ONEY MARKET a,YD COMIVIERCTAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. During the last few days the markets for foreign and colonial produce have exhibited consideralie firmness. For sugar there was a fair inquiry, and the finer qualities realised full rates. In the refined market there has also been an active demand fcr undried goods, and prices have advanced 6d. per cwt. Very little business has been reported in tea, and prices are unaltered, and coffee has been dealt in to a moderate extent, at full values ; holders in many instances demand a slight advance upon late qu stations. Superior qualities of turn continue in demand ; and rice has also slightly improved. For saltpetre there has been a far inquiry, and higher rates are current for the better qualities. The public sales of colonial wool continue to progress very steadily, and the prices realised at the commencement of the series have generally been maintained. The tallow market has been dull, notwithstanding there is little South American or Australian in the market. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 525. 6d. ; April to June, 525. 6d. ; and last three months, 60e. 6d. per cwt. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday manifested less animation, but prices advanced id. per lb. on all descriptions. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators. The Railway 'Share Market closed quietly, with little business doing, at about previous rates. A further withdrawal of about 32,0001. in gold coin from the Bank of England took place yester - day, but this will probably be replaced by the 92,8721. received yesterday by the Donald M`Kay, and the 120,0001. by the Arabia. An occasional movement of this kind must be expected when there is such a steady demand for silver on Eastern account ; but although every one must be prepared for such withdrawals there is a good deal of comment whenever they ocour, especially among the speculators, who at once begin to calculate upon the probability of an extensive drain. At present the remittances, it is alleged, are confined to the necessary payments for supplies of silver, and unless the Bank of Franco resumes its purchases of gold, there is no just cause for apprehending any serious efflux. Money is now in more request, owing to the commercial engagements which become due on the 4th inst. These are presumed to be of an exten sive character, and the demand for accommodation has therefore increased, but the effect will only be temporary, and as trade is dull, no material pres sure of business is yet expected in the discount market. Further symptoms of weakness have been expe rienced this morning in the market for English Stocks, which are suffering from the paucity of business consequent upon the uncertainty felt with regard to the progress of political affairs. The set tlement of the account, which will occupy the atten tion of the brokers and dealers during the remainder of the week may also tend to increase the heavy tone now observed, but unless any unforeseen con tingencies arise, there seems very little prospect of any declension of importance, or even a continuance of the existing apathy, when money is so cheap and the tendency of the trade, after the late severe trial, is towards a general improvement. Consols for money and the 4th instant have been 965 t, and they are now 96f and for April 97 to 974. The Ntvr Three per Cents. are 96i to 97, and the Reduced 97 to 971. Bank Stock is 225 to 2264, and India Ditto 2221. Exchequer Bills are 39a. to 425. premium, and India Bonds 265. to 30s. premium. In the Foreign Securities a moderate amount of business has been transacted, and prices are steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1015 102; ditto 4 per Cents., nominal ; Spanish 3 per Cents. 441 ; ditto Passive, 61 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Ceuta. 814 ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 20,E 4 ; Peruvian 45 par Cents., 80f ; Sardinian 5 por Cents., 914 ; and Venezuela 4i per Cents., 334. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 61 ; Mexi can, 20i to 20i ; Peruvian 45 per Cents, 80 to 81 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 56 to 57 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 455 to 461; Russian 5 per Cents., 108 to 110 ex dir. ; Ditto 44 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 44 to 44i ; Ditto New Deferred, 26 to 26i. There has been very little business transacted this morning in the Railway Shar6 l Market, and most of the leading lines show a further depression, at about 5 to 1 per cent. Caledonians and Groat Westerns have receded ss. ; Eastern Counties, I Midland, North-Eastern (York), and South- Eastern, 10s. ; Brighton, North-Western, and South-Western, 15s. ; and Great Northern and North-Eastern (Berwick), 1/.

The authorities of the War-office have determined upon the erection of new barrack accommodation at Bristol, principally with the view of affording suitable quarters to th o numer ous soldiers who are continually pas s i ng th roug h th e c ity, and who have hitherto been billeted upon the inhabitants. Th . Gloucester Hotel has been inspected and approved by the Government officer, and taken upon a lease of 14 years. The staff of the 2d depot battalion stationed at Pembroke have been removed to Colchester, and the whole of the depots now at Pembroke have been formed into one battalion. Experiments have been carried out for some time past in the manufacturing department of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, with a view of ascertaining the best description of smoke-consuming furnaces for use in the Government establishments, for weld ing or melting iron, and so as to comply with the provisions of Lord Palmerston's Act. The plans of Mr. Armstrong and Major Vandeleur, R. A., have during the past fortnight been tested in a competitive form in the Royal gun factories. Two furnaces of equal dimensions were fitted up under the directions of these gentlemen and employed on similar work—namely, forging double-heated blooms from scrap iron. As regards the consumption of smoke they appeareed to be equally efficient, but the resul tin other respects has hitherto been in favour of the latter. The coals consumed and work done during the ordinary working week of 56 hours were— Coals consumed. Blooms made Tons. Cwt. Tons. Cwt.

Vice-Admiral Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., the newly-appointed successor to Admiral Lord Lyons, G.C.8., as Commander-in-Chief of the Mediter ranean fleet, hoisted his flag on board the gunnery ship Excellent, Captain Hewlett, C. 8., at Ports mouth yesterday afternoon, and saluted the Port- Admiral Sir George Seymour with 17 guns, which having been acknowledged with 15 the Excellent struck the flag, and it was struck forthwith to Admiral Faushawe's flagship, the Marlborough, 131, screw three-decker, Captain the Right Hon. Lord F. H. Kerr, which is being fitted out with great alacrity. She got up her steam yesterday, and worked her enginea. She remains in the basin, and has made considerable progress in the rig. Men oome forward for her freely. The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw three decker, was commissioned yesterday at Ports mouth as the depot ship of the ordinary in that harbour, under the command of Capt. H. Eyres ; C. 8., whose officers and crow turn over to her from the old sailing ship St. Vi ncen t . Sh e w ill carry the flag of Bear-Admiral of the White the Hon. G.

The Foyle steamer embarked the depot of the 49th Regiment at Portsmouth yesterday, and left with them for Dublin. Another appointment of to the Queen, the superintendentship of the Royal William Victualling-yard, and of the port of Gibraltar, fall in hand by the promotions consequent upon the death of Vice-Admiral Walpole. Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, C. 8., is now the senior on the active list for promotion. The Falmouth, lighter, Carrick, master, sailed with stores, for taking a party of cau lk ers from that yard to caulk the Orlando, 50, b u ildi ng a t Pena from Pembroke,Dev Davenport on Saturday, broke. In consequence of the long-prevailing easterly winds a very large number of merchant shipping remains in Plymouth Sound wind b oun d. There is no man-of-war in the Sound.

THE CAMP AT COLOHESTRIL—A small draft of the 560 a Regiment has left the camp at Colchester for Southampton, whence the party will proceed to India by the Overland route. The depot of the 6th Foot has returned from Parkhurst, but as it was impossible to find accommodation fcr them in the camp in consequence of is crowded condi tion, the troops were billeted in the town. The same cause has prevented the arrival of the three regiments expected from Chatham, but it is re ported that more troops are to be stationed in the town. Ibe regiments at present in the camp are to be comprised of two battalions. The supply of recruits is extremely good, and detachments con tinue to be forwarded to Laudguard Fort, Harwich, for the purpose of rifle instruction. One of these detachments left on Saturday, It is remarked that a considerable proportion of the recruits which have arrived recently are from manufacturing dis tricts. The coast defences on the eastern side of the kingdom are to be strengthened. The 24 pounders in the batteries of Great Yoi mouth are, it is said, to give place to 74-pounders.

MANSI ON - I3OUSE.—Rob3rt Bates, 60, and Mary Ann Bate s , 58, were brought before the Lord Mayor, cha rge d with begging in t h e Ci ty. A mere pi t if u ly grutes(pie looking pair never stood before the bar of justice, for the male prisoner had two sh or t stumps in the place o f arms, one eye was missing, and hi s f ace on on e sid e was d rawn up from th e e ff ects of a paralytic stroke ; while the female, wh o h e ld in one hand a bi t o f di rty rag, as an apology f or a handkerchief, w i t h which she ever and anon a ff ected carefully to wipe her husband's nose or rem a i n i ng eye, had a singu ' ar comic expres sion of co untenance, the joint production, the prisone rs begging, and upon taking them into appa rently, of n a t ure and drink.

ROYAL COLLEGE: OF SURGEONS. --The fallowing gen tlemen having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma were admitted members of the college, at the meeting of the court of examiners, on the 26th ult.:—Messrs.

'ES, LYCEUM. Miss Helen Faucit's engagement at this house con thanes to attract numerous audiences. She appeared again last night in the character of Lady Macbeth, and was greatly applauded. She is supported very effectively by Mr. C. Dillon as Macbeth. The play is altogether very creditably performed, and Locke's music is given in fine style. ADELPHI. The favourite play of " Rory 011 ore" was revived last night in a style very creditable to the management —the dresses and decorations being tasteful and ap• propriate, and the scenic effects exceedingly ingenious and picturesque. Mr. Barney Williams, though inferior to Tyrone Power, is yet the only effective representa tion of Irish character who has appeared oa the stage since the days of that great artist, and in the hero cf Lover's romantic drama he has found a part perfectly suited to his po were. He plays it with a spirit and energy and discrimination which enable the audience fully to appreciate its rich drollery and wild fantastic humour. It were to be wished, however, that the other actors—remembering that the scene of the play is laid in Ireland, and that the personages are chiefly inhabi tants of that country—would make some slight attempt to imitate Irish character, and to speak in the Irish brogue. It never could have entered into the contem plation of the dramatist that Rory's mother and sister and sweetheart should all act and converse after the manner cf Englishwomen, and that he himself should be the only Irishman amid a multitude of Anglo-Saxons. SURREY. The admirers of high dramatic talent and pare decla mation will be gratified to hear that that favourite tragedienne, Miss Goddard, after a career of the most complete success in the Australian land of gold and adventure, has once more made her appearance before a British public. This gifted lady had long been favour ably known to theatrical fame, prior to her visit to Australia, upon the York circuit. In hailing her advent to the London boards, we predict for Miss Goddard that the debut of last night at the Surrey Theatre will prove the inauguration to a permanent and eminent position upon the metropolitan stage. Miss Goddard is gifted by nature with all the attributes which are so necessary to scenic effect—a fine face, a tall and commanding figure, and a voce the most effective for declamatory purposes, a deep contralto, which is susceptible, however, of remarkable modulation. The thrilling drama of "Lucrezia Borgia," was selected by Miss Goddard for her appearance. Miss Goddard was enthusiastically applauded throughout the piece, and was called for, in front of the curtain, at the conclusion of each successive act. Indeed, the nature and impulse, if we may use the expression, of Miss Goddard's per formance, saves us in her case from the invidious task of comparison. Mr. Creswick sustained the part of Gennaro with his usual correctness and fire, although suffering from a severe attack of bronchitis, f,r which an apology was made to the house in the course of the evening. Without dwelling further upon the dramatic power or the thrilling pathos which this gifted lady evinced last night in her debut before a London audience, we can but repeat, we are of opinion, that Miss Goddard will achieve for herself, that which she clearly merits, a lasting and prominent position upon our national stage. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) been deprived of the benefit of their assistance, I can. not regret that I made such an offer. Having, there fore, been thrown entirely upon the resources of those with whom I was more immediately and intimately t c h o o n u n g e l c lt b ted e , s i t proceed e d t o se l ect such gentlemen as f i t n h e c c h o a u n ngterey oafn qualified W with lecs t re o er d; fill pi ,t, i p ot u no b 1_ .....t i h c aenoid places eeml voe w ree. i th honocr to particularly lti when such changes take place during a session of Perna meat, and still more at an early period of the session— there are always inevitable evils to be encountered. In the first place, at such an important period of the session public business is very inconveniently interrupted from the necessity of new e l ect i ons in the ease of many mem bers of the House of C ommons who may have accepted office. In the next place, some considerable time must elapse before those who are app o i nted to high offices have the opportunity of making themselves masters of the variove details of the departments to which they are called, and of taking up the thread of the tangled skein which may have been left by their predecessors. More especially is this the case with respect to a most import ant department—that of Foreign Affairs, over which my noble friend opposite (Lord Clarendon) has p res id ed so admirably. In some cases, as my noble friend well knows, negotiations and discussions have been pending for a series of years, with the whole details of which the person who succeeds to office must be familiar in order to take them up with advantage. The case is the same with regard to other departments. I understand that my noble friend opposite the late President of the Coun cil (Earl Granville) said the other night that he thought it very desirable that a period of three days should be allowed to her Majesty's Government, in order that they might make themselves masters of the business of their respective departments, and give the house an intimation of the policy which they intended to pursue. If the noble earl made use of those expressions, I must say that I certainly cannot pretend to such a speedy acqui sition of knowledge or such rapidity of execution as may characterise my noble friend— (a laugh) —and I must frankly say that at this moment I peseees a very imper• feet account of what has taken place in the different departments, and of the state in which they were found by the present Government. But, my lords, knowing the vast drain which there must have been upon our military resources in consequence of the un fortunate war in India, and fearing what might have been the result of that unusual demand upon the re sources of this country, which undoubtedly never pre tended to be a first-rate military Power, I did feel great anxiety to ascertain what was the state of the numerical I force of the army and the condition of the War Depart ment ; and I should do an act of groat injustice to the noble baron opposite (Lord Panmure) and to the illustrious Duke (the Duke cf Cambridge) the Corn mandenic-Chief if I did not say that it has not only afforded me thegreatest satisfaction, but also the greatest surprise and pleasure, to find, after all the drain that has taken place, how respectable a numerical force is still in hand within the limits of the United Kingdom. (Loud °luring.) I recollect the state of affairs when I took office in 1952, and in contrasting the numerical strength of the army—and I may probably add it: efficiency—in 1858, notwithstanding all the demands that have been made upon our forces, with what it was in 1352, I say, in the first place, that it affords me an agreeable surprise to find the amount of military ardour and of readiness to enter the service exhibited among the population of this country, and I must add tbat the change which Las taken place within the past six years reflects the greatest credit upon the Governments which have held office during that period. (Chess.) So ling as the unfortunate war in lodic continues there must, no doubt, be a heavy drain upon the military resources of this country ; but I trust, my lords, although much remains to be done— althoueh out leboure are not yet drawing to a close—that we are beginning to see a favourable turn of events, and that the operations of Sir Colin Ce.mribtll, following upon those of the gallant officers who preceded him, have relready struck terror into the great body of the insurgents. Much uecpies tionahly remains to be done ; and I do net entertain for a moment any doubt that the continued exer tions of the gallant troops of her Majesty, aided by the cordial support of the people of this coun try, will, at no distant period, put down the fcrrnidable insurrection which has lately raged and which still rages, in some parts of India, and that her Majesty's Government will then have leisure, both here and in India, to apply themselves to the far Inure agreea.tle task of the pacification and reorganisationif that vast portion of her Majesty's dominions. The no counts which we have received v. ithin the last day er two from the coast of China lead us to expect that the unfor tunate war in that country—if, indeed, it is to be called a war—at all even's, that the unfortunate operations in that country will be brought to a , p - mciy termination. Those operations, undoubtedly, are not unfortunate in their conclusion, so far as we have arrived at a conclu sion ; but I cannot but entertain the same opinion as I formerly expressed—namely, that the wear was entered into unadvisedly and upon insufficient ground. I never denied, and do not now deny, that we had eraple cause of complaint against, and of qu arre l w ith , t h e C h i nese authorities ; and, as we have taken the course of cm ployieg military force to bring the Chinese to submis sion, 1 cannot but c:rdis.ily rejoice at the 5 uccess which has hitherto attended her Majesty's arms. The best result of that euccess, however, I conceive will be, that it will give us the opportunity—standing in such a position towards China—of cAacludiug with the least possible delay a safe and honourable peace—(cheere)-- and will enable us to resume the benfits and advantages of that commercial intercourse for which alone it can be of the slightest advantage to us to maintain any commu nication whatever with such a country. The idea of territorial aggr ssion, and of acquisition of power, the ( idea of doing users than obtaining adequate security for carrying on freely peaceful commerce will, I trust, never enter the head of any Minister who conducts the affairs of this empire. (Cheers.) I now approach a most important portion of the statement which I have to submit to your lordships, but with one exception I may deal with it in very general terms. I trust, my lords, that in conducting the foreign policy of this ccun try our aim evil be to maintain friendly relations with all Powers, great and small, with which we are brought into contact. I trust we shall main tain those relations without adopting either a tone of haughty intimidation or a tone of servile submission towards any government. I hope that we shall carry on intercourse frankly and unreservedly with foreign Powers ; that we shall carefully abstain from any inter ference whatever with the purely domestic affairs of any of them ; and that if, in any instance, a cause of differ ence should arise, we shall in plaice as we should in private life, seek the fimt opportunity of arranging such differences by means of frank and unreserved but amica ble communications. My lords, if there should still remain, from that conflict in which several important Powers were engaed some years sines, any animosity between ourselves and that great empire with which we were at war, I trust such a feeling may rapidly and en tirely subside, and that our relations with that Pewer may speedily resume —if, indeed, they have not already resumed—the friendship and cordiality by which they ss ere formerly marked. I hope, however, I shall not be regarded as unduly depreciating the value of our alhance with any country if 1 hero express my firm conviction m cv i u t t h u a w l, h v i e c l h f a , r t e n o a t ti • e d t than thane advantage h a e t r i! i t t h i e s r z e () b e e , s o s n a r e y c f o c u r n o t r u j i : of the world that we should maintain a per manent good understanding, that country is our nearest and most powerful neighbour—the great empire of France. (Loud cheers.) The geographical position of the two countries, the facility and constancy of inter. course between their populations, their force respectively at sea and on land, render their harmonious un'on almost a pledge and guarantee for the peace of the world, while those circumstances also render quarrel or coolness be tween the two powers a matter of danger which may involve alarming consequences to the world at large. My lords, for France this country can have but one desire, —that, remaining upon friendly terms with us, she should have within herself all the means of c mtentment, wealth, and prosperity. There is no country in the world blessed with greater natural advantages, none more fortunate in position and in climate ; and if there be one thing which is alone sufficient to make her and to keep her great, powerful, mighty, and happy, it is the absence within her own bosom of poli tical convulsions. With regard to foreign countries, the peculiar form of government which best suits the • people is, if not a matter of indifference to te7, at all events one into which we have no cause or right to inquire. Be it a limited monarchy, be it a republic, be it an empire, that Government is best for France which beet suits the disposiwtihoent,etyheer hbaebittsh,eagnodyetrhneroaeffne:tiiotnies of of tvhaestpiemopploe ; rtau li c u e ll to France, and it is hardly of secon dary importance to Europe, that the government should not be liable to perpetual change, but should enjoy a condition of permanence and stability. My lords, to. wards the maintenance of such permanence and stability I believe the life of that remarkable roan who, elected by the voice of the French people, now presides over the destinies of that country is of great and paramount importance. I will not go so far as to say that civil anycom mfaotatilonetatenmdpdtisotuprobo th anc e e wlifoeuoldf his e ev l i m tably follow upon But this I do sae, that his absence from pthereiahlelMajmoefstthye. State would at this present time seriously endanger the new-born tranquillity which that country now enjoys, and which for the last six years it has enjoyed under his Government. Therefore, my lords, it was with a feeling as if all mankind had escaped a great danger —as if Europe was freed from an imminent peril by the special interposition of Providence—that the news was received of the late escape of his Imperial Majesty from a foul and murdeross design. (Hear, hear.) I need not rectal to your lordships the circumstances under which that dastardly attempt took place. Those circumstances must have made too strong an impression en your minds to require any such recital. Suffice it, my lords, to say that there was not one single attribute of aggravation by which a parallel atrocity could be attended that was not present in the details of this horrible crime. (Hear, hear.) It was not only that by the basest means a highly important life was aimed a', but if you look at the time and the place in which the attempt was made— v i z , w h en hi s Majestyt the was proceeding to the opera-house and had arrived door of the theatre in one of the most crowded a of Paris, surrounded by loyal subjects na ilin g dention eiasm, their Emperor with acclamation an Imperial partner of the 1n31 3 ° above all, when at his side was a worDaD, and an his throne, exposed as a wife, l leCtebresterted her august t 0 r ' e t c r e e i e v t : Empress to all thedangers w a my lor consort, you will se e , . t to deepen the guilt of those 0 , that no circumstance of aggravation was circumstances,7i-aLI-lug committed the atrocious a of hie Imperial Ma. act of throwing un tie most formidable and deadly dm,! jesty weapons °fbea.) who, under such der The hand of Providence was racter.

A Committee cf Consultation was ap pointed three months back, and these gentlemen having refused, it is said, to consult or 00-eperate with the directors, tke latter have appealed to the proprietary at large. The committee claim the power of calling for books and papers, and summoning agents, surveyors, and solicitors from Scotland and eltea here, to be Exa mined by them in private. The directors make no ob jection to the production of all that may be required, but insist that an equal number of members of the board shall take part in the investigation. At a recent general meeting the dispute was submitted for decision by the proposal of two rcsoltvions, one of confidence in the directors, and the other in the committee. The verdict was in favour of the directors, the committee being con sidered to have exceeded their powers, but the majority was small and a poll was demanded, which will be taken on Thursday next.—Times.

In mmsequence of the announcement that Lord Derby would this evening make a statement to the house i Illative to his future policy, the avenues leading to the House of Lords were crowded at an early hour, and this otherwise desolate part of the gorgeous building presented signs of animation of an no usual character. The vestibule leading to the b use was densely crowded long before 4 o'clock: by persons anxiously waiting for admission to the str angers' gallery —a small space, scarcely large enough to hold 50 persons. A number of elegantly dressed ladies, members of the families of di,tin guished. peers, tool: their seats in the ladies' gallery long before 5 o'clock. The portions of the house allotted to members of the lower house were crowded to excess. 31r. Dallas, the American Minister, was present, and occupied a seat in the ladies' gallery. The apace in front of the throne was crowded by members of the lower house, and some peers and their friends. Lord Chelmsford (Sir Faderic Thesiger) arrived at a quarter to five o'clock, and took his seat on the woolsack, when he received the cordial congra tulations of his friends on both sides of the house on his elevation_ to the distinguished office of Lord Chancellor. Among the earliest arrivals of peers on the Opposition side of the house, wire Lord Granville, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Marquis of Clanricarde, Earl Shaftesbury, Lord Panmure, Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Newcastle, the Duke of A rgyll, Earl of Clarendon, and Earl Grey. Lord Wensleydale, Lord Redesdal e , Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell a l so arrived at an early-hour. On the Ministerial side of the house, the Earl of Hardwicke, Marquis Salisbury, and Lord Colchester were amongst the earliest arrivals of those connected with the new Government. The attendance of peers, on the whole, was much less than might hare been mpected. Lord Darby entered the house at 10 minutes past 5 o'clock, carrying in his hand the official red box. He took his seat in the centre of the Ministerial bench with out any manifestation of feeling. He was followed by the Earl of Eilenborough, the Earl of Malmesbury, and other members of his Cabinet. Lord BROUGHAM addressed the house, observing he should best consult the interest of the house by put tinge question to the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs relative to the slave trade on the coast of Cuba. On repeating his question, it was met with another outburst of feeling, when his lordship, in the most indignant manner, said that if it were repeated a third time means would be taken to clear the house of all but their lordships. He asked if the annual returns about the slave trade would be ready before Easter I The Earl of MALMESBURY said he hoped they would be ready by that time. THE MANIFESTO OF THE NEW GOVERN. MENT. The Earl of DERBY then rose and said—l hope, my ords, that in asking your permission on Friday evening ,o postpone until this day the statement which constitu ,ional usage requires from those who fill the situation in which I have now the honour to stand, I shall not have been thought guilty of any disrespect to your lordships. (Hear) On the contrary, considering that during the whole of last week I was engaged day and night in mak ing those personal arrangements which are necessary on the formation of a new Government—a task which I had not previously the slightest idea of being called on to un dertake—and that consequently I had not a single mr went for reflection on any matter not immediately con nected with those perEenal arrangements; and consider log, too, the great importance of the subject, I thought it was mere respectful to your lordships that, having only just acceded to office, and having only departed from the presence of her Majesty at half-past 4 o'clock, I shouli not come down here at 5 o'clock to lay before your lordships what must necessarily, under the circum stances, have been a crude and imperfect statement. (Hear, hear.) Believe me, my lords—and I say it with all sincerity—l address your lordships from this place on the present occasion with no feeling of triumph or exul tation. lam overwhelmed with the sense of my own incompetency to perform duly the arduous task which lee before me. lam overwhelmed with the sense of the magnitude of the difficulties which I must encounter, and of the questions with which I have to deal; but my satisfaction, my c nsolation, in feeling myself so unable to deal adequately with those great questions is, that indulgence will be extended by your lordships and by the country to ono who, having been called suddenly to office by the favour of his Sovereign, has certainly sought for it by no unworthy means, and by no underhand intrigues. (Loud cheers.) Befo e proceeding to enter upon public questions, I behave it will be proper that I should remind your lordships of the course of eventi which have placed me in my present position. Your lordships will all remember that last Friday se'nnight a vote of the House of Commons taken in a full House resulted in a majority of 19 against the then Government upon a motion which, in point of fact, in • volved a vote, if not of censure, at least of disapproval of the course which had been pursued by the Govern ment upon a matter of great importance. Into the substance of that rnoticn I will not at present enter, though it will be my duty so to do before sitting down ; but I rejoice to think, my lords, that, although that majority was composed of parties certainly not usually in the habit of acting together in concert, but entertain ing different opinions upon most subjects, I have not heard from any quarter upon the present occasion any of those taunts of combination and coalition which were so freely poured forth upon e similar occasion last year. (Rear.) For myself, I must confess that I never was taken more by surprise than by the vote of Friday week, and for those with whom I have the honour of acting I can only say that there was net the smallest step taken for the purpose even of securing attendance, or for inviting a single member to remain in his place. (Hear.) Tee Government having been thus placed in a minority of 19 acted in accordance with constimtional usages in at once tendering their resignations to her Majesty, and her Majesty, as I understand, at once accepted those resignations. I believe that the noble viscount lately at the head of the Government was with ker Majesty at 5 o'clock on the Saturday, and in the course of that evening her Majesty did me the honour cf summoning me to her presence. With her Majesty's gracious p:r mission I will venture to state what took place during that interview. Her Majesty having been pleased to infcrm me that she had accepted the resignation of her late servants called upon me for my advice as to the course which she ought to pursue, and asked me whether, looking to the circumstances of the case, I was willing to undertake the responsibility of forming an Administration. In reply to that gracious intimation, I took the liberty of requesting her Majesty not to press for an answer to her question on that day, and I then proceeded to lay before her Majesty as fully and clearly as I could, without partiality and with out any bias, what I conceived to be the state of political parties in the House of Commons—an element in the question which I thought her Majesty ought to have clearly presented to her. I entreated her Majesty t 3 take till the following day to consider whether she would think it expedient to call me to her councils, and I stated that if upon reflection ate should st It continue o f t h at i opinion my sense of public duty would render it impera tive on me to attempt to execute the task which she was pleased to intrust to me. (Cheers.) But at the same time I felt bound to add, that if upon full consideration her Majesty should he of opinion that any other person would be better qualified to form a sound and stable Government for the country, she should not for a single moment consider my position, feelings, or inte res t, b u t tides the course which u p on reflectionf she should deem most advantageous for the country. (Cheers.) On the following morning I had the honour of receiving a note from her Majesty, informing tee that further reflection bad fully confirmed her in wishing me to accept office, and I felt then that I had no course to pursue but hum bly to submit myself to her Majesty's pleasure. (Hear, hear.) It may be said that in taking that course I acted with precipitation and rashness, but I venture humbly to think that I was called on to act as I did by every sentiment of loyalty and public duty. (Cheers.) Having taken upon myself the responsibility of forming an Admi nistration, my next care was to endeavour so to form it as to secure the largest portion of Parliamentary support. My lords, I do not share in the opinion which wa s expressed some three years ago by a noble earl t nown his place, that the state of parties in this country such that any combination might reasonably parties be expect ed and that the leaders of all the great political et. I do pryect wasi ed might sit harmoniously in the same Cabin not go as far as that, but it is undoubtedly true his that, as compared with former period p s ar o ti f es our the tory, the line of separation bet w een drawn than State is much less sharply a l 1 . 2 d e d n ii t t a ir e c e ti p Y u bl i op i ion, Par it used to be. (Hear.) i formerlyvi d e d b y which Parliament represents, the broad lines of demarreeatl to a ar erD w h n i h o lo ng e r ge were r d separated by vast numbers of accustomed, bukthheyha it is scarcely possible strictly to dsmefittelle.gradPeartsioonnaswcallethemselves nowadays by so many different names--Tories , Conservatives, Liberal-C on - Li xervat i ves , Whigs, berals, and Radicals ; and such a re the niceties of distinction between some o f th ese nam es that I believe there are no inconsiderable number of members in the House Commons,of ofind it difficult to say and perhaps i n your lordships' house too, who W the closest w i th which of all these they haves y mp a th y . (A laugh.) The state of parties is very like the distinc tions of the various grades of rank in society at large. There ais • broad interval between the highest and the lowest, but the gradation by which one melts into the other is so imperceptible that it is difficult with regard to social rank and to political parties in the State to say precisely where one commences and another ends. But I did think that, desiring to form a Government upon a basis which should be Conservative in the truest sense of the word, but at the same time not indisposed to measures of progressive improvement, I might hope to obtain the assistance of those eminent persons who, not belonging to the Government which we have succeeded, shared to such a degree the opinions of the Conservative party that they might not be deemed guilty of any in consistency in associating themselves with me in the difficult task which I had undertaken. Thus thinking, I applied to a right hon. gentleman and to two noble lords, members of your lordships' house, who I conceived might not be indisposed to render me their assistance .e in framing such a Government as I have described. They did not, however, deem it ecin c s a ie n t n e: t t , w it h of course, position to afford me such aid.
