The importance of the speeches delivered at the debates on the Address by Herr von Bismark and Count Eulenburg attaches interest to the full text of each, which has only just transpired. In the Upper House the Premier spoke as fol lows : " I have first to thank the movers of the Address, and the speakers by which it has been supported, for the kind appreciation they have expressed of the action of the King's Government. - In accordance with the view taken by the majority of the House for the home conflict, I permit myself to add a few words, which, although conveying nothing new, cannot be sufficiently repeated in face of themis representations by which they are obscured. The basis of constitutional life everywhere is compromise. The Prussian Constitution directs attention the more necessarily to this basis, as differing from many others it demands the unanimity of the three Estates of the Legislature with regard to the Budget. These, how ever, although not absolutely equal in respect to the Budget, are yet placed side by side as powers equally endowed with absolute rights. The Constitution does not impose upon either of them the obligations of subordinating itself to one or both of the others. Equally little does the Constitution invest one of the three-Estates witif-Aeright , of uttering & sic vo/o, sic__ jubeo, to which the others would have to bow. The easy plan of removing disputes between the two Houses of Parliament r by the Government undertak ing the duty of bringing the Upper House into accord with the Chamber of Deputies, by the nomination of members upon every occasion when -the Houses do not agree, I consider unconstitutional, because op posed to the spirit of the Constitution. It leads to the single Chamber • system, which in principle re quires an Upper House whose non-agreement with the Lower House cannot be at all imagined. It thoroughly undermines the institution of a House of Lords, a first Chamber, an Upper House, or whatever it may be called, which is just to be the exponent of a policy not following withfacility the opinions of the day, but constituting the regulator and ballast in the ship of the Parliament. That same experiment, which a Ministry might make, in order to bring a recalci trant Upper House by the nomination of members in accord with a Liberal Chamber of Deputies, would afterwards have to be repeated by a Conservative Ministry for the sake of a Conservative Chamber of Deputies, and it is by no means impossible that we may some day have a Conservative Chamber of Deputies. If we then had a Liberal majority in the Upper House, it would again have to be completed in the opposite sense, by which the number of the mem bers would soon become over full, and the Upper House be only a shadow of the Chamber of Depu ties, which is opposed to the spirit of the constitu tion. The constitution, I repeat, necessarily points in such divergences to the way of compromise. This way was abandoned by the resolution passed by the other house, Sept. 22, 1862—a resolution whose accomplishment was evidently impossible. I will not excuse; the steps taken by the Government in • power in this matter, but this much is certain, that when the present Government took office it found the dispute in such a stage that it could only settle it in a friendly manner by carrying out an impos sible resolution—not only impossible because the Budget of 1862, which was rejected in important particulars, was already exhausted, but also impos sible because it desired the Government to disband the army. This impossibility, as the speech fron the throne has pointed out, still continues. I an especially grateful to the movers for the delicate manner in which they have touched upon foreign policy. Every practical man of business is aware of the inconvenience attending the publication of pending negotiations, a process which either lays down our own object hastily and without the assent of the other party, or throws a false light upon that object in the eyes of the Power with which negotia tions are being carried on. The house may be assured that the interests of Prussia in the negotia tions now in progress shall be firmly upheld, and I may express my conviction that Prussian blood will not be found to have been shed in vain. (Loud cheers.) In criticising our foreign policy the Li berals have reproached us—and the reproach has also been made in anticipation by the other house — with having placed obstacles in the future resettle ment of the Duchies by our alliance with Austria. I believe, gentlemen, that the utility of this alliance during the past phase will be brought by the future into a stronger light than the circumstances at pre sent knoWn have been able to do, and than I my self am at the' present moment in a position to remained www hiath mi nto r o throw upon it. For the present I confine myself r. h to observing that, if we had not taken the course ido,wnaa in d twhaesmfruitlesslyaer recommended, in open nnadltoet ebstisoe: o h c foeinusrnvddauerrieecsaguldatet,vear that t y N o V f ould Fed tv a e l attempted to be carried out. Now it is evident that in a Federal war Austria would not only have parti cipated as a simple member of the Confederation, but as the presiding Power ; and that, besides Aus tria, and far more decisively than she has done, the majorityof the Diet would have influenced not alone the conduct of the war, but especially the ultimate resettlement of the Duchies. Even the gentlemen who offer that reproach will not maintain that we should have had to expect a more favourable con struction of Prussian interests from that majority than from our Austrian ally. I take it, they bring forward these reproaches in this manner simply be cause they do not follow out their consequences to the end, and do not clearly perceive what would necessarily have been the result if we had followed their advice. The notion that the war we have waged might have been waged by Prussia alone, after rejection of the Austrian alliance, takes us into a field of conjectural policy upon which I, for my part, in the official position I hold, must decline to enter; but thus much is certain, that we should not have obtained the assent of the German Federal Government to such a war without Austria ; that we should therefore Nava had, outside the Prussian army, to rely upon elements that had joined us either in opposition to, or at any rate without the consent of their Governments --they would not have been regular reference to a topic which mainly inte rests all at this moment, you will not, I am remarks mnn th sure, consider it as any want of confidence in your agreement with the Government, but will attribute my reticence to regard for the necessary restrictions imposed upon me by publicity." (Loud and con tinued cheers.) In the Chamber of Deputies Count Eulenburg, the Minister of the Interior, made the following speech I cannot allow the votes to be taken without first expressing, in the name of the Government, our satis faction that the mover of the Address in special has decency and imprinted u pon our discussion to-day a tone of rec onciliation to which we have long b the subject under debate I entirely agree h the mover , that the Gordian knot of our dif ference rests in the military question and in the etoaaiofa also fall away. I ask consequences thereto attached. The present Minis try found a situation which it had not introduced, an d would not have occasio ned had it at that time been able to exert decisive influence. But it also f o und a situation wh ich it could neither give up nor remove without surrendering the rights of the Crown. As the mover of the Address ver y correctl y stated, we have bee n there by — like the majo rit y of the house more o r less—forced into positions which we should never hav e tak en up had we fou nd res integra upon our accession to offi ce. The q uestion in dispute existing position—a posi twhich the consequences connected iwith is th to remove th e erre removal y would nll you, gentlemen, to realise to yourselves for a mo ment the essence of this military question. Picture to yourselves a monarch, soldier to the heart's core, who thoroughly comprehends:in all its vast import ance the utility of his army to himself and his coun try ; whose thought and endeavour it has long been to give this force institutions guaranteeing its power and safety, and conducting it towards a state of ex cellence calculated to maintain its rank as one of the first armies of Europe. Picture to yourselves a monarch who, finally believing he has discovered such institutions, calls them provisionally into ex istence with the consent of trig representatives of the country, and considers their execution so necessary that he does not abandon them even at the risk of the country being without a Budget. Picture to yourselves, next, a war—a victorious war—a war waged by the army under the guidance of its new organisation, and reflect upon the very natural in ference that victory might perhaps have been at tained without the new organisation, but that con quest would not have been so secure, not so tho roughly a consequence of discipline—not, if I may so express myself, so neat—as under the conditions which have been justified and upheld in this war. Picture to yourselves further, that the dangers which had been thought attached to having no Budget have not been proved to exist ; and will you then demand of such a Monarch to retire from his work in favour of which all facts speak, and to say, ' I and my Government will seek a isnAtirTerstanding by des .. ing a portion of that labour ,whiCh has made I 3 russia . great ?' That, gentlemen, is impossible, quite impossible. Neither the present Monarch of Prussia, nor any King of Prussia, so long as we live, will give up even one tittle of the principles of this army reorganisation and of the legal conditions with which he believes it to be necessarily bound up. And remember, gentlemen, that the Kings of Prus sia have a stronger existence than a Chamber of Deputies chosen for three years. Gentlemen, if you admit that I depict the _situation as it lies before the eyes of all, you will not be able to exclude the con viction that the Government cannot be moved in this point to concession ; and therefore I think you will act wisely not to make the military question the touchstone of your right to vote the Budget, for therein lies the evil. You have fought for and against the advisability of this organisation for a shorter or longer term of service ; but all these questions cannot be of such importance to you that you should cling to them with peculiar tenacity, if you did not at the same believe that the defence of your position therein was connected with the defence of the claim to vote the Budget advanced by you. Gentlemen, give up the idea of trying your right upon the military question ; seek some other topic, some other field upon which you may think it advisable to prove the validity of your right, although it may perhaps be difficult to discover ; for you will find the Government ready, so far as existing circumstances do not render it impossible, to attach that interpretation of the letter of the law upon which you have taken your stand. Let the military question vanish from the stage, and it will then serve us as a lesson for future times. The fight we now fight for the last three years, and which, if you do not give up this point, we. must continue to fight on for an incalculable time, may in that case still be of service to the country, and contribute more towards the development of con stitutional life than you imagine. Do not, gentle men, leave the proofs of such patriotism to your successors, but set yourselves to work as rapidly as possible to make Prussia united, and thereby as great and as strong as she deserves to be.

The Loss of the Colombian, West Indian and Pacific Mail Steamer. NARRATIVE OF A SURVIVOR. Our Liverpool correspondents have been furnished with the following account :—The Colombian left Liverpool on the evening of Wednesday, Jan. 11, and proceeded down Channel, meeting with very heavy weather. On Thursday she encounteredethe full force of the hurricane, which has proved so disastrous to steamers. The sea was very heavy, but the steamer kept steadily on her way. During the day the two lifeboats and captain's gig were washed away, and the cook fell overboard and was lost. The hurricane con tined to increase in fury during Friday, the sea, continually breaking over the vessel, and partly filling the engine-room with water. All hands were set to pump and bale the water out of it, but in vain. By midnight the fires were extin gnished,the jolly-boat was washed away and also a quarter master. The captain now determined to put back to port. The ship was put about and sail set, in order, if possible, to reach Falmouth. The storm continued with unabated fury during Saturday, and the sails were considerably blown away and replaced by others. On Monday, at 2 p.m., the schooner Rocket was spoken, and in answer to their signals of distress, came within hailing distance, when endeavours were made to get a rope on board. The crew were anxious to leave the steamer and go on board the schooner, but Capt. Bennett refused to allow them, being confident of get ting his ship into port safely, but arranged that the schooner should remain by them all night. While the moon was up they kept her in sight, but it afterwards came on thick and they lost her. The wind veering round, the steamer fell off to the south-east, and at midnight efforts were made to wear her to the westward, to keep her off the French coast. The sea was so heavy however that they could not get her round. Just before daylight on Tuesday, the look-out on the fore topsail yard descried the light on the island of Ushant. When daylight dawned, the land was plainly seen, and the ship's course shaped for the harbour. At 5 a.m. she struck on a sunken rock off the east point of the island, and remained bumping heavily for three-quarters of an hour, when she fell off, but immediately began to fill. The crew now saw that she must inevitably founder, and set about to make rafts. In about an hour she went down stern foremost off a reef of rocks called La Hille. All the crew were drawn down with the ship. The three survivors rose to the sur face and succeeded in getting hold of the pig -sty, whi c h kept them afloat until the pilot-boat which had witnessed the disaster came to their rescue and took them to the Conquet. The French Admiral stationed at Brest has caused every search to be made for the bodiesof those that perished with the vessel, but without success. Metropolitan Railways, The report to the Metropolitan Board of Works on the various bills to be promoted in the next ses- sion of Parliament, for railways and other improve ments in the London district, has besn drawn up and presented by their engineer, Mr. Bazalgette. A professional statement of what lines we may expect to get, at least, as far as asking for & Parliamentary licence to ride over us, cut through us, and tunnel under us, and the probable effect of their various operations on the metropolis itself, must have con siderable interest. There is a certain degree of public curiosity, also, as to what are the prospects of the City proper as a place of habitation for the future. It is becoming doubtful how much of it at the present rate of destruction will be left. If this feeling has risen to anything like alarm, the open ing passage of the report is somewhat reassuring. The bills to be submitted during the coming session for these works—not exclusively railroads, however —are not so numerous as those of last year, " nor are the contemplated projects of so extensive and costly a character." Even with this qualification there are 33 bills to be proposed for the sanction of the Legislature, in volving 47 schemes for the metropolis, under which 94 main and branch lines of railway will be con structed, or about 104 miles in all. Of other de scriptions of improvements 14 different schemes are contemplated. The whole capital proposed to be raised and expended by authority of all these acts, within or for the benefit of the metropolis, is about £17,000,000. Among all these schemes, only one —the Eastern Underground Railway—has applied for powers under a certificate from the Board of Trade. The following is a brief recapitulation of the railway schemes to which Mr. Bazalgette's re- port refers : " The Metropolis Sewage and Essex Reclamation Bill is one of the most important of the bills as affecting the nterests of the metropolis. Five or six railways are pro posed to branch from the principal 'northern railways in a northerly direction towards Enfield, Alexandra-park, Chip ping Barnet, Rickmansworth, and the suburbs. It is in tended to carry one of the branches of the Edgware, High gate, and London Railway by open cutting through Fins park, which would completely sever and destroy that park. Branches from the Blackwall Railway into the Isle of Dogs are again proposed. An underground line to Limehouse is projected, starting from the Metropolitanßailway at King's cross. A railway is proposed with a new bridge over the Thames from the Great Western Railway to Brentford and Kingston, forming a junction with existing lines at Merton; also a direct line from Clapham Junction to Kingston. Three companies seek to connect the railways north and south of the Thames on the eastern side of the metropolis by passing under the Thames; two of them by making use of the existing Thames Tunnel, and the third by a new tunnel to be formed under the river near Blackwall. It is also proposed to lay pneumatic tubes under the bed of the Thames for a railway from Waterloo Station to Whitehall, and numerous other minor connecting railways are con templated. Some street improvements are proposed to the Metropolitan Board of Works, and other local improve-. month are projected. It is also intended to seek powers to inclose Wimbledon-common." The Select Committee of the House of Lords in its report on the Railway Bills of last Session, made some recommendations as to the heavy traffic in goods and minerals crossing from the north to the south of the Thames "by lines not passing through the centre of the metropolis." This recommend tion, Mr. Bazalgette states, was not provided for by the bills sanctioned during the last session, or only imperfectly. But the East London and Thames Tunnel Railway proposes now to supply this great desideratum by supplying in the east of the metropo lis a link between the lines on the north and south banks of the river. There are two other railways proposing to effect a similar junction between the river shores in the same districts of London. As the Board of Works is the only public body that can represent the whole of the metropolis, it cannot • allow the immense district under its charge to be cut and carved entirely according to the inte rest of the great railroad companies. In the acts of last year the Board took some steps for the protec tion of the interests of the inhabitants of the City. Without this imperfect representation, obtained quite , a outside differen the purpose, Lord Mayor's i theay o more by chance than anything els e, and created for o ver ther hear but little of the changes sweepin g a i et t e r ecommends property till, too late. Mr. Bal al g r r e , s s idieurnistsdoi f ai t o h n e,mweotuirod- affecteddistrict, b to y : b r e e f w o r o u r l ks a . n d A r n e d c n f s a t n r e s t e ' w ' the ers a s r e e ;v i e n r t a e g r we f p t t h e e d o d r is c t u ri t c b t y t t h b r e ou ra g i h lro m a d d li o ch pe i r t a p ti a o ss ns es t , he o c r om th p a a t n is y is compelled to pay the Board - of Works any addi tr- iniogn the e c o ß s t o a o r f d p h u a m s to )in g i n , c s u u r p . e r T v i h s e i o samen , and bo d e y n a n m e e cl and intends still to assert, a certain amount of con trol over the construction of railway bridges cross ing public roads in London. These indispensable edifices are a new feature of our thoroughfares, and not a pleasing one. We shag in time become recon ciled to their ugliness, though the later use of them as placarding stations makes them uglier than neces sary. But with the outward appearance of these bridges the Board of Works has nothing to do. Its dconcernents and i s solelystrength, with f o s such c h points which are detailed in the report. We notice the omission of any provision touching decoration, merely asking all the new companies if they cannot do something for the as pr thin eca e u ns tio io n n sl gr k: their road bridges in the same spirit as the London, Chatham, and Dover Company have done for their bridge over the river. An act of Parliament is now all that the patents from the Crown were in the days of the Stuarts. The monopolx,obtained cannot be resisted, and if the directorS`Nould allow their • ngineers to rise a step or two above the sordid and repulsive the public would take it as a favour at their hands. All the conditions the railways have been subjected to at the instance of the Board of Works appear to be essential to the very existence of the foot, and horse, and wheel traffic of the metro polis. There are a few other railway bills, nine in number, which Mr. Bazalgette does not take into consideration, as their works will not come under the jurisdiction of the Board. The following six proposed lines—East London and Thames Tunnel ; Metropolitan and South London (Thames Tunnel) ; Blackwall, Greenwich, and Woolwich ; Waterloo and Whitehall ; Fulham ; the King's-cross, Islington, and Limehouse ; and the London, Blackwall, and Millwall Extension—as, Mr. Bazalgette reports, " not only interfere with portions of the Main Drainage sewers, but also with the sewers through which the works pass." There is no special clause in the last-named bill protecting these important works, and the report advises that such a protection should be introduced. Of the new lines, probably the most remarkable is that proposed under the name of the Waterloo and Whitehall Railway. This is a pneumatic line, not for the conveyance of letters and parcels only, not an iron tube like the gigantic pipe between the Post-office and Euston-square ; it is an extension of the plan that has been for some time ex hibited in operation in the grounds of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. The tunnel admits a full-sized omnibus carriage, which is propelled by a pressure of the atmosphere behind the vehicle, produced by les- sening the density of the air in front. It is an under ground railway, worked without locomotives. The proposed line will rim in a tunnel under the Thames, and open a communication between Whitehall and the Waterloo station, near Vine-street. As a means of communication between one part of London and another this line will be quite an experi ment. Of all the railroads in Mr. Bazalgette's list, minute details are given of how and to what extent the works will affect the existing sewerage, and suggestions are made of the course to be adopted in each case ; but most of these particulars are given in too technical a form for extract. A note informs us that the Crystal Palace High Level Railway has been withdrawn. The report - then deals with the miscellaneous im provements other than railroads. All the opera• tions they render necessary within the jurisdiction of the Board of Works will of course require a similar vigilance on the part of those who represent the public. The following is the list of schemes proposed :—The Metropolis Sewage and Essex Ac clamation ; Limehouse Basin and Cut; Whitechapel and nolborn Improvements ; Piccadilly and Park lane New-road Improvements ; Courts of Justice Concentration ; St. Clement Danes Improvement ; Public Offices Site and Approaches, Westminster ; India Office Site Approaches, Westminster ; Westminster Improvements ; Hyde Park-gate Estate ; South Kensington New-road ; London field Purchase and Appropriation ; Wimbledon common Improvements, and West London Docks and Warehouses. • A Bill promoting an Essex reclamation in connec tion with the metropolitan sewage almost explains itself. What the Board of Works has completed the present scheme is intended to utilise on the coast of Essex, by rendering fertile the present waste shores at Ray Sands, Dengie Hats, and the Foulness and Maplin Sands. As the works contemplated by this bill are mostly beyond the jurisdiction of the Board, Mr. Bazalgette merely states the course of the conduits and the nature of the operations without comment. But the bill is remarkable if only for the fact that it is the first on the list of actual proposals to carry into effect a measure that has long been desired and often suggested, but never attempted, from the general conviction that the plan was a prac tical impossibility. There are two bills for the im. provement of Piccadilly and Park-lane, but of these we learn only that they are " promoted by the Board of Works." A bill is required for the acquisition of a site for the concentration of the courts of jus tice, between Carey-street and the Strand, Cle ment's-lane and Bell-yard. But the only concern of the Board with this improvement is an anxiety that the building, if erected, may not be allowed to interfere with the Essex-street main sewer. The St. Clement Danes Improvement Bill conceals half its merits under such a general title. It will be sweep r r aapwparyeciHywateeidaseia measure et. that, Th l str has done part of the work, but t he g reat clearance rem ains to be made between St. Clement's Church and St. Mary's, in the Strand. In the place of -ee if passed, ed Hel will these old decaying dwellings are to be erected houses for the working classes, chambers and offices connected with the Courts of Justice, and shops. These combined improvements, if effected, will be among the most striking changes in modern Lon don. Bills are also to be proposed in the coming Session to obtain sites for new public offices and the new India-office, between the new Government buildings and Gardner's-lane, and Duke-street and King-street, Westminster. A new street is to con nect Victoria-street and the Broadway, and another is to continue the Horseferry-road into Rochester row. The communication between South Kensing ton and Belgrave-square is to be improved, and the report closes with a brief reference to the proposed improvements on Wimbledon-common. Should these bills be sanctioned the Session of 1865 will leave a very perceptible mark on the present metro Polls, both in the centre and at the outskirts. a f e e i r th en r c f e o to r --- DEATH FROM CRINOLINE. —Om Wednesday last ffice the o a I S solicitor Ellen Sykes, aged 27, the wife of William Sykes, went to the chemical works of Mr. Carr, Knostropp. near Leeds, child in one of the rooms, her where her husband works, and while playing with her expanded by crinoline, was waught by some revolving machinery.

STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, Jan. 27.—The quietness and de pression reported on Tuesday have become more marked as the week has progressed, and to-day we have had an almost total absence of demand in most . departments of business, with very little doing in any. Prices are again weaker, and are exceedingly irregular. The accounts telegraphed of the Liver pool cotton-market have been very discouraging to day, and have had a bad effect on this market. The business in shipping yarns have been very quiet, with scarcely anything doing; and, in order to make sales, spinners would have to submit to a further reduction in prices. In home_ trade yarns sellers report the market almost a standstill; with very irre- gular prices. Both in home trade and export yarns the market closes quiet, with a declining tendency. In cloth, also, prices appear still to tend downwards; and among buyers there seems to be a general dis- trust in the stability even of the present low rates. There have been a good many offers for cloth to- day, but at exceedingly low rates. The offers mak ing, indeed, are pretty generally on the basis of about 2s. per lb. for shirtings, and these offers apply almost exclusively to goods in stock, but we do not hear of such terms being accepted. Manufacturers are not at present prepared to adopt such a low standard. There have been sellers to-day willing make some reduction, and in such cases there has been some amount of business done for goods in stock, but it has not been of much extent. There seems to be quite an indisposition to give time for contracts. Buyers, as a rule, will only purchase where cloth is available for shipment, and if any thing like a long date for delivery is mentioned by manufacturers it puts a stop to nearly all treaties for business. LEEDS, 27th.—The following is the trade report of the Leeds Chamber of commerce for the month of January :—" In the woollen trade, at the open ing of the new year, there was a fair increase of business, quite as great as could reasonably have been expected. There has been a better feeling in the halls, and for the reason a moderate amount has been done in thewarehouses. The manufacturers are generally very fairly employed. The woollen cap trade is brisker. Since last report there has been a full average demand for colonial wools of nearly all descriptions, and prices have been quite firm. There has not been so much done in English long wools, and prices are barely maintained. tinder the circumstances, however, they have been more so than might have been expected. There has been a mo derate business done in flaxes at fair prices, which have, however, been in favour of the buyer. Fine tows have been in fair 'request, but lower sorts have been dull, and prices are lower. The spinners are working full time, but orders have been very scarce and prices are weaker. The unsettled state of the 'cotton-market has no doubt caused great hesita tion in entering into operations. Threads are with out much change. The makers of best iron are very fairly employed, and the inquiry for it is pretty good. For lower sorts there is less demand, and the makers are slack. The machine and tool trades both continue good. The locomotive and railwayb plant manufacturers are without change. been a good demand for rape and linseed oils during upwards. the month, and prices are firm, tendingresent, but rimi of te:e b . us d. in Th ess e The seed markets are rather easier at t m p ents of lin higher prices are paid for spring lsnsPbeen done in seed, and a very large bus consumption, and London.

The tanning trade is also improving. The shoe trade s till continues to be very quiet. The demand for market is well supplied with rags, prices being sta tionary . There has been full a supply of fat cattle Num ber 'shown (four markets—cattle, 2,035; sheep, 13,210). There has been a good supply of wheat. The business done has been limited, and prices have been weaker. Ba rleys, excepting finer sorts, have been dull. Oats and beans without much change. NOTTINGHAM, 27th.—There was a limited attend ance at this Exchange-Hall to-day, and only a moderate share of business was done in lace yarns at about the rates of last week. The demand for hosiery yarns was also slow, prices being without material change. Silks quite as dear. In brown nets there was very little doing, and prices, if any thing, were in favour of the buyer. A collision occurred on Tuesday in the port of Havre between the Honfleur steamer Courrier and the packet Dumfries, of the Southampton line. The former received such damage that she was forced to go at once into dock. ROYAL CAMBRIDGE MUSIC HATJ„ Commercial-street, Shoreditch. (Close to the Great Eastern Terminus'. Sole Proprietor, Mr. G.
