After her t leclared intention to retire from the stage, and her " fare well performances " last season before her departure for As nerica, the public had given up all thoughts of see ing her • again, till a few days ago, when it was announced that sh e had made an engagement for ten nights to per form th e principal characters of her repertoire. The an nounce) uent was accompanied by an explanation of the reasons which had induced her to take this step ; but this was whoaly unnecessary. Grisi is too great and too de servedly a favourite to have had any ground for appre hension as to her reception ; the public are only too glad to IN we her before them once more. She appeared last even ing in the character of Leonora in La Favorita, one of tine finest of her parts, not only as a vocal per forman, ,c, but as a piece of beautiful and pathetic acting. When 1 the presented herself she received a most enthu siastic , welcome from a very crowded house.

He (Mr. Whiteside) admitted the im portance of the question, and contrasted the views of the bon. member for Oxfotd and those of the noble lord on the question—gentlemen who bad rode in the same carriage on this question who had expounded their views with great ability, but not with equal consistency ; and if there was a justification re quired for the motion of the right hon. gentleman, he would ask any impartial and attentive listener to these speeches whether there was ever exhi bited before that house, or any reasonable as sembly, more striking proof of inconsistency of opinion and insincerity of conduct, not on small mat ters, but on the greatest subject that could well occupy the minds of statesmen, on this question. On the ques tion of the war, the noble lord bad said he was for war, and the honourable gentleman that be was for peace, and would be satisfied with a treaty with Russia, but the noble lord was for something more substantial. The right hon. gentleman thought the revision of the treaty of 1841 would be of much value in the settlement of this question, but the noble lord thought it would amount to nothing, because, as he very truly said, without any fresh treaty the Sultan must call out for help when assailed. (Hear, hear.) The honourable gentleman thought these terms real and substantial, but the noble lord considered them futile and useless, and so the argument stood between them. One part of the noble lord's speech claimed his attention on account of its fairness, be lieving that everything the noble lord said, from his position, entitled him to implicit respect, and that was that the negotiations with which he was charged to conduct at Vienna that, although the noble lord thought the success of those negotiations came within the range of possibility, he felt at no time sanguine of it. The chief of the negotiations bad, in fact, described him self as the leader of the forlorn hope of diplomacy— (hear)—and such being the case, they were surprised if hon. members still hesitated to vote for the motion of his right honourable friend. (Hear.) The result was that those who proposed to pursue a direct and honest course had the alternative but to declare that they would do all in their power to carry on the war and send diplomacy to the winds. (Hear.) Why, what was the effect of the statements of the noble lord the member for the city of London ? Why, that he had no faith in diplomacy, and by doing so he had completely destroyed the well-drawn arguments of his noble friend at the head of the Government. (Hear, hear.) The opinion of the noble lord was doubtless that it had been the intention of Russia to destroy Turkey but for the in terference of England and France, and yet with those opinions strongly impressed within him the noble lord had said, on the motion of the right hon. gentleman the member for Manchester, there were still hopes that ne gotiations might be entered into, and attended with the best effects. For his own part he entertained no such , fallacious ideas believing from the noble lord's speech of last night that any further nego tiations were useless. (Hear.) Much had been said about what Russia had done for the free navigation of the Danube. In his opinion the course she bad pursued was an insult to any civilised nation in Europe. (Hear.) The sketch that had been given last night by the noble lord of the course adopted by Russia, of her filching king doms and bribing officials, was frightful in the extreme, and he thought that if Count Nesselrode wanted to preserve the good opinion of the nations of the work.; with respect to the conduct of Russia, he could not do better than enrol the sketch given by the noble lord the member for London in the Chancellerie of St. Petersburg, as it would be a fitting moment° of the perfidy of Russia. The noble lord described the evil we had to contend with—what was the remedy ? Why, it was the moun tam and the mouse over again. (Laughter.) The co lossal power of Russia must, in some way or other, be reduced, said the noble lord. Ha (Mr. Whiteside) listened for the remedy the noble lord prescribed ; and what did he point out ? Nothing—really nothing. (Laughter.) All the noble lord suggested, as far as he (Mr. White side) could gather was, that something must be done —which was a very safe theory to perform. (Hear, and laughter.) But, said, the noble lord to the Opposition, " Why don't you tell us what to do ?" (Hear.) If the Government would change places with them (the Opposition) they would shew them what to do. (Loud and prolonged chciars from the Opposition, and laughter) Was it ever the duty of the Opposition to do anything more than criticise ? He (Mr. Whiteside) wished to know from the noble lord, who was such an adroit leader of Parliament, when it ever was the duty of the Opposition to dictate the course of business to the Go vernment ? The charge brought against the Government was that its language in this question bad been very unsatisfactory and evasive. (Cheers.) Did the noble lord explain what the noble lord the Premier . meant? He had not and he (Mr. W.) ventured to say the noble lord did not really know what the Premier meant—it was a very difficult question to determine. (Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman then proceeded to read several extracts from the speeches of the noble lord in illustration of his argument, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) • SCOTCH SEQUESTRATIONS. Alex.

Tiscount CANNING moved the second reading of this bill. He said, that although the subject to which this bill related had of late years been frequently discussed in the other house, it was a long time since it had been brought before their lordships, owing, perhaps, chiefly to the cir cumstance that it was connected with tbo public revenue ; but the state of the law was now such that it was not only desirable, but absolutely necessary that some change should take place. The early history of the stamp on newspapers might be very shortly told. The first mention of a stamp duty was found in the reign of Queen Anne, at the time when newspapers, having ceased to be mere chro niclers of events, assumed the character of commentators and critics on what was passing around, and also that of partisans of the various factions in the state. The freedom with which they exercised these functions seemed to have been ill taken, not only by the ministers of the day, but also by Parliament. On one occasion a mes sage came down from the Crown to Parliament, call ing its attention to what was described as a nuisance, and asking for an adequate remedy; and the result was the passing of is law imposing a stamp duty. A stamp duty of a halfpenny was the remedy which suggested itself to the Legislature." No change took place in the duty until the year 1776. In that year, under the administration of Lord North, the duty was raised 50 per cent. In introducing the measure to the house, Lord North was reported to have said that "it was a matter of dispute whether newspapers did more harm than good ; he pronounced no judgment on that question ; but one thing was certain that they largely disseminated calumnies ; that they abused the persons and misrepresented the measures of Ministers ; that they were bought and read with great avidity, but that it was quite clear that the cause of this avidity was not a mere desire for knowledge." These were the reasons which led Lord North to recommend the House of Commons to increase the duty. On two occasions a further increase took place under the administration of Mr. Pitt. That Minister took pretty much the same view of the matter as Lord North ; declaring to the House of Com mons that in his opinion newspapers could only be consi dered an article of luxury, and that he felt no hesitation in making people pay dearly for them. The last increase took place in 1815, when the duty was raised to 4d. ; and there was this indication of the spirit in which the in- t crease was made, that shortly after, and under the same administration, by one of the acts of Lord Castlereagh, commonly called the " Six Acts," the necessity of giving securities was imposed on the proprietors of newspapers. He had taken the liberty of calling their lordships' atten tion to these features in the early history of the stamp duty, because he apprehended that any objection which might be made to the measure would be based, partly at least, on the fact that the Government were asking their lordships to consent to an abandonment of revenue. It was impossible to deny this fact ; but he denied that the question ought to be considered entirely or even mainly as one of revenue. He thought he had shown that hitherto it had not been so considered ; and he contended that if any good cause could be shown for making this change their lordships ought not to be deterred from making it because the question of revenue was to a certain extent involved in the measure. If the question of the news paper stamp were not dealt with chiefly as one of revenue in the early stages, by which the stamp advanced from a halfpenny to fonrpence—the maximum which it had at tained—still less had it been dealt with in that light at a subsequent period. The next change was made in 1836, when the noble lord near him (Lord Monteagle) was Chan cellor of the Exchequer in Lord Melbourne's Government, and he believed he did not misrepresent the noble lord's motives or arguments on that occasion when he said that the penny, which was then substituted for fonrpence, was retained avowedly not as a source of revenue, but as an equivalent for the postal service performed for newspaper proprietors by the state. As long as the duty was 4d. it was defended, not as a source of revenue, but as a measure of literary police ; but since the period to which he had just referred it bad been defended merely as a postal charge. The imposition of the penny duty had of late years involved great anomalies and inconveniences, arising partly from the unexpected and various growth of newspaper publica tions since the time when th duty was first imposed, and partly from the complicated and very imperfect definition of a newspaper. In the first act that was passed, the act of 1712, the definition given of a newspaper was, "A paper containing public news, intelligence or occurrences in Great Britain, to be disper se d an d ma d e pu bli c ." This definition pervaded all the acts from that of Queen Anne to that of 1836. But it was not the only one. In 1819, at the time when the act of Lord Castlereagh to which he had already referred was passed, the definition was enlarged, and was made to include not only publications containing news, intelligence, or occurrences, but also publications con taining " comments or observations thereupon, or upon any matter in church or state." At the same time the operation of the act was limited to publications of that description which were printed at intervals of less than twenty-six days, and there was a limitation of size. Five or six years later, the definition was made to include newspapers consisting wholly or chiefly of adver tisements. Thus their lordships perceived there were three definitions, and the result was that under the present system it had been found almost impossible to comply with all the requirements of the law. He would mention one or two samples of the difficulties which arose under the law as it stood. The noble lord then referred, in detail, to the case of the "Household Narrative," and the prosecution of the proprietor under the Earl of Derby's Government. The question involved in that case was, he observed, ultimately settled—satisfactorily enough--by the passing of an act of Parliament ; but ever since fresh inconveniences had arisen. It was customary, as their lordships were perhaps aware, for the editora of many of the provincial papers to issue from time to time, between their days of publication, slips containing information which was sometimes distri buted freely and sometimes for a small payment. The pro prietors of rival newspapers had complained of this as an evasion of the stamp duty and an injustice to themselves; but it had been found impossible to connect these slips with the regular series, and hitherto they had altogether escaped the duty. This showed the difficulty of patching up an incongruous law so as to make it effi cient. Another inconvenience arose from the publication of what were technically called "class newspapers"—news. papers which were devoted to science or art, and which had no general or political character. Acting in accordance with the spirit rather than the letter of the law, the Go vernment had decided that publications of this sort should be exempted from the stamp duty. The matter which these papers contained was not that contemplated by the law when it was first passed, as its object was to repress political and public discussion, and not to interfere with mere scientific publications. These papers had of late years multiplied very much ; from two or three they had risen to 140 or 150 in number. Every science—architec ture, agriculture, building, Rix. —had its own journal. The consequence has been that other newspapers, jealous of the privilege of these sought to obtain it, although dealing with matters of a different sort, on the ground that they were confined to one object. Since the commencement of the war a number of papers had sprung up, the Army Des patch, the War Chronicle, and others, which, containing only news of the movements of the army, claimed an ex emption from the stamp, founded on their abstinence from other subjects, and wished to be considered as class news papers. In the greater number of cases the threat of legal proceedings was sufficient to stop the issue, but in one case the editor having refused to stop proceedings were token against him. The paper was the Commercial Journal and Family Herald; published in Ireland, which, although it did not wholly exclude matters of general intelligence, de scribed itself as a paper of a literary character. The number chosen as the subject of legal proceedings contained 24 columns, nine of advertisements, four of news, and eleven of literary matter. The case was tried in the Court of Exchequer in Ireland, and the jury found for the defend ant, intimating their opinion that although it contains& some news it was not a newspaper, as its several contents wale literary. That verdict was taken up by the advocates of the abolition of the stamp duties, and it greatly increased the difficulty of attempting to enforce the law as it now stands. These class publications, soon seeing the advantages to be derived from the postal privi lege attached to the stamp, put forward a claim to be allowed to stamp as many copies of each number as they might desire to send by post. Government had no choice but to yield, although at first sight it might appear that, as they had proclaimed themselves class publications for one purpose, Government might refuse to recognise any other character in them. The declaration now taken by a person desirous of obtaining the right of using the stamp has been held not to bind him to the declaration that the publication he is about to issue is a newspaper within the definition of the act. Any per son making a declaration that he is about to publish a newspaper, and stating its name, is entitled to receive stamped paper. That pri vilege was largely used by the class publications, and if confined to them no great objection would have been made ; but, unfortunately, the example had been fol lowed by a large number of tradesmen, booksellers, pub lishers, and others, who wished to distribute circulars. made the newspaper,dee earned- T ti h ou ese t p h a a rt t ie t s h w ey en w t t e o re th a e Stamp-office, bouttopubltsh m s, thus were enabled to use the postal privileges for a pur pose "t was never intended to ® The example was Still more largely followed. He had himself received a short time since the quarterly report of the Church Building Society printed on stamped paper. It was im possible to contend that a law which not only permitted. but even invited such abuses, did not stand in need of a mendment; as it now stood the Board of Inland Re venue had no power to restrain such practices. Such being the state of the law, it was not surprising that strong opinions had been expressed in favour of a change. The last committee of the House of Commons, in their report, eeted directed the attention of the house to the abuses with the law, arising from the difficulty of involved in their subject, and the anomalies and inequalities long debate, the their enforcement.

EMPERIA L PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CIIANCiLLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM moved for certain returns con nected with the administration of the criminal Jr as regards the trial of persons accused of petty larcenies. THE CHURCH IN CANADA. The Bishop of OXFORD rose to move for an address presented to her Majesty by the House of Assembly and Legislative Council of Canada, praying for the removal of disadvantages to which the Church in Canada was sub jected, and to enable it to elect its own bishops, and also for any answer which had been given thereto. The right rev. prelate said that when the notice for those returns was placed before their lordships, it would be time enough for him to enter into details on the subject. He would take that opportunity of observing that he be lieved the Church and State in this country benefitted by the relations that existed between them, and he for one would not see this relation altered. The supremacy of the Crown, on the whole, in its influence was highly beneficial to the Church of this land. The reason why the Church of England had authority with the Crown was this : the Church of England was acknowledged to b• the national Church, and every step tending to take from it that character took from it also that wholesome inflLence which he wished to preserve. Earl GRANVILLE said he had no objection to the returns asked for. The Earl of DERBY said he regretted the course which had been taken with respect to the Church of Canada. He felt, however, that he was by no means responsible for what he considered was a violation of the engagements which had been entered into between the Church and State of Canada. The Bishop of OXFORD said he had not given his sanction to the Clergy Reserves Bill ; on the contrary, he considered the act to be a spoliation of church property. THE NEGOTIATIONS AT VIENNA. Earl GREY rose to move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, to thank her Majesty for hav ing ordered the protocols of the recent negotiations at Vienna to be laid before them—to inform her Majesty that this house deeply deplores the failure of the attempt to put an end, by these negotiations, to the calamities of the war in which this country is now en gaged, and to express our opinion that the proposals of Russia were such as to afford a fair prospect of conclud ing a peace by which all the original objects of the war might have been gained, and by which her Majesty and her allies might have obtained all the advantages which can reasonably be demanded from Russia. The noble earl adverted to the difficulties under which he laboured in bringing forward the motion, but he felt that it would be ineurrin7 a serious responsibility to delay it any longer. Re then proceeded to enumerate the calamities of the war. It appeared from the most authentic documents that, up to the receipt of the latest reports, there were nearly 250,000 of the Rus sian army destroyed. The losses on the side of Turkey had been no less than 120,000 men. We were painfully conscious of the losses which we had susta ned in our own army since the war began. On the whole, he felt he was under the mark when he stated that 500,000 human beings had already perished amid the horrors of war. Together with the awful sacrifice of human life, there had already been about 50,000,000/. expended upon the war. (LEFT SPEAKING.) kIOI7SE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Caledonian Railway ; Carmarthen and Cardigan Rail way ; Executor and Trustee Society ; National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society ; Peterborough and Wel lingborough Road ; Wigan and Preston Roads, North of Yarrow ; Sligo Gas. The following bills were considered and ordered to he read a third time :—Bolton and Nightingales' Road ; Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway ; Folkestone Improve ment ; London and South Western Railway ; Not tingham and Newhaven Road. The following bills were read a second time :—Airdrie Rural District Police (No. 2), and New River Company and Trustees of the River Lee (No. 2). PETITIONS. Mr. A. PELLATT presented a petition from the National and Constitutional Reform Association, signed by 5,000 persons, praying for Administrative Reform ; by Mr. Spooner 34 petitions from various parts of Warwickshire, praying for the repeal of the Maynooth grant ; by Sir J. Graham, two _petitions from Carlisle, for the repeal of the Sunday Baer Bill ; by Mr. Lowe, several petitions in favour of the b►ll for legalising mar riage with a deceased wife's sister. PASSPORTS TO PARIS. Mr. WILSON said passports would be issued free to the wmkrnen and artisans of the United Kingdom, to visit the Paris Exhibition, to be available for one month. NEW WRIT FOR BATH. Sir J. W. JOLLIFFE moved for a new writ for Bath, in the place of Mr. Phinn, appointed Second Secretary to the Admiralty. After a few remarks from Sir C. Wood, Sir F. Thesi ger, and Sir F. Kelly, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he received this morning an applicat►on from Mr. Phinn for the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds to enable him to vacate his seat. The grant of an office under the Crown was brought to him for signature, and he signed it this morning. He believed it was the intention of the Sec retary to the Treasury to move for a new writ this evening, with the correct name of the office which Mr. Phinn ap plied to accept, as it was not the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. (Hear.) After a few words from Mr. DISR A.ELT, who re commended that some distinct understanding should be come to as to the practice in future in such cases, Sir W. JOLLIFFE withdrew his motion. CADET APPOINTMENTS TO THE ARMY. In reply to Mr. H. A. BRUCE, Mr. MONSELL said that the system which had pre vailed at Woolwich with regard to the appointment of cadets had been exclusively that of nomination. Within the last few days, however, the system bad come under the knowledge of the Secretary of State, and as a consi derable number of cadets were required in the Engineers and Artillery, the expediency of alter ing the present mode of appointment was deemed necessary. The pressing emergency for these cadets rendered it impossible that any permanent arrangement could be at once made, but a plan of selection had been adopted which was a great improvement upon the old one, which would be based upon the result of a public examination, showing what use they had made of the means afforded to them of acquiring information in their profession. (Hear, hear.) By these means the best men would be selected. _ _ THE CRIMEAN MEDALS. Mr. STAFFORD asked the Under Secretary for War what arrangements had been made for forwarding the Crimean medal to the sick and ounded soldiers who were at present at home with their friends? Mr. F. PEEL said that 2,000 medals were in the hands of Hunt and Roskill, for delivering to those sol diers who had returned to this country from the Crimea, and were not present at the ceremony on the 18th inst., and would be forwarded to them by the firm he had mentioned. He might take that opportunity of also informing the house that arrangements had been made to send 8,000 medals per fortnight to the Crimea for distribution there ; and further, that those soldiers who received medals on the 18th would shortly receive certificates upon Hunt and Roskill, in order to obtain their clasps, to which they might be entitled. THE GOVERNORSHIP OF GIBRALTAR. Mr. BRIGHT said he had often had to complain, by personal representation and memorial, of the interference of the present Governor of Gibraltar with the trade of that port, which complaint he had now to repeat. He had been informed by the Duke of Newcastle, on a for mer occasion, that the term of office of Sir R. Gardiner would shortly expire, but that officer remained there still. He wished, therefore, to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was the intention of the Govern ment or not to supersede him ? Lord PALMERSTON said that the period of service of Sir R. Gardiner had expired, and that he now only held office until his successor was appointed. THE VIENNA CONFERENCE. Mr. ROEBUCK said—Sir, there i s a report abroad I that the Conference at Vienna has been renewed. I wish to ask whether the Government have received any intimation of such a renewal Lord PALMERSTON—AII I can say is, that no conference has been held since the last reported in the papers ; and before any fresh conference is held, the English Minister at Vienna must receive authority from the Government at home to attend it. (A laugh.) Mr. M. GIBSON said he did not quite understand the answer of the noble lord to the question just put. The noble lord at the head of the Government stated a few days since that the conference at Vienna was not closed, but suspended, and that Lord Westmorland re tained full powers to c l- . lie wished to know if those powers had been withdrawn, and wh en l (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said the powers referred to had not been withdrawn from the noble lord. It was one thing to possess them, and another t o exerc i se them, and that must depend on the instructions he received. THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR. ADJOURNED DEBATE. The adjourned debate was resumed by Mr. WHITESIDE, who said that after what had oc curred in that use with reference to this question, the 71 Peni a United Miro: /f tluty 'Pea asaliil g iiii the , isoil i et _ _ for the first time, it might be a question whether that'pri vilege ought t o b e con f erre d , b u t th e p u bli c bad nOw bec.orad) used to it. Any paper not choosing to use stamped Paper would not come at all under the control of the Board of Inland Revenue, but would be entitled to the ordinary pri vilege of the book post. It was the iutentionof the Govern- / ment, as soon as the new act came into operation, to make such reduction s i n th e rates of postage on 'hooka and printed matter as would make the minimum rate of one pqnny Ever the weight of four ounces; Many people-werel.pprelieu sive that the increased privileges granted to the periodical press would inundate the country with seditious publica tions, lower the tone of the existing press, tend to spread demoralisation and discontent, and that the result would be a social evil instead of a social benefit. The example of their neighbours on the other side of the Channel was quoted as a proof of the danger of a cheap press. It was well known that even under the existing law there had been a large number of penny and halfpenny papers. The character of that press was at one time very bad, but it had of late much improved, and the existing penny papers abstained from news, and devoted themselves to literary matter. It would also be found that the most scandalous and demo ralising papers that had ever existed were published on patronisedhe present s state e the f thehigher e aratherthe thants h ta i m s lower c p o e u d n classes . tprayl:ire t and Ame rica was cited as an example of what might be expected in th T e Government of England and the dis position that h of t e h e d p i t ec pnloetutlrien think o the American from class of jour nals those of Ame ricanals would ever become popular here. A better example of what the English press was likely to become, when freed from the restrictions of the stamp laws, was to be found in the Australian colonies, where no stamp law had ever exapisetres.

It had a circulation of eleven or twelve thousand a day ; and, as far as tone, temper, and language, would bear comparison with any English paper. He would not go into any details as to the intentions of the Government with. regard to the transmission of unstamped papers through the Post-offic e , as it did net come ,within the scope of the bill. O n go i ng into committee he would be prepared to give any explanation that might be required. There was numberono other o f p o p i a n p t e n rs ot yr a o ff u e l c d ted sp b n y .n t , he u b p ill to which he wished to refer,yie., t o h f e p q i u ra e c s y ti , on an o d f co ,, pyright.

He was not nor did he much regret it. That w s ( question monteag ca ie r w e hb:fhoraedPcharalirgaemaefut. the Stamp n am lB3 p B O i l t the firste noble endeavouredt ime lord t to carry a similar clause, but without success. It appeared result, nor to him (Viscount Canning) that, as regarded copyright,the present law—though not very convenient nor very summary —did effectually provide a remedy. The matter which might be pirated from newspapers was of two sorts—either leading articles, or the bare announcement of facts. A s t o l eading articles,they would be copied ratherfor their gener a l lit erary merit than for any facts they contained. If th ey were pirated, in the first place, there would be very little diffi culty in tracing them, as these articles would not admit of disguise, for any little alterations would entirely spoil them. In the next place, the piracy, to be profitable, should b e constant and regular, for no one would buy a cheap p a p er merely on the chance of occasionally finding a good leader copied into it. They had proof that the existing law was sufficient to reach this case, either by action for damages, or by injunction. Some years ago a paper was started in London with the avowed intention of copying the article. from the other papers a few hours after their publication. The existing papers at once took steps to enforce the law for their protection, and nothing more was heard of the new project. He did not mean to say that the law might not be made to act more quickly, but it was not desirable to introduce any such provision into this bill. As regarded the piracy of bare announcements of intelligence, he very much doubted whether any law could be framed to meet it effectually that would not be liable to great abuses. Even if such a clause were passed it would be very difficult to put it into operation ; for any announcement of a fact expressed in a few words might be varied so much that it would be almost impossible to identify it, and there would be great risk that many innocent persons might be seriously incon venienced in defending themselves and showing their inno cence. He very much doubted whether that sort of pro perty belonging to newspaper editors was one which ought to be protected. He could understand such a claim if made some years ago, when the expense of conveying intelligence was very great, and a paper was often obliged to employ couriers from Constantinople or Marseilles to London, at the cost of many scores of pounds. Matters bad very much changed since the electric telegraph wes extended from one end of Europe to the other ' - and a party receiving a mes sage was perfectly entitled to publish it, or to give it to another to do so. He doubted very much whether the advantages the papers might derive from such a protection would be a compensation for the restrictions and restraint it would place on using the electric telegraph. He did not believe there was any other point to which it was neces sary to refer. He thought he had shown sufficient reason to induce them to give the bill their favourable considera tion. It was true the proposed change involved a loss to the revenue of about 150,000/. ; but as far as he was in formed, he had every reason to believe the loss would be fully made up by the receipts from the papers that would still use the stamps, and from the increased revenue to be derived from the extension of the book postage. On social and political grounds he asked their lordships to read the bill a second time. (Hear, hear.) Lord MONTEAGLE said that having had to deal with the subject which the noble lord had brought under the consideration of the house, he wished to state the objec ticns he entertained to the present measure. His first and strongest objection to the measure was a financial one. The sacrifice of revenue which the noble lord asked the house to assent to was unnecessary, uncalled for, impolitic, in some respects unjust, and, above all things, inopportune. (Hem.) He did not ask for the continuance of the tax from any apprehension that its repeal would produce political or moral mischief to the country. So far from any of the evil consequences which some persons apprehended from cheapening the Ness being realised, it was a fact that, from the year 1836, when the stamp was reduced from 4d. to Id., up to the present time, tlfere was a progressive improve ment in the tone and temper of periodical publications. But he thought their lordships ought to hesitate before assenting to this measure, because they were not in a posi tion to sacrifice revenue. It was not when they were en gaged in an expensive war, and were obliged to go into the market as borrowers, that they should be called on to give up a portion of the permanent revenue of the country. The bill was then read a second time. ADJOURNMENT FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Earl GRANYILLE gave notice that to-morrow he should move that the house at its rising adjourn till Mon day weak. The other bills upon the table were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned at half-past seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. FOREIGN POLICY.—THE CONFERENCES. Mr. DISRAELI rose to move the resolution he had placed on the paper, and spoke as follows :—Sir, I rise for the purpose of stating to the house the reasons which have induced me to trouble it with the resolution which is now in your hand, and the objects I have in view in moving that resolution. I have for some time been watching, as I suppose all have watched, with intent and deep anxiety, the conduct of the Government of this country in respect to the great question of peace or war, and especially and in the most significant manner the conduct of that Govern ment during the prosecution of the conferences at Vienna, and I have imbibed an opinion with respect to the inten tions of Government which has filled me with great regret and distrust as to the consequences of their conduct. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I have thought that there was, on the part of the Government, language so ambi guous, and language so uncertain, that I have been led to reflect on what must be the cause of circum stances which, undoubtedly, whether erroneously or the reverse, have filled the public mind with very great disgust and discontent—(hear, hear)—and which certainly demanded the attentive consideration of all men, who felt that they had incurred responsibility by accepting a seat in this house. (Hear, heir.) It was impossible for me, although entertaining this opinion, to ask that the senti ments of the house should be declared on these circum stances so long as negotiations were taking place. Every body knows, that if I had attempted to do so, the obvious answer to me would be, that her Majesty's Government were engaged at the moment in negotiations and confi dential communications with the representatives of foreign powers, and that it would be injurious to the interests of the country if Parliament were to interfere with their labours ; and who can imagine for a moment that such an objection would not have been held valid of loy the ee house ? (Hear.) But at last the protocols and, after negotiations were produced, after rome inqui ry ; laid on the table an unusual lapse of time, they r e of the house, and I imagined tha w ld t e following the precedents that shou ld h ave earliest oppo rtunity t h h a e ve P g ri ui m d e ed M h in is is co te n r: duct, would of course have taken h to have asked the opinion of Par liamenten anodnwtohueldlaablosonrshavoef the representative of his Gover n ment, before the House taken the opportunity of clear ly l aying of Commons what the ui Governmenteonnt ohfadpeisneeteonrdewdatro—doof with respect to this grea t q uestion course, without committ ing hi sn ms d elf ex in p I i e ct re i l b y a tell ai n n g g t d h e e . tails—ef manfully , p recise ly, Parliament and the country what the Government meant " ejeet in future.
