The last statement he believed to be 'a gratuitous assumption. The coroner also alluded to the uncertainty of coroners receiving their fees in the county of Kent. Mr, DEEDES defended the conduct of the magistrates in Kent, and contended that no difficulties were thrown in the way of inquests in that county. INDIAN PRINCES AND INDIAN GOVERNORS. In answer to Mr...S.stoeetne Sir C. WOOD ea:d he had no objec-ien to lay oa the table all the papere on the subject, and vindicated the con duct of Lord Dalhousie. WINE LICENSES. Mr. E. JAMES had the following question on the paper : —Whether, in the bill introduced by the t hancellor of the Exchequer for the granting of winelicenses, it was intended to exclude houses licensed for the sale of beer, under the provisions of the acts regulating the sale of bcer, from the right of obtaining licenses for the sale of refreshments ; and, if so licensed, then from theright of obtaining a license for the sale of wines under the provisions of his bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then pro ceeded to answer it. He observed that of course be had no authority to construe the language of the bill beyond any other person, although he was its framer; but he would describe in a few words the intention of the bill, and be was the more willing to do so because he had seen a sort of convenient analysis in the public papers, from which he did net think the effect of the proposed enactment wa4 rightly apprehended. (Hear.) The bill had three prin cipal objects in vlew—he would not mention secondary ones. The first object related to refreshment houses, as a class, without exception. The object with respect to re freshment -houses universally was to remedy an evil much and justly complained of—that they were exempted from the supervision of the police. If it pleased the house to give its assent to the provisions of this bill the effect of it would be that all occupiers of such houses would be com pelled to take out licenses at a low late, with the excep tion of certain small houses in country places. They would be thus under the supervision of the police, and subject to penalties and restraint. (Hear, hear.) The other ob ject of the bill had reference to these refreshment-houses which might properly be termed eating-houses; and an attempt had been made in the bill to define what was the true nature of an eating-house, in order to ensure a faith ful and ju s t d e fi n i tion in practice. As defined by the bill, the keepers of eating-houses would have the privilege to apply for licenses which would enable them to sell foreign wines. The hon. member asked whether it was meant to exclude houses which sold beer. His answer to this ques -tion was that he desired by the bill not to touch in any manner what was known as beer-houses, that was to sa y, drinking-h ouses k ept for the sale of ' beer and holding licenses under the Beer Acts. To a further question, whether a license for the sal. of lea would, ip.ny - fizau a disqualifi ca ti on f or the sale of wine, be must say that ;hat was a point upon which the house would have to exercise its own judgment; but as the bill stood, and in the inten• tion with which it was framed in the case of eating-houses licensed fOr the sale of beer, it was not meant that that of itself should constitute a disqualification for the sale of wine. IM PE RIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took hi seat on the woolsack it fire o'clock. THE DIVORCE ACT. The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petitio-i from Dub lin, 'praying that the Divorce and Matriwonir,l Causes Act might be extended to Ireland. The Marquis of CLANRICA.RDE presented a pition from Dr. C a hill t o a s i m i lar effect. He did not Irish t et o see the law extended to Ireland, but he thought Something ought to be done to enable parties residing in Ireand to come , to this country, and avail thEmselve.s of the provisions of the Divorce Act. The LORD CHANCELLOR said when he was amending the bill, he introduced a clause enabling Irish Protestants to come to England and avail themselves of the act, which clause was supported by all the Irish peers in the house, but it was struck out of the bill in its pro gress through the ether house. I NAPLES. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH drew the attention of their lordships to the present state of affairs at Naples. It seemed to be clear that affairs could not continue in their present state, and as a great number of English ships were in the Bay of Naples he should like to know what were the instructions given to the officer in command of those ships, and whether in the event of the King being driven to ask for protection it would be afforded. Tke Duke of SOMERSET said there were no special in structions. The ships were sent there merely for the pur pose of protecting persons persecuted by the Neapolitan Government. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII said, then he was to understand that the officer in command would only be called upon to act on the dictates of common humanity. Lord REDESDALE said he should like a more explicit answer. He was sure it never could be intended that a person guilty of high treason should escape punishment and receive protection on board those ships. The Earl of MALMESBURY also thought it was de sirable there should be some further explanation. The Duke of SOMERSET said, in acting as he bad done he was only following out the precedent adopted in countries which had been in a state of revolution. The Earl of DERBY said there had been no insurrection or rebellion. There was no overt disagreement between the King and his Sicilian subjects. Earl GREY defended the course adopted. In the pre sent aspect of affairs at Naples it was impossible to knuw whether it would be necessary to afford protection to per sons merely asking it. The mere dictates of humanity might demand it. The subject thou dropped. SAVOY AND NICE. The Earl of CARNARVON called attention to the telegram received from Turin, stating that arrangements had been made between the King of Sardinia and the Emperor Napoleon for the cession to the latter of Savoy. and Nice. He pointed out the difference between the tele gram and the despatches which had been written by M. Thouvenel, and asked whether the Government were in possession of any information which would throw a light upon the extraordinary circumstance. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the question was most extraordinary, and protested against the practice of asking questions in that house upon telegrams published in the newspapers. The despatch to which the noble lord more par sularly referred to had only been received at the Foreign office within the last 24 hours, and he must really be ex cused from entering upon a discussion of its contents. The Government, he was sure, could not be accused of keeping any information on an• important subject from the know ledge of the house. The Earl of MALMESBURY said the noble duke was quite justified in the answer he had given, and declining to enter into a discussion on the subject of a despatch which had been but recently received. He thought the noble duke was rather hard upon his noble friend, who had merely asked for information. FRENCH FORTIFICATIONS ON THE ISLAND OF ST. PIERRE. Mr. IJALIBURTON wished to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention had been called to the fact of the French Government having erected fortifi cations on the Island of St. Pierre. The hon. and learned gentleman commenced by saying that in former years it was well known that the people of almost every country in Europe used to resort to Labrador and Newfoundland for the purpose of fishing, but by degrees the fishing became confined to three countries—England, America, and France. England, which possesssed Newfoundland and the coast of Labrador, was the largest ; America, from having a right of fishing three leagues from the coast, and from having large casements for curing fish on the shore, was the second ; the third was France, which possessed two small islands, St. Pierre and Miquelon, which became the centre of a very large fishery which had flourished very much of late years. With these islands they claimed the use of that portion of the shore of New foundland which was uninhabited. Almost at any peace that had tak en pl ace for a century and a half those islands were generously restored to France. The last time those islands ware so given up was in 1814. For some years little notice was taken, but of late years successive French Go vernments had given large bounties on the catch of fish, which were so large that no less than from 30,000 to 40,000 mon were engaged in these fisheries. The purpose of France was in this way to create a nursery for her seamen ; and the result was that the French fishermen could under sell all competitors in the Halifax marker, and even their own countrymen in Quebec. They had of late ye a , * p us h e d their claims so f ar as S t. George's Bay, and had given notice to 2,000 British subjects to remove or they would pull their houses down. All the population, in fact, of that part of Newfoundland were under warning. (Hear.) The truth was, this fishery was of more importance to France than the coal of England. Theproceedings of the French in th e neighbourhood of the Straits of Belleisle had occasioned so much bad blood among the British subjects there that it was much feared a conflict would occur. The other point to which he wished to direct attention was the fortifications which had been erected by the French on the island of St. Pierre. The two little barren islands of St Pierre and Miquelon were, owing to their position, of great political and geographical im portance. They were situated at tho larger outlet of the Straits of Belleisle, they commanded the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and they were not 40 hours' sail (not steamers) from the shores of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In addition to the fortifications which the French had erected, they had made the island a naval station. lie had seen two steamers in the harbour of Cape Breton under the pretence of receiving the mails from the Cunard boats. Whatever the object, there they were ; and in the event of a war a great portion of the commerce of the country might be swept away by the privateers and war vessels lurking about those waters. By the 6th article of the Treaty of Paris it was provided " that the King of Great Britain cedes the i s l an d s o f St. Pierre Most: cumuli - Majesty, to serve as a shell er for the French fishermen, and his said Most Christian Majesty engages not to fortify the said islands (hear, hear), is to erect no build ings upon them but for the convenience of the fishing, and and to keep a guard of 50 men only for a police." In spite of this provision he knew of his own knowledge that the islands were made a naval station —there was a large coal depot there, and a large number of armed men, sailors and marines, who in a short time could take possession of the neighbouring coast. He begged earnestly to call the atten tion of the noble lord to this subject. (Hear, hoar.) SAVOY AND NICE. Mr. KINGLAKE wished to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there was any objection to lay upon the table of the house his answer to Lord Bloomfield's despatch of the 3d day of March, respecting the proposed annexation of Savoy and Nice to France. The hon. gentle man said his object in giving notice of this question was to point the attention of the house to the attitude which Prus sia had taken in the present European crisis. He found that Baron Schleinitz, Prime Minister of Prussia, had stated to Lord Bloomfield, that in all Germany there was but one opinion as to the character of the intended annexe tion ; that for a time his Prussian Majesty had trusted to the statement made by the French Emperor in his Milan proclamation, but that he now was of opinion that the time for maintaining silence had ceased. (Hear, hear.) The despatch concluded by the baron stiting that the policy of Prussia was decidedly opposed to this annexation ; and his opinion that France might now be called upon to refrain from taking any further steps until a conference of the Powers should be held. He must say that he read the do - spatch with great pleasure. (Hear, hear.) It indicated an intention on the part of Prussia to take a step as closely similar as possible to that which he (Mr. Kinglake) had ventured to indicate by the notice which he had given last week. He could not but regard that as an overture of great importance, and one to which he trusted they might, in later times, look back as the commencement of the pacifica tion of Europe. Not only was the overture itself a matter of deep importance, but the noble lord the Secretary of state for Foreign Affairs must also be aware that the puh. lication of that despatch, and the laying it before the houne, was also a matter of very deep importance. This despatch to which he referred bore date the 3d of March. Some of the papers contained in the correspondence a l rea d y pre sented were dated so late as the 9th of March, but they did not include the answer which the noble lord must have given to the despatch in question. He now, therefore, begged to ask the noble lord whether he would consent to lay that answer on the table. H e trusted, when they saw the answer to the despatch, it would prove worthy of the spirit is which the Prussian overture had been made. He would also ask the noble lord for any general information with respect to the pending question of the annexation of Savoy and Nice, be. cause he felt sure that any information which the noble lord could give would be read with grateful satisfaction. On Tuesday last, the noble lord at the head of the Government led them to expect that the proposed annexation would not take place without France consulting, and sincerely consult ing,. the other Powers of Europe. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that the noble lord would now be able to say that the expectations then held out had not been falsified —that the rumours of the last two days were inconsistent with the truth, and that it was not a fact that the Emperor of the French, in spite of all he had said, was proceeding to that annexation without consulting the great Powers of Europe, and that he was carrying annexation to the extent of in cluding Chablais, Faucigny, and Genevois. He trusted that the information which the noble lord might give would relieve much of the anxiety which now oppressed Europe. (Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL, before the noble lord rose, wished to ask whether the noble lord was aware of the danger which, in the present state of affairs, positively threatened the neu trality and independence of Switzerland. He was loath to trespass on the attention of the house with this matter, but the time had arrived when it was absolutely essential they should give some expression to their opinion. He believed he expressed the feelings of every man in that house, and of every man of feeling throughout the country, whenho de clared that an outrage had been inflicted upon the public feeling of Europe, but which had been particularly directed against the Government of this country. They had been told over and over again that there was no danger of the French Emperor proceeding to the extremities which were now threatened; but he had himself received a telegraphic despatch from Anneoy, in the district of Chablais and Faucigny, assuring him that the country was worked (Ira. vailNe) from one end to the other, and the municipalities of the district were perfectlyready to vote annexation to France.

COBDEN'S POLITICAL SENTIMENTS. Mr. BRIGHT drew the attent;on of the house to a per sonal matter having reference to his hon. friend the mem ber for Rochdale. The hon. member for North War wickhire had made a statement in a speech on the budget, in which he attributed to Mr. Cobden, being influenced in regard to the commercial treaty by his leaning towards the policy of the Emperor of the French. That statement was made upon the authority of a Manchester paper notoriously hostile to Mr. Cobden. He (Mr. Bright) had received a letter from Mr. Cobden disavowing alto gether the sentiments attributed to him, and requesting him to ask Mr. Newdegate to retract his assertions. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that there were some inaccu racies in the report of his speech on the occasion alluded to. At the time he made the statement complained of, he had read a letter in the Mandester Guardian attributing to Mr. Cobden the political sentiments which he considered him to have entertained. However, he did not rest his opinions on that letter, for he considered that Mr. Cobden had for years advocated institutions which were not free institutions. The hon. member here read the letter in ques tion, as well as ex t rac t s f rom various speeches delivered by Mr:Cobden during some years past. After a few remarks from Mr. BnrGirT, the subject dropped. CHURCH RATES. Lord J. RUSSELL presented a bulky petition from the Dissenting ministers of London against the continuance of church rates. =.......,.......,_.._ THUNDERSTORM AT BELGIUM, &c. Mr. FREELAND asked the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention had been called to a despatch from our Minister at Brussels, dated the 24th February last, stating that on the preceding Sunday a violent thun derstorm, accompanied by an unprecedentedly heavy fall of snow, had overspread Belgium, that twelve churches had been simultaneously struck by lightning, and that three of them had been totally destroyed, and others much injured. Whether he had seen a paragraph in the Times of August, 1857, stating that the flag-tower of Windsor Castle had been struck by lightning, and that about four tons of the parapet had been displaced ; and whether any provision had been made, or is to be made, for securing the public buildings which are under the control of the Board of Public Works against such injuries or destruction by lightning, as have occurred at Windsor Castle and in Belgium ? Mr. COWPER said that his attention had been drawn to the accident in Belgium, but he saw no reason to depart from the usual custom in respect to adopting additional means for securing public buildings from accidents by lightning, as such would be attended with considerable expense. With regard to Windsor Castle, the damage alluded to had been repaired at a cost of 30s. (A laugh.) INDIAN MILITARY MEDICAL OFFICERS. Mr. BAZLEY asked the Secretary of State for India, whether the medical o ffi cers o f her Majesty's Indi an A rmy have had all the pri v il eges conceded to them which the royal warrant of lst day o f O c t ., 18 58, entitled them to re , cm.? Sir C. WOOD was understood to answer in the affirma tive. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE TOLL asked the GATES Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce any measure, during the present session, on the subject of the toll gates in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, in consequence of the report of the Royal Commission thereon ? Mr. CLIVE said that inquiries on the subject were in progress, and that h e cou ld not at present supply the infor mation required. OYSTER FISHERIES. Mr. CAVE asked the President of the Board of Trade a question respecting certain papers which had been moved for relative to 1 he oyster fishery. Mr. M. GIBSON said that there had been no motion made on tho subject, but he had stated on a previous occa sion there were no papers of any use to be laid on the table. With reference to France, there had been no remonstrance on the part of that State on the ►ubject. FORESHORES (SCOTLAND.) Mr. FIN LAY asked the Lord Advocate whether he had received a memorial from certain proprietors and road trustees in the county of Argyll, complaining of the claims made by the Crown to the foreshores of Scotland, and to the property of the solum or ground of the seashores up to high-water mark; whether he had in consequence, com municated with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and with what result ; and whether the claim by the Crown to the property of the whole foreshores of Scotland was made in accordance with the advice and opinion of the law officers of the Crown in Scotland ? The LORD-ADVOCATE said he had received the memorial in question, and explained that the Crown bad been advised by the law officers of Scotland in regard to the subject. PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION (SCOT tion of the house was one of the greatest importance. Per haps the house would allow him to touch on one of the expressions in it, because it showed that the Cabinet of Prussia had taken up a dignified attitude, which he hoped and had good reason to believe, that her M a j es t y ' s Govern mint was also very desirous to take up. Lord Bloomfield said in No. 21 despatch, page 23, that Baron Schleinitz told him that in Germany there was but one opinion cn • this subject, and that was one of determined opposi- Lion to the annexation of Savoy; and that the baron had also informed the French Minister that the Cabinet of Prussia had found it difficult to restrain the violent feeling excited in Germany by the war iu Italy. Now, the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) said the other night that the war in Italy was merely carrying out the policy that the empire was peace. Now, it appeared that Baron Sehleinitz had stated that the Government of Prussia had made them selves unpopular by endeavouring fo restrain the feeling of the people of Germany; but that it must not be eon sidered that their eilcncc with regard to Savoy introit indif ference—because they viewed the absorption of Savoy with the greatest mistrust. Surely this house ought to view the matter in the same light; and every country in Europe was I Quad t) give every opposition to this policy of aneexatien, which Lord Derby the other night declared had been com menced under e feeble pretext of danger from another country. If such a pretext were accepted as sufficient, it would be sufficient to justify the seizure of the Rhenish Provinces and Belgians. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, news papers were now published on the Belgian frontiers, openly advocating annexation ,with France, slid showing the advantages which would be derived by abolishing the _ dorteniees—(hear, hear)—and every Tower in Europe should endeavour to check with vigour such a policy. Its could net refrain from making some allusion to the conduct of the Government of Sardinia in this matter. Everybody in this country believed Count Cavour to be a disinterested statesman and eminent 'patriot; but he must say that on reading his despatche s it appeared that he was not only endeavouring to deceive the Government of this country, , but that he was acting with a mock dignity which was quite unworthy of his position. Count Cavcur, writing to the Sardinian '.Minister at Paris, M. Xigra, said the King of Sardinia would not consent to cede, sell, or exchange any part of the territory which formed the glorious appanage of the House of Savoy; but he doted the despatch with tiles* words—that he could not refrain from taking into conside ration the change which late events in Italy had made in the state of the people of Savoy. Sir James Hudson said Count Cavour called on him and said he could only repeat to bins that. Sardinia had no disposition to cede, sell, or ex change Savoy or any part of his Majesty's domistions, but • he ended by saying—" After all, the question is a question for Savoy, and ~,, t far „any- other -kingdom " Why, this was not a French, not a Savoyard, but an European ques tion. (Hear, hear.) It was not a question whether Savoy should be incorporated with France, but whether the Ring of Sardinia could give up this appanage of the House of Savoy, this inheritance of his ancestors; whether Europe at this moment would allow the King of Sardinia, in a pri vate arrangement with the Emperor of the French, to give up that which he had enjoyed ever since 1315. lie restricted it to that period, because Savoy was then re -annexed to Sar dinia, and the King of Sardinia received 10milliensof francs to fortify it. The question was whether Europe would allow the King of Sardinia now to part with that territory. Tho thing was impossible. The hon. member for Binning.. ham said theothernight—"Perish Savoy." It had perished, and he hoped tho hon. member was satisfied. They would have " perish Switzerland" next, and we should have "perish all the liberties of Europe." The hon. member said besides, " After all, the map of Europe, as regarded the limits of the States of Europe, was not worth ono moment's consideration," and more than that, the hon. gentleman asked, "Do you want to settle the map of Europe !" "No," he answered, " the people of this country de not want to settle the snap of Europe, but they do not want to unsettle it." (Hear, hoar.) They did not want to recommend Go vernment to pursue a comae contrary to its dignity, bat they did want to check and curb the policy of France, which had outraged public opinion and had roused the in dignation of Europe. His hon. friend and himself some nights ago, in the first discussion of this question, were told that this was not a subject of importance as respected England. Time had shown the great gravity of this ques tion. While advocating the interests of Savoy and Swit zerland they had been pleading the rights of nations and the cause of justice. (Hear, hear) He wanted her Majesty's Government to come forward in a loyal and straightforward manner and protest against the conduct of France. He denounced his policy ; for the union of France and Savoy would not only affect the future interests of Piedmont and the future condition of Savoy, but it was the first act of a conspiracy against the rights and liberties of every State of Europe. Mr. WHITESIDE called attention to the memorial from certain British residents in Spain, presented to the Secre tary of State, complaining of the restrictions put upon the exorcise of religious worship by them, and he asked whether the law of Spain visited with punishment a British subject resident in Spain for professing any other religion thara that of the State, or for sending his children to any ether than a Spanish school. Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to the question of the hon. and learned member for Launceston (Mr. Haliburton) respecting the Island of St. Pierre, said there is no doubt that fortifications are forbidden by the treaty of 1763, and also by the treaty of 1783, but the treaty of 1783 was made at a period when this country did not stand in so high a po sition as in 1763. But in the year 1856 the attention if the - __Poraisrn....erw.---...u...4-.., toss - quesuonianuthe state of facts was submitted to the law *Aeon of the Crown, and they were asked whether the buildings existing or con structed at St. Pierre were any infringement of the treaty with Franco. Their reply was that they did not consider anything had been done which was an infringement of that treaty. The question was again submitted to the law otti• eers last year, and their opinion confirmed that of the law officers in 1856. Wo have not heard anything which tends to show that there has been any new building, or anything different from what there was in 1856. Now, in answer to the hon. and learned gentleman the member for the Uni versity of Dublin (Mr. Whiteside), we are continually ap pealing to the Government of Spain with a view to obtain permission to the British residents to have worship in their houses, and the repeal of some of the intolerable provision. of the Spanish law. The penal law of Spain declares that a person who shall celebrate Divine worship other than ac cording to the Catholic religion shall be subjected to ban ishment ; and there are some other provisions of a similar character. But besides all these provisions, it seems 'to be either the established practice, or perhaps the established law, of Spain that thiS law shall be put in force by the clergy by their calling in the civil force when there is any infringement of the law. There was a case some time ago of a child, born of British parents, which was baptised by the medical attendant, who was a Roman Ca tholic. The child was buried in the Protestant cemetery, and the priest called upon the alcalde of the phase to have the child disinterred, and reinterred in the Roman Catholic centetery. Mr. Buchanan exertei himself very strenu ously in the matter, and at last prevented this being done. It is not the fact that Mr. Buchanan is at all indifferent to, or neglectful of, these questions. But to attempt to change the law on this subject is quite hopeless. The law is very bigoted, the Government is very bigoted, and the people are still more bigoted than either. But the Government and the civil authorities have no objection by way of indulgence of allowing, on the representations of foreign Ministers, in certain cases worship to take place in private houses; And with regard to the education of the children, if there were several of them, I suppose there would ha some indulgence in that respect. My hon. friend the member for Bridge water has asked for the answer to the despatch from Lord Bloomfield of the 3d of March with regard to Savoy. Now, that is a despatch containing an account of the conversa tion between Baron Schleinitz and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Prussia and the French Minister, and therefore it does not call for an -tamer from me. We have continual intercourse with the Government of Prussia, and more than once I have had conversation with Count Bernstorf4 the Minister of Prussia in this country, and we entirely agree in our views as to this annexation. (Hear.) Ido not know that I can say more than I said both in July last and January of the present year, but we continually express—as the hon. gentleman will see is the papers to which he alludes —we have continually expressed both at Berlin and atrienna, and also at St.retersburg, ourobjections to the annexation of Sa voy, leaving them to take the part they should think eight-On the question. I cannot say that I have heard frail Vienna any satisfactory account of any steps which the Austrian Government will take on this subject. There are reasons which every member of this house will imagine why the Go vernment of Austria should not be particularly zealous that there should be no portion of the dominions of the King of Sardinia, seeing that both in Lombardy and in Tuseanyshe has lost dominions which belonged to her or to members of her house. However, it is now a month ago since I made representations at Vienna, and afterwards I made represen tations at St. Petersburg, and it certainly disappoint mentisao to her Majesty's Government, copside i ti on ng as been long a time has elapsed, and that the annexa v t enot h received as it were impending any notice that there is to be any gre atprotest eation. The con of these Governments against that ann exation. all this time, that we ha on the part deal of the charac ter of Count Cavour is Certainly e - m a g leer for Tamworth has member Cavour said, some tine ter which my hon. friend th c e ou given to it ; beca use Bins despatch, to th at say if ago, that the part of the of w S h a e r n dinia would not cede or sell Savoy, he goes on, in the ]suer disposed to belong to another the people of Savoy are .em pire, the King of Sardinia might regret it, I,l* that, howe ver should not object . to it . Nov , I certainly f ee l that that is a v ery extraordivary and unnecessary de c l arat i on. We know very we 11 that there are countries—there have been coun tries lately which have felt themselves so oppressed by their Governments that they wished to sever the connection. But we never heard that in Savoy there Was any such feeling. There has been no indication till lately that the people of Savoy wished to sever their connection with Sardinia ; and itis therefore a singular, and I,should say an unprecedented thing, for a Sovereign to say—" These subjects of mine are much attached to me ; I value them very much. At the same time, if they wish to sever their allegiance and belong to an other country, I h ave no objection to their doing so. " It certainly looks as if the King of Sardinia was not unwill ing to part with Savoy. I must say that our position has been a good deal influenced by this. If the Powers of • Europe decline to interfere—if they feel no great interest as this subject —if Prussia and Groat Britain are the only Euro pean Powers that feel a great interest in it, and if the King of Sardinia is apparently willing to yield this territo,ry, it certainly has become a very difficult matter to oppose the annexation. (Hear, hear.) But there is another r 4int which I am now going to state to the house; because, aft er the questions that were asked of me by a noble lord nt t now LAND.) In answer to Sir J. FEROUSSOIS The LORD ADVOCATE considered that th e h on. mom , ber should have postponed his question till Monday, when the bill would be brought before the house, lie would ob serve, however, that the details of the proposed reform could be understood from the bill. CHINA. Lord J. RUSSELL laid on the table of the house papers relating to China. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. In reply to an IloN. MEMBER, mr, S. HERBERT said that the army estimates would be brought forward some day before Easter. ADJOURNMENT OF 'TIE HOUSE. • journ Mr. until Monday LAING moved that th e h ouse at its rising do ad • THE DEAD BODY DISCOVERED IN KENT. Mr. T. DUNCOISIBE asked the Home Secretary if his attention had been called to the fact that the body of a man, of the name of Thomas E. Kean, recently found dead in the woods near Seal, in Kent, was interred without any inquest being held upon it ; and what steps had been taken in con sequence. The hon. member entered into a statement of the circumstances already published relative to the deceased. Mr. MILDMAY drew attention to the differences that prevailed between magistrates and coroners in reference to the fees of the latter, which ha contended operated injuri ously in respect to the holding of inquests as in the present ease. Mr. CLIVE explained that the Homo-Office had power to compel coroners to hold inquests. In any difference that arose between them and magistrates, all that Government could do was to introduce a bill on the subject, which they had done, and that bill had been referred to a select committee. The coroner for the district where the event in question took place had been written to, and replied that the man had wandered in the woods, having previously loft his boots at a house where he was staying, ~. ~
