It was necessary that the Moorgate-street), were unanimously adopted, and thanks were voted Premier in person should bring forward the mea to the Board of Directors. sure as a virtual admission of our guilt, and public , apology to our justly offended Ally (!) This is the only point of view in which the matter can fairly be regarded, and we need not say how degrading and humiliating it is to this country and its inhabitants. Mr. ROEBUCK put the matter in the best and clearest light. He showed that there were two questions to be considered. First, does the law require any alteration ? and, secondly, Is this the right time and the right mode of making it ? Should either of these be answered in the negative, the bill should be unhesitatingly rejected, at its very first stage, and leave for its introduc tion, promptly and decisively refused. But both points were established beyond the possibility of doubt or difficulty. On the former we have had the high authority of Lords CAMPBELL and BROUGHAM, who spoke clearly and unequivocally on the point. It was shown that any conspiracy to do an illegal act, or even a legal act, by illegal means, was a heavy crime and misdemeanour which rendered the guilty party liable to severe punishment. If the offence be committed, the per petrator must endure the penalty, whatever it may be, if murder, one may be indicted as principal, the other as accessory before the fact. But should the attempt fail, the conspiracy or mere intention is still penal, although in a less degree ! A pro longed term of imprisonment must be endured by the would-be murderer, and where the charge is clearly established, that will unhesitatingly be inflicted. What, then, we ask, is the avowed object of the measure? It is said to be intended for prevention rather than punishment, to afford the utmost possible security to our neighbours against similar efforts. But the magnitude and stringency of the penalty has seldom deterred from crime. What has invariably proved most effectual has been a lighter punishment combined with a greater degree of certainty. Those who are prepared to brave the guillotine, to risk their lives on a desperate chance will not be deterred, because they may be sentenced to the hulks, or oven perpetual banishment from this country. Very little be nefit can result, even should the bill receive the legislative sanction, beyond the satisfaction afforded to the insolent sabreurs who seized with avidity the opportunity of venting their spleen against " perfidious Albion." Whether we ought " to eat dirt" at their dictation is another point on which there will not be much difference of opinion amongst true-hearted Englishmen, no matter what may be their political feelings or WM.

As to the second question—whether this is the right time, or the right mode of making the alto. ration—there can be still less doubt. We have already alluded to the insolent addresses which, by their insertion in the official jou rnal, were practically sanctioned and adopted by the Extrmton, himself. The tardy and inadequate apology offered, when the all but unanimous opinion of public journalists showed how deeply we felt the insult, can not be regarded as sufficient amends, while the truculent colonels re main uncensured, and the Moniteur unwarned. Even the despatch of Count WALEWSKI is couched in such peremptory terms that, with Ministers who entertained proper self-respect, it should de feat its own object. The only answer should be that given by a British Minister at the beginning of the present century—viz., that the English Government can never consent to new model their laws, or to change their constitution to gratify the wishes of any foreign power ; and that while it seeks not to interfere in the manner in which the people or territories of France should be go verned, it will not tolerate or sanction any inter ference with the internal affairs of the United Kingdom. The discussion will be resumed this evening, and we earnestly trust that the result will be such as to maintain the honour and prestige of Great Britain, and to prevent the imputation of yielding to threats, what we would not concede to justice. Louis NAPOLEON is, as we have re peatedly explained, the last person who should urge such demands, and he may be one of the first who would have bitter reason to regret any un worthy concession on our part.

Such pro positions would be carried by acclamation, and without a dissentient voice, not only in either branch of the Legislature, but in any assembly of Englishmen throughout the length and breadth of the land. But it certainly was not prepared to have the name of Lord CANNING smuggled in, and to have an approval of his policy snatched by a discreditable dodge. The modus operandi was not merely unfair, but it was eminently injudici ous. It introduced an element of dissention where unanimity was especially desirable, and detracted from the honour and value of the vote in favour of those on whom the nation was desirous of be stowing the highest honours. To Lord CANNING himself it was, under the circumstances, but a sinister compliment. Before it was carried, the Premier was obliged to declare that he did not consider the House bound by the vote to approve of Lord CANNING'S general policy. That will be a matter for future inquiry and consideration; and we must say it would have been far better in every point of view, if the expression of opinion had been reserved until that searching inquiry had taken place, and that calm and attentive consi deration been bestowed on the subject. It is but too notorious that the English inhabi tants of Calcutta, and of other parts of Bengal, who are untrammelled by official ties, have been greatly exasperated by his proceedings. He has forwardea an explanation, which may be regardei as his defence against the grave accusation pre ferred against him. But surely an opportunity should be afforded to those patties of substantiat ingtheirst a t a e m c c e u n s a t i a o u n s d , and f n r o o t m decidi ngth e p e rs o n n an e fl e x y pr te interested. Audi alteram partem, is a sound and wholesome principle; but while we would give Lord CANNING the full benefit thereof, we should also display similar fair play to his opponents. It was quite manifest that there was not the slightest occasion for prejudging the question, or introducing the name of Lord CANNING in any way into the discussion. The brilliant triumphs k"P LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 9, 1858. Lord PALMERSTON, in obedience to the orders of Count WALEWSIEI, last night introduced his promised bill for increasing the pains and penalties of the law against those who are charged with abusing the hospitality they have received, by being concerned in conspiracies to commit murder. He has very artfully concealed hia object, by making the new law applicable to all parties, whe ther Englishmen or foreigners ; and all offences, whether intended to be committed in this country or abroad. It would, therefore, seem to b e merely one of the promised measures of law re form, not produced by any extrinsic influence or coercion. But, unfortunately, the cloven foot is percep tible in every stage of the proceedings. It is palprble that the measure introduced with such 1 ingieceht haste--to . which the promised Reform :Bill and other questions in which the community at large felt deep interest were postponed _was brought forward at the special instance and re quest, if not at the dictation, of a foreign Govern ment. If—as Mr. KINGLAKE clearly pointed out—it were merely a legal reform intended to provide for a deficiency or shortcoming in the law of Vats land, why was it taken out of the hands of th e law officers of the Crown, the proper parties to bring it forward ? This view of the case is strengthened and corroborated by the fact that the Solicitor-General has notices on the books for mea urea under which it might properly be included. achieved by soldiers and sailors—the capture of Delhi—the relief of Lucknow, the numerous victories obtained by GREATHED, GRANT, SHOWERS, CHAMBERLAIN, EYRE, PEEL and others not only justified, but imperatively demanded such a tribute and testimonial of appro bation, and, we may add, of admiration. The withholding it would have been an unmerited slight, which would have greatly —we shall not say discouraged, for nothing would have dis couraged our brave troops—but which would have proved that their almost superhuman exer tions and indomitable courage had been duly appreciated by Parliament. But there was nothing of the kind with respect to Lord CANNING. So far as he was concerned the vote was altogether uncalled for and inopportune. The proper time would have been when the war was brought to a close, and the British supremacy completely restored throughout the whole of Hiudostan, or when, through failure of health or any other cause, he was compelled to resign his high position and re tire into private life; then his conduct might have been fairly and impartially canvassed, and the fiat of the British Parliament impressed on his exer tions. Then the expression of publio opinion would be unalloyed ; then it would be truly satisfactory. As it is, without in any degree improving his position, the step that has been so injudiciously taken materially deteriorates that which should ever be regarded as the highest reward of a public man, the object at which all should aim, although few could hope to attain so high an honour.

A change in the active management, now under the direction of Mr. W. H. Swanborough, with a new burlesque on the ever-popular "Lady of Lyons," with a second title of " Twopenny Pride and Penny-tence," by H. J. Byron, a new aspirant for burlesque honobrs, is drawing an improved amount, of business. The piece itself is replete with broad fun and exAggeration, sa much relished by the Strand audience in general. The hero and heroine are ably supported by Mr. Gomersal and Miss Victor, who introduce numerous songs, duets, dances, &c., whilst the Beauseant, a broad specimen of the two types of stage villains peculiar to the Vic., and in a more subdued style at the West-end, is well sup ported by Mr. W. H. S wanborough. The other parts are played by the old favourites, Messrs. Howard, Bolton, Dean, Miss Tempest, &c. C on ti nuous l aug h ter and loud applause, with a general call at the end, prove that the audience are satisfied to their hearts' content. The burlesque is preceded by a two ant COllllO drama, "False Conclusions," and a farce, " 25, John-street, Adelphi," in both of which Mr. Van Buren supports the principal parts with great ability, proving in himself that the race of gentlemanly actors is not quite extinct. Miss Portman and Miss Victor both deserve mention in connection with these two pieces, Several novelties are promised, amongst the rest an adaptation of Dickens' last Christmas work. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was preen .ast evening at the debates in the House of Lords. The Duchess of Marlborough has arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Blenheim Palace.

CONCERT.—SOIIERS CHAPEL ORGAN FUND.—A con c.rt was given in the Music-hall, Store-street, on Mon• day evening, in behalf of the above fund. Tile hall was filled to overflowing, and the concert was highly success ful. Mr. Marcellus Higgs, well known to the musical world ; and John Allison, Esq., honorary organist of the chapel, presided at the pianoforte ; and a number of the members of the Sacred Harmonic Society lent their valuable assistance on the occasion. The programme consisted of two per, sacred and secular. The first part was composed of selections from the oratorios— solos, duets, and choruses. "Hannah's Prayer'' (from Eli) was delivered by Miss Banks with charming sweet ness and pathos, and received an unanimous encore. Master Williams, pupil of Mr. Higgs, sang the air, "But thou did'st not leave" (from the Mesliala), with much taste and grace. Sacred songs were also sung by Messrs. Hodson and Carer in a highly cre itable manner. The choruses were well rendered ; in particular, Beethoven's grand "Hallelujah" (from the Mount of Olives), the introduction given with much point anti decision by Messrs. Higgs and Allison. The second part consisted of glees, part songs, and solo , . Miss Banta sang with great beauty the songs, " Tell me my heart," ' and "Home, sweet home," both of which were rapturously rademanded. Nelson's ballad of "Madeline" was sung by Mr. Davis with remarkable effect, his clear and flexible voice having ample scope for display ; the song was loudly called for three times.

The Danish Government has sent to the Ger manic Diet a reply to the complaints of Lauenburg. Hanover proposes to invite Denmark to withdraw the bills submitted to the Supreme Council. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. A rumour which has for some time prevailed that the King of Prussia will soon take up his residence at Cannes appears to be confirmed by accounts from Berlin. Two officers of the King's household are now in Paris buying furnittre and decorations for his residence there. The appointment of General Espinasse is said to have been very suddenly resolved upon ; at least, it was kept a profound secret till the last moment, and we may well believe that the Ministers them selves, of whom General Espinasse is now the col league, suspected it as little as the public, and that they have been taken as much by surprise. It was at a dinner given by the General to a number of general officers yesterday that the fact was first made known. He was sent for by the Emperor at 4 o'clock. The audience was long, and the guests were kept waiting considerably beyond the hour of dinner. Public curiosity had been much excited as to the successor of M. Billault. It was the chief topic of conversation with the guests, and when the General made his appearance among them it was. concluded that he knew the solution, though none imagined that he was personally interested in it. He was of course asked the news, and he then and there announced that he, General Espinasse, was the successor of M. Billault ! The announcement was at first received with incredulity, and, when there no longer appeared any doubt, with great surprise. A personage of high military rank, in deed among the highest, stated yesterday afternoon as positive that M. de Persigny was to be the new Minister. Apparently he was not in the secret. It is stated that the French Government is deter mined to take, if necessary, a decided part in the affairs of the extreme East, and that the plan of a❑ expedition on a large scale is in contemplation. It is even arranged that the French troops shall pass through Egypt, and that Admiral Rigault do Genouilly shall meet them at Suez with his fleet. But befure this plan is carried into execution the Emperor will wait for the capture of Canton, and the despatches from Baron Gros as to the state of affairs. The Pays publishes news from Persia to the 25th of December. At that date the lion. Mr. Murray, British Minister was seriously ill at Teheran. tie was suffering trom chronic dysen tery, and his physicians had recoiximend.-d him to quit the country as soon as ho could bear the fatigue of travelling.

Art. 1 and 2, which ratify the royal ordonnance temporarily suspending that l.aw, wen 3 adopted after a short debate. The Cuaniber then took into consideration the follow ing resolution proposed by the committee The Chamber of Nobles wishes to make its reserves in older that the idea may not be deduced from the approbation given to the ordonnance, that such approbation removes the serious objections which can be brought forward against the definitive aboli tion of the usury laws. An amendment for erasing the word definitive' was proposed, which was adopted, as was the resolution so amended, and the bill was afterwards passed in its ensemble." The Guinan Journal of Frankfort says : "It has been alleged that Prussia intended to pi opose to the Germanic Diet to demand from Dan mark its reply relative to the duchies within a given time. This assertion is unfounded, for we learn that Prussia is entirely agreed with the other federal governments in thinking that the Diet ought for the present t o stand to the resolutions proposed by the committee, seeing that no sufficient motive exists for adopting any other. In fact, in converting the propositlon of the committee into a resolution, the Diet would for the first time for mally manifest the wishes of the Confederation ; and ulterior resol u ti ons cannot be ta k en unt il th ese wishes shall hav e b een notified to D enm trk, and the latter shall have returned same reply to them." DENMARK A letter from Copenh an of the 3d gives som e account of the discussion in the Supreme Council , on the proposition of the six deputies of Holstein, , already mentioned. It says •-- "The debate on the second reading of the Holstein proposition to the effect that the labours of the sesiion should be confined to the most urgent and administrative and financial measures commenced yesterday. The proposition was d e f ended by M. Kirchoff an d M . R e nek, on the ground th at the pending negotiations with Ger many relati e to th e Duchies of Holstein an d L a uenburg rendered it ne cessary, and they alleged t h at som e of the measures brought f orward by t h e g overnment were not eif pressing cuportance. In the sitti n g of this day the deb a t e was continued. Ode of th e s ; x deputies demanded th a t th e proposition should b e re f err ed to a umnrnittee, but o n l y three mem b er s supportei him. MM. Mourier, D av i t, and do Sc h ee l e spoke against the proposition, and the President of the Council declared that if the Co unc il were to adopt it he would commit suicide. He added that Denmark was not isolated. On a division, tho proposition was rejected by 41 votes to 6." SPAIN. The Madrid juurna,ls of the 3d have arrived. On the previ ous d ay, b e i ng th e anniversary of the Queen's escape from assa ssination, her Majesty went to th e church of Atocha to at tend a thanks g i v i ng serv i ce. The Cabinet had sanctioned the project of erecting a statute to the late M. de Mendizabal. The authorities of the city had seized in a house near the palace, 500 re- VolutieuarY PrlNla/wgons, 400 muskets, some swords, and a quantity of cartridges. The Con gress was continuing the debate on the address, Some of the journals complain that it had given rise to unseemly squabbles between certain mem bers. In the Senate, it was expected that a vio lent attack would be made on General de la Con cha's administration of Cuba. It was believed that a bill would be presented to the Cortes, autho rising the province of Navarre to execute, at its own expense, a railway uniting the French and Spanish lines. MONEY MAR KET A TD COMMERCIAL INTELLICiENO2, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the past few days has been quiet, and but little variation can be noted in the values of most of the leading staples. For sugar there has been a very limited inquiry, but the finer descrip tions remain firm while the inferior and low kinds are in favour of purchasers. Tea has been very quiet, no business of any importance baying been reported, as dealers and speculators are daily ex pecting the telegraphic advices from China. For good descriptions of Plantation Ceylon coffee there is still a fair inquiry for home con sumption, and steady prices have been realised. Rice has been in fair demand, and notwithstanding tho heaviness in the Corn Market, fell prices are realised for the better qualities. Rum and spices have been steady, and in fruit on:y a limited busi ness has been reported, chiefly in old currants for home use. There have been very few inquiries for saltpetre, and the market has declined to a slight extent. Tallow has been exceedingly flat, but has again slightly improved. P. Y.C. is now quoted 525. 525. 3d., spot, March, 525. ; April to June delivery, 51s. 6d. per cwt. On the continent money is also much easier, and at Berlin it is stated that accommodation can be obtained at one per cent, under the Bank's quota tions. The bullion in the Bank of France is accu mulating, and the measure adopted on Saturday is soon likely to be followed by another similar movement. At Hamburg the rates are also very low, namely, about 11 to 2 pa. cent. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, and prices cf all descriptions have ad vanced. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. In the Railway Share Market there was a fair amount of business trans acted, but values slightly declined. About 250,000/. iu gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The Northumberland has arrived from Mel bourne, with 46,881 ounces of gold, valued al 187,5241. In Lombard-street the inquiry for discount ac commodation still continues very quiet, and the tendency in the quotations is in the direction of increased ease. Good commercial bills are readily negotiated by tho discount firms at 2k to 21 per cent., and the supply of unemployed capital has further augmented. The market for English Securities has been de cidedly heavy all the morning, although the varia tion in prices is limited, and the Funds are within g per cent. of the highest point recently attained. It may be said that politics now exercise paramount influence upon values, and despite the increased easiness in the money market, the naturo of the debates and the uncertainty felt with respect to their probable issue, not only arrest the upward tendency, but have caused a certain degree of depression. Consols have been 951 '4 for money, and 957 96 for account. They are now 05'1 96, and 96 96 respectively, be ing firmer. The New 3 per Cents, are 9t 961, and the Reduced 96 961 ; Bank Stock is 2251- 227, and India ditto 218. Exchequer Bills are 30s. to 325. premium, and the Bonds 100,1- In the Foreign Stock Market a moderate busi ness was transacted, and prices remain without any particular alteration. Turkish 6 per Cknts. are 00i ; and the 4 per Cents., 1032 to 104. Spanish 3 per Cents. have improved to 104 104 ; ditto Passive to Wi ; Russian 5 per Cents. to 1121 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. to 1031; Portuguese 3 par Cents, to 451 ; and Dutch 2i per Cents. to 654 ; Buenos Ayres t per Cents. aro 991 ; Peru vian 41- per Cents, 80 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55g ; and Sardinian 5 per Cent,?., 891 901. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 516; Mexican, 20g 20', 7 1 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 79 81; ditto 3 per cents., 54 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 441 451 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 111 113 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 99 100; Spanish 3 per Cents., 431 44k!; Ditto Deferred, 26 261. In the Railway Share Market today the deal ings have been very limited, and prices have re ceded about to per cent. Lancashire and York shire, North-Western, South-Western, Midland and. North-Eastern (Berwick), declined 5s ; East Lancashire and Brighton, 10s. ; and Caledonian, Eastern Counties and South-Eastern, 1/. The Foreign and Colonial lines are very quiet, and prices are unaltered to any extent. Great Luxembourg have declined f, and Riga and Duna burg f. Mining Shares are quite neglected, and prices are unaltered. For Joint Stock Bank Shares there was some enquiry, and a slight improvement may be quoted. Bank of Australasia have advanced 10s. ; London Chartered of Australia ss. ; London and Westmin. ter 15s. ; Oriental Bank 10s. British North American 'declined 10s., and Union of Australia 10s, In the Miscellaneous Market Eastern Steam. advanced 55., and Peninsular and Oriental Steam ss. MIME FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The rumourof a coming Russihn loan is being revived. It is believed that Russia would be very glad to borrow ; but how can she do so in the present position of the Grand Russian Railways Company ? THE NEW NATIONAL GALLERY.—The decision of the Royal Commissioners against the removal of the National Gallery from Trafalgar-square is already known to the public. The Lords of the Treasury thereupon re quested the Commissioners of %%Turks to provide an ek ti mate of the expense of enlarging the present gallery, as proposed by the majority of the commission. Mr. Hunt, the surveyor, estimated the total expense at 500,0001., which includes the reinstatement of the barracks, and the workhouse buildings (to be removed for the enlarge. silent of the gallery), the reinstatement of the baths and lavatories, the erection of a suitable building for the Royal Academy, and the construction of a building for the National Gallery upon the enlarged site, 100 I.Q 20i 100 100 L RAILWAYS.
