The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 9th June is of a rather satisfactory character. The late shipments of specie to the continent have caused a decline in the bullion to a small exent ; the reserve of notes, however, shows a small augmentation, and the other securities show a reduction of about 158,000/., exhibiting very little improvement in the general trade of the country. In the Public Deposits there is an in crease of over half-a-million, but in the Private Deposits there is a diminution to about a similar amount. The active circu!ation shows a decrease of about a quarter of a million. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is no change requiring special oomment ; they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active circulation Decrease 338.165 Bullion 1 0 8 2 2 0, 8 9 5 4 5 4 Decrease rest Increase Publics deposits Increase .. 634,806 Other deposits 13,754,354 Decrease Seven-day and other bills . Increase 23.846 Government securities Increase Other securities .. 14,626,191 Decrease Notes unemployed Increase The demand for discount accommodation is rather more active, and 21 per cent. is now about t he current rate for the negotiation of good com nlercial paper. The joint-stock banks are obtaining an increase of business, and although the applications at the Bank of England were still very limited, the tendency of the money market is evidently in the • direction of higher terms. Some time may elapse befor e the minimum is altered, but as the terms out of doors are so much under the official rates, there is plenty of room for variation before that Point is attained. The arrival has been announced at SUez of the Australian mail, with 114,000/. Advices are also received of the departure from the colony of the Royal Charter, with 94,000 oz. of gold on board, valued at 376,000/. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed 'frith rather a dull appearance, and prices were un altered. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, ,0 00 of which were taken on speculation and for ezport. The English Stcck Market is very flat, and the neactions, though limited,:are of an unfavourable character. At the close the quotations appeared h e avY Consols being 95i 96 ex-dividend for ("cceunt. There is now an uneasy feeling lest some collision should take place between American at id English vessels before instructions arrive out fro m our Government.

At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel in this case, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindereley.) MOTIONS FOE ADJOURNMENT.-WRIGHT V. WILKIE. There were two motions in this case. The first was to restrain the defendant from tampering with the witnesses in this cause, under the examination of a special commis sioner at King's Lynn, and to commit him to prison for contempt of Court, for illegally interfering with the wit nesses while under examination. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, after considering the affidavits of the plaintiff's Attorney's clerk, and others who attended the examination of the witnesses, came to the conclusion that thera was not sufficient evidence produced to support this motion. His Honour dismissed this motion without costs. The second motion embraced a variety of points. The defendant asked his Honour, first, to authorise the commissioner to examine the witnesses not with shut doore, but with open court; second, to allow him to cross-examine his witnesses as adverse witnesses in the causes ; and third, to allow a shorthand writer to attend and take down the examination and cross-examination of the witnesses in shorthand. His Honour did not see any grounds whatever for granting this motion ; there never was a more frivolous , motion brought before him. His Honour dismissed this motion with costs. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) PETITION FOR JUDGMENT.-DIXON V. GATFERE. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said that he had looked into the papers with a view of giving judgment in this case, but in doing so he found his difficulty in- creased on the point in dispute between the parties ; he would therefore consult the late Lord Chancellor ou the subject and his notes or recollection of the facts of the case might, perhaps, clear up the difficulty, and his Honour would give judgment on a future day. Judgment postponed. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Mr. Jastiee Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton.) THE QUEEN V. THE TAUNTON BURIAL GROUND— CONSECRATION. The court this morning declared judgment in the case relative to burial grounds being in a fit state for conse. cration. The question arose in consequence of the Bishop of Exeter's objection to consecrate a portion of the Taunton burial ground, because the Burial Board had erected a wall of but 12 inches high, instead of four feet as required by his lordship as a line of demarcation between the consecrated and unconsecrated portions of the burial ground. Lord Campbell, in delivering, the judgment of the Court, said that in this case a mandamus has been issued, requiring the Taunton burial ground to set apart a portion of the burial ground for consecration for the interment of bodies according to the rights of the united churches of England and Ireland. The burial ground contended that they had set aside a fit and suitable pl tee for such interrneete, to which the bishop demurred. The result of the finding of the jury as to that portion of the Tannton burial ground to be set apart for consecration, was in all respects fit for such consecration, except that a wad of four feet high by way of a fence had not been erected between the consecrated and unconsecrated portions of the burial-ground. The Court was to assume there was an external fence around the whole of the burial -ground, sufficient to protect it from the intrusion of animals and all desecration, and the question was whether there ought to be a similar fence between the two portions of the burial-ground. The special verdict of the jury found that the por tion to be consecrated was marked off by the said burial hoard from the portion set aside as unconsecrated ground by a well 12 inches high from the ground, mark ing off and defining the said portion of the ground a• set apart f r consecrated from the unconsecrated portion, and that the earns was a mark suitable to mark off and define ouch portions. The verdict went on to state that the refusal to consecrate wag because the wall was not more than 12 inches high. The neces sity of a proper fence around parish churchyards was enforced in one of the canons cf the Church, and burial grounds were provided under the 15th and 16th Vic., cap. 85, and the Court had to decide the question en the principles of law involved in recent legis lation on the subject, and was it to be said that a wall 12 inches high ism not a mark or distinction suitable to mark off or define the consecrated from the unconsecrated portion of the burial-ground, Such a mark communi cated to the sexton, the parishioners (both Churchmen and Dissenter), and all others interested, the distinction between the two portions, and it was unneceesary to decide if the canon requiring a fence round a burial yard was ap plicable to the case. An external wall had been provided, giving security against tresepass and desecration, and the Court much regretted that since the passing of the 20 & 21 Vic., chap. 81, which was intended to put an end to all such controversies, that they should be oalled on to decide how the law should be administered, with a view either to the coats in these proceedings or in jug tification of any miserable party feeling ; hit they were bound to discharge their duty, and they gave judg ment for the defendants. Judgment accordingly. RETIREMENT OF MR. JUSTICE COLERIDGE. Mr. Justice Coleridge, it is understood, will retire this afternoon from the bench—it being the last day of term, and be has no desire to take part in the after term nisi Arius sittings. It is believed that, on the rising of the court, the Attorney-Gener a l will express the estimation of the bar at his courteous conduct to wards them when on the bench, and their regret at the loss of his valuable services. Mr. Justice Celeridge has always been considered a sterling lawyer, and it is satis • factory to know that he w ill b e succeeded by a gentle semen whose reputation a s a soun d l awyer stands pre tly high areong the profession. ADMISSION OF ATTORNIES. Upwards of 30 at'ornies were sworn in this morning. Above 50 were sworn in yesterday, meshing, this term, 80 admissions, about the average number. There is every term about 30 gentlemen called to the bar, snaking annually an average of 320 admissions of attor nies and about 120 calls to the bar, or rather more than two atter:lies and a half to one barrister. The ninth annual meeting of the friends of this institu tion was held yesterday at Willie's Rooms King-street St- James's. , , There was a full attendance of ladies and gentlemen, and on the platform we observed the Rev. G. Sanby, Dr. Elliotson, Nottage, Esq., C. S. Hall, Esq., G. Crnik shank, Esq., Capt. Hudson, Majendie, Esq., Monckton Milnes, Dc., M.P., Dr. Collier, Dr. Purland, &c. Dr. ELLIOTS ON i n f ormed the meeting that Lieut.-Col. Sir Wm. Topham, who had been announced to fill the chair, having received her Majesty's commands to attend the levee that afternoon, he would be unable to attend, and, therefore, he moved that the Rev. George Sandby should preside over the meeting. The motion was put and carried unanimously. The Rev. GEORGE SANBY, who was received with loud cheers, said he exceedingly regretted the absence of Sir William Topham, because he felt assured it would have afforded the greatest pleasure to the meeting to have had that gallant gentleman amongst them. He also regretted his absence on mesmeric grounds, because Sir William had been one of the oldest and stanchest supporters of mes merism from its earliest days. In 1842, when mesmerism was most strongly opposed, Sir William Topham was the mesmeriser in a very important surgical operation. (Hear, hear.) Be need not tell the meeting at that time it re quired great courage to do so. In these days of chloroform it would beconsidered but a minor point to effect a surgical - operation under the influence of mesmerism, but in 1842, the idesof insensibility to pain was laughed and sneered at. The first operation under the influence of mesmerism oc curred in that year. It was an amputation of the thigh, and, as he had informed the meeting, Sir W. Topham was the mesmeriser, and to undertake such a task, and in such an important operation, required the greatest courage and fortitude. (Hoar, hear.) The operation was q u it e suc cessful. (Loud cheers.) Sir William forwarded a full report of the case to the " Medico-Chirurgical Society," and he had also the firmness to face all the most celebrated medical and surgical authorities in London at the time. But how was he received ? Some sneered at him, some called for affidavits to be taken before the Lord Mayor, and not a few said the man bad been trained to undergo the operation— (laughter)—stnd that he was an impostor. Events, however, had proved that all Sir Wm. Topham then stated had been verified to the letter. (Cheers.) He congratulated the meeting on the position mesmerism had now taken when compared to that of former years, when it was looked upon as a satanic agency. (Laughter.) They had an admirable institution, the ninth anni versary of which they were then celebrating, firm friends, increasing funds, and patients so numerous that the present stiffof mesmerisers was found utterly in adequate to attend to more than half the applications for relief. The last time he attended the council, on arriving at the institution, he found the hall so crowded that it was with difficulty he threaded his way through the number of applicants, and he was informed that such was the case on every occasion of their meeting. He felt exceedingly rejoiced that the poor testified to the truth of his asser tion that mesmerism was the work of God, and were not too proud to ask its assistance; and he only wished he could say as much for the highly educated and highly scientific portions of the community. They were too proud of their scientific knowledge and academical honours to inquire into the t ru th or f a ll acy o f so s i mp l e a curative I power ; and yet he boldly and firmly asserted that this beneficent gift was in the hands of all persons of good health. (Hear, hear.) He recollected some time ago a friend of hie came to him, and holding a pamphlet which he (the chairman) had written on the subject, said —" In this book you say that mesmerism was the gift of a merciful creator, and your book is full of diabolical notions, these are very strong expressions for you to express ;" but he (the chairman) informed his friend that they were strong expressions, and he meant to express himself strongly, as he felt strongly on the question. (Cheers.) Results had fully proved the truth of all the assertions he had advanced in support of mesmerism, and when he saw the poor mothers thanking the officers of the institution for the great benefits conferred on their children, and wives returning thanks for their husbands, he was not afraid to say in spite of all the College of Surgeons that mesmerism was the gift of a gracious God. (Loud cheers.) He would now call upon Dr. Brown to read the report. Dr. BROWN then read a very lengthy report, which stated that the number of those who wished for the reme dial agency of mesmerism was now very great, and that the visitors of the institution were newr so numerous as at present. Complaints were raised against the systematic professional opposition carried on to mesmerism, the me dical journals never noticing mesmeric 'seek-, whatever might be their merits, nor reporting the great cures, alle viations, and painless operations which were published by the mesmeric world, and this opposition was also privately carried on with patients and their friends. Tho members of the infirmary were not so weak as to believe that mesme rism could cure every kind of disease, but numberless cases were constantly occurring in which it was efficacious in diseases which were fatal, uncured, or unalleviated under the ordinary measures. Several proofs were then related of the power of mesmerism in a number of cases, many of which had withstood other measures. At the time of the last report 41 patients were attached to the infirmary ; since then there had been 210 more, so that 251 hal been treated during the year. Of these 40 were under treat ment at present, 126 had been cured or improved, and 85 had boon unimproved ; but of the latter number 51 came but a few times, seven once, four twice, 24 less than a week, and 16 less than a fortnight. It was said that mira cles were often expected from mesmerism, and that the applicants were generally those who had left other chari ties and medical men without having received any benefit and had chronic diseases. Mr. NOTTA.GE said ho had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the report. It was a source of gratification to know that the truth of mesmerism was now fully estab lished, and if they were asked what it had done they had only to point to theirnoble institution. (Cheers.) It was much to be regretted that numbers had to be turned from the doors for want of mesmerisers, and what he advised all present to do was to increase the list of annual sub scribers. (Hear, hear.) They were the sinews of all charitable institutions, and if the meeting only followed his example they would soon have an increase in their funds. He had made up his mind to procure at least one new annual subscriber, and if he did not succeed ho in tended to pay the additional subscription himself. (Cheers.) With increased subscriptions they would be enabled to employ additional mesmerisers, and thus decrease the number of applicants who were now compelled to quit the institution unrelieved. He could not resume Ws seat without alluding to Dr. Elliotson. (Cheers.) His un tiring energy, and undaunted perseverance had made the institution what it was. (Loud cheers.) He had made this institution his great care, and there he was daily to be seen uniting with his unequalled skill, as a-physielan, the kindliness of the man. (Cheers.) Mr. S. C. HALL seconded the adoption of the report, and in doing so, said ho had very much to learn upon the subject of mesmerism, and nothing to communicate. He had been convinced of the truth of mesmerism but a short time, but he felt he should have been guilty of moral cowardice if he had not come forward and thus publicly announced an entire change in his previous belief. (Cheers) The prejudice that existed in the minds of some with respect to mesmerism was as unfair as it was unjust—(hear, hear)- -but by this time it was perfectly well known that any man proposing a new principle was sure to be met with opposition. It was well known that the great Sir Walter Scott was of the opinion that a city could not be lit with gas, and yet he lived to be chairman of a gas company. (Cheers and laughter.) Then, again, he need only point to Dr. Jenner, the great discoverer of vaccination. No man had been more misrepresented and sneered at than he had been, yet but a few days ago a statue had been raised to his honour. He thought it was the duty of every person con vinced of the truth of mesmerism to make it known by their pens, their tongues, and every other means most available. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then put the adoption of the report to the meeting, and declared it carried unanimously. Mr. Moteme'roer MILNES moved the election of the fol lowing four gentlemen to the council—viz., Mr. S. Carter Hall, Mr. Alex. Mitchell, Mr. James Salmon, and Mr. Wing. He said he always felt a pleasure in a tt en di ng the anniversaries of the Mesmeric Infirmary, because he felt confident that it was doinggreat and incalculable good. (Hear, hear.) He strongly advised the supporters of the institution not to relax in their endeavours to extend its usefulness, for one of the most fatal things that could befall any public institution was indifference to its welfare by its oldest and firmest friends. (Cheers.) Dr. PURLAND, in seconding the resolution, said in 1842 no person could have been a greater opponent of mesmerism than he. In a year he became a steadfast believer, and in six months afterwards he performed one of the most wonderful operations under the mesmeric influence ever known, via., to remove ten teeth and two stumps from the mouth of a lady without pain. (Cheers.) It was a source of gratification that the infirmary was in so flourish. ing a condition. They had as good a balance at the bank as former years, and as great a number of annual sub scribers, but what was wanted was an increase of mes merists and to obtain these increased subscriptions were absolutely necessary. If one or two additional mesmerisers could be appointed, 40 or 50 additional cases could be attended to per week. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. GEORGE CRUICKSHANK moved the re-election of the auditors. He said he considered the question as to the ex istence of mesmerism settled. If the medical profession thought it was an error, why did they not come forward and prove it? (Cheers.) Mr. MAJENDIE, in a few remarks, second the resolution, which was put to the meeting, and carried. Dr. ELLIOTXON said, no doubt it would be interesting to the meeting to know that the lad Isley Rowlands had quite recovered from epilepsy. The boy had had three attacks he predicted, but had never had another, and is now in perfect health and apprenticed to Mr. J. 0. Smith, mast and block-maker, of Fore-street, Limehouse. in September, two months after he left us, his mother ob served his manner to be altered : that he slept badly and seemed silly. Like a sensible woman, she brought him to us again. William Fisher mesmerised him, and he was com pletely himself again before the end of the month. This disturbance of his mi n d h a d b een p r oduced by his being frequently thrown into the mesmeric state, and tricks played upon him in it, at school, after he had left us. He would just refer to another case which had been treated during the p as t year, it was the case of James Churchill of Barnes Elms, Putney- He had been under the parish doctor for paralysis, who had given him up as incur a ble, and in three months h e was completely cured by mesmerism. The parish doct or , to whom he had shown himself, denied that mesmerism had cured him. " But here lam cured," replied Churchill, "all the medicine I have taken has done me no good. You said there was no cure for me. I have been mesmerised, not taken medicine during the time, and here I st an d cured l " " Well, well," answered the facetious doctor, if I were to mesmerise any one and cure him by it, I should be drummed out of the profession.' This patient ever since has been able to work, and is the wonder' of the place. Several gentlemen then addressed the meeeting on the benefits arising from mesmerism, and the interesti ng pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair man GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION. —Her Majesty's Emigra tion Commissioners chartered three ships yestsroay afternoon, the 10,11 inst.—viz., the Elienborough, 1,031 tons, at 101. 12s. per statute adult ; the John Duncan, 970 tons, at 91. 81. 9d. ; and the Plantagenet, 806 tons, at 10/. 12.. ; to be ready at Calcutta on the let and 31st of January and the 15th of February, respectively, to British Guiana or convey Coolie emigrants to either Trinidad, as may be decided on.

Lord REDESDALE took his seat on the woolsack , in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, at 5 o'clock. THE CAGLIARI. The Earl of MALMESBURY said last evening a noble earl (Airlie) put a question to me as to whether any final communication had been received from the King of Naples respecting the application of her Majesty's Government for compensation to two British engineers. I was unable to give au answer last evening ; and as the noble earl gave notice of his inten tion to put the question at another time, I am happy in being enabled to inform him and thus save him the trouble, that we have just received information that the King of Naples has paid to Her Majesty's Government the sum of 3,0001. as compensation, and that without the slightest condi tion. (Hear, hear.) The Neapolitan Government had also given up the ship Cagliari and the whole of her crew into the hands of her Majesty's Government. (Hear, bear.) The Earl of CLARENDON—I have heard the noble earl's statement with great pleasure, but I wish to know whether I understand the noble earl correctly, that the Cagliari has been given up to her Majesty's Government, whether it should not have been the Sardinian Government ? (Hear.) The Earl of MALMESBURY_The Cagliari and the whole of her crew have been given up for disposition to the British Government. (Hear, bear.) In reply to a question from Lord CAMPBELL, The Earl of MALMESBURY ,said the controversy between the three countries, England, Naples, and Sar dinia he now looked upon as settled, (Hear, hear.) DESPATCHES FROM INDIA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said he had been informed that the Government had received very im• portant despatches from India, he wished to know whether the noble earl (Derby) would have any objec tion to lay them on the table ? The Earl of DERBY said it was quite true such de spatches had been received, but he had not yet had an opportunity of reading them. If the noble earl would put the question to him on Monday evening, he would give him an answer. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION ABOLITION BILL. Earl FORTESCUE moved that the house go into committee upon this bill. Earl GREY moved that it be an instruction to the committee to amend the bill by the introduction of clauses a,holi,,hing the privilege of freedom from arrest now en joyed by members of Parliament. - Lord - CAMPBELL thought the present time very inopportune to introduce such an amendment, which might lead to the arrest of a gentleman going to Parlia ment to attend to his duty. Earl STANHOPE a.bo objected to the proposed clause. Earl GRANVILLE slid the question raised by the noble earl (Grey) was a very important one, but he thought the best way to deal with it was to introduce a distinct bill on the subject. The Earl of DERBY said, whatever connection there might be between the abolition of the property qualifi cation of members of Parliament and the freedom trorn arrest, it was not so close as to render it absolutely ❑ecessary tLat it should bo considered in conjunction with the present bill. Earl GREY refused to withdraw his motion, which was then put and negatived without a division. The bill passed through committee, and was reported without amendment. EArl FORTESCUE said he proposed to take the third reading on Monday ncxt. Their lurthhip3 then adjqurned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The Srmuum took the chi:ir at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, Sir DE LACY EVANS gave notice for Monday n(x*, of an address to her Maje6ty relative to emigration to the Cape ( f Good Hope. LUNATIC AS? LUMS COMMISSION (IRELAND) Mr. MACARTNEY asked the Chief Secretary for Irel.ltl whether there was any proNpeot of the lab , 3ura of the Lunatic Asylums Cmimission (Ireland) being brought to a close, so that the report might be laid upon the table previous to I,t July Lord NAAS said the committee were still sitting, but ho expected their labours wculd close at the end of the week, and he hoped the repirt would be in the hands of members by the first week in July. ANNEXATION OF DHAR. Mr. J. B. SMITH asked the President cf the Beard of Control whether the Government had decided on con firming or disallowing the annexation of the Princi pality of Dhar; and, iu case the Government had de. tided on the above que,tion, ;vhether it would produce copies of the correspondence a hich had t....ken place on the eubject ? Lord STANLEY said the despatch concerning the determination of the Government in reference to the matter was in course of preparation, but it bad not yet gone out. It was the intention of her 'Majesty's Gr cerement to disavow the policy of annex ition as regarded the territory of Dhar. (Llear, hear ) Toe present occupation of that territory was only provisional, and subject to further z xplanati_ n which ho hoped to re ceive. (Hear.) In the present state of affairs, it would be premature to produce the correspondence. (Rear, hear.) THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. Sir C. NAPIER rose to ask the Chancell or of the Exchequer whether it was his intention tocoansakegfuoreaanes additional vote f or seamen and marines, in of the vast preparations making in some parts of Europe by sea and land; and whether, when the additional troop" were to be sent to India, it was the intention of the Go. vernment to call out an equal number of militia to re place them. It was not long since the right hon. gentle. man told his constituents at Slough that we bad been within a few hours of war with France, and from the present state of that country it was very probable the 1 same thing might cccur again. After the very alarming article which appeared the other day in the loading jour nal of Europe—which bad created a considerable degree of alarm throughout the country. (" No, no.") Parlia. meet and the country ought to be made aware what our defences were. He had not the slightest idea that the Emperor of the French desired a war with us—but there was an immense army kept up in France, and, after the recent manifestation of the predominant pbsition which it bad assumed, nobody could tell whether it might not drive the Emperor to an attack on this country. The French Government had lately been making immense exertions in all their ports. Cherbourg was now open, and it was connected by a railway with Paris, as were the other ports. Railroads had totally changed the whole face of European warfare. By means of them the French Government would be able to moreetroops with the greatest ease from one end of the empire to the other, and they also gave every facility for bringing sea• men from Toulon and the Mediterranean posts to the channel ports France bad, of course, a right to get as large a fleet as she thought proper, but this extraordi nary activity must create a suspicion in the minds of the people of this country. She was on good terms wit America, and the increase in the navy could not be di rected against Austria, which was not a maritime power ; and there could be no other power but this country with which France could wish to compete. What the people wished to know was, whether they were safe from invasion or not in case a quarrel should occur with France, and it was impossible to be quite sure that one might not at some time or other occur; nor was the Emperor a man to tell us beforehand what be was going to d e. By her system of conscription and inscrip. tion France could call together at any time 60,000 or 70,000 seamen; and besides those, a large number of men who bad served in the navy for several years, and bad gone back to their homes, were liable to be called out also. Wt.at bad we to oppose these ? We had plenty of ship , . He believed that at the present moment we had 20 screw line-ofliatikeihips of one sort or other ready for pea ; but within the last few months we had had a lamentable specimen of the time that it required to wan a line-of-battleship in the cases of the Renown and the elerlhorcu e h. lie was happy to say that owing to the great exertions of the present Board of Admiralty, ail these; vessels were now pet fectly ready for sea. Be ou:d read to the house the actual state of these ships, because he believed that the information would prove satefactory to them. We bad at Portsmouth the Duke of Welliogtun, a viry fine three -.necked ship, and the Hannibal —b o th in commi-sion, but only half mann&d, or not quite half manned—and the Can ar , also ready f or re:, but n o t manned. At Plymouth the Exmouth and Orion, just commissioned, but not manned—the Chien he was Sappy to say was manning very rapidly. At Sheerness the Royal Geerge and the Cressy were in com mission, and were half manned, but the greater part of the men were not able seamen. At Cork was the Nile, half manned. On the home station there were three sail f the line—and three only. Now, in the event of any disturbance occurring between this country and France, we should have to consider, m t only the ships and sea men that France possessed, but her large army, stated to amount to not less than 500,000 men, and we knew with what ease men could now be transported fr en one spot to another by means of steam. Suppming that we had an army of 400,000 (r 500,000, and the same number of ships only that we bad at pre, ent, nothing in the world would be easier than for us to make an attack upon France if we thought fit so to do. A telegram would be despatched to the different ports, ordering our steam. vessels to collect at Spithead, where they would all probably arrive within three or four hours rf one another. So, if France equalled us in men-of-war—as perhaps she did—although she could not compete with us in the matter of steam-vessels, she could order by telegraph any number of men to collect at Cherbourg, where they could be falcon on board wi , h the utmost despatch. The great works at Cherbourg were now com pleted, and the tremendous docks and basins afforded means fer embarking ary number of men in a wonder fully short time. The troops could walk on board ; ca valry, mounted on their her es, could rile on board ; and artillery could be easily shipped, for 20 sail of the line could lie alongside of the wharfs alone. While these great works had been in preparation in France we on our ride had not been altogether idle. We bad lately very properly es•ablished the Coastguard on a much more efficient footing than it bad ever been before—(ln ar)— and we had now, he believed, between 4,000 and 5,000 Coastguard-men, who were seamen, besides 1,000 or 2,000 snore who were not seamen. We had a large force of Coact Volur teere This force was ore which he Lae him,eV recommended 40 y a s ago, and he was iaisfied that, as a naval militia, they eould prove a most valu able auxiliary, provided that we had a navy to receive there. It was impossible to consider the country in her present state to be ref,: from an attack from Fleece. lie did not say that France had any intention to attack us, but this great country ought nut to be left at the mercy o f any !retell with which it was possible we might come in conflict. (Hear, hear.) Why had we 20,000 men at this moment at Aldershot 1 They were costing money, and he presumed that they were kept there in order to defend the c:eiotty in case of attack ; but the test means of defending the country was to meet the enemy before he could land upon our shores. (Hear , bear.) He warned the ho use an d t h e people, therefore, that if they wished to keep the country in a state I. e tof safety they m us t b e prepare d to put their to tell har their pockets ; and th e G overnmen t ought the u people eafety t o li t at a t e lny oo w o o n u tr l y d n o o n t lese he it ros s p . o e u re sihl; r perly— not extravagnn'ly—but properly defen d cd. What we ought to do was at once to man 10 sail of the line completely. (Hear.) The men should be kept constantly ready for sea, and if once the Govern ment an d the nation consented to that, we should have our ships perfectly ready at all times, and should be a qual to any emer gency, because we should be enabled, by means of the Coast Volunteers, to double the navy without the slightest d;fficulty. No one could deny that these mea sures were neces-ary. how did we know at this moment that France and Russia were not on very good terms ; and what would be the feeling cf this country if we heard that the Russian fleet had quitted the Baltic and was coming up the Channel ? (A. laugh.) The confusion that it would create would be tremendous, and what would become of' the fund s G o d only knew. He saw some gentlemen opposite laugh, but he must be permitted to tell them that it was no laughing business. (Hear.) It was not sufficient merely to put men on board abip ; it was well trained and well disciplined men that were re- quired. If two ships of equal capacity and power, and having th e same num b er of men on board—one being a discipline and the other an undisciplined crew—were to be opposed to each other in action, the ship with the disciplined crew would b ea t th e o ther in half an hour. Suppose, for in s t ance, th e R oya l Albertjust returned from service and th e M ar lb oroug h j us t commissioned to be put in c om p e titi on , w h y , it wou ld beien o impossible succors i s b u lf e r the Marlborough to contend with a n (Hear.)

The gallant admiral con. chided by asking the question of which he had given no. tioe. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —Sir, was somewhat alarmed by the question which the hon. and gallant admiral placed upon the paper to-day, be. cause I supposed that he wns in possession of some recent information which authorised him to snake the startling inquiry he has ; but I am in some degree relieved by his informing the house that in fact he has no futther oration than that which has been the basin of the three' speeches he has made this session upon the same subject. I can assure the gallant admiral that her Majesty's Minis. ters are truly and deeply sensible of the great responsibi. lity which devolves upon them both to defend our com• mon country and to vindicate, if necessary, the honour of our flag—(hear)— bu+, I am sure the house will feel it extremely inconvenient to the public interests to ask in. this house whether our means of defence are equal to the means which those who are our allies, or any other Powers, may by any possible combination of circutn. stances have at their disposal for our annoyance. Th• hon. and gallant admiral assumes that it is the interest and the desire of all the Powers of Europe, especially of those with whom we are at this moment in cordial alli ance, not only to go to war with this country, but to go a to nd w e ar is s t u om dd s e o nly, without fcivilised h nations, te slightest regard without t a o n t y he l ap a p w s a. rent cause, for the invasion of our territory and the dem. MR. CECIL MOORE. Mr. J. FITZGERALD asked the Attorney Gcnf ral for Ireland, whether Mr. Cecil Moore, who had betn recently appointed Sessional Crown Prosecutor for the county of T • e, was t , 'e same Mr. C ec il M oore -3 rim de scribed in the appendix to the report on the Belfast Riots, p. 289, as Cecil Moore, of Cottage Hill, Augh nactony, Grand Secretary of the Tyrone Orange Lodge ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said the person lately appointed was the same person referred to in the question. The appointment was made on the recommendation of the two members for the county, and the assistant barrister for the district. ([fear ) LADIES' GALLERY. Mr. EDWARDS asked the Chief Commissioner of Works, if thtra was any objection to an increase of accommodation in the Ladies' Gallery ? Lord J. MANNERS said he had made inquiries into the subject. He had no objection to make an experiment as recommended, and, if it answered, to further Extend OFFICERS' SOLDIER-SERVANTS. General CODRINGTON — ;;;;;;T7Ie --- gecif;tary of State for War, whether the warrant of 1857, relating to Officers' Soldier• Servants was or was not cancelled ; and, if not, whether it was still considered that the sudi of Is. a-day in England, and le. 6d. a.day abroad was a sufficient sum to pay for a civilian rervant General PEEL said the war circular referred to bad been cancelled. (Hear, hear.) CHATHAM. BARRACKS, In reply to a question, . _ Gen. PEEL said he bad received no official report re lative to the scarcity of water at Chatham Barracks. Hi s attention had been called to the subject by a paragraph he had seen in the public papers, and he had sent down an officer to make inquiry sand report thereon. (Hear.) INDIA.—LORD CANNING'S PROCLAMATION. On the motion for adjournment till Monday, Mr. WILSON asked the President of the Board of Control whether any distinct information had been re ceived that Lord Canning's Proclamation Lad been issued at Lucknow, and of the result which bad been produced upon the talookdars in their relation to the British Government. Lord STANLEY took the opportunity of correcting a slight mistake he made yesterday. He was yesterday asked if any official document had been re ceived by the last mail relative to the pacification of Oude, and whether he saw the notice on the paper—be canoed enquiry to be made in his department, ard be received a positive assurance that nothing official had been received on the subject. After he had given his answer yesterday to the question, be was informed that at the bottom of a miscellaneous despa'eh there was a paragraph bearing date the 3d of April, stating that the talookdars were holding aloof from the rebel cause, and that the Chief Commissioner fervently hoped there would not be much longer any serious opposition to our rule in ()tide. (Hear.) Two lists had been sent in contain ing the names of those who had come forward, and whose claims to the lands would be reinvestigated,. .(Hear.) The proclamati on o f th e G overnor -G en eral had beensetit•d but consid era bl y mo difi e d f rom t h a t sent hov e . ( Hear.) i From various private letters he had read, he hoped there was reason to believe that the policy now actually pur sued in Oude was one of conciliation and justioe, and the results, so far as they had been ascertained, were believed to be sati-factory in their effect on noble lordon the landed proprietors and others. (Hea r, l hear.) took occasion to reply to the following question on the paper by the hon. member for Devonport (Sir E Perry), whether letters from the Governor-Ger eral of India had ' not been received, covering reports of a public character, from Mr. Montgomery and other officers in (hide, re lating to the pacification of that country, and whether these was any objection to laying such reports on the table ? The letters he (Lord Stanley) bad seen were private letters, though containing en closures on public matters. Unfortunately he had no control over those letters, and could not pro duce them ; and with regard to the enclosures, he could not undertake then to produce them, believing it would be for the benefit of the public service at present to withhold them. It would be more convenient to delay the publication till the receipt of the corning despatch containing explanations. He would also take that op portunity of answering another question on the paper, 20 20 20 20 10 1.0.6,
