapted for existing exigencies, so.that if a greater number of them had been launched they would now have been useless. Then came the period of steamships, but of steamships with paddles, when the Admiralty again set to work and produced a number of vessels of that class. But before many years had elapsed the screw propeller was introduced, superseding the use of the paddle. If, therefore, they had gone on building steamers fitted with paddles, they would have been found unsuited to modern requirements. In 1847, the year before the inquiry was made before a committee, we had not a single ship of the line fitted with the screw. In January, 1853, however, we had as many as 15 vessels with the screw. Since that time the work has been going on with consider able industry, for a return made up to the Ist of January of the present year showed that the number of such vessels had increased from 17 in the year 1853 to as many as 50 in 1859. Since the beginning of this year there had been a further augmentation to 56. The force had therefore been continually , increasing, and that increase had, he need not say, been attended with a very large expenditure. The late Board of Admiralty had also ordered the construction of a powerful vessel of large tonnage to be coated with iron. In going into this question it wasnot only necessary that large estimates should be taken, but that the difficulties of pro perly adjusting the expenditure should be well considered. If he wished to produce a number of vessels on paper there was no doubt that the best course would be to convert ex isting vessels into screw line-of-battle ships ; but the vessels so produced would be comparatively inefficient. There was also the question of manning, which would be attended with very considerable expense. There was an expenditure for an immediate purpose—the expenditure in obtaining men who were to be at once available-- , and then there was the large expenditure consequent upon bringing up boys for the naval service. No doubt, much of the expense would be so much money wasted, but still it was justifiable on the ground of precaution. That was the view he had taken with regard to the future position of the navy ; and he could assure the house that, both with regard to providing ships and the men for manning them, the present Board of Admiralty were as anxious to. do their duty as th e l a t e Board, and to pursue a c ou rse which would place the mari time defences of the country in a satisfactory position . (Hear, hear.) The Earl of HARDWICKE said he cordially joined in the sentiment expressed by the noble duke that the great object to be achieved was the raising the maritime defences of the country to a pitch of efficiency which would preclude all apprehensions of invasion. He held that it was the duty of the Government to render the navy of England suffi ciently powerful not only to maintain the British Channel as the British Channel, but to enable us- 4o insist that the boundaries of this country in that direction , should be the low water mark on the French shore. (Hear, hear.) Tliey might talk of the militia, rifle corps, and all the rest of it, but if there was a chance of a fleet of men-of-war appearing off the English coast, such would be the feeling which it would produce in the country that far more pecuniary suf fering would be occasioned than any that the noble duke could cause by any measures he might take for placing the naval defences on a satisfactory footing. He might be per mitted to refer to the condition of the French navy during the last war, and to the manner in which that navy sur mounted the difficullies it had to encounter. In 1794 the French had 771ine-of battle ships and 176 frigates. In 1812, having suffered defeat at Trafalgar, and having sustained ,severe blows at various other times, their line-of-battle ship s ' lB 4 risen to 113, and their frigates to 272. (Hear.) So that, even then, in the face of such disasters , their power of pro duction was such as to give us ample warning of the achieve ments in that respect, of which the means and energies of the French capa ble. In 1853 the first screw s hi ps of people were were constructed in this country trade w fremely i 1857 the state of the British navy was ei of the line, a the late rre galar Down to the close of 18.57 , just before _Government took office, we had a fleet of 2.5 sail sail of the line. they continued ' and during the interval of 411 days, in which plification of thellVower, they increased the navy to 5() could assure the Productive powers of this country, he conversation and astoniske (Rear, ha lle d ar.) And that practical exem plification would venture to n been the frequent theme of ent on the other side of the water. he was rapidly augment in g to the noble duke that while he should turn his attention (Hoer, hear.) That class of vessels, :ie strength of the naval force o the condition of our frigates, of water, it was well known wer e being of of war in'enabling a belligerent e th er t fernely useful in time a light draught w ln as ki ag ls w th ell is " cout r tr p y ll Wad ose s s o s s w e l a s said always on one ofm ac: y nav:Y3°l4 l l f e dw r l i ch ga oeinre te ra s ilis , t 7 il an eaen d their o lordships would remember that Lord placed the greatest reliance on that class or _.r for with one occasion he believed that after he w ll l s s v h d e ead the word frigates the "frigates" would be found engraven on out them he could neither see nor hear . French were still superior to us. The questi o n of was of comparatively little importance, an d he ta tt rQ ed °ll O ,, e Y noble duke would only take into consideration how h e could best use the power of production at his dispo sa l, and ho w could most e ffi ciently obtain men for the ships when ant. In the evidence laid before the Commissioners for Manning the Navy, it appeared to be the opinion of the chief authori. ties that in the event of hostilities it was of the greatest im ortance that this country should have three fleets—one of 30 oil of Os la 40 cluivl, no et 20. og SU lino THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1859, in the Mediterranean, and another of 20 sail of the line in the North Sea, with frigates and light vessels in proportion. There could be no safety to the country unless the navy were raised to that extent. Then there were the demands of our foreign and colonial stations to be supplied, so that altoge ther, according to the best authorities, we ought not to be content with less than 80 sail of the line and a proportionate number of frigates and light vessels. This might seem a large force to be under the necessity of keeping up, but it must be remembered that is, 1815 we had 244 sail of the line, and that now we had only 46, which were not all ready for sea. All the points relating to the subject of manning the navy were dealt with in the re port of the commissioners. It might be objected to that report that it was somewhat speculative, and no doubt it was open to that objection„ because, in the first place, it was not certain that the number of men necessary to form a reserved volunteer corps could be got • nor when they were got, and their names entered on the boots, was it cer tain that they would always be forthcoming when wanted. A great number of shipmasters had been consulted by the commissioners on this question, and they were all of opi nion that a retaining fee would be likely to induce a num ber of men to come forward and enter themselves, and they thought that this plan, if limited in a certain way—giving the fee only to men engaged in short voyages—would be sure to answer. The late Government had placed the mat ter on such a footing as would in a few years, if the present Government carried out their views earnestly, place the country in a most satisfactory position in regard to manning the navy. There would be an absolute certainty of obtaining men when they were needed, and great expenses would be saved by doing away with the necessity of keeping up large establishments when there was ne use for them. (Hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—I heard with great satisfaction what fell from the noble duke opposite with respect to the intentions of the present Government on: the important subject of the navy, but it was no more than I expected, because I bore in mind what fell from Lord Palmerston two or three years ago, in the course of a dis cussion on the navy in the other house. The noble lord said he thought the navy of this country ought to be equal to contend not only with the navy of France, but also with the navy of any other great maritime Power united with France—(hear)—and I think it is impossible that under the present circumstances of the country, which are much graver than any which existed at that time, or indeed, in my opinion, at any time during the last half century, Lord Palmerston could in the slightest degree have changed that opinion. If that be the object which we have in view the noble duke must feel that he is only in a state of progress, and that he has a great deal to do. (Hear, hear.) I be lieve I might venture to go as far as my noble and gal lant friend who spoke last, and say that no force of line-of battle ships less than 70 would be sufficient for the protec tion of our maritime interests. I would not distribute them as he proposes to do, but that number we ought to have. (Hear.) We ought to have, also, a proportion of smaller vessels for the protection of our trade, for it must be recol lected that however equal our navy may be with the navies of France and Russia, the detachments we are compelled to send out for the protection of our colonies and our trade, extending all over the world, are so great that the force re maining for the defence of our own country is by no means so great as we should expect. But I rose principally to en deavour to impress upon your lordships and the country the truth which I feelmost deeply, that no extent of increased efficiency which you can give to your navy can now, under the changed circumstances of navigation, give you an effec tual protection against invasion, if an enemy be determined to invade you. The advantage which an enemy derives from the possession of forts like Brest and Cherbourg, and from the improvements in steam navigation, are so peat that, at least during six months in the year, he may land 60,000 or 80,000 men upon any beach on the south coast of England. But recollect that the great ad vantage of a powerful and superior fleet is, that, though a force may be landed it losses its communications. (Hear.) The late Napoleon said, and I have no doubt the present Emperor has seen reason to adopt the maxim, that the science of war consists in the science of communication. If that be so, no prudent general would land a force in this country unless he had a reason able_expectation of always being able to preserve a commu nicnion with the country from which that force had come. And this leads me to offer a suggestion for the immediate consideration of the noble duke, which is this—that no time whatever should be lost in protecting all the ports and all the roads in which it would be possible for an enemy to place a fleet with any degree of security, and where he might form a tete du pont that would assist his future operations. I trust he will lose no time in placing at every one of these points— and I particularly recommend to his notice the port of Port land—some one fort atleast, capable of sustaining a siege of a week or a fortnight, so that it would be impossible for as enemy to hold that position with a fleet to assist his opera tions. I refer to the new _port of Portland, that port which the late French Ambassador went down to reconnoitre,and which he took the trouble of visiting at the end of last sum mer in order to see the particular advantage it possessed. I trust that whenever that respectable gentleman goes to that port again he will find it in a better position than it is now. (A laugh.) Now, my lords, whatever you do with respect to the navy, it is impossible to neglect your army— that military strength by which at last must be defended everything we value. The noble duke is right to extend the force of the navy. It is a security for our interest and honour, and it may be productive of great advantages in carrying on our defences. But of itself our navy is not sufficient, and unless you determine to establish on a per manent and secure basis the future military defences of this country, I feel confident that, considering the passions that animate persona on the Continent who are hostile to us, considering the vast power at their disposal and the reasons for running the risk of invasion, I can speak with perfect assurance, and to my own mind almost in the language of iropheey, that the attempt will be made. It will not be made urmg this war. What we have to apprehend is when this war has terminated—when France has broken the military strength of Austria,—when she has terrified the other Powers of the Continent—when there is a close connection and understanding with Russia—when she has the opportu nity of bringing a disciplined and victorious army—for they will consider themselves certain of success, to realize the last project of the Emperor Napoleon 1., all -whose projects the present Emperor has boasted it is his fate to accomplish. I cannot close these few observations without expressing my conviction that if we do not take advantage of this respite of time—of the advantage given us by the war France is en gaged in—we shall imperil everything that every man in this country values—its independence, its honour, and its constitution. (Hear, hear.) CHURCH RATES. Lord PORTMAN said t h at in the a bsence of the right rev. prelates he would postpone until an early day the ob servati•ns he had intended to make in calling the attention of their lordships to the present state of the law of church rates.

THE NEW TARIFF FOR INDIA. Lord DUNCAN gavo potice that on Monday next he would move for a copy of the new tariff for India, and any correspondence that had taken place with the Government relative thereto. VOLUNTEER CORPS. Sir J. SHELLEY asked the Secretary of State for War whether her Majesty's Government adopted the views of the late Administration with respect to volunteer corps, or whether they would be disposed to supply a sufficient quan tity of arms for practice ? Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT said that the Government had taken into consideration the different offers made by various parties with reference to the formation of volunteer corps, and were highly gratified by the public spirit dis played on this subject. The Government had consented to accept their services on certain conditions, namely, that there should be selected in all cases a ground of sufficient range for practice, which should be examined by competent officers ; that their arms should be placed in safe custody ; and that the corps should be under practical military disci pline. The Government proposed to furnish arms to 25 per cent. of the corps. SEWAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. J. LOCKE asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the Metropolitan Board had commenced the con-, struction of low level sewers, for the purpose of preventing the sewage of the metropolis from passing into the river Thames • or whether, on the contrary, they were merely proceeding with high level sewers, in order to divert the water from brooks and rivulets, and also the rain water, from passing into the river through the present sewers ? Mr. FITZROY said the works in question belonged not to his department, but to the Board of Works, who had been invested with full power in reference to the matter last session. However, he had communicated with the chair man of that board, who stated to him that the works were proceeding. CONFISCATION IN DUDE.; Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India, whether the proclamation confiscating the soil of Oude to the Crown was being acted upon, so that, while the rights of the talookdars have been restored in many instances, those of the peasants were considered to be forfeited. Sir C. WOOD, who was very indistinctly heard, was un derstowl to say that only a few of the estates had been for feited, and not the estates of those talookdars who had pre served their allegiance. THE MILITARY COMMISSIONERS TO THE ALLIED AND AUSTRIAN ARMIES. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, why a return, ordered on the 9th of June, relative to the Military Commissioners sent to the head quarters of the French, Sardinian, and Austrian armies, had not been presented ; and whether there was any ob jection to lay upon the table the reports made by those officers up to the present time ? Lord J. RUSSELL considered that it would be highly objectionable to produce the return in question. MANNING THE NAVY. Sir J. pAKINGTON asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty whether it was tho intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to bring in any bill during the present session with the view of carrying into effect the recommendations of the Rual Commission on manning the navy ? Li OLARZIWA PAC= paid that it woo iaot tea. minable to ask the Government the present question, con sidering that they had only justOi4ered on their duties. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSTON moved that upon Thursday, the 14th inst., and every succeeding Thursday during the pre sent session, Government orders of the day should have precedence of notices of motion. He hoped there would be no objection to his motion, as it was made at a later period of the session than was usual. He also suggested that when there was not 'private business to occupy the house till half-past 4 o'clock, that public busi ness should be proceeded with at a quarter past 4 o'clock. —Agreed to. MR. CHARLES GILPIN. On the motion for the adjournment of the house ti'l Monday, Mr. STANLEY called the attention of the house to the statement made by Mr. Dennis at a public meeting of the electors of Northampton, that an offer had been made to Mr. Gilpin by the agents of the late Government to influ ence his vote in Parliament ; and called upon the Secretary of the Poor Law Board to communicate the letters referred to by him, with the name of the person from whom they originated. Since he had last addressed them he did not think anything had occurred that would justify their calling to the bar of the house the editor and printer of the Times. (Hear, hear.) He had written to Mr. Dennis, who con firmed the statement attributed to him in the public news papers, with the exception of the question of the nature of the bribe offered to him, which was that of an appointment and not of a pecuniary character, and some other immaterial alterations. Having read an article which appeared in a local paper to the effect that the offer in ques tion was made through the medium of a lady with whom Mr. Gilpin became acquainted at a watering place, he con cluded by calling on the hon. member to give up the name of the writer. Mr. GILPIN said when this subject was brought forward first, he was asked a question as to a statement which he never made, and a speech he had never made. He stated at the time he could not trace the letter to the agents of the Conservitive party. (Hear, hear.) It was not the first time that ladies connected with a political party had, without authority, exercised themselves in canvassing mem bers and constituencies, but the matter appeared to him so ridiculous that he could not have believed that any mem ber of that house would ask him to give up the name of a lady, and he felt surprised that a gentleman should ask a question which no gentleman could answer. Mr. STANLEY rose to order, as he considered such lan guage not Parliamentary. Mr. GILPIN said that what he intended to state was, that he was surprised that an honourable member, who was certainly a gentleman, should have asked him a question which a gentleman should not. (Laughter.) He should have been happy, if the house wished it, to give full information as to the con tents of the two letters he had received ; but he would tell them respectfully, but, at the same time, emphatically, that if he was required to give up the name of the lady that he would not do so. (Hear, hear.) After some further conversation, the question dropped. THE INDIA LOAN. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the late Secretary of State for India whether he was aware, when he proceeded on Thurs day, the 21st day of April last, to receive and adju dicate upon the tenders invited to be sent in for the Indian loan, of the fact that the Austrian ulti matum to Sardinia had been wade known to her Majesty's Government on the previous evening by a tele gram from Vienna, and also by a written communication from his Excellency the French Ambassador to the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs. Lord STANLEY said nothing could be fairer than the manner in which the question had been put by the hon. member for London. It was a question which he could have answered on the previous evening, when notice of it was given, but he thought that probably the hon. member would wish to accompany it by some remarks. It was not the fact that either he or any other person connected with the negotiations for the loan or with the Indian Department was cognisant of the news to which the hon. member referred at the time when the tenders for the loan were received. He did not know at what hour of the night or of the morning the intelligence in question was received by his noble friend Lord Malmesbury but the intelligence in question was not received by him (Lord Stanley) up to 4 o'clock iu the after noon-of the 21st April, and the tenders for the loan were finally adjudicated upon between 12 and 1 o'clock. (Hear, hear.) A considerable time elapsed between the period when the then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs received this intelligence and the time when it became known to the In dian Department, but the fact was that immediately on re ceiving it his noble friend proceeded, as was natural, to, summon a Cabinet Council, in order that deliberations might take place upon it ; and it so happened that Lord Derby was in attendance on the Queen at Windsor, so that the Cabinet Council could not be held up to 4 o'clock inthe afternoon. The first intimation he (Lord Stanley) received of the intelligence was at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, which was between three and four hours after the time when the transaction connected with the loan took place. (Hear.) Mr. CRAWFORD said that the noble lord's explanation would be considered satisfactory. ROMAN CATHOLIC SEAMEN. _ _ _ -- - Mr. HENNESSEY asked the late First Lord of the Ad miralty what steps the late Board of Admiralty had taken with reference to the complaints whichhad been submitted to the. Board respecting the treatment of Roman Catholic sailors in the Royal Navy ? Sir J. PAKINGTON had no objection to answer the question, and he hoped what he was about to state would not bring him under the animadversion of the hon. member for Beaumaris. The facts were briefly these.--A memorial was sent to Lord Derby complaining on the part of the Ro man Catholic body that Roman Catholic sailors were sub jected to certain disadirantages in respect to their religious worship. Lord Derby sent the memorial to him, requesting his opinion on it, whereupon he wrote a letter to Lord Derby stating the views he entertained with respect to the different matters contained in the memorial, which were drawn up under a series of headings, to the number, he be lieved, of about 11. He was entirely of opinion that every fair and reasonable claim on the part of the Roman Catholic sailors with respect to the exercise of their religion ought to :be conceded ; and more especially that that should be removed which formed one of the main points of their complaint—namely, that Ronan Catholic sailors were not allowed the same advantage with respect to their worship as were conceded to Roman Catholic soldiers ; and he stated distinctly in his letter to Lord Derby that, so far as the different nature of the two services permitted, Roman Catholic soldiers and sailors should be placed on precisely the same footing. He also proceeded to state thathe thought that some of the requests contained in the memorial, which related to matters in respect to which there was a great dif ference between the two services, it would be impossible to concede. Having sent this answer to Lord Derby, he caused a copy of the memorial and his letter to be circulated among his colleagues at the Admiralty Board, who considered them. As a change of Government was impending, it was impossible for him to take any further steps in the matter ; but it was his intention, if he had continued in office, to direct instructions to be issued to concede such portions of the memorial as he thought, in fairness and justice, ought to be conceded. That was the position in which the ques tion now stood, and he had left the papers he had referred to for the consideration of his successor at the Admiralty. WEEDON COMMISSION. Colonel DUNNE asked the Secretary for War whether the report of the commission appointed to inquire into the state of the Ordnance Department at Weedon, &c., had been received ; and, if received, when it would be laid upon the table of the house. Mr. S. HERBERT replied that the report of the com mission appointed to inquire into the transactions at Wee don had not yet been received, but no soon as it had been presented, and the Government had had time for its con sideration, it would be laid upon the table. He had no wish to clash with the hon. and gallant member with regard to the committee for which he (Col. Dunne) intended to move, and he might therefore state that he merely proposed the reappointment of the committee which sat at the end of last session, whose labours hethought it desirable to recommence at as early a period as possible. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES. Mr. E. JAMES asked her Majesty's Attorney-General whether his attention had been called to the large number of causes standing over for hearing in the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Court, and whether it was the inten tion of the Government during the present session to bring in a bill to remedy the inconvenience ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied that the first legal subject to which the attention of the Government had been directed was the state of the Court of Marriage and Divorce. It must, however, be recollected that the arrears which had accumulated in that Court ought not to be regarded as affording anything like an indication of what might be expected to be the ordinary state of business. Many if the suits now pending had originated in circumstances which occurred as long as seven or eight years ago, and an amaz ing amount of business pad been brought before the Court simply in consequence of no tribunal of a similar nature having previously existed. When the bill was before the house he had been exceedingly desirous that the composi tion of the full Court should be enlarged, and, adopting a suggestion of his hon. and learned friend the member for Wallingford (Mr. Malins), he had been willing that the whole of the judges should be competent to form the full Court. That proposition was, however, objected to, and the judges eligible to form the Court were limited to the chief justices and to the senior puisne judges of each Court. A measure would be submitted to Parliament without de lay for the purpose of extending the number of persons eligible to form the full Court, with the view of at once reducing the arrears of causes.. The bill to which he re ferred would also deal with other matters, and would, he hoped, tend materially to. improve the efficiency of the Court. Ho trusted that measure would receive the sanc tion of Parliament during the present session. The motion for the adjournment of the house till Monday was then agreed to. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. DISRAELI said it would,perhaps, be convenient to hon. members if the Government could state what public business they proposed to proceed with next week. Lord PALMERSTON believed that the estimates would be laid upon the table on Monday, and would be proceeded with on Friday. Whether the estimates taken on that day would be those of the army or navy he could not then say. SUPPLY. The report of the committee of supply vas brought up, and an address was agreed to requesting her Majesty to direct that the estimates might be laid before the house. NEWSPAPERS, &c., BILL. The adjourned debate upon the second reading of this bill was resumed by Sir G. C. LEWIS, who'said that ho should make no ob jection to the second reading of the measure, but he must reserve to himself full liberty of discussing its details in committee. One of its provisions abolished the registration of the proprietors of newspapers. That registration was intended for the benefit of persons who might be the sub jects of libellous attacks, and he could not consent to its abolition without further consideration. There were also two acts propesed-to be repealed by this bill which, in his opinion, need not be so dealt with. One was an act indem nifyiat certain persons against penalties incurred under previous acts, and the other an act which abolished the punishment of banishment for a - Second libel. The effect of repealing that act would be to increase the severity of the law with regard to this offence, for which he was not aware that there was any necessity. The bill was then read a second time. JURY TRIAL (SCOTLAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time. CRIMINAL JUSTICE, MIDDLESEX (ASSISTANT JUDGE) BILL. On the motion of Sir G. C. LEWIS, the adjourned debate upon this bill was further adjourned to Monday next. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. J. LOCKE obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the Act 5 and 6 William IV., cap. 63, relating to weights and measures, which he stated would be similar to that which he introduced last year. The bill was afterwards brought in and read a first time. COURT OF PROBATE. ETXZAOX Prod fox bays to bag it; a bill t 9 emblo tho Commissioners of Works to obtain a site for the erection of a Court of Probate and other courts and offices. Agreed to. PUBLIC PETITIONS.

Gray, Mr. Gregson, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Ta verner John Miller, Mr. Abel Smith, Mr. Stanley, Mr. Wise, and Mr. Henry Woods. Three to be a quorum. The house adjourned at 20 minutes past 6 o'clock.

COUNTRY MARKBTB. LIVERPOOL-JULY 1. The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday have been insignificant. From foreign ports we have received 12,106 quarters of wheat, 489 quarters beans, 680 quarters Indian corn, and 6,190 sacks flour. The exports, in the same time, comprise 237 quarters of wheat, 200 qrs barley, 280 qrs malt, 311 qrs Indian corn, 138 loads oatmeal, and 1,285 sacks flour. This morning we had only d small attendance at our corn exchange. The business passing was limited for wheat and flour, although they could have been bought at a decline of 2d per cental and is per sack on Tuesday's rates. Oats and oatmeal a slow sale, without ' alteration in value. Barley, beans, and peas at previous rates. Indian corn met with a good demand for feeding, and inferior samples met a ready sale. WAKEFIELD-JULY 1. The weather during the week has been variable, but on the whole favourable for the growing crops. The quantity of wheat offering to-day is large, and may be quoted at barely late rates, with a slow sale. Barley nominal. Oate and shelling unaltered. Beans steady.
