IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack st five o'clock. CHURCH RATES. Viscount DUNGANNON presented petitions froT Shropshire and Berkshire against the abolition of chureZ rates. MARRIAGE LAW. • The NOBLE VISCOUNT also gave notice that on the 24th inst. he should present a petition from Aylesbury, signed, by 300 women, against legalising the marriage with a de ceased wife's sister. CHURCH RATES. The Earl of DERBY presente d a p e tition from South Devon in favour of church rates. Viscount DUNGANNON presented the petition of Which he had given notice , from places in the diocese of St. Asa h. The petitioners pra yed their lordships to be very careful how they gave their sanction to any bill calculated to abolish the payment of church-rates. ENDOWED SCHOOLS. Lord BROUGHAM presented ipptitions from Penrhyn and other places against the exclusion of Dissenters from trust funds of endowed schools. The Earl of CARNARVON drew the attention of their lordships to a difference in the bill introduced this session and the one brought in last year. At the first blush the present bill appeared precisely the same ' • but a great dif ference, on a close examination, was to be found in the 7th clause. Under these circumstances, he trusted the noble and learned lord would not proceed with the second reading of the bill, which was fixed for Tuesday next. Lord CRANWORTH said he introduced the bill on the first day of the session, and it was perfectly true there was a difference in the 7th clause, and it was for the house to say whether that alteration was agreeable. He could not consent to any postponement. Lord CHELMSFORD thought the best course to pursue was to postpone the consideration of the bill until the House of Commons, which had already had the subject under consideration,had expressed a decided opinion on the point. Earl GRAN VILLE could not understand that any in convenience would arise in proceeding with this bill on the day originally named. Lord REDESDALE said there had been no time for those interested in the question to express any opinion on the proposed bill. At present it was not known whether either party would accept the measure. The Marquis of BATH was in favour of postponing the second reading of the bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought, as there ap peared s. feeling in favour of postponing the second reading, his noble friend would consent to postpone proceeding with the bill until Thursday next. Lord CRANWORTH said he should be prepared on the second reading, to state the reasons for the impor tant alterations he had made in the seventh clause. As a more attractive subject stood for discussion on Tuesday next, he would consent to postpone the second reading until Thursday. ST. GEORGE'S IN THE EAST. Lord EBITRY gave notice that on Friday next he should present a petition from the parishioners of St. George's in the East relative to the disturbances that had for some time past taken place in the church of that parish. LAW OF PROPERTY. This bill was read a third time and passed. CHINA. Earl GREY presented a petition agreed to at a pablic meeting, praying their lordships would do all in their power to prevent this country from entering into a war with China by which an important source of revenue would be cut off, and for which there was no assignable object or reason. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. , Mr. WALKER took the oaths and his seat for Beverley, and Mr. DENT for Scarborough. PRIVATE BUSINESS. -- The standing orders were declared to have been complied with in the case of several railway and other bills. GLOUCESTER AND WAKEFIELD ELECTIONS. Mr. BRISTOW moved for an address for a return of the expenses of, and incident to, the commissions recently exe cuted for inquiring into the Gloucester and Wakefield elec tions.—Agreed to. THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT AND REMOVAL. Mr. KEKEWICH asked the President of the Poor Law Board, whether it was his intention to move for the re-ap pointment of the select committee on the irremovable poor, with the view of proposing an alteration in the laws of set tlement and removal, during the present session ? Mr. VILLIERS said it was intended to renew the com mittee in question. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Sir H. CAIRNS asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of Government to introduce any measure respecting intermediate education in Ireland ; and when any such measure would be introduced. Mr. CARDWELL said it was intended to introduce a bill on the subject of education and schools in Ireland. LODGING-HOUSES IN IRELAND. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Attorney-General for Ireland whether his attention had been called to the late decision in the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, to the effect that the .Common Lodging-house Acts did not extend to that country ; and to inquire what course he intended to pursue in consequence of such decision? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said that it was intended to introduce a declaratory measure on the subject. ITALY. Mr. GRIFFITHS asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it was, in his opinion, expedient that a diplomatic representative of England should inter fere so far in the internal concerns of the country to which he is'actredited as to prevent the appointment of a presi dent or commander to a patriotic armed association for the defence of the country, such as the intended " Nazione Armata" in Sardinia, resembling in principle our own rifle volunteers, without the knowledge or authority of his own Government, or without having, as far as it appears, made it distinctly intelligible that such proceeding was entirely his own, and not that of his Government. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he considered the conduct of their representative in Italy was perfectly right and be coming on his part. (Hear, hear.) It was the opinion of that gentleman that the setting up of an armed force, inde pendent of the Sovereign or Government of the country was wrong, and he made his views known, and he (Lord J. Russell) thought he did what was perfectly right. (Hear, hear.) REFORM BILL FOR SCOTLAND. Mr. BAXTER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Departm3nt• if Government intended to explain the provisions of the Reform Bill for Scotland, and to lay it on the table at the same time that they did the bill for Eng land and Wales. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Lord Advocate would lay a Reform Bill for Scotland on the table when the Re form Bill for England was introduced. INDIAN MEDALS, &c. Sir M. FARQUHAR asked the Secretary of State for India when the Indian medals were to be issued ; and whether, as information had been received of the amount of Lucknow prize money, he would state what that amount was ; and also, whether any steps had been taken for the payment of the batta or prize-money to the troops and sea men engaged in the battles of Bushire and Kooshab, in Persia ? _ _ _ Sir C. WOOD said that the Indian medals had already been distributed, and that the amount of Lucknow prize money was about £143,000. HYDE-PARK. Mr. E. JAMES directed the attention of the Govern ment to the state of Hyde-park ; and asked the First Lord of the Treasury what plan the Government proposed for the ornamental cultivation of the space i now ed vacant sai by the removal of shrubs and growing trees . had been voted for plants in Hyde-park, and £l , O OO more £350 for laying them out. While Lo r d Llanover was •ln offic e "the object was carried out, and h e b e li eve d his im mediate successor, Lord John Manners, did not interfere with that arrangement. Last year Mr. Fitzroy succeeded to the office, a gentleman whose name would be received with a feeling , of regret .in that house. He (Mr. Fitzr o y) h a d long pre sidedover the debates in that house, an d attended to the private business and other matters of business, and throughout exhibited the impartiality of the English judge and the courtesy of an English gentleman. (Hear, hear.) Last December a number of excavators were sent to the park in the night, and, by the removal of the plants, very soon reduced the space between Stanhope - street and H ydef .park-gate into an utter waste. He understood no alteration could be made in royal property without the sanction of the Duke of Cambridge, as Ranger of the Parks, and when the noble lord (Palmerston) was applied to on the subject, he said that it was intended to convert the space-of ground in question into a nursery, than which there could be nothing of a more objectionable character to those accustomed to frequent the parks. ord PALMERSTON said he was happy the present L subject had been brought forward, in order that same delu sions which prevailed might be dissipated. In the first place he was happy . that the honourable and t learned member had done justice to a late member of tha house—(hear)—a gentleman who possessed to a greater extent than, perhaps, any other member, the respect of both sides of the house. (Hear.) In a certain degree there was some truth in the statements attributed as having been addressed to the deputation by him (Lord Palmerston). The fact was that the plants in the space in question were found not to flourish, and it bad been found necessary to remove them, and to improve the soil by manure and other means to enable it to support the plants that would be placed there as soon as the ground was fit for their recep tion. After a few words from Sir J. SHELLEY, the subject dropped. MR. DRUMMOND HAY. Mr. MAGUIRE called the attention of the Secretary of Stat e f sr Forei g n Affairs to certain statements in the 2 imes its newspaper of January the 24th, in the letter of "Special Coriespondent," from the seat of war on the coast of Morocco, as to the alleged or reported mis conduct on Majesty' s Cons u l at T rt of Mr. Drummond Hay, her had come t o th e knowlendgier ; and asked whether any facts justify the b e li e f that the.e of the G overnmen t w hi c h would British C onsu l h a d i n an y wa y violated that s t r i c t neutrality which s h ou ld b e ma i n t a i ne d by the official representative of this c oun t ry i n re l at i on to both of the belligerent Powers, Spain and Morocco ? he was in possession f Mr. LIDDELL said that tain information derived fro as very good authority,erleman who s .ion o 17r iwredich Le should be happy to show a ni n o y w him to state one to see it, he hoped the house wouTd g wee a r 's conduct in a diff ° e r two facts which would place Mr. 1 . represented by the ex tract-rout light from that in which it tnhniregard to Mr. urgedthe e upo just read by the hon. gentleman!

These were facts which he believed to be authentic, and he had felt it his duty not to withhold them from the house—(hear) — - w hen the c haracter of an absent official ap d p V IP' , eare to be im ed—at least when it had been made the object outside that house of malignant aspersions. FRENCH ARMAMENTS. Mr. IUNGLA.KE—I have studied how to frame the ques ti on which I am about to put in a way which shall not be consider ,"1 as "Pressing distrust, but rather, so far as is capable of beirig accomplished in a matter of this kind, something like confidence in the present Adminicallestrationd on On Monday next the Houce of Commons is to be to give its sanction t o a ties.: is to bring us into t? which ire of France—(hear, m ore intimate relations w ith the Et;:'l3 hear) —and we are to be asked at the sat:.‘e time to consider those arrangements which the Ch ancellor of il.le Exchequer will produce to us with a view of meeting the vast Menses which we have been obliged to incur in consequence of 'he present state of Europe. (Hear, hear.) The cause which makes it necessary to incur this outlay is no secret to any man; everybody is aware that it has arisen from the fact that in the present phase of the French revolution, a vast concentration of power has taken place, and that the Em peror of the'', French wields • the resources of France, not through statesmen or Ministers, but in a way which makes it impossible to know what his intentions are, except in so far as one is able to divine them from the probable use of the great armaments which he is preparing. I sincerely be lieve that almost the entire of Europe, including the great country of France, f erven tly desires the continuan ce of peace—(hear)—bu t I cannot forget that last year Europe, including then as well as now the great country of France, desired the continuance of peace with an intensity equal to that by which it is at present animated. That wish was frustrated by circumstances which are so recent that it is needless further to allude to them ; but what occurred may be stated in ono short sentence—Austria madly and fool ishly began the war, but it was the Emperor of the French who began the quarrel. (Hear.) It is not for me to say whether Europe has been taught or misled by the expe rience of last year, but to every gentleman holding corre spondence with the Continent it must be known that a general idea is prevalent that the peace of Europe is again about to be disturbed, and that schemes are on foot for altering territorial arrangements, independent of those modifications which may have to be carried out in Italy. Although there may be other grounds for these apprehen sions, the anxiety that is felt is mainly due to the arma ments existing throughout Europe, and it may be readily believed that the uneasiness which prevails on the Conti nent speedily makes itself felt in this country. It is, of course, to be observed that there may have been exaggera tion as to many points which we have heard ; for those who busy themselves'in communicating intelligence to England are, for the most part, unfriendly to the present Government of France. (Hear, hear.) But it does appear to me that it must rest in the power of her Majesty's Foreign-office to dispel this anxiety in a great measure, or, if not to dispel it, at all events to convert what is now a vague sentiment of fear into a rational, wise, and persistent-vigilance. (Hear, hear.) My observation of the military preparations of France enables me to make one remark, which may exercise in one respect a reassuring tendency. Many persons entertain the opinion that wild incursions, descents, and small expedi tions of a marauding character may be _attempted on our coast, and that in this manner, without any serious conse quences to either country, great mischief might be effected. Now, sir, to do justice to the present ruler of France, I do not believe that it is consistent with his.policy to do any thing in a small way; and, therefore, if I could be convinced that no largo armaments were in preparation, I should rest assured that the peace of Europe was not about to be dis turbed. Great preparations cannot be made in an hour, and cannot go on in corners, so that if I should succeed in ob taining from the noble lord anything like an assurance that no vast preparations are at present going on in France, it follows that we have established a great ground of security. Unfortunately, the information which reaches me as a pri vate individual is not of such a reassuring kind as I should hope to receive from the noble lord. It is the practice of the French Government to make known their intention some time beforehand to the prefects of the departments ; and I am informed that they received notice that a levy of 140,000 men is to take place for the purpose of what is called remplacement. I am also told that the Emperor of the French has for the present refused to give the conge to some 40,000 men who, under ordinary cir cumstances, would have been sent to their homes some weeks since. The consequence is that by this new levy, and by the retention of this large body of trained soldiers, the m ilitary forces of France will be next spring on a most for midable footing. I am assured—though this in like manner is perhaps an exaggeration—that the Emperor of the French will then be prepared to take the field with a force of no less than 600,000 men. In addition, I have been informed that great preparations are being urged forward for the sup ply of horse transports on the north coast of France. (Hear, hear.) Then, if I turn from the military to the naval arma ments, I find that this unfortunate battle of the dockyards, if I may so call it, is being carried on with unceasing perti nacity; and that at the very moment when the member for Rochdale was carrying on what was supposed to be a very friendly intercourse with - the Emperor of the French his Majesty was devoting his mind with great earnestness to a pursuit which would indicate that he was preparing for a species of conflict which would have to be decided by armed vessels. When such are the reports which reach the ears of private individuals, I think I am not doing wrong in giving the noble lord an opportunity of correcting what I hope may turn out to bo false and exaggerated statements ; thereby enabling us to enter upon the discussion on Monday with that knowledge which it is most important for us to possess of the preparations which the Emperor of the French is really making. Ido not make anything like a complaint against the Emperor of the French ; I merely desire the in formation as a dry piece of statistics ' which will enable me to arrive at the conclusion that I shallnext week be called upon to form more satisfactorily than any other information could possibly do ; and it will be to my mind more cogent than any speech withwhich the matchless eloquence of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer may lead him ; to favour us. The hon. member concluded by asking the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it would be consistent with the interests of the public service to communicate to the house any of the information which had reached the Foreign-office in respect to the military and naval preparations of the Em peror of the French ; and if so, whether such information could be communicated before the financial statement which it was proposed to deliver on Monday. Colonel W. S. KNOX wished to ask, before the noble lord answered the question, whether the treaty of commerce with France had been ratified by any responsible officer of the Government, and whether it would be laid on the table before Monday ? Lord J. RUSSELL said—With respect to the first ques tion put by the hon. member forDungarvan (Mr. Maguire), I can state that Mr. Drummond Hay is a gentleman of the highest honour and character. He, with other members of his family, have been long in the service of the Crown. He has, therefore, had much experience of publio life, and knows too well his duty to the Crown to take any course inconsistent with the general policy of her Majesty's Go vernment. (Hear.) From his long residence in Morocco, and his kindness to all who hold any intercourse with him, he has gained to a great degree the respect of the people of that country, not only of the Foreign Minister of the Emperor of Morocco, who was formerly a merchant, but of the wild tribes of natives who so frequently made incursions into the Spanish settlements. Having this influence, I believe that he, according to instructions from her Majesty's Government, endeavoured to prevent the breaking out of war between Spain and Morocco. He endeavoured to prevent this war, till he was told by the Moorish Minister that, whatever advice might be given, Morocco could make no further concessions. Mr. Drummond Hay did exert himself to the utmost, and ;used the influence he had so justly ac quired to prevent the outbreak of hostilities. Since that time, it being ;the policy of her Majesty's Government to be neutral in the war, his conduct had been in strict conformity with his instructions. The hon. member has read a report from the correspondent of the Times newspaper—a very respectable gentleman, I believe; but he is in the Spanish camp, and can hear nothing but what he is told by Spaniards. They have stated various matters which the correspondent repeats, but he says that he knows nothing of them and has no proof of them whatever. I have not heard from Mr. Drummond Hay since he had an oppor tunity of seeing these statements in the newspaper, but I have not a doubt they are one and all entirely false. I do not believe that Mr. Drummond Hay has felt it his duty to take any part in the war. The Spanish Minister did on one occasion state to Mr. Buchanan that complaints had been made of the partiality of Mr. Drummond Hay; but he gave no e 'nstance of such partiality, nor any proof of it whatever. are aware that the Spanish Government in this war has obtained the aid of British merchants, and that the Spanish c j o u m e t p l l y a i b n o t s, t madeh er e b f y o r thee, o f G a o vat m i o e n n e t f o n f e ut ra Moroccoli t y m t i h g e h n t army has been supplied with B r iti s h s t ores an d p rov i s i ons . m An or y e by the Government of Spain. (Hear.) I believe that the whichhasb peenartyin this entirely free war fro m blame.conduc t o l f wish3•dlor.not Drummondto } s i t L a ; r ight; but I cannot sympathise with the enthusiasm is the hon. gentleman in regard to it. Ido not think be cause of party is Christian and the other Mahorsetan we ouehtontoe give the former all the sympathy, without knowing the ca uses of the quarrel. (He ar .) I will now refer to the questions of ray hon. friend the member for Bridgwater (Mr. Kinglake). He has stated much with regard to the late war in Italy, which this is not the proper occasion to discuss, but which may hereafter come under consideration. All I can say with regard to the other part of this subject ie, that we have in Paris a very able ambassador, and a mili tary attache to the -embassy, possessing great knowledge and experonce • o f the French army, From neither one nor the other has her Majesty's Government received any. ac• count of any extraordinary military preparations in France. As for the statement of 600,000 men to be in readiness for tho field by the spring, there is nothing to corroborate it. A great number of men way be called on to serve in the French army by conscription, and a general conscription takes place In the course of every year. The hon. gentleman must recollect that the Peace of Zurich has not long been signed, and the Congress that was summoned for the purpose of rendering the pacification of Italy soli d and durable has not been held. It is therefore desirable, while pease is so recent and the affairs of Italy have not yet settled down, to use every means to prevent a renewal of the war, • or any collision in Italy that might excite it. Her Majesty's Government has recently been engaged in efforts to secure the permanence of that peace ; and I can state that everything that has been done has proved most satisfactory. We have represented to the Government of Sardinia the danger of any collision with Austria on the territory of or Venetia elsewhere ; and I have to-day received an assur a nee from the Sardi • man Government that it will do nothing tending to eau from desirous t sea renewal of hostilities. France also is far the Government tha t of there should be any renewal of the war ; and th e Emperor is. exerting itself earnestly unremittingly to secure the • • the peace- -On the other hand s ol idi ty and permanence of acquiesce in the present Austria, though unwilling to state of It a ly, i s by no means disposed to renew th e war Powers in possession of the Y making any attack on the country. (Hear, hear.) With. TEEE SUN, ONDOlst out venturing to predict what will be the course of events in the next year, I may say that the present aspect of affairs is favourable; nor is there any reason to suppose that France is making the military preparations my hon. friend has referred to. With regard to the naval arsenals of France and the great activity described' as prevailing in them, we all know that a great change has taken place in the character of naval warfare. (Hear, hear.) It is made a matter of speculation in books and pamphlets what the character of the next naval war will be. The Government of the late King of the French, Louis Philippe, drew up a plan for increasing the strength of the French navy; every ruler of France for nearly the last 100 years has endeavoured to increase and strengthen its marine. They have all con sidered, naturally enough, that France ought to be a great maritime Power. Both England and France have endea voured to be strong at sea, not with a view to any rivalry, but from a belief that each nation ought to maintain its an cient character. I cannot say, therefore, that the naval pre parations of France ought to be a matter of jealousy to us. If the two nations agreed that there should be no such pre parations and no strong navy, we might expect France to follow our course in that respect; but, while France deter mined to make herself strong at sea, and we like to have a strong navj also, I do not think it is a reason why th e two nations should lutc;S any dispute with each other. In reply to the question of the hon. And gallant member for Dun gannon (Col. Knox), I have to state that the treaty which he mentions cannot be laid on the table of the house before Monday next. I may add that the persons who were em ployed, and who received full powers to negociate that treaty, were Lord Cowley and Mr. Cobden. (Cheers.) DISEMBODIMENT OF THE MILITIA. Colonel DICKSON rose pursuant to notice, to call the a ttention of the house to this subpsit, and expressed his re gret as a soldier that militia regiments, which had cost so much time and trouble to bring them to their present pitch of efficiency, were upon a sudden to be disembodied. A. suffi dent reason upon such a stop was, he might be told, to be found in the fact that a certain number of regiments of the line were about to return from India ; but it should be borne in mind that those regiments were but mere skele ' tons, and would, as a consequence, by no means supply the deficiency which the proposed disembodiment of militia would create. He might add that the proceeding was one which was in his opinion uncalled for, and which would, owing to its suddenness, inflict great hardship, especially upon the junior officers and sergeants, who had nobly come forward at the call of their country, and who had for some four or Ave years past been leading a life which, more or less, rendered them unfit for other occupations. But altogether independent of that consideration, he should beg the right hon. gentle man the secretary for War not to lose sight of the fact that, although we were now at peace with France, and although the French Emperor had shown himself to bo a loyal ally, yet that he was but the creature of circum stances, and that we might at any moment stand in need of the force with which the right hon. gentleman was about to dispense. He (Col. Dickson) did not, of course mean to contend that the militia should be made a permanent insti tution of the country, but he was at the same time prepared to maintain that the various regiments of which it was com posed ought not to be disbanded without sufficient notice. The subject was therefore one which he ho p ed the right hon gentleman would take into his consideration. JERSEY COMMISSION. Mr. HADFIELD, in whose name a notice stood upon the paper relative to the delay which had occurred in the progress of the inquiry into the operation of the laws of Jersey, which a commission had last session been appointed to institute, complained that the commissioners had ceased ever since August last to pursue the investigation, and that great inconvenience had in consequence been oceasioned. eHteampeiginhtt of the e th i a n t q w ui h ry en w t h h i e e y h ad w j ae our f adjourned they e int h e a r l t to the arrived inhabitants of Jersey—the law connected with the tenure land—and that they could diseover no good reason why they should have allowed a period of more than five months to elapse without resuming the duties which they had been appointed to discharge. It was of great importance to the district that this commission should be speedily executed, and two royal commissions, involving much more labour than this, had, since it was issued completed their inquiries and made their reports. In these circumstances he had felt it his duty, at the request of the inhabitants of Jersey, to call the attention of the Home Secretary to the delay which had taken place, and to ask why the commissioners had not completed their inquiries, and when their report might be expected ? Sir G. C. LEWIS—A commissionwas issued last spring to inquire into the laws of Jersey. The commissioners visited the island in the course of the summer and autumn ; and in August they left the island, having com pleted that portion of their inquiry. They have since been occupied in the consideration and preparation of their re port. lam assured by their secretary that it is in a state of forwardness, and may be expected to be presented at no distant period. ' With regard to the question of land tenures, bankruptcy, and insolvency, the commissioners have made inquiry into those subjects, and are in possession of docu mentary evidence relating to them. The hon. gentleman is doubtless aware that, although he may have a very strong opinion as to the policy of assimilating the land tenures of Jersey to those of England, the people of Jersey have a considerable attachment to the old laws and institutions of their island. When this commission was appointed there was an understanding that it should net last for more than one year, but I am not able to specify the precise time when their report will be made. NAVIGATION OF THE GODAVERY. Mr. J. B. SMITH rose to call the attention of the house to the importance to the commerce and manufacturers of this country of opening out the navigation of the river Godavery ; and to ask the Secretary of State for India what are the intentions of the Government in respect thereof. The province of India to which his question chiefly re ferred contained an area of 130,000 square miles, and was four times the extent of Ireland. It contained iron and timber, but what he particularly wicked to call attention to was its produce of flax, hemp, and cotton. The manufac tures of this country were increasing so rapidly that the consumption of the raw material was overtaking the pro duction; and it was natural, therefore, that manufacturers should look to those places which would supply them with the raw material, especially when those places happened to be under the dominion of the British crown. Gentlemen who were connected with the linen trade in Scotland and Ireland told them that the progress of that important manufacture was absolutely stopped for want of an adequate supply of flax and hemp ; and, as regards cotton, who could look with unconcern on what was taking place in the Southern States of America at the present moment, espe cially when they considered that eight-tenths of the cotton consumed by our manufacturers came from those States ? Some might say this was a Manchester question, and no doubt it was ; but when they considered that the cotton manu facture amounted to upwards of £60,000,000 per annum, was not this, he asked, a question of great national interest also? (Hear, hear.) They had abundant evidence to show that India could grow all the cotton we requi. ed. Dr. Forbes Boyle estimated the amount at double the quantity produced in the United States. Retaining the great bulk of their produce for their own people, they had but a small quantity for exportation. But the reason we received so small a quantity of cotton from India was the great expense of conveying it to the port of embarkation. If the Govern ment would but give roads, the export of cotton would in crease rapidly. The hon. member read an extract from an Indian correspondent, describing the difficulties and delays occasioned by the present mode of carriage over almost im • passable roads. It was difficult to estimate the annual loss thus arising both to the district and to the country. This was pretty much the case all over India, with the excep tion of some cotton which was grown on the coast. It was particularly so in the most important part of the eountry of Berar, where the largest quantity of cotton, and the finest in quality, was grown. The cost of transit to the Indian planter was about 100 per cent. To remedy this state of things they had only to avail themselves of the river Goda very. It could be made navigable for a sum of about £300,000. The cotton of Borer could then be brought to the place of shipment at one-eighth of a penny per pound, and the cot ton planters of India and America would be placed on the same footing. Captain Haig was so deeply impressed with the importance to the commerce and manufactures of this country of opening the Godavery that he felt it his duty on his return to India to address a letter to the Secretary of State for India on the subject, pointing out not only great commercial but also military advantages. He showed that if the river were made navigable the diminished cost of the transport of troops and stores would of itself pay the interest of the outlay. They all knew the revenue the Government derived from salt—it was a - Government monopoly in India. It was to be regretted that the necessities of Indian finance had led to the increase of the tax on salt ; but if this river were opened out the people of that district, notwithstanding the increased duty on salt, would obtain that commodity at less than half its present price. By the increased consumption of salt the Gouernment would gain enormously. The increased duty, accord ing to the Government, by the opening of the Godavery, would amount to about £64,000, paying the interest of the outlay three times over. There was some controversy, in deed, as to the practicability and importance of opening the Godavery. The hon. and gallant member for Aberdeen held it to be impracticable. Sir C. Trevelyan, the Governor of Madras, had gone into the district with a board of seen tiflo men to tr at the value of these opinions, and he had made a minute, in which he stated that these works were of such great importance that he should feel it his duty, as long as he remained Governor of that Presidency, to visit them every year. Sir C. Trevelyan also stated that the works would open up the most fertile regions of Central India, and serve to develops a new trade to the extension of which no limits could be assigned. If this river were rendered navigable a supply of cotton might be obtained which was capable of indefinite expansion, and which would go far to preserve us from those accidents to which our manufacturers were now subject. He wished, therefore, to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the Govern ment intended to open out the Godavery, and, if so, when tTemhnraeaerbvkliotyrthakhaniweGhameesvhi minute Government tembedeet4 there c tet a hr r tee r ie statewep carried proceed c into teohefidet hw e r ea ff i tterhhenetdt.rhi Indian nsilsrwneeeovuSrekrinar.l,l,Cei discouraging woulde!

They therefore cost double the amount I f l ot ca l ra vll 3 * they might be completed if they were executed Unintlectrho ruptedly and with vigour. Mr. S. H ERBE RT wished to answer the questions which 'had been put to him in the course of that discussion. With regard to the disembodiment of the militia regiment which the hon. and gallant member so worthily and successfully commanded, ha could only say it was always very painful for the Government to come to a decision that would be d's tasteful to individuals; but the interests of the public ser vice necessarily overrode all considerations of that kind, and ho had taken the earlies t o pp ortunity of communicating to the gallant officer the conclu sion at which they had Arrived. He had stated last year, in moving the army estimates, that in his opinion a large and continuous embodiment of the militia in time of peace was radically wrong in principle. It was unwise to anticipate the resources which ought to be kept in reserve for periods of emergency. Holding that opi nion, he followed the course that he had announced, viz') SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1860. that of gradually disembodying the militia regiments in proportion as the regular troops were available for taking their place. This operation was rendered very uncertain, owing to the requirements of India, and to the demand upon our regular force caused by the recent unfortunate calamity in China. With regard to the claims of officers of the Land Transport Corps, a committee of the house had sat, before which was brought the case of certain officers who had en tered that corps under very peculiar circumstances, and who at the conclusion of the Crimean war were discharged from that service. The committee went carefully through the matter and divided the cases into certain classes, mak ing recommendations as to the manner in which those different classes should be treated by the Government. The War-office, then presided over by his predecessor, applied to the Treasury for the funds re• quisite for carrying out those recommendations ; and after a good deal of correspondence all the claims were satisfied which came before that committee. That corps was raised on the understanding that it was only to be continued dur ing the Russian War, and engagements for two years with very high pay were g iven in certain instances. On the re turn of peace it became necessary to dissolve the corps ; but the case of those officers to whom a committee of that house recommended that compensation should be paid differed from that of those officers of whom the committee took no notice, and with respect to whom it made no recommenda tion. Among others there was the case of men who had given up situations in the Civil Service which carried the right to a pension, and who, when they lost their position in the Land Transport Corps, were left without the expec tation either of the pension which their civil situation would have given them, or of the half-pay which military employment conferred. There were other cases to which he nead not particularly refer, but the position of those gen tlemen was this, that they were appointed " until further orders." The hon. member had quoted a letter from Col. Wetherall to show that these gentlemen were to be treated in the same manner as the others. But in this Colonel Wetherall was entirely wrong, for the arrangement was only a provisional one, and he could have no means of knowing what course the Government would ultimately take, To illustrate how little claim existed on the part of the officers in whose favour the committee did not report, he would mention a single instance. Lieut. Delamere, a very respectable person,. was an ensign in the 21st Regi ment of Foot, when he joined the Land Transport Corps, of which he was made a captain till further orders. He still reraained on the strength of his regiment, so much so that he actually received promotion in it during the time he was acting ao captain in the Land Transport Corps. He became a lieutenant and was sent back to his regiment. He stands in no worse position than anybody else ; be gained his promotion. But to make him a captain over the heads of all the other officers, who were constantly under fire and in the trenches, while be was not, would surely be very unjust. (Hear, hear.) The House of Commons, therefore, having given this subject its best consideration, and the recommendations of the select committee having been adopted—in carrying out which, indeed, the Government had gone even further than its own sense of justice might, perhaps, have induced it to go—he thought they could not now reopen the question of the claims of these officers. Colonel SYKES, after what had fallen from the hon. member for Stockport, wished to say that he was a strenu ous advocate for the opening of all communication in India, by land or by water, though he thought that ought to be done with the means of the country. His opinion had always been that the opening out of the Godavery was quite practicable, but that the cost of its exe cution would exceed reasonable bounds. The recent mutiny had deranged Indian finance. The interest on the Govern ment loan was then 4 per cent. ; but the Government had immediately to open a 5 per cent. loan. Finding that even that increase would not take, they were obliged to offer 51 per cent., with an undertaking not to pay off for 26 years. They consented also to accept the new loan half in paper and half in money, thereby raising the pre vious loans to 51 per cent. Still, these terms were found insufficient, and the Government in India were obliged to write to the home authorities for assistance. -*Very luckily, there was a better appreciation of the real capabilities of India in the money market of this country than in that of Calcutta ; and the result was that the 51 per cent. loan was at a discount of 4 . per cent. in India, while a few days ago it was at a premium of 1 per cent. in England. The finances of India were now paying 51 per cent. for a loan that could be obtained here at less than 4 per cent. The Five per Cent. Loan open in Calcutta now stood at 103. All contributions, to it were to the damage of the finances of In dia, and he therefore desired to know whether it was the intention of the Secretary of State to direct that it should be immediately closed. He also wished to be informed by the right hon. gentleman whether the unanimous recom mendation of the Governor-General and his Council that batta should be granted to the troops of the Persian expe dition, as had been done in the case of the first Burmah ex pedition, of the China expedition, and of the capture of Delhi and Lucknow, would receive his sanction ; and whe ther the three officers of the 3d Cavalry who so greatly dis tinguished themselves in the charge upon a regiment of Persian Infantry formed in square would receive the Vic toria Cross. INDIAN AFFAIRS. In reply to Mr. W. EWART and Mr. BLACK, Sir CHARLES WOOD, in answer to the questions put to him respecting India, assured his hon. friend that no person could be more alive to the importance of opening out the navigation of the river Godavery than he was. As to the opening of that navigation, the letter published at his (Sir Charles Wood's) request by Captain Hayes, who surveyed the entire territory, would give every infor mation on the subject. Every obstacle which prevented a free navigation of that river would be removed as soon as possible, and directions had been given to the Government of India to remove these obstacles. The river had been al ready opened for a distance of 250 miles, and he need hardly say that the eenclusion of the work was most essential to the cultivation of cotton in India, and his hon. friend might depend upon it that every effort would be used to accomplish the work. Piers were in course of erection on the western coast to give facilities for exporting cotton, and works com menced which would unite the Ganges canal with the river Godavery. He had received a letter from Lord Elphinstone, which informed him that he expected the work would be completed in three yea's. Then as to the question put by his hon. and gallant friend the member for Aberdeen, nothing could be done with regard to it until the end of the next financial year ; and as to the Persian expedition it had been already arranged that one half the expense should be paid by India, and the other by this country. The question put by the hon. member for Dumfries, with respect to introducing into the Legislative Council of India representatives of the com mercial class, was one of great importance and great diffi culty, and was now under the consideration of her Ma jesty's Government. With regard to the publication of the financial statement of Indian affairs, no objection whatever could be offered to it, and, in point of fact, it had been already done by the Indian Government without any communication whatever with the Government at home. As to tho question put by the hon. member whether the Government still contemplated legalising the importa tion of natives of British India as indentured labourers in French colonies, all he could say was, that when he came into offiee he found a treaty had been negotiating with France to allow coolies to be carried to French colonies in the same manner as to the British, and was acquiesced in by the Government, in the hope of putting an end to slavery on the east coast of Africa, as it was hoped would be done on the Western coast. In the arrangement that had been negotiated it would he believed be found with regard to the terms upon which the importation of coolies should take place, the interests of the latter had been well cared for. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. BOUVERIE (in allusion to his rejected motion of yesterday week) called the attention of the house to the rambling form assumed by the discussions on Friday even ings, owing to the notice of motions having precedence of the orders of the day. They had had about 20 speeches on n all over the world. They had commenced by taking with the hon. member f or M ary l e b ene i n H y d e n then they travelled with th e h on. mem b er f or apneaararl gas many different subjects, an d h a d wan d ere d Park — then nearly r Stockport te the Godavery river—then to Morocco with the hon. member for Dungarvati—then they spent a little time in Jersey with the hon. member for Sheffield, and at last, after travelling over the greater part of the world, they had amused themselves by discussing education, coolies' emigiation, estimates, in all about 13 or 1.4 subjects. (Hear, hear.) He thought that this was not a system cal culated to shed a lustre or dignity over their debates, and that the present rule operated very inconveniently; a stranger coming to the house for the first time on a Friday would form a very curious notion of their proceedings. Mr. WILLIAMS suggested that Friday should be given up altogether to notices of motion, and commence the Com mittee of Supply on the Monday without interruption. PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION BILL (INDIA). This bill was read a second. time. PETITIONS OF RIGHT. Tkis bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Monday week. NEWSPAPERS, &c., BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. SPOONER objected that it was passing through the house sub silentio, and that some explanation of its objects ought to be made, so that the house might be fully awaro what it was about. Mr. AYRTON said that the bill had been fully explained and discussed; and, it fact, had passed that house last ses sion, but there was not time for it to pass the Lords. It was now reintroduced, and he had not thought it necessary again to occupy the time of the house on the subject. The object of the bill was to repeal certain acts and parts of acts intended to strengthen the hands of the Executive Govern ment in times of peculiar difficulty, but the necessity for which had long since passed away. The house then went into committee, and having passed the bill through taat stage, it was brought in and ordered to be read a third time on Monday next, MINE 4 AND MINERALS (CORNWALL) BILL. The SOLICITOR. GENERAL - obtained leave to bring in a bill for the limitation of actions and suits by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cornwall (Prince of Wales), in relation to real property, and for authorising certain leases of the Duchy to be made by him. The business on the paper having been gone through, the house adjourned %t nine o'clock.

Upwards of 600,000 workers are now employed in our cotton factories, and it has been estimated that at least 4,000,000 persons in this country are dependent upon the cotton trade for subsistence. A century ago Lancashire contained a population of only 300,000 persons ; it now numbers 2,300,000. In the same period of time this enormous increase exceeds that on any other equal surface of the globe, and is entirely owing to the development of the cotton trade. In 1856 there were in the United Kingdom 2,210 factories, running 28,000,000 spin dles and 299,000 looms, by 97,000 horse power. Since that period a considerable number of new mills have been erected, and extensive additions have been Rade to the spinning an I weaving ma chinery of those previously in existence. The amount of actual capital invested in the cotton trade of this kingdom is estimated to be between £60,000,000 and £70,000,000 sterling. The quantity of cotton imported into this country in 1859 was I,lBli million pounds' weight, the value of which at 6d. per lb. is equal to £30,000,000. Out of 2,829,110 bales of cotton imported into Great Britain, America has supplied us with 2,086,341, that is 5-7ths of the whole. In other words, out of every 71b. imported from all countries into Great Britain, America has supplied 51b., India has sent us about 500,000 bales, Egypt about 100,000, South America 124,000, and other countries between 8,000 and 9,000 bales. In 1859 the total value of the exports from Great Britain amounted to £130,513,185, of which £ 47,920,720 consisted of cotton goods and yarns. Thus, more than one-third, or £1 out of every £3 of our entire e t i x o p n o o r f t s c , o consists h i o e f h c f o o t r t omns. part Add otfolt2h millions s the pr opo morr e exported in the shape of mixed woollens, haber dashery, millinery, silks, apparel, and slops. Great Britain alone consumes annually 24 millions' worth of cotton goods. Two conclusions, therefore, may safely be drawn from the facts and figures now cited—first, that the interests of every cotton worker are bound up with a gigantic trade which keeps in motion an enormous mass of capital, and this capital; machinery, and labour depend for 5-7ths of its employment upon the Slave States of Ame rica for prosperity and continuance ; secondly, that if a war should at any time break out between England and America, a general insurrection take plaee among the slaves, disease sweep off those slaves by death, or the cotton crop fall short in quantity, whether from severe frosts, disease of the plant, or other possible causes—our mills would be stopped for want of cotton, employers would be ruined, and famine would stalk abroad among the hundreds and thousands of workpeoplo who are at present fortunately well employed. Calculate o the c o c t o t n o sequences n,and d f you m o r a ypicture yourself. t h l e m h a o g r i r n o e rs a of dearth such a calamity from the scenes you may possibly have , witnessed when the mills have only iun on "short time." Count up all th e tra d es that are kept going out of the wages of the working classes, indepen dent of builders, mechanics, engineers, colliers, Sze., employed by the millowners. Railways would cease to pay, and our ships would lie rotting in their ports, should a scarcit y of the raw material for manufacture overtake us.—Cotton Supply Re porter. THE HASTINGS.—The Lords of the Admiralty having decided on employing the Hastings as a drilling ship in the Mersey for the naval coast volunteers, her Majesty's screw ship Majestic, 80 guns, is to be sent to Liverpool in order that .he officers and crew of the Hastings may be transferred to her. • [ A DVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—lmpurity of the Blood. —To ensure health it is absolutely necessary that the fluids and solids of the human body should be kept free from those impurities which are continually getting admission into the system by erroneous living, unwholesome atmo sphere, or disordered stomach. The only safe and certain way to expel all impurities is to take Holloway's Pills, which have the power of cleansing the blood from all noxious mat ters, and at the same time removing any irregularities which their presence may have already produced in any organ. Hol loway's Pills expel all humours which taint and impoverish the blood, which they purify and invigorate, and give general tone to the awes, stomach, liver, lungs, heart, andkidiaeya, SUSPECTED MURDER IN GLASGOW. In our afternoon edition of yesterday we gave some particulars of what at first appeared to be most decidedly a case of murder, and which even now presents a most suspicious aspect of foul play, having led to the death of George Mitchell, a com positor on the Christian News, and residing at 2, Mathieson-street, Hutchesontown. On Monday evening, after receiving his wages and those of a fellow workman, amounting in all to £4 55., he met with a brother in trade, with whom he had about a couple of glasses of whiskey, and with whom he parted, none the worse for liquor, it is said, at a quarter before 9 o'clock, at the corner of Govan and Rose streets, Ilutchesontown, that being his direct way home. He was next seen (so far, at least, as our present information goes) between 12 and 1 o'clock in the morning, in a close in Malta-street; but how he hid spent the intervening time we have no means of knowing. At that time he was in company with a low woman, whose husband is a soldier in India, she having informed upon him as a deserter some years ago. Her name is Elizabeth Rogers,or Soddon, or Wallace. About half-past 2 o'clock two respect able women were passing along Malta-street, when their attention was drawn to the same close in which the deceased was seen with the woman some two hours before, by the moaning of a man. They at once called the policeman on the beat, and de ceased was found lying on his side in the middle of the close, with at least one severe wound upon his left temple, in a pool of blood, robbed of his money and watch, and insensible. At this moment his wife, who had been inquiring for her husband at the police-office, came forward, and to her horror recognised him of whom she was in search. He was at once carried home, where Dr. Stewart attended him, and did everything in his power to save the poor man's life ;.but his utmost efforts were unavail ing, he never rallied, and died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. As soon as the circumstance was re ported to the police, Mr. Robb, assistant superin tendent of the southern division, and his able offi cers, were on the qui vivo, and about 6 o'clock in the evening detectives Mackay and M'Coll found the woman they were in search of, in a state of drunkenness, in a spirit shop in Crown-street. They at once took her into custody, and on her way ti the police-station she dropped a watch, an empty purse, keys, a knife, and a number of papers, but no money. All these articles have been identified as belonging to the deceased. No doubt, therefore, the woman will be remitted to the sheriff for examina tion. The deceased, George Mitchell, was a native of Edinburgh, and about 38 years of age. He was educated in Heriot's Hospital, and subsequently served an apprenticeship as a compositor. At the letterprca3-printers' strike in Edinburgh, in 1847, he came to Glasgow, and has been employed on the Christian News sin'ie that time. He was a steady and industrious man, and for half-a-dozen years, up till recently, was a teetotaller. He has left a widow and four children.—Glasgow Morning Journal. COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL-FEB. 3. The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise during the past few days have been light. From foreign ports there have been received 810 qrs of wheat, too qrs barley, 2,502 qrs of beans, 1,296 qrs of peas, 2,470 Indian corn, and 727 sacks of flour. The exports in the same time comprise 669 qrs of wheat, 298 quarters of Indian corn, and 681 sacks dour. We had a small attendance of millers and dealers at our market this morning, and wheat met a moderate consump tive c errand at no improvement in our quotations of last Tuesday. Flour was rather in limited request, but not lower. Oats and oatmeal a slow sale, and both were un changed in price. Barley, beans, and peas were as last quoted. The amount of business transacted in. Indian corn was better at rather more money. WAKEFIELD-FEB. E. The supplies of wheat moderate, and there being a quiet market, the quotations were about the currencies of last Friday. The business done in fine barley was fair, and other kinds limited. Beans were as before. Oats and shelling in limited sale, at late prices.

White P ernams hay. been bought at 29s floating, but landing weights. 25,000 mats of Mauritius and cargoes of brown Pernams have also been taken at prices which have not transpired. There is not much doing in refined goods, as until something de finite is known about duties, grocers only purchase from hand to mouth. There is more inquiry for rum, although the sales have not been large.
