Mr. WALPOLI , 3 said that the Filtoriest ti,eo in which application for remission of a life s .nteneo was 20 y,ars transport at i•et, clad) he considere:l a very terrible punish ment. Ail tratwpqrtation to Australia would cease in a very few months, and the question that natu ally presented itself was, what was to lie done with those on whom transportation wool" have been inflicted. He had considered the matter very fully, and it appeared to him that scene place should be fount near the United Kingdom where the worst. class of offenders should be sent. to undergo the most t.3vere punishment. He agreed that all hope must not be destroyed, because if that were done it would totally destroy the object of punishment, viz., the reformation of the offender. The matter Was under the most serious consideration of -the Government, and when a final determination was come to it would at once he communicated to the house. It is to scare great national results like these that the Commissioners now g.) out to Paris.

These visible evidences of our food and mineral wealth, officially shown to be scattered broadcast through the Continent—the corn of Illi nois and the central portion of the Mississippi Valley standing from twelve to sixteen feet in height—the wheat of the young North-west just beginning to grow by the side of the cereals of the older Sta'es, but ere long to be counted by hun dreds of millions of bushels—the gold and silver so providentially laid up for the use of the Republic, and now richly outpouring from the metalliferous ranges and valleys of our great interior, needing for their full development only the means of railway access soon to be provided—not to mention our iron, lead, copper, zinc, and quicksilver, and above all our co d, with its almost incalculable power— will all be kept for seven months, prominent and conspicuous in the ".Palace," as living witnesses to to be daily examined by the European world. The story they will tell will be repeated from mouth to mouth, from the Atlantic to the Volga. Penetrating the inmost recesses of Europe, can the intelligence fail to reach 'and' to animate the over worked, under-fed, labouring millions longing for a country offering such a refuge from penury and want? Who will undertake to measure the pecu niary and political effects of such au exhibition, in, swelling that vast and " solemn stream" of emi gration, which has been flowing for the last forty years in such ample volume from the Old World to the New ? The present population of Europe is about 290,000,000, having slowly but steadily increased since the general peace of 1815. The yearly rate of increase in France has been little more than one half of one per cent. ; in Prussia (before the recent conquests), between one and two per cent. The annual increase in the whole of Europe may there fore be assumed to be from one-half of one per cent. to one per cent., or, in round numbers, on the existing population of 290,000,010, about 2,000,000 annually. From this number Europe can readily spare, and the American Union can easily take, at least 500,000 yearly. In the forty years from 1820 to 1860 we took from Europe 4,512,171 emigrants. The num ber in the year 1866, just closed, falls a little short of 275,000, a majority of whom were Germans. At the present rate we shall re ceive 5,500,000 in the next twenty years. It surely is among the gravest of the political problems of the present century, and should be among the highest aims of American statesmanship to accelerate and yet regulate, within wise limits, and by proper and efficient agencies, this mighty movement of the population of Europe into our broad continental Republic. In the solution of such a problem can any moral element be imagined of moreimportauce than a full and accurate knowledge, by the whole people of Europe, of the immensity and accessibility of our two great national resources—our food and our pre cious metals—and the certainty that wealth, with all its comforts and powers, is fully within the reach of every European emigrant to this country, bringing with him habits of economy and in dustry. A discussion on Flogging in the Army was raised by Mr. OTWAY, who moved a resolution declaring the punish ment to be unnecessary in time of peace, advancing in a lengthy speech the usual arguments—that it is inhuman and degrading, that it is unnecessary for maintenance of discipline, that it has no reforming influence, and that it checks recruiting. Major ANSON, in seconding the motion, gave some interesting statistics of military offences, showing that the lash has no deterrent effect, and suggested the experiment of suspending the punishment for a twelvemonth by gene ral order. Mr. MOWBRA.Y resisted the motion, as a revolution in the discipline of the army for which no sufficient reason had been given. He went at length into the military re turns to show that the punishment was inflicted for fewer offences than formerly; that fewer men were flogged, and that the number of tualics -vv.q much fearer; and; whilu pointing out the inconvenience and impossibility of apply ing a general rule of abolition to all the stations of the Bri tish army, he assured the house that the Commander-in- Chief and the military authorities were auxiou3 to use the punishment within the narrowest limits. As to the brutality of the punishment, he argued, by referring to the numer ous crimes to which it had been applied by recent legisla tion, that public opinion was not revolted by it. Captain VIVIAN'S objection to the punishment was that its degrading character lowered the soldier's calling in the eyes of the rest of the community, for he admitted that it was now very mildly applied, so mildly as to have lost its deterrent effect. Most commanding officers would gladly dispense with corporal punishment if they had greater facilities of getting rid of bad characters. Col. HERBERT defended flogging as the only effica cious punishment which could be inflicted in many cases, and as saving us from the necessity of a sterner code like that of the French army. He deprecated the motion as an injurious interference with the discipline of the army. Mr. B. OSBORNE replied that interference with dis cipline was the stereotyped cry by which all motions of the sort were resisted, and strenuously supported the resolu tion, as it was by the House of Commons alone that all important army reforms had been initiated. The motion was supported by Captain Gnoswircon and opposed by Sir C. RUSSELL. Sir J. PAKINGTON pointed out that under the regula tions of 1861—which were about to be incorporated with the Articles of War—no man could be flogged except for gross and repeated offences, and that the English military code was really more merciful than the French, Prussian, Austrian, or even the United States' codes. Tho Com mander-in-Chief and the Adjutant-General were Of opinion that it would be fraught with danger to part with this rem nant of corporal punishment, and ho was bound, therefore, to oppose the motion. Gen. PEEL insisted that the retention of this punish ment was necessary for the maintenance of the discipline in an army enlisted as ours was, that it was a protection for the good men, and that if it were abolished in time of peace it could not be retained for war. Mr. WHITEBREAD urged that the abolition of flog ging would be a great assistance to recruiting. After some further discussion, in which Colonel North, Captain Hayter, and Mr. D. Bromley joined, the motion was carried by a majority of 1-108 to 107. In Committee of Supply, a number of votes on ac count were taken for the Army and Navy and Civil De partments. Several orders were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock. The Pans Extifinticn. ITS INFLUENCE ON EMIGRATION AND THE PUBLIC NEW YORK, February 7, IS(7. To the lion. 0. 11. Browning, Secretary of the We venture to assert thnt the one rnagnificent specimen of the silver ore of Idaho, taken from the inmost heart of our broa.l interior, and lately exhi bited to the Committee of Congress at Washington, when carried out to Paris for the examination and wonder of Europe, will suffice, of itself, when shown to the working multitudes, to set in motion west ward, across the Atlantic, front ten t') twenty thou sand emigrants yearly. • It has been statistically ascertained, by the actual experience of the twenty years from 1840 to 1860, as disclosed by the census, that the average money value of every European emigrant reaching this country, irrespective of any property he may bring with him, is $1,030, varying somewhat with the productive power of the locality he may select. A still higher average would be found for skilled labourers, and that, too, apart from the diffusible value of the skill itself. An increased emigration of only a single ten thousand would, at the rate of $l,OOO each, add to the wealth of the United States $10,000,000, a sum nearly forty-fold the amount required for the perfect exhibition at Paris of all the products of the industry and art of the United States, in every department, and also for the care ful study, by competent scientific assistants, not only of the products, but of the processes of all other nations. If the more perfect knowledge of our country, spread in various languages through Europe by the efforts of the Commissioners, should add, as it well gr ma a y n , ts so f 0 , years —increasing by only a the to en the ex t a2voerage year ly number of emi r million, thelpre-existing rate, exceeding 4,000,000 for the last 20 years—the money value of that million to the country wo uld be $1 „000000 , 000 not to speak of the geometrically increasing value of the descendants of the million for ages to come. The incessant accumulation of wealth to the Ameri can Union, resulting from this giant process of importing population by the million, affords a basis for its public credit not enjoyed by any nation on the globe. This immense but peaceful exodus of civilised men, already operating on a scale so vast, and so far tralscending any past example in human his tory, furnishes, in truth, a cardinal, if not the dominant fact, for estimating not only our pro spective growth, but the future cxnparative rank of the two worlds—bringing within the reach of mathematical demonstration the epoch. when the power of the Western Continent, fiscal and political, must fully equal that of the Eastern. The coming concourse at Paris of the civilised nations from both hemispheres will furnish an op portunity not soon again to be enjoyed for the proper comprehension and discussion of such a question. On the part of the United States it can not be, adequately presented without full and accu rate maps of our unoccupied territory now open to the European world, embracing nearly two millions of square miles, accompanied by official statements of the natural products in the different portions, with documents authentically showing the progress and present condition of our continental railways and other means of interchange between the grand divisions of the Republic from ocean to ocean. For this official information, duly certified, the undersigned, in behalf of himself and his col leagues, now respectfully applies to the enlightened head . of Department of the Interior, and to the various bureaus. under his direction, as being domain and the material sta tistics of the United specially charged with the care of the public S AMU EL B. RUGGLES, States. With high respest, your obedient servant, Commissioner of the United St a tes for the Paris colleagues. himself and Exposition, for Sir,—ln a recent interview I had the honour to present verbally to your consideration the import ance of strengthening the Commissioners of the United States to the " Universal Exposition" at Paris, by such documents, official statements, and maps, duly authenticated by the Department of the Interior, as might fully exhibit the magnitude and extent of our physical resources. Pursuant to your request to reduce to written form the views then expressed, I now respectfully claim, in behalf of myself and my colleagues in the Commission— _ 1. That the due exhibition to the nations of the civilised world of the principal material elements of our national wealth and strength must inevitably elevate our national credit. Among those elements stands pre-eminent our cereal and our mineral products. Other elements of much importance exist in our diversified machinery, mechanical in ventions, and manufacturing industry, and will be represented at Paris to a fair extent ; but it may be safely claimed that the food and the minerals of the American Union are the very foundation, the imperishable and constantly widening basis of its national power. Impressed with this conviction, the Commis sioners have actively exerted themselves, in the brief period which has elapsed 'since their appoint ment in August last, to collect, by appeals to the American people, adequate evidence in proper visible specimens of these two cardinal elements of our national strength. Even with the scanty aid fur nished by Congress, these efforts have met with dratifying success, but they may be materially aided by the timely co-operation of the department of the interior, in furnishing official information, autho ritatively showing the abundance and variety of these elements, and especially their widespread geographical distribution. In the comparison which will be made in the coming concourse of nations of the cereal and metal lic strength of the different portions of the world the United States can be placed in the foremost rank. With such a pre-eminence clearly established, the question must immediately present itself to Europe, why should the United States, possessing material resources so abundant and unexampled, pay from eight to nine per cent. for money whiletensdmeavlelnerfaoluidr feebler nations readily borrow at five per cent. ?

IMPERIAL PARLIAnENT 110 USE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The Loiw CHANCELL ut took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PETITION. Lord .LIFFORD pitesented a petition from the inhabi aits of Dorry, in the county Data, in Ire!and, against the de of spirituous liquors nn the Sabhat 11. TURKEY AND SERVIA.. L , rd DERBY said that as he saw that there was a n o tice on the paper relative to the question bt:tween the Porte and Servia, he thought that. he could save all trouble in the matter by laying upon the table of their lordships' house the particulars of the arrangement which had been made between the Porte and Servia. The Pone had consented to make over to the Servians the privileges which they required, and that the Servian flag should in future be respected, and that the Ottoman Government would in future do away with the distinction between iem and the Servians —that in future they should enjoy the same privileges. In a telegram received this day it was stated that three Servians had been elected members of the Legislative Assembly, and that other important appointments had been made. The greatest enthusiasm with regard to the arrangements prevailed in Servia. (Hear, hear.) Lord RUSSELL was very much gratified to hear of these concessions, and considered that it would be the in troduction to still greater advantages. (Hear, hear.) Lord DERBY, in reply, stated that this would involve no loss of suz.'irainty of the Porte. The subject then dropped. THE QUESTION OF REFORM. Lord GREY having presented a petition on this sub ject, said there were many anomalies which it was neces sary on the introduction of any bill to take special notice of. The Universities ought to be properly repre sented, and particular regard ought to be had to the fact. that members of the legal profession should have the op portunity of sending to Parliament those persons whom they thought most competent to perform functions of the law officers of the Crown. Another point was the present system in great municipal constituencies. In the petition before their lordships there was a clause relative to the ad mission of the educated class to the franchise. Now he thought that there ought to In special constituencies to meet that necessity. There was a point against which, in granting an extension of the franchise, it. was most important to guard against•, that was the giving au eaten-' sion without, at the same time, giving a preponderance. The persons who were to be enfranchised were so much alike in their relation of life that any measure must include the whole number, which con stitute a very prominent class. Now there were two objec tions. On the one hand they might be sacrificing those who were local ; then, on the other, they might be doing an injustice to the other. It was perfectly apparent that the present period was one of crisis, and that the question between the employer and employed was becoming of most vital importance, and it was necessary that some step in the direction of an adjustment in these matters should take place. He (Lord Grey) believed that so divided welre the people of the country into the two parties of Tory and Liberal that it would be found that the mem bers who were elected under an extension of the franchise would be much the same as they were now. He had no sympathy with that measure, which would involve penal prescription upon those who voted under the influence of a bribe. He believed that there would always be a class of such venal partisans who would gradually spread such a system. -, ------ The house then went into committee upon the Traffic Regulation (Metropolis) Bill, in the provisions of which Lord BELMORE introduced several modifications. Lord SHAFTESBURY made an appeal on behalf of the " sandwiches," or perambulating boardmen, who would be prohibited if the bill passed, iu which he was supported by Lord HOUGHTON. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY 7 with Lords KIMBERLEY and DE GREY, on the other hand, condemned the adver tising boardmen as nuisances, and their views ultimately were adopted, the clause passing without alteration. The remaining business having been disposed of, their lordships adjourned. lIOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. Thu SrEAXER took tho chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEHBERS. Lord HERBERT and Sir J. PAKINGTON took the oath and their seats for North Shropshire and Droitwich. APPOINTMENT TO THE MAGISTRACY. Mr. TAYLOR asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Mr. Churchward who had lately been nominated to the Magistracy at Dov.!r was the sant.) gentleman of whom a committee of that house remarked, in their report in 1853, that he had "resorted to corrupt expedients affecting injuriously the character of the re presentation of the people in Parliament ;" and of whom likewise it was reported by a select committee of this house, in 1853, that he had been guilty of bribery. Mr. WALPOLE said since the notice had been placed 'on the paper he had communicated with the Lord Chan cellor,, and he had also. made himself familiar with the re- , ports of the committees referred to. It was not, fair to say that Mr. Churchward bad been charged with bribery in the sense implied in the question: The most that could be said was that Mr. Churchward, in conjunction , with Mr. Mare, at an election which took place at Plymouth promised to obtain a situation in the excise for a voter, not knowing at the time it was illegal to make such a promise. He had received a communication from the Lord Chancellor, who stated that Mr. Churchward was an entire stranger to him, that he had been recommended to him for the appointment by gentlemen on whom he could rely, and that when the appointment was made he never knew that Mr. Church ward was ever suspected of being concerned in any illegal practices at elections. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE would like to know whether now that such a circumstance was known there was any intention of rescinding the appointment ? Mr. WALPOLE • could not answer such a question without:notice. _ _ . _ Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE informed the right hon. gen leman that ho should repeat the question on Monday next. HYDE PARK. Mr. LUSK asked the First Commissioner of Works if ho thought it desirable to continue the elaborate horti cultural embellishment of the Park-lane side of Hyde park at considerable public expense, while the Bayswater side and Kensington-gardens were, in the same respect, comparatively neglected. Mr. DYCE NICHOL, before the question was answered should like to know whether there was any intention to expedite the work of replacing the rails in front of Hyde Park, and whether it was true that the contract price for those railings was £lO,OOO. Lord JOHN MANNERS said ho had to answer the question of the hon. member for Finsbury in the affirmative. With respect to that of the other hon. member, he had to inform him that contractors might be induced to hurry on the work by extra payments being made to them, but considering by whom the railings were thrown down he did not feel disposed to recommend the house to vote any money for such a purpose. With re spect to the amount name 1 by the hon. member as the cost of the railings nothing could be snore incorrect. THE DISTRESS AT EAST LONDON. In roply to Mr. WEGUELIN, Sir J. PA.KINGTON said that question related to mat- ters which occurred before he held the present appoint ment. TO give employment to a largo number of unem ployed in the east of London a communication was made from the Treasury' to the War Offics, and a contract for 1,000 tons of iron was entered into. The tender of the company named was the lowest sent in, and therefore it was accepted, and it was being executed in every way satisfactory. There, of course, would be no objection to lay a copy of the contract on the table of the house. Mr. Hughes had never held out the inducement mentioned by the hon. gentleman, but he had made the remark that if anotherorder was given it would have the effect of relieving and assisting the families of over 1,000 persons. He had every reason to believe that the company were quite able to fulfill all the requirements of the contract. Mr. GLADSTONE said if he understood the right hon. baronet correctly he had said the Treasury had made a communication to the War-office ; he should like to know whether there would be any objection to lay a copy of the communication on the table. Sir J. PA KINGTON said strong representations from the Treasury- were made, but no direct communication took in the form of a suggestion. Col. SYKES would very much like to know what the 1,000 tons of iron was required for ? BUNIIILL FIELDS BURIAL GROUND. Mr. CRAWFORD gave notice that on the 2,1 of April he should move for leave to bring in a bill to constitute Bunhill-fields burial-ground an open space, or park, for the use of the public. A.D. 1720.
