The following bills were considered and read a third time :—Great Western Railway, Hedon Corporation and Borough Improvement, Wem and Bronygarth Roads, and Manchester and Buxton Road. The South-London Railway (No. 3) Bill was read a second time. BERWICK AND BEVERLEY ELECTIONS. Mr. WALPOLE brought up a report from the general committee of elections nominating the committees to try the Berwick and Beverley election petitions. Mr. LAING brought up a bill for regulating the sale of wine in confectioners' shops. eating'-houses, and refresh ment-rooms. The bill was read a first time, and ordered for a se mnd reading on Monday next. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Several petitions were presented in favour of a compre hensive measure of Parliamentary Reform. DUTY ON BOOKS. Mr. M. MILNES gave notice that, in the committee on the Customs Act, he would move that the duty chargeable on all books, except English books, imported from abroad, should be discontinued. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BILL. Mr. L. KING moved the second reading of this bill. The fault of the measure was that it did not go far enough, but that defect could be remedied in committee. The ob ject of the bill was simply to extend to clergymen of the Church of England the same freedom with regard to reli gious worship enjoyed by Nonconformists and other sects of Dissenters. As the law at present stood, clergymen of the Church of England could not preach except in places licensed by the bishop of the diocese, while Dissenting ministers could preach without any such restriction. There were several places in the country so remote from the parish church that a large number were deprived of spiritual teaching. In many localities so situ ated there were persons who would advance money and supply different buildings for the performance of divine worship, and there were several clergymen without cures who would be happy to preach if they could do so legally. Having quoted an extract from a speech rec en tl y d e li vere d by the Earl of Shaftesbury, to show the extent of the spiri tual destitution that prevailed throughout the country, not withstanding the means provided for public worship, said he had the evidence of a clergyman to prove th at preac hi ng in theatres was attended with the most b ene fi c i a l results° among a class who would not have entered an ordinary place of worship. Yet, according to the opinion of Dr. Phillimoro, preaching in such places was clearly illegal, and opposed to canon law. Ho appealed to the house to pass the bill on the ground of expediency and Christianity. Mr. H ;RSFALL seconded the motion. Mr. WALPOLE contended that the bill proposed, in reality, an alteration in the canon law and would prove utterly inoperative in accomplishing the object proposed. Lord R. CECIL also opposed the bill, and argued that it would virtually deprive the bishop of the diocese of due control over a clergyman who might, under certain circum stances, preach heretical doctrines and create religious dis turbance. The noble lord alluded to the presence in the house of persons of the Jewish persuasion, who were not in favour of the teaching of Christianity. Sir F. GOLDSMID, who was loudly cheered, said he would not have taken part in the present debate, except for the reference of the noble lord to memb ers o f t h e house who professed his (Sir F. Goldsmid's) religious profes sion. He and other members of that profession were de sirous that persons born in the Christian religion should be instructed in Christian knowledge. (llear, hear.) As an evidence of eincerity, he would refer to the manner both himself and others of his co-religionists who were con nected with the country by ties of property discharged their duty as landlords in reference to this matter. They had established several churches and schools where Christian instruction was supplied and religious ceremony performed. (Rear, hear.) Mr. MILNES bore personal testimony to the manner in which the three members of the Jewish families in that house had discharged their duties, He strongly objected to the bill. Mr. GLADSTONE expressed regret at the allu sion of the noble lord to members of the Jewish profession, and maintained that it was very un likely the deliberate character of the house would be affected by the admission of members of that persuasion. The views of the noble lord tended to the exclusion of all those who ware not members of the Church of England.. More than 30 years had elapsed since they admitted persons of different denominations into that house, and, as the re presentative of a large number of clergymen of the Church of England, he could bear testimony to the admirable manner in which they acted in abstaining from using their position in the house to injure the interests of the Church establishment. He opposed the bill as calculated to intro duce anarchy in the discipline of the Church. Mr. HonsFALL and Mr. AYRTON supported the bill. Mr. CROSS assented to the _principle of the bill, but con sidered that its details should be altered. Mr. DANBY SETH° UR supported the bill, as it was calculated to extend the utility of the Church of England, by imposing a greater pressure on the bishops, and improv ing church discipline. Mr. BOUVERIE moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. After some observations from Mr. BASS in support of, and Mr. ADDERLET against, the hill, Sir G. C. LEWIS en t ere d a protest against the doc trine laid down by the noble lord (Lord R. Cecil) as to the Christian character of the house being affected by the ad• mission of Jews into the Legislature. He felt bound to support the amendment, as he considered that the bill would not effect the object of the promoter. It had been objected to the Church of England by those in favour of the bill that it did not provide sufficient accommodation for those who were desirous of attending divine worship, and it was contended that by the provisions of the bill th a t d e f ect would be remedied. That he denied, for in his opinion the principle of allowing divine worship to be celebrated in private houses would tend to the extension of religious discord and religious fanaticism. For instance, a person who might quarrel with the bishop of a diocese might offer a building for the purpose of divine worship, and introduce a minister to preach there who, being independent virtually of his clerical superior, might disseminate whatever doctrines he fancied. (Hear, hear.) If it could be shown that any practical grievances existed in reference to the Church of Eng land further than the want of adequate accommoda tion, which could be met in a different way than that pro posed by the bill, he would be prepared to consider a mea sure that would remedy such grievances. He must, how ever, strongly protest against a bill like the present, which merely announced general principles without supplying the machinery requisite to accomplish the object contemplated by the mover. Mr. NEWDEGATE strongly opposed the bill. Mr. BAINES, as a disinterested party, advocated the bill, which he considered would free the clergymen of the Church of England from unjust and unnecessary re restrictions. He believed that it would bo conferring a greater benefit on the people than any evil that would re sult therefrom if they facilitated the means of disseminating religious instruction, and the performance of the church service more generally throughoty, the country. Mr. LEFICOY opposed the bill as its provisions extended to Ireland, an d as it wou ld not be productive of beneficial results either to the clergy or the community. Lord ASHLEY opposed the bill, because he objected to any interference with the legislative functions of the pre lates of the Church of England. Col. SYKES supported the bill, and alluded to the prac tice that prevailed in India, where the performance of Di vine worship took place in places other than those that were consecrated, and which was attended with considerable ad vantage to the cause of morality and religion. (Hear.) Mr. HARDY opposed the bill on the ground that it was not called for, and that it would lead to confusion in the Church of England, and to the introduction of nonconfor mity in its doctrines. Mr. CONINGHAM supported the bill, and he believed it was founded on the principle of religious freedom. He contended that the principle of liberty applied equally to religionas well as to common sense, and he regretted to see the Chancellor of the Exchequer always on ecclesiastical subjects come forward attired in the drapery of protection. Mr. MELLOR supported the bill, on the ground that there was no other measure before the house to meet an admitted evil. Mr. SPOONER supported the bill for the same reason. Mr. LOCKE KING replied, and suggested that, as the house appeared to be in favour of the principle of the bill, it should be read a second time and then committed pro forma, when he would endeavour to meet the views of hon. members in the alterations he would propose. (Cries of " No, no," " Hear, hear," " Divide, divide.") The house then divided-- For the second reading ........ 131 Against it 163 Mfik;rity Tbo motion was accordingly lost. COUNTY CLARE ELECTION. Lord STANLEY brought up the report of the commit tee appointed to try the merits of the county Clare election petition against the return of the sitting members, which was to the effect that Colonel Luke White was not duly re turned, and that bribery and treating had been committed, but without the consent or knowledge of the said Colonel White. MARRIAGES (ENGLAND AND IRELAND) BILL. This bill went through committee, and the house re• ADULTERATION OF FOOD OR DRINK BILL. The various clauses having been agreed to, a suggestion was made that the clause restricting the bill should be struck out, it being urged that it ought to be extended to Ireland and Scotland. bill to England, but it was understood that before the third reading sovae c msultation should be had with the Attorney•Gleneral for Ireland and the Lord Advocate to ascertain whether it could not be extended to Scotland and Ireland. On clause 2, which had been postponed, the committee divided— For the clause Against it Majority —lO7 The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad journed at six o'clock POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE HAVIARKET THEATRE AND ASSAULT.-Mr. Henry Hugh Beckett, of 12, John-street, Bedford-row, solicitor, was charged before Mr. Beadon with being drunk, creating a disturbance at the Haymarket Theatre, and also with assaulting police constable George Stroud, 144 A, a constable on duty at the theatre. From the evidence of the constable, it appeared that at half-past 10 on the previous night, while on duty in the Haymarket Theatre, he saw the defendant, who was in the boxes, standing up and talking at the top of his voice at the time that the performances were going on. Seve ral persons requested him to be quiet, and finding that he Would not he (Strand) went to him and told him that he must sit down and be quiet or leave the theatre. The defendant called him a -- vagabond, and asked why he spoke to him. lie was then, to prevent further disturbance, obliged to remove him from the boxes, and in doing so the defendant struck him a blow on the chin, and he then took him into custody and to the Vine-street station. Mr. Beadon asked why he assaulted the constable ?; The defendant said he was taken very ill, and wished to know whether his worship would allow him to make the constable a present of a sovereign ? Mr. Beadon said he would allow nothing of the kind whatever. The defendant was then ordered to pay 405., or a month . for the assault.

THE LATE CASE OF HOCUSSING AND ASSAULT.—Mr. Henry Allen, the prosecuting officer of the Associate Insti tution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Pro tection of Women, applied to Mr. Selfe for a copy of the depositions against a person named George Church, a caulker, of Glaucus-street, Bromley, who was committed from this court to take his trial a few days ago for an assault of a very grave nature upon a girl named Emma Lewis, whom he first made Insensible mit) then decoyed Into a coffee-house brothel, No. 2, high-street, Stepney. Mr. Allen said the parents of the girl were very poor, and could not afford to pay the costs of a prosecution at the sessions. The case was one of a very serious description, and the girl narrowly escaped ruin. It was, therefore, considered ad visable that the Associate Institution should prosecute, and instruct counsel in this case. Mr. Selfe granted the application, and directed Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, to furnish Mr. Allen with a copy of the depositions. A PROTECTING ORDER.—A very respectable woman, named Phcebe Stockley, of No. 2, Little Union-place, Stepney-green, in the Hamlet of Mile-end Old-town, ap plied to Mr. Selfe for an order, under the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act, to protect her property, which she had acquired since the desertion of her husband. She was married to her husband at Heston Church on the 18th of September, 1853. He deserted her on the 9th of Septem ber, 1858, and emigrated to New Zealand and she had never heard of him since. Mr. Selfe—llas your husband over sent you any money Mrs. Stockley—Not a farthing. Mr. Selfe—llave you obtained a living by your own industry ? Mrs. Stockley—l have, sir, and my child too. I have had no relief from any other source, and I don't expect to see my husband. Mr. Selfe—You may have the 'order, but you must register it in the County Court within ten days or it will be of no use to you. 7111 S DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very scanty supply of English wheat was on offer in cur market to-day. Although the attendance of millers was limited, the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at fully Monday's currency. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, and the in quiry was chiefly restricted to small parcels, but at extreme rates. Floating cargoes supported former terms. The few samples of barley on show were readily disposed of at extreme rates. For malt, the demand was much restricted. Prices, how. •Ter, were supported. The oat trade was in a sluggish state, at late quotations Beans were a dull sale, but not cheaper. Peas and flour commanded full currencies. ARRITALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

Several petitions were presented against the abolition o. church rates. THE SEE OF ROCHESTER. Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that en Friday he should ask the noble earl the President of the Council whether there was any intention of dividing the vacant see of Rochester so as to constitute a bishopric of St. Albans, or whether it was intended to transfer the see of Rochester to that of St. Alban's, so that a portion of that diocese migia be added to that of Canterbury. POOR LAWS. The Marquis . of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from Wicklow, complaining of the action of the Poor-laws in Ireland. SUNDAY TRADING. Lord CHELMSF ORD said it would be in the recollec tion of their lordships that a few evenings ago he pre sented a petition, signed by 20,000 persons residing in dif, ferent parts of the metropolis, against Sunday trading an i that he also promised to bring in a bill on the subject. There hare been a number of committees on this subject, and nearly all reported in favour of legislation to !put an end -to such a pernicious system. The several reports of these committees had been so volumi nous, that legislation had been up to the present time im possible. it was true a bill had been introduced in the other House of Parliament, but it did not pass into a law, and the measure he had the honour now to introduce he trusted would go far to improve the state of affairs. The extent to which Sunday trading was carried on their lordships could imagine, and ho had been in formed that, in many parts of the metropolis, more money was turned on Sunday than on any other day of the week. It was his earnest desire to put an end to such a state of things as far as it was possible. B u t one o f th e circumstances that tended more than anything else to the encouragement of Sunday trading was the payment of labouring men late on Saturday night which left the poor man only the Sunday morning to make his little purchases. He was glad, however, that in many of the highest establishments of the Crown, in the Arsenal, and at the different docks, the workmen, he believed, were now paid on Fridays. Until that system be more ge neral, he proposed to limit the hour of Sunday trading until 9 o'clock in the morning, when it was to cease. The bill was not one of coercion, but one of protection, and he trusted that it would be so looked upon, as his only de sire was to benefit all patties, and endeavour to put down a system which was fraught with such evil results. • The bill was then read a first time. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Blackburn Gas, the Silverside and Newcastle Rail • way, and the West Middlesex Water bills were read a second time. TIIIRD READINGS. —Therfollowing bills wero read a third time and passed : Finn Valley RAitway, Dublin and Wioklow- Grunty Fen Drainage and Improvement, Dublin and King ston Railway, Belfast and County Down Railway, Clearing house (Ireland), and Grand t urrey Docks and Canal. ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Lord CRANWOR,TIIpropmed an addition to one of the clauses, to the effect that no attorney or solicitor should be eligible to act as a magistrate in the county in which he carried on a practice. The amendment was agreed to, as were the other clauses, and the bill passed through_committee. BENEFIT SOCIETIES AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Monday. VALUATION OF PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. This bill, on the motion of the Duke of ARGYLL ; was read a second time. TILANSFER OF CONTRACT'S BILL. ' The Duke of ARGYLL moved the second reading of this bill, which was for the transfer of all contracts for the pos tal service from the Admiralty to the Post-office. Lord COLCHESTER asked for an explanation of some provisions of the bill. The Duke of ARGYLL stated in answer, that the con tracts would be entered into by the Board of Trade, under the direction of the Admiralty. Lord MONTEAGLE wished to have a return of the contracts which would be transferred by this bill. The Duke of SOMERSET gave some explanations, from which it appeared that the main object of the bill was to transfer the contracts of the Board of Trade. The Earl ofELLENBOROUGH expressed his approval of the bill. In answer to Lord COLCHESTER, The Duke of SOMERSET Said that the naval officers in charge of the packets would still be under the orders of the Admiralty. The bill was then read a second time. ADMINISTERING OF POISONS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. MEDICAL ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee. PETITIONS. The Bishop of OXFORD presented various petitions against any alteration of the law of church rates without providing some equivalent. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. PADMORE took the oaths and his seat for Worcester, on his election, in the place of Mr. Laslett, who had retired. PRIVATE BILLS The following bills were considered and read a third time :—Liskeard Water; London and North-Western Rail -vay and St. Helen's Canal and Railway Companies; and North London Railway. The following bills were read a second time :—South Devon Railway ; and South London Railway (No. 3). ARCHDEACONS. Mr. ROEBUCK moved an address for return of the offices held by each archdeacon of the Established Church of England in addition to his archdeaconry, specifying the several incomes attached to each office, as follows :—The amount, if any, received from the ecclesiastical commis sioners; the amount, if any, received from the cathedral canonries ; the amount, if any, received from the church livings; the amount received as visitation fees; with a statement of the authority, civil or ecclesiastical, for the amount of fee charged at each visitation.—Ordered. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. On the motion of Mr. KENDALL leave of absence for a week was given to Mr. Paull in consequence of ill health. MEER ALI MOORAD. Mr. VANSITTART moved for copies of the recent cor• respondence relative to the claims of Meer Ali Moored o: t'cinde.—Ordered. THE BALLOT. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that in committee on tho Reform Bill he would move the insertion of a clause to enable electors in counties, cities, and boroughs to give their votes by ballot if they preferred to do so. THE TREATY WITH FRANCE. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the Attorney-General whe ther Article 5 of the treaty with Franco applied to goods imported from France only, or from all other countries, and whether it referred to French produce only, or to the pro duce of all other countries ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that the introduction of the productions of other countries was pro vided for by the article in question, for if it was other wise a special provision would be specified in the case of France by the imposition of a differential duty in favour of that country. . _ ITALY. Lord J. RUSSELL brought up further papers on the affairs of Italy. Ihe noble lord, in moving that they be laid on the table, said—l wish to answer the inquiry made yesterday by the right hon. gentleman the member for Bucks. The right hon. gentleman, as I understood, com plained that in the debate upon the commercial treaty I had not answered various questions which were put in regard to the conduct of foreign affairs. I did not think it at all ad visable to enter at that time into a discussion as to the con duct of foreign affairs, because it would have prevented the progress of the debate, which was properly directed to tho merits of the commercial treaty. Although I took no part in that debate I have no objection—although I cannot refer regularly to what took place in a former debate—to answer the charges which were made the subject of complaint, and in the first place I think I ought to say that I should be very sorry to bo thought to have misrepresented the conduct of Lord Malmesbury, as I understood was stated by the noble lord opposite, the member for Leicestershire (Lord J. Manners). I said as far as I could make out that Lord Malmesbury had not obtained any satisfactory assurance upon the subject of Savoy from the French Government. It is of some importance to know in what state the question was left by the late Government. I find in the first page the correspondence with regar d to Savoy and Nice, ande of ' ln Capt. Harris's despatch, th e following •--" I pointed to the pages 480 and 507, showing the steps which the Govern ment had taken to ascertain the truth of this report, but whieh led to no distinct statement on the part of the French Government." Ido not consider Capt. Harris is a person likely to view unfavourably the conduct of Lord Malmesbury, and if ho had thcught that Lord Malmesbury had obtained any satisfactory assurance and a distinct statement, he would have no doubt stated it in the despatch. But looking at the despatches which aro referred to, that at 480 is a despatch from Lord Malmesbury to Lord Cowley, in which he states ho had read an account of a treaty concluded between France and Sardinia, which was said to provide for the cession of Savoy and the future government of Italy, and directed Lord Cowley to ask whether any such treaty had been concluded. Lord Cowley's answer to that despatch, which is dated May Ist, states that Count Walowski had replied that up to that moment there was no treaty whatever between France and Sardinia, but he said that under certain circumstances an offensive end defensive treaty would become necessary, but he made no allusion to the territorial question. This is what I understood the noble lord opposite to say was to be taken as a satisfactoryanswer in regard to the annexation of Savoy and );ice to France. It appears to me that it was left for Lord Malmesbury to judge whether he would pursue the inquiry further, as to whether there was any treaty or not, as in regard to this particular question there was no assur ance that there was not an understanding between the two Governments that Savoy was to be ceded to France under certain arrangements. (Hear, hear.) It was in this state, therefore, that the present Government found the question; and I think the first of the accusations brought against us is to this effect, that her Majesty's Government have pur sued a policy of promoting the annexation of Tuscany and the Romagnas to Sardinia, and that thereby we have been laying the ground-work for the annexation of Savoy to France, and which it ought to have been our business to avert. I think the accusation is foucded upon a misappre hension of the policy which her Majesty's Government has pursued. The pclicy of the Government is not a policy which requires the annexation of Tuscany and the Romagnas to Sardinia, or required them to have a separate form of Go vernment ; our policy is to endeavour by negotiations and by representations of our views to the different Governments of Europe to secure to the Italian people the power of manag ing their own affairs. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now that. o bject, is i fut the iudepeAder,ce pi It a l y , , F4§ t o by' combined if passible with such arrangements as might be red cognised by the de facto governments—by the various powers of Europe, especially by France. Well, sir, I had a message from Count Walewski, through Lord Cowley, that he hoped I would endeavour tepersuade the Tuscan official agent, who was coming here after the war, to induce the provisional government of Tuscany to be contented with the recall of the son of the Grand Duke Leopold, with the establishment of a constitution in Tuscany, with an Italian ministry, with Italian colours. (Hear.) The agent who came to this country was a person of as high a mind, of as much inte grity, and of as much disinterestedness as I ever knew a man to be. (Hear.) When he came to speak to me upon the subject I represented to him that the son of the Grand Duke was considered to be a person of cultivated mind, of liberal disposition in politics, and that he was likely, if called to rule over Tuscany, to govern it upon constitutional principles. He told me it would be impossible that the Tuscans could again receive the son of the Grand Duke Leopold. I said to him, "Why yourself were the person, when you were called upon by the Grand Duke Leopold to form a ministry, you were the person to recommend that the Archduke Ferdinand should succeed, and be the Grand Duke of Tuscany." He said, "That was perfectly true; but his conduct since then had been of such a nature as to entirely alienate the affections of the people. He went to Modena at the time of the battle of Magenta, and it was ar ranged that if the battle should be decided in favour of the Austrians, he was to marsh with a portion of the Austrian army, and take possession of Florence and Tuscany in virtue of his command of that Austrian force. Then, again, at the battle of Solferino ho was in the army of the Emperor l of Austria. lie had then decided to take his part with Austria against Italy, and wo were determined to fight the battle of Italy against Austria." I must confess that that seemed to me a reasonable objection to the restoration of the Archduke Ferdinand. At a later period there was a ques tion of another combination, and I was informed by Lord Cowley that he thought that combination might be one with which the Emperor of the French would be content, and that he would propose it to Austria. On the other hand, I asked Lord Loftus if he thought that if such a pro position were made to Austria it would be adopted, and. that proposal was for the formation of a kingdom in Central Italy. There is a despatch on the table relative to that subject, but it is quite impossible for me, although I might entertain such a proposition—although I might say that Great Britain would be content with it— to suggest any proposition with which the people of Italy themselves would not be satisfied. Well, I took means to ascertain the opinions of the leading people of Italy, and I was informed by men who knew, them intimately—ltalians and Englieh—that flees , waula-nat airree_to the ereetion of a kingdom in Central Italy. Their position was this : they said it was allowable to the Emperor of the French, if he did not wish to carry on the war any further, to make peace at Villafranca, and to confirm that peace at Zurich, but they were bound to consider in what state Italy would be left if the conquest of the Fren c h h proceedel..as far as the Adriatic, and if the kingd om • Sardinia had' re ceived not only Lombardy but V ene t :; then they would have been contented with a kingdom inCentral Italy, and also contented to take back the Archduke Ferdinand as the Grand Duke of Tuscany. But in their present position it is obvious that tha kingdom of Sardinia, divided from the Romagnas and divided from Tuscany, would be so weak, that having the fortresses of the Mincio constantly frown ing upon her and menacing her, it would be quite impos - sible for her to maintain her independence. (Hear.) He, therefore, was of opinion that nothing but a strong king dom of Sardinia, strengthened by the accession of the Ito magnas, Parma, Modena, and Tuscany would be sufficient Ito secure the independence of Italy. In the same way, as we had offered no opposition to the restoration of the Grand Duke, we exhibited no hostility to the establishment of a kingdom of Central Italy. But our whole conduct was based not upon annexation, but on the principle of allowing the people of Central Italy to form a Government for themselves and after three centuries of servitude and oppression to assert their independence, whether of Austria, or of France, or of any other power. .(Cheers.) When, therefore, we found that neither a restoration nor a kingdom of Central Italy would be accepted as an arrangement, when we knew like- . wise thatthe Emperor of the French had declared over and over again that no force should be Omployed to impose any particular form of government on the people of Tuscany, we could only come to the conclusion that if the people of Central Italy were to have their own way and please them selves, the annexation to Sardinia was the plan which they would most certainly set up. It was our wish, being desi rous that the independence of Italy should be secured, that they should be allowed if they thought proper, by a new vote or otherwise, to assert again their annexation to Sardinia, and that if the King of Sardinia accepted the act, thecoun tries thus united should become one kingdom. The next accusation is, that for a long time I was acquainted by pri vate letters and otherwise of the intentions of the Emperor of the French, if a kingdons of Northern and Central Italy were formed, to ask for the annexation of Savoy, and that I made no sort of objection against that course until the end of January. Now this accusation rests merely on the con fusion o£ dates, for if any one consults the papers, he will find that the very strongest objections I made—pushed per haps to extremes—were made on the sth July. I stated that what I conceived might be the consequence of the persever ance of the Emperor of the French in any plan for annexa tion, and what distrust such perseverance would produce. Well, no doubt Count Walewski said, and said three or four times, to Lord Cowley, in the first place that the annexation of Tuscany to Sardinia was not possible, that that was an arrangement which could never be permitted, and he hinted more than once—l think it appears in the despatch—that probably if that plan was persisted in, although the French army would not march into Tuscany, no opposition would be made to the march of the Austrian army thither, with a view of restoring the Grand Duke. Therefore, in his view of the case no such event was probable. At another time he stated that a kingdom of Central Italy might possibly be formed, but at no time was he willing to have such an annexation as the people of Central Italy desired, Therefore, it would seem that in his eyes the annexa lion of Savoy was an improbable contingency, and that it would not be necessary for me to say to Lord Cowley —" Supposing the Grant Duke is not restored, suppos- ing that no kingdom of Centrely Italy is formed, and supposing that the annexation, which Count Walewaki thought impossible, takes place, then I desire you to repeat in December the protests which you made in July." It seemed to me that such a protest would be not only un necessary, but absurd. If Lord Cowley wished for instruc tions, he would have, no doubt, asked for them in a de spatch; but, as we were willing that the people of Italy should follow their own way to independence, it was not necessary to write despatches. In January the question assumed another shape, and we were asked by Switeerland what we intended to de. Articles appeared in several of the French papers which indicated that a project was on foot fortho annexationof Savoy, and then we repeated at the end of January in terms as strong, if not stronger, than those we had used in July, the objections that are felt, and our fear of the distrust the proposal would create. In fact on this question we never concealed • our feelings or opinions from the Emperor of the French ; we never led him to T The right hogeh be lieve that this was a project w hi c h wou l d not meet with objection, n. iiat our but objections w e stated w er e. a in ;l e straightforwardma made manner e r w another accusation, which was that in making our commu nication to Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburg with respect to the four propositions; we did not say that if Sardinia an nexed Tuscany and the Romagna, in that case the Empe ror of the French would propose to take Savoy. We could not properly do that, because from France the proposition was never made, no consent was ever asked. Prince Gort schakoff said, " I am glad to find that I need not make any objection to these propositions, because they are not made." It would have been not only absurd, but improper, for us to say, " There is a proposition of the French Government, if this annexation takes place, which may be brought forward; we warn you against it." It was for the French Govern ment to mako these propositions to foreign Powers, and not for us to suggest them. What we did was to make a pro position to the Government of the French Emperor that if the peop le, by a new vote in the ir provinces and s tates , should declare in favour of annexation, we would not ask the King of Sardinia to abstain any longer from sending his troops into the country. We made that pro position to France, and there was no mistake on our part as to what we wanted to do. These are our explanations as to these various points; but then there is another ques tion which is an aggravation of all the rest ; and my noble friend who sits near me is liable to the same reproach ? namely, that we were so zealous for the independence of Italy through some chimerical views of our own, that we entirely neglected other countries. I confess that Ido not feel that as a very heavy accusation; I recollect in 1856, Lord Clarendon, with Count Walewaki, at the conference of Paris, brought forward the question of Italy; and it will be remembered that that was a conference assembled for a totally different purr ose, nainely,!to settle the peace between Russia on the one hand, and France, Great Britain, Sar dinia, and Turkey on the other. Italy had no connexion with the matter, and yet Lord Clarendon thought the ques tion of such pressing importance, and so interesting to and so menacing to the continuance o f Europe,peace, that he stated his views in the conference. He pointed out that the continued occupation of Rome and of Bologna by f • foreign troops was unprecedented, that it destroyed the indepen dence of those countries, threatened revolution, and there by imperilled the peace of Europe. He pointed out the state of the government of the Two Sicilies, and the mal-admi • - tration of justice there, and he asked the conference thus representing the various great Powers to take measures to remedy such a state of things. It would have been happy if the Austrian Government had taken that warning— (hear, hear)—but they were determined to continue their occupation of Bologna, and to continue their government of Lombardy in the same manner as before. We know what were the consequences—war within three years between those two great powers who occupied different portions of Italy broke out, and they contended in arms as to whieh should rule in Italy. We know likewise that after the peace of Zurich the appearance of Italy was still threatening. The world was informed from time to time, of the threats of Aus tria to appear against the troops of Sardinia, and on the side of France of au advance into that country. We could not think that any settlement of Italy which restored the Grand Duke or the Pope by force of arms would cone duce to a lasting settlement, We felt, therefore: a
