The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's. inn s today, to hear appeals. AIEYNELL V. SIIRTEES. The further argutnent3 in this part-beard case, the facts of which we have already given, the appeal having occupied the Court several days, were resumed to-day, and occupied his lordship the whole morning. (Before the Lords Justices of Appeal.) WHEATLEY V. BASTOW.-JUDGMENT. Theirlordships gave judgment in this case, leaving the parties to elect whether there should be a decree for a redemption of the security entered into or a dismissal. In the course of their judgment their lordships made some severe observations on the conduct of one of the solicitors in the case, and directed that proceedings should be taken against hina;the costs to be paid out of the Suitors' Fund, for the purpose of striking him off the rolls of the court. This proceeding their lordships considered necessary and just to all parties, as it would enable the solicitor to explain the reasons for the course he had adopted. According to the evidence now before the Court his conduct was most blameable ; but probably that might be explained, and one of its officers might set himself right with the Court.

On this part-heard case being called on, Their Lordships, without calling for a reply, gave judgment. The plaintiff, the• Earl of Mansfield, was an incumbrancer on the estate of the defendant, and filed his bill for the purpose of obtaining the decree of the Court for a foreclosure of his mortgage. To that suit he made no less than 37 persons, who also claimed liens on the estate of the defendant, and among ti3em was a gentleman of the name of Camplin. That gentleman put in an answer to the bill, in which he set out his mortgage deed, and insisted that he had a prior claim to the plaintiff. That answer was replied to, and the Vice• Chancellor, upon the case coming before him, made a decree directing an inquiry for the purpose ofaseertainin g what charges there were upon the estate, and directing the sale of it. Mr. Camplin carried his claim before the Master, which was rejected on the ground of the transaction being usurious. The Master reported against the claim of Mr. Camplin. He excepted to that report, and the Vice-Chancellor, on the case coming before him upon the exception, was of the same opinion as the Master, and overruled the excep tion. That judgment was appealed from, not by the Earl of Mansfield, but by subsequent incumbrancers. Their lordships were clearly of opinion that the whole transaction was a colourable one, that it was intended by it to give a usury rate of interest, and that the deed was therefore void, and the exception ought to be over ruled. QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. THE PARISH OFFICERS OF STOKE DAMERELL. Sir Fitzroy Kelly (with whom was Mr. King) applied for a rule to show cause why a certiorari should not be set aside as superseded unless the appellant consented to the settlement of a special case pursuant to an order of quarter sessions. The case was between the appellant, representing the Postmaster-General, and this parish, and was with reference- to the validity of the rate. An appeal was made at quarter-sessions, before Mr. Phinn, the late recorder of Devonport, who confirmed the rate, subject to a case to be stated for the opinion of this court. The rate was confirmed in October last, but no steps were taken by the appellant, whose duty it was to prepare the case, until March, when the case was de livered ; but so many differences - arose between the coun sel engaged as to the terms of the case that it was found necessary to refer to the recorder. Before that could be done he resigned office, but he has stated his readiness to entertain it, although he doubted his power without the consent of all parties, to which, however, the appellant refused to assent. Lord Campbell said it was most unreasonable and un handsome on the parties so to refuse. Rule granted peremptorily, returnable on the last day of term. IN RE W. H. BARBRA. This case, which came before the Court on a rule to show cause why the applicant should not be permitted to practise as an attorney, came on to-day for argu ment. The applicant, it will be recollected, was connected with Fletcher and others in the will forgeries some years since. Two applications t 3 the Court had been made, and the applications refused, and this rule was granted on the express understanding that new matter only bhould be presented for the consideration of the Court. The arguments are likely to occupy a considerable time, and we defer a report until the conclusion of the case. MARKET NB WN—(Tptis DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

JUNE 9 1855 BANQUET TO THE LORD MAYOR AT PARIS. The Hotel de Ville has seldom seen under its hospit able roof a more distinguished company than Baron Haussmann, the Prefect of the Seine, assembled on ' Thursday to meet Sir Francis Moon, Lord Mayor of London, and the gentlemen of the Common Council deputed to attend him. The guests comprised the most distinguished persons in Paris, and scarcely a celebrity in politics,literature, arts, or manufactures was absent. The diplomatic corps, the Ministry, the senate, the Council of State, the Legislative corps, and all the learned bodies were numerously represented, and a casual spectator would be embarrassed which mostto admire, the wonder ful variety of uniforms, the richness of the orders and decorations worn, or the taste and elegance of the ladies' toilettes. The guests were received with the most per fect grace by M. and .Mme. Hanssmann in the State drawing-room, the banquet taking place in the long Galerie des Fetes, the finest room in Europe for fes tive purposes. From one end to the other of this noble gallery was laid out a table covered with the most splendid plate, cut-glass, flowers, and ornaments. At each end of the room a table ran across, and the Salle St. Jean, which opens into the gallery, was similarly occupied. Covers were laid for 350 persons, and as a lady sat by the side of a gentleman down the whole length of the immense table, the coup d'wil was one of unrivalled variety and beauty. The dinner, as was to be supposed, consisted of every delicacy that the gastronomic genius of Paris could furnish, as will be seen by the bill of fare which we subjoin. A find band of music played appropriate airs during the evening, giv ing "Rule Britannia," as the Lord Mayor of London entered the dining room. Wben the dessert arrived, the Prefect of the Seine rose and said : Gentlemen, I have the honour to propose the health of their Imperial Majesties. To the Emperor Napoleon lll.—to the Sovereign whose wise, pure, loyal, and courageous policy—by triumphing over the hatred and suspicions of ages, has founded in a cordial and in dissoluble alliance the two greatest nations of the world, and thus preserved for ever the cause of justice and of civilisation. (Applause.) To the Empress Eugenie ! Her incomparable grace is the ornament of the Imperial throne, and her inexhaustible bounty brings blessings on her head. " Vive l'Empereur ! Vive l'lmperatrice !" A numerous chorus here accompanied the band whilst playing " Vive l'Empereur !" The PREFECT, after a short pause, again rose and said : "Gentlemen—l have the honour of proposing the health of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. May God protect the august ally of our be loved Sovereign. May we soon see the hope realised that her Majesty the Queen has deigned to permit us to conceive, that of being allowed to offer to her in this very place, at the period of her visit to France, the homage of the respectful felicitations of the municipal corporation of Paris. Vive la Reine Victoria I" The national air of "God save the Queen !" was here given by the chorus, after which Lord Cowley rose to acknowledge the compliment paid to his Sovereign : " I beg leave to return your thanks for the very cor dial manner in which the health of her Britannic Ma jesty has just been drunk. There is not, I am convinced a single English heart that does not beat responsive to the friendly feeling which is testified in France towards the Queen of Great Britain andtowards all English sub jects. Her Majesty is fully alive to the importance of maintaining the amicable feeling which now exists be tween the two nations, calculated, as it is, to promote so strongly the welfare of both countrie•a." (Applause.) M. DELANGLE, President of the Municipal Co m mission, next rose and said : "Gentlemen, in the name of the Municipal Corpora tion of Paris, I propose to you a warm toast of welcome to his lordship the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and our friends of the City of London. (Cheers.) The City of Paris has not waited, in order to enter into relations of benevolence and kindness with the City of London, until an alliance offensive and defensive should unite England and France. At the present day when the two nations have united their flags—at the present day when they spill the blood of their soldiers in the common cause, it is not only as colleagues, but as friends and brothers that we receive the magistrates of the City of London and their families, and that we salute their ar rival with acclamations. Welcome to his Lordship the Lord Mayor, and to our friends of the City of London.' " (Loud applause.) The Loan Mivott then made the following reply : " Monsieur le PrMet, Messieurs les Ambassadours, my lords, ladiee, and gentlemen,—The Lord Mayor and the Municipality of London desire to express to you their warmest thanks for the admirable manner in which they have been received by this great city, and for the kindness just manifested towards them by this distinguished company. Permit me, further, to asqure you, that we shall never forget the d e li g htf u l re miscences connected with such a reception, calculated, as it assuredly is, to excite, even in our northern breasts, feelings that can never be effaced. (Cheers.) The mu nicipal body of Paris, by the inspirations of their wis dom, arrives at such grand results as to secure to them selves the po‘ter of giving such gorgeous entertainments as this which we behold to-day, and they do the best possible service to their country by bringing together under this hospitable roof the most distinguished per sonages of every country, and so exciting a universal feeling of genial amity and cordial consideration. (Cheers.) This noble Hotel de Ville, in which we have been this day so splendidly entertained, presents such mar vels of art and such wonderful efforts of human genius, as exemplified by the stately hall in which we are now assembled, as to make me and the gentlemen who have accompanied me, feel as pigmies in our power of offering a palace for municipal hospitalities ; yet the points, in which we admit ourselves to be deficient in such mat ters, and which involve the cultivation of the higher works of art and genius, we can only hope to make up for, in the time to come, by the melns of that unity of feeling, and that warmth of heart which, I think, I may venture to declare, is never wanting in the English cha racter, and which cannot but be increased by such kind ness and friendship as we are proud to say we have ex perienced on the present occasion in France. (Loud cheer ing.) Such a reception can be worthily responded to only by a cordial and heartfelt expression of acknowledg ment, and it is that which lam anxious, both in the name of the city of London and in my own, to here con vey to you in the most marked, the most sincere, and the most cordial terms. (Loud cheering.) Shortly after the company left the dining-table, but many of the guests remained until a late hour in the suite of splendid rooms thrown open on the occasion. It was universally admitted that the Hotel-de-Ville, famed as it is for princely entertainments, had surpassed itself in this banquet to the Lord Mayor, and amongst no part of the guests was admiration expressed more warmly than amongst the English visitors. ,ZIA: ' 4 71 Xt I t FFF ' t 44-7 xo t SUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. PRUSSIA. BERLIN June 6.—Copies of the following Prus sian despatch, addressed to Count Arnim, under date of May 23d, have been forwaraed to all the representatives of Prussia in Germany to keep them au courant of the sentiments at head-quarters)— "Berlin, May 23. "To Count Arnim,—My note of the 19th inst. ad dressed to your Excellency, was already on its road , to Vienna when Count Esterhazy had the goodness to communicate to me the annexed circular of the 17th inst., together with the despatch of thelsame date, direct ed to him, also annexed. Your Excellency will, there fore, have been already in a position to give Count Buol the assurance, that the Russian despatch conaniunicated by Herr von Glinka to the members of the Diet seems to us also at present to call for no motion or declaration at the sitting of that body, and that we are willing to take this document, importantly affecting German interests as it does, into deliberation only in connexion with the detailed communications, which the Aus trian Cabinet has on different occasions led us to look forward to. But although, and for the very reason that we, for the 1 r.3strif, in compliance with the wishes of the Imperial AuAri,m Cabinet, and on account of nego tiations still pending, rest rve judgment on the Russian dec'aration, we cannot look upon it as salutary or even well grounded to consider it forthwith in that light and designate it in that manner which has been adopted by Count Buol. I must confess myself unable to agree with an argument which avers' that Russia is only striving after the disunion of Germany, whilst she is making to the whole of Germany a declaration which, as the Austrian circular itself says, has been a source of satisfaction to the Austrian,Govern ment itself, and is abiding by results, the acquisition of which Austria herself claims as a merit, 'which I am far removed from wishing to depreciate, although it would be matter of easy proof to show that Prussia's incessant exertions at St. Petersburg have also at least shared in bringing about Russia's concessions with reference to these points. I am inclined also to doubt that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg purposed to as sure itself in advance of the determination of the German Courts by means of the communication made by Herr von Glinka, since, as faros I know and as indeed the text of thecircular corroborates, no responsible decla ration was soughtfor or expected. When, in former stages of the negotiations, the sincerity of the intentions professed by the Western Powers was impugned at St. Petersburg, Prussia openly declared herself opposed to such a course. Uninfluenced by the currents of public opinion she has done the same on similar occasions both in Paris and London, and she, would think herself wanting in the franknesss due to her German allies, if she did not also, in the case before her, demand an impartial and un prejudiced examination of the Russian note, as demanded by the honour and inter es t s o f G ermany . We are ready and willing, as stated above, to defer determining what importance at the present conjuncture of affairs in Europe, and what obligation may accrue to Germany, shall be given to this incident, and not to take it into serious consideration until we have obtained a thorough knowledge of the communications that Austria has promised. I will not stop here to inquire if the degree of (at least intended) secrecy and reserve with which Austria shrouds her negotiations with the Western Powers—from us still more than from other German Governments—exactly corresponds to the degree -of confidence that she claims from us. On the contrary, I beg expressly to state that his Majesty's Government, duly appreciating Austria's difficult position and the endeavours she is making to surmount it, io incapable of wishing to drive the Imperial Cabinet into making further commu nications. On the other hand, the Cabinet of Vienna will certainly always bear in mind that, if we, out of considerhtiou for Austria, suspend our deliberations and determinations, we do not by so doing in the re motest degree renounce our entire right to a perfectly free and thorough examination of the matter itself. We, and with us Germany, take up our position on the ground of the treaty of April and its additional articles. Whatever lies beyond these that has been negotiated, settled or stipu'ated without the knowledge and participa tion of the signers of those treaties (amongthese we reckon the treaty of December 2, the protocols of the late nego tiations at Vienna, and any arrangements which the Ca binet of Vienna, in pursuance of its last confidential cor respondence with the Western Powers may make) , are facts which we shall have to take into our seriousconsideration, whilst forming our resolutions, but which cannot, of right, exercise any retroactive effect on our obligations, and, as we think, on those of Germany. We shall be sincerely gratified if that which Austria has to commu nicate to us tallies with what we have so often de- lineated as the position we take up. We shalLas I hardly need repeat, whilst examining into the state of the case, strive by wish, by feeling, and by resolution to prove that Prussia, both as a European and as a German Power, is wont to look upon herself as Austria's ally. But we claim for ourselves and for Germany the incontestable right to enter upon this examination, and, if Austria reserves to herself to settle what, according to her views, Europe's and Germany's interests require, so shall we decide at the right time, what our own, Germany', and Europe's in terest seem to us to require. How far the Austrian manner of viewing things, and what the Austrian Cabi net in consequence may have arranged without con sulting, can be brought into harmony with our own conviction, and consequently how far they are calculated to pave the way for that community of action on the part of Germany and her two Great Powers, in which not only the efforts of her Governments but also the wishes and hopes of the nation must be considered. "Your Excellency will hand to Count Buol a copy of this despatch, and express yourself towards him in the sense of the above remarks. We confidently hope that he will find our frank language only commensurate to the gravity of the moment, and will recognise in it a fresh proof of our lively wish fo►•a genuine and sincere under standing, and for a solidarite based upon it. "Receive the assurance, &c., " MANTEUFFEL." STATE OF TRADE. ( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, June 8.---On Tuesday last, the Liver pool cotton market was reported fully d. per lb. dearer than on the preceding Friday. The sales of Wednesday, however, suddenly dropped down to 5,000 bales, and yesterday the business was equally small at a decline of -id. to id. This change produced a somewhat startling effect upon the Manchester Exchange, where it was not expected to happen so soon even by the cautious buyers. At once, an altered tone was heard amongst spinners and manufacturers, many of whom became wishful to sell at a modification of their previous terms ; but, naturally enough, the buyers were inclined to wait, and see what course things would take.' There had been in dications, on the Tuesday, of an increased demand for domestics, but the improving tendency was checked on the following days. To-day there is a slight turn up ward again in the raw material. BRADFORD, June 7.—Wool—There is no change daring the week here. The market is badly supplied with wool, and the backwardness of the season will cause a later clipping time than usual, which is operating to the detriment of the trade. 93 77i 7 126} 6 i 82/ 2 / 103 104 31 4i 74 i 51 45 9 2 6 10 100 all lOU 100 100 5 all all all 103 [OO 100 St. 5, St. 10 8 25 10 ..01; 24 i i Pm 59 1 pm PM 101 1001 94 9 1 1071 23i & EAST INDIA COLLEGE, ADDISCOM3E. The half-yearly public examination of the gentlethen cadets educated at the East India Company's military seminary, was held yesterday in the presence of Mr. Elliot Macnaghten, chairman ; Colonel Sykes, F.R.S., deputy-chairman ; a majority of the Court of Directors. The Right Hon. Vernon Smith, M.P., and Maharajah Dhuleep Sirgh, were present. The number of cadets brought forward for examination was 38. The following distribution of prizes then took place:— C. H. Luard, second mathematics, first, general good conduct, the Pollock medal. The CHAIRMAN, in presenting the sword and Pollock medal, said : In the name of the directors of the East India Company I have great pleasure in presenting you this sword. It is the most appropriate reward that we can offer, and it is at the same time, I feel assured, the most gratifying and the proudest possession which you, sir, as a young soldier, can possibly receive. With honour, sir, you have won it, and with honour may you long-be permitted to wear it. (Great cheering.) I have again to congratulate you, sir, your family and friends, on this further evidence of your good conduct and suc cess. The medal is awarded to you as the senior cadet, and ranking highest in general merit. It was struck by the inhabitants of Calcutta to commemorate the distin guished services of my gallant friend and colleague, Sir George Pollock.' May it, sir, excite your best endea• yours to imitate his brilliant example. (Cheers.) J.

Soon after one o'clock the Chairman and Court of Directors proceeded to the sand modelling hall, where they inspected a most interesting model, scale 50 feet to an mile, and covering a space of 80 feet by 50, of the harbour, city, and fortifications of Sebastopol, with the adjacent ground, as far as and including the port of Balaklava ; showing the allied lines of attack, the posi tions and camps of the several divisions, together with the lines of circumvallation crowning the various ridges and heights, and constructed after the battle of Inkerman. These and many other interesting par ticulars and circumstances were described and pointed out by Cadets Bonus, Luard, Judge, and Hancock, In the meantime, a model of a battery in sand, scale one inch to a foot, was constructed by Cadets Goodfellow, Swinton; Mathew, and Manson. The plans and draw ings in this department were of the usual excellent de scription. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Elliot Macnaghten) having ad dressed the cadets, the company adjourned to the house of the Lieutenant Governor, where a luncheon was served up, and the proceedings terminated. THE NEW CATTLE MARKET AT ISLlNGTON.—Yester day morning a deputation of the Markets Committee, together with B. Bunning, Esq., the City architect, in spected the preparations made for the reception of his Royal Highness Prince Albert (who has signified his in tention of honouring the inauguration by his presence on Wednesday next), and, from their magnitude, there is no doubt that the ceremony will be well worthy of so important an occasion as the opening of, perhaps, one of the largest commercial marts in the world. The scene will be enlivened by two military bands, and the various flagli displayed will consist of the banners of England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia. WOOLLEN TRADE. (From, the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, June B.—We have no change to report in the state of the woollen trade. The markets continue very steady, and a fair average business is regularly doing. There is a fair steady trade doing in the warehouses, and quite as much as is usual at this period of the year. It is mainly for the home market. HIIDDERSIFELD, June s.—The market has been very quiet to-day. More buyers from the metropolis and large towns have been present, but their transactions have been on a very limited scale. HALIFAX, June 2.—We have little to add to last week's report of this market. The most prominent fea ture is an apparent tendency to stiffer prices for most kinds of combing wool, and the remark will also apply to South Devon fleeces. The arrivals of new wool are only scarce yet, but we may expect them in larger quan tity very soon. MINING INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Mining Journal of this day.) The demand for mining shares has been good this week, but there has been rather a scanty supply, and the actual business transacted has not, in consequence, been of the large amount of previous weeks. Further advances have taken place in the price of some of the best shares in dividend mines, and among them Rosewarnes have reached 2001., having steadily , risen from 701. since we first called public at tention to the mine, only a few months ago. South Frances, 5001., Bassets, 6801 . to 7001 . Th ere was a divi dend of 201., and a bonus of 2/. 10s. per share, declared on Tuesday, and we understand there is a probability of a 51. bonus at future bi-monthly accounts. West Bas sets have been in demand at 291. 10s. to 801., 311., but few sellers to be found. North Basset, 27. ; Devon Great Consols, 365/. to 3701. ; Wheal Kitty (Lelant) 401. to 451. ; Wheal Kitty (St. Agnes), 3/. ; Clijab and Wentworth, 151.105. to 161.10 s.; North Robert, 261. to 281.; Vale of Towey, 17s. 6d. to 1. 2s. 6d.; North Towy, 7s. 6d.• ' Wheal Wrey, 51. ss. • South Tamar, 61.155. ; Marko Valley, 51. to Si. 55.; the new discovery here, to which we referred a week or two since, has yielded 70 tons of rich ore in five weeks, merely from driving on the course of the lode ; no ground has yet been stoped away, al though it could be done for 6d. in 11. Such a discovery as this in either Camborne or Illogan would have sent shares to 201. each. The company have also, we understand, obtained a new lease for twenty-one years, at 1-18th dues. West Frances, 201. to 211., call paid ; East Basset, 451. to 46/. ; West Seton, 2001. to 2101. ; North Crotty, 111. 10s. to 121. 10s. ; Cwm Darrens have been h d e e r c a o b rn le p i a m t y p r i o s y s e u m eh en t t ha i n t i f s u r m t h i n e e r , d calls largely dealt in at Sc. to 7s. 6d., and s till i n demand , no tahri a very position co o n f anticipated ; the lode in the bottom of the h s aft 38 f deep, is yielding 10 m and 5 tg. of copper nlB, cwts. of rich lead per fm. ; the stopee in the back of the 30 are worth 25 cwts. of copper and 6 cwts, of lead per fm.

HOUSE OF COMMONS--YESTERDAY. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented by Lori J. Man vers, against church-rates, and for closing public houses on Sundays ; by Mr. Cranford, several petitions from Scotland against the Lord Advocate's Education Bill ; by Mr. A. Hastie, from places in Scotland against the Maynooth Grant; by Mr. C. Bruce, against the Lord Advocate's Educati on Bill ; b y M r. Cobden, from Saddleworth and other places in Yorkshire, for repealing the Sunday Beer Bill ; by the Lord Advocate, petitions from places in Scotland in favour of the Edu cation Bill, against the Maynooth grant, and for the repeal of the Sunday Beer PROSECUTION OF THE WAR—ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned debate, Mr. SCOTT said his right hon. friend the member for Buckinghamshire had placed upon the paper a notice so plain and distinct that the country fully understood After referring to the different mot ons which had been brought before the house in the Course of the debate, VI.. hon. gentleman proceeded to question sathat w we hi w ch ere ha n 2l w b di ee s i: cussing identically the same raised throughout, only 'tinder a different form to that in which it was first introduced. Revolve it as they' would, the question was still the same,—the conduct of the w ar an d the management of thenations for p eace. Th e r i g ht ho n . baronet opposite (Sir James Graham), although he was theoretically and m or a ll y in favou r o f th e 'motion of the right hon. member for B uck'', he nevertheless voted against his own convic tions on the side of the Government, in which example he was followed by the two right hon. gentlemen who sat beside him. This they had done, it was said, in order not to upset the present Cabinet, but he (Mr. Scott) t s h o is sc g r u u e p s u t l i o an us h t e o Awfotuerldthreemopinindiotuhsese right those hon. gentlemen that the r e was a tim e , an d that not long ago, when they were not most important f or them to s a h v o o u i l d d t h h a e vge dislocation of the Cabinet. a m ldw e e abasa w nt when e that which influence.hatigh ct e h i their bg eh t opinions There one had fe atu s r o e ehnt have v l o e eu m g e h n t i th retainedawdo uexpressed former oe positions in th e C a bi net rather than to have deserted it on a b t en a efic t i i could wh en the et housebut mention, was and en gaged hhe in t one of the most interesting debates which could affect the character of public men, and the welfare and happiness of this country, there was an attempt made by the supporters of the G overnment on the other side of the house to bring the debate to a conclusion by counting out the house, and some Cabinet Mi nisters who were not far off thought it not worth their while to take any steps to prevent such is course. Whatever opinions they might entertain, they at all events seemed to think that w h a t t oo k place in that house was of less importance than that which was occurringin tbelobby. He mustalso say that he was much surprised that the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment should have allowed the speech of the hon. member for Manchester to go forth to the country unanswered ; and he (Mr. Scott) regarded it as a sign of weakness, or division in the Cabinet, that they had had only two Cabinet Ministers, as yet, who had expressed their opinions on the vital question before the house at.a time, too, when the country was looking so anxiously to whatever they might have to say. (Hear, hear.) Six Cabinet Ministers had seats in that house, and this was the sixth night of the debate, but only two of those gentlemen had as yet condescended to express their opinions. In the present condition of the country it became of great importance that we should know what were the sentiments entertained by public men. It had been said that the Opposition ought to point out what should be done. It was not the duty, he contended, of the Opposition to dictate to the Government; their business was to take care that the Government did not embarrass the country. The country and the press bad been unjustly charged with precipitating the nation into war. The hon. member. after some further obser vations, concluded by stating that he should support the amendment of the hon. member for Kidderminster. Sir F. BARING saidthet — inbringing 'forward his amendment he did it not from any opposition to the Go. vernment, but to support it against the attack of the right hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire. When he proposed his amendment the conferences at Viennahad not been closed, andhethought that undersuch circumstances it would have been unfair to have censured the Government. Circumstances had since then changed, and the important point now for the house to deal with was the amendment of the hon. member for Kiddermin ster. He bad been told by the noble viscount at the head of the Government that the words of that amend ment were better than his. He had his own opinion upon that point ; but still, if the house preferred it, be would at once give way. The resolution of the hon. member for Kidderminster was anything but sul - ,- stantial, because if the house carried it, the greatest loophole would be left to escape from every undertaking that had been entered into. Much had been said _ale ut the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea. Of all the propositions he had heard, none seemed to him so plausible for the prevention of that supremacy as the proposition of the present Government. It appeared to him that the house would not, upon the amendments that had been proposed, come to any satisfactory con clusion. As to the amendment of Mr. Lowe, he thought the difference between that amendment and his own was more a matter of taste than of politics ; and as he had always found in publicThfe that the most troublesome persons to deal with were those who had a pedantic at tachment to words and phrases, he would not object to Mr. Lowe'. first amendment, on the understanding that it did not alter the sense of his own resolution. But he bad a strong objection to the honourable mem ber's second amendment, because it left the Govern ment free to ma' , e any terms they pleased on all the points except the third. With regard to this third point, he was surprised at the arguments used by Sir James Graham and Mr. Gladstone, as if the Russian proposi tion to allow Turkey to call in her allies was a boon con ceded by Russia, seeirg that, in the protoeol of the 29th of April, that very power was claimed by Turkey as her right, without any reference whatever to the consent of Russia. But, mere than that, these right hon. gentle. men gave great and deserved praise to the good faith of our French ally. But he would ask whether we were keeping good faith with France in turn, if; after pledging ourselves, as we had done, not to make peace without France, we were now to lay down 'certain terms with or without which peace was not to be made? He ridiculed the idea of a great party division being taken on the simple words of Mr. Lowe's first amendment, that the conferences had been broken off in consequence of Rus sia refusing to limit her fleet in the Black Sea, and hoped the house would not be misled by such an attempt. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Government was attacked by various parties and from opposite quar ters. One consolation was that many of the shafts flew over their heads and fell among the ranks of parties op posite. He attacked Mr. Cobden and Mr'. Bright for their envenomed attacks upon the Ministers, and for making the sacred cause of peace a stalking-horse from behind which to disci - ergo envenomed shafts against political opponents. Turning then to the seceding mem bers of the Cabinet, he said those gentlemen had brought the country into war, had then deserted their colleagues, and now lent their powerful aid to discourage the coun try, to disheart en th e i r a lli es, an d to i nsp i re the i r enemies with the reflection that they had influential ranks among the statesmen of England. Sir James Graham gave as a reason for concluding peace, that all wars in modern times had become unpopular after a few years. There-was some truth in that representation for special reasons connected with those wars ; but even assuming that this war should become unpopular like the rest, was that a reason for concluding a disho nourable peace ? What an argument was that to put into the mouths of our enemies—that if they will only persevere, England will soon grow weary of the war, and insist on peace ! He then dilated at some length on the aggressive tendencies of Russia—tendencies which he believed to be ineradicable, and therefore it was neces sary to have some material guarantee for the independene of Turkey. It was said that that guarantee would be se cured by allowing Turkey to call her allies into the Black Sea whenever her independence was menaced. But that amounted to no guarantee whatever ; for it was absurd to suppose that Turkey had not the power to do that independent of treaties. On the other band, he held that the limitation of her fleet, as proposed fber the Allies, did contain in it the elements of a guarantee. And if that guarantee were not secured—if Rus sia obtained possession of Constantinople, it would not be long before she interfered with our commerce in the Mediterranean, and with our empire in the East. He thought, therefore, the Government had done rightly in rejecting the Russian propositions. He depre cated these discussions about phrases and nice distinc tions when the conferences had closed, and when peace was to be hoped for only through the W i le of victory. Sir F. THESIGER also deprecated the continuance of a discussion whether there should be peace or war at a time when all present prospect of peace had closed ; but he thought the tipse had now come when the house ought to inquire how these negotiations had been con ducted. He believed that they had been conducted most unsatisfactorily, and that arising in great part from o the unfortunate choice of a negotiator. Th e hon. and learned of t gentleman he origiorigin of enteredthe war, andinto f a tee or e rde lengtheneddexamina tionopinins great measure accounted of Lord J. Russell with regard to the ambitious views in h a ad come to an end, which he said, for the failure of the negotiations. part, he re joiced e l e d u thatsa, which,th negotiations or his could only baveoled, in the hands to a peace that wou l d have been discreditable to the of s uc h a negot i ator , e country. They mus t now look success, and he trusted they would be sharper than the w honourable Peace which in for th e nation that safe and Mr. LLOYD was the desi re o f th em a ll. NAVIES could not understand how gentlemen who had begun th e war s h ou ld no w thinkit right to co n d emn t of th e . For hi s p ar t, he thought the ob ject war could not be gained till they obtained material some guarantee f rom Russia ; and he would -not lend himself to any vote that should weaken the hands of the Ministry in a vigorous prosecution of the war. Mr. BENTINCIC also expressed his intention to oppose all the amendments. Mr. CARDWELL repelled the imputations which the Attorney-General had thrown on the motives of the seceding members of the Cabinet. According to him Russia was not to be bound by treaty ; and yet the hon. and learned gentleman was now serving the second Go vernment that had attempted to make a treaty with Russia. He severely commented on the rashness of the Attorney-General, who had told Europe in the face t o h f Parliamente balan c e of t p h o a w t e w b r,e but t d t o gone eav e t o India. war, not vir toth r e ga r d maintain to o the question before the house, he came down prepared to support the resolution of Sir F.
