The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have been moderately active. At the public sales of tea prices were a shade flatter for the better qualities, but common descriptions fully maintained previous values. Sugars have been in limit e d reques t, a t f ormer ra t es , but in the refined market more firmness has prevailed, owing to diminished production. There has been a steady inquiry for the better descriptions of coffee at fully previous prices, and only small quantities are announced for public sale during the next few days. No business has been transacted in rum, as the dealers are waiting for the new scale of duties. Ira fruit, extensive dealings have been entered into and a rise of 3s. to ss. per cwt. has taken place in currants. Rice has been in active demand at full rates, and there has been a fair inquiry for saltpetre, higher rates being realised for the superior qualities. The public sales of colonial wool are progressing with considerable animation, and the rates established at the com mencement of the series are fully maintained. The tallow market has been dull, owing to the large arrivals, and the transactions both for consumption and on speculative account have been unimportant. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with a very quiet ap pearance, and prices remained unaltered. The sales were 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market transactions were restricted, and quotations exhibited increased depression. There is a moderate demand for money, and the terms charged for accommodation are a shade easier, as the supplies are plentiful, and capitalists are anxious to obtain employment for their re sources. The rates paid for the best descriptions of bills range as low as 31 per cent., and the conse quence is that the applications at the Bank of Eng land have diminished. The English Stock Market remains in an in active state, owing to the limited character of the speculative operations. The proximity of the settling day and the unsettled state of foreign politics, however, will account for the pre vailing dulness. Consols are 941 2- for money and the Bth instant, and 94/ 1 for April. The New Threes are firm at 94/ ; the Reduced at 94 I; and Long Annuities at 171 15-16 ; India New Loan is 1031 1048 ; ditto 5 per cent. Enfaced Paper has improved to 981 ; ditto 51 per cent. ditto to 1041 and 1051 ; ditto Debentures are 97f, and the Bonds remain at par ; Exchequer Bills are steady at 235. to 265. prem. A rather large amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices in most instances are firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 80 ; ditto New, 62! 63 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. have im proved to 1031 ; ditto 41 per Cents., to 931 ; Peru vian (Uribarren) to 821 ; and Buenos Ayres to 84 ; Dutch 21 per Cents. remain at 661, but tha 4 per Cents, are firm at 102/. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 31 prem. ; the Universal ditto, / 1 . prem.; and the Canadian Loan is 1! 21 prem. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been moderately active, and prices have shown more buoyancy. Eastern Counties, Great Northerns, Great Westerns, and Midlands have improved ss. ; Caledonians, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Scot tish North-Easterns, 10s. ; North-Westerns have declined about ss. The Foreign and Colonial Markets have remained very quiet. Lombardo-Venetian are flat at 11,1, and Great Luxemburg at 61 61. East Indian have declined to 101 and 1011, and the Canadian lines are nominally unaltered. Joint-stock Bank Shares continue inactive. Ori ental Bank advanced 10s., and London and West minster 6s.

Igl 5 all 5 7 19; 20 id par, ; ld 9 19f Id id LADY FICKPOCKETS.—CAUTION TO LADIES.—Three well-dressed females, named Ann Cooper, Elizabeth Brooks, and Jane Love, were charged before Mr. Beadon with at tempting to pick pockets in Oxford-street. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared fur the prisoners. Charles Brown, 304 A, said that at half-past four the previous afternoon he saw saw the prisoners in Oxford street. Having watched them a short time, he saw them push themselves into a crowd round an omnibus leaving the Circus, and Love then put her hand into the pocket of a lady who had a child in her arms, but she did not succeed in abstracting anything. The prisoners then went to the corner of John-street, and returned to the shop of Mr. Roberts, linendraper, between John street and the Circus, and Lovo then again put her hand into a lady's pocket, Cooper being at her side and Brooks behind. They then followed two ladies to the Regent-eircus, where a crowd of people were crossing to leave by an omnibus, and the prisoners again pushed them selves amongst them. They then returned to the corner of John-street, and, getting the assistance of two constables, he took them into custody. The prisoners at the station refused their addresses. 101 i 88 II Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he knew all the prisoners. He had seen Cooper at this court before, and he believed he had seen Brooks at Clerkenwell. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the sergeant said he could not say when—it might be more than three years. He knew Brooks well. Mr. Beadon said he should remand them for a week to see what was known of them. CURIOUS CASE OF FELONY.—Edward Gurling, a boy of 16, was charged with stealing a quantity of lead pipe from the garden of the house 10, Portland •road, in the occupa tion of Mr. Henry llalsay Bishop, one of the curates of All Souls, the said pipe being the property of Mr. Henry Tritton, the banker. The case having been proved, Sing, 28 E, in answer to Mr. Beadon, said the prisoner lived with his father and mother, and was in the employ of a chemist. The father of the boy stepped forward and said it was the first time his son had been in a police court. Mr. Beadon said the boy's going into a private garden and stealing the lead was a remarkable felony for a boy to begin with. He must have learnt from some one where to dispose of the lead, and he must have got into very bad company. The father said he had received an injury to his head some time ago, and at times he did not know what he was about. He had been in the employ of a chemist. Mr. Beadon, placing little credit in the statement about the injuries the boy had received, and remarking that if that was really the case he was not a proper person to be at a chemist's, where he might get at dangerous drugs and do mischief, asked the lad whether ho was guilty, and re ceiving an answer in the affirmative, committed bim for three months. 61 I ME SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 6, 1860.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY. - James Featherstone, alias Brown, alias Smith, a tall, powerful, and active fellow about 23 years of age, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing a coat, the property of Mr. 'Wm. Johnson, an oil and colourman, of 243, High-street, Shad well. The prisoner has been summarily convicted five times, and once convicted by a jury, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. Yesterday evening, Mr. Johnson left his horse and cart in Elm-street, Back Church-lane, St. George's-in the- East, while he went into a shop to obtain orders for goods. In his absence the prisoner, who was accompanied by another man, took a coat belonging to the prosecutor out of the cart and ran away with it up Pr ovidence -street. Mr. Johnson returned to his cart immediately afterwards, and was informed of the robbery by two girls. While the prosecutor was making inquiries and relating his loss to a crowd assembled about him, the prisoner made his appear ance, and was pretending to listen to the news, when one of the girls, who saw the robbery committed, said there is the man, and the prisoner was immediately secured. He denied, most vehemently, that he was the thief; but two girls swore positively to him, and that he ran up Provi dence-street with the coat. The prisoner (loudly)—I did not run up Providence street at all—it is a lie. I was not there at all. Mr. Yardley said he would not suffer a witness to be abused or intimidated. He committed the prisoner for trial. and directed that he should be brought up again to-morrow, and that the former conviction by a jury should then be given in evidence formally.

POLICE.—It has been suggested that leggings similar to those in useby the Military, but somewhat longer, should be dispersed amongst the police. The health of this body, its saving of trousers from wet and tear, together with extra cleanliness and comfort, are urged as all-suffi cient reasons for their adoption. The notion is not new, but it has been hitherto deemed out of the question from the high price of leather. The introduction of the patent of the Spills, of Stepney, however, has got rid of this objec tion. Another of the advantages is a protection of the legs from the kicks of the desperate. With the leggings they can plod through the filthiest alleys and courts of our towns and cities, and through country lanes in winter, and the immediate neighbourhoods of farms hitherto inaccessible in bad seasons. They, moreover, afford warmth at night, and, being light, can, when not in use, be folded with the cape or put into the pocket. —Globe. CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.—The Leek case, in which the Rev. Mr. Ribbans and Mr. Sievier were accused of conspiring to leave an illegitimate chill charge able to the Leek union, was re-heard on Saturday. , The nurse, Mrs. de Berriere, who brought the child from Lon don, was put into the witness-box, but no new evidence was elicited. Who was the father of the child, and how the infant was disposed of, were pretty clearly made out, but the magistrates thought there was no evidence of can 'piracy. It was a disgraceful case, they said, but there was not evidence sufficient to establish a criminal intent. The offenders must be left to the punishment of their own consciences, for the law could not take hold of the offence. TRAVELLING.—Professor Lowe, of New York, who gave out last year that he intended to make a trip to Europe in his mammoth air-ship, has written to the Charleston papers stating that he had been compelled, through unforeseen circumstances connected with the me chanical apparatus and other equipments of the ship to poctpone his fi r st ex p er i ment in aerial navigation until spring of the year, when he intended to solve the problem. He had been engaged for some time past in examining the upper currents, and had ascertained a current setting from west to east as reliable as the Gulf Stream. He was now seeking to discover a return current from east to west, in the existence of which he had a strong faith. SINGULAR DEATH OF A THIEF.—One of the Custom-house officers, near the Waterloo Dock, Liverpool, noticed, on Saturday, a man running away from the James R. Keeler. The officer's suspicions were aroused by the fact that the body of the man appeared unnaturally bulky, and, grappling the runaway, they had a tou g h ai d despe rate struggle on th e m arg i n of the dock. Ultimately the supposed smuggler, or thief, eluded the grasp of the officer, and plunged headlong into the dock, He disappeared be neath the water, and, though the officer sought anxiously, did not rise again. When the body was at length reco vered it was found that no less than thirteen sheets of cop per had been wrapped round it. In the pockets of the de ceased were £4 Is, 6d., and a large clasp knife. His name is unknown. Apollyon ... .•• Tommy Noble .... Princc of O range 3 Eight ran. SPORTING .INTLLL. TGENCE. TATTERS ALLS' — Y 7 SSTERDAY. I In consequence of a majority of 'lle members leaving for ' Liverpool by the afternoon train the room was very scan tily attended.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. Lord CARNARVON presented a petition from the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, praying for the repeal of the eighth clause of the Friendly Societies Amendment Act, 1858. The Duke of MARLBOROUGII presented petitions against the abolition of church rates. Lord COLVILLE, in the absence of Earl Vane, pre sented a petition from 14 different places in the diocese of Durham, praying the house to take such measures as shall ensure the recognition of the principle of manifest equity in the distribution of the large funds arising from the diocese. ( . The Croydon Gas PRIVATE nd a the Keith and Dufftown Railway Bills were read a thi r d li me and passed. THE NEW FRENCH TY. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said in REA the event of the ad dress to h er M a j esty being agreed to that evening, he pro posed that a similar address should b e moved in that house on Friday or Monday next. The Earl of DERBY said Monday would be the more convenient day. Earl GREY said.he would not be a party to support any such address, as such a proceeding, he considered, was totally unnecessary. Monday was then fixed as the day on which the address would be moved, LACE FACTORIES. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the lace manufacturers of Nottingham, praying that the lace factories may be brought under the operation of the factory act. The noble earl alluded to the hardships en dured by the workpeople in lace factories, and promised to bring in a bill to remedy the evil. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he was sure the largo manufacturers in Nottingham would lentil. him every as sistance in so laudable an endeavour. COMPANIES (1860) BILL. This bill after a few observati ons f rom L or d WENSLEY DALY and Le LoltD CHANCELLOR, was read a third time and passed. ADMINISTERING POISON BILL This bill was read a second time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMM OATS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. RnSCOMMON ELECTION. Mr. DUNLOP, the chairman of the committee ap pointed to try the merits of the Roscommon Election peti tion, brought up the report of that committee to the eircet that Captain Gough, the sitting member, was guilty of treating, through his agents, but without his knowledge; that he was not duly elected, and that some of the bills fur his election expenses were not delivered to the election auditor. AUGMENTATION OF LIVINGS. Lord W GRAHAM moved for a return of all tithe rent charges vested in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England in possession ; showing the parishes and counties out of which such tithe rent charges arise; the amount at which they have been commuted ; the names, populations, and incomes of the benefices in such parishes ; and the grants which have been made by the Commissioners to such benefices. —Ordered. RATE ASESSENTS. Mr. HUNT POOR moved an address for re M turn of the number of persons assessed to the poor rate in respect of property of the annual rateable value of £lO and under £l2, £l2 and under £l5, £l5 and under £2O, £2O and under £5O, £5O and upwards, in each parish or part of a parish in England and Wales aot within the limits of any city or Parliamentary borough ; the preceding particulars to be summarised so as to show in regard to each head of information separate totals for each county and Parliamentary division of a county ; together with a total for the entire district returned (the above to be prepared from the most recent particulars rea dily accessible).—Ordered. METROPOLITAN POLICE FORCE. Mr. BOWL ER moved for reinrns of the number of superintendents and inspectors of the metropolitan police who have been promoted to their present situations from the force ; of the number who have been in the army and navy; of the number who have been appointed without having previously been in the public service, civil or military; of the number of metropolitan police-constables who have been reported by sergeants or acting sergeants, within the last three years ; and of the number of polies-constables who have eutersd the force, the number who have been dismissed, and the number who have retired front the force within the last three years.—Ordered. BARRACKS. Mr. MONSELL moved an address for a return of all barracks in the United Kingdom constructed for not more than 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 men, specifying whether they aro for infantry, cavalry, or artillery ; of the annual expense of the staff employed for the care and maintenance of each barrack ; and, of tho aggregate number of infantry. cavalry, and artillery for whom accommodation is provided for in barracks constructed each for more than 500 men, and the aggregate number for whom accommodation is pro • vided in camp.—Ordered. COLONELS OF CAVALRY. Captain ARCHDALL asked the Secretary of State for War why field officers of the cavalry wore excluded from the advantages of the late warrant, being prohibited from taking troop horses as chargers : whether he was swat* that the receipts of a lieutenant-colonel of cavalry, from his pay and allowances, were ls. 10d. a day less than the pay and allowances of a lieutenant-colonel of infantry : and whether, such being the case, he would raise the pay and allowances of a lieutenant-colonel of cavalry equal to those of a lieutenant-colonel of infantry ? Mr. S. HERBERT was understood to say that it was not intended to make the increase in question, as there was no ground for such a proceeding. MILITARY DEFENCES OF THE COLONIES. Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Secretary of State for IVar whether the committee had vet reported, which he stated last session to be sitting, on the subject of the expen diture from the British treasury on the military defences of the colonies, and on the principle on which such expenses ought to be apportioned between the imperial and colonial treasuries, and on the best mode of carry ing out such ap portionment; and, if they have made their report, whether he would present it to the house ? Mr. S. HERBERT said the report alluded to had been received, but it was not quite correct. lie had communi cated with the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject, but he had not had time to devote his attention to it, and who did not consider that the report, being of a con fidential character, should be laid on the table. CAVALRY OFFICERS. Mr. H. STRACEY asked the Secretary of State for War whether general officers appointed to regiments of cavalry would in future be obliged to repay the difference, although the prices of commissions in the infantry and cavalry have been equalised. Mr. S. HERBERT replied in the negative. ARMSTRONG'S AND WHITWORTH'S GUNS. M. H. BAILLIE asked the Secretary of State for War whether he intended to continue the manufacture of Arm strong's guns, after the remarkable results of the recent ex periments with Whitworth's guns, both as to their range and the accuracy of their fire ; whether it was an ascertained fact that Armstrong's guns could not be used unless there was at hand a large supply of water, so that the gun might be washed out after each shot ; and whe ther the Whitworth gun might not be used for any length of time without the aid of water : and whether the com mittee appointed to decide on the respective merits of the Armstrong and Whitworth cannon adopted the Armstrong gun without going to Manchester to look at Whitworth's gun, after having previously fixed a day on which they were to have visited Mr. Whitworth's works for the pur pose of examining his gun ? Mr. S. HERBERT said that the guns invented by Mr. Whitworth were very satisfactory, but it was intended to test it with the guns of Sir W. Armstrons , with respect to length of range, accuracy of aim, but, above all, with re spect to their relative powers of destructability of an enemy. The Armstrong guns were now supplied with a lubricating material in the charge that rendered the use of water un necessary. a p t.L.VERNON EMPLOYMENT OOF s k C e l d V t h I I4cNr Secretary a A r fGU StateN Nf for GUNNERS. . a r t whether s t t h ro e r e n g w g a u s n a s ni e n fo t u t n o d c a i o n n a fur , o u r n the r r th m e o u eo m t h ul a t a ,with the Armstrong guns sent to China, under the command of Col. send civilian tn , Royal hadArti b ll e e l ri ng ,l i t ngto been Sir w m. found expedient to workmen Armstrong's manufactory, for the purpose of attending to details which in ordinary cases fell within the duties ofthe gunners. Mr. S. HERBERT was understood to state that it was not usual to employ civilians in that capaciiy, but when it was had recourse to, means were taken to remedy any de fects on their part. Mr. HANKEY asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether the provisions of the French Treaty ap plied to French colonies in respect of duties upon British goods imported by these colonies ; and if goods shipped to Martinique, &c., from England, would be admitted on the same terms as if shipped to France ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that there were no provisions in the treaty relating to the matter, and he took that oppor tunity of stating that it had been recommended to the Legislative Council to abolish the duty on rags. (Hear.) BERKELEY HOUSE. Mr. E. JAMES asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he could stato to tl , e house the sum paid by the Metropolitan Board of Works for the site of Berkeley House, upon which that board is erecting a building for their own use ; and what sum is to be expended by the said board in the construction of that building ? Mr. COWPER said that the whole cast would be £16,000, and that they would have to pay £&00 a-year for the property for 10 years. SAVOY AND NICE. Mr. X. FITZGERALD said that the correspondence relating to Savoy and Nice was not placed in the hands of hon. members until that morning, and therefore he must postpone asking the noble lord this evening a question re lative to some apparent inacouracies in that correspondence, but he would do so to-morrow. CUSTOMS' ACT. The report on the Customs' Act was brought up and agreed to. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY.—SAVOY AND NICE. - - Lord PALMERSTON—I rise, sir, to make the motion of which I gave notice,—That the other orders of the day be postponed till after the motion for an address to her Ma jesty on the treaty with France ; and I take this opportu nity of making an appeal to my hon. friend the member for Sunderland, who bas given notice of an addition to the in tended address. That addition relates to the differential daties on shipping—a matter that may very fairly be brought under the consideration of this house. But it would, I think, be undesirable to insert it in an address ap proving the treaty, which doe 3 not touch the question of• those duties. And if my hon. friend woull be kind enough to separate the two subjects, and take the discussion on his proposal on another day, f undertake on the part of the Government to assist him in obtaining an opportunity of bringing it on before Easter; which I suppose will be suft►- cient for his purpose. I therefore now move the postpone ment of the other orders. Mr. LINDSAY could not answer the noble lord's appeal until he had himself, in turn, made an appeal to the hon member for Middlesex (Mr. Byng.) That hon. gentleman had given notice of motion for an address respecting the treaty with France; but the terms of that address wore not before (Hear, hear, f rom th e Opposition.) It was usual important a matt er th a t t h e house should the on s o house. be in possession of the words of the address at least one clear day before they were called upon to discuss it. (Hear, ___.............--........—_—. hoar.) The terms of the address itself not being before the helve. of course the terms of his own proposed addition to it were not before the house either. They could therefore ' have no opportunity of judging whether the words he pro posed to add were consistent with the address, and should be discussed in conjunction with it, or whether they should form the subject of a. separate and substantive motion. He thought the words which he wished to add ought to be dis cussed at the same time as the address to her Majesty. —(hear, hear, from the Opppositin)— , weause the noble lord forgot that the 3d article of the treaty distinctly re ferred to British shipping, specifying that the diff rential duties levied by France against the shipping of England ea t :ring her ports were in nowise to to altered. (Hear, hear.) If therefore he kn:w whether or not they were to defer the discussion of the address until its terms were regularly be fore the house he would be better able to respond to the noble lord's appeal. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KINGLAKE rose to state very briefly the grounds on which he intended to oppose the metion of the noble viscount. At an unusually late hour for notices of motion on Friday night—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition)—and after a very ext raor di nary speec h f rem t h e h on. mem b er f or Birmingham, the noble viscount at the head of the Govern ment gave notice of the present motion, and requested, as it seemed, the hon. member fur Middlesex to give notice of t'te address the discussion of which they were now ceded upon to accelerate by that emotion. The very preamble of ithe treaty which they were asked to sanction began by de- daring that it was the object of the high contracting parties to draw closer the ties of friendship which united the two peoples. Now, they would be trifling with that great sub ject and taking part in the emptiest of all imaginable forms if they consented to enter on the queeeion presented to their attention without having a far more accurate knowledge than they now had of the relations really subsisting be tween this country and France. (Hear, hear, from the Op position.) As lately as Tuesday last the noble lord who was the constitutional exponent of the views and opinions of her Majesty's Government on foreign affairs stated in that house with a frankness which was characteristic of hint, that if 'the proposed annexation of Savoy and Nice should unfortu nately be persisted in the Emperor of the French would expose himself to the distrust and hostility of Europe. (Hear, hear.) On the day when the noble lord made that statement he had himself been pressed to postpone his motion, hut he had persevered in ;Feler, on with it becauso he know that in this matter time was vital. (Rear, hear.) And it so happened that within 40 hours of the moment at which the noble lord the Foreign Secretary made that statement the Emperor of the Frenea pronounced a speech from the throne, which scented, as far as he could under stand les semewha t ambiguous phraseology - to place the great empire of France in a position of something like antagonism to this country. (Hear, hear.) One portion of the Empe rot's speech was, he thought, perfectly unexceptionable in its tone aid language; and if he could only bring himself to believe that that part of the speech represented the real views of his Majesty he would not now be endeavouring to postpone the hon. member for Middlesex's motion. The Emperor said : " This reassertion of a claim to a territory of small extent has nothing in it of a nature to a:arm Europe and give a denial to the policy of disinterestedness which I have pro claimed more than once, for France does not wish to pro ceed to this aggrandisement, however small it may be, either by military occupation or by provoked insurrection, or by underhand mancouvres, but by frankly explaining the ques • tion to the Great Powers." If he could only believe that that was all he would be very well content. But he found that in other passage% his Majesty spoke of the proposal for annexing Savoy as though it were a matter resulting frcm some right possessed by the Emperor of the French. The Emperor also appealed to one of the most dangerous principles to which any potentate could appeal—viz., the principle of natural boundaries. (Hear, hear.) Now, one plain sentence might remove all the obscurity which hung upon that question; let it be said that the determination to consult the Great Powers of Europe meant that which any plain man would understand when he spoke of consulting another. Let it only be understood that France would not proceed to this annexation without the assent of the other Great Powers, and then they would all enter on the discussion of that commercial treaty in a spirit that would conduce to the peace and tranquillity of Europe It, however, so happened that rumour rather reported those questionable portions of the Imperial speech whi 2h spoke of the proposed annexation as a matter of neces sity, and left them less room than they would like for be lieving that the fair and courteous expressions contained in other passages were the true indication of the Emperor's meaning. As a ground for postponing the debate on which they were now invited to enter he must beg the house to remember that from July to the present time two negotia tions, or, to speak more accurately, one negotiation and one discussion, had been going on simultaneously. He alluded, first, to the negotiation with respect to the commercial treaty, which had ripened into the instrument with which they were now acquainted. But, unfortunately, the discus sion relating to the proposed annexation of Savoy seemed— as far as he could judge from the hasty perusal of the cor • respondence which the late delivery of the papers had per , milted him to bestow upon them—to have dragged on and leached an unfavourable phase precisely after that period when our assent to the commercial treaty was obtained. (Hear.) It was of the utmost importance that the house should have had the opportunity not only of glancing at these papers, but of reading them, and carefully colleting their meaning—(hoar, hear)—before they were called upon to ex press an opinion upon the commercial treaty. When he spoke of the opinion which they might express with regard to that treaty he did not refer so much to the vote to which the house might be invited to come as to that plainer and clearer expression of opinion which might perhaps be collected in the course of the debate. It being of the utmost import ance that in the approaching discussion of this treaty they should have a clear view of the relations actually subsisting between this country and France—(hear, hear)—he hoped that the house would not depart from its ordinary course of proceeding, or, by the vote for which the noble lord had asked, ac...clerate the consideration of this address. Had the question come on in its ordinary course, he should have felt very much disposed to submit to the consideration of the house some amendment whichmight have given them an opportunity of deciding whether they ought not to have better means than they now possessed of forming an opinion upon this subject before they voted an address to the Cr own. (Hear.) As it was, it of course followed that he must oppose the motion of the noble lord, as one which tended to accele rate the consideration of a question which, in his opinion, was not ripe for discussion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BYNG said that, having been appealed to by his hon. friends the members for Sunderland and Bridgewater, it was only respectful to them and to the house that he should answer that appeal in the shortest possible manner. If the house generally was anxious to see the terms of the motion in which he should have the honour of proposing that an address should be presented to her Majesty approv ing the commercial treaty with France, he would postpone moving that address until Thursday—(hoar, hear)—and would in the meantime place upon the paper the exact .'e ma in which he should propose it. (Hear, hear.) As he was sure that his hon. friend the member for Bridgewater would not wish him to go into a long discussion of foreign affairs, ke would only say that ho understood a fortnight ago from the Chancellor of the Exchequer that it was intended that an address of this kind should be proposed at the earliest possible moment after the house had in committee approved the various reductions of the Customs' duties. It was on that account only that ho had given notice of his intent;on to make this proposal to the house, and if it was the general wish that the motion should be postponed to Thursday next, he would accede to that desire. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON.—In accordance with what bus fallen from my hon. friend (Mr. Byng), and what is evi dently the wish of the house, I beg leave to withdraw the motion which I have made. 1 will only say, in expla nation, that in the course of the discussions which took place upon the previous stages of this matter I stated, in deference to what we believed to be the general wish of the house, that at the earliest moment after the resolutionshad been gone through and reported an address would be pro posed to the house in confirmation and approval of the treaty in general ; therefore, if the course which has been pursued adoptedto been in deference more sud den and appearsidthou what we supposed to be the wisher of the house. Th e ri g ht rap to tleurtn opposite (Mr. Dis.aali), the hon. member to hon. usual, nie itni members hen. earss hon. gentleman possession of the words of the address yesterday, or f w o e r r S e u in nderland, and another active member of this house ce rt a inly this morning. I beg leave towithdraw the motion for the postponement of the orders. Mr. ROEBUCK asked the hon. member for Middlesex whether he would, before Thursday, lay on the table the words of the address. Mr. BYNG replied that he would do so that evening. Mr. DISRAELI—I have always understood that the earliest moment convenient for taking into consideration any matter of importance is the earliest moment consistent with the house having the opportunity of consideration. j am very glad that the Government ha\ e changed their course, because I do not think that the members of this house would have had an opportunity foorrcwonassidtehreatcioonursife they had been called upon to vote an address t o the Crown with which they had not, speaking genera ll y, had any opportunity of becoming acquainted. N or i g inally adopted by her Majesty's Ministe rs cons i stent with the usual custom of this house, because on the last Crowntwith itils wass Russia occasion of similar import ance which I can recall—viz , n w o h t e n e tohfe ana treatydd address pease a t o the w gi as von eon o e n lud m ed on H Mon day for that day week, and upon the Saturday f lowing the language of the address was laid upon the table, so that not only had we a week's notice of the intention of the Govern ment, but we had also 48 hours' notice of the language of the intended_ address. That is a precedent which I am sure none of us will question, and of which I am sure that you,. sir, will approve, because I believe that the gentleman wh%, moved that address was Mr. Evelyn Denison. As the no'ole lord has referred to my being in possession of the laurgeage of the proposed address, I cannot but say that it ap;veses to me that her Majesty's Ministers, with a desire to. ssonclude this business which is hardly well considered, have followed the precedent of Mr. Pitt's time, without reflect/ ng that the circumstances of the two cases are, owing t 0 the course which they have followed, very different. Iv the address% which hon. gentlemen will see upon the par to-morrow„ having expressed our dutyand satisfaction, we arerequested to go on to say, " We shall proceed to take such steps al E'AL ;net, from ar on q.S., The the left 1 re g is sup- Kone t has and aday day- At the ting e ruca oard day rt of fined ?.ens and ions 'mall aged land, •ninq )N."
