CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England weekly retu rn , ma d e up 12. to the 10th inst, is of a more favourable character 5 ° than was generally anticipated. Th e diminution 13i in the other securities and the addition to the reserve St. of notes are nearly equal, and shows that commerce 25 still labours under considerable depression. The bul- 25 lion, notwithstanding the withdrawals of specie for st. the continent, exhibits a slight augmentation. The st. public deposits have considerably increased owing St. so to the active c o ll ec ti on o f t h e revenue ; t h e private 20 deposits have decreased, and in the active circula- 20 tion there is a falling off of about half a million. i 10 The various items in the balance-sheet and the 50 changes they present are shown in the following 25 t table : St. ketive circulation Decrease 25 Bullion Increase Rest Increase Public deposits Increase Other deposits 18,900.771 0 Decrease Seven-day and oth er bul g y Decrease Government sec ur iti es Nu alteration. St. Other securities Decrease Notes unemployed L,crei.se 6C Owing to the withdrawals for expo r t to F r a nce , 16 it was expected in home quarters that the bullion 1 3 6 t, would have exhibited a slight deeline ; but it 16 appears that, in addition to the accumulation 9 through Australian and other supplies, there 2 0 is a steady influx of coin. Yesterday about W 100,00 W. was taken out of the Bank ; but, 1p SS several vessels are overdue from the st. Antipodes, it is thought that the deficiency thus 12i occasioned will be so on rep l ace d . z 5 St. The Continental exchanges yesterday afternoon 25 st underwent no partic u l ar a lt era ti on . 10 . The inspectors of th e es t a t e o f M essrs . Harman!' st. Cox, and Co., have announced a first dividend of 5t.,,, 48. in th e p oun d. A s i m il ar p a y m ent has been 2 1 decided upon by Messrs. Rehder and Boldemann. tOO These firms suspended during the crisis. 25 10 The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed 20 quietly, and prices continued to decline. The sales were estimated at 3,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the speculators and exporters.

The funds opened with an improved appearance owing to the settlement of the misunderstanding between this country and France.

When Spain committed an act of oppression and treachery on an Englishman, he, believing that his last hour was come, after describing the horrors to which he was subjected, com• mended his soul to God, and vengeance to his coun try. He (Mr. Roebuck) said on the part of these men that though they west abroad, they went abroad with the great tegis of their country over them, and that they might walk the waters as safely as they might the floor of that house ? What was the worth of ElIg• land's navy, England's name, or of England's power, if they did no t protect E ng li s h su bj ects wherever they went ? (Hear, hear.) These men were in pursuit of peaceful objects ; they did nothing contrary to any law and yet they were treated in this cruel way, and one of them lost his reason in consequence of the severity of a Neapolitan imprisonment. We stood by, and were told not to use unaimable language. Unaimable language ! When ho knew that one of his fellow countrymen had been rendered insane by the conduct of Naples—(hear, hear)—he should be unworthy of his position as an Eng. lists re i n pr w e i h e a n t t e t r veci i in,le Erig f he di raise elm i h g i h s t b vo e i , c e a n a d n w d t ever say Government mi g h t be in office, it was the duty of e th v at, England and England's Government to defend them. (Cheers.) Mr. W. EWART said that it appeared to him that the circumstances of this case had completel changed, for it was now clear that the Cagliari bad been seized not in the waters of Naples, but on the high seas, It was upon that view of the case that Count Cavour founded his excellent and dignified deepatcb. He now wished to ask her Majesty's Government whether it was their inten tion to act with the vigour which signalised the Sardi nian Government by sending a memorial to the Govera ment of Naples on this subject? (Hear,) The only consistent course for this country to adept under the altered circumstances of the case was to demand the observance of international law, to vindicate the rightle of Englishmen, and the claims of justice. (Hear.) Mr. HORSMAN said be agreed with the hon, and learned member for Newcastle that tLis question (*laid not be suffered to rest where it was, and whethe r it was the pres en t G overnment or the late Government who were in fault, it was now high time for the House of Commons to take this question into their own hands, and that they should make themselves acquainted with all the facts of the case. (Hear.) If, as appeared to be the ease, these facts were uncontradicted, he must say that, after these two countrymen of theirs bad been for ten months in this state of imprisonment, the position cf that house was most humiliating, and the conduct which had been pursued was not creditable either to the Ministry or to the hones. (Hear, hear.) A. despatch of Count Cavour's appeared in the public papers which had not been laid before the house. That docu ment bad, he presumed, received an answer from the Neapolitan Government, a copy of which answer was no doubt in the possession of her Majesty's Government. He wished to ask whether it was not the fact that the Neapolitan Government admitted that the capture of the Cagliari was made on the open seas ; and if that vessel was such as was described, and her capture effected in the (Ten sea, he would ask the late Attorney-General or the present Attorney-General, or any lawyer in the h whether that capture was not an illegal capture. (Hear, hear.) And if the capture was not legal, whether the detention, the imprisonment, and every subsequent proceeding was not a violation of international law I (Hear, hear.) If that was the fact, and the state of the law, was it any answer for the right honour a! le gentleman to tell the house that the last Go ve:nment chose to submit to have two British sub jects imprisoned and tortured, and dealt with in such a manner that both lost their health, and one his reason f (Hear, hear.) Though her Majesty's Government knew this to be illegal, though they knew tbat those outrages were perpetrated against their countrymen in violation of international law and every principle of justice, were they to be told by th e G overnment that they found themselves in this condition, that they cmild not back the demand of Count Cavour , and that Sardini a must fight this battle by h erse lf t If, when the new facts be came known to the present Government, they persisted in that course, especially when the despatch of Count Cavour was made known to them they were as much to blame as the late Government. He wished to know from the right hon. gentleman whether there would be any objection to lay on the table all the papers conneced with this subject. He should like to have the communi cations that passed between the late Government and the acting consul at Naples, between the toting consul and the authorities at Naples and between her Majesty's late Secretaty for Foreign Affairs and the Neapolitan mieistry. He thought the time was come when they should have before them all the information, so as not to remain any longer in ignorance of the real circum stances of the case—(hear, hear)—that the time was come when they should insist on putting an end to that system of secrecy—(che,rs)—which might be well suited to despotic governments, but which was alien to the feelings cf a free constitution, and in consequence of which our own international affairs were so constantly getting into difficulties. (Hear, hear.) He thought it right to give the Government notice that whatever they did now this house would justly hold them as respon d Bible as if they were ire office six months ago--(ob, oh, and hear, hear)—for eveey act which they now commit ted with a full knowledge of the real facts—as respon sible as if they were originallyparties to the transaction. The house should insist on the production of all the papers without reservation, in order that they might be enabled to farm their opinions on the judgment they should pronounce. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE said he felt they were falling into a discussion, or rather into a half discussion, cf a mat• ter of immeasurable importance, under disadvantage' which must preclude any progress —at least any satis factory progress towards a solution. His principal ob ject in rising was te express a hope that her Majesty's Government might be inclined to accede to the request of the right hon. gentleman who bad just spoken, and produce the papers asked for. (Hear.) He did not understand that any negotiations were at present in pro gress, he thought the aspect of the facts was such as to make it the duty of the house to take them into their careful consideration. (Hear, hear.) He was not pre pared in the present state of the information he pos- sessed, to join with those who were prepared to cut blame on the Government which now held office. He thought it impossible, without a much more minute knowledge of the facts and circumstances than the house possessed, to paws any opinion with regard to the celpability or blamelessness of any Government with respect to this question. It turned very much upon dates. It appeared that originally there was a complete misunderstanding with regard to the facts of the ewe. He regretted that his bon. and learned friend (Mr. Roe buck) entered at all i n t o th e hypothetical c a se , a nd argued what it would be the duty of this i Govern to do if this vessel had been captured n N eapo litan Thy now knew that she was not captured in men Government waters.e Neapolitan waters,h w hore fault did i w d a t s h a a t t first supposed that she was. From w error arose if not from the fault, at least out of the pro ceedinge of the Neapolitan Government. This paint seemed to be of essential and vital importance in the consideration of the question ; for if the error arose out of the prooeedings of the Neapolitan Government, it clearly followed, as it appeared to him, that the Neapolitan Government could not be entitled to take any benefit whatever by its own wrong. (Hear.) If the admissions made by the late Government were admission' which were made when they were mis informed as to the facts, these admissions were net binding on her Majesty's present advisers, and still less on the House of Commons (Hear, hear.) But what be trusted m i g h t prove not to have been the case—what he trusted be should be informed not to have been the case—was that no further admissions had been made, because it was now a long time since they read the account cf the despatch of Count Cavour; and be con fessed it was with pain, shame, and astonishment, h. found that the duty of vindicating the law of nations-- foauftvo intoindicattihnegltahoeds of feeble righ t s o Sardinia, of Englishmen— andnoshtoouflmd mighty England. (Hear, hear.) H e trusted they should have all the circumstances of the case before them. It wan true our position was most unfortunate, because the proceedings bad now reached a point that any expres- sion of the wishes of the house might be too late, and appear ridiculous in the face of the world—that term to say, after the trial had been brought tope alcso::trfeeclpups:ibnoissai,;. But, at the same time, partly with r egard to these men, rightbut involved,m ore andwith t h r e e gar d question to theof ministerialp i ci bdity, it was most impertent, in hi s j udgment, unless it could be shown hat public inconvenience would arise from the contrary course, this house should be placed in immediate and full possession of the facts (Near.) He must say this, that, if there was any reluctance on the part of the present government to produce the papers, it could not be any interested reluctance, because he knew they could not have any selfish motive in refusing them, and if they refused to produce them, he was sure thiy would be able to state strong reasons of public conveni enceli and p r i nc i ple for such refusal. none such exi s t e d , he h requ e st w hi c h h e thought ha d b een judiciously made by e hear.) to the the right h on . gentlemanoped they would.(ira accede r , Lord PALMERSTON said the case to which the die cussion related was one which occupied for a considera ble period the anxious attention of the late Government, Ift a iohb n uee d they s nrdatany onny o hul d ground fo NeapolitanG hv their Government b ron mee countrymen, which eunut ttwr most oyh mmi e g ahnk l a . we d o(S l auo f lm t ed h ae her demandy, a rh o ee o alurel led to upon But through the whole course of the transactions they were guided by what they were told, by those who were the best able to judge, were the principles of international t law.

Mr. DISRAELI said it was due to the house to elate that within the last hour her Majesty's Government had received a communication from the Government of. France, and he was happy to say that those painful mi , conceptione which had for some time unhappily prevailed bad been entirely terminated in a manner and in a spirit friendly and honourable, and in a manner which he believed would be satisfactory to the feelings as he was sure it would be conducive to the in terests and happiness of the people of both countries. (Hear, hear.) He would lay the despatch on the table as soon as he received her Majesty's permission to do so. (Hear, hear.) PUBLIC BUSINESS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I will also take this opportunity, with the permission of the house, to indicate the course which we propose to take with respect to public business. The requirements of the public service are at this moment so urgent that we shall have to appeal to the cordial assistance of the house to enable us to carry even those measures which are abso lutely necessary for the service of the country. There are at this moment supplies to be granted for the service of the present expiring financial year, and it will also be necessary to go into committee of supply with reference to what will be immediately necessary for the financial year ensuing. The house will remember that at the close of last session of Parliament, in the month of August last, in consequence of the rebellion in India, a bill was passed, permitting her Majesty to embody the militia under circumstances different from those which were contemplated by the then existing law. By the then ex isting law her Majesty could not embody the militia un less the country was in fear of an invasion, or was actu ally at war. In August last we were not at war, but the house thought that under the circumstances of the case it was necessary to give her Majesty power to embody the militia without reference to the conditions imposed by law. Now, the state of affairs in India are not such as to render it prudent to withdraw that power from her Majesty, and we therefore propose to ask the house to continue the act of last year. One consequence of the passing of that act in August last, however, has been that a considerable expenditure was incurred beyond that contemplated in the estimates when they received the approbaticn of the house. A vote of 200,0001. was taken for the militia ; but the expenditure which has been in curred in consequence of the act of August last I should take to be about 700,000/. ; and it will, therefore, be as cessary to pass a supplementary vote for the present financial year, in order to meet the increased expenditure on account of the militia. That vote has been presented to you to-night, hut, of course, we cannot pass it in a com mittee of supply till Monday. With regard to the supplies to be granted to her Majesty fer the coming financial year, they must be voted b e f ore the Mutiny Bill can be in troduced ; and what we propose, therefore, to do, i s to take the course which h as been usual under extraordi nary circumstances lik e t h ose of the present year — v i z., to ask the house to let us take the votes on account for the great services of the country. It would, however, be extremely difficult to pass the votes of ways and means that would be the result of agreeing to those votes on account, and also to pass the Mutiny Bill before Easter. I trust, therefore, that the house will on Tues day permit orders of the day to have precedence over notices of motion.. I hope also that hon. gentlemen will on this occasion forbear from any discussion on the estimator,. Of course it is not, and never will be, our desire to curtail di scuss i on on the estimates, an d i f the house will take th e course I have pointed out, will per mit the votes on account to be taken, m y right hon. friends will postp one their exposition of the state of their respecti ve d epartments until the estimates are regu larly brought b e f ore the house, and then hon. gentlemen will have an opportunity of proposing those motions which now appear upon the paper, and which, under other oircutnstancee, th ey ht bare thought it their duty at on ce to bring forward I trust the house will consent to this proposal, by which, according to my calculation, the votes of ways and means might be in troduced on Wednesday next ; but with the utmost for bearance on the part of hon. members, and by availing ourselves ef every opportunity of pressing it forward, we should not be able to carry the Mutiny Bill till the end of the month. I hope that the suggestions I have made will be agreeable to the house—that they will allow us to go into supply and obtain thissupplementary vote for the militia, to take votes on account for the army and navy, and to permit orders of the day to have precedence on Tuesday ; and then, I t hi n k , we shall be able to accomplish before April the passing of those measures which are absolutely necessary for the public service of the country. (Hear.) I now take the liberty to move that this house at its risin g do adjourn to Mon day next. THE OATHS BILL. Mr. NEWDEGATE gave notice that in consequence of the elevation of Sir F.
