LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 17. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman and a Jury.) BARRY ♦. SHIPLEY.-LIBEL. This was an action for libel, brought by the plain tiff, the originator of the Metropolitan and County Club, Victoria-street, Westminster, against the de fendant, the registered proprietor of the Sporting Life newspaper. Mr. Edwin James, Q C., and Mr. Welsby, were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. H. James were counsel for the defendant. The evidence for the plaintiff appeared in The Sun of yesterday. Mr. Sergeant Parry addressed the jury for the defendant, and called Mr. Henry Feist, editor of the Sporting Life — The advertisement of the formation of the club was spoken of at Tattersall's, and I was requested by several gentlemen to denounce the whole scheme as a swiLdle. I never heard of him or knew him before the appearance of the advertisement, and I had made inquiries about him. I received a mass of correspondence relative to him. The Victoria Club in the City is a most respectable club. Cross-examined----I inquired about Barry of racing men, and the members of Tattersall's. I made in quiries of Mr. Whitmore and Sergeant Langley, who know him well. The latter is engaged by the Jockey Club in discovering frauds. Re-examined—One of the communications sent to the paper was signed by Capt. Potts. Mr. John Whitmore deposed—l live in Norris street, Haymarket. I have known Barry about two years. My attenti on was ca ll e d t o him by seeing his advertisement in Bell's Life. He was then indebted to me for some bills I had got discounted for him—he had then owed me the money for twelve months. I had not been able to find him during that time. When I called upon him, in Victoria-street, I asked him to pay me. He asked me to call again. He confessed he owed the money, but he was then short of money. He said he was getting up a club, and as soon as he got the funds which he anticipated by it, and pointed to the advertisement, he would pay me. If he succeeded in getting a secretary with some money he would pay me immediately. I believe the words he said were, "As soon as I get a secretary." He also said that Lieut. Blackett, of a cavalry regiment, was a very good wire, and that he was out introducing the club in all directions. 7 HIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT-GARDEN. Tha supply of fruit continues limited, of vegetables sea sonably good, and She demand, sn the whole, rules steady, as follows : The learned Judge—What is a " wire ?" Witness—He explained it to me as a man catch ing flats and men with money. (Laughter.) Cross-examined--I live in the Haymarket. I negotiate money transactions by means of bills principally. I consider the plaintiff owes me £l7O. I issued a writ against him for the amount. The writ was issued for £6OO. When I saw him about the money I offered to give up all claims if he would give £25. I found the plaintiff had no money and I stayed proceedings. I have attended races and betted. I was a defaulter on the turf through an other person not paying me. I lost £1,200, and ex pected to receive £BOO. Re-examined—.E6oo was the nominal value of the bills. The bills were accepted in the name of Brown and Co., while he was a partner in that concern. Evidence was given to prove that persons were stopped from attempting to take the goods out of the house, by a cry that there was powder in the house, and also that there were rumours that the fire looked very suspicious and very black against the plaintiff. The Saturday before the fire tha plaintiff sent two or three boxes to the railway station, to be kept till called for, and on the Sun day evening two other boxes were sent there. A gentleman connected with Brown's Patent Parchment Company deposed that the plaintiff used to accept bills in his own name as managing director. FRUIT. After some other evidence of a similar character, The learned Judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. LA IV INTELLIG_EIVC.E.—( This Day.) COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE.-IN RE WILDBORE. His Honour this morning gave judgment on the ques tion of certificate in the case of this bankrupt, a surgeon and apothecary, in Old-street. The case has been fre quently before the court, and his Honour refused to allow the bankrupt to pass his examination on the ground of fraud. The bankrupt appealed to the Lords Justices, who made an order permitting him to do so, leaving the whole question open for the decision of the learned commissioner on the question of certificate. The main charge against the bankrupt was that he had lent his name to a person named Sumners, an uneertificated bankrupt. Bankrupt's name was used, and goods were obtained fraudulently. His Honour had come to the conclusion that the bankrupt had committed a gross fraud, and therefore wholly refused the certificate. Mr. C. Lewis applied for protection, in order that the bankrupt might have an opportunity of appealing. Mr. LinklAter, for the assignees, objected, unless the solicitor to the bankrupt undertook that the bankrupt should appear and prosecute the appeal; the Lords Justices had so held in a case where two bankrupts absconded. Mr. Lewis said that he could not give any personal undertaking; the pressure would be on the wrong point. Mr. Linklater said he had, in a previous case, been asked to give one, but he declined. Mr. Lewis hoped the Commissioner would stay the cer tificate authorising the bankrupt's arrest. His Honour .aid, after all he had heard, he should do no more than refuse the certificate. SHERIFFS' COURT. •0009 NY RAILWAT-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT-GA.INRS U. ITOLFORD. This was a claim for the damage of certain oil casks. Plaintiff's charges, including those of the railway com pany, were Bs. 7d., and defendant had paid into coart L 2 Oa. 7d., pleading never indebted as to the rest. It appeared that defendant, who is a cooper, had pur chased at a government sale a quantity of casks at Chatham, and plaintiff, who is a carrier, had the job to convey them to London by railway and his own vehicles. Now plain tiff had declared the weight of these casks to be 25 owt., and the railway company had charged accordingly. Upon arrival in London, however, it was ascertained that the goods weighed about 31 cwt., and defendant was charged accordingly. His Hollotr askod plaintiff if tho railway company had boon paid ? Plaintiff—Yes ; the account in which these goods are included is closed. It is not likely it will be opened again, but the company could come upon me. Mr. H. F. Wood, for the defendant, urged that defendant was not bound to pay more than was charged by the rail way company. Plaintiff suffered no loss, and it would be hard, indeed, if one carrier could pay for one weight at the railway and charge the consignee another. A clerk from the goods department of the railway com pany attended with the returns. The oil casks mentioned were declared at 25 cwt. The account had been closed, and witness did not think it would be opened again. The com pany did not always weigh goods. As a rule, they did, but ?arious goods were passed at the declared weight. Defendant was called and said he had a knowledge of casks, and did not think those, the subject of the dispute to-day, weighed so much as plaintiff had stated. Plaintiff assured his Honour that he was liable to be charged by the company. s. d. s. d. I.

If such a course as the present was followed, a wide field of fraud upon railway companies would be opened. It was not to be supposed that a party could declare the weight of goods at the railway, and pay for such declared weight, and then charge the consignee a larger weight. Upon plaintiff's own evident)e defendant must have a verdict with costs. d. s. d oto 0 0 oto 1 0 oto 0 0 oto 0 0 oto 0 0 oto 0 0 oto 0 0 oto 0 0 oto 0 0 to 0 0 oto 0 • 0 to 0 Shallots, per lb .. 0 Bto 0 Horseradish, pbn 1 •to 2 Parsley, per ditto 0 4to 0 Celery, per ditto 0 Bto 1 Beet, per doz. .. 1 6to 2 Parsnips, per de. 0 oto 0 Small salad, p. pn, 0 2to • Mushrooms,p pun 1 oto 1 Artichokes, pr dz 2 oto 3 Cabbage lett,soore 0 oto 0 Endive, per score 0 oto 0 Radishes, dz hnds 0 oto 0 Tomatoes, hi' eve 0 •to 0 Walnuts, per 100 0 oto 0 Chillies, per ditto 0 oto 0 Capsicums, per do 0 •to 0 Rhubarb, per bun 0 Bto 1 Asparagus, pr do. 5 •to 0 Seakale, per pun. 1 0 to 1 NEWOATE AND LEADENHALL. POLICE INTELL.TGENOE-(THIS DA 17. ) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT BY ITALIAN ORGAN' GRINDERS —Two Italian organ-grinders, living in the neighbourhood of Saffron hill, named Giovanni Cassali and Luigi Maui, were charged with violently assaulting two hackney carriage attendants with the poles on which they rest their organs. From the evidence of Charles Chamberlain, hackney carriage attendant, No. 80, it appeared he was passing along Oxford -street at a ♦ery early hour that morning, in company with Ford, another attendant, No. 60, when h• observed the prisoners quarrelling with another man, and striking their poles with great violence on the ground, and in order to avoid them got into the road and passed en, and no sooner had he done so than Giovanni turned and aimed a violent blow at his head with his pole, which he avoided by stepping back into the road again. Giovanni aimed a second blow at him, and this time he warded it off by receiving it on his arm, causing him severe pain. The other prisoner, Luigi, then struck Ford with his pole. A woman also complained of being struck by the prisoners. The prisoners said they were struck first, but this was denied, and it was also stated that they were intoxicated. Mr. Bingham said, if they had been Englishmen, he should have tined them 205., or ten days, but as they were foreigners, and did not know the strength of our liquors, he should fine them 10s., or seven days each.

BUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. THE YOL UNTEER MOVEMEN2'. MEETING THIS DAY. This afternoon a public meeting was held at the Thatched•house Tavern, St. James's-street, with a view to establish preliminary drill at public schools, in connection with the volunteer move ment. Lord Elcho, M.P., presided ; and there were present, Mr. Byng, M.P.. Lord West, Sir De L. Evans, M.P., Dr. Hawtrey, Provost of Eton ; Mr. Win. E wart, M.P., Mr. Stirling, M.P., Mr. W. F. Campbell, M.P., General Watkins, the Rev. G. R. Gleig, Chaplain to the Forces ; Major General Watkins, and other gentlemen. The Noble CHAIRMAN, iu opening the proceed ings, said he was surprised, on looking at the papers this morning, to find that an eccentric baronet, the inheritor of a great name, had made a speech which had excited great attention. He (Lord Eloho) remained in the House of Commons until past eleven o'clock last night listening to the admirable speech of Mr. Sidney Herbert, the Secretary for War, and belity;ng that there would be no discussion he went home. He had no idea that when the serious business of the evening had passed it would have been followed by a screaming farce, in which the Parliamentary Robson was the prominent performer.' (Laughter.) He thought the hon. baronet would have better shown his loyalty and patriotism by keeping silence than by casting reflections on a movement which had sprung from the public spirit of the country, and which had been graciously approved of by her Majesty. The noble lord proceeded to show that military drill would tend to the physical development of boys, their moral improvement at schools, and their general advantage in after life. Letters, approving of the movement, were read from Lord Palmerston, the Bishop of London, Lord Brougham, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Shaftesbury, and the Dean of Christchurch, Oxford (late Head Master of Westminster School), Sir Howard Douglas, Mr. Shepherd, of Cheltenham College, and other gentlemen. Lord WEST, in moving the first resolution, thought that a general system might be adopted for schools--such as Eton, Winchester, and Rugby, as well as for the parochial and rural schools of the country. His lordship moved the following reso lution : " That, with a view to the permanence of the volunteer force, it is desirable that elementary drill should be esta blished at public and other scho'ols." The Hon. G. BYNG, M.P., who passed a high eulogiuni upon the volunteer system, seconded the resolution. lie hoped the movement would be per manent and successful, and that it would tend to remedy any defects which might exist in the pre sent system of military education. Mr. GEORGE CRITIKSHANK supported the resolu tion, and told some humorous tales in illustration of the advantage of military training. lie urged that this should be a strictly national movement, and should not be dependent upon occasional alarms. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. CONINGIIAM, M.P., hoped it would not go forth to the public that there was any desire on the part of the meeting to change our public schools into military academies. The Rev. Dr. HAWTREY, Provost of ' Eton, moved— " That where elementary military drill has been esta•• Wished, it has been found to conduce to the discipline and orderof schools, and to the mental advancement of scholars, as well as to their physical development and improvement." The Rev. Provost spoke of the beneficial effects which the system of drill had had in his college. He had been lately at Oxford, where he had ascer tained that the men who were the most distin guished for their classical and other attainments had proved the best men in connection with this movement. It had, moreover, tended to check those frivolous expenses which many young men incurred at Oxford ; indeed, many of the Oxford tradesmen, who encouraged these expenses, had expressed their regret that the movement had ever been originated. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. TUFFNELL, one of her Majesty's Inspeeterii of Schools, seconded the resolutisn. In the course of his duties he had been called upon to visit vari ous schools, Not ; in such a distinguished position as Eton, and he invariably found that where drill was carried out the boys werebetter able to undergo great exertion. In a great number of the Board of Guardian schools a drill sergeant was paid by the Government, and where one of these schools had allowed drill to fad into disuse, the effect 'was so marked for the worse that they were glad to re commence the system. (Hear, hear.) Mr. G. VERNON, in alluding to the uniform pro posed to be used at Eton, said he hoped the boatingor cricketing dress would answer all purposes. (Hear.) He hoped the public schools would not insist on a uniform. It was all very well for a rifle corps, but it was not at all required in a school. If much attention was paid to uni form, it would have the appearance of making our schools military establishments, which they never would or ought to be. (Hear, hear.) Dr. WiLsoN thought the institution of drill in our public schools would tend above all things to make the present enthusiasm lasting. (Hear, hear.) It would be the spark which could always be blown into fire. (Hear, hear.) Dr. HAWTREY said the uniform would be of the most inexpensive character, and would bear no appearance of dandyism. (Hear, hear.) Lord ELcuo said that in the corps he had the honour to command the dress cost but L 2 10s. for a man, so the cost would be less for a boy. The dress for the boys would simply be a tweed jacket and trousers, with a little bit of Eton blue on the jacket collar. (Hear, hear.) There was no necessity for any display—(which he was sorry to see was the case in some of the rifle corps, and from which the worst effects might be anticipated.) There would be no braid or frogs. The dress was such as could always be worn by the boys without rendering themselves conspicuous. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. General Sir DE LACY EVANS moved the next resolution, which was to the effect that all public schools should give their support to the movement. There was no country in Europe in which a move ment like that which was now going on was more necessary than this —(hear, hear) for it would be highly dangerous to remain disarmed in the presence of an armed neighbour. Adam Smith, one of the greatest writers on poli tical economy that ever existed, also had devoted a whole chapter to this subject, and he laid it down that the utmost care must be taken by a nation to be in a good state of defence, for if it was not so it was most likely to have every thing taken from it by any country that cultivated arms rather than commerce. (Hear, hear.) The militia of America amounted to two millions and a half, and as every other power demanded some sort of military service from its subjects but Eng land, he did not think it wise or prudent for a coun try like this to be in a state behind that of any other nation in the world. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CHADWICK had great pleasure in supporting the resolution. Drill was more conducive to health than anything he knew. Cricket was a healthy game, but then it gave round shoulders and a confined chest. This was not the case with drill, it acted in an entirely opposite way. It brought out and fully developed every muscle of the body. He was of opinion that a man who could earn a pound a week, without having learnt drill, would be worth h a lf as muc h aga i n if h e h a d done so. (Hear, hear.) ' The resolution was then agreed to. The Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL moved the fourth re solution. 1-13 said he was certain it would meet with no opposition, so he should not detain the meeting with any ngthened remarks, the more so as in December last he had publicly given his op - miens on the point in one of the newspapers. Those opinions had not met with opposition, so there was no need of his defending them ; on the contrary, the present meeting showed that some practical good had resulted therefrom. He was very gratified to find that the noble lord in the chair supported these opinions. They were supported by Lord West, who represented the army on that oc casion; that they were supported by Dr. Haw trey, a dignitary of the Church, and by the Hon ourable Mr. Byng, whom he looked upon the representative of the militia. With respect e to the movement that had taken place at the school at Eton on the subject of preliminary highest encouragement, he thought it was deserving of the encouragement, because there wer e some pantie, who would be sure to throw some o bloquy upon it for moving in the matter. The meeting, however, that afternoon would act as a shield over Eton. so that the attacks that might be made . on he • would fall to the ground harmless. He thought the present movement was above all others best calculated to make th e enthusiasm that now existed on the subje ct of national defences perma nent. He conclud ed b y moving the following re solution :-- "That in the opinion of this meeting the highest public approbation is duo to the provost, head master, and autho rities of Eton, for the prompt and judicious manner in which they have resolved to introduce elementary drill into the Eton system. Mr. EWART, ALP., seconded the molution, which w as carried unanimously, Resolutions appointing a committee for carrying out the objects of the meeting, and thanking the chairman for his attendance, were carried unani mously, after whisk the proceedings terminated. ~,_~ : 'I3IPERIAL PARLIAMENT, f ROUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAT.) ST. MARY IN RYDAL MARRIAGES BILL. This bill was read a second time and ordered to be coin. witted. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) ARMY ESTIMATES. _ _ Mr. ELLICE asked the Secretary of State for War, with reference to the discussion on the Budget on Mondey, whether the Army Estimates comprised the whole sum to be asked for the defences of the country for the ensing, year ; or when an estimate for any additional sum was to be laid upon the table. Mr. S. HERBERT, in reply to several other questions, said—The noble lord (Lord Elcho) wanted to know whether it was the intention of the Government to arm the volun teer artillery with carbines. He had to say in reply that the regular army would be first supplied with the new car bines, which were being manufactured, before any could be given to volunteers, but if they would accept of the old car bines they could have them. As to the question by the hon. member (Mr. Wyld), his reply was, that it was not - he intention of Government to supply the volunteers with the use of grounds for target practice, as he knew from ex perience that the sum required for such a purpose would be very large. The volunteers could either hire or buy land with much greater advantage than the Government could. (Hear, hear.) To the question which had been put by the - honourable member opposite (Mr. Hassard) he was afraid he could not give a satisfactory answer. Every exten sion of favour would be given to the officers in question that was possible, but it must be remembered that officers in the Indian service received higher pensions than those in the regular army. A captain in the latter had a pen sion of £127, and out of that he was charged £4O for placing his son at Sandhurst, while the Indian officer of the same rank received £355, and paid £lOO for his son at Sandhurst. He mentioned this to show the different positions in which those officers were relatively placed. Ile now came to the' question of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Ellice), who had asked whether the army estimates contained the whole of the sum which Government would ask for the present year. He (Mr. S. Herbert's) answer must be in the negative, be cause the disembodied militia would coat a further sum of £500,000. He would guard himself against speaking posi tively with reference to supplemental estimates, as last year there were two supplemental estimates. He did not, how ever, see at present that lie should have occasion to ask for more. The estimates were no doubt exceedingly large, and he should presently have to perform the difficult task of showing their necessity for the safety of the country. (Hear, hear.) There was a sum for fortificatiors of no small amount. As to the report on that subject, it was the duty of the Sec retary for War to see what should b.e done, and if the Ad ministration agreed in the conclusiou.whieh h e lied artived at, it was the duty of the Governnient- to recommend it to Parliament, and he had put down theexact that'.WOuld ' be required. As to the war with Cina, about. the stun of one million would be wanted—one half in the present finan cial year, and the other half in the next financial year. • CONSOLIDATION OP THE STATUTES., - Mr. COLLIER asked the •Attortrey.•General Whether.it is the intention of. her Majesty's Government to take ,any , measures for the consolidation of the whole of the statutes, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he hOpedthe whele subject would shortly be committed to. a . department or public board, in order that it might Meet with the attention its importance demanded. INDIA HOUSE RECORDS. Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary of Stain foe India what foundation there was for a repi..it that the business . of the India-office was to betransferred to ap4rtments in the Victoria Hotel, Westminster; that a portion of the MS.re- : cords at the India-office were to be destroyed, and'thet the museum and library were to. be 'dispersed, raiid, in case . of there being any truth in the • above-report, asked what ar rangements were contemplated to ..enable the East India Company to conduct their affairs? • - -.- Sir C. WOOD said he was nut pledged ,at present to are; moval of the records, but it was a. mere quest ion.of time, as it was intended to erect a new .building.fur the Indian de— partment, which was only delayed,iipon a question of arehi tecture: -When Cabinet Councils 'net it was. the greatest possible inconvenience .teehave to go three or four miles to the east end of London. It was not a matter of personal convenience, but an advantage to the public service. He had always been an advocate for a council being formed for India, but unless the Secretaly of State was able to be pre sent, no business could be properly transacted, and the pub lie interest suffered. Now, something must be done to put an end to that, and until the disputes now existing respect ing the Style of architecture in which the new India House were settled they must have some place more convenient than the present distant building for that purpose. Under these circumstances it was determined to take one-half of what was keown as the Victoria Hotel for that purpose, and an arrangement had been made, which would come into operationin the end of June or the beginning of July next. As to the despatches, they had nut been destroyed, and, in deed, they were in duplicate and triplicate in almost every case. TRADE MARKS. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any negotiations had been en tered into with foreign powers for the purpose of devising means to prevent the forgery of the trade marks of our manufacturers. lie wanted to know whether any negotia tions were now going forward with foreign powers on this question ? Mr. MALINS grieved to say that they must not run away with the idea that those offences were only committed. by foreigners, fur Englishmen were just as great adepts at this sort of imitation. Mr. STIRLING asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he would make a statement to the house explaining why it was necessary or expedient that the fiscal arrange ments between Great Britain and France, proposed in the budget, should be made the subject of a treaty, seeing that they: existed no apparent censtitutional obstacle to the adoption of those arrangements by the ordinary legislation of the two countries respectively; and whether any cot res pondence bearing on this point existed between her Majesty's Foreign Secretary and Earl Cowley and Mr. Cobden, or between any other official personages who took part in the late negotiations ; and if such correspondence could be laid on the table of the house ? The hon. gentleman proceeded to observe that nothing could be more opposite to the recent policy of the Government of the noble lord the Secretary of Stale for Foreign Affairs delivered in that house on the 22d of July last. (Hear, hear.) In that speech those who were listeners would not fail to remember that no man could express himself more decidedly against commercial treaties than the noble lord. (Hear, hear.) When they found that a Government which prided itself upon its free-trade principles negotiated a treaty in direct violation of those principles, it was surely time for the House of Commons to see what was being douw. (Hear, hear.) How Gould it be explained that that which was wrong in July WAS right in December. (Bunn, hear.) Neither in the treaty itself, nor in the speech of the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was there the slightest solution of this difficulty. In July the noble lord said that it was competent for each country temako suck alterations as those subsequently proposed. The present ex planation was that the constitution of France required a treaty in order to carry out the proposed changes. He (Mr. Stirling) had looked into the treaty, and did not see any thing in it which bore out that assertion. The hon. gen tleman concluded with his question. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the opinion of the law offi cers had been taken on the subject, and that sufficient penal ties were not attached to the forging of trade marks. It would be obvious• that the British Government could not ask any foreign Government to do anything in the matter until our own manufacturers had received that guarantee against improper trade marks which they did not at present enjoy. For this reason a bill would be shortly introduced, in which such punishment would be enacted for the forging of trade marks as would, he hoped, prevent the commission of the offence. When that bill became law the Government would apply to negotiate with foreign countries, in order to obtain the object which his hon. and learned friend had in view. In reply to the question of the hon. gentleman (Mr. Stirling), he thought the hon. gentleman must see it was a question of so large a nature that he could scarcely expect him to answer it upon that evening. If he desired to put forward these remarks as an argument against the commer cial treaty it was certainly at his option to do so, but he (Lord J. Russell) thought he would be consulting tho wishes of the house by not entering into this discussion at the pre sent moment. He despaired of convincing the hon. mem ber if he were net convinced by the speech of his right hon, friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but promised him he would take part in the discussion upon Monday next, when the whole question of protection and free trade would be brought before the house--(hear, hear)--and it would be his argument on that occasion that when com mercial treaties were adverse to free trade he would be against commercial treaties, but when they tended to esta blish the principles of free trade he would be in their favour. (Cheers.) The Treaty of Commerce must be looked upon as a means to an end. SAVOY. The same noble lard proceeded further to say—l think it right to add, for the information of the house, some state ments in regard to questions put to me last evening. Her Majesty's ambassador in France having addressed the Em peror upon this subject of the annexation of Savoy, was answered that the Emperor of France would not proceed to any final decision upon this matter of Savoy without con sulting the great Powers of Europe ; and he stated, more over, that ho would never think of any annexation on the part of Savoy, unless the people of Savoy were desirous of annexation. (Ironical cheering.) Our ambassador after wards was desired by the Emperor of the French to make this communication to her Majesty's Government, and the same communication was subsequently repeated by M. Touvenel, the Minister for Foreign Affairs in France. I don't know that I can state anything further en this sub ject, but it will appear from what I have stated that there must be more negotiation before a final decision be come to. TEIE I3UDGET. Mr. D I SRAE Ll—Thist tt s h a in s k ub c j a e n c t t e pofgoest7ornalsa. uie and pre z l ag si:uncleerest, which I do uo to the treaty of commerce. I believe I am only eX.- pressing the g eneralfee t l h in e g G o o f vemm theheonutsehwowhenthel treaty that ty o f we want to know from commerce is to be brought before U.S. The house will recol lect that in 1787 the Ministers brought down the treaty by command as the noble lord did the other day, and gave no tice that on a certain day the treaty would be taken into con sideration, and would move resolutions which would in fact embody the provisions of the treaty. The house having passed the resolutions, there would be an address to the Crown. The resolutions were then sent to the House of Lords, which also passed them. A similar address was presented to the Crown. A gracious answer was received from the thron., and then the House of Commons pro ceeded to pass a bill for the purpose of carrying the treaty into effect. Ido not see that the Government is now pursuing a similar course —(hear, hear, and cheers) — and it seems to me that by not pursuing that course the 'House of Commons will be deprived of its privileges in a most important matter. (Hear, hear.) The Minister for Foreign Affairs has not given notice of his intention of call ' ing on the house to consider the treaty, or to legislate so as to tarry the treaty into effect ; but we hear that on Monday we are to proceed by resolution, in a committee on thecus aibeee upon cus toms duties, moved by the right hon. gentleman the Chan. house cellor to observe othhseervEextchihesq—utehr.st when it be o we g the Customs Acts, we shall be call ed u p on to reduce the into committee I g the d— eod duties—those duties the reduction of which is provided for in the treaty of commerce—snd that therefore the resolution is a preliminary step for carrying the treaty into effect.
