The Sun. — London, England, 1855-07-28 00:00:00

,T• THE SttN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, .JULY 28, 1855, should be made between the two services —(hear, hear)— but the army warrant wa s no t ye t finally settled, and he could not, therefore, say what its terms might be. With regard to the second question of the hon. and gallant gen tleman, the Admiralty had given as large a portion to the widow of Admiral Boxer as it was in their power to award, but the house would be glad to learn that there were other sources from which that lady might derive benefit, and that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to take her claim into consideration, with a view to that result. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BILL. In replj to Mr. WIGBAM, Mr. B ITVERIE said that this bill would not be pro ceeded with on Monday, but he would state on that day when it was to come on. THE AFFAIR AT MALLAGHEA. In answer to Mr. BRIGHT, Lord PALMERSTON said he had received the de spatches relative to this affair, from the Colonial-office , only last night, and that he had been sa much engaged all to-day that he had not had time to examine them. Mr. BRIGHT--If the noble lord ss ill lot us have them on Monday I shall be obliged to him. Lord PALMERSTON—I really will. (Laughter.) THE 10TH HUSSARS AND 12TH LANCERS. Colonel DUNNE moved that the house, at its rising, do adjourn till Monday next, for the purpose of asking the Secretary for War, whether the !Nth Hussars and 12th Lancers have been reduced to the European establishment? Whether those officers who have been reduced are still left as supernumeraries with their regiments during the war? And whether, after having fought through the war, it was intended to place them on half-pay ? Mr. PEEL said the two regiments which returned from India on the Indian establishment had been reduced to the Crimean establishment, which was much larger than the English establishment. The number of rank and file was less than the number of rank and file in India by about 50, and the number of officers about 10. All officers in excess of the Crimean establishment were supernumeraries, and serving as such, and he understood that as casualties oc curred in the course of the service they would be absorbed in the regiments. Colonel DUNNE would repeat the question on Monday, as it was clear the hcn. gentleman did not understand it. (A. laugh.) ORDNANCE SURVEY (SCOTLAND) EXPT.A.. NATIONS. Lord ELCHO complained of certain statements touch ing his own conduct with regard to the Scotch survey, made by Lord Seymour during tho recent debate on that subject, denying that he had endeavoured to obtain a sur vey advantageous to himself as a lauded proprietor at tho üblic expense. Lord SEYMOUR having explained his meaning in the statements alluded to, the subject dropped after a few words frem Lord Palmerston. Some discussion having arisen respecting the commission appointed to investigate the subject of decimal coinage, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. GLADSTONE vindicated the impartiality of the selected commissioners, and denied that either of the three members named had arrived at any foregone conclusion on the subject. In reply to a question from Sir J. WALSH, Lord PALMERSTON said that Omer Pasha had gone to Constantinople for the purpose of making arrangements respecting some military equipments, but that he had no intention of resigning his command. The motion was then agreed to. OFFICE 'OF STEAKER. The Office of Speaker Bill was read a third time and passed. The other orders were postponed until after the Turkish Loan Bill. TURKISH LOAN. The house then went into committee on the Turkish Loran Bill. Clause 1. Mr. WALPOLE called the attention of the Government to the fact that in the original convention, in French, the word " separately" occurred in the articles. In the trans lation into English, however, the word " separately" had been omitted. The legal effect of the convention would be very different according as that word was inserted or omitted. The bill was framed on the basis of the word " separately" or " severally." The enacting part of it made t lawful for her Majesty to guarantee, in conjunction with the French Emperor, the Turkish loan of 5,000,0001. on the terms set forth in the convention. If the English translation or mistranslation was followed, those terms were different from the terms of the bill. He. therefore, asked the right hon. gentleman whether the Government would be prepared to amend the bill in committee, by in serting the word " separately" or " severally," so as to make it separate as well as joint, in accordance with the terms of the convention ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the guarantee of France as well as England bound both coun tries jointly and severally to the entire loan. It was in that sense he read the convention. As regarded the trans lation of the word solidairement in the convention, the ight hon. gentleman said it meant separately or severally. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), on the contrary, thoegh it meant in conjunction. (Laughter.) The original draft was first translated "conjointly and unitedly ;" but it was remarked that "unitedly" was not good English moreover, it gave an additional force to the phrase, and therefore it was omitted. Solidairement in French corre sponded, as the right hon. gentleman, who was both a scholar and a lawyer, perfectly wellknew, with the insolida of the ancient Roman law. It was, therefore, best repre sented in English by the word " conjointly," which he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) maintained was a literal and faithful translation. If, however, it was thought that any sa dditional force wail I be given to the statute by the words of the right hon. gentleman, he should have no objection to give them the fullest consideration. All that was sought was to carry out the stipulations of the conven tion, about the meaning of which there could be no pos sible doubt. The guarantee was separate as well as con joint on the part of England and France. and either was liable for the whole in the event of the failure of the other to meet it. As regarded the Act of Parliament, the objection of the right hon. gentleman might be mate rial. As regarded the treaty itself, it was not, as the par ties were bound by the original convention, which was in the French language, and as the words in question were to be found in that document. The English copy was an un authenticated one made for the use of the Government. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) then proceeded to reply to the remarks of the right hon. member for the University of Oxford, made at the morning sitting. The right hon. gentleman had said that the house had unanimously con demned the bill with respect to its terms ; that the principle of a guarantee had been pronounced purely bad, and that nothing could redeem it from condemna tion. Further, he said that the Government had shown no disposition to modify these arrangements. Now, with regard to the terms of the bill, the Government had no power whatever over them, inasmuch as the treaty had been agreed to by the three powers; and could not be altered without the consent of each and all of those powers. To do this, however, it would have to be re ferred to those powers, and he (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) asked what would be the position of this country if the treaty had to be referred back to Franco ? (Hear, hear.) The Moniteur of Friday, Tilly 20, promulgated the treaty for the Turkish loan, and contained the sanction of the Emperor to the guarantee which had been adopted by the Chambers. The session of the Chambers was concluded. How could this Government therefore approach the French Government with a proposition to change the terms of that treaty and that sanction? What arguments could they use to induce a reconsideration of the subject? Thecommatee would. therefore, see that the course recommended by the right hon. gentleman offered obstacles and difficulties in the way of its adoption which, for practical purposes, might he considered as insurmountable. Bat it was said the principle of guarantee was incurably bad. Ho would call attention to the two alternatives before them. Sup nosing Government bad attempted to resort to the expe d ent of a loan, would the French Government, in addition t) their own loan, have added two and a half millions t) their own debt to .lend the money to Turkey ? Were aye in a condition to go into the market to borrow 21 mil lions? Were we in a condition to add to the large re qinrementa for the service of the year the additional suns of 2 2 1 millions to lend it t o T ur k ey ? Th e S ar di n i an l oan had been offered to Government as a model to follow on this occasion. But what were the circumstances of that loan? We agreed to lend Sarainia 2i millions, but France took no share i n that uen burden. In the present case we divide the burden withou d r a lly, and all that w a s objected to it was that we had a joint t gu aran t ee . B u t , th en, t o guarantee, carry out that joint in had we n o t th e goo d f a ith of our ally, which was, his was said that we ought to have raised amply sufficient. It that the money and given the money absolutely to Turkey,ratsthis course would have avoided all diplomatic difficulties, and that a free gift would have been more advantageous parties than a joint loan. But he differed that to all parties He con sidered if a gift was made that the borrower might come again. He would ask what was the effect olviais'e guarantees by Mr. Pitt in 1795 and 1797, when twoloanssvere raised by the Emperor of Austria and guaranteed h In 1824 the Imperial annuities were abolished, and Eug h lanl a , whole of these two loans was incorporated into th e national t a .bt. The lossinctirred by this country was about 4,0)0000/ _dere was a case in which a guaranteed loan by Mr. Pitt had cost the country a loss of 4,090,0001. But, on the other hand, we gained the services and alliance of Austria in th e great war in which we were then engaged, and part of the loss was afterwards repaid by Austria; but the fact re mained, that a guaranteed loan eventually resolved itself into a gift. He now came to the question of the separate liability. It was considered that our liability ought to have been separate, and that in a loan of 5,000,0001. to Tor key, our obligations ought to have been limited to '2,500,000a; France being placed on the same footing. He collected from the right hon. gentleman that he laid some stress on the example afforded by the Greek loan. He would call the attention of the house to the history, and point out some of the features, of the Greek loan, and would show that in that loan the interests of Greece were not very se dttlously attended to. The particulars of the Greek loan would be found in the convention. The financial arrauge mente were made by the Greek Government. Two com missioners left Paris, and contracted with Messrs. Roths child in 1833 for the whole 16,003,000 f., at the same price —namely, 94. By this means the cre dit of En g land, France, and Russia were measured out at precisely the Same rate. The price of the Greek bonds in the market Was found to range at lower figure than the lowest price of the Fi ve per e h l a l t o sv pa as an Cents. of any of the guaranteeing powers. e, to arr o r i gement which the right hon. gentleman could hardly conceive anything sof perfection. Now, he snore ruinous to a foreign state th an such a cour se , or less calcul a t e d t o o bt a i n th e benefit of a guarantee. W ar was parent of urgent necessities, a hard taskmaster, and was the measures which It compelled nations to en forcevveoealuo.ntarily it would not have re• course to in time Bat beyond that necessity which every government eaa 3. t experience in circumstances such as those in which we now placed, he caw no reason for thinking that bette r terms than those under the consideration of the house could have been obtained by her Majesty's Government, or reconsideration of the subject, such as that proposed ills right better gentleman, would enable Government to obtain arms. Mr. GLADSTONE said the object of his previous re marks was not to raise a question as to the bill, or to draw a comparison between this and former the measures, but the remarks of the right hon. gentleman had opened up the question of the principle of the bill. The l right hon. gentleman had dwelt on the principl e of the Greek and Sardinian loans; but when ho came to the terms of the present convention be passed - the subject by, show. ing that he was altogether in the dark as to the view he (Mr. Gladstone) had endeavoured to impress on the house in his former observations. The right bon. gentleman had spoken of the wasteful way of raising the money in the case of the Greek loan; but this was but a very small ques tion, and it was not the way in which the present question ought to be viewed. The right hon. .lentleman appeared only to consider how lie could save 5/. in this loan. The financial question was of no weight compared with the political question involved in this loan. (Hear.) His right hon. friend had spoken so coolly and composedly of the question of joint guarantees, that it convinced hill' the right hon. gentleman considered them as matters only o f a simple and every-day kind—that it mattered very little whether we entered into them or not. Now, he hopedviewed this j oint w o g u u l a d r a b n e t ees the w l a i s t h t o gr t a h t e s a e p Ir n e li d e o n f s i o o n p e , r a a n t i he d o ns. His right hon. friend had told them that the Government had bo entered uufl int herselfo to sub-contract rem ita moietywith f France,the interest by whichshe bad half yearly. The liability of the Briti s h Go v er n men t was , nevertheless, entire in the first instance to the creditor. If no remittance arrived from abroad when the day of pay ment came, would it not be the duty of the Treasury to put the Bank of England in possession of funds sufficient to discharge the interest ? If that was so, then he wished to know what corresponding obligation there was on the French Government? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had read the obligation a short time ago. Mr. GLADSTONE said that it had not been laid on the table. The words of the bill were that the guarantee would be a conjoint one, in terms of the convention ; but the convention said nothing about making the French Govern. meat liable for the issue of the money, or for enforcing the creditors' right, as in England. The legal machinery for compelling the people of England to bear all the charge was complete, but there was no such machinery with re gard to France. France had done no more than agree with England that she would send such a moiety of the money to the Eank of England. He did not deny that the two Governments stood, with regard to each other, on an equa lity, but he denied that their relations were the same with respect to the creditor. He wanted to know from the Go vernment whether they were prepared to say that the re lative position of the two parties corresponded with the legal idea of a joint and several guarantee ? Was the po sition of the British Government, with respect to liability and recovery the same as that of the French Government ? if their position was not alike in that respect, then he wished to know whether the rights of the parties were iden tical, or different ? If that house meant to take its place' in the constitution, it must take care to make its decisions respected, and see that a more careful, thrifty, and judi cious use was made of the prerogative of the Crown, with regard to the granting of such conventions. He was about to allude to certain comments which had been made that day by a colleague of the noble lord, in addressing his constituents ; but as the gentleman in question would be in his place in a few days, he should wait, so that he might have an opportunity of justifying the language he was re ported to have used. The LORD ADVOCATE said that the right hon. gen tleman had appealed to him with regard to the argument in the present case. The difference between a loan and a subsidy was easily understood. Every day merchants gave guarantees when not prepared to grant loans, and loans when not prepared to give guarantees. In the present case they had acted fin conjuntion with an ally, and were not, perhaps, free to choose the mode of proceeding. It might be that the French Government preferred a guarantee to a loan. The right hon. member for Oxford University seemed to fear diplomatic complications, and to think that a guarantee was dangerous, because it gave the parties making the guarantee power over the country accepting it. But did not a loan do so also ? (Hear.) Speaking as a lawyer he should say that a joint and several obligation meant nothing but this—that each party was liable for the whole, and that the right of the creditors to recover was equal against both. (Hear.) There might be a joint and several obligation by two parties, and yet in the same deed a greater amount of obligation might be created on the one security than the other. The guarantee would be still joint and several, though the place for payment was fixed elsewhere than it was in the bill.. • Mr. GIBSON thought they were discussing the question at some disadvantage, inasmuch as Government had not placed the whole of the correspondence between England and France on the subject on the table. Mr. WILKINSON said that, taking the loan in the worst point of view, it could, in his opinion, only be re garded as a gift of 5,000,0001. to Turkey, in return for which we should receive the assistance of men, arms, am munition, and money. He should confess that he had been taken quite by surplice by the vote of Friday evening last, but he could scarcely feel astonished that the right hon. gentleman the member for Manchester and his friends should have opposed the loan, as the best means of putting an end to the war altogether. The real opposition of the right hon. gentleman, and those who held similar opinions, was not to the loan, but to the contest in which we were engaged. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE said that the part which he had taken, in opposition to the proposed loan, was by no means based upon hip desire, by stopping the supplies, to put an end to the war. His reason for opposing the loan was that, in his opinion, by taking security in the way in which. we had done for the payment of the interest of the loan in case of its not being satisfied by Tu r k e y, w o uld invol ve this country in complications and embarrassments which he was anxious I that we should avoid. To any measure which the Govern , ment might require for the vigorous prosecution of the war he for one should be ready to give his hearty assent. (Hell., hear.) But to return to the terms of the conven tion, he should wish to ascertain from the Solicitor-Gene ral, whom he saw opposite, whether the construction which he (Mr. Walpole) put upon the word "solidairentent" was the correct interpretation ? In his own opinion the true meaning of that word was " separately and severally." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the interpreta tion which the right hon. gentleman had put upon the word " solid,airenzent" was perfectly correct. It was a French term used in legal phraseology, and it meant that the creditor might bring an action for the whole amount of his debt. The corresponding expression in our law was the word "severally." His attention had been called, for the first time to-day, to the terms of the convention, and he had introduced certain amendments into the bill before the house, which would make the English construction a faithful interpretation of the French' original. Mr. RICAIDO thought that no explanation whatever had been given as to the relative positions of the French and English Government with reference to the proposed guarantee. All the difficulties by which that guarantee was beset might, in his opinion, have been avoided by the establishment of a separate guarantee, as in the case of the Greek loan. The price of the Greek stock guaranteed by England was now at 107, while the price of the Greek stock guaranteed by France was 98, and that guaranteed by Russia, 87 ; so that the people of England bore the burden of the arrangement. He did not mean to enter further into the merits of the proposition contained in the bill before the committee, but before he resumed his seat . . . _ . _ he should wish to ask the right hon. gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer whether the sinking fund, amount ing to a certain sum per cent. upon the whole capital of 5,009,0001., was to be guaranteed by the Government? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—No. Mr. RICARDO continued—He wished then to learn how the sinkin g fund was to be expended—who w as t o b e charged with its application? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would be a matter of contract between the Government and the bondholders. . Mr. RICARDO asked if there would be no power upon the part of the Government to diminish the interest from time to time? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was not aware that the terms of the convention gave any posier to 'diminish the interest. Mr. GLADSTONE said he had at first thought that it would be desirable that the Governments of France and, England should have nothing to do with the sinking fund, inasmuch as there would bo a limitation of what he re garded as an objectionable arrangement. But on further consideration he was disposed to believe•that it would be better those Governments should reserve to themselves- a right to deal with that fund. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sni:l he be lieved there would be no difficulty in arranging the terms on which the sinking fund was to be raised by Turkey. Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR said, he considered that the continuance of our friendly relations with France were of infinitely more importance than any of the frivolous ob jections which had been raised to that convention. He believed the people were influenced upon that subject by. higher considerations than the doctrines of political eco nomy. Mr. DISRAELI said—Sir, I am sorry to have lived to hear from the hon. gentleman the member for Glasgow au invective against political economy. (A laugh.) I must say I believe that the occnrrencos of this evening fully justify our conduct in refusing to propeed in this business with that precipitation which the noble lord at the head of the Government in his impassioned • harangues advised us to adopt. What has occurred upon this occasion. Why my right lion. friend has already succeeded in introducing into this bill an expression which gives to it quite a new' character. He has succeeded in giving to the convention an interpretation which it did not bear at six o'clock this evening in the opinion cf her Majesty's Government —an opinion not hastily adopted, but adopted, as we have bean told, by a member of the Cabinet, after due deliberation on the part of the Cabinet Ministers, and there . - fi re, as I presume, aft( r deliberation in a Cabinet Council. There was a Cabinet Council held to determine , the proper interpretation to be put on a most important French epi thet, and that council decided in favour of an interpreta tion which is directly the reverse of that which the epithet really bears. At six o'clock "solidairc," in the opinion of the Cabinet, implied a united respons.bility. Bat the pro gress of the debate and those discussions which were so un patriotic, according to the noble lord, have led to an ex actly contrary interpretation of that important word, and " solidaire" is now taken to imply a separate and several responsi'oility. I cannot help thinking that such an o ccurrence asthis entirely justifies the course which the committee has taken. What does the honourable and learned gentleman the Solicitor-General say ? Why, he gives his unqualified adhesion to that interpret a tio n o f ig r the word "trolidaire' which was first broached by th e ht on. to the espeturan' and which attaches a new meaning apparent dissent ItY incurred by the conrention (marks of The Cha nce ll or from the Chancellor of the Exchequer). surely the right hop, the Exchequer shakes hie head. Bat the interpretatio°u. gentleman does not mean to repudiate learned gentleman the i Solicitor-Gener a l ea mission a strange onYes—onat gentleman —that he had not read morning. I should have thought the word given by , the lion. and Solicitor-General. No doubt the I confess I considered the ad part of the hon. and learned the convention until this more advantage to the Governmentught it would have been of noble lord would condescend to consult of the noble lord if the the Crown with respect to the meaning the law advisers of he recommends the House of toCommons treaties before , However, we have now the unqualified a d m issionsanction them. Solicitor-General that the epithet " solidair of the meaning exactly contrary to that w hi c h with °l Presses a erudition was promulgated by th e Chancellor samuch of the E xc hequer, and I believe the opinion o f the committee with the hon. and learned gentleman up on that subject. is If the hon. and learned g entle man had only expr esse d that • • I should have listened to hisaddresswith • opinion, unmixed satisfaction. But I confess there was one portion of that address which filled me with a new alarm. The hon. and learned gentleman has given us a description of our security under this treaty, from which I find that we have stri c tl y mortgage,on Turkey. Now, I want to know who is to a thatmortgage if the interestinterestin t this case should not be forthcoming more con ceive en such ar rangementan any circu mstance pregnant then fficultyy, and even danger to this country. with di I have not risen up on this occasion to vindicate the vote which I gave on Friday night. I look upon that vote with have met hon. members the most complete satisfaction. I vindicate tothe vote which who have thought it necessary they then gave. I do not wish to interfere between them and their consciences or their constituents; but I feel that, as far as I am concerned, my vote was dictated by sound a vote Policy and by constitutional feeling, and that it "is I which w ill u lti ma t e ly be generally recognised to have been 'wise and prudent. I have risen upon this occasion prin- 1 c ipally for the purpose of noticing the extraordinary doc trines I have heard laid down to-night by gentlemen who represent large and popular constituencies a nd whose opinionsi. t . I cannot excuse by the charit a ble sup position po ton that they reflection. spoke without previous Either the lioness of o C mmons has the privilege or it has not the privilege which are made . to san c ti on th ose fi nanc i a l arrangem ents - Majesty to ent er which Gove rnmen t, w h en th e y a d v i se h e r If we are to be told thaat?onvention with a foreign state. and disloyal on the part of thel twould be most impolitic and then I say it would be much housee et to exercise that privilege, it altogether. (Hear.) I hold,blitc,werevtehatrwe should be rid of that u it is a privilege t o be approached in a spirit ofgravityreverence, but - that it iq a real and a substantial privilege. (Hear, hear.) Let us for a moment consider what might be the conse quence of our treating such a proposition as that brought forward by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as a mere matter of course, lika the adjournment of tho hotre. The Government might then raise all the money necessary to carry on the war without the interference of Par liament in any respect whatever. If they could raise 5,000,000/. without our interference, why could they not raise 10,000,0001., or 20,000,0001., or 50,000,000/. ? They might thus, by a series of conventions, raise a sum of money sufficient to carry on a war which might not have received the sympathy of the country or the approbation of Parliament. lam sure hon. gentlemen must feel that nothing can be more absurd than those common-places, which the hon. gentleman the member for Lambeth has uttered upon this and upon other occasions in reference to this subject. I believe that conventions of this kind ought not to be allowed to pass without a scrupulous examination and a severe criticism on the part of Parliament. If the policy of the Government is a sound policy, it will bear that examination and that criticism, and inquiry can only serve to show the propriety of the course they have pur sued. If, on the contrary, there is, no majority that can prop up a policy founded on principles essentially fallacious, then I say the course which we have taken is not unwise or censurable. lam surprised that any gentleman can for a moment assert that it is not merely the privilege, but the highest duty of this house, on occasions like the present, not to sanction a policy such as this, or to pass measures of this kind, but with due deliberation and ample and complete discussion. I agree with those hon. gentle men who disapprove of the manner in which the policy of the convention is to be carried out; and, so far as I have listened to the debate, I find no substantial or satisfactory answer to the objections that have been made in that re spect. When I find that her Majesty's Government are not^even aware of the nature of the engagement into which they have entered, I am the more impressed with that opinion. I think the system is not satisfactory. But I am told that the policy may be unwise, the manner in which yon wish to carry it into effect may be inexpedient, but it is most hazardous of you to venture to attempt to change the course of the Government or to alter their measures, because you are not only endangering, but im perilling and destroying, your alliance with France. (Hear.) Now, before I had any idea that this convention would be placed on our table, with reference to other subjects, I took the liberty of warning the house not to encourage those stereotyped declamations of the Government about our alliance being endangered by the free expression of opinion in this House. (Hear, hear.) If our alliance with France were endangered by any such proceeding, then, indeed, I would say that that alliance is not as sub stantial as I thought it. (Hear.) I say it is the free expression of opinion that will support and cement that alliance. But if we are not to discuss the question, but always to speak in whispers when the name of our ally is mentioned, I say the time that will elapse cannot be very great before that alliance will be endangered. (Hear, hear.) Unless the alliahce springs from a sympathy of feeling and an identity of interests between both countries, there is no diplomatic arrangement, no Ministerial management that can maintain it. (Hear, hear.) It is my opinion that it arises from the homogeneity of interests and feelings that has for many years prevailed between the peoples of both countries. lam sure the alliance is sound and lasting, and that it cannot be maintained by better means than by speaking where our interests are concerned with the ut most frankness, as well as friendship. (Hear, hear.) Now, without going so far back for an illustration as the period of the treaty of Utrecht, I will take a more modern in stance of the stable nature of our alliance with France. So recently as 1852, when my right hon. friends and my self were placed in the responsible position of having ac ceded to office, we found there was a treaty negotiated and concluded by our predecessors—the authority of Par liament alone being wanted—with the Emperor of the French, on a much more important subject than the pre sent—the extradition of criminals between the two coun tries. To carry it into effect it was of course necessary to ap peal to Parliament. The Government of my Lord Derby willingly acknowledged that the treaty had been negotiated by our predecessors, and claimed no credit for the high po licy that characterised it. My noble friend the then Foreign Secretary introduced the subject in the House of Lords. It was one of great difficulty, and if not of vital, it was at least of vast, importance to the interests of the peace of Europe. Well, sir, notwithstanding we had the honour to receive the oppositioh of our predecessors in office in the House of Lords, though they were the very individuals who had ne g otiated the treaty—a specimen of that remark ably candid conduct which the Administration of Lord Derby so frequently received. (A laugh.) I acquit the noble lord (Palmerston) of all participation in it ' • and I must say that in all matters of foreign policy the noble lord behaved in a most candid spirit. Well, the noble lord the Foreign Secretary consulted his col:eagues as to the course he should pursue, and the possibilityof carrying the measure through Parliament. I gave my opinion to the effect that such was the prejudice raised against our Govern ' ment it was impossible to carry the bill through Parliament which would have ratified the treaty. I added, " the best thing you can do would be to express that feeling to the French Government, and throw yourself on the good sense and high spirit of the exalted individual who governs the destinies of the French empire." (Hear, hear.) Now, sir, had we to appeal to a common-place sovereign, his feelings might be outraged, and the consequences might be serious. But we had to appeal to a man of great capacity, and to one who had long lived in this country and understood its constitution, and his Imperial Majesty acted in a. manner that became his great position and his emi nent talents. (Hear, hear.) Ho did justice to the spirit of the English constitution, and the alliance was not destroyed. (Hear.) He did not turn round and say, " There is an end of the good feeling between France and England." On the contrary, he said, "I respect the feeling, whilst deploring the lamentable event to Europe that this treaty has not been carried into effect ; but the alliance between Frar.ce and England is too valuable to be subject to these political accidents." (Hear.) Well, that, I think, is an answer to those who come forward and assert that if Parliament ex presses an opinion upon the convention negotiated. by Ministers we are endangering the alliance between the two countries, and destroying that cordial understanding which, I admit, is at this moment, and I trust always will be, the corner stone to the power and prosperity of the people of both countries. (Hear, hear.) But whether we look to the policy of the convention, the manner in whi c h it is carried into effect, or the risk s which we may run by attempting to change or modify its terms, I confess I can see no grounds whatever for accepting the opinions of the noble lord (Palmerston) opposite. (Hear.) lam not satis fied with the progress or the principles of the war. What we want is a change in the conception and management of the campaigns. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord may come forward, and, in the same patriotic style of effusion, de mand greater sacrifices from the people. But if they make them. excited by the fervid patriotism of the noble lord and the right hon. member for Southwark, the people of Eng land will find out that they are neither securing their end nor maintaining the independence of Turkey. (Cheers.) Mr. LABOUCHERE said the right hon. gentleman had . not confined himself to the question exactly at issue. No one denied the right of the house to criticise or oppose con ventions entered into with foreign powers. Such a doctrine would be' quite unconstitutional. (Hear.) It was the :duty of the house to express its opinion freely upon such subjects, especially with respect to taxation. But the house must exercise this right with judgment •and with a due regard to consequences. (Cheers on both sides.) And he stood appalled at the boldness with which gentlemen who urged the Government to a vigorous prosecution of the war should have overlooked the perilous character of the course they had pursued on this occasion, in opposition to the present measure. He had been astonished that so many members of such eminence should have united in such a course, in the present posture of public affairs—endeavour. ing to persuade the house to strangle the measure, and declare that the Crown should not fulfil its engagements. He rejoiced that their opposition had not succeeded ; be lieving, as he did, thatthe defeat of the Government would have led to the most serious consequences. (A laugh.) He hoped the danger was escaped of imperilling the stability of the Government. (Laughter.) He believed the majo rity of the house and the country were averse at this time to a change of Administration. (La fighter. No government could have continued in office after an adverse vote on such a measure. If the friends of Lord Derby came into power, however, and prosecuted the war with vigour, h e s h ou ld be unwilling to disturb their tenure of power. (Hear.) But what would have been the effect of an adverse vote ou the measure upon the Continent- at Paris, at Constan tinople, or St. Petersburg? It would have produced the idea that we were disposed for peace at any price. He was in favour of peace so soon as it could be safely and honour ably obtained. But until then he should support the Go vernment in a vigorous prosecution of the war, and the house should not refuse its assent to the convention except upon the most serious grounds. (Loud cries of " hear.") Nor did he consider that such grounds had been shown to exist. Therefore he rejoiced that this measure had not been defeated. Mr. CARD WELL said his righthon. friend had favoured the house with a lecture on constitutional principle, in stead of urging any argument in support of the present measure. (Loud criei of " hear, hear.") No independent member had endeavoured to defend the measure by argu ment. (Hear.) His right hon. friend had relied on the importance of the stability of the Government. But it was improper to sacrifice to this object the most serious objections to a system of injudicious subsidies. (Hear.) As to the effect of a rejection of such a measure on the continent, where was that sort of argument to stop ? Was it to prevent all discussion on every measure propounded by the Government as to the war ? (Hear.) It would be cowardly and unworthy conduct on the part of the house to abstain from a free expression of opinion upon such a measure? (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said the Government had been accused of hurrying on the measure; but this was an ac cusation which might rather be urged against the Opposi tion, who had endeavoured to stifle the measure on the first stage, and to prevent its discussion. (A. laugh.) The Government did not at all pretend that Parliament had not a right to criticise or even reject such a measure. (Hear.) The terms of the convention itself implied that it could not be carried into effect without the consent of Parlia ment. But what the Government contended was that the right had been abused—(ob)—and exercised without a due regard to the interests of their country. The measure was essential to the vigorous prosecution of the war. How could the war be vigorously carried on if the Turkish army was unable to keep the field? And how could it keep the field if not paid and supported? And how could it be paid and maintained,without money? (Hear, hear.) The object of the measure was to supply the Turkish Govern ment with money for the purpose, and it was quite in consistent in those who professed a desire for a vigorous prosecution of the war to oppose the measure. He could not understand the objections to it. (Laughter.) Wls it that the guarantee was not several? Was it that it was a guaiantee instead of a loan ; or that it ought rather to have been a gift? or, on the contrary, that it was really a lga jur e ae a rd b a s ut i ht d ea y ot ? it at If the objection w e re th a t it was no t a severa l ,t h o a a n l a d w b e a r awoashtuht hadat the y i eld Governmentyielded to tthe e h s ae , o d n e - owfisahueeshoifaitphoertFarnecna was us chGoernment, not deeming the point g (float.)apsar ed I to t was be to the politicaltlP Pe a (Ida sp. ecTt hoef the qoubjeescttioionia. said th a t th e guarantee would afford either " of the gua ran t ee i gratulisement at n tle P o nw p ers t a pretext for territorial ag the answer was, th at if szucerilsao of Turkey.

Mr. DISRAELI—It was Lord Granville. Lord PALMERSTON—The case of the extradition treaty was not a parallel one, for the only result of reject ing the treaty proposed by France would be that the two countries would have to fall back upon the treaty ,already in force. He could not look at the late division on this ques tion of a loan in the light in which some hon. gentlemen regarded it. It would have been a serious thins, indeed. had the division turned out the other way. (Hear, hear.) If the treaty had been contumeliously rejected by the house and flung back with insult to the Government of France, although that act might not have broken the alliance with France it would have produced coldness in the inter course between the two countries, and its effect for the moment would have been fatal to le military exertions of Turkey. The convention had been proposed to preserve the very existence of Turkey, and to further that vigorous prosecution of the war which his right hon. friend (Mr. Gladstone) when ho left the Government was in favour; and if his right hon. friend were still in office he should hope he would take the same view of the measure they were now discussing. The object of this loan was to fur nish means to Turkey indispensable for her army, and without which she could not obtain that success whiah her allies and herself hoped for. It was with satisfactiOn, therefore, that after the protest of the right hon. gentle man opposite, he hoard him say that it was not his inten tion to interpose any further obstacle to this proposition. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY suggested after the word "jointly," the word " severally : " The LORD ADVOCATE said the form of words pro posed by the Solicitor-General was " jointly" with his Majesty the Emperor of the French, and " severally." These words wore then inserted, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. M. GIBSON' proposed to add words by which it could be ascertained what sums were transmitted to Tur key and the purposes to which they were applied. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the English Government would have na means of tracing the application of the money. Mr. GLADSTONE observed that an intimation had been made by the Government that an arrangement was about to be made with Turkey as to the application of this roan, and that it would bo well to give au assurance that its terms should be stated to Parliament. Lord PALMERSTON said that instructions had been sent to Lord Stratford on the subject of the application of the money through the Turkish commissioners. Mr. GIBSON should like to know how much of this money would go into the Turkish Treasury. He doubted whether it would be applied to the " vigorous prosecution of the war." Lord PALMERSTON said there would be no indisposi tion to furnish any returns on the subject when moved for. Mr. GIBSON said his only object was to get at the total sum which was transmitted to Turkey, and with this view he would change the terms of his amendment, and move the insertion of the words, " transmitted to the Sublime Porte on account of the capital of the loan." The committee then divided— Ayes 36 Noes l2l Majority against the amendment... —BB The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill, which was passed through committee, and reported to the house. • The Customs' Laws Consolidation Bill was passed through committee. The - amendments on the Excise Duties Bill were agreed to. TIIE LATE DISTURBANCES IN TIYDE• PARK. NQUIRY INTO TFIE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT I OF THE POLICE. The Commissioners took their seats yesterday morn ing shortly after 11 o'clock. Police-sergeant 12 A was the first witness called. He stated he had been upwards of eleven years in the ser vice, and 'five years a sergeant. He took Adam Holding into custody on Sunday, Ist July (the man sitting on a heap of earth with his wife read ing the Family Herald). The force acted on this occasion in clearing the drive as they did at races and other public places ; such as flourishing their truncheons over the heads of the front rank to in duce those behind to move back. No doubt some person's hat might have been struck; it was the case on other occasions, and then the public took it in good part. It was necessary some times to assume an attitude of determination to intimidate the people and induce them to keep back. Holden was apprehended in consequence of his hooting and yelling, and flourishing a paper about, and calling on the people not to allow him to be taken into custody. His conduct was so violent he had to be handcuffed. Witness denied that the man taken from the Serpentine was struck in the yard of the re ceiving -house. The police did not strike at the people as had been described. Witness struck no one that day. He dii not throw a delicate young man over the rails, as spoken to by Ur. Sims. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—The police always draw their truncheons when they act in a body. He was unable to say who gave the order for the truncheons to be drawn. He could not see how a prisoner could be irritated at having handcuffs put on him. He did not consider this a serious case as regarded the police, although by the 14th clause of the Metropolitan Police Act, if the charges were proved against the men charged, they would be liable to a fine of 101., or imprisonment for a limited period. By Chief Commissioner Wortley—The usual manner. of flourishing the truncheons was likely to mislead people at a distance, an induce them to imagine the people were being Struck. Mr. Herbert Williams', superintendent of the Royal Humane Society, was at the receiving -house on the Ist July. He did not see the man brought from the Ser pentine struck in the yard. He was not bleeding. Witness heard no violent language used by the police. He saw many persons take stones from the heap near the receiving-house and put them into their pockets ; the police then made a rush and drove the people away. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He was only in the yard about 10 or 15 minutes. A mistake had been made m confounding the receiving-house with the park keeper's residence, where the prisoners were taken, and the statement of Henbery, the park-keeper, as that of the Royal Humane Society's man, who in consequence had been subject to much annoyance. The stones were not considerably diminished. He saw several respectable people break through the police ; it was principally mechanics who resisted them. Re-examined by Mr. Ellice—He saw some stones thrown in the direction of Superintendent Hughes from the crowd behind. 20 D was identified by Mr. Floyd as the man who struck him when he was held by three other policemen. He was also identified by Mr. Couchman. Inspector Durkin said he was 39 years of age, and had been in the force nearly 20 years. The man who was taken from the Serpentine was very violent before he got into the water. The man was intoxicated. He found his reasoning with the people had great effect. There were some obstinate people who would not listen to reason. He cautioned the men against striking the people, and he did not see them strike any one when flourishing their truncheons to cause the people to stand back. He used great forbearance that day, and impressed it on the men. -He saw Superintendent Hughes repeat edly, but did not see him strike any one during the day. Mr. Mitchell said he witnessed his forbearance. 377 A took the " wet man" into custody. He was very violent, and it took four men to take him to the Dairy-lodge. He saw no one strike him, nor any blood about him. 1 Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—R e f err i ng t o a copy of the magistrate's clerk's notes, he asked the witness if he did not state before the magistrate at Marylebone street, in reference to Mr. Majr's case, "that, being a gentleman, if be had gone to the superintendent he might have got off by making an apology ?" Witness said he did not. 72 D went with the "wet man " in a cab to the sta tion. The man's nose was bleeding when he first saw him at the dairy lodge. He did not see any one strike him. Witness struck the man in the cab with his truncheon in self-defence. The "wet man" made a blow at him with his fists when handcuffed. The man made no complaint before the magistrates, but apologised that day for what he had done. The "wet man did not actually strike him. Cross-examined by Mr: Mitchell—The truncheon touched the man on the forehead. Witness was much punished that day. He did not hear a policeman say, " this was the best day's lark he had ever had," 63 A was identified by Mr. M`Lowman. 229 A, usually on duty at the House of Commons, spoken to by Mr. Coulcher, was put in the box for iden tification ; but Mr. Coulcher was unable to attend to do so, being in Devonshire. 229 A said he was at home the whole of the day, be ing off duty. Charles Thomas Henley, with whom 229 A lodged, corroborated his statement. Inspector Lester, of the A division, said he was 37 years of age, and has been 19 years in the force. He was on duty in Park-street on the Ist July. He denied hav ing struck any one that day. There were no policemen stationed in Lord R. Grosvenor's house that day. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—The men had no beer supplied to them that day. He was of the C divi sion, attached to the reserved A division. Mr. Sandell spoke to having been assaulted by an in spector, he believed of the name of Lester, who had the letter C on his collar. Witness had no coat with the letter C on it. 84 C stated he was 23 years of age, and had been in the service two years. He was in Park-street far ten minutes. He had no recollection of hitting a man on the back as he lay in the street or kick a man in the side, as deposed to by Mr. Humphries. By Mr. Commissioner Armstrong—The street was cleared in ten minutes. Mr. Mitchell—Then you made a sharp, short, and decisive charge ? Witness—l don't know what you mean. He did not know if ladies were in the balconies of the houses in Park-street. There were women there. He saw one man bleeding. This witness gave his evidence in a very abrupt man ner. He was asked by Mr. Mitchell what part of Suffolk he came from ; but be declined answering till he bad appealed to the Commissioner. He then stated he came from Hyde. He was not aware of a saying, " Silly Suffolk." (Laughter.) Pogce-serjeant 21 C said he was 32 years of age, and had been in the service 10 years. He denied having felled any person to the ground on the Ist of July, or having committed "more frightful destruction than ever mad man committed" as deposed against him. He touched a man on the back with his truncheon who had a stone in his hand. He ran after him and put the truncheon against him to stop himself short rather than strike the man. He did not think it prudent to apprehend him. He ran after a second man, but could not overtake him. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He heard one man say, "Give it to the blues," and he ran after him, see ing he had a stone in his hand. The description given him by Mr. Humphries was anything but correct ; it had given him a new character. He estimated the people in Park-street at 2,000. He witnessed no violence by any policeman. He used persuasion to disperse the crowd. He could not, account for the blood on the man he had referred to. By Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—He saw nothing of the attack on the people by the police as described by Colonel Lindsay. 147 A said he was 21 years of age, and has been in the force about 12 months. He was on duty in the Park on the Ist. He struck a boy on the temple (John Thomas King). On his return from Nine-street he was assaulted with stones ; one struck a child in a female's arms. She pointed the boy out to him, and he went to apprehend him. Witness was then assailed by a number of men with sticks, one of them taking his truncheon from him, and the boy was rescued. • Witness described the attack, and said he was also kicked, and produced a stick which he said he took from one of his assailants. A female struck him over the head with her parasol. Wituess's head was cut, and the next morning a place had swollen up the size of an egg. Stones and pieces of railings were flying in all directions. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He took a Mr. Smith to Vine-street for riotous conduct, and assaulting him. Mr. Smith was the son of a member of Parlia ment. The case stood over for a week, when witness withdrew the charge. The Court then adjourned. Government intend to propose to Parliament a grant of 8001. for the erection of a monument to Sir John Franklin and the officers and men who have lost their lives in the Arctic expedition.

HYDROPHOBIA.—The following remedy for the bite of a mad dog is reported to have been used by a person who was bitten by a rabid animal six times, and never used any other remedy : —Dissolve a pound of common salt in a quart of spring water, and wash and squeeze the bitten part immediately after the infliction of the wound for an hour, and then bind some salt upon it for 12 hours. This will neither counteract nor supersede any other men that may be deemed necessary. The per son bitten should keep as quiet as possible before the ablution, that exertion may not promote the absorption of the virus. In Germany when such an occurrence takes place some dust, or any dry article, is directly thrown on the bitten part, which absorbs the froth or saliva, and thereby tends to diminish infection by im bibing the infectious matter. When so many eminent practitioners have failed in their endeavours to cure this dreadful malady, so simple an expedient is worth the trial ; for, if it does not effectually cure the disorder, it I will doubtless mitigate its direful effects. rfie-A- 4 4 GRAND JURIES (IRELAND) (No. 2) BILL Oa the motion for going into committee o n thi s bill Mr. I. BUTT moved that the committee be postponed until that day three months. The bill was intended to confer extensive powers upon the Board of Works for Ire land, and as he held very strong opinions as to the conduct of that board, he should certainly object to giving them any new powers. Colonel DUNNE supported the amendment. _ _ Mr. WILSON said the bill, so far from increasing the powers of the Board of Works, was intended to transfer the powers now exercised by it to the local authorities in the counties affected by the bill. Mr. BROTHERTON moved the adjournment of the de bate. It was no use to enter on an Irish question at that hour of the night. The house then divided on the question of adjournment. For the motion )0 54 Against it Majority for the adjournment —l7 The Passengers Act Amendment Bill went through com mittee. The Dwellings for Labouring Classes (Ireland) Bill was withdrawn. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BILL. On the motion for the consideration of the Lords' amend ments, Mr. HENLEY hoped the amendments would not be pressed, as the members had not had an opportunity of considering them fully. Mr. KINNAIRD must insist on thelouse going on with the discussion of the measure, as no time could be better than the present for forwarding the progress of the bill. Mr. HENLEY said he had agreed to the simple repeal of the old law; but the present bill contained a condi tional repeal, and it was not, therefore, unreasonable to desire to postpone the discussion until next week. The bill was then postponed till Monday next. SALE OF BEER BILL. Mr. H. BERKELEY moved that the house go into com mitte to consider tha Act 17th and 18th Vict. Mr. BROTHERTON objected. Sir G. GREY explained that this was the necessary pre liminary to enable the house to consider the resolutions passed by the committee lately sitting on the subject, with the view of introducing a bill to carry out those recom mendations. The house went into committee, and leave was given to bring its the Mil, Tlie house adjourned at half-past one. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-JULY 27. LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.

There is no hope, we fear, of making him available for the purposes of the present war, in which respect he closely resembles the greater number of Eu ropean States ; but, on the other hand, he is animated by the most enlightened principles of commercial free dom, in which he is greatly their superior. In other words, not to keep our readers longer in suspense, we have just concluded a commercial treaty, through the agency of Sir John Bowring, with his Majesty the King of Siam.

The present King of Siam appears to be oue of those extraordinary men who are placed in com manding situations over a people whom they as much exceed in enlightenment as in power, and who are des tined either to reform their countrymen or to fall vic tims to the opposition which they create. The King of Siam is abotit 50 years of age. He has learnt not only English but Latin from the missionaries, and has also imbibed from them a laudable ambition to obtain a re putation in Europe as the most liberal sovereign of the East. Matters must surely be much improved since the time when the King of Siam, having dined himself, was wont to give permission, by sound of trumpet, to all the other kings of the world to do the . same. To cultivate these promising dispositions Sir John Bowring set forth in April last to visit his Siamese Ma jesty—a visit which began, continued, and ended in such perfect harmony that the Plenipotentiary and the Monarch might fairly revive, as a fitting description of their amicable relations, the now almost forgotten title of the " Siamese Twins." • The capital city of the king dom, rejoicing in the name of Bangkok, is an exceed ingly handsome town, containing 350,000 inhabitants, well built and well administered, and in every respect worthy of the enlightened Monarch who has made it the seat of his empire. The expedition was completely successful. This result was the more agreeable as our two former missions—the one under the guidance of Colonel Burney, the other of Sir James Brooke—had entirely failed of success. They found the policy of the kingdom to consist in obstructing commerce as much as possible by monopolies and every other species of ob stacle, and were utterly unable to prevail upon the then Sovereign to relax in any degree his prohibitory system. Sir John Bowring must excuse us if we are disposed to attribute the success of his mission rather to the good disposition of the King, who has recently succeeded to the throne, than to any extraordinary fascination which our Envoy was able to exercise over the mind of his Royal host. He found the King most gracious and most favourable, hospitable and kind beyond e xpe c t a ti on , and anxious above all things that the fame of his libe rality, his courtesy, and his accomplishments should spread abroad into every country in Europe. With such dispositions on either side, the negotiations proceeded merrily, and a treaty was concluded after the pattern of those we are in the habit of making with all Oriental potentates, abolishing all monopolies, throwing open the trade of the country, and appointing a consul to watch over our interests and protect our citizens. We regard the conclusion of this treaty as a matter of very real and reasonable congratulation. Even under the old prohibitive system the trade with Siam was by no means insignificant, and, now that it is thrown open, it bids fair to attain very considerable exten sion. The country produces very good sugar, rice, and woods for dying, so that it must have considerable pur chasing power, and the accession of 6,000,000 customers cannot fail to be felt in our centres of industry at home, and add fresh activity to the busy mart of Singapore. We hope that peace and harmony may long prevail be tween the two nations, and that our new friend and his successors, content with free commercial intercourse, will abstain from provoking a power which desires nothing better than to leave them in undisturbed posses sion of their Crown and territory. Nor in a political point of view is this treaty lees. greeable. The King of Siam hag, no doubt, been subjected to numerous solici tations from Russia and the United States of America, , and if he has preferred our friendship to theirs it is probably because he thought us the most favourable to his independence, and the least likely to interfere with his patrimony. This Prince, had he been disposed to be troublesome, might, had he sided with Burmah, have afforded us a great deal of annoyance, and has by his ready acquiescence in our views considerably diminished the chance of a fresh rupture between us and the Court of Ava. How different is the account which we receive of this amiable and enlightened Prince from the pictures, only too faithful, we fear, which reach us from time to time of those miserable Sovereigns of • India whom it is our delight to support under the aegis of our power against the indignation of their oppressed subjects, and the punishment which, but for us, would long ago have waited on their crimes I The defence generally urged for the support of such monstrous iniquities is, that such things are inseparable from Oriental des potism, and that we have no right to apply Euro pean notions to Asiatic manners. Therefore it is that we maintain Hyderabad and Oude in a state of chronic civil war, and tolerate the domestic feuds of the Court of Cashmere, and wink at the flagrant cor ruptions that disgrace the administration of Guicowar. ..But, while we tolerate, as we are told, from necessity, these enormities in comparatively civilized India, we find in the barbarous and remote regions of Siam kings just and merciful, hospitable to strangers and anxious to introduce among their subjects the ar t s o f peace and the blessings of civilization. If such things can be under the untutored despotism of barbarian States, surely the people of England have a right to expect the same en lightened Government within the circuit of our own dominions, and that we should not allow millions of un fortunate persons to be trampled on by a Power which only exists by our support, because we choose to think that every Eastern nation is condemned by the very nature of its government to the Fame outrages. In the meanwhile we hail the opening of the kingdom of Siam to European intercourse as a solid step in the march of improvement, as fraught with high commercial advantages, as the confirmation of our tenure of the newly-conquered province of Pegue, and a proof that our political influence is as yet wholly unscathed by the bloody and desperate contest now raging on the confines of Europe and Asia.—Times.
