CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Royal Bride has arrived from Australia with 29,291 ounces of gold, valued at £111,164. These remittances will, no doubt, prevent any extensive efflux from the Bank of England, but, as soon as the availeLble supplies thus afforded are sent away, it is prob able that the exportation of silver to the East, if maintained, will cause a further diminution of the metallic reserves of the national establish ment. The recent Australian consignments have all been 'taken for the Continent, and it is expected that the next few remittances will be disposed of in a similar manner. The rapidity with which the instalments of the new Indi an loan are to be paid must, it is thought, exert son ie influence on the tendency of the money market. Of the £7,000,000 now applied for, more than half •will be paid before the rth proximo, and the whole completed in the short space of three months. The previous operation was spread over a much longer period, and it created comparatively little effect, but since then a large absorption of capital has taken place through numerous channels lately opened, and the market is not so easy. The sudden call of so large an amount may, therefore, be expected to impart more .Armness to the rates of discount, especially as symptoms of an advance have been recently developed. The favourable reports yesterday afternoon from most of the Continental bourses denote greater confidence in the tendency of political affairs. For some time previously confidence in the satisfactory solution of the Italian question, by means of a Con gress, had sensibly declined, but it has again been revived by the general observations of some of the Continental journals, and the effect on the value of national stocks was almost instantaneous. The Austrian funds at Amsterdam yesterday advanced 3 per cent., and the French funds per cent. Consequent upon that recovery a better feeling now prevails at the Stock Exchange, and the general tendency of values is in the ascendant. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a further advance in the rates on Vienna and Trieste. There were no bullion operations•of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The whole of the gold by the Roxburgh Castle, viz., £166,000, has been taken for transmission to the Continent, and the greater portion of the specie by the Asia has also been taken for the same purpose. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices tended downwards. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. In Railway Shares rather more animation was apparent, and quotations were decidedly firmer. A moderate amount of business has taken place in the market for public securities to-day, and a fractional advance is exhibited in the quotations of the Funds. Very little variation has ensued, but the market has been favourably influenced by the advices from the Continent and the rise on the foreign Bourses. Consolshavebeen about 951 for money and account, and at the present moment there are " sel lers" at that price. Th eGovernment broker has bought £lO,OOO Reduced Annuities for the Savings Banks. Bank Stock is rather firmer, at 2231 to 2211 ; and the New Threes at 941 1, but the Reduced are flat at 91. Exchequer Bills are steady, at 335. to 365. prem. India Loan Debentures have receded to 961, and the Bonds are par to Is. prem. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is rather more animated, and prices in some instances are rather firmer, Turkish 6 per Cents, being 871 to 881; ditto New Loan, 77:1 to 781 ; and the 4 per Cents. have improved to 1021 to 103 ; Dutch 21 per Cents. at 614 ; and Russian 5 per Cents. at 110 to 1101 ; Mexican have receded to 21, Portuguese to 451, Sardinian to 77 and 79, and Buenos Ayres Deferred to 181. The New Austrian Loan is quoted 2 to 1 dis. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been moderately active, and prices, in most instances, chew a further improvement of about 1 per cent. The arrangements for the settlement, however, are now in progress, but the charge for carrying over is not heavy. Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire have advanced Cs. ; and Midland, North British, and South Eastern, 10s. South Western and North Eastern (Berwick), declined ss. The Foreign lines are also at slightly improved rates. Paris and Lyons have advanced to 33; Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares to 9 9-1, and the New Shares to The Colonial undertakings are rather flat. Great Indian Peninsula are at 100-1, ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 34 to 35; and East Indian, 1011 102. The New Shares and the Debenture Bonds are quoted at about previous rates. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show little variation from yesterday's rates. Union of Australia have declined 10s., and Devon Bapunda Mining Shares are quoted y to 1, prem.

RETURN OF THE PRINCE ALBERT.—GALWAY, Monday. —This morning the inhabitants of Galway were surprised to find that the Prince Albert had returned to the Roads, having sailed on Friday morning for New York. At first it was currently reported that it was the Circassian Which had arrived ; •but closer in qu i r y s h owe d th a t i t was the P r i nce Albert. It was found that she had been obliged to return in consequence of her having sprung a leak. It appears that when she had been at sea for some time a leak was discovered in the forward part of the vessel, it is sup- Posed in that portion where she had been in contact with the ice on her homeward voyage. The pumps having been Put to work, it was thought that the water could be kept ( loula, but all the efforts of the officers and crew were un it availing, as it still continued to gain on the vessel. Finding W ould be da ngerous t o cont i nue the voyac-e, Catain Nichol son thought it expedient to return to es Galway, where the vessel arrived this morning at eight o'clock. The passengers were not well pleased at finding themselves awil l gain in the Bay of Galway ; but it is understo o d th at they be de s p atched in another steamer on 'Wednesday or . 11rs day, which will arriva here from Liverpool. The started Albert sailed 360 miles in 24 hours after she had „(0.. , and had not the unfortunate accident happened bhe um nave made a rapid passage, MONEY MA 'ITY NEWS. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OP PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell, Knt.) MOTIONS IN THE COURT OP PROBATE. In the administration of the estate of Colonel Gordon, of Ghillie, his Honour the Judge Ordinary said he could not authorise the seal of this Court to be affixed to the decree of confirmation of the Court in Scotland. On looking to the Act of Parliament of last session, he was of opinion that the confirmation of an executor was not a ministerial act but a judicial act of Court, and he could not append the seal of this Court to the decree of another Court. If the legatees felt themselves aggrieved by this decision they might apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus, and if that Court ordered the seal of this Court to be appended, it would be done. But he understood that there was at pre sent before Parliament a bill that would set the question at rest. Motion refused. POLICE IN 27 ELLIGENVE,-(T111.5 DAY) MARLI3OROUGIL STRRET. nOi3BBRY BY A CAILMA•ti.—Thos. Staples, a carman in the employ of Mr. }tarris, potato salesman, of Covent garden, and having stores at the Great Northern Railway, was charged with stealing two sacks of potatoes entrusted to hint to deliver to Mr. Garstang, potato salesman, of Grafton -street, Newport-market. Mr. Frederick Garstang, of 11, Grafton street, said he purchased two tons of potatoes of Mr. Harris, at the stores at the Great Northern Railway, and the prisoner yester day brought him a load and presented him a ticket from the railway. Ho asked how many sacks there were, and the prisoner said 64. He asked if he was certain as to the number, and he said he was. At that moment a female came up, and said he had stopped in Dudley-street, and on his (prosecutor) counting the sacks in the van he found only 62. The female told him she had seen him stop in. Dudley -street before, and thought it her duty to inform him of it. The sacks contained 11 cwt. each, and if the female had not informed him ho would not have found it out. The prisoner was afterwards given in charge. Ellen Brian, of 26, Dudley-street, said that ono day in the previous week she saw the prisoner stop his van, get off, and wait at the corner of Dudley-street, when a man came up and took away,a sack. Having seen the same thing occur before, and repeated yesterday, she informed Mr. Garstang. Fenn, 27 F, said—ln taking prisoner into custody he said the reason why he stopped his horse was because it stumbled, He denied the charge altogether. Prisoner said there was no one beside himself with the ran, and anybody could take anything off. Remanded, lusiness Done. THAMVB, APPLICATM Volt A 111tOTECTION ORDER.--THE ItL.UgtD Witt .--MrB. Ann Allies, a very respectable woman, applied to Mr. Yardley for an order to protect her property and household furniture against her husband, Miles, a printer, who is now in the House of Col.= rection for an assault, and was committed from this court bn Monday last. Mrs, Miles, who was labouing under much anxiety and grief, said she was married to her husband on the 27th April, 1844. The marriage was an unhappy one, owing to her husband's infirmity of temper, and he had frequently M used her. She was established in the haberdashery busi ness with the aid of her friends, and her hilaband had often disturbed her and caused her to give up her house and her trade, and she had sought refuge with some friends at No. r 13, John-street, White Horse-lane, Stepney. Mr. Yardley —When did he last desert you P Mrs. Miles—Six weeks ago. He has removed hie print ing-presses and materials to a house in Bancroft-place, Mile-end-road. My friends will establish me in business again if I can have an order to protect my goods. Mr. Yardley—Have you any children ? Mrs. Miles—Ono, sir ; the little boy by my side ; and I can keep him and myself too if I have a protecting order. I have suffered great tyranny and persecution from my husband, and don't wish to see him any more. Mr. Yardley said the woman was entitled to a protecting order; and the statement of Mrs. Miles having been for mally taken down by Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, the order was made out. ANOTHER ROBBERY BY AN ORANGE GlRL—Jane Murphy, alias Marney, an Irish girl, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged With stealing two sovereigns from the person of John Daly, a seaman, belonging to the ship Undine, lying at Fresh Wharf, London-bridge. The prosecutor was accosted in Thanies-street, yesterday evening, by the prisoner who asked him to treat her, and she clung to him until they reached a public-house in Dock-street, Whitechapel, where he took out his purse for the purpose of paying for some liquor he had called for. She snatched the purse from him, took from it two sove reigns, and gave him back 78. or Bs. He accused her of the robbery, and she struck him several times. He returned the blow and a scuffle ensued. The prisoner was secured and given into custody. Wood, a policeman, No. 295 K, said the prisoner was an orange girl, and several mariners had been lately robbed in a similar manner by girls who sold fruit and oranges. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, April 13.- - Wind this day at n o o n , N.W. ; light, and dull weather.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the shortexchangeon London is 25.071 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 100, per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 4-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.3 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about lon per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is slighly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the impor • tation of gold from the United States. A LETTER FROM THE SULTAN.—Th Sultan, on conferring a pension of 6,000 f. on emois - Eveillard, daughter of the Fren C l l c Ol % ~t ouruered at Dje elle ddah, wrote to her the foll6vtag letter :--" Abdul Medjid Khan to the your daughter of the r egretted Consul of France at Djeddah.—Some insensat e wretches have immolated a just man, the father of a family.

Under cover of a heavy cross fire from the high houses on the right flank of the magazine, and from Selinghur and the Palace, the enemy advanced to the high wall of the magazine, and endeavoured to set fire to a thatched roof.

HOUSE .-OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY); LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack o'clock. Lord KINNAIRD presented a petition from Aberdeen, praying that Scotland might have equal electoral righ with England in any re f orm of the representative system. ts THIRD Lo READINGS. On the motion of rd REDESDALE the following bills were severally read a third time and passed :—Banff, Macduff, and Turriff Junction Railway ;l Forraartine and Buchan Railway; Norwich Corn Exchange, and Great Western and Brentford Railway. INDIAN ARMY. Earl GRANVILLE THE asked the noble earl whether he would lay the report of the commission on the orgltmsation of the Indian army on the table of the house. The Earl of DERBY said he had not yet seen the report alluded to, but he had no doubt it would be laid before their lordships before the prorogation. THAMES WATERMEN AND LIGHTERMEN'S BILL. Lord CAMPBELL moved the suspension of the stand ing order 179, sec. 5, in order thathe might move that this bill be recommitted to the same committee which reported on' it on the 11th inst. had E arl better G R s E ta y te su ggestedh e t h f o a r t e t h h e e m n o o v b e l d e t a h n e d s u l e s a p n i e n e d s i 0 n l o r d o f the standing order, as much time would be saved by such a course. of LthoerdnoChAleMeaPrßl, E an L d L h s e d a id ee h or e d w in ou i l y d e ad nt o e p re t d t a h t e o su m gge j, suggestion into the causes that had induced him to adoptsthee, present course. It was the opinion of those the measure that if it were allowed to a 7,,.. posed t a t o t present stood the watermen and lighter 4,„ many of their privileges, and the interes* would lose s o! the p u bli c would greatly suff er .

Why th e h a d • ,as that for a whole day the time of the committee r - been taken up with the examination of fourteen wit .esses all called to speak to one point, namely, that 'the navigation of the Thames was of a very difficult nature and required peculiar skill in the Waterman and lightermen. The chairman repeatedly called for witnesses to speak on other points on which information was wanted, but the opposers persisted in speaking only upon the point above mentioned, and, under such circum stances, he considered the committee were not only justified, but bound to stop the waste of time that was going' on. With respect to the other allegations in the petition, there was not one that was not fully inquired into with the exception of that of vested rights. Considering that this bill was very strongly recommended by the Ad miralty and the Board of Trade, he thought great delay and expense would be incurred if the motion of the noble and learned lord was agreed to. Lord TEYNHAM said the impression left on the minds of the committee was that the monopoly ought to be abolished, unless evidence could be given to show that it was necessary on grounds of public policy. The noble lord gave a long detail of what had passed in committee, and said that the cou nse l f or t h e pet i tioners had not asked to be heard and had not been refused. Lord REDESDALE rose to order. The noble lord ought not to enter into the merits of the bill, or there would be no end of the discussion. (Hear, hear.) Lord TEYNHAM denied that he was doing so. He was merely showing why the motion should not be agreed to. Lord KINNAIRD considereditmostirregular for a com mittee to stop or refuse to hear a counsel. In this case the committee had desired the counsel to call the secretary of the company ; but he, wishing to examine other witnesses first, had declined to do so. He hoped the house would agree to the motion. The Earl of DUCIE, another member of the committee, said he had no objection again to serve if the bill were re committed ; but it would involve the company in great ex pense. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE did not think that the committee had given that fair hearing to the opponents of the bill to which they were entitled. In his official capacity he had heard all their evidence, but must say it had not made much impression on his mind. (Hear, hear.) The bill if recommitted might be reported before the prorogation. Lord VIVIAN said the committee had heard fourteen witnesses against the bill, the master, wardens, and all the officers of the compa n y, who repeated' the same story usqus ad nauseant. The simple question was, should the bill be, recommitted because it was no t convenient for the learntJd counsel (Mr. Hope Scott) to address the committee Vaen he ought to have done so. He protested in the strfa'agest terms against the bill bei ng recomm i tte d . Lord REDESDALE said the house ought to cwider the effect which the carrying of this motion might have on their proceedings generally. If committees were to me n a prac tice of stopping counsel, an unfavourable imprze sion would be created out of doors as to the chance of justloe being done by their lordships. He thought a case had. Vaen made out for recommitting the bill. = Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said 'their lordships had hitherto placed implicit confidence in Vaeir committees, and had never, except under very grave cir cumstances, interfered with a n y d ec i s i on ‘ and peculiar they had come to. It was obvious that great discretion at- ast be given to those to whom their lordships delegated it., to the amount of evidence thetuai• private legislation, as ght think fit to listen t o ,on any particular p o i n t. In present case it would un doubtedly have been better if. tine committ ee h a d h ear d M r. e Scott; and it w ou ld D'arhaps be prudent to refer the bill back to them, his speech. (H ear he- Ar .) in On / 4%. to enable Mr. Scott t o d e li ver The Marquis of eLANRICARDE observed that the whole difficulty had. P.risen from the conduct of the counsel; and if the bill were, recommiited, it ought surely to be accom panied by a stro_er, expression of their lordships' opinion as to the extent t'. which committees were to be subjected to thcaprice o`i counsel. (Cheers.) uke of SOMERSET said the question with which their lordshir, s had to deal was one of considerable difficulty. On the one Wand, they would be most anxious to uphold the character of their committees ; but, on the other hand, they , would FA no less anxious that the decisions of those com mittees should enjoy the confidence of the public. (Hear.) He had himself had a very large experience on committees of the other house, and it had alw a y s b een hi s pract i ce to listen with the utmosti patience to all that could be said by that party of whose case he had begun to form an unfavour able opinion. At the same time it occasionally happened that the opposing party would try to defeat a bill by delay ; and a rule had been laid downby the Commons' committees not to allow the same point to be proved by more than two or at most three witnesses. In the present case the committee had been placed under a great disadvantage by not hearing an opening speech from counsel, to direct their attention to the salient points of the evidence. He should therefore ad vise the recommittal of the bill; and its recommittal to a new committee. Earl GREY thought that as the committee had fallen into the perhaps very natural error of not hearing counsel, the bill ought to be recommitted. At the same time, he could not agree that the noble lords who had formed the old committee were likely to be so prejudiced that it was at all necessary to send the case before a new one. To appoint a new committee would moreover be most unjust to the pro 'rioters of the bill, because their case would have to be begun again de novo, and they would thus practically be mulcted in a heavy sum for an error of which the committee, and not they, had been guilty. (Hear. hear.) Lord CAMPBELL, in reply, said he had never thought of a new committee until he heard the declarations of the noble lords who had served on the old one. The motion for recommitting the bill was then agreed to. On the motion for its recommittal to a new committee, Lord REDESDALE supported the proposal, and ob served that it had always been considered a matter for the election of counsel whether their speeches should precede or follow the evidence they had to call. Their lordships divided— Content Non-content 2B-16 The bill was therefore referred back to the same com mittee. MEDICAL ACT (1858) AMENDMENT BILL. The Commons' reasons for disagreeing with one of the amendments of their lordships were considered. Lord WENSLEYDALE moved that their lordships should not insist on their amendment. The Earl of CARNARVON assented. The original ob ject of the bill was merely to postpone the date a t w hi c h t h e act of last year should come in force ; but during its passage through Parliament a few other amendments had been per haps added to it. The act itself had been very hastily drawn, and it no doubt contained many imperfections, but if any hardships were found to arise, there was no reason why an other and more complete amendment should not be intro duced next year. The amendment objected to was then abandoned. T This bill was read a second time.l BILL. PUBLIC OFFICES EXTENSION BILL. This bill was read a second time. COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL.

FERENCE OF On the motion for the second r din ea gof this hilt, Sir B. HALL asked the First Lord of ralty whether he would have any objectiethe Admi to the house the reasons which had led to then dismis state sal or the retirement of Captain Carnegie from. the offi ce m of one of the Lords of the Admiralty ; and whether Admiral Sir !Richard Dundas also tendered his r " _esignatzon, and had since been induced to remain at the Board ; and also asked for the name or names of the officers appointed to fill the vacancy or vacancies ? It would be -remem bered that he had moved for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the conduct of the Board of Admiralty with reference to interference in the re turn of members to that house, and. that committee had made as the house was aware, tt report oni the subject condemnatory of the Board f Admiral ty iW h t reference to his m o ti on a report w • ') wets current to the effect that Sir R. Dundas had been sent f and was ordered b'- (I.`. by the Firstiord of the Admiralty, Dover. Having ,,, him to stand for the borough of and resigned -ec li ned to comply with this instruction, ralty, e apto . situation as one of the Lords of asstdmi offer was 'a Carnegie was then sent for, and milar m , made to him, and he put himslf into com t'Ation with a confidential adviser, and received a relY''rt from him respecting his chances of being returned f ' ~r Dover. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Bernal Osborne.) That confidential adviser told him he had not a chance for the bo rough. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Osborne.) He had another interview with the First Lord of the Admiralty, and then he felt called on to resign his office at the board, stating that he could not consistently with his feelings retain his position. (Hear, hear.) He received a telegraphic communication from the gallant , gentlema n , wh o , objected to th e wor d i n hi s mo ti on of dismissal," had stated that h e h a d res i gne d . (H ear, h ear. and ) H e a l so added that he k new h e cou ld not be returned, and, there fore, did not consider that he was called on to stand for that borough. Sir William Holt was then sent for, and having declined to stand for Dover, he was not appointed to the vacant office at the board ; for however valuable the ser vices of the gallant gentleman were he was not accepted, because he did n o t d o th e official bidding of the First Lord of the Admiralty. Admiral Mundy was next sent for, and his services were dispensed with for the same reasons. Sir Thomas Herbert was then sent for, and was despatched to another borough, but whether he was a Lord of the Ad miralty or not he could not say. Sir Henry Leeke was next summoned, and was sent to Devonport, and being a large contractor, he was a v er y p roper person no doubt to be sent. That gentleman did not receive support from the dock yards, the men employed there ha v ing strongly disapproved of the intention of the Government bill to disfranchise them. Sir Henry Leeke then issued a communication ad dressed to the outfitters of Devonport, in which he pro mised them a portion of the advantages of the cadets, and other perquisites at present monopolised by Portimouth. Notwithstanding, however, he was unsuccessful, and be was then sent to Dover. Admiral Martin either tendered his resignation, or intended to have done so. He, however, was retained, and Captain Carnegie 's services were dis pensed with. The latter gentleman was one of the ablest officers connected with the navy ; besides, he was in the prime of life ; and he was replaced by a man of more than 70 years of age. They were on the eve of a war, and instead of sending members of the Board of Admiralty favin'place to place to obtain seats in Parliament they should be directed to devote the whole of their energies to a supervision of the dockyards, so as to place their naval force in a state of effi ciency to meet any crisis that might arise. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAK INGTON—I must, in the . first place, sir, ex press a very great doubt whether a clu'Jstion such as that which the right hon. baronet has novey,sit to me is onewhich ought in strict propriety to be put i'n this house. (Oh, oh, and Hear, hear.) The very fay' ain which he has shaped the question shows that he entertained some doubt as to its propriety. He says he will Di s k " whether I will have any objection to state." Now, 'sir, we all know that in the for mation of Governments and in the conduct of Governments `personal arrangements and communications take place be tween the gentlemen of whom these Governments consist; communications perfeatly fair and honourable in themselves, but which are not irdended to be, and ought not to be, sub mitted to public qriestion and answer hi this house. (Hear.) Having thus 'guarded myself against admitting the pro priety of the question, I beg distinctly to say, that as far as I am eanerJrned in this case, I have no objection to answer the querAion ; but on the contrary, I am very glad the right hon. ;' ,Jaronet has afforded me an opportunity of doing so. Sit, before answering the inquiry which has been addressed to. me, I think it right to remind the house that for a very Long period all successive administrations have felt it to be, not their interest merely—for it rests upon higher grounds —but their duty, to endeavour that some of the naval mem bers of the Board of Admiralty should occupy seats in the House of Commous—(hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches)—in order that they might be able to touch upon those professional subjects, and to answer those professional inquiries which we all know are frequently brought under public attention. Sir, I have looked back as far as the year 1819, and I have found that from that year there has not been one Board of Admiralty previous to the present which has not bad some naval lords occupying seats in this house; there has always been one, sometimes two, andirequently three. Lord Melville had in some years only one, but for many years he had two. I n 1830 Si r James Graham had two naval lords in the house, in 1834 Lord Auckland had three. Lord Minto h a d somet imes two and sometimes three; he had three in 1837 and in 1841. Lord Haddington had in 1841 two, and in 1843 three naval lords in the house. Lord Ellenborough in 1846 had three; Lord Auckland in 1846 had two, and in 1847 three. Sir Francis Baring in 1849 had three, and in 1850 two. The Duke of Northumberland in 1852 had two ; Sir James Graham in 1853, and throughout the remainder of his administration, had one. From 1855 to 1857 Sir Charles Wood had one naval lord here, Sir M. Berkeley. When Parliament was dissolved, on the advice of the noble viscount opposite, in 1857, Sir M. Berkeley lost his seat for Gloucester; and the short period that intervened between the last general election and the month of Feb ruary last year was the first time during 40 years that any Board of Admiralty was without a naval lord sitting in this house. (Hear, hear.) Sir, when the present Govern , ment was constituted, at the end of February, 1858, I felt, as all previous First Lords of the Admiralty had no doubt felt, that it was most desirable that some naval member of the board should have a seat in this house. I requested an hon. and gallant friend of mine, who was a member of this house, to accept a seat at the Board of Admiralty. Much to my regret my proposal was declined. I then constituted the Board of Admiralty in a manner the general efficiency of which has been acknowledged; but which has always been subject to the serious disadvantage that not one of the naval lords has had a seat iuthis house. (Hear.) The house cannot have forgotten to what an unusual extent our atten tion was occupied during the Past session, and has been occupied up to the present time during the present session, by discussions on naval subjects ; and notwithstanding the great and well-known competency of my hon. friend the Se cretary of the Admiralty, I have felt, and felt very painfully, the great disadvantage—l say again, not a party or a per sonal disadvantage, but a disadvantage connected with the highest interests of the public service—l say I have painfully felt this disadvantage when I have had to contend in argu ment with such men as my noble and gallant friend the mem for Sandwich, and the gallant admiral the member for Southwark. As a civilian, I have felt the disadvantage of not having that professiodal assistance on these subjects of which every one of my forredecessors • 40 years had the benefit. (Cheers.) Sir, under these circumstances it was my wish, and it was my intention, with the full concurrence of my colleagues, to avail myself of the first opportunity which might arise to endeavour to supply this serious deficiency. The first opportunity arose a few weeks ago, when a vacancy occurred at the Board of Admiralty in consequence of my appointing Captain Drummond to the command atWoolwich. Having a vacant seat to fill up on that occasion, I sent for Captain Carnegie, and in a personal interview I requested him to accept the vacant office ; but I told Capt. Carnegie at the time the serious disadvantage to which I found my board exposed by having none of its naval members in this house, and I asked Capt. Carnegie fairly and openly whether he would accept the vacant seat, with a clear and distinct understanding that he was willing to enter the House of Commons whenever he might be required so to do by the Government, for any fairly eligible seat. (Laughter.) Capt. Carnegie required eight-and-forty hours to consider this proposal. So far as I remember the proposal was made in a conversation on Saturday. Everything that passed between us was verbal. Nothing was taken down in writing, and I am very sorry for it. He requested till Monday, I think, to give me an answer. On Monday he came to me again, and told me that he had considered my proposal, and the condi tion with which it was acco m p an ied, and that he should be happy to accept the offer. (Mmisterial cheers.) On that oc casion, wishing that there might be no misunderstanding, I repeated to Capt. Carnegie in plain terms what was the condition, observing that the public service required that there should, if possible, be a naval member of the board in the House of Commons, and I asked him whether he was willing to accept that condition. Capt. Carnegie again clearly understood it, and accepted the office with that con dition. Accordingly, Captain Carnegie joined the board. Nothing more passed on this subject until the Government had decided to advise the dissolution of the present parlia ment. I, as a matter of course—and I don't thivk the right hon. gentleman (Sir B. Hall) can blame me for so doing — then reminded Captain Carnegie of the understandinffm to which he had entered ; and, so far as I can recollect, j men tioned to him three—there were certainly two, azidit i f . sa three—seats which, so far as I could judge,i p resen t ed d, he would very fair chance of success, and which, I oblige the Government by contesting. Sir, to my surprise Captain Carnegie showed on that occasion a hesitation 'On the two succeeding days which I could not understand. he showed not only hesitation b u t vacillation, and at th e that he didnot • made it known intend end of three days he which he took office. (Hear.) I to fulfil the conditions on to say that on think it is hardly necessary for m e _intimating Carnegie offered his resignation, and I this intention, Cap t. think it is still less necessary for me to add that I at o nce and immediately acc ep ted Carnegie that resignation.. (Ministerial cheers.) But, sir, I told Capt. on that o ccas i on last that his resignation at t he moment, at the el even th hour was in m y opinion by no means a compensation for his breach of the engagement into which he had entered. (Renewed cheers.) Now, sir I will not und er t a k e an , thing so painful as to impute to a gentleman of Captain Carnegie's high social and professional standing, that he deliberately and intentionally violated an honourable un derstanding ; there may be some explanation of the cir cumstances which is satisfactory to his mind ; but, sir, I am bound to say this, that I am unable to reconcile the course which Captain Carnegie took with the hon ourable engagement into which he had entered with myself. (Cheers.) Sir, the right hon. gentleman in the course of his reference to Captain Carnegie proceeded to advert to circumstances which I confess seem to me to have very little to do with the questions which he put to me. He referred to rumours that I had offered the seat which was vacant to Sir William Hoste, and afterwards to Admiral Mundy. I pass over this part of what fell from the right hon. gentleman with this simple statement, that a seat at the Board of Admiralty being vacant it was absolutely ne cessary to fill it. I certainly did very much wish, for reasons which I have already mentioned, that the gentle man who undertook to fill the office should also consent to come into Parliament; but whether or not one officer or another did accept that seat or did see reason to refuse it, is a matter which I really think neither the right lion. gen . (Loud tleman nor the house has any right to inquire int o. the Ministerial cheers.) Well, sir, I have thus exp lained exact circumstances connected with Capt. Carnegie i wi ll now, with the permission of the house, give a si milar ea planation planation with regard to Sir R i c hard Dundas. As soon was decided as the dissolution of the' present Parli am ent ni c hard Dundas.

To a certain class of operators notwithstanding four months of constant experience, the idea that the Emperor Napoleon yet intends to promote a pacific adjustment on a basis that shall clearly recognise the treatyrights of Austria, and consequently prove such as can be accepted by that Power, while it will utterly disappoint Sardinia, seems still within the capacity of belief, but the public at large have become less credulous. Tho suggestion that France will disarm, and thus undo all for which she has been draining her exchequer for years past, is regarded as equally un worthy of reliance, and it is likewise seen that if an arrange ment were patched up to-morrow with the existing feelings of France, Austria, Sardinia, and Russia still left in play, the prospects of the repose of Europe would not be, in the slightest degree, better than at this moment, —From the Times' City .eirticle. 1031 111 149 101/ 3 931
