Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from the solicitors of York praying for an extension of the County Courts Act. IMPORTATION OF ARMS AND GUNPOWDER INTO THE CAPE COLONY. The Earl of MALMESBURY moved for the re turns of all arms and gunpowder imnorteci into the colony of the Care of Good Hope. and for copies of ell ordinances of the Governor of the colony on the sutiset Since he h4d first mentioned this tubj , ct he had learned that a considerable trade had been going on many years in r.rtn A and gunnowd..r between the Cape colony and , he Kafiri. To this trade ha thought might 1),4 fairy attrib u ted the failure of . her Majeati,'s firms in the war with the Kafirs. It appeared that the trade w.ss carried n through Nat6l at d a port further north belonging to the Portuguese. The Secret try of State for the Cl tonies hid first learntd this from the repart of C Geeeral Miller, and the Noble Earl ipid icarre diatelv dispatched a c mmunteati II to the G - eler:-er which did him grt at credit. The Noble Earl ':a; 1: 1 Y the only nu` , lic man who was ignorant of Op 'net—he vas only one out of a hundred who did not know, and es 'he head f the deportment, he Wi3 rupee „ the grt.at b!ame roust rest On his subcrdicatt ffic. ra for not acquainting him with the toe- There was a law in the colony cerAini:, against this trading, but it did not seem to have ever been put in force. He would not trouble their Lordships with quotations from the report which had been laid on the table on the subject of the Kafir war ; but it was quite evident that this trade had been going on for many years, and that the Noble Earl had been until very lately entirely ignorant of it ; he wished, therefore, to know what means the Noble Earl proposed to take to stop the trade. It was evident that the steamer which the Noble Earl had mentioned as having been sent to blockade the coast would not be sufficient for that purpose ; and he would suggest that, since the slave trade had been to a great degree repressed, some of the 16 vessels of the slave trade squadron should be sent down for the purpose. Earl GREY said it was a notorious fact that a trade in gunpowder had for many years been carried on with the Kafirs. It was no fault of the law. which was suffi ciently severe; and when the subject had been submitted to th, Ex- cativo Council in 1842. that Council had not thought it either neces-arry or possible to add to their stringency, but attributed the whole d.fficulty of stopping the traffic to the nature of the country and the scattered population on the frontier. All the powder which had reached the Kafirs was smuggled through our own ports after it was landed there, and not before; and it was ut terly impossible to find any coast where smuggling would be so impossible.

Sir B HALL wished to ask the N ble Lird a ques tion wish reference to an appointment which had recently taken place to a canonry in the cathedral of Durham, which had become vacant. Dr. Maltby was appointed Bishop of Dur ham upon the understanding that be was to re ceive 8,0011. a year under the new law established by the Ecclesiastical Cemreielohers ; but according to returns .ehich were presented lao )ear, it appeared that the Bishop had received 79,653/. more than that income, In itte43 mere was a vacancy in one of the rintories a tached to the bishopric, and the Bishop presented his son to the preferment, which was worth 1,200/, and thia sun the Bishop had just nominated to the canonry. Now, the question he wished to ask the Noble L ,rd was, whether any correspondence had taken place on the subject be tween the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and the Bishop of Durham, and, if so. whether he had any objtction to lay it b e f ore the Howe? Lord J. RUSSELL understood that a correspondence had taken place on the suuject of the Bishop's receipts, end there would be no objection to produce it. All the canonaries in the country had been reduced to 1,0002 a year; this one c ame un d er this law. Sir B. HALL then moved for the production of the correspond ace, which was ordered to be laid before the House forthwith. PETI f.

Before he sat down he mi lt ht state that a clause in the Bill would enable the Crown to reek° similar conventions with other countries besides France. Lord MAHON thought the thanks of the country were due to the Right Hon. Gentleman for having in• troduced this Bill, as well as to the Noble Lord the Member for Tiverton, under whose direction the treaty with France was negotiated. The Right Hon. Gentle man had taken a just view of the subject of translation, and he hoped the Bill would ultimately receive the sanction f the House. He suggested that the Go vernment would do well to come to a good understand ing with Belgium and the United States upon this sub i-ct of copyright. He had reason to believe that these two nations were not indimp,.ed to enter into such con ventions, and he should be glad to know if any negotia tions for the purpose were going or.? Mr. LABOUCHERE said there were none at pre gent, but when the Bill rhould have become law, it was p , oposed to open communication upon the subject with those two countries, to whom copies of the Bill would be forwarded. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. BOARD OF HEALTH. Lord SEYMOUR ',brained leave to bring in a Bill to t.firin cer tain provisional orders of the General Board o, SEW REFORM BILL FOR SCOTLAND, The LORD ADVOCATE then rose to move for I3ave :o bring in a Bill to extend the right of voting tor Members Of P„riiam nt, and the law relating to the represent?. ion of the p e opl e o f S co tl an d. T he provisions of this Bel were so much like that introduced for Eng lanr.l, that it was quite unnecessary far him to detain the House with any lengthened statement upon the subject . . The Noble Lord, who introduced the English Bill brought in the first measure of reform some thirty years ago, but he himself stood in a very different position. The great and distinguished man who introduced the first Reform Bill for Scotland had long been no:more, and now nothing was left of him but the results of his public labous and the works of his pen, which bad made the name of Francis Jeffrey and the English lan guage known throughout the whole world.—(Hear.) At the time the first Reform Bill was brought in for Scotland she stood in a very different position to Eng land. England had something like a popular representation, but Scotland had none, or if any it was only a shadow, for the right of returning Members for counties was, vested in the Court of Freeholders, who held their property di rectly from the Crown, while the privilege of returning Members for the boroughs was vested in the town coun cil, who el, cted themselves. And yet, notwith standing such a system, Scotland flourished, but nevertheless that did not prove the inuti lity of a popular representation, but only served to show what a nation might do through the force of its own energies.—(Neer, hear.) The Bill, however, which was brought in and carried by Jeffrey vastly extended the influence and improved the charac ter of the Scotch people, and though it was considered at the time only an experiment, the people soon satisfied the Legislature that it would succeed, and he could only hope that the same use would be made of the Bill that was made of the first, and that the candidate and the voter, the land lord and the tenant, the master and the employed, would still continue to make it their duty to maintain the national sell-respect, without which popular rights were useless. Looking at the political and moral progress during the last twenty-one years, at the increasing general intel ligence, and the improved tone of political morality, th e difficulty they would have would not be in saying what had not been done, but what had been accompliabed in that time. They had been taunted with the fact that there was not popular excitement on the subject of reform. That, oti doubt, was perfectly true, but, being true, he considered that the circumstance of the measure being introduced during a period of peace, and discussed without excitement, was the greatest ar• gument in its favour. It was impossible io have a more expressive tribute to the benefits of the Reform Bill than this. The absence of that cry for reform, which resounded through the country from the time of the Rockingham Administration to that of Earl Grey, showed that the • ff.ct of the Reform Bill was to draw more closer together the cords of sympathy between re presentatives and the people. He believed the people heel now more confidence in the Hesse, and that they considered it was not necessary, es in former day-, to create an agitation out;ot doors. Mhr the eXistit,g law i n Scotland the county representation was vested in lauded proprietors and holders of lung leases of let yearly valu-, and in the second place in those who held under leases for nineteen years, and those who paid 501. rent. It was proposed by t h e present measure to r• - dece the prop. r.y and lung leasehold qualifications From 101 to 51., end the 50/. rent velificetions to 201. With regard to boroughs, the qualitic.tion would be the ante st,st in the Ef.glieh Bill which bed been intro- Lead John Russell—the lul, occupaucy would h . t atiuct it to 5/., and the same provision would be introduced as to the pay went of a certain amount of direct taxes. , The Learned Lord then entered into a brief statement of the minor details of the Bill, which he said would eff.,ct a considerable im provemeut in the existing laiv. Tnere would he a right of appeal from the Registration Courts to the Scotch Court of Exchequer, which would d• Tide all points of law arising under the Bill. He cencluded by expressing au opinion that the mea sure would tend greatly to promote the happiness of the people and the prosperity of the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. CUMMIII6it BRUCE said he cordially that tnrheuleaLe questionni osetre con curred in the eloquent panegyric uttered by the Learned Lord, but be could not allow this the first sage of the Bill to pass without expressing his stroug couviction that it was ill-timed, uncalli d for, and in no dirt ction.—(Laughter and hear.) He did not mean to te,tt.rt that the persons whom the Bill proposed to enfran chise was not as independent and as well qua m i sou l tfu t ii i itn t t ' uch d ebteciiroecs t nvo o soamrrueya e ss : utem e edn r ne: c dtd i yaed : ni dihcnuyg t 7t h owh e uienti dh r ee i o g t wnhhhcete conceived d basis s a ho n an y , wt h o he t i heßhe the hpweoacrstoi an n r: m w o h s o t d o a p n p g o e s r o o d u e s ve an ry d a ay s s on a e clause of the Reform Act, and he was ready to admit A vddgi glorified or si he hd anticipated tashoeogmeel Lavenusdr do hear.) e f ata r ht o r 0. from hmeßa i it tef oa h wldd a n d oentgo n ttohh o dee t G b Learned o e v n aer which the Reform Bill had produced, he must say that they had not yet been able to elicit an answer to which had been put by one of the most illustrious men in this er any other country, viz. "How is the Queen's Government to be carried on?" In what state bad the Government of the country been sirce the passing of that Bill ? For the last few years and, indeed, almost at the present moment, the exercise of the Gi varnmental Neatens were nearly at a dead lock. The Government had frequently been almost unable to elrry on the business of the country. Know this, then, he said that the mover the present Government were now making w old tend to rem the to a still greater distance the time when there appeared any possible (thence of getting an answer to that important qua 6T1(111 Ho curdtill th4itketi the Noble Cord fur introducing the Bill, though there were many points which he highly disapproved of. sirs HUM E was not surprised at the speed of• the last speaker, for he had consistently opposed Parliamentary .It ,, torue ever since he had held a seat in this House, bus he reoll, was ,urprised to hear the remarks, however, which had Linen from the Hon. Member for loverness. Nevertheless he was not astonished at teese Bills being cnsristrierised as peAling measures; and he was at a less to understand why the Government bed not determined upon bringing in a thorough reform, for the Noble Lord at th e Lead of it was eenetaetly telling them that they ceule not have a Return Bill every session. Why did the Noble Lord then not carry out this H to, m inoveumet to the tuileat possible exteut, and then where would have been an end to the agitation on the subjitc. Ile rejoiced who n the Noole L urd who had tea a tnis version told the House that the peopi. of Scodarid had made such good use of the practice. It svaa no , a privilege but their right, and what he wautso was that they should go a step ter.ber, and let every care ejey the right. Ire only wished he could live twenty Bears longer to agitate and be a thorn in the sine of the, Neble I/.rd until he co/lot:tied to the 40:. treehel‘ier the right o: votot. Still there was some geed in this Bill, and ii eheu:d tuppert it. What he wanted however was that Ovary munlopal voter should have the right of voting for Members of Parliament, and that there should be only one registration, and he would not rest until he obteine d both these concessions, —(Hear.) The greatest defect in all these Bella was the absence of any clause which establish triennial Parliaments and vote by ballot.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. F. MACKENZIE wished for some technical expiration of the Bill, which was given by the Lurd Ad vocate, and the discussion was preceded with. Mr. STUART was surprised that such a Bill as this should have been introduced, if, as the Hon. Member for Montrose said it was likely to give rise to an annual agitation on the subject of reform. He would, however, suggest that the representation of the counties of Scotland should be more adequately adjusted to the extent and interests of the population than it was. Why could not the counties of Scotland be divided into divisions like those of England? Such a measure would improve the representation of Scotland, and he hoped his suggestion would not be lost sight of. Mr. EWART thought a 51 qualification ought to be made the measure of voting both in counties and boroughs. Mr. MACGREGOR should support the Bill; but, nevertheless, he thought it tell far short of what Scot FRIDAY EVENIN MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current. Feb. 13.)

He repeated mica more that ho doubted how tar the plan of the Commissiosert, as regarded the abolition of the Masters'-office, could be carried out. He was not to be satisfied by mere declamation that this or that plan could be accomplished; he required proof. In conclu sion he said that if bis Noble and Learned Friends per sisted in pursuing this course on future evenings, the best thing that he could do would be to give them no answer. Lord LYNDHURST said that.his Noble and Learned Friend had not experienced any attack front him. All that he had dm.e was to ask a simple q.l6Btion. Lord BROUGHAM ob,erv,ct that all their Lord ships who had heard his N,nbl. and Learned Frienit's explanatory answer to Lord Lyndhurst must bave seen that in point of face it was no answer at It his Noble and Learned Friend had nut made up his mind, as he said that he had not, no one oould xpect him to give an opinion.

Taking her .Mejesty'e Speech and the notice of motion given by a member of the Government to gether, we had a right to expect that the substance of the measure, however he might differ as to its details, had obtained the approbation of his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack. OUTRAGE ON AN ENGLISH SUBJECT AT FLORENCE. Earl FITZWILLIAM should have expected that, as the two Noble and Learned Lords, who had been making so many and such loeg speeches on the same subject almost every night this session, had both sat for some yews on the woolsack, and had therefore been masters of order, they would have exhibited a greater mastery ot its practice than that which they hal exhibited this session; fur they had been speaking every night on a question which, in point ot fact., was no question at all. „is he now saw in his place his Noble Relative, who had recently succeeded to the office of Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, he was desirous to put a question to him on a subjeet which had awakened the atthntion of every man in England who hau cast his eyes on the proceedings of foreign miaow', and who telt an interest in the proaperity and welfare of his own fellow-couutrymen. The question on which he desireus of obtaining information divided itself into two points; the first relating to the nature and extent of the outrage, and the second re lating to the conduct of her Majesty's representa tive at Florence, on hearing of the eccurreace at the close of the year which bad just elapsed. It appeared that a British subject was walking along the streets of Florence, without giving off.uce to any one, when he was first ',truck by an officer, whom he eEarl Fitz William) must consider as an officer of the Tuscau Governm-nt, for he could not suppose that an independent Govern ment like that of Tuscany would suffer in its streets fereign soldiers, Assuming, then, that it was a Tuscan officer, he would say that the Tuscan officer first struck a British subject with the flat of his sword, who imme diately remonstrated. On his then inquiring of the officer the cause fur which he had struck him, he wits again struck by him, and on making another remon strance, he was struck by another officer, not with the lilt, but with the curling part 01 the sword, and was cut severely on the head, the effusion of blood being so great that it was some time before he recovered bis senses. He (Earl Fezevilliau.) did not exaggerate when he said that our countrymen wets regularly cut down. What followed ? The injury was so severs that the victim of it was taken to a neighbouring hospital, and the consequences of hib wound were hate held to be so dangerous that ihree days elapsed before it was deemed sate to remove tam to his private lodgings. He considered, he repeated, this act to be the Cut or a Tuscan officer. IL wished t,e knew wbetner, accord. ing to the iuturinati .n received by her Majesty's Go vet ument, the statements of this outrage which bad be.--n published in elf the newspapers were corroblrated by the official a atement, and what course her Majesty's Guvetnmemt had thought fit to adopt regarding 11? He knew that the-re were some who th , ught that we ought rather to sue for compensa.ion than demand apology, but, it her Majesty's subjects were nut to be efficiently protected when performing their avocations peacefully in a foreign country, a heavy responsibility would hang over the heads of her Maj. buy's Government. Tbeir L,ndships knew, from circumstances which had re cently occurred in Parlitsznent, how sensitive the peo p le of this country were to any insult or injury inflicted on any parson who, though not of English race, was frum circumstances enti tled to the protectiou of the English Government. He hoped that the E.•glish Government would never shrink from demanding reparation and apology for any such itusult or ittjuty. But it would look very ill, if au influential Government like our own, after the demands ot reparation which it had exacted from an intent state like Greece, should be slow in exacting it from a coun try I.ke Ta.ceny, merely , le cause it was believed that under its feeble banner a stronger power was sheltering uself, with which we might possibly be brought into col iiiion. He had the fullest coefid-nce in her Majesty's Government, and more particularly in the desire ot his Noble Relative to prevent any inconvenient comnitrieon from being drawn between himself and his noble prede cessor in office as to their respective alacrity in demand ing from ioreigu powers, whether weak or powerful, no partition for injury of insult commieted on the life or property of Biitian subjects. Earl GRANVILLE spoke nearly to the following ef fect :-I'he Noble Earl, in putting these questions to me, has alluded to my recent accession to an office ofgreat im portance; and in answering questions which to a certain degree involve one of the most important duties of a British Minister for Foreign Affairs—namely, the pro tecion of the interests and persons of British subjects who are innocently pursuing their course in foreign cuuntries—l cannot help feeling that during the last few years, while I way trequetitly called upon to trespass on the attention of your Lordships in the discharge of the duties which I then held, I always met with indul gence from my Noble Friends on this side, and with for bearance from my noble opponents on the other, and I trust chat I shall not now be met in a different spirit.— (Hear, hear.) With regard to the facts of this case, it appears that Mr. Mether and his brother were walking peetly with other persons in the streets of Florence, be tween the band of an Austrian regiment and the regi ment itself, and that in consequence of the passage of a carriage some confusion occurred, in which Mr. Mather, on turning round, accidentally touched an Auetrian. , ffieer. The Austrian officer then •truck Mr. Mather with the flat o• his sword, end on Mr. blather turning round to knnew the Canso iit such an attack tee was again struck by another °filler, and on lifting up his band to pro tect himself was again sti uck by the first officer in the mariner which my Noble Friend has de-cribed. There is a difference in he account of the transaction as given by the Austrian officer awl Mr. Mather. The differ ence is this, and it is so small that it it not difficul, to ' reconcile the two accounts. The Austrian officer says, that he told Mr. Mather that he must get ut ' the way, end, as t h e A m elt adeu o ffi cer s p & ftn 'f. very bsfil), and, Mr. Mather did nut sp•ak it at all, there (nay have been some n3istak,- or migapnrehension between them. Mr. Mather raja that ne put himself in no aggressive attitude, while the Austrian officer say's that he put himself in the atti tude of a boxer.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petite's) from Black burn, praying for an amendment in the Patent Law„ ; also a petitiou from Brighton, praying for the compul sory eetranchisement of copy holds. COMMON LAW PROCEDURE ACT. Lord LYNDHURST begged to put a question to the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, whether he would have any objection to refer the Bill now on their Lordships' table with regard to common law procedure to a Select Committee, as it contained several nice points which could scarcely be discussed in a Committee of the full House. With regard to the table of fees, he should propose that they be retained in the Bill, and then, following the usual custom with re gard to money clauses, be struck out on the third read ing, in order that the other House might have an op portunity of seeing what was the opinion of the House on that subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should have no objection to the course recommended by his Noble and Learned Friend, and he should be obliged fur any suggestions which might be offered. At the present moment he was not prepared to frame a table of fees without having taken the opinion of those who were most conversant with the subject.. Lord LYNDHURST said the table of' fees formed a part of the original report. He wished, in addition, to ask the Noble Lord whether the Court of Chancery Bill was in such a state of preparation as to be ready to be laid on the table of the House of Commons on Monday night, as had been announced? The LORD CHANCELLOR said that that an nouncement must have been given under a mistake, because the Bill was very far from being in such a state of preparation as to be brought forward at that time. He could assure the Noble and Learned Lord that every possible means of expediting the measure shoula be used. Lord CAMPBELL expressed his earnest desire, as Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, that the Bill for the amendment of common law procedure would be carried forward with as great speed as pus ible. It effected a greater change in the mode of pro c dare at common law than had ever been contemplated since the reign of Elward I.; and tie was sure it would confer the most ies portent benefits on the suitors. Lord LYNDi IURST thought it would be the most convenient course to refer the Bill toa Select Committee, Ahem the most deliberate consideration could be given to the eueject. The LORD CHANCELLOR complained that these reiterated attempts to anticipate the diseus , ion on the yet auburn Bill for the reform of the Court of Chau eery were as inconvenient as they were irregular. Ir such discussions were to be continued, much time would ha loot without advantage to their Lordships. and with out benefit to the public. When a superior judge was es be ceded upon to do for 6,0001. a year what tne Me-ter heo Beret, fore done for les , , ,and when olhordittate effluent were to be called upon to do what had hitherto been done by the Masters themselves, e might be permitted to ask ter time to enable him to make up his mind. It his Noble and Learned Friend wad made up his mind on the point, so soon atter the iepearatice of the report, it might be owing to his Noble aid Learned Friend having greater facilities fur nsking up nisi mind than he had. his (the Lord Chau- Aloe's) facilities might not be so great as those of his Noble and Learned Fri, ne, but his responsibilities were greater. He repeated that he bad not mane up his mind on the subject of the Masters office; on the con ',nay, not having anticiptved that the abolition of the Vlasters'-offiee would be proposed, he had prepared to fill up a vacadcy whiCh had occurred. He was then ,sked, " Are you aware that the Commissioners intend ,o ab lish the r ifiue?" To this he replied that he was lit)t. He had then applied to the Commissieners for in formation on the point, and the Commissioners then told fie, that the abolition of the office was then under con ederation. He required a morn distinct and definite answer. Ha required that a meeting of the Ctnmie stoners should be cenvened; and, atter they had aiet, he .-000ived this answer to his question, namely, that they intended to abolish the Misters'-office, and in conse queece be did not fill up the office. When the report of • he Commissioners appeared, about ten days ago, he im mediately applied his best attention to it; but he had not made up his mind to carry all the details of it into effect. It was, he admitted, a most valuable report, and would be productive ref great public advantage. Whether snose who almost stifled that report with their commen eations were prepared to go the whole length of it he could not tell, but he had not yet made up his mind fur the abolition of the Masters'-office, whatever he might .lo after a minute and careful perusal of the report. He had not yet made up his mind, he repeated it, either one way or the other. Earl FITZ WILLIAM was saying a few words on the point of order, which were nut heard in the gallery, when he was suddenly interrupted by Lord BROUGHAM, who contended that nobody was actors out of artier than his Nuble Friend at that very minute. He had often heard questions put ,Ind answered both in that and the other House of Parliament; but a plainer question than that put to his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack by his Noble and Learned Friend near him never had been put, and a more unsa isfactory answer never had been given. That answer was given with s o many " ifs " and with so many s , un tile," and with so many qualifications, that he defied any man to know the result of it. What were they to con jecture to be his Noble and Learned Friend's meaning when he said, that when he had time to peruse and con sider the report he might be of the same opinion with he Commissioners, and if he were, then he would adopt their recommendations? He did not complain of hi. Noble and Learned Friend tur having given this answt r, which was uo answer at all, if he were iu this entire state ,f thickest darkness—for, until light broke upon him, it was impose; ble for him to give any other answer than hat which he had just given. But, undt r such circumstances, he (Lord Brougham) felt utter disap ponatment and dismay. When he found in the other House of Parliament a measure was to be submitted 0 public censideration, foundetima the report o f t h e Cote edesioners, and not opposed to it, and when he also found .hat his Noble arid Learned Friend was not intending to leave out of it one of the most important recenemetida 'ions of that report,—which he almost stifled with his a Inmendations, theugh he dill red from points of detail !ii it,—surely he (Lord Breuehani) had a right to expect 'fiat a measure of Chancery reform was not only in con templation, but was also actually prepared, in compli ance with the gracious speech from the Throne, I, would appear that all this expectation had arisen from the accidental circumstance that there was not a good enderotauding between the Premier and his Lerd Chan cellor. The notice of motion was a mistake on the part it Lord John Ressell; but what did this prove, except het the tin& ratauding between them was, like teat of Darby end Joao, of an ueststistactory nature? After indulging in this vein of ridicule for some time longer, tee Noble and Lsarued Lord concluded by declaring ir ter the answer of the Lord Chancellor, his hopes ef Chancery reform were entirely dashed to the ground. The LORD CHANCELLOR reminded the House that, at the commencement of the session, his Noble and Learned Friend had complained that their Lordship, had but li tle to do. From the prospeot which they now had fief ire them, he thought that their Lordship. might now rlischarge their minds from that misapprehension. For his Noble and Learned Friend, who had just sat down, even b e f o r e a measure, which was only in eo a ntem elation, h a d b een i n t ro duced into Parliament — tar pur pose which could lead to no useful result, and which he nevertheless followed up with speech es after speeches, without any advantage to the country—had well con trived to misunderstand the few words whichheutte had uttered in way of answer respecting that measure, and complained that he (the Bill, ozhcliehwod Chancellor) hi w requireas not dis- posed to bring in a amend ment every year—(Cries of "tiear2e—h year afterandtosubstyaiteuter an for an old system a new code, w would require to be altered d improved .—( Hear, and a laugh.) And all this was, because first, a report h a d been presented not more than ten days ago, reversingto the entire extent the whole system of proceedings in Chancery, and, next, because he had not mad e hi mself master of that report, involved as he was in other duties, both in that theHouseand thati Ct.ouhret ohfaCdhdaenvcoetreyd, a report, too, so voluminous , toitall his ti me , both day and night, since its appearance, he would not have h a d more than suffi. dent time to appreciate its merits. W as it • then, fair or just to him pars easily that t h ese two Noble and Learned Lords should be ind u l ged nightly in the deli very of these speeches, or rather attacks ugainst him? —(Hear, hear.) He asked their Lordships to judg ewh4t motives induc,d th ese N oble and Learned Lords put these questions t o hi m n i ght after night. If their Lord shipsut could not find any ground of public importance for them, he should like to know what other ground could be found for them. He hoped th a t h e was i wanting not an candour ; b ut i f a quesdon was put to him when n h in he had had no ti me for refiectiag upon it —as Loth the Noble and Learned Lords well knew that in this in stance be had not, whatever they might say to the con trary—it was uujust to him individually, and he sub mitted to their Lordships whether it was fitting and proper that his Noble Friends should tbus attack him eight after night. He bad considered that part of tbe re port which related to the abolition of the Masters office. He was not satisfied as to the mode in which their places were to be supplied—he could not say t h at h e knew of any plan by which the object of th e C omm i ss ioners could be litNelfflilt94 with minutogg to Ow pliPlio• PT? doubt . , refuge in the bee4e of the French Arribes:;ador. indige,m,ly ch , c,antifo reparation Th. sergeant was broLi,ht in con,equenca to [:curt It uslin!.

It was to this affect, that, considering the lo ng an d faithful service of this sergeant, he was not t o b e d ru mmed oat of the regiment fo r no t h av i ng run t h e F renc h me n through the body.—(A laugh.) I mention this to you, my Lords, not to excit e l aug h ter, b ut to show you hoe, many cir cumstances ar e t o b e ta k en i nto cons id erat i on in view ing Vie case. and h ow tar t h e po i nt o f h onour is carried in the Austrian se rv i ce . B ut. g i v i ng t h e f u ll e st extent to this argument en t h e p art o f the A ustr i an officer, and taking the Austrian aceouut of this transactiou, and o contrasting it with the accunt of it given by !Jr Ma;her, and corroborated by the testimony of s everal French and Itshart witnesses of it, it still appears to me that an inijustifieole act of outrage and injustice h as been commuted on a Briti s h subject, for which ample reparation is justly due; and I say further, that I have that confidence in the justice and honour of the Tuscan in the keen sen se o f h onour of the A ustr ian officers i Government and I a rse a dd t h at I have t h a t confidence in Tuscany as to i n d uce me to b el i eve t h a t they not refuses to give now ample reparation in this matter. I mentioned before to your Lordships that the Austrian officer offered. if Mr. iVlather would make explanatioue , an ap dog). Cobsidering the state of gen this you ng ti-man, I h.,v, no doubt that, if the Austriau officer heel ape. dily given en apology, he would nut here diem reshr d his rr putetion tether for ph> eical or mural COu' rage, or have iejer,d his eharaceer as a Christian or a eeettemen or hove acted inconsistently with that code wht.•h oreeine, I believe, throughou Europe• The sense Ot honour is the same amon g nations as among individual s ; an d I hereftire trust, that on that ground, the Tuscan Geverneuent will not refuse repar" tion. When I sat - that one nation should behave towards another as it would with that nation to behave towards. itself, without maki ng any concession where honou r and good 'with is at sake, I mean to assert that, when A Ds tem.( is clearly in the wrong, it ought not to be too p roud to say so; and I may b e permitted to make that dee ) " ration in consequence o f t h e pos i tion in which L as the For. ign Minister of this country, have been rec ent ly placed.
