The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Fishing Vessels Passing the Nore Bill was read a second time. Mr. NIIRRIS movdd the followin :—That the Colne Valley an Halstead Railway Bill, as amended in Com mittee, be referred to the examiners of petitions for private bills, with instructions to examine and report whether the standing orders of the house have been complied with in relation to the amendments made in Committee. That all petitions complaining of non-compliance with the standing orders in relation to the said amendments be referred to the examiners, with instructions to hear parties and their agents and witnesses thereupon. After some discussion the motion was withdrawn. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of and against he Endowed Schools Bill. NAVY. On the motion of Mr. BRAND the following returns were ordered :—Return of the number of screw ships and vessels of her Majesty's navy afloat on the Ist day of February in the years 1855 and 1858. Return of the ships and vessels added to the navy between the 31st day day of March, 1858, and the Ist day of June, 1859, distinguishing those which were added in accord ance with the general scheme of works for the year, and those which were added in consequence of subsequent orders ; and also of the frigates and sloops which would have been launched according to the general scheme in works for 1858-9, but which were deferred on account of the men being removed to convert ships of the line. Return of the sums voted, and of the sums expended for wages of the dockyard in the years 1857.8, and 1858-9 ; showing in the latter year the sum inserted in the original, in the re vised and supplemental estimate. _ ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL. Mr. DI LLWYN moved the second reading of this bill. The hon. member having adverted to the importance of this sub ject as shown by the number of petitions presented from every part of the country both for and against the bill, said there were no less than 30,000 schools in the kingdom, with an income of not much less than £1,500,000. He de nied that the bill proposed to wrest any legitimate power from the Church of England to which it was justly entitled in reference to scholastic endowments, and where the wishes of the different founders, relative to religious and seculis education were clearly expressly. To prove that he had no views hostile to the State establishment, he men tioned that he did not approve the bill brought forward in the House of Lords last session for the admissions Dissen ters to the trusteeship of these charitable foundations, be cause he did not see what right they had to enjoy such trusts in all cases. He contended that in some cases the church interfered improperly in enforcing attendance at church on children attending these grammar schools, where the founders had not specifically enjoined teaching in ac cordance with the Church of England. In many instances it was provided that the Church of England doctrines should be taught, and when there was no such provision it was to be inferred that the founders did not feel strongly in favour of any specific religious teaching. In illustration of the case'with which these endowments were framed he cited the instance of a grammar school in Winchester, in which the founder directed that the schoolmaster should not be a Welshman, a Scotchman, an Irishman, a foreigner, or a north countryman, in order that scholars might not be taught a vicious pronunciation. (Laughter.) He next alluded •to the grammar school at Ilmin ster which had excited a considerable interest, and which was the latest case relating to the sub ject at present. It appeared that the school in question was founded by two persons ir the reign of Edward the 6th, who directed {hat the trust should be administered by . God-fearing persons ; and for the last 150 years such trus tees were composed of Church of England members and Dissenters. However, the matter was brought before the Master of the Rolls by the vicar of the parish, and Sir John Romilly decided that 15 trustees should be appointed, 12 of whom were to be members of the Church of England,' and three Dipenters, increasing the latter to six. How ever, that decision was appealed against, and the Dissenters were removed from the trust. He considered that that was a state of things of which Dissenters had good reason to complain. He maintained that they were bound to render those institutions as beneficial for the purposes of education as possible, and his bill merely proposed to admit Dissenters to the benefits of these schools, except in such cases where they were expressly left for the purposes of the members of the ' Church of England alone. The educational vote was a very important item in the public expenditure, and of late years had doubled by last year no less than £663,000, and they should remember that the Dissenters were one-half of the whole population. He would ask the house whether it was politic, just, or in accordance with the spirit of reli gious freedom to exclude such a number of their fellow subjects, which, as a Protestant and warmly attached to the interests of the Church, he deemed her Majesty's Government? Th 6 hon. member concluded by an earnest sal to the house to pass the bill. air S. NORTHCOTE moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day three months. He complimented the hon. mover on the temperate manner in which he had brought the bill forward, but at the same time he felt bound to oppose it, after careful attention to the subject. He did not see how the bill could be operative, considering the function which the Court of Chancery as sumed. He thought the measure was calculated to aet very injuriously in different ways, and amongst others it would give rise to mischievous litiga tion. The effect also would be that it would super sede one state of things without supplying any substitute, and that it would secularise these grammar schools. He contended, in conclusion, that the effect of the bill would be to diminish the efficiency of the schools, and ,herefore inflict a material injury on the country. • Mr. BULLER opposed the bill. When an eironeus im pression prevailed amongst Dissentefs that according to the decision in the Court of Chancery, they were not regarded by those tribunals as " honest men" in refer ence to these trusts, he was not surprised at the nutaber of petitions presented in favour of this bll. The fact was this, the Court of Chancery put a construction on a deed only when there was any ambiguity in the expressions of the founders, and when the construction of the language was as close to the meaning of the words at the time of the drawing up of the instrument as possible. He alluded to a speech delivered by Mr. Mail, in which that gentleman stated that the present measure would be a deadly blow at the State Church, and made some remarks to show the feeling enter tained by Dissenters on the subject. He denied that in interpreting a deed the Court of Chancery were influenced by religious considerations, and maintained that they were influenced solely by what they considered to be the intention of the founder. However, it must be considered that secular education without reli g i on was imperfect, and the Court of Chancery was bound to recognise as religious i ns t ru ction the teaching of a St a t e Church. Such being the case practically, there could be no perfect religious equality so long as their was a State Church. This bill proposed to extend the benefits of those founda tions, but would it have that effect—or would the substi tution of any other system of religion in these schools prove more beneficial ? There was some difference of opinion as to the number of Dissenters, but he would assume that they were as numerous as they were represented, still it could not be denied that the Church of England was more numerous than any other sect in this country. The result of the bill therefore would evetually lead to the adoption of a secular education solely, and Vie believed the great mass of dissenters would prefer the pre sent system to such an alteration.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY), The LORD CHANctimon. took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—Charing-cross Railway, Dun dee and Newtyle Railway, Portsmouth New Dock, and Sevenoaks Railway. THIRD READINGS. The Gateshead Quay, limnpstead Junction Railway, and Vale of Neath Railway Bills were read a third time and passed COURT OF CHANCERY. Lord LYNDHURST said he had given notice of his intention to draw the attention of the house to the proceed ings of the Court of Chancery on Friday next, but as he perceived a noble lord had had a motion on the paper for that evening resuecting Italian affairs, he should postpone proceeding with his subject until next week. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he hoped the noble and learned lord would persevere in his intention, as no person was so competent to deal with the question. Lord LYNDHURST said he should most certainly do so on Monday or Tuesday next. PETITIONS. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Derby shire complaining of the exclusion of Dissenters from the administration of trust funds of endowed grammar schools, and also a petition against church-rates, and another against the trade in opium. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE read the terms of his motion with respect to Italian affairs, it was as fol lows :—" That an humble address be presented to her Ma jesty expressing the thanks of this house for her Majesty's gracious communication of the deeply important correspon dence on the Italian affairs, presented recently to both Houses of Parliament by her Majesty's command, and gra ciously acknowledges the unquestionable evidence that correspondence affords of her Majesty's earnest and important endeavours to avert the calamities of war. That her Majesty may be assured of the loyal confidence with which this house relies on her Ma jesty's determination to maintain neutrality, and that finally it be represented to her Majesty that while every suitable endeavour be made under her Majesty's authority for the completion of our defences on sea and land—the operations of the belligerent powers be carefully observed, with a view in particular of such offers of mediation on her Majesty's part as may lead to the _conclusion of peace on just and comprehensive grounds." The noble earl said he thought it would be for the conve-. nience of all parties that the question should be brought forward on Friday next. The Earl of DERBY thought that day would suit the convenience of all parties. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH BILL. On the motion for reading this bill a third time a lengthened conversation ensued, in which the Earl of GRANVILLE, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, and several other noble lords took part, the till was eventually read a third time and passed. PETTY SESSIONAL DIVISIONS BILL. This bill passed through committee. OUR NAVAL DEFENCES. Lord LYNDHURST, who had given notice of his inten- tion to draw their lordships' attention to the military and naval defences of the country, then rose and said—My lords, it was suggested to me that, after the discussion which took place the other night on the question of my noble and learned friend, and especially after the statement of my noble friend opposite and the speeches of my noble friends the two noble earls on these benches, I should withdraw the notice which I had laid on your lordships' table. At first I was inclined to do so ; but the subject is one of such great importance that it ought to be repeatedly discussed, in order to satisfy the people of this country of the necessity of submitting to those charges and those expenses which our present situation requires. I was the more disposed to proceed with this question because there is a party in this country of whom I wish to speak with the greatest respect, a party likely very soon to increase in power and influence, who are not disposed to believe that we ought to expend our resources at present in any extension of our military and naval power, and that, so far from doing so, we ought to abstain from any extension of that power, because by doing so we shall involve ourselves in hostilities. Now, my lords, I beg leave, in the first place, to say that any obser vation which I shall make will be made, not with the view of aggression, but of defence. (Hear, hear.) I shall say nothing whatever in any party spirit, for party can have nothing whatever to do with this question. (Cheers.) I shall endeavour as simply as I can to point out these cir cumstances and those topics which I think are important for the consideration of your lordships, leaving it to others who are more acquainted with military and naval details than I can pretend to be to fill up and supply the defects in the statement which I shall make to your lordships. The first circumstance that strikes me in considering this sub- ject is the great difference between our present and former position. (Hear, hear.) That is a distinction which ought never to be lost sight of. We have hitherto felt the greatest confidence in our situation and in our domestic safety. We owe that confidence to our naval superiority—to the superior number of our vessels and the skill and gallantry of our seamen. We have been accustomed always to look to what we call our wooden walls as our best defence, and experi ence justifies us in that opinion. We have sometimes, in deed, received checks and affronts. The Dutch at one time sailed up the Thames, burnt our ships in the Medway and in the river. At a much later period the combined ships of France and Spain chased our fleets into the waters of Plymouth under the heights of Mount Edgecumbe. But those clouds soon passed away. They were amply avenged, and we shone out with more distinguished lustre than be fore. My lords, there was another source of our confidence and safety, and not an immaterial one—namely, the diffi culty of transporting any body of troops from the opposite coasts to our own shores. It was impossible to collect any number of troops on an oppoite coast without being observed by us, and without giving us notice and allowing us time to prepare ourselves against them. Besides, an expedition of that kind was necessarily liable to many casualties. Any joint operation, therefore, from different points was impos sible, or nearly so. A few thousand troops might, perhaps, occasionally be landed on our coasts, sufficient, indeed, to give trouble, but not sufficient to excite any fear of danger. The greatest force that ever was landed here was that of the Pririce of Orange, amounting, I think, to about 14,000 or 15,000 men. But that force was invited to this country by some of the most eminent men in England. It was received with enthusiasm by the people. It led to no catastrophe, and James 11. retired, the victim of his own bigotry, folly, and tyranny. But that expedition was nearly defeated by an accident. It sailed down the Channel with a fair wind. When it arrived opposite Torbay a dense fog arose. It passed therefore the place where it was intended to disem • bark. It was followed by the English fleet. It was there fore in the greatest peril ; but on a sudden the fog dis persed. The wind veered round, drove the Dutch fleet into Torbay, and checked the progress of the English fleet. The English fleet shortly afterwards was dispersed in a storm. I mention this to show the accidents to which, under our old system, enterprises of this kind were subject. This was our past situation—a situation of perfect security. What is it now ? A great change has occurred. That change arises from the application of steam power to commercial navigation and to naval warfare. What do we know of the effect of that power upon naval warfare ? We have had no experience of it. No peraon can venture to predict what will be its effect. I have consulted many officers, both of the army and of the navy, upon the subject, and I have never been able to persuade myself that any one one can with any degree of confidence say what will be the result of this great change. I have read in the admirable work of Sir Howard Douglas that military officers in France be lieve that this change has a great effect upon our naval power, and will reduce it to comparative unimportance. There is one advailta.gewhich we hitherto have had in naval combat over our adversaries under the old system—the skill and experience of our seamen, and their knowledge of everything connected with the management of a vessel. (Hear.) Unfortunately, though we have not entirely lost that advantage, it has greatly lessened under the new sys tem. There is a change in the armaments in the materials, in the construction, and in the form of war vessels. A great facility of boarding arises out of the new system, and num bers, therefore, would have a great advantage. Above all, the new system of manoeuvring which must follow this new system is such that it is doubtful what would be the issue of a naval contest. (He ar. ) I have stated these points for your consideration, because you will be satisfied when you have considered them that we cannot, as hereto fore, rely with perfect confidence upon our naval defences. (Hear, hear.) Still, however, and perhaps more so in con sequence of what I have stated, it becomes necessary that we should carry our naval machinery and everything con nected with it to the highest point of efficiency, and that we should refuse no sums necessary for that purpose. (Cheers.) Let me now, my lords, call attention to what is the actual state of our navy. I will begin by referring to last year. I speak of the spring of last year, and of steamers, which are the only vessels which it is material to consider. (Hear, hear.) Last year we were in this position :—France ex ceeded us in line-of-battle ships in a small proportion, but she exceeded us in an enormous proportion in steam fri gates. At present we surpass her in line-of-battle ships considerably, but we are still greatly inferior in those im portant vessels, steam frigates. We shall, in the spring of next year, surpass her still more . in line-of-battle ships, but we shall still be inferior to her in steam frigates. This is a point for the consideration of your lordships, and for the consideration of the country. (Hear, hear.) Give me leave, my lords, to mention one circumstance which I think most material for our consideration when we are considering the subject of naval warfare. You will make a great mis take if you suppose for a moment that the relative power depends entirely on the number or size or force of the ves sel. A more--I will not say a much more important, but a v ery important power consists in trained crews of vessels. (Hear.) The French for several years have had a system of training of a most perfect kind—training in the conduct of the vessel, and training not only in the conduct of the vessel, but in gunnery. The moment a French ship is afloat that moment they have trained men ready to go on board the vessel. lam sorry to say, from all I hear and all I ob serve, we have not such a system as that to which I . have referred—a system of the utmost importance, but which in this country hitherto has been almost entirely neglec. (Hear.) Now, with respect to force. What is required, first, in the Channel ? We require not only a force for war fare equal to France, but we require something more : We require a powerful reserve. (Hear.) Franco requires no your lordships to , reserve. The reason is this, and I be g mark it. If in a coral* of the two fleets tne English . fleet should be 'victorious, we have no power of landing with any effect upon the French coast ; whereas, if we had no reserve and our fleet is destroyed in a contest with the French fleet, we are entirely at the mercy of the enemy. We have seen lately what France can effect. Suppose the English fleet defeated and d . iven from the Channel, the events which have pased almost under our eyes within the last few weeks show the great pail to which we should be exposed from the extraordinary facility with which a military force to an immense amount might at once be landed on our shores. But it is not sufficient for us to have a Channel fleet capable of coping with the country directly opposite to us. Our Channel fleet must certainly and necessarily be of an amount sufficient to cope against any two Powers which may be united against us. (Hear.) We know full well that at this moment the Russians have seven or eight line steamers, fitted for sea. If by any accident or by any event, which might easily occur, we should be engaged in a dispute with France and with Russia, we should be in a very , unfortunate situation if we had not a naval force sufficient to combat both those Powers. (Hear, hear.) Our naval power is essentially defensive. It is absolutely essential to our security. The naval power of France is not defensive — not necessarily so. It is aggressive, in its character. (Hear.) Then, I say, with respect to the amount of the Channel fleet, if we wish to be in a state of security, if we wish to main tain our great interests, if we wish to maintain our honour, it is necessary that we should have a power measured by that of any two possible adversaries. (Cheors.) It is not very easy beforehand to say what that power should be, but we must watch events and extend our naval power accord ing to the necessity of the case, and whatever necessity re quires, whatever the expense, we must submit to incur that eipense. (Cheers.) The Channel fleet is only one part of the force necessary. We must .have a fleet sufficient to command tUe Mediterranean. If we have not a fleet suffi cient to command the Mediterranean, every one of our strongholds will inevitably fall into the possession of France. Not only would that be the case, but the desire and the wish of the first Emperor to convert the Mediterranean into a' French lake would be at once realised. (Hear, hear.) Do your lordships suppose that that idea is aban doned ? Far from it. I recollect very well .that when the present Emperor, of whom I wish to speak in terms of respect, made his southern tour, and when he, arrived at Bordeaux, declared that " The Empire is peace,"—l recollect in that progress, when at Marseilles, and about to proceed from Marseilles to Toulon in a fleet of war ships, reference was made to this desire of Bonaparte. Was it repudiated ? It was adopted by the present Em peror amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience assembled on that occasion. (Hear, rtear.) But, allow me to say, with respect to a fleet necessary for commanding the Mediter ranean, if France has the command of the Mediterranean, what is the inevitable consequence ? She will be able to leave and return to the Mediterranean at her pleasure. She will be able to take our Channel fleet in flank at any mo ment. She will be able to unite her Mediterranean and Channel fleets. She will be able to cross the ocean, and one by one to take possession of our colonies, and she will be able to sweep the ocean of our ships, and destroy our whole property. (Hear, hear.) It is necessary, then, not only to have such a Channel fleet as I have stated, but such a fleet as will enable us completely to command the Mediterranean. (Cheers.) Something further is still necessary. We must have a fleet for the West India Islands. T admit not a strong fleet, nor do I pretend to say where that fleet should be stationed. I must leave that to military and naval per sons to determine. There is another point . with respect to the Mediterranean. Unless we have the command of the Mediterranean—if we are driven out of the Mediterranean, what is our situation with respect to India? We cannot communite with India, except round the Cape of Good Hope, while France will be abre to communicate by a direct and easy course by means of Egypt and the Red Sea. What would be the result of that state of things I leave your lordships to imagine. (Hear, hear.) I have thus shortly directed attention to what I conceive to be necessary in reference to a Channel fleet, a fleet in the Mediterranean, and a force for the protection of our colonies. There are one or two points more to which . I beg leave to refer. I find by examining the report of the commissioners for man ning the navy they recommended a reserve of seamen. That reserve, I consider, should be made immediltely with out the least possible delay. (Hear, hear.) It should be so considerable and so well-trained as at any moment when necessary to furnish able gunners to ships in commission. (Hear, hear.) There is another point, my lords, to which I beg leave also to refer. It relates to a matter of great importance—the efficiency of our arsenals. It is of the ut most consequence that they should be as effective as possible, and that the docks and slips should be of such dimensions as to be adapted to the present size of our vessels. In that respect they are, as yet, greatly defective. There ought to be, also, such a system of machinery as to enable us, at a moment's notice, and with the greatest rapidity, to fit out armaments for our ships of war. (Hear.) These, my lords, are the observations which I have to offer on this occasion with regard to the naval part of the case. I trust that what I have stated in that respect will meet with your lordships' concurrence. (Cheers.) Of this I am persuaded, that the more you examine the different parts of the sub ject and investigate the whole the more strongly will you be impressed with the necessity of incurring whatever ex penditure may be requisite for *purpose of accomplishing the objects to which I hhve called your attention. (Hear.) But, my lords, that to which I have been alluding consti tutes only one portion of this important subject. Hitherto, as I have already observed, you were, notwithstanding the absence of your fleet, comparatively in a state of domestic safety for the reasons which I mentioned. But what is your position now ? In what state would you be if your Channel fleet were dispersed or abient, or from any cause removed for a short time from its proper station ? The noble lord the leader of the other House of Parliament has told you in very emphatic words that steam has converted the Channel into a river, and thrown a bridge across it. These are truly emphatic words, hilt they hardly exceed the reality. They are scarcely exaggerated. Mark, my lords, the state of things which has been more than once detailed. We know from recent experience that the materials of war may without exciting any observation be placed on board ship on the opposite side of the Channel. We know that in a few hours a large army may by means of the rail way, and without any notice whatsoever, be brought down to the coast to different points of embarkation. The facility of embarkation is quite extraordinary in conse quence of the new provisions made for that purpose by France. We know that such a force as that to which I refer may within a few hours—in the course of a single night—be landed on any part of our shores. (Hear, hear.) With so much certainty, indeed, can the movements of such a body be regulated, that from different quarters its compo nent parts might arrive at the point of disembarkation without any difference in point of time, (Hear.) That is the state of things, my lords, with which we have to deal. You will very naturally ask what probable force could be brought together in the manner I have described. It is not my province to give an opinion upon such a question. Military and naval men are the proper persons to form a judgment with respect to it. I may, however, be permitted to state one or two circumstances which may serve to guide you in arriving at a just conclusion on - the point. I ow that in 1849, when France sent troops to Civita Vecchia, one frigate carried a distance of 300 miles 2,000 soldiers with all the munitions of war. lam further aware that a much larger force than that can be embarked for a short period of time on board a frigate, and a force still greater on board a ship of the line. I know from information which I have received, and the accuracy of which I do not doubt, that the French are at the present moment building steamers for the purpose of transporting troops, each of which is being constructed to carry 2,500 men with all the necessary stores. (Hear, hear.) This, therefore, is the description of force which you must prepare yourselves to meet. Ido not mean for a moment to say that there is no risk in such an adventure as that against which 'I would call upon you to be on your guard. No great military en terprise can ever be undertaken without ; some risk, but I believe from all I have read and heard, and from all the consideration which I have been able to give to the subject, that the risk in the case to which I am adverting is much less than it has been in many instances in which the result has been attended with success. (Hear, hear.) What then, my lords does it be come our duty to do ? What precautions does it behove us to take ? What force ought we to maintain •in order to be prepared for any emergency which may arise P My answer is a force of regular troops—not yolunteers—not undisciplined men, but, I repeat, a force 9f regular troops, capable of opposing any military force which in'any proba bility can be 'landed on our shores. (Hear, hear.) It is absolutely imperative upon us to maintain such a force. It is a duty which we owe to ourselves. It is a duty which we owe to the character of our country. (Cheers.) But, my lords, independently of all this, we must provide for our garrisons, and also for that which is of greater import - ance still—our arsenals. (Hear, hear.) They are--I re gret to say it—at present in a very imperfect state of de fence. Much exertion, much expenditure, and much eng ineering talent will be necessary for the purp ose of plac: ing them in such a position as to prevent their being l seized upon as the result of a sudden attack. If lam as iwsetahheofuolrdcekewehip up,ch the my sa au f a e w ty er of i t e , ethcoaut nom. n a n s u t s a that ton Y ter d . e c m o . point I put down that force at at least , with many persons competent to form an 100,000 oon regular n gu t l h a e r of the b troops,odied and a nd trainedw h whin I militia, say regularwhile troopstdhaiinnwkelw. thereien include i l ll u ist d hih e ae: itvhed(eHhmeee Hear, equal force of disembodied and tr d hear.)

We must,cif reland events, my lords, provide equally for the eafe lLs the as_ or our own. In the years 1804 and only periods, I believe, in which we were threatened seriously with invasion ' by France, the force which we ma i ntained was much grea t er than that which I have just mentioned.

If we wish to live in security, to maintain our interests abroad, to uphold the honour of the nation, we must be willing to make every exertion necessary :::for the li h accomp s ment of an ob ject something like that which I have pointed out. (Hew.) I have experienced, my lords, something like a sentiment of humiliation in ' going through these details. I recollect the day when e ad ed by very part of the opposite coast was block an English fleet. of Camperdown and that of t Vincent, won by Sir J. Jervis. Ido not forget the great . victory cen o t f the last of all, that triumphant fight et Trafalgar, which al most annihilated the navies of France and Spain. I con trast the position which we occupied at that period with that which we now hold. I 'recollect the expulsion of the French from Egypt ; the achievement of victory after Vic to in Spain ; the British army established in the S outh of France, and then that great battle by which that war was terminated. I cannot glance back over that Pries of events without feeling some degree of humiliaiinn when. L aue called upon to state in this house ,the measures which I deem it to be necessary to take in order to piovide for the safety of the country. But I may be asked; 4 ‘ Why dUyou think such measures requisite ? are we not in alliance with France ? Are we not On terns of friendship with Russia ? What other Power can- molest - us?" To these questions, my lords, my answer shall be a short and a simple one. I, will not consent to live in dependence on the friendship or the forbearance of any country. (Loud cheers.) 7 I rely. solely on my ewnvigour, my own exertion, and my own in telligence. (Cheers.) • Does any noble lord ,in this house dissent from the principle which I have laid down? (A pause.) I rejoice, my lords, to find that such is not the case.. But while this is a matter for congratulation, I regret to be - obliged to say that we do not stand well upon the continent of Europe. Ido not think late events have improved. our position in that respect. But I go further, my lords,' and express my belief, as the result of my. own careful observations, that if any plausible ground of difference should arise between this country and France, and that differences should lead to hostilities, the declara tion of war with England on the part of the Government of that country would be hailed with the utmost 'enthusiasm, not only by the army of Francb, but by the great mass of the French people. (Hear, hear.) If lem asked, " Will you not rely upon th e assurances, and the courtesy of the Emperor Napoleon?" • I reply that I have a great respect for that high person, and that I will not enter into any ex planation on this subject, but will leave every noble • lord to draw his own conclusions, and to form his own opinions. This, however, I will say, and I can say it without impro priety. If lam asked whether I cannot place reliance on the Emperor Napoleon, I reply with confidence that I can not place reliance in him because ha is in a situation in which he cannot place reliance on himself. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) He is in a situation in which he must be governed by circumstances, and I will not consent that the safety of this country should depend on such contingencies. (Hear, hear.) My lords, self-reliance is the best road to distinction in private life. It is equally essential to the character and to the granduer of a nation. (Hear, hear.) It will be necessary for our defence, as I have already stated, that we should have a military force sufficient to cope with any Power or combinations of Powers that may be brought against us. I know there will be great opposi lion to the expense. I feel and observe this. But look at the opposite coast. An army of 600,000 men, admirably disciplined, admirably organised, superior to any other force , of the same kind in Europe, lies within a few hours' sail of ' our own shores. That army is composed of brave troops,. • skilful, well -commanded, eager for conflict, enthusiastic, fond of adventure, thirsting for glory, and, above all, , familiar with glory. That is the Power arrayed against you. Ido not ask you to combat that Power aggressively, . but only to put yourselves in a state or sufficient defense to resist it. What have we seen within the last few weeks ? France, with a peace establishment, with no pre- • paration for war—(a laugh)—no desire for , war, . a un ced d to it— p nation that could n o t re d uce its establishment be cause failtabniguh)t—basot state ment—was ca Em us p e ero i r t tohldadue,naeuvderl a a m dv b a o n yet able in the short period of five or six weeks to transport an army of 170,000 men to the banks of the Mincio, with 200 pieces of cannon and a siege train, gain ing two great battles in its progress, besides other lesser fights, while she has a fleet of 50 war steamers in the Adri atic at this moment, with, I believe, an army of 40,000 men. (Hear, hear.) Cross the opposite coast, then, and you find the power of action, of motion, of hostility, of in jury. Are we to sit supine on our own shores, and not to Frepare the means necessary in case of war to resist that power ? I do not wish to say that we should do this for any aggressive purpose. What I insist upon is that we are • bound to make every effort necessary for our own shelter and protection. (Hear, hear.) Beside this, the questiOn of expense and of money sinks into insignificance. (Hear, hear.) It is the price we must pay for our insurance, and it is but a moderate price for so important an insurance. I know there are persons who will say, " let us run the risk." Be it so. But, my lords, if the calamity should come, if the conflagration should take place, what words can de scribe the extent of the calamity, or what imagination can paint the overwhelming run that would fall upon us. (Hear.) I shall be told, perhaps, that these are the timid counsels of old age. My lords, for myself, I should run no • risk. Personally, I have nothing to fear. But to point out possible peril and how to guard effectively against it, that is surely to be considered, not as timidity, but as the dic tates of wisdom and prudence. (Hear.) I have confined myself to facts that cannot be disputed. I think I have confined myself also to inferences- which no man can suc cessfully contravene. I hope what I have said has been in • accordance with your feelings and opinions. (Hear.) I shall terminate what I have to say in two emphatic words —Vice Victis !—words of solemn and most significant im port. (Loud cheers.) Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE (to whom Earl Granville, who rose with him, gave place) said he was not entitled by any long standing in the house to interpose between their lordships and the noble earl who had just risen. Indeed, even without reference to that noble earl, he had no claim, to address the house on a subject of this kind. But he believed he should reflect the general feeling of the house when he expressed his gratituds to the noble and learned lord for calling attention to this most important and ;solemn' subject, at so anxious a time as the present. (Hear.) That speech afforded a strong proof of the feeling prevailing throughout the country on this subject. Wlen he remembered that though the supplies necessary to take the precautions suggested could not originate in this house, and yet that subject had first been brought under conside ration here—when he remembered that the noble lord did not belong to the naval or military profession, but that his honourable, his glorious career had been passed in totally different pursuits—and when he saw him rise at a very ad vanced age and overcome the infirmities of that period of life in order to perform a solemn duty towards the country, he could not but feel all the importance of this subject, and that it had not been brought under their attention without adequate reason. (Hear.) In all countries possessing free institution at all times there had been an unwillingness to prepare for defence in anticipation of war. The feeling brought out by these institutions was a very natural feel ing of self-confidence and of unwillingness to endure sacri fices before a strong conviction of danger had arisen. He said, therefore, that it was with good reason that the noble and learned lord had called attention to this subject. Itwas well known that preparations had been made in this country, and that we had assurances from both the late and the pre sent Government that the national defences would not be neglected. He confessed that he had heard with satisfac tion some short time ago the just tribute paid to the late First Lord** the Admiralty by the present Foreign Secre tary, for the successful exertions made by the right hon. gentleman in his department. He quite agreed with his noble and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst) that it was not a question of the degree of confidence put by this coun try in foreign Powers or in the Emperor Napoleon, but that it was a shame and a humiliation that a great na tion like ours should exist for one hour under sufferance. (Cheers.) Not only must such an existence inspire a sense of shame which we ought indignantly to repel; but we thereby deprived ourselves of the opportunity of performing those duties which we owed to the world and to the Pro vidence which had placed us in a position of doing good without limit. The noble and learned lord, he believed, had indulged in no exaggeration in his representation of the means of our neighbours. When we looked to those means, and to the position which we occupied in relation to other countries, there was much reason for anxiety, and still greater anxiety must be occasioned by the changes which had taken place in naval tactics. When he looked at the growing demands upon our naval and military services for the protection of our distant settlements, and at the extent of our daily-increasingcommerce with all parts of the world he saw an additional demand for augmented means of de fence, an additional danger proceeding from abroad, and every reason for making those sacrifices which were neces sary in order to secure the safety of our shores and add to our influence in negotiation with other States. He for one put the question of invasion very much aside. Whatever reason we might have to apprehend a hostile attack upon our shores, he was still willing to believe that with a prudent and at the same time firm policy on our part, and with some feeling of regard for right on the part of others, we waren...at likely to be exposed to that immediate danger. But there were other considerations which made it an imperative duty to lose no time in completing our defences, and placing our selves in that position of security which our honour and in terests both demanded. When he looked at the high pitch of prosperity to which we had attained, at the united sen • timent that existed to an almost unparalleled extent among us, and at the fact that we possessed means of defence nearly unlimited in amount,he found it impostible to enter tain any apprehension for the fate of England. Our danger arose from too much self-confidence, from too g reat a re liance upon past successes, and from an unwillingness to but admit these changes which had actually taken p lace , was satisfied that if the warning were accepted—if at means we looked the danger in the face,. an d employed the our disposal—so far from having any reason to dread a con flict the with France or any other foreig n Power, _ day o n which we should be called upon to defend our honour and interests would prove the most glorious d a y that ever shone upon the destinies of England. (Cheers.) Earl GRANVILLE — I fully concur in the feeling of ad miration which has been expressed by the noble lord who has just spoken with respect to the speech of the noble and learned lord opposite. I fully admit that in this remarkable ' ' intellectual effort the noble and learned lord has put leis.-. views clearly before your lordships, and that those views, so l u cidly stated, contain much of truth and much of patriot ism. At the same time I cannot refrain from asking my self whether any great practical good• is likely to result from what has fallen from the noble and learned lord. (Hear, hear.) I am not sure whether the object of his observations i s to stimulate the country or to stimulate the Government, but I have no hesitation in • saying that,regards other countries, as countries, I cannot foresee any advantage in the course which has been taken. (Hear, hear.) There is nothing which gives such weight to this house as the debates which take place in it upon all the important subjects relating to our connexion with foreign States, but at the same time it can not be denied that upon each individual member rests a grave responsibility in regard to what may escape his lips. (Hear, hear.) During the first three months of the present Parliamentary session I think we had only three debates upon the delicate subject of our foreign relations. Those debates were not devoid of spirit or of frankness, but they were conducted with a prudence and discretion which were not only highly approved by the public at large, but pro duced a good effect on the continent, and even in some countries where our free institutions are little loved. (Hear, hear.) Since the accession of the present Government this house has sat only four nights, and during .three of them sharp discussions have taken place upon some deli cate matters connected with our foreign relations. One noble and gallant lord, whom I do not see in his place, spoke d facility on two consecutive nights with an eloquen ce an d in one and a precision which are certainly most r emarkable whose professional career has prevented him from ac q uirin g experience in Parliamentaay or any o ther kind of public speaking'; but at the same time I mast ssy that his attack at is present in upon the head of a Govern men t which friendly alliance with us, and st ill m ore the irritating re marks nation, were which he made upon the whole not well calculated to maintain peace between the two coon not tries. (Hear, bear.) I am bound to state, however, that the two noble earls whom I now see sitting together—l mean, the late Prime Minister and the late Foreign Secretary-- having recently felt the responsibility involved in thJa management of public affairs at a crisis like the presen 4 t, have abstained from observations of an imprudent and ix jurious character. The noble earl who was at the herd Hof the late Government has carefully abstained from takii an y part in the discussions to which I have referred, whi ile the noble earl the late Secretary of State for Foreign A 5- fairs has confined himself almost entirely to a very legil
