triets, ordered prosecutions before the ordinary tribunals, and the country was restored to a state of tranquillity. Now, with regard to the outrages in Ireland, those the Noble Lord had mentioned to them were by nn means of an unusual or extra ordinary nature. In the year 1832, being then in office, he had to consider the propriety of introducing a very severe Co ercion Bill for Ireland ; but he confessed that he did not agree with all the measures relating to Ireland, which were agreed to by the then Government. Indeed, at one time, he was on the point of retiring from office, but finding that his late lamented Friend ( Earl Spencer) had come to the conclusion that remedial and conciliatory measures were not sufficient to meet the circumstances of the day, he consented to remain one of the Government. Accordingly a very harsh measure was introduced for the protection of life and property in Ireland, and for getting rid of the prevalent disturbances, amounting almost tea civil war, which had broke out in that country, upon the subject of the tithes. Murders and assassinations were then daily taking place, and Parlia anent sanctioned the passing of the Bill ; but in the year 1834 that measure was suspended, and in 1835 a mitigated measure was introd uce d , w hi c h met with the general appro bation of the House—indeed it scarcely met with any oppesit ion ; but he must state that in the previous year of 183.3 his Noble Friend Lord Althorp introduced several measures of conciliation. He introduced a measure for the abolitisn of Church tests—a mea sure for the improvement of juries —a mea-tire for assimilating the corporations of Ireland—and, in 18:35, Government de clared their intention of applying principles to Ireland which were more congen;al to the feelings and affections of the great body of the people. The consequence was, confidence was re- Bposed in the Ministry, and th e p owers o f a m i t i eate d C oerc i on ill were intrusted in their hands. That confidence, he be lieved, was not violated, for, from a communication which lie had received from his Noble Friend the Marquis of Normanby he found that the Bill was never put into 4 peration. lie had asked his Noble Friend whether the knowledse of such a power being in th e h an d s o f t h e G overnment had ha d t h e e ff ec t of d - ; terrine crime and his Noble F r i en d had t o ld bins that be though t e it had not, fo r th e ex i stence o f t h e power was 30011 forgotten in r Ireland. Th e Bill cont i nue d i n f orce f ro m B o r to 1840, when G overnment d eterm i ne d i t s h ou ld not be continued.l,'chaower p It was said with regar d to thi s B i ll, that placing such as that whi c h th e presen t Bill gave in the hands of the Go vernment, would have the effect of preventing crime, but if th e Bill posse sse d an y a dv a ntage of this stw . t, it was lost b y th e delay which had taken place. Now, wi . th regard to th e state of crime i n I re land, he thought in comparing crime with eri.ne, it was well to take the whole crime of Ireland and compare one year with another. The number of homicides in ite32, before the introduction of what was called the Coercion Bill, was 9 4 0 i n 1837, 230 ; in 1840, 125; and in 1442, two years after the Act had expired. ISO. The number of charges for tiring houses in 1832 was 328; in 1837, 91 ; in 1812, 74 ; in 1845, 78. The number relating to the crime of attacking houses was, in 1832, 723 ; in 1837, 606 ; in 1840, 209 ; in 1842, 337 ; in 1845, 482. The conspiracies to mu r der were , i n 1842, 24 ; in 1845, 8. With regard to assaults with intent to murder, in 11542, 3 ; in 1845, 9 . He thought it was plain from this, that there had been no very great increase in crime in Ireland between the years 1842 and 1845 ; hut the Bight Hon Bart. the Secretary for the Home Department men tioned five counties where he said there had been a great in crease in crime during the past year, as compared with former Csears. Now the night Hon. Bart. the First Minister of the rown made as admission on this part of the subject which told greatly asaainst, the Bill. The Right lion. Gent. stated thrt crime had increased in Tipperary, Limerick, Clare, and Roscommen ; but with regard to Leitrim, it had decreased. The total number of crimes being in 1845. 804 ; and for the first five months in 1846, only 106. The Right Honourable Baronet attributed this falling off to increased vigilance of the constabulary force, and the stipendiary magistrates, and to the fact that an overwhelm ing military force was stationed in that country. Why, here was a complete answer to the whole case of the Government, an answer which fully showed that a remedy could be found in the existing and ordinary law of the country.—(Hear, hear.) But, he said, he had inquired into the operation of this law, had made inquiries amongst persons familiar with its opera tion, and he had asked in what manner this law, when a district was peoclaimed, was put in force in any county of Ire land. He was told that constables took many persons who were out at night, that these persons were put upon their trial, that their excuse was not taken, and their frisrels had no weight as witnesses. If these persona had previously borne a good charact r, they were not subjected to punishment, but if they belong ed to a susp ec t e d c l ass, sentence of imprisonment was passed upon them. But then it might have been trans portation. The House would observe what a discretion they allowed.—( Hear. hear.) In one of the cases which he had mentioned, the nffene.e as created by law, was one of the most ordinary acts of men—the offence was nothing more than tra relling on the Queen's highway; yet for this effcnce a n an might be brought into the presence of a judge and jury, and if circumstances appeared suspicious, sentence of transportation might be passed upon him. He said that to such a measure Parliament would rightly refuse to give its sanction.—( Hear, hear.) But there were other considerations in connexion with this Bill which very much demanded the attention of the House. Whenever Bills of this kind were brought before the House, it had been always thought right to con sider what were the grievances of Ireland, and in what manner these grievances might have been the cause of these offences.—( Hear, hear. 1 The Noble Lord, the late Secretary for Ireland (Earl St. Germans), in proposing this Bill, denied that the majority of these offences were eon .fleeted with agrarian considerations. But he (Lord John Russell) after having consulted all the evidence laid before the House, and the report made by Lord Devon's Commission, was convinced that the majority of these outrages were agrarian, and connected with land, arising out of the social habits of the people in reference to land. The Noble Lord then quoted the opinions of Mr. Barrington, Major Shaw Kennedy, and Cap tain Warburton, that the majority of the outrages in Ireland were agrarian. Here then, he said, were magistrates and farmers, and who had been so in that country for many years, who had given it as their opinion that alterations of the farms affected the existence, and brought on starvation upon the pea santry ; and, therefore, he considered that eviction from land was the cause of the outrages in Ireland. He said then, that on these grounds, if it was right to iutroduce meteurea of re pression beyond the ordinary powers of the law, it would have been right, at the same time, to introduce other measures, by which the means of existence would have been in creased, anti brought within the reach of the peasant. Ile knew that the Noble Lord ( Earl of Lincoln) had intro duced measures of an important character, within these three 'lays, but he thought that there measures ought to have been introduced at the same time with this measure. After hearing only the Noble Lord's annunciation of the Bill, it might, per haps, be difficult to say whether they would be fit for the pur ose. A no th er measure, it was true, had been proposed for Ireland by an lion. Gentleman (Mr. Poulet Scrope), but he <Lord J. Russell) confessed that he did not expect that measure would remedy the ills of Ireland, but instead would, tend to lix them deeper in their place. Another measure proposed for the amelioration of Ireland was the cultivation of waste lands. He thought that the cultivation of waste and outlying lands would certainly abate the competition for land, and would in so much tend to abate the crimes which were being committed. Now, he had already stated, in giving his consent to the second reading of this Bill, that he had oh jections to it. He objected to that clause which made it cri minal for a man to be out between sunset and sunrise. But if this clause were taken out of the Bill, he slid not see hut that it would cease to exist—it would cease to be a Coercion Bill for Ireland. 'there was an Act passed by the ether House of Parliament, imposing fines nn certain classes of the people ; and the Whitt:boy? Act contained the same clauses. Some such clauses might perhaps have been intro duced into this Bill, but certainly not such as lie had seers in the Act passed by the other House of Parliament. If they should proceed to make the people pay for the out- , rages done in the country, if they set about collecting in the small sums of money for such a purpose, they would most likely raise such an opposition that they would require to send out the military to exact the two-pences and three-pences from the people, to pay for the outrages that had burst out. But he might be asked, why, if he objected to the Bill, he bad con sented to the first reading. He said, if he had stated his ob jections to the Rill, and said that he would rot consent to the first reading;of the Bill, it would have been said that it was a most violent . opposition, that he should not allow a Bill to conic into that House for the protection of life in Ireland. No, he hail not done so, but he had stated his objections to the Bill—ohjectissue which went to the foun dation of the Bill. On the first day when it was fixed to come on with the orders of the day, he had stated that he would oppose it. Other grounds of opposition had been taken. It was said by the Noble Lord (Lord G. Bentinck) en a former night, and it had been reiterated by an Hon. Gen tleman to-night, that they had no confidence in the Govern vernment, and could not give their support to an unconstitu tional measure. This was a Parliamentary ground for op position. But, he confessed that, had he thounht this Bill calculated to meet the necessities of the case, and that these ne cessities required such a Bill, he had no want of confidence in her Majesty's Ministers and in their own measures, in re spect to Ireland, and therefore he would not have opposed it. lie said it would be no novelty if he had no confidence in her Majesty's Government ; for several years he had thought for himself, and bad brought out his own independent mea sures. The practical working of the policy which had been employed on either side showed results, and were practical commentaries, proving that her Majesty's Government were mistaken, and they were right.—( Cheers, and counter cheers.) These results showed that the course which they had pur sued and the Government had now partly adopted was - sitt i notwithstandin g what hail been said of that course her Majesty's present :Minister s were out of o ffi ce.

Member f or N ewcast l e spoke of measures, which he said, he ( Loed John Russell) was happy to promote. fie thought he _was .mistaken as to the character of the measures. To preserve the institutions of the country, the best course to pursue was to reform. The lion. Gentleman thought it rash that Manchester, Leeds, and all the great towne, should be represented in that House—that it was a serious innovation. Was it so? Would it not have been better to have carried these measures? Would it not be more ceuservative if, instead of carrying this Bill, they turned serious attention to the grievanees of Ireland—the social grievances; to consider, by some such measure as cultivating the wastes and_ securing the lives and property of the people ? If thi s was_ the case, then was not always the most conservative to re'urt to measures of t oercion, and delay measures of reforin. lie wished to preserve the lust ii4itions oft he country, and he should wish to cleanse thetri in some degree from their abuses. With regard to Ireland, the Noble Lord, the Member for Lynn, emit( n e t vote for the present me e, because he had no confidence in her Majesty's at inigers. Soule Hon. Alembers on the ether lurid ceuld vote for the measure, bovatise they had au ovuwiielming; confidence in the commercial policy of the .Minister. What "as the state e I the case ? There was a large party in Ireland who thought nothing but a native Par liament could provide proper measures for the redress of their grievances —a party which excited to violence, looks to violence,. as its means, and separation as its end. If, said the Noble Lord, you pass this Bill because it was for the benefit of Ireland, and that you considered a ease was made out for the measure, you can say to Ireland, we have endea voured to legislate according to our consciences, but if you say any thing else tothein—if you say we thought it a bad measure, nevertheless we allowed it to pass because there were measures more for the benefit of England, going along with it. What an effect will this have upon the people of Ireland. They will say*" You have oppressed us by your laws to much an extent that if we are found looking after a stray cow, or visiting an afflicted parent a few miles off, after the hour of sunset, we are liable to punishment." And you who vote for this measure be 90aumearges catutercial attar* go Alton wits it, will say to them, you are punished, not for the security of life, but because other Government measures were passing through Parliament at the same time ; and for the sake of these measures it is that these restrictions are placed upon you. In answer to this, the people of Ireland will turn round and, in a tone of triumph, exclaim, " Tell us, is the Parliament com posed of English and of Scotch Members fit to legislate for Ireland ?" "ill they (continued the Noble Lord) not seek for a domestic Legislature? Will they not use their utmost endeavours to obtain a repeal of the union? What answer would there be to such an appeal ? The unanimous voice of a generous country would join in the declaration, that we have not justice, that we are determined to obtain justice, and, as it is now proved to us that that justice is not to be obtained from an English Parliament, we are determined to have a Legislature which will represent our feelings and our interests. a Beware (said the Noble Lord) in giving such arguments n to s these, if you wish, as I do most heartily, to maintaianntz bles sing the union, and make it a source of happiness s st in re g e to gt h t the people the tieroi of lrelan d , kindness a well and goodas a fee sourcefeeling o t f o increased Ireland, beware, lest you in any way thieDgolinknowhich t hind the two countries.— ( Hear, we h ak a e r n ) s . ° f i e , i r e apart of Ir t e h l e and governorsbelieve and tha t th y e o g n ov h e a r e e n e e governed.

DISRAELI—If the Noble Lord had felt keenly the unjust attack of those who supplanted him in power, the Noble Lord had at least this consolation—he had received a noble revenge.--( Cheers.) And he was sure that each time his pupils rose before hint, before that red box—(Laughter)—to whose authority they succeeded, the Noble Lord, he was sure, must have felt, although they had not yet received that expression of Ppontaneous feeling which his generous sympathising character expected— ( Cheers)—the Noble Lord must have been receiving from those Right Hon. Gentlemen and Noble Lords opposite ample compensation for the injustice which he is nationally and universally acknow ledged to have suffered from their hands.—( Cheers.) The Noble Lord had treated them that night with the eloquence that was habitual to him whenever he touched upon the affairs of Ireland. He (Mr. Disraeli) was one of those who regretted, and would not refrain from the expression of his regret, that the fate of Ministers should be supposed to de pend, after all that had occurred this session, upon an Irish subject. It was not, however, to any Honourable Gentle man who sat on the benches near him that this circum stance had occurred. They had shown themselves ready upon the earliest occasion to discuss the question ; and he thought that whatever might have been the policy of the Go vernment upon other questions—however irritating he might say that it had been to the outraged feelings of many Hon. Members upon that side of the House, still he thought that, from the first and earliest occasion, they had been ready to dis cuss the matter. It was impossible for the House to forget the circumstances under which this measure hail been brought forward. It was an unconstitutional measure, framed for a country which required to be treated with consideration and delicacy. lie would remind the House of the manner in which the subject was first broeght before their considera tion. The measure was then brought bef..re the consideration of lion. Members—it was recommended to them on account of its temporary character—on account of the exigen cies which called it into being, and then studiouslyconcealed from their notice till it was at length almost forgotten. He had no wish to speak of h s own feelings upon the subject more than was actually necessary, in order to defend his individual vote which he should give upon this measure. If he saw the present measure recommended by Irish Members, or a majority upon whatever side of the House they might sit, be should come to the consideration of the question with feelings differen t to those which he should har e embraced when he found all the Irish Members denouncing the measure as futile.—( Hear.) This was not the first measure of the sort which had been forced upon Ireland. He was not, however, prepared to say that occasions might not yet arrive when extraordinary powers would be required by the Legislature of the United Kingdom. If it be true with reference to the state of Ireland—as he be lieved it was admitted to be true by all parties with reference to the :tate of England, namely, that while they had been dis cussing the principal and political measures of England—the Constitution of the people of Ireland had been neglected. He would not weary the House with the memoranda which he could in a moment give to them. This Coercion Bill was pro posed on the 22d of January ; it was ordered to be printed on the loth of March ; it was read a first time on the Ist of May, and ordered to be read a second time in June. This was the temporary measure which the Government seemed to make eternal. Let them look at the early adjournments of the House while this measure was under discussion, and they would see the importance attached to this measure. On the 20th of April there was no House, and on other days other measures were taken before the Coercion Bill, although it was first on the order of the day. It was evident that there had not been an earnest, even if there were a serious, intention on the part of Government to bring forward this measure. He could call the statistics in this measure the statistics of shuffling.—(Hear, hear.) It was net his intention to enter into the merits of the Bill itself, although he could point out many details • but one circumstance was very remarkable, v i z ., th a t the Bill of her Majesty's Ministers did not apply-4 Hear, hear)—to the dis turbances which had been brought forward by the Secretary for the Home Department. It was very satisfactory to find at the I present moment that there were any circumstances of a kindly feeling in Ireland, even in the wilds of Munster, though it was only with regard to the introduction of Indian maize. It was unfortunate that this intelligence, which was communicated through a very influential organ—which was generally favour able to her Majesty's Ministers,although not personally favourable to her Majesty's Ministers themselves—he meant the Times, was at the same time accompanied by a report in the same journal of a mutiny in Limerick gaol in consequence of the substitution of Indian Maize for their ordinary food.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) There never was any individual who had acted more fairly to any Government than the Noble Lord near him (Lord G. lientinek). There never was any indivi dual who had given a more full and fair intimation of the course which he and his friends intended to pursue than the Noble Lord, and he could not therefore admit that any argu ment against the consistency of the Noble Lord was proved, for no person could deny that the Noble Lord had fulfilled his engagement in a just and complete spirit. He was not pre pared to admit that the accusation brought forward against the Nob le Lord with regard to the Factory Bill was at all better founded. Two years age, when that measure was brought for ward, the Noble Lord had voted for the Government measure, but did that preclude the Noble Lord from voting for the mea sure of another after that lapse of time? This was called by her Majesty's Government inconsistency.—(Laughter.) The Right Hon. Gentleman said—l have changed nay policy, but are you, the Member for Lynn, the person to reproach me ? You, who changed on a Coercion Bill—who voted for a first reading, when you slid not intend to vote for a second; and who have changed your opinion on the Factory Bill. 'rhe Noble Lord had violated no confidence, nor betrayed any trust.—(Hear, hear.) It could not be said that the Noble Lord got into Parliament by promising to vote differently for the Factory Bill. It could not be said that the Noble Lord, with practised duplicity, supplanted a candidate on the bust inge, by professing opinions, which he meant to oppose when he got into Parliament.—( Hear, hear.) The N o bl e L ord had not turned the Nobl e L or d (the Member for London) and his Friends out of offitte, for attempting to carry a measure, which they were now themselves promoting.—( Hear, hear.) This was the charge they brought ageing her Majesty's Ministers. They were not to be met by paltry charges, when they opposed such a Bill as the present one—a great national Bill, and not a mere subject of quarrel between parties and Members of Parliament. He would give an instance from the speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman of the con spiracy practising against the Parliament of England, and if he or any of his friends could explain them, he would not only be glad, but surprised. It was used when the Right Hon. Gentleman was vindicating himself and his principles, in that high-flying tone which he so well knew how to assume when occasion required—(Laughter.) He wanted that an• swered—he asked it before, he asked it again and again, and the Right Hon. Gentleman called it bandying personality.— ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) But a few weeks afterwards, how ever, the Right Hon. Gentleman informed the House that he was going to explain the whole circumstance. He (Mr. Dipraeli) was sitting opeosite to him, a n d was li sten i ng atten tively to e ver y syllable that fell from his lips—he could have said nothing that could have escaped his observation. Twice he. told them, and dazzled the eyes and ears of all, that he was about to give an explanation. Instead, however, of doing so he read some confidential communication, which bad no refe rence to the subject in question. That explanation he had never given, and that they required.—( Hear, and cheers.) Why he (Mr. Disraeli) reminded the House of this was in consequence of the observation made a few nights ago at the conclusion of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech, when he sa id that " the accusation of his (Sir R. Peel) wishing to oust the Noble Lord (J. Russell) from settling that question, was the foulest calumny which the most vindictive imagination ev er dictated to a virulent tongue."—(Tremendous cheers.) H e who described this as the most vindictive calumny, was d es cribing the conduct which he himself practised.—( Great c h e ering.) He ventured to allude to this, in order to explai n t h e attack which h e m a d e on t h e Noble Lord with regard to hi s political consistency.—( Cheers ) As for consistency he (Mr. Disraeli) thought that the Noble Lord might be ready at a ny time to put it against that of the Right Hon. Gentle men.—(Tremendous cheers.) But he (Mr. Disraeli) did not wish the constitutional principles of the count ry to be left to political squabbles.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman, in order to put an end to the am bition of the Noble Lord, made another attack upon him. He said that the Noble Lord had assumed a license in debate which exceeded its legitimate bounds ; and the Secretary-at- War also admonished the Nobl e L or d, and reminded the House that they had been addressed by him in language which had never been used to them before, and which, he trusted, would never be used to them again. It appeared that the Noble Lard used strorg language, and his having addressed them as Janissaries had excited their strong indignation. He (Mr. ?iszaeli) saw that the Speaker did not interfere on that occa ri.e4anslthwatteetunehnetisianwc the on. men, the most eminent of their tim e , had l ' ho "ad stung language in that House, he was not d ile i hailco t appear to knowtheils Gentleman did not interfere. gentleman ofthis new generation B.. eui t t e ed z by t hi seei N y ob .ra le cheau L uit o h r uee d di take the liberty, however tstoy e of their time.

It was very possible for Gentlemen to treat with derision the memory of a great man ; but he confessed that whatever might be his feelings on the conduct of any individual who had been a dis tinguished citizen in this country, and particularly an illustious Member of that Senate—if he had left them for ever he could not have received an allusion to the subjeet with the miserable derision which he had just experienced.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) It seemed that after his Noble Friend the other night had used that language, which though Parliamentary, and authorised by the greatest authorities, appeared to astonish their minds, and to astound the Secretary -at-War, being im pelled by no common warmth, made another allusion which touched a secret sore. The Noble Lord the Member for Lynn —he said so in his presence because he knew him to be superior to any petty offence on the subject—the Noble Member for Lynn, if he had any characteristic more than another, it was the total iti7/011C9 913/19Ctiti9U and proem, The Noble THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY r MORNING, JUNE 16, 1846. the which position he o lae occupied. d ei h e a d d never .He for ced hr h u i s m t s a e g lf ai t n h s e t re hi i s nt w o il t l he int p which he occupied. He had always said that he had not much skill—that he was not a statesman, and asked the m w h y he could not get somebody else—that he was bred a soldier and never aspired to more than the reputation of being a high spirited man and a gentleman. That was the character of the Noble Lord, and he believed that he had obtained his limited wish. He did not know his own powers—he (Mr. Disraeli) thought he had great abilities. There were dosens of such men, but the fact was that the Noble Lord had no am bition. Any one that knew him intimately, knew that the idea of raising himself with the State bad never entered into his head.—( Hear, hear.) It was once the happiness of the Noble Lord, and it was still his pride, to have filled the humblest station of the political career near a great Minister ; and from that period he had not wished to occupy any office however exalted, and even the Right Honourable Ba ronet admitted, that as regarded the Noble Lord, he was a consistent, but a pure and disinterested supporter. The Noble Lord might have expressed himself with unusual warmth and vigour, for, without any pretention to oratory, he spoke from the heart. He was not sure that the racy vigour of his brave honesty was not worth all the modern eloquence, which he heard often delivered with all that pompons plausibility, and solemn cadence—with all that damnable iteration of still sophistry and common-place which served in the place of elo quence.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Noble Lord, speaking with earnestness, and remembering his position—the only position in public life he ever aspired to—the humble position which a political career could offer to a great Minister and bound to him by the nearest and dearest ties, the Noble Lord said the Right Hnn. Gentleman had hunted to death Mr. Canning. The Noble Lord said that, in 1829 the Right Hon. Gentleman admitted, or rather had announced, that in 1825 he had informed Lord Liverpool what was his opinion with regard to the Catholic question. He (the Right Hon. Gentleman) had said it was no longer possible to resist their claims, and even if they could only be settled by his leaving office ; he was prepared to make that sacrifice to himself. The Noble Lord, remembering the conduct of that Right Hon. Gentleman, in 1827, to Mr. Can ning, and remembering the effect of the conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman on the career and probably on the life of that statesman, and taking the position laid down by the Right Honourable Gentleman himself that it was base in a Minister to conceal his opinion, asked him how it was in 1825, when he changed his opinion on the Catholic question in the year 1827, having announced that change at so late a period after he had formed his opinions. The reason of that change was given by the explanation with regard to the cause of severance with Mr. Canning, and never would be forgotten in that House. The Right Honourable Gentleman had made an answer which he would not reca pitulate—not from any desire of being unfair, but because it was fresh in the recollection of every one who listened to it. The Right Hon. Gentleman said that, in the year 1825, he did of course, deny his communication with Lord Liverpool ; and he had said that, in 1829, when he announced that communi cation, he announced nothing more than he announced in 1827, in the presence of Mr. Canning himself. It was a remarkable circumstance, as the House would recollect. The Noble Lord had accused the Right Honourable Baronet of having, ru 18A acknowledged, or rather announced, the change of his opinion on the Catholic quest ion in 1825, that announcement being made in a speech of 1829. The Right Hon. Gentleman never read that speech—the Right Itin. Gentleman had read the speech which he made in 1827. in the presence of Mr. Canning. It was remarkable that the Right [ion. Gentleman never referred to the speech on which the Noble Lord alleged the great accusation then before the House. The position of the Right Hon. Gentleman was that in 1829 he only stated in that House what in 1827 he stated he had urged in his communication to Lord Itiverpeol, in the presence of Mr. Canning. He would wish to read to the House that speech of 1829, where the allegation of this great omission was contained. The Right Hon. Baronet referred Hon. Gentlemen to the speech of 1829, but he never read it, and, therefore, he (Mr. Dis raeli) would read to the House what took place in 1827. It was but due to the Right Hon. 'Gentleman to open that pas sage in Hansard, as the question was too interesting and too important to be passed in silence. The Right Hon. Gentleman said, " As far as my own course in this question is concernett." Mr. H. YORKE—Which Right Hon. Gentleman ? ( baud cri•-s of " Order.") Mr. DISRAELI proceeded to quote :—" As far as my nwu course is concerned, it is the same which I have always held in my mind since 1825, when he was principal Minister, and found myself in a minor ity on this question. When I saw the number arrayed against one, I fouud my own position unten able. When I found I was left in a minority on this ques tion, I wished to be relieved from the resmnsibilities and the duties of office, and in consequence of the decision given egai , ,st me in that House, I wished to be relieved from that office." He was ready to admit that it appeared that the Right Hon. Gentle man used the same language in 1827, nor did the Righ+ Honourable Gentleman say anything which he did not say in 1827, in the presence of Mr. Canning. There was no con tradiction to that by any of the intimate friends of Canning, or those most intimate with the conduct of public men in this country. And what was the impression of the House at that time, when that speech of 1829, an extract from which he had just read, was written ? He made no charge against the Right Hon. Baronet, but he said that this was a garbled and muti lated report ; or, to use the softer language of that House, it was a correct report of what was said. Now, it really amounted to this, whether or not that important statement was made by the Right Hon. Baronet? That was really the great question.—(Hear.) It so happened that there were two reports of that speech. There was not only that of Han sard, which appeared after after a long interval, but there was that which appeared in the " Mirror of Parliamen'," and which paper was reported by men of education, talent, and of the greatest intelligence. The speech of the Right Hqn. Baronet was taken down in short-hand by verbatim reporters. When this speech was made, a great question then agitated the public mind, and the course pursued by the Right Hon. Baronet was that which suggested itself to his mind at the time as the only one which he could adopt under the cir cumstances. It was a most important question to the country, and related to the great Catholic question._( Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman then felt that the time was come when something respecting the Catholic claims should be done. He stated to Lord Liverpool that something should be done with respect to the Catholic question. There wags such a thing as a version of a speech —a speech for the House, and a speech for posterity.—(Hear, hear.) It so hap pened that the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet was both ways; and now they read both, and compared the speech of the hour with the speech of posterity.—(Cheers.) It hap pened that at that time a very eminent gentleman, who was at the head of a great Protestant party in that House, re marked that if there was a time for consenting to the Catholic question, the Right Honourable Baronet—in justice to his own character—in justice to his friends—and in jus tice to Mr. Canning ought to have consented before. If, said the Honourable Member, the question was not found necessary in 1825, when brought forward by Mr. Canning, why did he again vote against it in 1827. when Mr. Canning was in office, and then advise it in 1829? (Great cheering.) These were the remarks in an Hon. Mem ber's—in the speech of Sir Edward Knatchbull—(Hear, hear. ) —and it was well-remembered by all who listened to the speaker, that it brought an answer from the Right Hon. Baronet. He did not answer that speech in the language which he quoted from Hansard, as the speech of the Right. Hon. Baronet. His answer was the speech of Hansard, but not the speech of the Mirror of Parliament. It was no doubt a revised speech, a corrected speech. It was marked in Hansard as the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet—and there was this most remarkable note appended to it--" printed with sanction, and by the authority of Mr. Secretary PeeL" ( Hear, hear. and cheers from the Protection benches.) Now, with respect to the speech in the Mirror of Parliament, he had inquired who it was that reported it, and he learned it was reported by Mr. Barrow, a gen tleman who was cue of the first short-hand writers as well as one of the first scholars of the day, they would not doubt the ability and correctness of Mr. Barrow, but if they did, he fancied that that speech had also been reported in the Times newspaper of 1829, wherein the Right Hon. Baronet was made to say that the time was come when something must be done with the Catholic question. He did not bring those statements forward without wishing that the Right Hon. Gentleman should have the opportunity of answering them. He had quoted them from anonymous works, but it should be remembered that anonymous works, at times, were written by those who were high in office, and who were above writing any thing contrary to fact, at least wilfully. He found it stated in a work of great reputation, that Sir Robert Peel had a letter in his writing-desk, which he had written to Lord Liverpool, stating that it was high time that something shbuld be done with res p ec t t o C at h o li c c l a i ms. This was stated in the Edinburghßeview, and it was signed anonymously ; but it should be remembered that that work was read in the highest circles, and quoted as a great authority ; and for the best of all reasons, that its contributors were men of high rank and of great attainments. It was within eight and forty hours after Mr. Canning gave the Right Hon. Gentleman the cha racter of which he appeared to be so proud, that the Right Hon. Baronet commenced that opposition, which was considered at the time, and had been considered ever since, to have outraged all decency. It was agreed upon, at a party of gentlemen, held in—he would not say in what great house, though he had been told—where they were dining. It was enou g h for him to know that they came d own to that House, and the Right Hon. Gentleman was amongst them. It was a party favourable to the shipping interest, and the Right Hon. Gen tleman delivered himself of a speech which contained language far more vehement,: far more exciting, and far more passionate than any they heard in modern times.—( Hear, hear.) On the third day after he had received his character for candour, and sincerity, the Right Hon. Gentleman rose and delivered one of the most violent and passionate speeches that had ever been made in that House, which called for the celebrated reply from Mr. Canning, that he was always ready to meet the attack of an open and honourable enemy, but he despised the sneaking insinuation of a lurking foe in the garb of a friend. Now, he would not enter into any details as to whether the Right Hon. Baronet hunted down Mr. Can ning, because that was the poetical phrase, used meta phorically, to describe the feelings of the friends, and relatives of Mr. Canning, with regard to the transactions with which they were familiar, and because if he were to do so he must go into secret councils, and quote secret correspondence, read passages from newspapers, set up and maintained for a particular purpose.—(Hear, bear.) He must go into details ofanatters which the Right Hon. Gentleman addressed to the new generation who have entered Parliament since these events had occurred, and in vindication of his own character ; but let him remind the House that it was not a vindication made on the spur of the moment, although the Right Hon. Baronet might have had an imperfect knowledge of the details of what occurred niueteen years ago, for the Right Hon. Gentleman took three or four days to get up his case, which was to make an impression upon the rising generation. He thought, however, he had proved from the extracts which he had read that the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman in. vindication of his own character was garbled.— SeitecaL e whoHfirina ehtsoy of drbroughtimpression thepmevieidn leftence upon the—uninten minds tiona e evidence — unintentional thos con were witnes sed the occ urrence o f t h ese events, and who cognisant of the unenviable avowal befcre the House n fr i i n e e n t c e i made against -11 ---/i(Vieers.) But a complaint was the Right Honourable °Gee l Friend that he had called ears Right . Hon. Va c :. r a n n a e n n t i n asked if the Noble Lord " his Right Honourable believed that he h h u im nte h d it Right H o n g . t ?ri l e e n a t t l il "? and was justified in calling he he possibly could do he would deal with that questio u n. far lit remembered when the Right Hon. Baronet was at the head of a phrasaical confederacy, called the " Conservative party."— ( Hear and laughter.) He remembered then the Right Hon. ca ll e d hint their Rielat Honourable Friend. Gentleman had more than 300 Hon. Friends—(Hear, and laughter)—many of whom he did not know by name—( Laugh teri—many of whom he certainly could not recognise, and yet Right Hon. Baronet seemed to think that he the sole Minister of England, and he came to the table was spoke of measures which " l_proposed " of the House and must tell the Right Hon. Baronet (Laughtcr)—but he .that, itwas not a single I ni n o t s h t at of tim w formed, individual, bow when a party was time the might be, who proposed measures, of which he was theleader. It must be but it was the party that his Noble Friend, in supporting remembered, however, did not acknowledge him as his the Right Hon. Baronet, ever eminent his abilities private friend, and with whom he voted on a c ertain occasion i n leader, but he did Lord Stanley, who bad long been hi s political associate and intimate driving the Right Hon. Baronet from power. He was not this subject. For his own Put ? he never had any acquaintance wit illustriousillustrious li surprised that his Noble Friend, connected as he was with Mr. Canning, should have felt deeply upon man, and never saw him but once. It was in that House, and at a time when he had rather a hope than an expectation of becoming a member of tha' assembly ; and he could recollect how he listened, as if it were only yesterday, „to the last breathing thoughts, and, he might say, the dying words of that great orator. He could recollect, as if it were only yesterday, the flourish and tumult which his mighty dreams created. Even now the melody of his voice still lingered on his ear, and he was afraid he should never see another Canning. A man who ruled the House as a rider ruled a high-bred horse — as Alexander ruled Bucephalus.—(Cheers and laughter.) Hon. Gentlemen might laugh, but he was conscious that they lived in a Parliament and in times over which a great change had come, and he was not surprised to find that even the public feeling assumed a sleepy apathy upon subjects of this nature. He well knew tiat the tone and temper of that House had long since undergone a change, and he was conscious that it did not evince the pride, the spirit, nor the courage which it did in the time of Canning. He was not surprised that the vulture ruled when the eagle reigned.-- ( Cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman once said when in the House, and the phrase must be familiar to all, that " Ireland was his greatest difficuity." But why was Ireland his greatest difficulty? He asked him, if be had acted with frankness towards Mr. Canning, in regard to the communica tion he made to Lord Liverpool in 1829, whether Ireland would have been the great diffieulty which he felt it was at this mo ment. They were about to divide on an Irish quest ion, and that division might be fatal to the continuance of his power. The Right Hon. Baronet must feel that that division would seal his Parliamentary reputation, and prove the catastrophe of a sinister career.—(Loud cheers. ) Sir R. PEEL rose to explain. He knew that the form and usages of the House did not admit of a reply, yet still he felt he was so personally referred to, that he dared to say the House would not think it unfair if they were drawn a little from their rigid adherence to established usage on the present occasion. lie did not intend to make a reply, but he asked them to suspend their judgment till an opportunity was given of judging correctly when the whole question was before them. He would confine himself to the single fact. did he or did he not in 1825, state to Lord Liverpool, that his ( Sir R Peel's) opinion on the Roman Catholic question waschanged? The whole ques tion was— Is this tine ? On that he fearlessly asserted that the report of his speech on the 25th March, 1829, was a cor rect statement of the facts. In connexion with Lord Liver pool's Government, in 1825, he (Sir R. Peel) occupied the position of Secretary of State for the Home Department, and he was the only one that opposed the Roman Catolic claims. Judging from my connexion, I did not think the measure ex. pedient. And was it not intolerable to say he had not the right to do so. In 1e25, he opposed the Roman Ca tholic claims ; in the same year Lord Liverpool made one of the strongest speeches in favour of the Roman Catholic claims; and he (Sir Robert Peel replied to it. By referring to that reply, they would find an illustration of the views he then held. In 1827, he again opposed the Roman Catholic claims ; and in 1828 he continua the same opposition. He was in a minority in 1828, when he said his position was not the same as in 1825, and he intimated that, under the circumstances, he could no longer con ti nue th e ad ministration of affairs in Ireland. But when the circumstances of 1829 took place, he told Lord Liverpool that the time was now come when the question must be settled, and that though he could not support it in an official capacity he would retire from office, and in a private capacity do what he could to effect its settlement. Seventeen or eighteen years had passed away since this question was settled, and he would not undertake to be responsible for all that had been reported of him, but as the Noble Lord (Lord G. Bentinck) who had attacked him ( Sir R. Peel) had an opportunity in 1822 of attacking him, why had he not done so—( Hear . , hear)—why had he reserve d hi s attack till the present period ? He could not be ex pected to answer every contradiction that might have appeared in reports, but the main question was, did he or did he not say to Lord Liverpool in 1825 the Roman Catho lic question must be settled ? Had he ( Sir Robert Peel) said so, would the question have not been settled.—( Hear, hear. ) He ( Sir Robert Peel) did what many others in the same cir cumstances had done, and if they referred to the " Mirror of Parliament" of the 6th of March, in answer to a question put on the sth 111 arch, they would find that he did not come to the settlement of the question. With respect to what was stated by the Edinburgh Review, he would say, what would be the condition of public men it they bad to answer every anonymous writer ? Were they to contra dict every malignant paragraph that might be published against them. But he would say, if, as the " Review" asserted, there was such a letter to the Earl of Liverpool in existence, giving his opinion that the Catholic claims should be set tied, he challenged its production, The lion. Gentle man says that he (Sir Robert Peel) had such a letter. He asked him what authority he had for making such a statement— what proof he had of its existence ? It he knew of such a letter he was challenged with the proofs He (Sir Robert Peel) however, pledged his honour if such a letter had been written and was in existence, and in his possession, he would in extenso praduce Cheers.) It would then be seen what it was, and whether it bore out the charge which bad been made. In conclusion he again asserted he never sated in 1625 what had been attributed to him by the Honourable Gentleman. of horizontal engines for applying steam power to the screw propeller, as arranged for the guard ships, in which the machinery is placed entirely out of the reach of shot. Models of the engines of her Ma . iestv's steam-frigate Bulldog. Side lever and double cylinder engines, by Messrs. Maudaley and Field ; a model of the Ferraby sluice, in the Aucholme drainage. erected by Sir John Rennie, whose design for the improvement of the great wash in Lincolnshire, by which almost the extent of an entire county will be added to the coast,was also displayed in a model, showing on one side the present state ot the out fall, and on the other the embankments and works as they will appear when completed. Sections of the great works at Sheerness dockyard, by the late Mr. Rennie; plans of the propo. , ed harbour of refuge at Dover, by Mr. George Rehrite; a model illustrating Mons. Hallett's system for obviating the disadvantages of the present continuous valve of the atmos pheric system, and a model of Mr. Ricardo's ingenious in strument for registering the velocity of railway trains. We also observed two beautiful machines at work in the rolm, the one being Wheatstone and Co , k,'s electric tele graph, and the other Mr. Oldham's machine for numbering and paging registers at the Bank of England, which is also applicable for all tickets where a series of numbe-s is desir able. The machine, however, which attracted the greatest amount of attention from the company present was that of Mr. Rand, for milking collapsible tubes to hold artists' co lon's and scents, and which can be adapted to many other useful purposes. The apparatus appears to differ little from the usual stamping machine, but nevertheless pre sented a beautitill adaptation of the scientific principle that tin, when under the pressure of about twenty tors to a cir cular inch, will run acc,rding t o t h e l aw of fluids. In the machine exhibited the pressure was about five tons, and a flat, basin-shaped car-ule being smartly struck by a solid cvlintlrical punch, sprung upwards, embracing the punch closely, and taking its shape so as to form a perfect and homogeneous tin tube. The numerous applications of this apparatus are quite obvious, but the vessels produced are more particularly available for the preservation of artists' colours, essential oils, and all semi-fluid substances which are difficult to be got out of bottles, and which become injured by the introduction of air into the ordinary bottle after any portion has been extracted. _ _ Numerous interesting works of art were profusely scattered about the room, amongst which we must enumerate Mr. Thomas' beautiful statue of a female warrior. Some superb spechners of machine wood-carving, by Taylor, Williams, and Jordan : oak hand carvings, by Rogers ; some spirited proof etching, by Thomas Landseer and Ward ; and an engraving of Mr. Robert Stephenson's curious tube bridge proposed to be carried across the Menai Strait. Nor should Mr. Sang's exceedingly beautiful decoration of the rooms ap propriated for the reception of the company be passed over without notice. The guests consisted of almost everybody of note in the scientific world now in London, as also of several noblemen and gentlemen amateurs and supporters of the fine arts ; perhaps, however, the most remarkable personage present was Soliman Pacha, who was conducted through the rooms by Mr. Charles Manby, the secretary to the institution, who exhibited and explained to this distinguished guest, as to all the other foreigners, the various objects most worthy of attention. Among the general body of distinguished visitors we no ticed Professor Hoffer, Messrs. Hallette, Gihan, Floresi, Motel, and Wattevil!e. The Marquises of Northampton and Salisbury, Lord James Stuart, Baron Goldsmidt, the Bishop of Norwich ; Sirs 11-nry Ells, C. Malcolm, J. Clatke, H. de la Beebe, C. Lemon, W. Middleton, D.

The President of the institution did the honours of the evening with his usual amenity, and the meeting broke up at a late hour. IBRA HIM PA CH A. DEPARTURE FOR BIRMINGHAM. On Saturday afternoon, at five o'clock, his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, accompanied by "ajor Dickson, Suleiman Pacha, Ibrahim Bey, Colonel Bonfort, Curate ili.ffendi, M. Nubar (his Hig - hnes's interpreter), and other members of his suite, arrived at the Euston-square T.rminus, and took his departure by the express train for Birmingham. His highness reached the station about half-past four o'clock, and was received by Mr. Leclsharn, the deputy chair man, the Hon. George Anson, M P., Mr Young, and Mr. Malluish, directors, Mr. Creed. the secretary of the com pany, and Mr. Barry, the chief of the locomotive department. Mr. Barker, the superinterdent of the police of the line, with a body .of bis men, and other officers of the establish meat, were also in attendance. Having partaken of a splendid dejeune, which had been laid out in the receptioc, room fitted up fur the Queen and other members of tee -Royal Family, at the station, the Pacla dud suite were con ducted over the terminus, and had many of the works x plained to them. Precisely at five o'clock his Highness entered the carriage built for the accominodatio» of her Maje,ty the Queen Dowager, and liavig been furnished with a light for hie magnificent pipe, the illuArions foreigner commenced his smoking, and the train started amil,t the cheers of those assembled, the thanks of the Pacha, for the atention shown him, having been previously conveyed to the di r e c t ors through Major Dickson. Prior to the arrival of the Pacha and suite a large number of persons had assembled in the grand quadrangle of the sta tion, by whom his Highness was loudly cheered. In the morning his Highness paid a visit to the Regent's Park barracks, where he was received by the Hon. Colonel Cavendish, the Colonel commanding the Ist Life Guards, and other officers. Having minutely inspected the barracks, his Highness returned to Mivart's, and thence proceeded to Chiswick, to witness the horticultural fete, with which he was much plessed. On the motion of Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL, the debate was adittt-nel. - - His Highness, it is stated, intends taking a tour through the whole of the manufacturing districts, and will also visit the Highlands of Scotland. He will return to London in a fortnight. ARRIVAL AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, SUNDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.—Last evening, at eight o'clock, his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, accompanied by Major Dickson, Colonel Bonfort, and M. Nubar, interpreter to the Pacha, arrived here by the express train from London, in one of the royal carriages generally used by the Queen Dowager. It being intended, pursuant to previous arrange ment, that the visit of the Paella should be strictly private, neither the mayor, high bailiff, nor any of the local authori ties, were in attendance to receive him. Owing, however, to the announcements in the morning papers, it became known that he would arrive in the course of the evening, and a con• siderable number of respectable persons applied for and ob tained admission into the station-yard of the Grand Junction Company, and waited his arrival. The carriage in which his Highness and attendants were was attached to the end of the train, and did not reach the ordinary parapet, so that it was at first thought the Pacha had not arrived. In a mement or two a rush to the end of the station took place, and presently his High ness alighted from his carriage on the rails, and • alked to the landing, where he was met by Charles Laurence, Esq., chairman of the Grand Junction Company, and L Mozeley, Esq., one of the directors of the ssme body, and most cordially received by them. The Pacha shook hands with these gentlemen, and seemed much pleased at their at tention. He then advanced to the parapet, stepped into a carriage which was waiting his arrival, and drove off with his attendants to Dee's Royal Hotel, where a splendid set of apartments, heretofore uscd by members of the Royal Family, and lately by the King of Saxony, were in readiness for him. After partaking of some slight refreshments his Highness appeared on the balcony of the Hotel, smoking his magnifi cently mounted long hooka, and seemingly much pleased with his journey. He was soon after waited 'upon by Mr. George Richmond Collis, Consul to the Pacha'; father, and who communicated the necessary local information to the distinguished party. At hall-past nine o'clock his Highness and attendants and Mr. Collis dined, and at an early hour the Paella retired to bed. This mornin.; at eight o'clock he breakfasted, and at twelve he and the whole of the above party left the hotel for the London and Birmingham station, where a special engine was in readiness to convey them to Leamington and Warwick, his Highness having received an invitat'on to insp ec t th e magn ifi cent castle in th latter town. The Pacha and company will return this evening at seven o'clock to dinner at Dee's, and spend the evening in private. To-morrow we understand he will inspect some of the works in the town, and then proceed to the ironworks in the district. IBRAHIM PACHA AT WARWICK CASTLE. (FP.O.M A CORRESPONDENT.) His Highness visited Warwick Castle on Sunday, attended by Major Dickson, Mr. Collis, of Birmingham (Consul to the Sublime Porte), and suite. He was shown over the cas•le by Mr. Alder, and over the magnificent grounds by Mr. Spinks, the head gardener, after which he partook of luncheon spread beneath the umbrageous branches of the gigantic forest trees on the lawn, which luncheon was provided by Mr. Lake, of the Warwick Arms Hotel. His Highness pre vious to leaving expressed himself highly gratified with his visit, the attention paid to him, and the kindness of the Noble Earl, who had previously forwarded levers to the castle, desiring every attention to be paid to his Highness. After the repast his highness enjoyed his cigarrette for near an hour, when he left for the London and Birmingham Rail way. He arrived soon after one and left about five. ,' THE ELECTION OF A NEW POPE. " The following," says the Constitutionnel, " are the prin cipal ceremonies observed at Rome oa the death of the Sove reign Pontiff:— " As soon as the reigning Pope has ceased to live, the Pope's Great Chamberlain, accompanied by the clerks of the Apostolical Chamber, is conducted to the bedroom of the deceased Pontiff, where he verifies his mortal remains, and receives from the hands of the Master of the Chamber the fisherman's ring.' This ring, and the seal of bulls, called the leaden seal,' are broken by the chief master of the cere monies in presence of all the Cardinals. The Pope's Great Chamberlain then holds a congregation with the same clerks, and in this re. union he appoints all the officers of the Chamber. ";Twenty-four hours after the Pope's death, his body is em balmed. In the evening of the third day it is transported to the Church of St. Peter's with the same pomp that sur rounded the Sovereign Pontiff on solemn occasions; there is also a detachment - of artillery, which forms a part of the cortege. The body thus embalmed remains exposed in the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament during three days, the head ' turned towards the altar, and the feet touching the railing which encloses the chapel. The people pay their last homage of respect and regret to the mortal remains of the Pope by kissing his feet between the bare. " A large and rich catafalque is raised during this period in the middle of the principal nave of the basilica. The por trait of the deceased Pope. and the most memorable events of his reign, are painted in grey colours, and ornament the different sides of the mausoleum. The funeral commences in the evening of the third day by the ceremony of interment, which takes place in the presence of the Great Chamberlain,the Cardinals appointed by the de c eas e d, and the clerks of the chamber. The body, inclosed in a triple coffin, is.le of after wards placed near the chapel of the choir until the time sepu I ture.

Dames read a long report of the process employed at the Royal Printing-office for printing upon stone, and in colours, the large geological map of France. It would be tedious to our readers generally to follow M. Dumas through the whole of his report, however interesting it may be to printers, who are well acquainted with all the technical details into which he enters. It will be Sufficient for u 3 to state that which has been done upon a rather smaller scale, with the most perfect success, by other lithographic printers, and in particular by M. Englmann, to whose genius and perseverance so many beautiful improvements in lithographic printing are clue, is accomplished at the royal printing office upon a more extensive scale, by the mechanical precision which has been attained. Printing in colours, whether from metal types or stone, is, as our readers may suppose, a repetition of the process for as many colours and shades as are required. If in letter-press printing, for instance, it be re quired to print a sheet in six or seven colours, there are the same number of forms set up, each containing the words which are to be in one particular colour. The press-work upon one colour being accomplished, another form, containing the letters to be printed in a different colour, is brought to the press, and the sheet is so adjusted that the colour may fall nowhere else ; this process is repeated as often as the colours are to be introduced. There must be the greatest care and precision used. It is the same with lithographic printing. For as many portions of the print as there are to be portions in different colours, there are so many engraved stones, and success in the operation depends upon the Ina chinery, by which the sheet is made to adapt itself exactly to each. The novelty at the Royal Printing -office appears to us to consist entirely in the extent to which thi s mo d e of printing is carried, for it appears that no l ess t h an 23 or 24 lithographic stones are used for the same map. The me chanical part of the process is evidently, from the description of M. Dumas, admirably contrived; but whilst due honour is paid to the art and ingenuity evinced in the process at this establishment, we think it is only fair to speak in terms of almost equal praise of the individuals who have, with so much public spirit, and at so great a sacrifice of money, brought the art of lithographic printing to its present state. A long letter was read from M. Boussingault to M. Arago, relative to a tree struck by lightning last month, and which the writer saw and examined after the accident. M. Bossingaul gives a very detailed account of the appearance of the parts rent or carbonised by the electric fluid, but they are wholly without interest, for the writer admits that it dif tered in no essential point from what has been seen in other cases of the same kind. What, then, it will be no doubt asked, was the writer's object in this long letter ? It was simply to enable M. Boussingault to repeat an opinion which he has frequently expressed, that the belief that the electric fluid leaves behind it a strong odour of sulphur is a vulgar error. He says he was assured by some persons that this tree gave out such a smell, but that having himself visited it he was convinced that there was no smell of sulphur, and that the real smell was precisely the same as that in the manufactories where vinegar is distilled from wood. These two odours are very unlike, and consequently if M. Bous singault is right, persons who fancy that the electric fluid leaves behind it a smell of sulphur are wrong. M. Bous ,ingault adds, that in no case has he found a sulphurous emanation from any article struck by lightning. In the present case, however, he candidly admits that a person who accompanied him in his visit to the tree was of opinion that the smell was sulphurous, "notwithstanding all his efforts to dissuade him from it." DI. Boussingault is a great authority in :scientific matters, but his companion seems to have thought that, independently of science, a nose is a nose, and that he had as much right to smell or fancy that he smelled sulphur as M. Boussingault had to smell or fancy that he smelled the vinegar of wood. M. Cornay gave a description of a new sound or probe for detecting the presence of urinary concretions and other de posits, and which he calls a stereoscope. It is an ingenious contrivance, and will, we believe, be found of practical benefit. A communication was received from Monsieur Bouchardat on the functions of the roots of plants. He states that if the roots of plants be plunged in a solution of several salts so weak as to be without chemical action upon the tissues, the plant will absorb these salts in equal proportions. M. de Saussure came to a different conclusion, but this arose, says M. Bouchardat, from his not having taken into ac count the secretion which goes on simultaneously with the absorption. A Communication was received from M. de Nothomb, on the use of ammonia in the preparation of plates for photographic impressions. Hitherto it has been considered important to carry on the process of photography in places as free as possible from ammonial emanation. M. de Nothomb is of quite a different opinion. He says, nothing tends so much to increase the rapidity of the operation as the use of ammonia. After preparing his plate in the usual way with the vapour of iodine, &c., he exposes it to the vapour of a solution of ammonia, and at the end of twenty or thirty seconds, it is, according to his account, in a much better state than it would otherwise be to receive the impression that is required in the camera obscara. There was no other paper of general interest read at this sitting. INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGI- NEERS.—PRESIDENT'S CONVERSAZIONE. The first of a series of fo ur conve r sazioni, to be given by Sir John R enn i e , th e p res id en t o f this very useful and flourishing institution, took place on Saturday evening last, at his residence in Whitehall-place, and, was most numer ously and brilliantly attended by noblemen and gentlemen connected v ith or interested in scientific pursuits. The company on their arrival were received, with his usual ur banity, by the President, who was supported on the occasion by the vi ce - pres id ents and council and secretary of the insti tution, and immediately commenced their inspection of the many beautiful objects and models that were profusely scat tered through the noble suite of rooms fitted up expressly for the occasion. To enum. rate everything that was interesting would greatly exceed our limits; we must, therefore, be con tent to notice a few of the things which struck us as being most remarkable. Amongst the models were an exceedingly good one of the biscuit-baking machinery, invented by Grant, and erected at Portsmouth Dockyard by Messrs. Rennie. Prosser's machine for drawing and welding metal tubes. Struve's machine for ventilating mines by exhausting the upward current in the air shaft. Mr. M'Clean's proposed method for conveying railway trains across the river Dee, by means of a platform travelling upon rails fixed on piles across the bed of the river, leaving the full depth o f water above, by which the ordinary navigation can be carried on without impediment. The St. Ka therine's Point and Menai Lighthouses, sent by the Trinity Beard. Mr. R. Stephenson's long boiler narrow gauge locomo tive, and the Great Western broad gauge locomotive.

These sessionr, the eighth during the present Mayoralty, were opened this morning before the Recorder, and Alder men Gibbs, Musgrove, Sir Chapman Marshall, S z e. Th e total number of persons committed to take their trial is 180— for murder, 1 ; manslaughter, 2 ; rape, 1; cutting and wounding, 7; misdemeanour, 4; larceny, 119; robbery, 2; forgery, 7. The prisoners committed in London are 21, Middlesex, 118; Essex, 2 ; Kent, 9; Surrey, 30. The grand jury having been sworn in, The RECORDER proceed e d t o c h arge them in the following words :—Gentlemen of thegrand jury,the number of prisoners committed to take their trial appears by the calendar to be 180, and that number will probably be augmented during the progress of your' labours here. The calendar contains one charge ofinurder : in ordinary circumstances! should have felt it my duty to enter somewhat into the features and pecu liaritise of that charke before you ; but on looking into the de positions made in that case, I think you will feel it is of such a nature and the details so plainly laid down, that you will think it your duty to put it into the cours e o f further inves tigation. There are seven cases of cutting and wounding with instruments that would endanger life; and I cannot hut repeat the observations that I have been called on to make too frequently, that the use of the knife and of sharp instru ments, to the endangering of life, is a crime unfortunately on the increase, and the particulars show that intemperate habits and public-houses have been generally connected with thesa inanitestations of the disposition to this crime. Whether it be that this frequency ha§ arisen out of what has formerly been done in this Court, whether the sentences with which this crime has been visited have created the opinion of impunity, I know not ; but it is unhappily on the increase. There are many charges of larceny, and larceny in the case of servants, and offences that relate to coining; in all these the depositions set forth matters of fact, but not anything on which you requ i re any di rect i on. In any matters, • however, in which you think questions of law arise vou may always consult the Court, and you have besides the advantage of an able officer of the Court, to whom you may apply in cases of difficulty. In the Court of Queen's Bench the chief clerk of the Queen's Bench officer has been resorted to when occasion seemed to demand it, by the grand uries assembled there, and though that practice has existed for years with the knowledge of the Court, it has been al lowed to continue without observation. The grand jury, then, assembling here may have the aid of the Court, if they should deem that necessary. There are two charges of man slaughter and two of robbery. One of the cases of manslaughter comes before the Court from the coroner's inquest. The death on which this charge is founded occurred beyond the jurisdiction of the Court, but the Act 6 and 7 of Victoria c. 12, 6 ' for the more convenient holding of coroner's in quests,"gives the coroner within whose jurisdiction the body is lying authority to hold the inquest. (Here the Learned Recorder read the words of the section and proceeded.) But this Act of Parliament, though it affects the jurisdiction of coroners, has no reference to grand juries to give them pawer to try cases which have happened beyond their juris diction. The Coin t, however, can try it on the coroner's finding, and I think the parties will not send the bill before you. I thought it proper to remark upon this case, a case in which iguorance is alleged against a person practising hydropathy, and thereby en dangering life, that you might be aware of the grounds on which the Court could dispose of a case, the depositions in which come direct from the Coroner's Court, without pre viously passing before you, Gentlemen, you are aware that it is necessary, in any presentment from the grand jury, that not less than twelve of you r num b er must peeve in that presentment—that it must be made by not less than the ma jority of your number, for the law does not allow anybody to be put upon their trial by a less number than that which constitutes the petty jury. Whatever, in any case before you, remains unanswered or unexplained. and which would warrant further it vestigation before a pet tyjury, it will be your duty to put it in the course of further investigation. On the other hand, where a case is supported only by evidence which appears to be frivolous, you will not act on such evidence, but shelter the parties from being put upon their trial. At the same time where the evidence first laid before you is not satisfactory, you will call for more, and continue to do t so e until you exhaust all the evidence in the case; for, as h facts are sometimes laid before magistrates, the to rn rs o t s , t and im portant and decisive may not have been deposed to through precipitate decision on the part of g guilty have escaped—andyet it is no release But let me . yo_u need not charged, for new bills are filed against h to thefi juries partiestle With these add if the evidence testimony y s go through the te, and if you require i it, you will take you of every witness. the woittnseest; will not find it arduous, remarks.

MABERLYS NEW NOVEL, " LEoNTINE.”- - Th e great attraction of this new work of Mrs. Maberly's, consist% in its exhibiting one of the most lively pictures of French Court life that has, perhaps, ever appeared. The French character is drawn in all its lights and shades, and the histo rical personages are sketched with the greatest accuracy. Tie King, fickle and despotic—the Queen, bigoted to the ex.- tretne—the Duc de Richelieu, dissipated, haring, and hard hearted, but always fascinating and witty, intellectual and magnificent, selfish and avaricious, a strange compound of contradictions. Hortense, his victim and accomplice, is a most finished portrait of a coquette, and this character is placed in admirable contrast with the c l ever an d accom plished, though vain and frivolous, Marquise de Pompadour, and with the pure and high-souled Leontine. WOOLWICH, JUNE 14.—HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL YAcnT FAIRY. —This vessel having been thoroughly renovated at the :0 essrs. Penn's establishment, at Deptford, lelt the river this day (Sunday) morning for the Downs, to have some experiments made to unsure correctness in her compass, the variation , being very con siderable in many instances, and difficult to adjust in Iron vessels. Captain Johnson has six different and very ingenious plans prepared to experiment with in the Fairy, as, in addition to the diffi culties attendant on an iron steam-vessel, the vibratory motion given by the screw propeller, renders the compasses unsteady, and liable to some degree of variation from that cause. It may be interes.ing to know the manner in which compasses of all vessels in the royal navy are adinsted by Captain Johnson previous to leaving the river to service at sea. On the vessels being ready, they are taken to moorings at Greenhithe, and an azimuth compass being set up on shore, another azimuth cumpast is set up on board the vessel to be adjusted, and the party on board and the party on shore exchange signals to denote the various points of the comnass on board as the vessel is swung round at her moorings. In some instances the difference on board of iron vessels has been nearly one-eighth of the compass. the needle pointing north-west when it should have been due north. In these instanees a table, cal culating the true bearings, is given by Captain Johnsen to the mas ters in charge of the vessels. euvurnb•rs are now imported in considerable quan tities from Holland.

Verdict for the plaintiff for 100/. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 15. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE WALLER AND WALLER. IMPORTANT .QUESTION OF PARTNERSHIP AND BREACH OF TRUST.—These bankrupts, who had carried on business as grocers at Ipswich, came up to pass their last examination, and the same time was appointed for declaring a dividend. The last examination had been adjourned sine die in con sequence of the am:Hints not having been filed, which was at the time shown to be in consequence of the poverty of the bankrupts, and there being no assets in hand out of which they could have an allowance ; a funs of 7001. having been recovered, the bankrupts were allowed to come up at the expense of the estate; but were still unprepared to pass their last examination, as they had not the means of paying the accountant to file the balance sheet. A further adjournment of the examination' and dividend was, therefore, prayed for, as it was contended that the balance-shoot miAt show a wry material difference in the asst is to be distributed under the joint estate. From the tacts stated during a long argument, it ap peared that the business had original:y been carried on by Thomas Butterman Waller, who, however, sent letters to some of his creditors, stating that he bad taken his brother Thomas into partrership. Yet nevertheless Thomas made an assignment of the property as his own for the benefit of his creditors, to Messrs. Alexander, of Ipswich, and they realised the property. An action, however, was brought, in which the issue of partnership was raised. and the verdict estuiblish-d the partn rship. Messrs. Alexander then paid over the 700/. they had received, and the separate creditors now sought to prove under the joint estate. Mr. Lawrence appeared to support their interests. Mr. RUSSELL, the solicitor to the fiat, said Thomas Waller had dealt with the property as his own, the assignment was duly attested and advertised, and by the lapse of time, six months. afterwards became a va'id assignment; if therefore Messrs. Alexander had handed over to the assignees that which belonged to the separate estate of Thomas IValler, they were lirble to the separate creditors for breach of trust, and moreover that the creditors never trusted or had a claim against the joint estate. but it was a great question whether they could come in and prove under the joint estate. He was engaged for the fiat, but wished to see everything cleared up, and no opposition would be made by him to any course the Court felt disposed to sanction. Mr. LAWRENCE said this Court could not try the question of partnership although it could direct an issue ; the cre ditors generally had no idea that a partn-rship was in exist ence; surely, however, taking it there had been one, the per sons giving credit to the partners under the presumption that it was to the individual, had a right to come in and prove larder the facts existing. The LParned COMMISSIONER said that he should adjourn the examination and dividend for a month, to ascertain whether there was any separate estate, which appeared to him to be the question, as in fact the partnership had been made out on the issue tried.
