Lord PALIIERSTON having laid on the table sere :ain papers with reference to certain despatches from Paris, rose, amidst loud cheers, and made the following statement, at 20 minutee to 6 o'clock. He said —1 wish to make a statement to the house with respecto the coarse which her Majesty's Government have thought it their duty to pursue in consequence of the Tote this house gave on Friday night. I think i can scarcely be necessary for me to say that that vote led her Majesty's Government to feel the only course they could pursue, with due regard to their own honour, and a duo respect to the house—(hear, hear)--evas to tender their resignations to her Majesty. They did so on Saturday, and her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept them. We now, therefore, only held office for the purpose of carrying on the business of the country till cur successors are appointed. Under these circumstances I am sure the house will feel that it would be incenvenien . ,:, for the house to meet, and therefore, as is usual under similar circumstances, I venture to pro pose that the house do adjourn for a few days. T have ascertained, from a private communicatim I bate had with the noble lord who, I venture to say, is at this time engaged in constructing a Gevern ment, that it will be sufficient for the hcoeiee to adjourn till Friday, and I therefore propose that the house at its rising do adjourn till Friday next. (Cl'eere. ) The motion was agreed to. FOREIGNERS AT MALTA. Mr. EOW YER asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it was true that the Rev. Father Sapetti, a Catholic priest, greatly respected at Malta, haviee,, left the island for a temporary purpose, was, on his return, refused permission to land in Malta, and sent in a Government vessel to Italy ; and, if so, for what reason sod under what circumstances this was doe's.. Mr. LABOUCHERE,!aid that the Governor of Malta, like the Governor of Gi, raltar, had a summary power of sending any foreign er ou t o f t h e colony over which he pro , bled upon his own responsibility. The Governor of Malta thought right to exercise the power iu the ease of the iadieidual rcb rred to by the hon. and learned mem ber. That individual was an Italian priest, who had been re,ilent in the island of Malta, and during his etar there had been very active in fermenting disturbances, the object of his attacks being the Roman Catholic Bithop of Malta. When, therefore, be le_ft the island Sir W. Reid thought it right, under the circumstances, nut to allow him to return. RATE OF WAGES. General CODRINGTON asked the Under Secretary or War if he could lay on the table of the bowie any I et ,, rn of the rate of wages and skilled labour in England and in the colonies, showirg the possibility of civil ser vants being engaged by staff officers at the rate of le. or is 61. a-cay in those places respectively. Sir J. REIAISDEN raid be was nut aware of the existence of any such return. THE COAL TRADE. Lord A. V. TEMPEST asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Government had been made ac quainted with the results et the experiments made for the Coal Trade Committee, by Messrs. Longridge, Arm strong, and Richardson, which proved that the report of Sir Henry De la Leche and Dr. Playfair, in favour of the Welsh coal for steam purposes, was based upon error, and which established the euperiority of northern coal ; further, whether the Government, in consequence of these experiments, were prepared to reconsider the re port alluded to, and to institute a fresh inquiry as to which coal was most advantageous for the steam pur poses of the navy. Sir C. WOOD said the report had been brought under the consideration of the Admiralty and was at present under their consideration, and, in his cpinien, a farther inquiry would he proper. THE BELJAST RIOTS. Captain ARCHDALL asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any and what measures had been taken by the Irish Government to prosecute Loughran, who, as appeared by the report of Mews. Lynch and smytb, wa.s the cause of the late Belfast riots which commenced in July last, the said Loughran having, as appears by the said report, been gailty with others of conspiracy to riot. Mr. 11. OF eaid that if his Iron. friend had ra , ad the report on which he founded his question, he would not have p u t it i n a form which was opposed to the facts as stated in the report. The commissioners, in adverting to the incident in which the person alluded to was concerned, stated that it had a very slight and unimportant bearing in estimating the causes of the riot, but rtill that person was taken before the magistrates arid fined 401. for the offence. EAST INDIA LOAN BILL, On the order of the day for considering in committee the East India Loan Bill, Mr. MANGLES said that it was of the most vital importance that the Company should be enabled by means of this measure to raise money, in order to carry on the service of the Government, He hoped tke corn. mittco would allow the act to proceed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that of course he should not ask the committee to discuss the details of any measure under existing circumstances, but he wished to say that there was a reason for prr• cceding with this bill with respect to circumstances affecting the state of the finances of the East India Company. The committee were aware of the statement which had been previously made. There wore certain army and navy estimates which were repayable by the East India Company, which it was desirab'e should be repaid before the end of the financial year, on the Ist April next, in order to prevent any derangement of the finances of this country. If the Company were not able to repay the amount of public money advanced to them the estimates would be deranged. He wished the com mittee merely to be in posses-ion of these facts, and then they could deal with the bill as they pleased. Mr. T. BARING said that when this bill passed the second reading it was understood that any details were to be reserved till the committee. He certainly thought this mode of raising money a very clumsy one, and the general principles of the measure most remarkable. But it it e.'ere perfectly essential, for the purpose of carrying on her Majesty's Government that this money should be raised, of course his objections must yield to their con sideration. If, therefore, the hon. and right bon. gentleman said that it was necessary for the public service. that this measure should pass through committee he (Mr. Baring) should withdraw his opposition. Mr. V. SMITH was understood to say that it would be inconvenient, to discuss the principles of the bill at the present moment, which could be more properly done on the proposition of the right hon. baronet the member for Portsmouth (Sir F. Baring), that the loan should be reduced from 10,000,0001. to 8,000,0001. 1 4 bad also been proposed that the 11th clause of the bill should be altered so that the subscriptions to the loan should be raised in this country. If these alterations were made, he saw no objection rained why they should not go into committee at once. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said the house had passed the second reading without discussion, on the under standinmb that the principles of the measure k:hoald be discussed at this stage. He contended that they were without adequate information on the subject, and he should like to hear from the Chancellor of the Exchequer or the hon. member for Guildford (Mr. Mangles) what were the present 1 abilities of every kind upon the Indian nin immense glike 9 0 1 ,i a o b o i o h , tOyooo/1.1 aocreloouon,toCo/of, revenue. So far as h e could make out they were some- O r o al o .l / i z a a y n c d t N he o re w, w h as e a ished to know how this matter stood, because the proposition was to increase the funded debt of India by one-sixth, an d the question was would this liability by any po ss ibili ty fall upon the finances of the exchequer. Theta wa s a c h ronic deficit year after year , and for the last four y ears it amounted to 6,000,000/. The revenue of India was raised from land tax, salt, and opium, and other things ; but a great portion of the revenue of the last year could not be collected. He trusted that some explanation would be given upon these points, viz., what was the present state of the Indian revenue —what were the charges upon it in the shape of debt of all kinds—and from what revenue it was proposed to meet this additional item of expenditure. He believed it was a great fallacy to suppose that the debt of the East India Company could be paid off out of two years revenue. In his opinion the two exchequers of England and India should be kept distinct, or the house would become entangled in Indian finance. Mr. AYII.TON considered it extremely inconvenient that they should go into committee at this time, con sidering the present state of the house and the Govern. went, and the Government of India. The question before the house involved serious consideration, for the right r hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire ° ! M r• had spoken in terms very different to t positions contained in this bill. Now, ( pro. clear they framed the bill, they would . _ vai bl e for the this country would not be morally v: P° debt, and have to coma forward would advance their money for t h e e. __ t _ ey The great question the East India Com pany borrow the money, should not advance th e .

He has arrived in this country from Canada, with the highest testimonials to his success and skill from .he Governor- General and Commander-in-Chief of that colony. Major-General Sir Richard Airey, K.C.B. ' Quartermaster-General of H. M. Forces, Lord Alfred Paget, Clerk-Marshal to her Majesty, and the Hon. Colonel Hood, have testified to the value of the art and to the faci lity with which it may be applied and communicated. Messrs.

Although he was reported to have - been a party to that decision, he had no trace of recollection of the fact, and on considering the matter now he must say he should feel great difficulty in arriv ing at that conclusion. The present was not a proper place or occasion for discussing this subject—(hear, hear)—but he (meld not regret that the question bad arisen, because it - was of the last importance that it should not go forth, to the shame of our laws, that we had one la 0: f, r I n ritislt subject, and another for ahem+, and that aliens might conspire to do what British sub jects could not do. It was absolutely impossible that the statement attributed by his noble and learned friend to his hon. and learned friend could have fallen from him. Lord LYNDHURST concurre 1 in the views ex pre.eied by hie noble and learned friend (Lord Campbell). With regard to the decision alluded to by the Lord Chancellor in the case "Regina v. Azzopardi," three chief justice, agreed in it. The Government executed the sentence, and the man was hanged. Lord BROUGHAM also entirely agreed in the law as laid down by his noble and learned fr.end. No doubt bad e►er beeneexpressed that an alien in this country was just as amenable to the municipal law of England as a natural-born subject. If tried under that law an alien might he proceeded against by the same course of law and punished by the same penalties as a natural-born subject. Their lordships, however, were now discussing not what the Attorney-General bad actually said, but a report of something which he was reported to have said. There would be no end to their lordships' debates if, on account of a paragraph in a newspaper, whether it were an ordinary article of news or comment upon what had taken place, or a report of what had occurred else where, their lordships were to be drawn habitually ints discussions of this kind. He did not- believe that any thing like the doctrine imputed to the Attorney-General bad been ventilated by him. Lord WENSLEYDALE was understood to express his assent in the law as laid down by his noble and learned friend Lord Campbell. Lord ST. LEONARDS would not enter into the subject further than to say that he entirely concurred in what haat fallen from his noble and learned friend the Lord Chief Justice. The subject then dropped. HAVELOCK ANNUITIES BILL. On the motion of Lord PANUUBB, this bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOIJSE OF COMNIONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The resignation of -ministers, in consequence of the adverse vote on Friday night, caused an unusual amount of excitement in the neighbourhood of Palace yard and the House of Parliament. Large num bers of persons congregated at an early hour, anxious to learn the earliest information with reference to the late Ministerial crisis. Within the house the same interest was manifested by the members, who began to zoserable to take their past am three o'clock. t y c ong.lthemwas t Tp h iha e ec a ep n ar t e i acvlaspi prevailing yt lCl ap i s n i vo t e fe r nc i vri:4n statement. One hon, mem b r who possesses a strong clear voice, met his friends in a jocular strain, with the exclamation—r' What a pretty mess we made of it on Friday night." By a crearter to 4 o'clock the house was three-parts full. Amongst the early arrivals were Sir J. Graham, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Ricardo, and Sir B. Hall. Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Henley, entered the house immediately after prayers, and took their respective seats without any ebullition of feeling. The arrivals of the members of the Government were few and far between. Amongst those who first entered the house were Mr. Wilson and Sir B. Hall. Mr. Hayter and Mr. Fitzroy both entered the house M au early hour, and almost immediately communicated with Mr. Disraeli. Lord Palmerston arrived at a quarter t, 4. Heentered by the door at the back of the Speaker's chair, and took his seat without any demonstration of feeling on either aide of the house. Mr. Labouchere, Sir 0 Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. M. T. Baines, the Attorne)-General, Mr. V. Smith, Sir G. Grey, and the other members of the Government, fol lowed shortly after. Sir J. Pakington, Lord John Manners, Mr. Glad stone, Mr. Bright, and Mr. S. Herbert arrived shortly after 4 o'clock. The floor of the house at 20 minutes past 4 o'clock was very full, and the members' gallery facing the Ministerial benches was crowded long before that time. Lord John Russell arrived at 25 minutes past 4, and took his usual seat on one of the back Ministerial benches, The SPEskliEll took the chair at tea minutes to four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Major CARTWRIGHT took the oaths and his seat for South Northamptonshire. CORPORATION =AMU. Mr, Sheriff Lawrence and Mr. - Sheriff Allen appeared at the bar of the house and presented a petition from the Corporation of London against the Government bill, and praying that the Government Bill and the Corporation Bill might be referred to a select committee. PRIVATE BILLS. A number of private bias were read a second time. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE—MR. I. BUTT, M.P. Mr. ROEBUCK, on presenting the petition of which he had given notice with reference to Mr. Butt, said—l rise, sir, to present the petition of which I gave notice last Friday, and I think it will save the house some trouble if I read the petition, which consists only if a few liner. Th e h ot, and learned gent l eman then read the petiti on . T he petitioner (ma E. L. Coffey, of Sheffield) stated that Isaac Butt, Esq., 1 ‘ 1 • P • , in or about the month of July, 1856, entered into a corrupt agreement with the Rajah Ali Moored Khan, or his agents, the effect of which was that the said Isaac Butt, for a sum of money stipulated to be paid to him, should advocate and prosecute in the House of Commons the chime of his Hi g h ness for the recovery o f t h e terri tory of which h e had been deprived by annexation by the Eest Lid a) . C ompany ; and that is pursuance of such corrupt agreeme n t divers sums of money had been actually paid by t h e said Ameer Ali Moored Khan to the said Laae Butt. The petitioner was adv i sed and believed that if th e house 'Mould institute an inquiry into the cir cumstances it would be found that the said Isaac Butt h a d b een guilty of a breach of privilege of the house, and h e therefore prayed that the house would take steps t o i nvestigate the allegations in the petition. The hon, and l earned gentleman then presented the petition, whi c h, upon his motion, was ordered to be printed and circulated with the votes. The hon, and learned gentleman then said :—I beg to give notice that I will on Fr iday move for a select committee to iequire c into the alleg a ti ons contained in the petition. Mr. I. BUrT —I rise, sir 1 , to protest against the course h ugsg been Publicly made against me which I now denounce as false, and, more then t hi s, I say t h a t I am p repare d to prove that it i s the result of as vile and unprincipled a conspiracy as was ever made against a member of this house. I d emand, sir, f rom the juetice o f t hi s h ouse an immediate in r eetigation. (C heers.) L et t h at investiga tion be conducted i n t h e way that I would prefer— namely, by a public inquiry at the bar of this house. Until I vindic a t e myself 1 am content to stand as a criminal, if the h ouse will permit me to meet my accuser face to face. If th e h ouse see an objection to that course (and it is not, Of course, or me to choose my tribunal) Jcb a oolout ournebitisoi no being a question of privile be app o i n t e d, b eca u se this ge can take precedence. L et that select committee hare leave to sit to-morrow— (c'teers)—and let it determine the matter. I wish to throw no imputation at all upon the course taken by the boa, m si mple question which the house emb has whether th e c h arg e is T i h s e true or not. On Thursdayevening I oame down to this house intending, if I should have had the good member for to Sheffield, determine fortune of having an opportunity of doing so, to take part in the debate. I found in this house a letter from the honourable member eno i nang el a copy of this petition. On Friday morning I wrote him a letter (of which I did not make a copy, bat the honourable mem ber, I am sure, can say whether I ••• am stating its con tents accurately) to the effect that I had received this petition, that it had taken me by surprise, that I denied the charge, and that I wished that it should be imme diately investigated, inasmuch as it Was of so grave a nature that no member of the house should allow 24 i hours to pass without contradicting it, if unfounded. (Cheers.) But I also told him that, in order to make my statement complete, it would be necessary for me to refer to documents and correspondence which were in Dublin, and which I was afraid no person could find hut myself. I therefore asked him to defer presenting the petition for three or four days to give me au oppor tunity of going to Dublin to obtain the documents, that I might meet the charge. I went further-_I told bins that as I was writing to him I might add that such a charge, even if fully refuted, must be deeply painful to any nian—(bear)—and that the discussion of it might compromise the case of the prince whos e name h a d b een referred to. "Therefore," I said, " relying on your honour and sense of justice, if you will permit me I will lay before you a statement of every transaction in which I have taken part in relation to that prince, and I ask you to defer presenting the petition u n til you h ave rea d that statement." (Cheers.) I do not wish in the slightest degree to complain of the course taken by the hon. member. I told him at the same time that I was certain that, whatever coarse he might take, it would b e die fated by his sense of . public duty. I received from h i m a letter stating that if I attended in my place to-day I should have an opportunity of hearing the notice which he would give of his intention to move on Friday even ing for a select committee to investigate the charge. I have no reason to complain of the tone of that letter. In reply to that letter I said I was sure be would, on reflection, see there was an objection to that course, and that, under whatever disadvantageous circumstances, I was ready at the first moment to meet my accuser in pub:ie. (Clime.) I stated that I believed I was ready to meet the charge (I am speaking from memory), but he would feel that to make my defence in a public assembly would be a very different affair from making it before a select committee, apart from the danger of inaccurately stating the purport of documents of which I was not then in possession. I proposed to leave for Dublin on the morning after the division on Friday evening. To that letter I received no answer, and I waited until half-past 4 expecting one, end then, upon coming down to the house I found that the hon. and learned gentleman had not only given notice of his in tention to present this petition, but that he had stated that he believed in the truth of the allegations contained in it. Under these circumstances all that rack from this house is justice. (Hear, hear.) I make no appeal to their sympathy, because I know that in addressing the first assemblage of gentlemen in the world such an appeal would be out of place, but I demand of their jus tice that not one hour, not one moment longer than the rules of the house render necessary, shall this odious charge be kept hanging over my head. (Cheers.) Whe ther you, agree that the investigation shall take place at the bar (where I may meet Mr. Coffey face to face) of this house, or whether you refer it to a select committee —whatever course you take, let it be taken at once. (Hear, hear.) I do not know whether I should be in order in moving that a committee be now appointed in order to inquire into the truth of this petition. I have spoken to ne one on the subject, nor have I canvassed any member of this house ; but I leave my case in the hands of a friend, who I know will do me justice, and who is in possession of full information as to the circum stances of the case. I shall now, sir, retire'from this house, but I feel confident that whatever course the house may take I shall, after a full investigation into the subject, return to my seat without any stain upon my honour—(hear, hear)—without any other stain upon my reputation than that blot which an accusation of this kind always leaves behind it made against a scan cir cumstanced as I am. (No, no.) However false the charge may be, or however vile the motives in which it may have originated, all that I ask is that not one day, not one hour longer than is absolutely necessary shall elapse without this charge against me being investi gated. (Cheers.) The hon, gentleman then retired from the house. Mr. ROEBUCK—I hope that it may be in the recol. lection of the house that when I gave notice of my in tention of presenting this petition I also gave notice thatl should move for a select committee to inquire into the truth of the allegations contained in it. Exception wa.4 taken to the course which I then proposed, and you, Sir —the highest authority in this house—suggested the course which I have adopted. I think, therefore, that as far as I am concerned I am without blame for the course which I have pursued. (Hear, hear.) Moreover, Sir, I stated that I believed in the truth of the allegations con tained in this petition. Now, I thought that in bringing forward a charge of so grave a nature against a mem ber of this house I was bound to carefully investigate the evidence upon which the accusation was mare, and having done so I arrived at the conclusion. Mr. BAG WELL rose to order. He did not think that the hon. and learned gentleman was iu order in making au ex parte statement. The SPEAKER said the hon. and learned gentleman was only entitled to address the house if ho wished to snake any explanation of his former statement. He would suggest to him the propriety of acceding to the wish which bad been expressed by the hon. and learned member for Youghal, and of moving at once for a com tnittee. Mr. ROEBUCK—I shall then, Sir, move that the committee of selection proceed at once to the appoint ment of a select committee to inquire into the allegations contained in this petition. Mr. FAGAN objected to such a course being adopted, because one or two days would necessarily elapse before the appointment of a committee, and such &charge ought not to be kept hanging over the head of an honourable man for one hour longer than could be avoided. He should move as an amendment that the house at once proceed to the election of a select •emmittee to inquire into the circumstances of the case. For himself he hoped that the committee would consist of some of the most dis tinguished members of the house, and he felt satisfied that his hon. friend would come out of that investiga tion in the most triumphant manner, and would be able to prove that the charges? against him were the result of a conspiracy of the vilest character. Another reason for the immediate appointment of a committee was that his hon. and learned friend would have t ) proceed to Ireland on professional duty on Monday next, and he hoped that the house would accede to that course. He would venture to suggest that the committee should consist of Mr. Henley, Lord J. Manners, Mr. Walpole, Sir J. Graham. Mr. S. Herbert, Mr. Bright, Sergeant Kinglake, Mr. Binverte, Col. W. Patten, Mr. Deedes, and Lord Goderich. (Hear ) He should there fore move that a committee be at once appointed to in quire into the allegations of the p etition of Mr. Coffey, and that it should continue its sittings notwithstanding the adjournment of the house, which he understood was about to be proposed. (Hear.) Mr ROEBUCK—I at once accede to the suggestion. Mr. DUNCOMBE said that in the confusion which had prevailed he had not observed whether the house bad agreed to the motion for printing the petition and circulating it with the votes. He had understood the hon. and learned gentleman to move that the petition he printed in order that it might assist the house in coming to a decision as to the appointment of a committee ; but if the committee were at once appointed that object was at an end. It was usual also when petitions of that na ture were printed to include in the motion the restriction that they were printed for the use of members only, and then any newspaper that printed them did it at its own risk and responsibility, and that house was saved from any possibility of being brought into collision with the courts of 1259 upo❑ the question of libel. It was only fair also to the hon, member attacked that such a resttiction should be imposed. Mr. ROEBUCK—If the house should think itself better qualified to appoint this committee than the com mittee of selection, Joan have no objection to thatcourse. I therefore at once accede to the proposal of the hon. member. As to the printing of the petition, yen, sir, will bear me out in saying that I proposed that that should be done simply in consequence of your suggestion. If the house thinks St, it can rescind the order for printing the petition, and direct that the inquiry be proceeded with at once. Mr. DISRAELI—Sir, I cannot help feeling that the Lowe is asked to act with some precipitation. Gear, hear.) Of course, it must be very painful to any gentle lean to be subject to an accusation of the nature which we have just heard; and it is only fair that each an accusation sheuld meet with as prompt an investigation as possible. But, at the same time, we have certain rules which have been accepted by this house, and which long experience has proved to be very salutary ; and I fear that if we were to anpoint this committee on the instant we should be taking a course hardly regular. I think it would be much better to allow it to be appointed by the committee of selection. (gear, hear.) It has been always the custom for the names of those who are no minated to investigate, especially in cases of this nature, to be place I fairly before the house for their considera tion and approval, and I should have thought it would be much mere agreeable to the hon. gentleman whose conduct has been impugned that there should not be the appearance of unEurnly haste in a matter of this kind. Another point is the number of persons wile should form the committee- From the hurried man ner in which the hon. gentleman read his motion I really don't at this moment know either the number or the names of the members whom he proposes to appoint. But it appears to me that the tribunal be suggests is inconveniently large, and should be much more limited. It should consist of those members in whose temper and high character the house as well as the hon. gentleman may have the fullest confidence. Under any circumstances it would, I believe, be better to leave the nomination of this committee to the cora -1 mittee of selection, instead of to an hon. member who has been indicated to the house as the friend of the hon. gentleman whose conduct is impugned: lam sure the house will feel it to be the wisest course to follow their usual practice in such cases, and that if the choice of the names are not left to the committee of selection it would be more satisfactory to the hon. member for Yougb ai himself that they should at least be placed before the house for due consideration. Sir G. GREY (who rose amidst cries of " Divide l") said—This case is brought before the house as a question of privilege ; and on that ground alone,. I pehen can any such departure from the ord inaryru a l p e rules rpprehend, d, of the house be justified as the nomination of this committee on the motion of any independent member. agree with the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Disraeli) that it is extremely desirable, excepting under very urgent 1 necessity, that the rules should be adhered to ; and I am inclined to think with him that in this instance there is no necessity for departing from them. The house can have but one object—viz., that consistently with the thorough investigation of the charges preferred against the hon. member, he should have the earliest possible opportunity of vindicating himself. With that view the hon, and learned member for ShefEeld has proposed that the committee of selection forthwith nomivate a corn mittee to inquire into the allegations of the peti tion. If that proposition is agreed to, the commit. tee of selection will in the course of this evening or to-morrow morning appoint the committee. And although, perhaps, the motion of the hon. member for Cork (Air. Fagan) was suggested by an anti cipation that the house would not sit for the next few days, and that therefore some delay would be incurred, yet I apprehend that no such delay need take place, because, if nominated by the committee of selection, the committee might meet to-morrow and proceed with their inquiry forthwith. (Hear.) It would be decidedly preferable on every account to leave the nomination in the hands of the committee of selection —(cries of "Divide -and the house should express its Opit.i .0 that the members should not exceed the usual number. Mr. BRIGHT, who on rising was received with cheers from all parts of the house, raid :—The course proposed by the right hon. gentleman opposite does not appear to me to ba quite consistent with what., if I were in the place of the hon. member behind me (11Tr. Butt) I should think ought to be taken by the house, and the right hon, baronet the Home Secretary has recommended a course which appears to me just es contrary to rule. He proposes that the committee of selection should nominate a number of gentlemen to act on this committee, and, as I suppose, that they should proceed with their duty, although this house does not sit to confirmtheir nomination. (Dissent ) That possibly inay not be necessary, but it appears to me to be an unusual course that a number of gentlemeen should be appointed as a committee by a committee of selection that was never intended to appoint committees in cases of this kind—(hear, hear)--and then that that committee should sit, although it has received no con firmation from the House of Commons. (Hear.) Now, if my own name ware not included in the list given in by the hon. member for Cork, I should think the committee that ho has proposed, as far as I beard their names, would be composed of men before whom any member of this house would be quite satisfied to have his case tried. (Hear.) We have been told that the hon. member for Youghal, who is concerned most immediately in this matter, is about to leave for Dublin on a professional engagement. Nov:, I thick the House of Commons ought not to allow a nio merit's delay that might involve him in the unpleasant po sition that he must go to Ireland on his professional ave. cations with a charge of this nature hanging over his head. If this house were to meet to-morrow night, arwi every night this weak, it might not matter much, be cause to-morrow the whole question might then be settled. Bat it cannot be settled to-night ; and as the case is one of privilege, involving the character and hon our of an hon. member, I would recommend the house not to take the advice of any person, however high his authority, who would ieterpoee a,mement's delay between the charge that has been made and that justification which every ono of us, I believe, in his heart hopes the hon. gentleman may establish. (Hoar, hear.) As one of those whose names are proposed by the hon. member for Cork, I would ask of him to excuse me ; but, whether I am exemted or not, I would certainly urge the house to agree to tole committee, that it may begin to investigate to - morrow meet report its seen as possible. (Cheers ) Colonel W. PATTEN believed that if the house devolved the duty of nomination upon the Committee of Selection it would discharge it with impartiality ; but he saw an objection to the course suggested by the Secre tary of State for the Home Department. It would be the first time that the task of appointing a committee of this kind had fallen upon the Committee of Selection, without their nomination being afterwards submitted to the judgment of the house. (Hear.) The 0 wnnoittee of Selection were bound to report their proceedings to the house, and could not select any committee even on a private bill without submitting their choice to its con firrnetion. He would suggest that, instead of this duty being intrusted to the Committee of Selection, it should be intrusted to the Committee of Elections, which con s:sted of six members fairly chosen from both sides of the bongo, and which would, perhaps, carry with it more of the public confidence. Lord ELCHO t it for granted that the feeling 01 the house was that justice should be done as soon as possible in this case. The right hon. gentleman (Sir G. Grey) had recommended that the Committee of Selection should appoint the committee either that night or the following morning; but as the house would probably adjourn that night for a .esk or so, many hon. mem bers would be leaving town immediately, and it would perhaps be very difficult to collect together any corn mitt :e which might ho thus chosen. Mr. BLAND pointed out the precedent of the Roch dale Election Committee, in which the house appointed the Committee of Inquiry the very Fame evening that the allegations were made. The present was not an ordinary case, and therefore ought not to be left to the Committee of Selection. Under these circumstances he pressed upon the house the desirability of nominating the committee which had been proposed by his hon. friend the member for Cork. Mr. NEWDEGATE, who spoke amid loud cries of "Agreed, agreed," recommended that the suggestion of the right hon, gentleman the member for Buckingham shire, backed as it was by the authority of the Home Secretary, should be adopted. Mr. S. ESTCOURT thought that the question for the House to consider was which mode of appointing the committee would bo fairest to the hon. member who was suhjeet to this charge. They had before them three propositions—firstly, the proposal of certain names by an hon. member who spoke on behalf of the accused, to which the house might—not quite in accordance with pricf,dent, but without any great, violation of it —assent ; secondly, that the appointment of the committee should be referred to the committee of selection ; nod, thirdly, that it should be left to the general committee of elec tion,. To both of these two last propositions there was the same objection, that neither committee could report to the house, the names which they had selected, which would, ,in his cpicion, be a gv later violation of the ordinary precedents and usages of the House than the 'immediate nomination of the committee. (Hear, hear.) Every hen. member must feel that if they were to strain a point at all it ought to be in order to give to the accused party the earliest opportunity of rsfutinw the charges which were made against him. (Hear, hear.) Ile therefore thought that they would the least violate precedent, and would do the most sub stant:al justice by acceding to the motion of the hon. member for Cork. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. MANNERS asked his hen. and gallant friend (Mr. W. Patten) whether he proposed to refer the peti tion itself or only the nomination of the committee to the general committee of elections. (Cries of " Agreed, agreed.") Mr. H. FITZROY suggested that if the matter wee referred to the committee of selection, that committee might at once retire, nominate the committee, and report it to the house. (Cries of " No, no.") Mr. ROEBUCK asked leave to withdraw his original motion, and, leave being given, it was withdrawn. The SPEAKER then put the question "That the 1.10'2:131! forthwith proceed to appoint a select committee." Lord PALMERSTON nuggeeted that the hon. mem ber for Cork should again read the names of the gentle men whom he proposed as members of the committee. Mr. FAGAN having complied with this request, Lord J. RUSSELL said that, as it was generally understood that the members of committees of this sort should attend de die in diem, he trusted that the mem bars named to the house would consider themselves bound to discharge that duty. (A laugh.) Sir J. PAKINGTON objected to the committee, as being too nuinerous and consisting of an even number. Us suggested that there should be only five members. Mr. BRIGHT objected to the number five, as likely to give too :ouch power to the chair man , as was often the case in election committees. He thought the number ought not to be less than seven. Sir J. PAKINGTON would agree to that number. Toe question having been put and carried, Sir J. PAKINGTON moved that the committee should consist of 7 members, and this was also agreed to, Mr. FAGAN said he would move the first 7 names upon his list. Mr. WALPOLE said that the committee could not be nominated withoutfirst suspending the standing order, which required a day's notice of the names. (" Oh, oh.") On the question " that Mr. Henley be a member of the committee," Lord GODERICH said that it was quite possible that some hon. gentlemen whose names were proposed might in a few days no longer be members of that house. He wished to know what would be the result of such an occurrence. (Laughter,) Sir G. GREY understood that if the name of any hon. member was agree d to without his objecting _to he in candou r , if no t e xpressly, agreed to serve d e in client. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. HENLEY said that, as the proposition suddenly made to him, ho most decline to serve on notice he might have had been committee. Had he had a taken a diffsrent course. (Increased .) The name of the right li t o h n e . l ,, ist was that of Lord J. ay ap s ntl e gentleman h yeas ter withdrawn. The next on be.n put from the chair, Mannsrs. On his nem: ditto to my right wh l o g was received with cheers andL csirhdouJt.s PAKINGTON thought that the house hail laughter, NNEß, said—l say Sir J. now had sufficient proof of the inconvenience of the hon 7 friend. j olfA nomination of the committ ee s h ould be course which had been adopted , and renewed the sug gestion that the teeledettiohnai the house might refmerrr.eds.tleHtEhencuoEmßmri ttseuegogfess be adjourned till to-morrow to receive the report of the committee of selection. (Cries of " No, no.") The name of Lord J. Manners was then passed over, and that of Mr. Walpole proposed, amid renewed merri ment. Mr. WALPOLE wag at all times ready to serve cn committees, but, seeing that the present committee had been proposed without uotice, and that certain porti ins of it had already begged to be excused, he hoped it would not be considered disrespectful to the house if he requested that his name might be omitted. (Hear.) The name of the right hon. gentleman was, conse quently, not agreed to. The following names were then put and agreed to seriatim:—Sir James Graham, Mr. Sidney Herbert, Mr. Bright, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, Mr. Bouverie, General Codrington, and Mr. Wilson Patten. &r H. WILLOURBY—I beg the house to notice that all the gentlemen nominated have been taken from the-ol her side. (Oh !) On the motion of Sir G. GREY, the committee was empowered to sit notwithstanding the adjournment of the house ; five to be a quorum. _ ich I have pre sented is about to be referred to this Mr. ROEBUCK—The petitionw h select committee. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. —(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CRANORLLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. The attendance of peers this evening was not very numerous. The only members of the late Government present when the Lord Chancellor took his seat were the Marquis of Lansdowne, the • Earl of Clarendon, Lor: Panrnure, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and the Marquis of Clanricarde. Earl Grey occupied his usual seat. Earl Granville entered the house about 5 minutes after 5, and entered into conversation with the Earl of Malmesbury for a few minutes, and then retired to his usual place. On the Opposition side of the house were the Earl of Ellenborough, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Hard wicke, Lord St. Leo nerds, the Earl of Egllnton, the Marquis of Salisbury. The attendance of strangers in the space before the throne was rather large, and four or five ladies occu pied seats in the galleries. THE ALIEN LAW. Lord LYNDHURST begged to ask his noble and learned friend as to a certain statement attributed to him with respect to the law affecting aliens. Lord CAMPBELL said that his attention had been drawn to the statement, and that he had been sur prised and distressed at it. He would not cad it a misstatement of law, but a misapprehension, and it was of the utmost importance that the facts of the case should be stated, as otherwise they would be held in a most odious light by foreign nations, it aliens residing withi n th e Q p een ' s a ll eg i anoe could suppose that they might with impunity commit crimes of the deepest dye— . Lind GRANVILLE rose to order. Lord CAMPBELL—Then, at a later part of the evening I shall feel it my duty to recur to this question again. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. Earl GRANVILLE then rote, and, amid profound silence, said—My lords, I nee to make an announce ment that most of your lordships must already be pre pared for. In consequence of a circumstance that took place in another place on Friday night, her Majesty's Ministers have thought it their duty to tender their resignation to her Majesty, and that her Majesty had been phased to accept that resignation, and to communicate with Lord Derby. I understand that that noble lord has undertaken to form a Cabinet, and it was the wish of that noble lord that the house should adjourn until Friday next. I understand from my noble and learned friend on the woolsack that the house will sit to-morrow for judicial business, but I think it convenient that no other business should be transacted. I have now only to announce that we hold office merely till our successors are appointed. The Earl of MALMESBURY said he was too well acquainted with the noble lords opposite as men of honour and having a high sense of public duty to doubt for a moment the course they would pursue. (Hear, bear.) He was. free 'to admit that ho felt justi fied, however, in saying that he was much gra tified that men whose politics were in accordance with his own had been called by her Majesty to her counsels. (Hear, hear.) He could not help feeling a satisfaction in looking back that their debates in that house had been carried on without acrimony orill-feeling on either side, and he would only add one word to inform their lordships that his noble friend Lord Derby was at that moment occupied in fulfilling the task her Majesty had imposed upon him, and it was his wish that the house should adjourn until Friday. The motion for the adj ournment of the house until Friday was then agreed to. THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE AND THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Lord CAMPBELL resumed his statsinent upon the subject of the law affecting aliens by saying that he did not impute anything to a n y i n di v idual, but he read in the public journals the following : " The state of the English law I believe to be this— that foreigners are able to do in this country that which your own subjects are unable to do, and that which would be a crime in natural born British eubjects is a matter of impunity in foreigners." Now, that was not the law of England, and it W 23 of the last importance that it should be known to the country and to Europe that it was not the law of Eng land. (Hear, hear.) He appealed Obis noble and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst) to confirm his statement, that there was no distinction whatever between natural born subjects and aliens with regard to acts committed within the realm of England. If al ens were in England, within the Queen's allegiance, they were her subjects as long as they remained there, and they were fields to the same procedure as natural born subjects. (Hear, hear.) If they were tried for high treason, or any offence between high treason and the lowest known to the law, done in England, it would be wholly immaterial whether they were aliens by birth or foreign subjects, and it would be most disastrous if it were supposed that such was the disgraceful state of English law that they, owing allegi ance to England, were not subj-ot to the law which bound English subjects. He said that while they were under the protection of English law they were bound to obey it, and were liable for any infraction of English law exactly in the same manner as any person who was born within the sound of Bow belle For conspiracy and every other offence they were amenable to tho law of England. c(lllairne (Hear.) It oth woeuldwobreldmtohnasttrotubsey whothatit l should ived b heree p a rnod enjoyed an asylum could commit with impunity crimes for which English subjects might be punished. If a foreigner in a foreign land committed a crime and came to England we could not punish him for what he had done in a foreign land. It would be contrary to the law of nations to attempt to do so. But we could legislate for our own subjects all over the world, and make them amenable in an English court for anything which they had committed abroad. With regard to a foreigner who committed a crime abroad, we bad no jurisdiction over the offence, but for everything done within the realm of England he was equally amenable as a native born British subject. (Hear.) He had heard with astonish ment that it was made a question whether it was an , offence in England to conspire to murder the consort of the Emperor of the French at the time she was about to i give birth to an heir to the throne. He was shocked that there could be the smallest doubt upon the aubject. To conspire anything which was malum in se in England was an offence to the law for which the conspirator would be liable to be prosecuted, and if it were to murder one of the lowest subjects in a foreign country, such an offence would most undoubtedly be committed. With regard to the consort of a Sovereign there was the instance of Lord George Gordon, who was found guilty of libelling Marie Antoinette, The Bill which had been brought in elsewhere did not create any new offence ; it only altered the punishment, and if it had been introduced as an amendment of the Eng lish code he should most unwillingly have supported it, because he thought there ought to be uniformity of punishment in every part of the United Kingdom. He would advise any future Government to go on with this bill, and if it cams up to that house he felt certain their lordships would support it. (Hear, hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR felt bound to say a few words in vindication of his hon. and learned friend the Attorney-General, with whom he had bad no commu nication whatever on this subject. He ventured, how ever, to say, without authority from his honourable and learned friend, that if he had been reported to have said what his noble and learned friend had impeted to him he must have been misrepreneetod. It was able- Intely impossible for his hon. and learned friend so to have expressed himself. It was so very difficult a task to report the debates in Parliament that occasional mis takes were not to be wondered at. He apprehended there could be no doubt that if a native of another country committed a crime abroad and then came to this country it was perfectly impossible to punish him or give him up, except so far as it could be done by a treaty of extradi tion. The Attorney-General probably spoke with refe rence to a case of this sort, or perhaps he referred to the question that had of late been much mooted —namely, what would be the offence of a British subject who should murder a foreigner abroad. Their lordships might remember the case of a man named Azzopardi, who was tried for that offence 10 or 12 years ago. The case of this man was carefully considered, and the judges ruled that for a British subject to murder a foreigner abroad was puniehable as much as if the crime had been coin.* l __-f- - 1 Od 0 od Dr Eto. ~D~
