Taylor and Bright's Circular states :--There has been a considerable fall of rain during the past week, quite sofficient for the present ; the weather is cold and ungenial. Arrivals of foreign wheat continue trifling, but as our millers continue sufficiently supplied_ from the farmers, it is of little consequence; the quantity of foreign used is small, and makes little impression on granaried stocks. To-day we had a fair supply of English wheat, which met very ready sale at fully the rates of last week, :.;93 t) 40s beirg the current rates to the farmer. Very little doing in foreign, English weight for . weight being still comparatively cheaper. Barley for feeding meets a moderate consumptive demand, which must soon in crease. The stock of peas is very trifling, and good quality command our quotations. In oats there is not much business passing, and good fresh corn would meet a market. There is a moderate business doing in linseed, fine qualities of which a-e rather scarce. Linseed cakes are dull, but alittle business has taken place in Hull made on contract, and also in fine foreign, of which the market is nearly cleared. No rapeseed oos ale, but cake s con ti nue i n demand, as do also bones , wh ic h fetch our quotations as they arrive.

We regret to hear that the committee appointed at the n3egting held in Guildhall, on 11th December, 1849, have not succeeded in organizing the proposed society, and are about to return to the subscribers the amounts placed at their disposal. The total sum subscribed was about ],lOOl. It will be recollected that the idea of forming a society for the benefit of building and en gineering workmen originated with Mr. Cockerell, who had long felt the want in this country of some strong bond of union and good feeling between employers and employed. We cannot say that the failure of the at tempt has caused us so much surprise as it has regret: at starting we saw reasons for believing that the issue Was doubtful. We agree with the deputation of work men, that to make the society acceptable a" sick fund" was indispensable„ and we think the committee should have taken the better view of human nature, and in cluded it in their scheme, even at the risk of an oc casional imposition. Care in the admission of members, proper regteatioes, . and the establishment of district committees might, wo think, bs made to protect the funds sufficiently. We still look for one great and general " Builders' Provident and Benevolent Institu tion," uniting masters, men, and employers by kindly ties, and capable of supplying all the wants and neces sities to which occident, misfortune, or old age, might expose them—Builder.

A SAGACIOUS Doo.--Among those who changed their residence at the last term in this burgh was a respect able woman, well advanced in years, who left her old domi cile, and took up her quarters in a different part of the burgh. The new premises were fitted up with gas. The good woman not being proficient in the management of this " new-fangled invention," on reti r i ng to bed, very delibe rately blew out the light, without being at the trouble of turning the check, imagining that there could be but little difference between the extinguished as and the unlightened wick of a penny candle. As she slept in a different apart ment of the house, the dangerous fluid might have con tinued to escape till fatal consequences had resulted, but for the timely warning given by a small terrier, which ran through the house whining and barking, and at last want to the bedside of its mistress, when, by pulling the blankets, and other significant manoeuvres, it succeeded in conveying its meaning in time to avert impending danger.—Elgin Courier.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) DIAYNOOTH. Mr. KEOGH wished to know from the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire if he intended to proceed with the Maynooth order which he had managed to keep on the paper since the 21. of February.— (Hear.) Mr. SPOONER said the debate was not adjourned in the first instance with his consent; but he stated last night, and he repeated now that he took the division upon the question of adjournment this morning as a division upon the main question. Mr. KEOGH hoped that the Hon. Member would move that the order be discharged. Mr. SPOONER was not prepared to take that course. Mr. KEOGH—Then the Hon. Gentleman abandons the whole concern. Mr. BOUVERIE protested against its being understood that the division on the adjournment was to be taken as a division on the main question. The SPEAKER here informed the House that there was no question before it. Mr. HAMILTON moved that the report of the Commit tee of Ways and Means be brought up. Mr. WILLIAMS was sorry that the question had been given up, and declared his belief that the abandonment would not satisfy the cluntry. I t Was hie intention to have voted for the inquiry, as he believed it was the wish of the Ro man Catholics to have it, and he regre ted that he had not had an opportunity of voting upon the main question. After a few words from Mr. ELLIOT, Mr. HENRY HERBERT insisted that the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire ought at once to move that the order be discharged. 2 .--(Hear.) Mr. MUNTZ said, it the Irish party sincerely wished to before the House again, w hy no t arrange F t riend the Member fo r N or th War thvaies the hir N e s. i t at o hbj l ec e h t itslin it br c oo o u me h on. He believed, however, that they were sincere,ompsoor they would not make interminable s p e eches for the sake of delay.—(Hear.) ColonelT a Nas anxious to come to a bond fide d e cision upon this subje c t, as he was pledged to his consti tuents not to vote in opp os i t i on to the College of Maynooth. After a few words f rom Mr. MANGAN and Captain SCOBELI, Mr. SOTHERON said th e c h aracter o f the House was being compromised by th e manner in which this question was being carried on, and he had therefore intended last night to move that the debate be adjourned for three months, but, owing to the empty stat e o f t h e b enches, he abstained' from doing so. He begged to give notice that in the event of the debate being resumed, he should move that amend ment (Hear, hear.) Mr. KEOGH defended the Irish Members from the charge of insincerity in desiring the continuance of this debate. The fact was that the insin ce rity was on the side of the Govern ment, and he would, with the permission of the House, show this to be the case. The Government had sent candidates to Ireland, and in many instances had supplied those candidate with money or with letters of introduction. He could mention, for instance, that the Secretary for Ireland had assisted ene of the cadidates in this way, and the House might form some opinion of the sincerity of the Government when he told them that their candidates pledged them selves, as public men, to support .the continuance of the Maynooth grant, and vote for the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. A Noble Lord, a Member of this House, had been sent over to contest Dungarvon, and in his address he dis tinctly stated that he was favourable to the Maynooth grant, and (Timed to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.— (Hear, hear.) Now he wished to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland whether he had not furnished the candidate with letters of introduction —money he did not want? Again the county of Waterford was being contested by Mr. Hutchinson, who was supported by all the influence of the. Govern ment; and in his first address he stated that he was in favour of the Maynooth grant, and ready to vote for the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. This address he issued in the morning, but he afterwards saw a clergyman of the Established Church, and an address came out in the afternoon without the passage to which he referred.— (Hear, hear.) The fact was the Government was a mass of insincerity, and the session of 1853 would prove as unsatis factory to their misguided supporters as the session of 1852. Lord NAAS nne quite willing to answer the general ques tion of the lion. and Learned Member. The speech which they had just heard from him was only another illustration of the deadly hostility which he entertained' to all Govern ments, but with regard to the accusations which it contained, he begged to state • that he entirely denied them.—(Hear, hear.) lie had never supplied any candidates with either letters or money, while his official duties would not allow him the 'time no write their addresses.—(bear.) As for the Noble Lord who was a candidate for Dungarvon, he had not the honour of his acquaintance, neither had he ever spoken to him; but, nevertheless, he must be permitted to state that he could see no inconsistency in a gentleman being a supporter of Lord Derby's Government, and yet not prepared to withdraw the Maynooth grant or vote in favour of the continuance of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.—(Hear, hear.) For his own part he should have voted for the motion of the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire, and he would take that opportunity of publicly announcing that he was not prepared without further inquiry to vote for a repeal of the Maynooth grant.—( Hear, hear.) Captain CORRIE said that he left the House this morn ing upon the understanding that no vote would be taken on the main question, or he should have remained in his seat.— (Hear, hear. ) Mr. B. OSBORNE was surprised to hear the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland taur.t his Hon. and Learned Friend the Member for Athlone with being an opponent to all Governments. His flon. and Learned Friend was only -the consistent opponent of those Governments which showed utter indifference to the wants of Ireland, and was rejoiced that Ireland had at length an advocate in that House who had the ability, the courage, and the will to make her wants known. The Noble Lord was not accused of writing the addresses of the candidates, but of wo r king upon them in an anderhanded manner.—(Hear, bear.) The Government was in fact no thing but an organized hypocrisy, and that hypocrisy was nowhere so disgustingly manifested as it was at this moment in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) He appealed to the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire to, move that the order be discharged for the sake of protecting his own reputation. Major BEItESFORD deprecated the waste of time in curred by this Maynooth question. With regard to the ob servation of the Honourable and Gallant Member who last addressed the House, that the Gc vernment were indifferent to the wants of Ireland, he could assure the House and the country that when the proper time arrived Government would be found ready and willing to redress such of the grievances in Ireland as might be proved in Parliament.—(near, hear.) Mr. BOUVERIE again appealed to the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire to discharge the order. Mr. SPOONER said he was satisfied with the division last night, and be did not intend to take any further steps in the matter himself.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HEYWOOD wanted to know some definite line of Ministerial policy on Maynooth. Mr. HEAOLASI 'thought Mr. Spooner ought to give an answer to the question which had been put to hires. Mr. SPOONER said it Was not his intention to take any further stein Mr. lIINDLEY observed that he moved the adjournment last night on the ground of common sense. The report was then received MR. " A RGUS O'CONNOR. Sir W. JOLLIFFE nominated the following Select Com mittee on a petition respecting hear us O'Connor, Eq. : Mr. Walpole, Mr. Vernon S mith. Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Baines, Mr. Mills, The O'Gorman Mahon, and Mr. Morgan John O'Connell. • Mr. F. FRENCH thought some disrespect had been shown to the Hon. Member for St. Alban's (Mr. J. Bell) is not placing him on the Committee, for he was the only Member who had taken an active part in this matter. Sir W. JOLLIFFE said:nis name had been omitted, as it was expected that his evidence would be of value to the Committee. MILITI A. SECRETARY at WAR, leave was sus end the ballot for the militia. CRIME AND OUTRAGE IN IRELAND. Mr. NAOIER moved for leave to bring in a Bill to con tinue an Act of the 11th and 12th years of her present Ma givOenn tthoebrnriontgioinn of a the 3 1 to jesty for the bettetr p r evention of crime and outrage in certain parts ' 3 Ireland. He said the necessity for bringing to the 13 ill rested on undisputed and in he Act which it proposed to Was originally passed in 1847, when Ireland was in a state of disturbance, and it had since e coercion and gagging been renewed by the late Government from time to time, and the late now was whether the circumstances at those separate periods, and the circumstances as they n _ rceonnetwroNf-oerrtiablefurfathc facts. period, mv existed were so substan a necessity for the Bill. It was easy Bills among those who had no actual knowledge of the provisions, but he considered that if the Bill was looked into it would be cryast o against creat found to be a wise and salutary measure.—( dear, hear.) t to ie g ilY et a u l p ik a e The ordinary law of the land was quite inadequate to cope with crime in Ireland at the present time. The Bill gave power to the Lord - Lieutenant, with the advice of the Privy Council, to proclaim any Y particular locality, and to send down an additional pee • - ee force, and in certain localities where crime was worst, to . Put in force the principle of the old Saxon law of charging the locality with the cost of the con stabulary, i n order to .. Make the inhabitants take an inte rest in the prevention of outrage. There was nothing coercive in a provision of that sort. The Bill also applied the White soy code T hos to te dist ricts which were in an insurrectionary ate. here was, I originally introduced h , an important provision which was persons who harboured Y the Hon. Member for Hull, making felons amenable to justice. The Bill also enabled the Lord-Lieutenant . I surrender of fire•ar re . t —B in proclaimed districts, and o pre vent their being carried, except by persons properly licensed. This would put a stop to the practices of these persons, who laid in wait even in broad noon day to take the blood of in nocent men. If the Aet, which had worked well and had been almini stere d without harshness and severity, was allowed to expire, the House would remove the only protection against outrage and crime in Ireland, and leave both property and life in a state of insecurity, He therefore thought he was not only justified, b ut bound in every sense of g responsibility, responsibility, to ask for the renewal of the Act. He thought it would be most injudicious to permit the cessation of those proclamations of the Lord-Li eutenant which were now in force, and had never. except in one case, been asked to be revoked. It was true there was no general disturbance in Ireland, but there existed a standing confederacy, which took advantage of every griev a ece, and of w hi c h E ng lishman could have n o idea; and he believed, indeed, very few understood its orga nization or real nature yet. It had complete unity of action, and-was Proved t o have extended its operation to Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, and other large towns. It fastened itself wherever a wrong was supposed to have been com mitted for the purpose of redressing it; it created such &reign of terror in the country that evidence for a prosecution could not be obtained ; and it a person did venture to give evidence he and his family were intimidated by threatening notices. So great was its influence, that even individuals of respect ability and standing were obliged to succumb to it, and hand over large sums of money. Everything in fact was absorbed in the vortex of a great confederacy. That being so, the Government would be a most unworthy oce which left the county without protection from a confederacy of such mag nitude. The Ilon and Learned Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Crime and outrage Act Mr. LAWLESS having opposed the first introduction of the Crime and Outrage Act, he felt it his duty to .op pose this attempt to continue its operation. It certainly was not fair of the Attorney-Geeeral to bring in this Bill .clt at so late a period of the session, the effect of which course of proceeding would be to keep Irish Members . in the Padre town two or three weeks before the end of . ment, depriving them of all opportunity of addressing their constituents befo re the general elect i on . He should give them every opposition in his power. Mr. SCULLY was sorry to see this Par liament, which had c ommenced in 184 7 the system of coercing Ireland, w as also ending its existence in the same course of legislation. They had it in evidence before the Crime and Outrage Com mittee, which had just been sitting, that this Act had proved t en intolerable nuim uce i n many parts of Ireland, and he WEDSDAY EVENING, .J IT N E 1 6, 1852. thought i was scarcely fair that the Government should endeavour to bring in a Bill of this na ture for districts in which crime was gradually decreasing both in the number and quality . of the offences, There was scarcely a quarter session or assizes throughout the whole of Ireland, in 1851, and in the spring of 1852, where the judges had not dismissed the juries, congratula ting them on the absence of crime. With regard to the Grime and Outrage Committee, he agreed that the result of its labours was to make out some sort of a case for the Go vernment as regarded a small part of the country, but even in that Committee the Government were obliged to withdraw a motion which had originally been made to insert in their report to the House a recommendation to renew this Act. It was, in fact, an entirely party measure. The Govern ment had refused to remove or meddle in any way with the causes of these evils, and it was unfair of them to be so eager to coerce the evils themselves. He would give his de termined opposition to this Bill, and he hoped that the Go vernment, seeing the futility of hoping to pass this Bill, would withira N it, as they had done many others. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD said he had always op posed coercive measures, and he should therefore oppose this Bill. He believed that agrarian outrages sprang entirely from the disordered state of the relations between landlord and tenant, and it would be useless to attempt any measures of this sort unless they applied themselves to remedy the causes which led to these outrages. Mr. ANSTEY considered this Bill as entirely useless. It would not touch the evils against which it was directed. The only persons who would obey the Bill when it passed into law would be those who were already loyal subjects, and those who were not loyal subjects w ou ld ne i t h er o b ey nor be coerced by this law. It was a milk-and-water, useless mea sure.—( Divide, divide.) Hearing that cry, he should cer tainly move that the debate be adjourned. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but none took place. On returning to the gallery we found Mr. KEOGH opposing the Bill on the ground that it was cruel and tyrannical, and no longer necessary, from the de crease of crime in Ireland. It had been proved before the Committee that the crimes were confined to a small area of about 10 miles, and yet they were now called on, for this reason only, to inflict a Bill of this nature on the whole of Ireland. Yet even in this district the testimony of the chief witness (Mr. Major) called by the Government showed that this Act had always been perfectly abortive, and had no effect whatever on any but loyal and peaceful subjects. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he con sidered this Bill was not one of coercion, but a measure of police. There we re a t p resent i n the gaols of Ireland a great number of prisoners under this Act, who, if it were not re newed, would be free to. morrow. Her Majesty's Govern ment were prepared at this moment to introduce remedial measures for Ireland, but they could not do that if they neglected to insure the state of order and tranquillity which it was necessary to foster, or if they gave a triumph to those who flagrantly violated not only the law of the coun try, but also the principlei on which the civilization of every country depended. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman had first called this Bill tyrannical, and next cited evidence to prove that it was futile. To show the utter nullity of the Act the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had quoted part of the evidence of Mr. Major, but if he went a little further into the evidence given by that gentleman, who had been extolled, and justly, as being a very eminent authority on the subject, he would find that his evidence was in favour of anything but a less restrictive power. He would find that that gentleman was in favour of a more extended system 0 4 .' domiciliary visits, that he spoke of the beneficial effects of the In surrection Act--though he acknowledged that he would be slow to recommend the renewal of that Act, supposing that some efficient alteration were made in the law. The Government, in the present state of affairs, could not take upon themselves the responsibility of allow ing this Bill suddenly to cease, and of letting loose upon the country those who were criminals only under its operation. The sentiments of the Government with respect to Ireland were those which they had always attempted to express out of office; their policy with regard to that country would be a policy which would attempt to develope the resources of the country, but they felt that they had no chance of accom plishing this unless they took every measure in their power to ensure the tranquillity of the country and vindicate the majesty of the law. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion ... , 140 Against it Christmas-day Mr. Edwards received a peremptory no tice to leav e Lemberg. His wife at the time was within four weeks of her confinement; there were other children in the homily; and in a most, iccleinent seasen of the year they were told that within six days they must travel 500 miles, and that if they did not set out force would be need. Mr. Edwards proceeded to Vienna end saw our ambassador, the Earl of Westmorland (who re ceived a princely income for doing nothing), but he re fused to interfere. It was not without great difficall that this unfortunate gentleman was able-to get back to Lemberg at all; to Escort his sick family and his wife to the frontiers of Prussia; and Lacy had no sooner crossed the frontiers, after a journey of no ordinary length and severity, than Mrs. Edwards gave birth to a dead child. That was the case of Mr. Ed wards, and to this day no ex planation bad been given of the sentence against him— an illegal s entence , becaus e it was t h e effect of a single mandateissued by the command of Prince Schwarz ea berg, who was now answerable elsewhere fur the deeds done in the flesh. Messrs. Smith and Wingate, on the sth of January following, received a notice to quit the Austrian dominions within five days. They too, appealed but in vain, to the Eoglish Legation, and to the tender mercies of the Austrians. The common precautions which humanity might have suggested to mitigate their lot was denied them. When Mr. Wingate (whose youngest child was in danger of d eat h) asked permission of the military Governor of Hungary that the child's nurse should be allowed to accompany them, he was flatly refused. The order went forth that no one should he permitted to attend them. and it wee only at half past twelve at ni g ht, at a b a ll w h ere the military Gover ner of Pesth was present, .that Ir.• W ingate , atie able to obtai n p er mi ss ion for a journey which was to begin at the dawn of day. In all these cases no reasons for the expulsion had been s . o much as hinted at, and opp or t un i t i es o f explanation were denied them. Neither the Earl of Westmorland nor his em bassy did what was their duty; but at the time they were in Vienna the American Ambassador, when the Earl of Westmorland would do nothing for them, gene rously placed his purse and his House at the disposal of geese distressed men. Those gentlemen had property hich, with the exception of one trifling article, they viere obliged to abandon to the mob or to the dishonest and spoliating Government of th e countr y. Th e G o • v'rnment of Great Britain, unless it was a coward and a bully, should act on the principle it had adopted in the case of Mr. Finlay. Vatel, Grotius, and others laid it down, that due notice should always be given to one na tion of the abolition of any custom in another. But here notice was given, and there was a forced sale of there goods; and yet Lord Maimesbury said they had no right to expect any redress. The final letter of his Lord ship stated, that the reply of the Austrian Government was— An HON MEMBER here moved that the House be cpuuted; and, it baitig found that only thirty-sevrn Mem 4, 'rs were present. the Ifouie stood adjourned, at a uarter to Eight, to Twelve o'clock this day. Majority ... Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. The Sheriffs of London appeared at the bar of the House, to present a petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Councilmen of London, praying for an alteration in the oath taken by Members of Parliament, and for the abolition of all religious tests; also another petition praying the House to pass a general measure for the whole metropolis to restrain the smoke nuisance. The House then adjourned at Ten minutes to Five until Seven o'clock. -12 The sitting was resumed at Seven o'clock. Petitions were presented by Mr. Lack' from the Pro testant women of Camberwell, praying for an inspection of nunneries; by Lord LEWISHAM from Wolverhamp ton, for repeal of the attorneys' certificate duty. Mr. HUMLE moved for returns giving an account of the manner in which the sum of 3531. 17s. ld., charged in the civil contingencies for 1850, and the sum of 8191. 35., charged in the Civil contingencies of 1851, were ex pended, under the several heads, for the funeral of the the late Duke of Cambridge; returns showing the nature of losses sustained by Sir R. Sandford, at the Cape of Good Hope, for which 5,0001. was paid from the civil contingencies of 1851; returns or accounts of the parti culars of the sum of 3 ,612/. 7a. 9d., paid as costa and expenses on account of the Smithfield-market Removal Bill, charged in the civil contingencies of 1851; of the particulars of 7,000/, charged on account of bills of costs as solicitor to the Attorney-General in lists re listing to charities in the civil contingencies of 1851; and of the particulars of the , manner in which 2,000/. was expended in Ireland in obtaining statistical information relative to the agricultural produce of Ireland; and copy of the order under which the inquiry was con ducted, and an abstract of the information collected. Agreed to. Oa tho motion of Mr. HUME copies or extracts of the correspondence were ordered relative to a treaty ne gotiated with the Sultan of Sooloo; also copy of the said treaty; and of any papers explaining why the ratifica tions of the same were not dilly exchanged; and of all pipers relative } o the late capture of the Islands of Soo loo by the Spanish forces, and of the annexation of that territory to the Spanish Crown. DR. REID AND THE VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE. Mr. HINDI:Ey asked the Chief Commissioner of Works what courie the Government intendt.il to pursue in reference to the report and recommendation or the Committee on the Ven•ilation crud Ligi:tin.; of the House; and whether Dr. 13:-id was to b restored to tho position h© occupied before 1846, and to have the charge of ventilating and Lghting tilt) tkotve and its appurte nancer, under the supervision of the Chief Commissioner of Works, assisted by a Committee of observation, to be appointed annually by the 1.1 ruse, in order to report their opinion as to the way in which the management i 3 conducted? Lord J. MANNERS said that, in the opinion of the Government, the recommendation of the Select C om , mittee was a very wise and prudent one, and there was every disposition on the part of the Government to carry it into effoct. In answer to the secocd qu est i on, which referred to the competent person allud e d to i n the recommendation of the S , lect Committee, at present he was not in a position to say who that cowpotent p erson , in the opinion of the Government, was likely to be. At the same time he could not sit down w i t h out ex pressing his individual opinion, that the s y stem of venti lation suggested by Dr. Reid had not received that amount of fair play which would enable it to b e p roper l y judged of.—(Hear, hear.) Ho did not wish it to be understood that ho was !low expressing more th an an individual opinion; but it would be unj ust to Dr. Roid if he sat down without expressing that opinion on his behalf.

Kingston and Sheetbridge Roads, with amendments. EXPULSION OF BRITISH SUBJECTS FROM THE AUSTRIAN DOMINIONS. Mr. C. ANS VEY rose to move the following resolu tion, of which he had given notice :—" That this House recognising the undoubted right of the Queen's subjects resident in foreign countries to the continual protection of her Majesty, in respect of their liberty, property, and other personal rights, and, considering that, in the case of the Rev. Messrs. Wingate, Smitb, and Edwards, ar bitrarily expelled from the Austrian dominions in the month of January last, with their wives and children, under circumstances involving much sacrifice of property and other hardships to the sufferers, those rights were violated, and that no redress has been hitherto ob tained for the violation, is of opinion that the case is one calling for prompt and earnest measures on the part of her Majesty's Government." He understood it was the intention of the Government to take measures for putting a summary stop to discussions upon the ease, but if they (lid resort to a count out, he was sure they would feel the consequences at no distant period. Not two years ago the House had been called upon to record their votes against a most tin-English resolution adopted in another place on the occasion of the Greek claims, the mover of that resolution being the Noble Lord now at the head of th e G overnmen t, an d on the 15th of March last, soon after Lord Milmesbury, to the misfor tune of this country, was installed in office, his Lordship informed Count Buol that he highly valued the friendly feeling expressed by Prince Schwerzenberg on the part of Austria towards this country. At that time Lord Malmesbury was fully aware of the facts which he (Vire Austey) was about to bring bef ore the House. Th e Government were making a premature and indecent at tempt in order to prevent his doing se, hut, while t he issue would he indifferent to bin], it would redouedon-iye Majesty's Ministers.

On the 101 h of De cemb..er, 1851, C ount Buol wrote to the Noble Lord the Inenibtr for Tiverton (Lord Paliners;,on), then et the head of the Foreign-office, and informed him that by way of retaliation upon England for protecting Kossuth an d his companions the Austrian Government intended sots to e to subject E ngl i sh trave ll ers , h owever innocent of the prejudi ce o f the Austrian G overnment, to evbe called exceptional measures o f precaution.

I think it very probable that my Noble Friend the Gallant duke, if entering upon a protracted campaign, o r about to fight a pitched battle on which the fate of an empire might depend, and which was to be tested by discipline , severe pressure, coolness under fire, firmness and sole diertlike qualities, would prefer a body of 10,0000 se' gular treeps to a body of 50,000 half-disciplined militia men.--(Hear, hear.) But in the case of a sudden invat sion of this country, and not for the purpose of keeping on a permanent force, what would be requ i re d wou ld not be so much organization and discipline ,is that in which the regular army would undoubtedly be deficient, viz" numbers and masses.—(Hear.) I believe it has been t , stated, over and over again, that the utmost amount er the regular army which at this moment could be drawn together for the defence of the country—setting asid e the troops in Ireland —would not exceed about 24,0 00 men; which, if th e 8,00 0 enrolled pensioners wee ° ' added, would give a total force of ' abent 32,000 men in all ter the defence of the couetry against such an' army as I have alluded to.
