[Anyzartsmtxxr.l—The indefatigable researches of Dr. Livingstone have suddenly made us acquainted with one of the happiest people in the world, or whose very existence little was hitherto known in civilised Europe generally. In their ailments they never have recourse to cod liver oil, and they are equally independent of physic and the physician, for Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalonta Arabica Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, " consumption, scrofula, cancer, &c., having been scarcely heard of, and the smallpox and measles have not been known for 20 years." In England also the Revalenta Arabica has pro duced a wonderful improvement in the health of the people, removing cough, consumption, asthma, debility, indigestion, (dyspepsia) constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, and restoring the faculty of digestion, and nervous muscular energy to the most enfeebled, as proved by testi monials from the ceFbrated Professor of Chemistry Dr. Andrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ; Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram; Lord Stuart de Decies ; the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart, and 50,000 other well known individuals, wl,oso health has boon restored by this useful and economical diet, after all other means of cure had been tried in vain for many years, and all hopes of recovery abandoned. Its effect on the progress of population is most favourable as exhibited by the Registrar-General,show ing for London an average of 1,750 weekly births against a mortality of 1,200, leavinga happy gain of SSO, or near 50 per cent. in favour of progress ; a result most . cheering to all classes, as it opens a fair prospect that by the more general use of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food the, Europeau:3 soon enjoy the same freed m from disease as the I ,V, , bt Africans.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat at 5 o'clock. The Earl of VERULAM presented a petition in favour of an extension of the acts for securing ieli gious worship. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented a similar petition Lord BROUGHAM called attention to the state of the law with respect to debtor and creditor, and urged the house to take into consideration measures for the improvement of the law. Lord CAMPBELL also made a few remarks on the subject, but they were totally inaudible in the gallery. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the subject alluded to by the two noble lords was one of extreme difficulty. The law had, in his opinion, been sufficiently relaxed, as far as the debtor was concerned. On the other hand he was beset with difficulties, and his noble friend had he believed gone so far as to lay on the table a bill totally abolishing imprisonment for debt. The great difficulty was, how to deal with the debtor—it wasclear he could not be transported. What was wanted was a measure between letting a debtor get off scot free or putting him in prison. If his noble friend could intro duce such a bill he would be doing a public service. Lord CAMPBELL thought that the machinery for examining the debtor in order to ascertain how hie debts had been contraeted ought to be improved. Alter a few words from Lord WENSLEYDALE, the siibjeot dropped. SANATORY STATE OF THE ARMY. • Lord PAN VI.I.TRE wished to correct an error he had made fast evening. He had stated that Captain Peel was in command of the Naval Brigade before Sebas topol—the gallentj officer was second in com maud. He now Maid on the table the report of the commission appointed to ingaire - fato the sanatory state of the army. The report was very volu• *nous, and would amply repay perit,al; it also reflected great credit on the hon. gentleman who presided over the commission. band. The Emperor bad but one pistol, which he never fired off, and his followers had two. One of the pistols of one of the Emperor's followers went off by accident, and shot a man in the face, who SW shouting "Vivo l'Emperenr." (Laughter.) The only men who were killed were two of the Emperor's followers, who were shot by gendarmee. He thought a lame excuse had been put forward for amounting for the publication of the addresses of the " fire eating Colonels," published in the Monzteur. Mr. WARREN said if the hon, member for Finsbury imagined that he was one of those who would enter into topics of that declamatory character to which he had allnderi in discussing a question of such magnitude as this, he could sincerely assure bias that he was entirely mistaken. He felt too much the responsibility of meddling with a matter of this kind in the present state of public affairs to allow himself to be unduly influenced, as one of the representatives of that free Legislature, by a disturbing force of that character. He did not intend to follow the example set him by his hon. and learned friend the member for Sheffield in the fervid and brilliant speech which ho delivered on the previous evening, by speaking in the strongest possible terms of the Emperor of the French. The few words which he should utter would be simply such as he thought it was his duty as a member of the English Legislature and a constitutional lawyer to address to the house with respect. to the measure that had been proposed with all there4ponsibility of the Queen's Government. The observations which he was about to make were his own. He actiClii;;;;;;;tWith no one, and he therefore hoped that 174 should have the credit of acting at least independently tea this question. It he could possibly have supported het Majesty's Mini;- ters in bringing forward this bill be would have done so ; but en the best consideration that be had been able to give to it he felt it absolutely imposeible - to do-so. His political principles would always urge him to support the Queen's Government, and he frankly acknowledged that the Queen's Government bad been called upon to act at a.' crisis of very great—is might almost say, of transcentlant delicacy and difficulty: Bat be had taken his line a'= a member of that hou-e, and he believed that the bill which they had been aaked to sanction would prove utterly ineffectual, that it was derogatory to the national epirit—(bear, hear) —and that it was founded on a libel upon the laws of England as they now stood, not intentionally, but because of a milapprehension of the existing condition of those laws. And even if that were otherwise, he should venture, with very great respect, to doubt whether this was the exact time at which an independent legislators should be called upon to alter its laws. Every schoolboy knew that our ancestors had said AV olumus leges A nglice muturi, when an attempt was made to force foreign !aws upon them, and the house ought to pause before it assented on accoant of a menace from a great neighbouring potentate, to the passing of a bill which would alter a law already deemed by the Legislature to be sufficient. (Cheer.: ) Ile begged to call the attention of Government and of the hoese to two passages in oar history. In the year 1708 a certein Rus'ian ambassador was arrested in his carriage the c°a; ni ° g n h;. Sir W i lii arrt in London, at the suit of a creditor in London, t o w h om he,, where he edso,l:a,s lockedc onveyedandu p fo to r a m Imging-house, Blackstone, who could not be charged with any want of respect for the Legislature of this country, spoke of the affair in the following terms "In the meantime the Czar resented this affront very highly, and demanded that the sheriff of Middlesex and all others con cerned in the arrest should. be punished with instant death. But the Queen (to the amazement of that despotic Court) di rected her Secretary to inform him that she could inflict no punishment upon any, the meanest, of her subjects, unless warrant.: d by the law of the laud: aud therefore was persuaded that he would not insist upon impossibilities: To satisfy, however, the clamour of the foreign Ministers (who made it a common cause), as well as to appease the wrath of Peter, a bill was brought into Parliament, and afterwards passed into a law, to prevent and punish such outrageous insolence for the future. And with a copy of this act, elegantly engrossed and illuminated, accompanied by a letter from the Queen, an Ambassador Extraordinary was commissioned to appear at Moscow, who declared that, though her Majesty c °mid not inflict such a punishment as was required. because of the de fect in that particular of the former established constitutions . _ of her kingdom, yet with the unanimous consent of the Par liament she had caused a new act to be passed, to serve as a ' • ' law for the future.' This hutuiliating step was accepted as a full sati , faction by the Czar, and the offenders, at his request,' were discharg, d from all further prosecution." Half a century later, Lord Mansfield, in alluding to the circumstance, said from the judicial bench that the Act passed as an apology and hutnil'ation from the whole nation, the ambassador making excuses in a sele - nn ora tion on prorentiug a copy of it to the Czar. kilear.) Now, he should apprehend that the noble lord had no great desire to follow such a precedent, but yet let the noble lord consider that in some point that case touched upon the present. The object cf the bi 1 thus denunced was to dispense with trial by j tirjr, , 4 mitt . to enable per. tonal pains and penalties to be inflicted upon British subjects at the will of two out of three judges; hut even that atrocious violation of, the constitution was not ac eomparded by one of the ckaracteristica of the present bill, for it did not constitute the offeatio which it defined a felony. Coming to a later period, the year 1802, there had been a case much more analogous to the present during the short peace with France, and some pasmages which occurred is a despatch of Le - ,rd HawkeAury at the that time upon both ~ i des of the Channel the period . were very applicable to the present case. At teemed with articles of a most insulting; and offensive nature, and in this country appeared some h of a most violent character, professing t.) be emanations of Frenchmen. AtthatNapoleon public press time made a repre sentation to the British Government and what said Lord Hawkesbury 1 He said :--L ~ It cannot be denied that some very improper paragraphs have lately appeared in some of the English newspapers ag dust the Government of France ; it cannot be denied, like wise, that publications of a still more improper and indecent nature have made their appearance in this country, with the names of foreigners affixed to them, Under these circum stances the French G overnment would have been warranted in expecting every redress that the laws of this country could afford them ; but as, instead of seeking it in the nation themselves, or e t l east to authorise it ordinary course, they h ave thought fit to resort to recr i m i. in others, they could have no ri g ht to complain if their subsequen t appeal to his Majesty h a d f ailed to produce the effect that otherwise would ha ve a t ended it. Whatev, r may have been the nature of the p r i or i n j ury, they h,,ve, in fait, taken the law into their owu I mi d s ; and what is this recrim i na tion and retort ? The para grap h s i n the English newspaPe rs, the pub lications to which I h ave above referred, have not appeared under any authority o f th e British Govern me nt, and aro dis avowed and disap, rove d of by them ; but the paragraph in the Moniteur has app eare d in a paper avowedly official, for which the Gover nmen t are, therefore, considered as respon . siblo as his 'Majesty' s G overnni nt is responsible for the con tents of the Lond on Gazette. And this retort is not confined to the unauthoris e d E ng l ish newspapers or to the other pub lications of wldch co mp l a i nt is now made, 10-4 is converted into and made a p re t ence for a direct a tack upon the Govern ment of his Majesty. Hi s Majesty feels it beneath his dignity to make any formal comp l aint on this occasion. . • • It is not his Majesty's i n t ention to interfere in the manner in which the people or territories of France should be governed ; but he expects, on the other hand, that the French Govern ment will not interf ere i n the manner in which the govern ment of his dominions is conducted, or call for a change in those laws with which his people are perfectly satisfied." (old cries (Hear, hear.) That was a pre„ l ent wh i c h oug ht to have been borne in m i n d b y the noble lord. t of st Hear, hear.") T he noble lord had stated that the existing law was incapabl e o f dealing with these matters —that conspiracy to co mm i t murder was simply a mis. d e meanour whioh rend ere d the offender liable only to fine and to a short period of imprisonment ; but he would beg to call the attention of th e h ouse to a ve ry different estimate of the law. In the year 1842 the sth or 6th personal att ac k wh i ch was made upon the cap. 51, was rendered necessary in conse ocipieureVsnocincetooofrfitaha'e Queen, and by that Act it was enacted that ffweintshivie to inju re the ntent " Whoevever shall wilfully dis c h arge firearms, whether with or without explosive or destru c ti ve materials, at the person of the Queen, or discharge expl os i ve materials at her, o weapon, or throw any substance per son of the Queen, shall be guilty of a high mi s d emeanour, an d , shall be liable to transportation for seven ye ars , or imprison , Imenti_g for three yeara, hard labour, and whipping n thrice, if a s t tr o strike e on her th w e i Queen,tli an o ordered by a judgi." 1 wilfully konintheaeffic:scpYiracy to m nd eri t t h i a o t ne a d ct in w wltofi felon y, etl , r o a o r k r eg f uthe without nt crim eolnt g l hard ets hs eo thanperpetratorf labour 6 e f , . r any Offences olengl iyei t made ~is n eo ao a : ai r o ias o nd i oe indignante a .a s ti o t h ur o s those people years or to servitude l) m r mit p op r i °B m s o u e r i n d now e ef on rt a not exceeding three years. Did the noble liril know the distinction between a felony and a misdemeanour when he introduced a measure to convert that which was at present a misdemeanour into a felony I Di.: the noble lord not know what were the pains and penalties which by the common law were attached to miedemeanours I The house would recollect that in the year 1844 occurred the memorable case against Mr. O'Connell and his nom able of dealing effec larinotinhceaspitate to ask for greater ent to tread in the ' which were introduc eP w a l l i w n o g r ' t a h n y nde t in h w e thata t legislation,t en e ti a o s n ° S of i r a u n tßt y e'r G ePd o e v e 7 l r n in a n t . $e snot, the livhb of the "I am resolved to walk in the light of the constitution. ould call upon ; consb , u o t wr d P il t shi when n a bs c ie p l y o the rt a beotc praised e s pec ww e l dc oe n i n t rar ta dae oi dissatisfaction, hatred and t l u f a l l 1 y find i t t h h e t l h a e w ca o s f e t l h ew will Government and his companions of the t p h o e w h o o r n fr s o o in t t o he c L om eg p is e l l tt t u h r e e.

This was the indictment aimed in that case against a treason able conspiracy, and when the noble viscount spoke sligb,ingly of liqa and iroprialnme nt be seen-ied to forget ..,iii.t'i eiht.,:e .:1i,: , , inEttuu)ent rf ji3,iieial w.ftriare had been applied it had produced aconviction before the tr b _lna' s of trelai,J, which tunteuced the ti.ecosed to 11 fi ne of 2,0U0/., turd an imprisonment of 12 calendar month?. Here was an instance of the efficacy of our common law in dealing with cases of great magnitude affecting the vital intaeAs of this Kingdom. Why, then, did the noble viscount represent an indictmentfor misdemeanour under the common !aw as totally inadequate to cope with a great exigency, and contend that we must therefore devise a new law to meet a state of things which bad not been discovered independently upon our own perception of auy actual emergency, but after our attention had been very peremptorily called to it by a foreign potentate. There was one more passage nearer to our own times to which he invited the serious c insideration of her Majesty's Go vernment, and particularly of the Home Secretary, because he was about to quote certain weighty words of the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Groy) which are exactly applicable to present circumstances, and which entirely cat from under the noble viscount the ground on which he based this measure. In 1851 the revolutionary excitement of 1848-9 had not subsided, and the most dangerous ele ments were then collected in this country. The attention of the Government was earnestly called to the menacing aspect of affairs by that veteran statesman and lawyer, Lord Lyndhurst, in the upper chamber, ilnd by his right hon. friend the then Recorder for Lundon (\lr. J. S. Wortley) in that house. I, was then disclosed that at that very moment a body was sitting in full conclave in London, calling itsel " The Commit tee of Central European Democracy," and which issued manifestoes for the subversion of the Governments of Central Europe, recommending insurrection against and the extermination of the existing Sovereigns. Thera was also a "Central National Italian Committee," whose professed object was to keep up a spirit of insurrection in Italy, and who opened loans here, publicly advertising them and issuing shares accompanied by cireulars, which stated their intention to be to purchase arms and ammu nition of war in order to promote their revoletionary designs. There was also a " Central Democratic, European Committee," which issued proclamations, and of which Mazzini and Lodru Rollin were members ; together with a "Central Hungarian Committee," of which General Blapka was the mainspring, and which, like-ill the other confederacies he bad named, put forth inflammatory proclamations. On that occasion Lord Lyndhurst expressed himself thus _ " It has always been the principle and the practice among us to afford a ready asylum to persons driven from their own country in consoqueace of their religious or political opinions or conduct. I do not wish in the slightest degree to trench upon this principle. It appears to me to be in perfect accordance with the character of an enlightened, a generous, and a powerful people. But it must always ba remembered that this protection imposes on those who take advantage of it a corresponding duty of a grave cha racter—to live among us peaceably, and not make this country the focus of intrigues against foreign States ; above al!, not to carry on any proceedings of a hostile character directed against countries with which we are connected by treaties of friendship and alliance.. These arc principles se just, so universally recognised, that it isunnecessary for me to dilate upon them." What said the right hon. baronet opposite (Sir G. Grey) than, as now, filling the important office of Secretary of State for the Home Department—and speaking in answer to the late Recorder of London I His words, which were very remarkable, were as follows : " I shall net be contradicted by any legal authority in this house when I say that foreigners entering into conspiracies in this country, living under the laws of this country, and en joying their security, and adopting any measure with the view of levying war against any foreign country with which this country is at amity are guilty of as offence at common law, and punishable on conviction by fine and imprisonment. We shall not hesitate legally and constitutionally to mo,t any violation of the law. I believe that the powers we possess are amply sufficient to punish by penalties the violation of the law by foreigners, after we have been satisfied that they have really committed themselves iu any case iu which it gal proceedings can be instituted." (Cheers.) If such was the deliberate opinion of the right hon. baronet in April, 1851, with what face could he stand before the country now and say that the law on which he relied then as upon a firm staff was now but a bruised reel, which could no longer yield him any sup port ! (Hear, bear.) No case, therefore, had been made out for the introduction of this bill. (Cheers.) The despatch communicated by Count Pareigny, the more it was looked at, appeared to him to be only the more unsatisfactory ; and when the noble viscount last eight informed the house that another communication had been made to our Government by the French Ambassador, to the effect that whatever bad been done in France was viewed with regret by the Emperor, it would have been more gratifying if he bad also placed that despatch on the table in answer to the challenge of the hon. and learned member for Sheffield. (Hear,hear.) Before that debate proceeded much further it was to be hoped that the noble viscount would favour the house with some account of the terms of that document. He for one, was curious to know its date. (Hear.) Certain cemtnunications might have passed along that rapid and misty medium of communication the electric telegraph, which might infinitely enhance or detract from the value of that second despatch. As an English man, he would like to know whether what had ap pearedln the Moniteur had been disavowed by the French Government from a sincere feeling of regret that offence should have been given, or whether it had been merely disavowed, after it had served its purpose, in consequence of some adroit commueicathns that hal been very recently made. No case had been made out for altering the law of England. Not a scintilla of legal evidence had been openly adduced before our competent tribunals to prove that there had been any conspiracy in tbia coun try. For-all we knew to the contrary, although one of the accused parties had been here and bad left England with a weapon of an infernal description, it might yet turn out on due inquiry bef ,re our judicial authorities that it was all a mistake, and that no such conspiracy as was alleged bad been carried on in this country. But how stood the case in France I Toe first paragraph in Count Walewski's despatch of Jan. 20 might well have made the uob'n viscount and hie legal advisers pause. It was to this effect The legal proecedii.g which has been commenced iu ro g rd to the criminal attempt recently made on the person of the Emperor is taking its course, and we shall shortly aseer• tain its definite result ; but there is a point upon which even now we cannot entertain any doubt. This fresh attempt, like those which preceded it, has been devised in England." That was not the way in which we proceed in England, We did not alter the law a priori simply because some body thought he could point out an evil of which nobody el-e had ever dreamt, and which had had no existence ir. practice. But the moment the evil came to light in a legitimate and judicial manner we did not hesitate to act. In this case no necessity had been shown for such a measure. Upon the mere supposition that a ca , e might occur in which the existing law would not be sufficient the noble lord rushed pell-tne'l into the arena with a proposition to increase the punish. ment for the common law offence of conspiracy. The bill which he had intr Aimed was, in point of fact, based upon two Irish acts. In the year 1796 there was passed an act, the 30th Geo. 111., chap. 27, which, after reciting that it had become necessary in order to deter men from entering into conspiracies to commit murder to increase the punishment for such crimes, coasted the "a I persons convicted of conspiring, confederat ing, or agreeing to murder any p.rson sl:a2l be a 4 jlzpd felons and suffer death." That act was fount to be ineffectual, aHd in 1798 the Irish Legislature passed another,—the 30th George 111., c. 57, which extended the punishment of death to any person proposing, soli- citing, persuading, or endeavouring to do any of the acts against which that penalty had been denounced in the former statute. The bill of the noble viscount contained five sections, the last of which repealed these two acts. The first section provided— , " That any person who shall, within the united kingdom of Gre Britain and Ireland, or the islands of Jersey, Guernsey, ' Alderney Sark, and Man, conspire with any other person or ersons being, either within or without the said united king dom and said Wands, to t ommit murder either within or without the dominions of her Majesty, shall bo guilty of felony, and upon being convicted shall be liable to be sen tenced to penal servitude for life, or for any term not less than five years, or to imprisonment, with or without hard labour, for any term not exceeding three years." The second clause extended the same penalties to the offences included in the second Irish act. Now let the house observe—we had just abandoned transportation as a punishment, and substituted for it penal servitude, vesting in the Secretary of State power to direct where the sentence should be carried into effect, either at home or abroad. The first fruit of this application made by the Government of the Emperor of the Preach would be to transform our old common law misdemeanour of conspiracy to murder into a felony punishable by trans portation for life. It was possible that we might after wards receive an intimation from the same quarter that if we had no place to which we could transport crimi nals, especially political ones, the Emperor had certain dominions in South America—Cayenne, for instance, —where he could accommodate them. He objected to vesting such powers for such reasons even in our own Government, and preferred to take his stand upon our old common law. By that law the punishment of a mis demeanour was fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the judge who tried the case ; but iu this bill there was an indication that while greatly extending the guilt and the punishment applicable to it, the Government were anxious to have two strings to their bow. Before concluding he must express his conviction that legisla tion, to be useful, effectual, and a precedent for future times, must be free. He entirely repudiated the inter vention of any foreign Power with regard to it. He bad always thought that England was talus tow argue ro• tundus; an island completely and entirely independent. Suppose the King of Naples bad sent us a vapouring application of this sort. He could imagine how the noble viscount, full of his ancient martial ardour, would have received such a comm unication in a towering pasmion, and would have replie d with " Pooh pooh we are not to be dictated to or coerced by anybody abroad." Why, then should we yield to such a demand when made by one who, in the language applied by Mr. O'Connell to Ireland, was "a gigantic supp li can t thundering at the g ates of the constitution." No I ]aeon t se with more calmness and dignity tell him that no peopab horred the crime of assassination than did we ; that if our institutions were at fault we should be the firat vo lentarily to amen d them ; but that as this matter was according to his own account, sub judice, it would, in our opinion, be premature to legislate upon it. There were pas3ages towards the ciao of Count Walewski' s despatch which were of a very grave cbarectcr, and h e seas greatly ielieved when the noble lord told them on the previous day that Count Waleweki had since, in the most unequivocal manner, disclaimed any intention to interfere with the asylum which we offered to distress from all parts of the world, The despatch did contain STATE OF THE RIVER. Earl ST. GERMANS said a report by Mr. Gol,ll - Gurnsy had been presented to the other house on the state of the river Thames, and al the document was one of great imnortahoe, he moved that it be laid on their lordebips' table.—Agreed JIISTICES RELIEF BILL. On the motion of Lord ST. LEONARDS, this bill W read a wood time. LAW OF PROPERTY. Lord ST. LEONARDS laid on We table a bill for amending the law of property, and said he should ex. plain 1134 iuure on the second reading. COMMUNICATION WITICIRELAND. Viicount DUNGANNON asked the Postmaster General if auy obstacle had arisen with regard to carrying into ffect the establishment of larger steam Vetidet“ between Holyhead and Kingstown since the last session of Parliament ? The Duke ot ARGYLL said he was not aware that any difficulty had arisen, but there wae, from the nature ot the contracts, some delay in completing them. He hoped that in the course of a few days all the necessary arrangements would be completed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter to 4 o'cLck. NEW IYIENIBER, Mr. JOHN BRIGHT took the oaths and his seat for Birmingham, in the roots of the Intl Mr. Mun z. Ho was introduced by Mr. Ricardo and Mr. J. B. Smith. He was received with loud cheers on entering the house. After he had taken the oaths and subscribed the rollo, he was congratulated by many of his old friends, who heartily shook hands with him. Ile took his seat in his usual place below the gangway on the Ministerial side. The hue. gentleman looked extremely well in the face, but he is not so stout as when he last had a seat in Parlia ment. PRIVATE BILLS. Several private bills were brought in and read a first time. COMMITTEE OF SELECTION. Col. W. PATTEN nominated the following committee of selection—Sir R. Ferguson, Mr. R. Palmer, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. B. Carter, Mr. Deeded, and the chairman of the select committee on standing orders. EXETER HALL SERVICES. Mr. E. BA LL preaLnted a petition, complaining of the present auto of the law which permitted one indi vidual to prevent the continuance of religious services in acaerdance with the principles of the Church of Englat d In an unlicensed place, though sanctioned by the Arch bishop of Canterbury. THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT. Mr. T. BARING presented a petition from the Batt India Company against any change in the constitution of the Indian Government during the continuance of the present unhappy disturbances, and without a full previous inquiry into the operation of the present sys tem. The honourable gentleman said he was precluded by the roles of the house from entering on the question in presenting the petition. Ho had hoped the rules of the house might have been relaxed to enable him to do so, and give permission to have it read at the table of the bones that it might have been printed and circulated wi•h the votes of the house, hut as the latter had not been conceded to him, he proceeded to state ice purport. The document has so recently been published in connection with the late meeting at the East India House, en the subject, that its purport need not be again stated. CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA. Colonel SYKES presented a petition from the Pres bytery of Abtrdsen, praying for the removal of all obstacles to the spread of Christianity in India. TENANT RIGHT (IRELAND). Mr. GREER gave notice that he should, on an early day, wove for a cominitiee relative to tenant right in Ireland. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Mr. CAIRD gavo notice that ho should on an early day move for leave to introduce a bill relative to agri cultural statistics. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. Lord BURY gave notice teat he should shortly move for leave to introduce a bill to legalise marriage with a deceased wife's sister. DOCKYARD LABOURERS. Mr. TO I NNSEND gave notice that., on the considera tion of the Navy eAnnates, be rhou d move that an additional sum be granted to her Majesty, in order that the wagea of our 111-paid labourers may be increased from 184. to 16s, per week. THE GOVERNIIIENT OF INDIA. Mr. T. BARING gave notice that, in the event of no other member doing so, he should move as an amend ment to the noble bird at the head of her Majesty's Government's motion to bring in a bill fur the better Government of India, a resolution of the house declaratory of the inexpediencylof at present legis latin g with reference to any change in the Government of India. (Loud cries of bear, hear.) RETURNS. A number of unopposed returns were or3ered to be laid on the table of the house. MORTALITY AMONGST THE GUARDS. Mr. LAURIE gave notice that on Thursday he should ask the Under Secr,tary fur War what steps bad been taken to remedy the great mortality in the army, especially amongst the Foot Guards. - - THE ORDER OF THE MEDEDI. Mr. LAURIE asked the Under Secretary for War, when the often promised order of the Medjidi was likely to be distributed to the troops engaged in the Crimea ? Sir J. RA MSDEN said that the Turkish medals had not yet been received, but the names of those to be decorated would shortly be published. ARMY WARRANT. General CODRINGTON asked the Uoder Secretary r War, whether the warrant of December last, eprivi staff officers of their soldier servants and xi applicable to a state of war, or whether the warrant was to be suspended on troops taking the field. Sir J. RANISDEN sail a state of war most produce exceptionable cases. It was impossible for him to give a definite a swiT to the question. BARON DE ROTHSCHILD. On the Srsarcan caling Mr. T. Duncombe to proceed with his motion relative to Baron de Rothschild being permitted to take the oaths most binding on his con science. Lord PALMERSTON appealed to the hon. gentle man to postpone his motion tillafter thea4journed debate on the Conspiracy to Murder all. Mr. DUNCO MBE said that, under the circumstances, he thought he should beet serve the cause he wished to benefit by acceding to the request, and he accordingly postponed his motion till a future day. Mr. NEWDE(IATE objected to the course adopted by the hon. member for Finsbury. It was iinonvenient to hoc, members, many of wh , :iet had come from a dis tance to attend the debate. (Order, order.) Th e hon. member thou moved the adjournment of the house to be in order, and entered at some length into;the question of Jewish liabilities, observing that the motion of the hon. member for Finsbury if carried, would be a violation of the law. On the SPEAKER puti:ing the motion for adjournment, Lord PALM EasToN . said that as the hon. member had moved the af'j ,urernent of the house to make a speech, and had done sq, he hoped he would withdraw his motion for adjournment. Mr. DUNCOMBE dented that his motion would be a violation of the law, and assured the hon. member for North Warwickshire he would give him au opportunity of delivering the speech he appeared to have prepared on the subject during the present ses , non. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR Of the Ex- CIJEQUIZR the other resolutions on the paper were p )stpined till after the orders of the dad. CON3PIRACY TO MUItILELt BILL. The adjourned rtJbAte on the 'notion for the intro duction of the Cet,spiracy to Murder Bill war, re sumed. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE interposed to correct a mis apprehension that prevailed that the Emperor of the French had killed a man at Boulogne well hii own [PR= 4D. STAMPED 50.] menacing expressions, and he should have liked to have seen them withdrawn as for formally as they were used. He could not but honour those who were exquisitely sensitive upon this subject, because the asylum which we offered to the victims of misery and persecution had always been a sore point with despotic countries, and he was anxious that we should not in the slightest degree diminish the freedom of the reception which we offered to such persons. He was no enemy to the Government of the noble viscount, but be implored him to consider the position in which he was placing himself. He did not know what course would be adopted by hon. and right hon. gentlemen either on that or the other side of the house, but he hoped the result of the debate would show that they stilt retained those independent feelings and that love of England which bad led theirconstituents to place them in that distinguished assembly. He also honed that the noble lord would take wise counsel with himself, and would not obstinately adhere to the precipi tate determination which had led him to propose this prematurs lisegslation—a legislation which, if assented to, would be but a dead letter, and would afford no prece dent for future times. He would not repeat tho painful, the disgusting expressions which had appeared in the Monifeur, but ho could not abstain from reminding the house of the words of Edward 111., who once said to his Parliament, "I have received a blow in the face, and all Europe is looking on to see how I bear it," and then declared war. He did not say that any such case had arisen here—God forbid ; but the appearance of such documents in the Moniteur was enough to arouse the self-love and alarm the patriotism of every person in the country, especially - when ho found them acted upon so suddenly by the Government of her Majesty. He most earnestly supplicated the noble viscount opposite not to let any false pride prevent him yielding to the manly sense of duty which actuated him upon all occasions. Let him not unnecessarily peril the popularity which he had,hitherto enjoyed; but let him, by showing an en lightened deference to the preblicly expressed desire of the country through its free press and its free represen tatives, retain that place in the estimation of the people which be was in danger of losing by his present most unwise attempt at legislation. (Cheers.) Sir G. GREY.—I hope in the few observations which I shad deem it my duty to address to the house upon the question now submitted for its consideration I shall not depart !rem that calm and temperate tone which I am happy to say has characterised the discussion of this bill hitherto, and which cannot fail to give weight and authority to whatever decision the hcuse may be pleased to come to. (than) Before I advert to some of the objections which have been made to the motion of Ley noble friend at the head of the Government, I may bo allowed to express the satisfaction which I feel that, while there has been in Parliament and throughout the country the utmost abhorrence of the crime which has lately been attempted against the life of the Emperor of the French, there has been at the same time a sentiment expressed in entire unison with that which is sincerely , professed to be entertained and acted upon by her Ma jesty's Government, not to infringe in the slightest degree that sacred right of asylum which it is the proud boast of this country to offer to every political refugee, of whatever shade of political opinion, fleeing from per secution in the laud of his Wirth and residence. (Cheers.) The hor. and learned gentleman has alluded to some expressions in the despatch of Count Walewski which he understands as implying a desire to interfere with right of asylum, and to compel Parliament to pass a law for sending refugees out of this country without public trial, without conviction of any offence, on mere sus picion, or on grounds of what may b r termed moral conviction. If those expressions bore the meaning Attributed to them by the hon. and learned gentleman, I can only say that her Majesty's Government has not for one rnome: t entertained any such proposition, or given the slightest hope in any quarter that such a demand would be complied with. (Cheers.) I may also be allowed to expressed, if I may do so without irregularity, the sincere satisfaction with which I have perceived that the distinguished leader in another place of the party whom I see opposite has expressed in his own eloquent language, which few can rival, senti ments in entire accordance with the opinions pro fessed by her Majesty's Government. (Hear.) The objections which have been urged to the proposition before the house, as has been well stated by the hon. and [earned member - for Sheffield, revolve themse!ves intotwo classes, the one directed against the enactments of the bill itself, and the other and main class against the time when this proposition is made. With respect to the bill itself, let me recall the attention of the house to the circumetaaces under which her Majesty's Government have felt it their duty to introduce it. A crime has been attempted in France which, although the judicial process may not be yet complete, is a matternf general notoriety, and which no one can doubt has been Attempted to he oommitted, whatever doubts may be entertained—and doubt must be entertained till after trial atel'etsfiviction —with respect to the individuals implicated in it. I regret to say it is equally certain that that crime, though perpetrated on the soil of France, whore its intended victim was sure to be found, has been the result of de signs formed in this country, of meaenres taken in this ceuntry, of plansconoocted here by those who areenjoying that right of asylum which we are happy and proud to aff,rd them so long as they conform to our laws and conduct themselves in obedience to the rules which govern all persons residing in her Majesty's dominiees. Under these circumstances our attention was naturally and necessarily called, irrespective of any communication from the French Government, to the state of the law which was applicable to conspiracies of this nature. The hon. and learned gentleman who spike last has referred to a question which was addressed to me in 1851 by my right hot, friend the member f .r Bute, with respect to certain allegations then made regarding the designs and conspiracies of foreign refugees residing in this country, and to the answer which I gave to that question. That case was wholly different and distinct from the present. It related to revolutionary (foetus concocted here with a view to subvert the existing Governtinnts in Lreign countries, end to establish forms of government more in accordance with the epinions of those who proposed to carry the plots int , execution ; and the answer which ',gave had no reference whatever to at tempts at the assassination of individuals. (Cheers.) I then stated what I now repeat, that I believe our laws are amply sufficient to prevent foreigners residing in this country from taking means in this country from levying war on other nations, inasmuch ae, in addition to the common law, there are statutes existing by which spe cific penalties against these who shall adopt measures here for levying war against any Power in amity with our Sovereign. Bat what is the case now ? There is an attempt, not to subvert a Government, but to destroy the life of an irlivideal—an atttinpt which, although providentially not successful—against the person chiefly aimed at, yet unhappily was successful against many innocent people whose lives were sacrificed by those who seem to be utterly regardless of human suffering pro vided tbny gratify their vindictive feelings against any one whom they may course to regard al their enemy. (Hear, hear.) Will any hon. gentleman deny that this is a crime of the greatest svrooity ? (Loud cheers.) The house ought to recollect, moreover, that we are not seeking to deal with the men who actually perpetrate such crimes, but with the men who in comparative safety plot them iu this country —with men who do not risk their own lives in attempting to carry their designs into execution, but who instigate and hire assassins to do that which they are too cowardly to undertake themselves—(cheers) —that is the class of persons against whom we think that additional precau tion ought to be taken, in order to deter them from committing crimes which I believe every living English man abhors and condemns from the bottom of his heart. (Cheers.) On looking into the law upon this subject, what did we find ? Here let me make ono observation with reference to remarks that have been made in the course of this debate as it this question had been settled by a declaration—entitled, I admit, to the utmost respect—uttered elsewhere by the Lord Chief Jus tice, to the effect, as has been assumed, that the low in its present state is amply sufficient to meet all cases of this kind. (Hear, hear.) Let me first protest against the doctrine—entirely new in this house —that sey lawyer, however eminent, any judge, how ever high his position or great his learning, is to be taken as an unimpeachable authority as to the sufficiency of any law to meet the objects which it is intended to serve. The judges are the proper persons to d e termine judicially, after argument, what i s the law of the litod, how it can be unforced, and what t he p enalt y is which is a ttachable to any crime ; but I demur altogether to uncons titutionel doctrine that they are to dictate toan Par liament an opinion with regard to the sufficiencypnorf oe pose y law for the accomplishmen t of aceerateani o n e which (Cheers.) Such, lam sur e, was not the but such is the weaning f the Lord Chief Justice made his observations as boe n a attached to l bound to protest them in this house, and thereforehe e u e d es to determine against it. It is competent to t . whet . s h d e e r e c n o n n o s conspiracy n to o omurdernowill ndtehnjiys thatcountry a i s s p o i r r a i e s yn to am murder a person in this country is a misdemeanour punishable ac cording to common law. The judges are also competent to decide the question whether a conspiracy by subjects of her Majesty in this country to commit in a foreign country what according to the law of England would be murder, is a misdemeanour, and upon that point likewise no doubt can be entertained by a ny one acquainted with our criminal code. Advancing a step further, the judges are competent to determine whether a conspiracy by aliens in this country to murder another alien in a foreign country is a misdemeanour cognisable by our eourte, an indictable offence at common law, subjecting the parties concerned to the same penal ticsi‘la e a s s ty i f t o i t murderbad been an o a t her o f conspiracyher Majesty'ssubjects of subjectsher either in this o r i n a f ore i gn country. U pon that question I um erstand, from the ordinary sources of information, a decided opinion has been expressed elsewhere by the distinguished judge to whom I have already referred, and to that opinion of course I bow with the most respectful deference, although I believe I am right in saying that no decision of the courts has ever gone that length, and that there are many learned and eminent lawyers who, before tne opinion in question was pronounced, enter tained great doubts whether a conspiracy by aliens in this country to murder another alien in a foreign coun try, which is: the case that has actually occurred, was an cffence punishable by our laws. If, therefore, the judgesi ipqstermeduatffinvaatesufficient elParliamentlbtehit eneoa h estt v a nthaeh r tet o i soi_ btrri attaching cdpunishmenten pronouncedhneto functionsideter unedegari scpcte dis c ha r g e d, persons authoringasrb;ongyonyaefnsdload,wfFat what offence to n t eed h ern, th e eo laps the functions ie , they of f a have Parlia mentper whatever rnainini o e :w Pin p ul h al i e ni l n e s :r 'ul a t i d a h h e ye e . et h owevert; t f h ro e m °ff it ia r c o om n m ee i n es v i ict on i . on l an d d o not, of course, mean that any punishment can absolutely deter persons from the commission of crime ; but still our laws always aim at fixing for an offence a ceea'n amount of punishment, which may afford a reaeonable probability that it will deter persons from its commission. The horse and learned gentleman who moved the amendment admitted that our laws might be sueceptible of im provement, and that it might be right to inquire with the view of making it sufficient to deter from the coal. mission of the crime from which persons are not now deterred owing to the lightness and inadequacy of p un i s h. msnt on conviction. We then find, assuming for a moment that there is no uncertainty as to the nature of the crime, that it is a misdemeanour for a foreigner in this country to conspire, or to incite persona to per perpetrate, the murder of a person in another country. The law only made that a misdemeanour, and the utmost punishment to which a person on conviction was liable for so atrocious a crime (he himself remaining in the country while the crime was being executed, and not subjecting himeelf to any of the risk attending the attempt) is that attaching to the offence of a ramie. meanour. The boa, and learned gentlema,n who lad spoke assumed that the punishment attachinz to a misde meanour is of an indefinite amount. Now, for such an offence the court might impose imprisonment, the erdicary madiimum of which is the period of two years. But the boa. and learned member for Midhurat observed that the Court might impose a fine of 2,000/. (Mr. Warren—" In that particular case it did.") No doubt the court might also impose a fine, which would amount to perpetual imprisonment, but my hon. and learned friend must linow that whatever might be the discretion left to the court, it would never be exercised to that extent. It is not a course which our courts usually adopt to impose, in addition to imprisonment, a fine utterly beyond the ability of the prisoner to pay, and thereby to convert the sentence of detention into perpetual imprisonment ' • hut I am sure the honourable and leereed memb er did not mean to suggest that they would act in so disgraceful a manner in order to render in certain cases the punishment attached to misdemeanour sufficient. By the state of the law in England the crime to which the proposed bill re. ferred was only a misdemeanour, and I believe that the reason for such a state of the law is this, that con spiracy to commit a murder—some persons inciting others to the commission of the crime,`butero far keepieg themselves safe as to withdraw themselves from the et tremse. penalty of the crime—is so abhorrent to tbefeel ings of Englishmen that I do not think any law bas been required to be put in force with respect to it in this country. (Hear.) But in Ireland from the peculiarly unhappy state of society there, and from the frequency of aerar:an outrager,this crime was unhappily of no rare occurrence. And what did the Parliament do I The hon. gentleman has alluded to the two Irish acts on the subject, but the law as already existing is not an Irish Act, but a modern act, passed by the united Parliaments of Great Britain and Ireland. The act alleges the fact that such crimes were not unfrequent, and that it was necessary not to lease them to be punished by the com paratively light penalty attaching to misdemeanour; and for the security of society in that part of the united kingdom (Ireland) the law (10th George IV.) renders the crime a capital felony. We found that iu England the offence was only a misdemeanour, and we have thought it right, while mitigating the severity of the Irish law, to increase the severity of the law in England, and to make the offence punishable, not by death, but by penal servitude, the duration of which should be left to the discretion of the court according to the facts and circumstances of the case. I cannot think that the mere proposal of a comparatively unimportant bi 1 of this kind should be objectionehle to the house, and the hon. and learned gentleman seemed impressed with a conviction of the inadequacy of the punishment by the pros :ant la s, when be was obliged to suppose the instance of some exceedingly heavy fine. Such being the case, I now come to a more important part of the question, —namely, as to the time when the proposal is made, and here I must say that when the attention of the Government has been called to a defect in the law of this country, and they are satisfied that an im provement clii ho inaie in the law, the proper time to propose the changes to Parliament is certainly when that conviction has been forced upon their minds. (Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned gentle man referred to the expression " nolumus leges Anglia mutz.i, and said we were going to change our law without soy reference to the usefulness of the change, but because Count Walewski bad called attention to the notorious fact that this crime was plotted and contrived by persons in this country. With respect to Count Walewski, I would ask hon. members to place them selves in his position. If attemnts at assassination had been concocted in Fiance, and if an endeavour had been made to put them into execution in this country, and if we had reason to believe that the law of France was not euflicient to deter by its penalties from the commission of such crime., I think the Government of this country would have been justly blameable if they had not called the attention of the Government of France to what they believed to he a defect in the French law, not in the language of menace (and there is no menace in Count Walewski'a despatch), but in terms fairly pointing out the defect . , and eubmitting it to the consideration of the French Government. So the French Government hod a Light to ask us whether, in strict accordance with our laws, legal and coustitueional cheeks might not be im posed on the commission of such crimes, and in Conut Walcwski's despatch, as we read it, there is nothing to deter us from doing what we were convinced ourselves ought to be done—namely, to propose this bill to Par liament, which would effect a 'useful amendment in the law. We have been told that Lord Hawkesbury lteld different language in 1802. New, I ask bon. gentlemen to contrast the despatch of the French Minister of that day with the despatch of Count Walswski. The former despatch was, as Lord Hawkesbury observed, not couched in very conciliatory language, but in terms of ci the most offensive nature, and containedemands, coupled 1 with merace to this country, calling on the Government to expel from the country certain persons described by name and classes, and to restrict the freedom of the press, in order that the Government might prevent the insertion of articles offensive to France. What was \ Lord Hawkesbury's dignified and proper reply I He Bahl : " The French Government must have formed an erroneous judgment of the disposition of the British nation and of the character of its Government, i they have been taught to expect that any representation of a foreign power will ever induce them to consent to a violation of those rights on which the liberties of the people of this country are found." ' One of those rights was the freedom of the press, and it was to the laws affeeting the press that ler passage referred. The Government of that day refused —as they were bound to refuse—to propose to Parliament at the dictation of a foreign government measures which would fetter and restrict the lib( rt . y of the press. But what did Le, d }Tewkesbury do ?. Did he refuse demands of another kind which were made upon the English Govern ment ? Far from it. At that time an Alien Act was in existence, arid the Government ceuld n rt say that the law did not Authorize them to deal with tureign refugees in a different manner from that in which they were enabled to deal with subjects of the realm. S ) long as an alien obeys the laws be is now free to abide in this country ; but at that time an Alen Act was in existence, and though the powers which it conferred upon the Geveroment were intended to enable them to maintain the internal tranquillity f country, yet, feeling the pressure of the demands made upon them by France, they did send out of the kingdom certain refugees whose expulsion had been demanded by the French Aliuister ; an d they further intimated that if other refugees com mitted acts which, although complained of by the French Gervernmeet, were not punishable by law, they also would be sent oat of the country. We have no power, thank God ! to make such concessions to any foreign government, and we do not ask for any such power. Indeed, we should be ashamed of submitting such a pro position to Parliament, for we know that it would be at once repudiated. But Lord Hawkesbury, in refusing to propose to Parliament, at the dictation of the French Government, any bill 'or altering the law.with respect to the press, declared the willingness of the British Govern• went to afford to every foreign governmental! the protec tion against such offences as were complained.of—those offences being libels, and not assassinations—which the principle of the laws and constitution of this country would admit. Now, I ask whether there is anything in the course we are pursuing which contrasts unfavourably with the course adopted by Lord 'Tewkesbury in 1802? Is our proposition contrary to the principles of the law and con stitutioe to propose that Parliament —that the crime of in c i t i ng and should h e e n acctoutrhta ofa n cons pi ra cy to murder in stigating persons to commit murder — shall be punishable, n ce years'ta pi l duration but b at h y penal t ediscretion servitude o r im prisonmen t t cthoortefidently assert that there is nothing in that proposition which is in the slightest degree abhorrent to the princip les of our law and constitution. I have shown that the prin- ciple onbodied in the Irish Act is entirely consc with and s w uc e h d o n n p o r t oc h e e e s d it in at n g e—l n t t r we tbheeliepvroincaipuleeceosfsitoyuremlaiswiss, for Parliament to render a similar law applicable to the United alik Kingdom. We don't as k y ou to make the butt o ff ence impose punishment w hi c h we hopewillel c e a re p i i se tal i deterring effect, and will prevent base and bloody-min ded men from engaging in such consp i rac i es as I have referred to. Allusion has been made to the despatch of Count Walewaki with reference to the insertion in the Moniteur of certain addresses presented to the Emperorof the French. Now, I am not here to defend the publication of those addresses. They were, I admit, insulting to this nation; they ' have been deeply felt by the people of this country. (Cheers) But even if no apology had been made—if no regret had been expressed—for their publication, I should hesitate to agree with those who argue that, although wo are convinced an amendment of the law is required, yet on account of the insertion of these addresses in the Monitcur we should abstain from taking that wise, judicious, and temperate course which, independently of the publication of such addresses, we should have been disposed to adopt. I think the course of a great nation should be—instead of showing itself tco sensitive to such expressions as I have allpded to, even where they are supposed to have received the sanction of the ruler of a country, whether powerful or weak—to hold its own even way of legislation, and that if we are convimoed that an amendment of the law is necessary, which will enable us to give a complete and satisfactory answer—or what ought to be a complete and satisfactory answer—to the complaints of foreign States, which will show then that we do not harbour assassins, but that we receirturg our shores refugees of all political opinions, only rend Rios them liable, equally with our own subjects , intended to deter them from the oommiseiTerg ee l ,o I tries, not showing an amendment of the law should be thing that may happen in foreign v be termed such insults may bat altered ourselves too sensitive to what mos is somewhat think, the course we ought to p.ursnooe,uni as I have mentioned.
