The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. The meeting of the delegates from various parts of the country took place at the Whittington Club, for the pur• pose of considering the basis of a new measure of reform. W. ye, B. M Poster , .P., Mr. Taylor,m.pMr. M.P., Among those present were Mr. Bazley, M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. Kershaw, M.P., Mr. R. Mills, M.P., Mr. .p Air, Lawson,stanfe M Padmore, M.P., Mr. IL Pease, M.P., Mr. Cox, M.P., and about 100 delegates. • Letters of apology, some of them sici P , Mr. s v containing subscrip • tions, were received from Lord Londesborough, Mr. R. Cobden, M.P., Sir C. Douglas, M.P., Robertson Glad stone, Esq., Mr. Thos. Baines, M P - -.1 Mr. John M'Adam, of Glasgow, Mr. A. Coosham, Mr. B. Miall, Mr. Potter, M.P., and Mr. P. Ryland. Mr. GEORGE WILSON, of Manchester, was called to the chair. In opening the proceedings he commented at some length upon the various measures of reform that had been introduced into Parliament by the various Governments during the last fel , years, and contended that her Majest3 having expressed a wish that a measure of reform should be introduced, it was the duty of the House of Commons to negotiate a measure which should meet with the just expeo• tations of the people. Mr. COOPER followed the chairman. He spoke of the insincerity of the present Parliament. He thought there was not a delegate present but would agree with him that the present administration was composed of overt Tories, stagnant Whigs, and torpid Liberals, headed by a leader who did the work of the Oppcsition. He thought the delegates ought to adopt, as the basis for a new Reform Bill, an exteesion of the suffrage to all males in b)roughs, rated or liable to bo rated for the relief of the poor, to all malet; in counties who occupied land to the extent of £lO a-year, a redistribution of seats, the ballot— (hear, hear) — and shorter Parliaments. (Hear, hear ) Mr. JEFFERY, of Liverpool, said he was of opinion that the members of the present House of Commons were not honest in their endeivours to remedy end improve the aye tem as it existed at present, because the possession of a seat in the house, under present circumstances, was not a ques tion of talent or honesty on the part of the candidate who sought for the honour, but entirely and simply one cf the breeches pocket. He thought that a reduction of the pub • lie expenditure was imperatively necessary, and that the present time was moat opportune for an agitation for such a question ; that a wise and comprehensive measure was absolutely required, as the proportion of those who at presen exercised the franchise was only about lin 7. He objected to so small a number exercising so important a privilege to the exclusion and prejudice of the unrepresented. (blear, hear.) Mr. SARELL, of the London Political Union, objected altogether to a property qualification for the counties, which had been suggested. He was of opinion that registered manhood suffrage was what was urgently required to place the working min in his proper position ; and as to the bal lot, he thought it was of no use at aU to the poor man. The CHAIRMAN said there was at present no arranged plan for their prOeeedings. He therefore called upon all the delegates present to come forward and give expression to their opinions in the most unreserved mintier, in order that the greatest amount of information on the subject which they had met to consider might be elicited. Mr, FRASER, of Edinburgh, said what he thought was required was a huge and comprehensive plan of reform, which should be acceptable to the working man and worthy of the support of the middle class. He was in favour of the basis that had been thrown out by Mr. Cooper, although he was prepared to go a step further. Mr. BAINES, M.P., said the object of the Cohforence had his earnest sympathy. That object was to obtain such a large extension of the suffrage as would give the working class the privilege of giving a vote for those who made their laws. He thought that if they were to attempt to define any particular measure, they could not remain a united body. He thought the wisest course for them to adopt *as to leave every portion of the country to petition for that plan of reform which.they approved, and he would there fore advise those present to seek for organised action be tween the middle and the working classes, so that they might be in a position, at the commencement of the next session, to submit a more condensed and comprehensive reform bill to Parliament. Mr. WASHINGTON Winks thought that if the present movement was to result in a success, they must inscribe on their banner manhood suffrage—a vote for every man; and every man wbo had not a vote would re echo the cry, and resistance to such a demand would be futile and useless. Mr. TAYLOR, M.P., E•ai( l . Le was an advocate for univer sal suffrage; but he thought that at present they ought to be content with as much as they could get. What was wanted in the first instance was to get the thin end of the wedge in the House of Commons, and if they could get 30 or 40 mere sincere adv cates in the House of Commons there would be some chance of success. Out of doors he counselled them to rale() the standard of absolute right and universal suffrage, and then leave to others to say how much of the demand they would concede. Mr. LIICRAFT was in favour of manhood suffrage, being the rallying cry for a new Reform Bill. Mr. M'Enn, of Liverpool, thought they ought to enlarge even manhood suffrage. In addition to that vote, he con sidered that a second vote ought to be given for property s ituate within the borough or county in which it is situate, and a third vote lie thought ought to be conferred for con tributions to the State in shape of taxes. After a few words from Mr. WHITRIIRST, of the Ballot Society. A discussion took place upon thq appointment of a busi ness committee, to draw up resolutions for the acceptance of the delegates, but before the proposition was disposed of the mid-day adjournment took place.

TREATY WITH AMERICA. Earl RUSSELL laid on the table a copy of the treaty lately entered into between her Majesty's Government and the United States of America for th 3 suppression of the slave trade. The treaty gave a mutual right of search and other extensive powers for the carrying out of its provisions. The American Government had been most active in preventing the fitting out of slave cruisers at New York, and one captain of a slave ship had already suffered capital punishment. He trusted that the treaty would have the effect of entirely suppressing the nefarious traffic.. ?'he Bishop of OXFORD expressed his great gratifica at the announcement of the noble earl. He felt the tre,tty was the one step in the right direction that was wanting to make all the efforts this country had made for the suppres sion of that horrid traffic successful. All that was wanted was that the flag of the United States should not be allowed to cover and protect vessels in the slave trade. Earl STANHOPE felt great pleasure at the announce ment which had just been made. He should like to know whether the treaty was for an indefinite period or for a term of years. _ Earl RUSSELL said the treaty was for ten years, but it could be renewed. Earl GREY was rejoiced at the completion of the treaty. He thought in the present deart.i of cotton efforts should be made for its cultivation in Africa. ELE,JTRIC TELEGRAPHS PETITIONS Several petitions were presented in favour of a reduction of the national expenditure, for an improvement in the mode of registering deeds in Ireland, against the employ ment of the constabulary in Ireland in registering births and deaths, and in favour of the Industrial and Provident societies Bill, &c. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. On the motion of Mr. POLLARD-URQUIIART, leave of absence for a month was granted to Sir R. Levinge, on the ground of domestic affliction. OUR MILITA ttY EXPENDITURE. Sir R. CLIFTON gave notice that on Friday next he would draw the attention of the house to the large expen• diture in military defences, and move for the productLn of papers relative to the French armaments. FOREIGN PAPER IMPORTED INTO THIS COUNTRY. _ _ Mr. TURNER asked the President of the Board of Trade why the trade and navigation returns did not include the quantities of foreign manufactured paper imported into this country, as well as the quantities of British manufactured paper exported, and the q iantities of rags, &c., for making paper imported. And whether he had any objection to fur nish a return of the quantity of foreign paper of all kinds imported each month since the abolition of the import duty, up to the end of April last. Mr. M. GI BSON, who was imperfectly heard, was understood to say that be had no objection to lay the papers in question on the table. Mr. A. TURNER then gave notice that he would move for these returns. ST. STEPHEN'S HALL. Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the First Commissioner of Works in vi hat state the crypt of St. Stephen's Hall now was, and whether there was any prospect of its being used for Divine service ? Mr. COWPER said that the crypt would be finished early next year, but he could not state whether there was any prospect of its being used fort ivine service. EUROPEAN TROOPS.—INDIA. Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for India, if he would lay upon the table of the house a copy of any correspondence with the Government of India, re • toting to the number and expenses of the European troops now doing duty in India. Sir C. WOOD said that he would have no objection to produce the correspondence, if the hon. member would give notice of motion that it should be laid on the table. THE ALLEGED ATTACK ON HERAT. In reply to Sir M. I. ARQUHAR, Sir. C. WOOD said that he had received information from India, to the effect that there was no foundation tor the report relative to the attack on Herat. BRITISH AND FRENCH FISHING BOATS. Mr. BENTINCK moved an address for a return of all British and French fishing boats which had been cap • tured during the last 10 years for the infringement of the convention of 1843, and of the punish ments inflicted in both countries in those cases ; and, copy of all correspondence which has passed on the subject of such captures and punishments between the Britieh and French Governments. He drew the attention of the house to the importance of the class to whose grievances he adverted in supplying our mercantile and naval marine; he said that the 'french authorities acted in the letter and not in the spirit of the convention of 1843, by inflicting several penalties on the fis;;;.'rmen of this country con victed of infringing the law. Mr. CAVE seconded the motion. Mr. LAYARD said that their fishermen ocpa sionally in the habit of violating the la t' and expotog themselves to capture by French cruisers, and there was no doubt that the severest punishments had been inflicted on them. Her Majesty's Government had communicated with the French Government, and M. Thouvenel said that he had referred the matter to the Minister of Marine, the officer who had jurisdiction in such subjects. It was pro mised by the French Government that the grievances com plained of wouldbe remedied. THE COMMITTAL OF ALICE DELIN. Mr. O'BRIEN having moved for copies of depositions, order order of conviction, &c., in teis case, said that he felt 1 duty to bring this subject before the house, and felt it his duty to bring this subject before the house, and be drew . attention to the fact that it was a matte eared that last considerable sensation in Ireland. It appear r which ha excited old woman December Mr. French perceived Alice Delinw, of 78 years, enter the house of a femanle,a ehnaott:sehehuwsabsanind was one of the tenants whose rent, a_ ed e h e er into the house of the habit of collecting. that:woman, and on receivHineg ienifloermmation that she had asked for a little sugar, h® sent for a police an and committed her to the county gaol, which was distant 6 or 7 miles. She fell a victim to that harshness, and he contended that Mr. French had exceeded his duty as a magistrate, and that the matter should be fully inquired into. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HENNESSEY seconded the mo ion. Sir R. PEEL thought that the motion of the hon. mem ber instead of allaying excitement on this subject in Ireland, would have a totally d i ifferenteffect. The papers alluded to had already b e en published n a pamphlet. At the same time Government had no objection to produce the papers as well as the letter of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) That functionary reprimanded Mr. French, but at the same time acquitted him of having had any in tention to act with inhumanity, or to exceed what ho con sidered his jusi authority. Mr. M‘Mahon, Mt. Cogan, and Mr. Brady, supported the motion, which was agreed to. PARTNERSHIP LAW AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of Mr. SCIIOLEFIE LD, leave was given to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to partnership. SANDHURST COLLEGE LAND, &c. On the motion of Sir G. LEWIS, leave as given to b ri ng in p a bill for vesting in h er Majesty's principal Secre tary of State for 'War the land s o f th e Royal Military Col lege at Sandhurst,:and for completing certain improvements in reference to the said college. HOMICIDE JURISDICTION BILL. Sir G. LEWIS, in moving for leave to br ng in a bill for the more speedy trial of persons who committed homicides, and were amenable to the provisions of the Mutiny Act, M. GREGORY strongly objected to the enormous ex penditure, utterly disproporlioned, be said, to the object in view ; and to the plan itself, which had been disapproved by every man of science who bad been examined before the committee, except Professor Owen. He analysed the pro posed plan, pointing out what he considered its objection able features, and dwelt upon the vices of the existing system and mammernent, continued by the bill, which sat aside and contravened the decisions of the coserniitee. He moved to defer the second reading for six months. Mr. M. MILNES did not consider the subject of economy was involved in the bill. The question was whether the Museum shuuid be a scientific institution or a mere exhi bition. If the former, it cuglA to be dealt with liberally. He ;;lippott,‘d the second reading. Loyd H. LENNOX objected to the prospect of expense which the Lill offered, and especially to a radical defect in it, in the proposal to transfer ;o South Kensington the body of iruitees, whose nrauag - ment was so generally con,!ernned. Mr. 11. SEYMOUR condemned the removal of the col lection from the present site. Professor Owen did not de sire its removal ; he wanted only additional space. Mr. S. BOOTH objected that the bill proposed division instead of concentration, and a divided administration,which would occasion great public inconvenience. Mr. PULLER, observing that the real difficulty was as to the disposal of the an.iquities. suggested a more econo mical arrangement than that proposed by the bill, ;‘Tr. WALPOLE, in supporting the bill, acknowledged that he had been in favour of keeping the collection toge ther : but, for reasons he stated, this, he observed, was no longer a matter of choice, but of necessity. Ten years ago the Museum might have been extended, and the present difficulty got rid of; but the refusal of the Government and the action of the house had prevented the adoption of the proposal of the trustees. Mr. COX opposed the bill on financial grounds. Sir G. LEWIS said this question had been referred by the Executive Government to the trustees of the Museum, including persons of various opinions, who agreed that some separation of the collection was a matter of necessity. Land in the immediate vicinity of the Mast um being more expensive than in the suburbs, it was proposed to remove a part of the collection to Kensington. Another reason was that by maintaining the collection in one building effici ency of management was prevented. Mr. OSBORNE observed that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's modest estimate of the expense of the removal was £OBO,OOO, but the question was where the money was to come from. The house had been twitted with its extra vagance; let it then test the Government whether they were sincere in their aspirations after economy. After a few words from Col. SYKES, - Lord PALMERSTON observed that it was agreed by all that an extension of space was required, and the only question was whether land should be purchased in the neighbourhood of the Museum at £50,000 an acre, or, as proposed by the bill, at Kensington for £lO,OOO an acre, and, strange to say, the advocates of economy preferred the most expensive plan. Mr. HENLEY said he objected to the bill on this simple ground—that it proposed to give power to the trustees of the Museum to do something that would cost the country between £600,000 and £700,000. Upon a division, the amendment was carried by 163 to to 71, a majority of 92 against the Government; so the Bill is lost. On the order for the third reading of the Peace Pre servation (Ireland) Bill, a e C o l one l DICKSON called atten tion to the recent mur ders in Ireland, observing t hat the Government was bou nd to take some steps to grapple with crimes which, he be lieved, were connected with the lan d . Sir R. PEEL said there had been no neglect part of the authorities ; pr om p t measures had been. taken most t on the by them to arrest the cr iminals, and in therecentcase the murderer had been immediatel y seized d identified, r e sof He deprecated a de p arture from the o rdinary u law, A administered.sys;,:.no fsome length follow e d upon the subject, in the course of which the Government were strongly urged to reorganize the constabulary : so as to give them less of a military and more of a police character. The Bill was read a thi r d ti me end passed. The remaining orders having been disposed of, the House adjourned at 25 minutes past 2 o'clock. LONDO.N GAZATTic.—(This Evening.)

LEWI obtained leave bring in this bill, the object of whic'i he explained was to prevent a recurrence of the accidents which had taken place in the locality in quest FIRE INSURANCE BILL. The second reading of this bill was postponed. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and the diff , rent clauses, with some amendments, were agreed to. The house then resumed. SAVINGS BANK BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, AYRTON said that this bill was intended to benefit the savings' bank depositors, but from its stringent provi sions it failed in giving satisfaction, and he thought the bill should be withdrawn. He thought, however' that the Gcvernment should introduce a measure on the subject next session. Mr. S. ESTCOURT defended the bill, but at the same time be consented to withdraw it. The managers of the savings banks were about to prepare another bill, which would be introduced next session. But he assured the house that he could not support any measure that did not embody views on which the present bill was founded. The bill was then withdrawn. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COIINIONS-YESTERDAY. In reply to Mr, DISRAELI, Lord PALMERSTON, after replying to the remarks of Mr. DISRAELI, upon the subjects referred to in the latter part of his speech, observed that the comparison he had made between 1858 and 1862 showed an increase of only £1,600,000, and there were circumstances, such as the China war, New Zealand, and the despatch of troops to Canada, which had involved an extraordinary outlay. The Govern ment had reduced our army and navy expenditure, and would continue to do so whenever opportunities offered. The amount of our military force was justified by the testi mony of General Peel, who had actually objected to the insufficiency of the money vote; and as to the navy, Sir J. Pakington hail urged its increase by representing the naval preparations of the French. Mr. Disraeli had misappre hended what he said with reference to those preparations. He ( Lord Palmerston) had said that we had no right to make an international objection to the amount of naval force which France might think proper to maintain ; but it did not follow, because we were upon good terms with France, that we were to allow her to acquire a stronger naval force than ourselves. It was a ma ter of necessity, looking to the extent of our commerce and of our possessions abroad, that our navy should not only be equal, but superior to that of France. We did not expect France to 1p our enemy ; at the same time, the French were but men, and it was not in human nature to forbear taking advantage of superior force. It was because he wished to remain at peace with France that he did not desire to tempt her by allowing her to acquire a superiority by sea to become our enemy. Con sidering the immense military force of France, it was abso lutely necessary for the interests and safety of this country that we should have a strong naval force, equal, or superior, to that of France ; and this could not be done without con siderable expense. The Ft ench Government had now 11 iron-clad vessels more than ourselves, and, according to Mr. Disraeli, they had not yet carried out their programme of 1858. Mr. LINDSAY disputed the correctness of the estimate of the iron-clad navy of France, the Government of which, he believed, continued to desire the maintenance of friendly reh.tions with this country. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked whether there would be any Supplementary Eati►nates, and whether a vote of credit would be required for the China war. Ho objected to the bill before the house, that it mixed up various taxes so as to render a discussion of the bill difficult. After some remarks by Mr. HUNT and Mr. B. CARTER, on the subject of the collection of the income-tax, _ _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave a qualified negative reply to the questions put by Sir H. Willoughby. Mr. J. WHITE and Mr. NEWDEGATE having made a few observations, the bill was read a third time and pissed. THE BRITISH MUSEUM BILL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in mcving the second reading of this bill, stated the object of the measure, and explained the views of the Government in relation to the proposed alterations in the Museum and the removal of a part of the collection, giving a conjectural estimate of the ixpense. teers ; Lieutenant - General Sir George August a Wetherell, K.C.B. ; Major-General Henry Eyr a ; Colonel "William Molitagu Scott Mc Murdo, C .8., Inspector-General of Volunteers, Aide-de-tamp to the Queen; Adam Steuart Gladstone, Esq., Lieutenanl- Colonel to the sth Lancashire Rifle Volunteers,: Edward William Venables Harcourt, Esq., Major of the 4th Cinque Ports Artillery Volunteers—to beher Majesty's Commissioners for the purpose of inquiring into the present condition of the Volunteer Force in Great Britain.
