The Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the following : " It is certain that the representatives of France and England at Madrid have never made, and have consequently never renewed, au application to the Spanish Government to send troops either to 'the Crimea or to Italy. It is an error to suppose that any division araonst the ministers, or a minis terial crisis, exists. The Minister of Foreign Af fairs, in going to Biarritz, had. no other object, apparent or real, than that of complimenting the chief of the neighbouring State, in the name of the Queen and the Spanish government ; any other statement on the subject is devoid of all founda tion."

According to Las Novedades the voluntary sub scription to the loan in Madrid, though required to amount to 22,000,000 reals (the real is worth five sous), had only reached 120,000 reals. The Clamor Publico says that the Bank of San Fer nando had encountered some difficulty in pro viding funds to the Treasury to pay the claims of the month of June, but that some pri vate friends of the Minister of Finance had advanced the Treasury what it required. The Clamor says also that the 20,000,000 reals bor rowed in Paris were shortly expected. The Captain General of Catalonia having learned that Carlist agents in the principalities were endeavour ing to seduce soldiers from their duty, had issued an order of the day to the troops offering 1,000 reals and his discharge to any soldier who should denounce any man attempting to induce him to violate his duty. A letter of the 30th ult., received in advance of the mail, says :-- "The Gazette publishes a royal ordinance regulating the manner in which the delivery of the ecclesiastical property is to be proceeded to, before being sold. The Government is carrying out measures for the sale of such property with great activity. The civil governor of Madrid has seized all that is to be found in his district, and the sale of it is to commence forthwith. Everything now causes it to be hoped that the peace of Barcelona will not be again disturbed. The Minister of Public Works has settled the questions raised by the workmen by deciding that there shall be liberty of capital, liberty of labour, that coalitions shall he prohibited, and that workmen's associations, except for charitable purposes, shall not exist. It has been further decided that stran gers arriving in Barcelona shall obtain a permission to remain from the authorities, or shall be liable to expul sion. In Barcelona the manufacture and sale of arms of all descriptions has been prohibited." ft. le° 5 51 En. Coun. E.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY made a shoilar motion with respect to this bill, and it was also read a second time. tendency to divergence on her part from the policy of the allies. So great a change must have had some cause. Previous to the 2d of December, Austria well knew the difficulties that beset the English and rrench armies in the Crimea ; she knew of the fatal field of Balaklavn, of the destructive conquest at Inkerman, of the hurricane of the 14th of Nov., of the absolute necessity of remain ing for the winter in the Crimea. Our military affairs were then at the worst. Be did not think that that di vergence could have arisen from any discovery of her own financial state. Count Emil was then the Foreign Mi nister of Austria, and he was so still. He did not think Austria had attained all she could desire by the first and second points. He was satisfied that until the Princi palities were, by a treaty with all the great powers of Europe, made a central State, Germany had not all the security she-could attain, nor would she have security until she got a scrap of territory on the left of the Danube. Could they not see that it was the third point which secured the other two, and that so long as they gave to Russia power iu the Black Sea, it was idle to expect from Russia an adherence to the first and se cond points. He trusted that these gentlemen would recover the understanding that German statesmen had in former times, that the nation would recover the mi litary spirit it had in former times, and that it would not allow itself to be surrendered and destroyed like a dy in the toil of a spider. Thera was another point, and that was our military position as compared with what it was on the 2d of December. There had been a pulling down and a subsequent reconstruction of the war department. He had before taken objection to the manner in which that operation had been per formed. He thought it would have been wiser to have confined themselves to giving the Secretary-at-War ab solute authority over the inferior departments, and not in a hurry to have made material alterations in the great departments. The Secretary for War had now on his shoulders all the duties at the Secretary at War, of the Commissary-General, and of the Master-General of the Ordnance. The noble lord had left himself without the military instrments with which alone the war depart ments could be conducted, and which it was per fectly impossible for civilians to control with understand. ing. Except the Commander-in-Chief and the Secretary of State for War, the noble lord had no military man whatever with whom be could have official communica tion. Then, what had the noble lord done with regard to the regular army ? He came down suddenly one day, and told the house that he had de termined to give a prospective shilling to each man, which was to be put into the savings bank and paid when the man left the service. In about a week the noble lord threw over altogether the prospective shilling, and, instead, ho gave a present sixpence ; that was, he said he would give it, but to this hour there had been no proclamation to that effect, and he knew that the paymaster would not pay sixpence on a speech of the noble lord's. (Laughter.) Therefore be' appre hended that at the present moment the addition of six pence had not taken effect. It was a serious matter to trifle in this way with the army. The army in front of Sebastopol at the present moment, if it were in the field, and had the means of moving, would beat any army which Russia, or he believed all the states of Europe, could bring against it. There was nothing that could resist an army of 170,000 men, composed as it was, and capable, when once in the field, of obtain ing the assistance of 35,000 Turks. There were 200,000 men, a larger army than had ever engaged in any battle, not only in the memory of man, but, unless they believed in the exaggerations of historians, had ever engaged in times of antiquity. There was the finest army in the world, utterly lost, unable to move. From six weeks to six weeks there was a bombardment, and then there was some fatal assault, and the progress made was very little. There was to one at the present mo ment who could reasonably look forward to anything but the continuance of that army in the Crimea during another : winter. He looked with very serious apprehen sion upon this state of things, not merely as affecting our military reputation, but as affecting at no great dis tance of time the state of public feeling in this country, and the position of all men engaged in the management of public aflairs. When they met again in November, the noble lord opposite and his colleagues might still have retained their position, but unless there was a very material change in their military prospects they might depend upon it the first operation of the House of Com mons would be to put them out as it put out Lord Aber deen. Lord PANMURE said he concurred in many of the remarks of the noble earl, but from some of them he must take the liberty to differ, and particularly, that in discussing this matter in another place, dbubte had been thrown on the good faith of the French government. The noble lord had stated, that although some improvement TURKISH LOAN BILL. had taken place in the condition of our army since last The Earl of CLARENDON moved the second read- December, our affairs were not in as satisfactory a con ing of this bill, with the understanding that any debate dition as he could wish, and he also alluded to the state on its merits might be taken at a future stage.

But with He hoped, however, in a few words to show that it had regard to recruiting, he must say that, considering the not been unnecessary, and that her Majesty's Govern- state of trade the spirit of the youth of this country was meet, in agreeing to the convention, had only acted in beyond praise. Atthismomentthey were recruiting atthe accordance with the general feeling of the country, which rate of not less than 60,000 a year, a number far exceeding had been so faithfully represented in theirlordship'shouse, any that was attained during the last war, and it was namely, that the hostilities should be carried on with the attained without any compulsory enlistment whatever, the utmost possible vigour and effect.

He France had made great efforts and great sacrifices in had the strongest objections to the ballot, and he thought order to conduct a war which they considered to be that instead of adding to the desire of the young men to just and necessary, ana which had been forced upon engage in the service of the Queen, it would have a con them by the ambitious policy and the aggressive de- trary effeci. He would rather encourage voluntary signs of Russia. Turkey, on her part, had not only efforts than have recourse to the.compuliory method of made a gallant stand, but had given proof of au ability and enlisting men either for the army or the navy. With a devoted patriotism which had astonished even those reference to the position of affairs in Asia, he regretted who had placed the greatest reliance upon her powers them as much as the noble earl did, but he should have of resistance. Those efforts, by which she had been some hesitation, considering the difficulties to which it able to equip and to maintain in the field an army would expose her Majesty's troops, in placing them in of 180,000, had however been attended with unavoid- that part of Asia. The noble earl had threatened her able results. Turkey, like England and France—but Majesty's Government in the month of Novemder with not sooner than England and France—had found her a visitation of public opinion. When that visitation ordinary revenues insufficient for the great struggle in came upon them, he, for one, would endeavour to meet which she was engaged. She had therefore determined it, confident that he had done what lay within him to to do, what she had never done before except in a single protect the forces of her Majesty in their present arduous instance, to make a loan.

The Lord Chancellor sat to-day at Lincoln's-inn. DESBOROUGH V. HARRIS.-JUDGMENT. His Lordship gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued before him on Wednesday last. The case came before his lordship upon appeal from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Wood. The suit in court below was one of interpleading. The plaintiff is the secretary of the Atlas Insurance Company, with whom, in the year 1825, the defendant Harris effected a policy of insurance on the life of a lady, bearing the pleasing cognomen of Judith Grubb, for a sum of 3,0001. In the year 1829 Harris assigned the policy to bankers at Exeter, carrying on their business under the firm of Sandars and Barnes. In 1834 Harris became insolvent, and took the benefit of the act, and all his present and future property be came vested in the provisional assignee of the Insolvent Debtors' Court. In 1853 Judith Grubb died, and the policy therefore became payable. In consequence of bonuses and accumulations the policy at the death of Grubb was of the value of 4,5261. Sandars and Barnes, the banker?, of Exeter, claimed the sum. due on the policy ; but that claim being disputed by the defendant Harris, and Sturgess, the provi sional assignee, they brought an action against the Atlas Insurance Company to recover the amount. Upon these proceedings taking place the plaintiffs filed their bill for the purpose of having the direction of the court as to whom they ought to pay the amount of the policy, and also for an injunction to restrain the pro ceedings. On the action bill the right had been settled by the court. Upon the case coming on before the Vice- Chancellor Wood, he held that the bankers at Exeter, Messrs. Sandars and Barnes, were the parties entitled to the benefit of the policy, and ordered the provisional assignees of the Insolvent Debtors' Court (Sturgess) to pay the costs, on the ground that be had not acted with that quickness and decision which was required of the court in giving a discharge to the company. The Lord Chancellor, after reviewing at considerable length the facts of the case, and the authorities upon the sub ject, stated his clear opinion to be that the bill ought, in the first instance, to have been dismissed with costs against Sturgess and the bankers, and without costs as against Harris. The decree was, therefore, ordered to be varied in that respect. WALTERS V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY AI TD MINING COMPANY. His Lordship intimated that he should give judgment in this case, which was argued before him two or three months since, in about a fortnight ; the only reason for delaying it was the immense mass of paper connected with the case. CLAVERS V. BLUCK. His Lordship also stated that he would, at the same time, give judgment in this singular case, in which the fund in question had been in court for no less than a century and a half. llis Lordship is the only judge sitting at the present time in open court, all the other judges having adjourned for the long vacation.

THE LATE IMPERIAL VISIT TO LONDON.—It will be recollected that on the above interesting occasion there was no portion of the welcome accorded to our illustrious visicors that was deemed more worthy of it than the mu nificent hospitality of the metropolitan municipality. To the Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, were entrusted the arrangements of the banquet at the Guildhall, and a pleasing proof of the Emperor's appreciation of the manner in which they performed their useful task h as just been afforded. Messrs. Staples having respectfully presented to their Imperial Majesties a case containing specimens of the dessert service that had been specially manufactured for the occasion, their appropriate gift has just been acknowledged in a very handsome letter from M. de Dalmas, sous-chef du cabinet de rempire, accom panied by two valuable jewelled breast pins, presented en tenwignage of the Emperor's recognition of the effici ency with which Messrs. Staples' portion of the civic ceremonial was carried out. 64j i i 98i i 9 8i q 13 24+ 13i i 17 if 14i 15 88i 9f 84 9i 47 ad Do.. he had a perfect conviction that good reasons did exist for the course which had been followed, and that it was not any want of energy, foresight, or courage, that mi.. vented Admiral Dundas and Sir Edmund Lyons from doing what the noble earl suggested. But when the noble earl mysteriously and darkly alluded to some im pediments which prevented those gallant admirals from doing what they might have none, he (Earl Granville) would ask the noble earl whether he could venture to say that, in his belief, anything which came from her Majesty's Government--any views of theirs, or any in structions they gave—had thrown any such impediment in the way of the admirals doing what they might have thought it advisable to do ? To quit the subject of naval and military operations, he (Earl Granville) had cer tainly heard with heartfelt satisfaction the noble earls both disclaim the idea that the arguments used by any • party against this bill could convey a reflection upon the honour of the French empire. He accepted that dis claimer with much pleasure, and he had only been led to think such a reflection might be cast, by some of the ar guments used in another place, where an apprehension was expressed of the possibility of the French nation, in consequence of a change of government, or of other cir cumstances, refusing to fulfil its engagements. The bill was then read a second time, and their lord ships adjourned at a quarter before eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' Amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—The Great Western and Brentford Railway, Stokes Bay Railway and Pier, and Westminster Improvements. MERTON COLLEGE ESTATE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. HADFIELD presented, petitions from a total abstinence society in favour of the Beer Act of last session. -v Mr. presented a petition from Ina** burn against the Accidents on Railways Bill. SUPPLY. Mr. FITZROY brought up the report of the Qom* mittee of supply. Sir F. BKRING objected to the proposition for re. tired allowances, considering them far too large, and totally uncalled for. It was true that many officers had done great service, but he could not see the neceeetty of ' rewarding them so liberally. Sir D. - NORREYS considered the proposition. for re tired allowances totally uncalled for, and one whiel4 never ought to receive the sanction of Parliament. Mr. MACARTNEY deprecated the unjust way in which retiring allowances were made ; men that had performed perhaps some of the most important offices of the State were rewarded by the mere nominal allow ance, while others who had done little or nothing for the good of the country were rewarded far beyond their deserts. These were facts that gave great disec,nlceat to the country, and was calculated to bring any MC inistry that supported them into contempt. He was in. hopes that in another session the right hon. bart the mew ber for Portsmouth would bring forward some specific m easnre on this important subject. Mr. WILSON defended the Treasury minute, believ ing that it had not been made without due considera tion as to the operation of the Superannuation A ct. It only applied to persons who were incapacitated by age or ill health for performing their duty. All that had taken place had been done with the full authority of an Act of Parliament, with a large consideration kOr the public interest. By the payment to the parties o' about £2,000, upwards of £ll,OOO would be saved- to the public. Mr. F. FRENCH contended that gross injustice had been done to many parties, which ought to be rev aedied. The proposition was then agreed to. Some other objections were made to the bring ing up of the report, which, after some discussion, were with drawn. The report was then agreed to, and the house went into committee on THE LUNATICS ASYLUM (IRELAND ADVANCES) BILL. On clause 1, Colonel DUNNE moved an amendment to the effect that a certified copy of the returns to the governors of such asylum shall be sent to the grand jury of each of the associated counties connected with the asylum, and if any difference arose as to the cost of the erection, enlargement, or construction, itc., of such buildings to be referred to the Lord-Lieutenant, who shall appoint a commission unconnected with this Board of Works to examine and report thereon. He corn plained of questions of this importance being brought for , fard at so late a period of the session that it could not be pro perly discussed, and when most of the Irish members had left. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had no objection to the first portion of the amendment, but considered the latter uncalled for. Mr. M'CARTNEY supported the amendment. Mr. F. FRENCH hoped the hon. and gallant gentle man would not press his amendment. He thought the words, " not connected with the Board of Works" tended to cast a slur on that department. The amendment was withdrawn, but ultimately the first portion of the amendment was agreed to, and the clause amended. On clause 6, Colonel DUNNE moved another amendment, to the effect that the commissioners for this act should not be the Commissioners of the Board of Works, but ulti mately withdrew it. The other clauses of the bill were agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. NAVIGATION WORKS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill, after a short discussion, passed through committee, and was ordered to be reported; the pream ble, however, being postponed. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT (1850 CONTINUANCE, &0., BILL. This bill &so passed through committee. DISEASES PREVENTION BILL. This bill went through committee. ORDNANCE BOARD BILL. This bill also went through committee. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and it being 10 mi❑utes to four the house resumed. Sir B. HALL said he would bring on the third read. ing of his Public Health Bill to-morrow (Saturday), at one o'clock. The house afterwards adjourned until Eli o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock. Mr. A. PELLATT presented a !petition from South• wark, praying for an alteration in the Charitable Trusts Act. Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT presented petitions from different parts of Lancashire, complaining of spiritual destitution in those districts. QUESTIONS. Lord R. GROSVENOR asked the Under Secretary for War whether the distribution of the medals to the re- latives of the soldiers who had fallen in the present war was to be delayed to some indefinite period ? Mr, PEEL said when the medals were obtained from the Mint they would be sent from the War Office to the parties. Col. FREESTUN asked the Under Secretary for War whether it was the intention of the Government, in compliance with the report of the Arctic expedition com mittee, to recommend that her Majesty would be graci ously pleased to grant a decoration to the officers and men employed in that expedition ? Sir C. WOOD said he had not seen the report, though he believed it was printed, and he did not, therefore, know what was the recommendation of the committee. Lord R. GROSVENOR asked the Solicitor-General whether it was his intention to go on with the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill this session ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it was his inters tion, and he hoped the bill would pass. Sir C. WOOD then explained, in reference to certain words attributed to him in connection with the subject brought forward by the hon. and gallant officer opposite (Admiral Walcott) the other night. Colonel DUNNE asked if there would be any objec tion to officers of marines being appointed to the Tur kish contingent'? Sir C. WOOD said there was a great objection to the appointment of officers already on active service. Mr. GIBSON had seen in the papers, that about the latter end of May or the beginning of June Admiral Dundas, in command in the Baltic, had issued a procla mation, stating that the instructions were to capture merchant vessels, the property of Russia, carrying on trade in the Gulf of Finland, and that when these vessels appeared to be of small value the cruisers were to m He de stroy the. wished to know, wascompetent the executive government to direct an admiral to decide for upon the property of a ship, and whether that decision shonlci not rather be left to a court of competent juris diction ? His second question was, whether any com munication bad been made by the Government of the United States to her Majesty's Government on the paragraph in the Message of the President declaring that free ships made free goods , and whether a conven ti on t o exempt priva te propm.t yfrom seizure had been mooted, or was under consideration `? Sir C. WOOD said that Admiral Dundas had a die cretionary power to capture or destroy all Russian vessels, large or small, in the Baltic. In reply to a question from Mr. Briarcr, Lord PALMERSTON sa id that the papers connected with the recent unfortunate transactions on the coast of Africa were in the h an d s of the printer, but the Govern meat had not as yet been able fully to examine them. Colonel NORTH called attention to the fact that on Thursday two soldiers in uniform had been refused admission to the strangers' gallery of the House of Commons. Lord PALMERSTON regretted the occurrence, and asked the Speaker if there was any standing order which excluded soldiers in uniform from the house. The SPEAKER said there was no such order, but a tacit understanding appeared to prevail that soldiers in uniform should not be admitted. He saw no reason why they should be excluded so long as they were unarmed. (Cheers.) Mr. STAFFORD hoped it was to be understood that henceforth they would be admitted unarmed. (Cheers.) WAYS AND MEANS.—AUSTRALIAN STEAM COMMUNICATION. On the question that the report of the committee of ways and means be brought up, Sir J. PAKINGTON rose to ask the Secretary of the Treasury whether any arrangements had yet been en tered into by her Majesty's Government for renewing steam postal communication with the Australian col°• Lies; and whether any and what answer had been given by her Majesty's Government to the address from the Legislative Council of Victoria, in which they offered, on the part of that colony, to contribute 50,000/. per an num towards the cost of steam communication with England ? He had put a question as to these papers to the noble lord the member for London ; but the noble A. 30 25 20 all 68 7i 25i I 11 / 36i i
