The Cotton 'Market at Liverpool yesterday i closed ste a dil y, at the extreme rates o f F r id a y l ast. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, (1,500 of which were taken on speculation). The Railway Share Market was dull, with a downward tendency in prices. The next meeting in bankruptcy of Messrs. Strahan and Co. will be held to-morrow. The Brighton Railway dividend for thehalf-year is 215., b ut some parties think the loss by the Croydon accident is not included. There is sufficient just now to impart animation to the money market, between foreign loans, the increased attraction of numerous securities, and the amounts required to meet the purchases of i ndigo and colonial wool. The two great firms of Rothschilds and Barings have issued a notice of their intention to open subscription lists, but the smallest amount for which the latter will re ceive applications is 20,000 f. capital, say 7381., in th e 4 1 per Cent. Bentes, and 25,000 f. capital, equal to 6251. 10s. in the 3 per Cents. The appli cations must be made before three o'clock on the 2 6th inst., accompanied by 10 per Cent. deposit, 25 £ being reckoned to the pound, and the amount allotted will be notified with as little delay as possible, the charge being I per cent. on any Stock. obtained, while the subscription will be re turned entire, if no allotment be given. Messrs. Rothschild do not stipulate for any minimum sum to be applied for, and charge equally 8 per cent. en any allotment. The necessity of r( nil ling money, to meet any Portion of the loan applied for will cause a temporary ;.. efa nx of gold from London, and many circumstances "'duce us to think that there will upon the pre- Se nt occasion be more probability of English sub acribers being allowed 'to participate. The last returniallg of the Bank of France showed a remarkable falling off in the amount of specie, and it will be t he interest of Louis Napoleon's Government to at tract bullion to its coffers. Again it is de sirable to give support to the quotations o f Public secur iti es , an d a more limited dis tribution among the home applicants, and a Withdrawal of stock to England will assist in effect mg this. ,Finally the loan is large, and is to be even out at a p er i o d w hen the Turkish guaranteed sto ck Will be making its appearance. The axrivals specie this week from America and Australia, with the favourable reports from the " diggins,' , do e opportunely tofill up the gap which our par rtion in these loans may for a time occasion. t i eei ' 4 . ere was, yesterday afternoon, a tendency to co ,„ 11e in the rates of exchange upon several of the 25t n ental cities. Paris, 90 days, was taken at 11 8 7 to 35 ; Hamburg at 13 7 to 71 ; Frankfort at T ,_ to 118 i. ; and Trieste at 12 18 to 22. ne English Funds have been very dull, and i o e ' e i S 11 0 appearance of speculation; the French ,04,11 attracting more notice. Consols have been 3 4 t o 91, both for money and August. The New Per Cents have been 92t to 92i, and the Re duced 911 1, • E xc h equer Bills are 255. to 275. premium for those bearing interest at 21d. per cent. The New Annuity is at 17i to 15-16. A. remarkable movement is still going on in Turkish Bonds, which have risen again 2 to 3 per cent. No doubt the advance is, to a great extent, speculative, but, as usual, upon a rising market, real buyers operate freely, and if Turkey is at all to be relied upon as regards ability the stock is of course cheap. Parties should be duly warned, however, that a good deal of excitement prevails, and that a reaction may therefore occur. The Money prices have been 89i- and 911, and those for the 31st inst. 89i. and 921. Peruvian Stock is also in favour, being 77 to 781 for the per Cents., and 55i to 56 f or th e D e ferred. Th e new commit tee representing the interests of the home debt b ondholders has an advertisement in to-day's Morning papers, headed the " Anglo Peruvian .D "":inde:' although it relates wholly to the Hegan an d trribarren Stock, which it will now be at tempted to convert into 3 per Cent. Securities, on a footing with the existing English loan. The solders of the latter, - however, will scarcely be deceived by such conduct. Spanish Deferred Be a nds are 18k t o -R.

He underetood the order to stand back was. to keep within the raping.. He had .no- idea the police would have come inside and forced them further back. . Mr. Henry Male, 9, Char;ee-street, Portman-square, was in the Park froin three to six o'clock on the Ist inst., standing near the receiving-house. During that time there was some shouting, but nothing approaching a riot. The first disturbance he saw arose from a police. man striking a boy oveii the head and shoulders, who was leaning over the rails. The people cried "Shame," and after that they commenced an indiscriminate attack on the people --striking right and left ; subse quently be saw the police attacking the peope in a similar manner. In his opinion the police behaved in a very disgraceful manner. When the people cried " Shame" the police made an attack in the direction the eepression proceeded from. The men made an attack immediately on receiving instructions. Superintendent Hughes and others were there on horseback. He noticed nothing different in his conduct to that of the other superintendents. Ho could not say which gave directions to the police. He was of opi nion there would have been no disturbance had it not been for the conduct of the police. He did not see any person addressing the people, but the populace in groups expressed their abhorrence of the. Sunday Beer Bill, contrasting in their conversation the facilities the rich possessed in having their clubs and an opportunity of amusing themselves, betting the whole of Sunday, whilst the poor man was to be prevented buying a newspaper or getting shaved. The police were not abused, but some slang phrases were used. Mr. Sydney Howell, architect, 8, Gloster-street, Bel grave-road, was in the. Park, between 4 and 6 o'clock, walking between the bridge at the east end and the Re ceiving-house. He saw one stone thrown at a superin tendent of police on horseback, about 6 o'clock, imme diately after the police had made a charge on the people, hitting indiscriminately. The' people were sent back several feet from the railings, and then permitted to come forward, when the police would attack them again, and drive them back, hitting right and left. He saw one young man struck by the police, and on his remonstrating, the policeman tore. his waistcoat, struck him on the shoulder, turned him round, and struck him twice oh the back, and only because the person appeared 'disposed to take the policeman's number. The • Park, no doubt, might have been cleared if proper directions had been given. The police did not -advise the people to go home, but struck at them without notice. If it had not been for the police all would have passed off quietly, except the shouting of "Go to church." He considered the object of the populace was t ) show their abhorrence of Lord R. Grosvenor's bill. He believed the notices issued desiring the public to remain away from the Park on that day had the effect_of increasing the numbers. The Court adjourned for half-an-hour. On its resumption the first witness called was Mr. William Davis, professor of music, 84, Wimpole street, Cavendish square. He was at Hyde-park on the. Ist inst. from half-past three o'clock till half-past five o'clock. His wife was with him. When near the Serpentine he heard shoutings, groanings, and curious sounds proceeding from that quarter. He stationed himself between the east end of the Serpentine and the receiving -house, and he saw the police re peatedly order the people to leave the rails, waving their truncheons the better to enforce their orders. When a carriage passed there was a hiss, or two, which the police endeavoured to prevent, and when they thought they detected the party who hissed they apprehended him. In most instances the poorer classes were selected. He saw an inspector of po lice of the A division seize a young man and charge him with holding his fist up at a carriage that passed. Wit ness was standing for some time opposite the young man, but he did not notice his doicg so. The inspector pulled the young man from under the railing and gave him into the custody of an officer. Witness attended the next day at the police office to give evidence in favour of the young man, but was refused admission to the court by the police on duty, alleging the court was full. He saw no person haranguing the people, and there was nothing about the gathering to indicate it was for any particular purpose. By Mr. Ellice—The police struck across the railings as they moved in front of them. He did not see them strike any one at that time, because the people drew back to avoid it. In the distance he saw the police striking hard, but he was unable to identify any par ticular case. The police then made a rush and the people retreated. He attended there from curiosity. Recorder of Manchester —That no doubt was the case with the majority of the people who wore there. Mr. Adam Holding, waste paper-dealer, 22, Mareham street, Westminster, was in the Park with his wife on the Ist inst. about four o'clock. They were sittigg, on a heap of rubbish near the receiving-house reading the Family Herald. He heard a rush and left his wife to see what it was. He found the police were forming in a circle, and happening to get into the midst of them the superintendent on duty directed policeman 12 A to take him into custody. d.l RATLIViry tt, Comp au losing Prices ye,ter this day.

He said the committee had endeavoured as far as possible to make their standing orders agree with those of the Upper House. They had also determined that for the futura no member, locally or otherwise interested in any private Lill before a select committee, shall be a mem ber of that committee. Mr. F. FRENCH drew attention to the very high fees at present charged on getting private bills passed through committee, and hoped some plan would be adopted to lessen those charges. Mr. SPOONER objected to the rule laid down by the committee excluding members locally interested from being members of a committee on private bills, as he considered such members, from their local knowledge, were of the greatest service on such committees. Mr. BROTHERTON concurred in the objection of the hon. niemher for North Warwickshire (Mr. Spooner). Mr. SOTHERON defended the rule laid down by the committee. He considered that members locally in terested in a private bill would be of far greater service by giving evidence before the committee as witnesses than in the anomalous position of members of the com mittee. Mr. BARROW expressed his concurrence in the view of the rule expressed by the hon. member for North Warwickshire. Mr. BOUVERIE said the local member was by the rules excluded from acting as a judge on private bills ; and as an advocate, he must also be excluded, so that the only character he could appear in would be as a witnese. There was, however, one objection to that, because there was no means of cross examining him. There were no local members on railway bills, and he never heard yet that the public interest suffered from that fact. (Hear.) He therefore hoped the house would support the report of the committee. After a few observations by Sir R. FERGUSON, Mr. DEEDES, and Sir J. DUCKWORTH, Lord SEYMOUR said he thought they had better at once adopt the rule of the committee and exclude local members altogether as members of committees on pri vate bills. and admit them only as witnesses. Mr. MUNTZ also considered it better to admit local members as witnesses only. He skip - thought i# would be much better if all witnesses before committees should be examined upon oath. (Hear.) After some observations from Sir W. HEATHCOTE, in reply, stating his readiness to adopt the amendment of Mr. Deedes, Sir G. GREY said he thought that the majority of the house was in favour of the proposition of the com mittee, and it would, therefore, be better at once to adopt it and lEiave local members to be examined as wit nesses. Mr. ALCOCK could not agree with the suggestion of the hon. member fur Birmingham ) that it was necessary to have members sworn before they gave evidence before a committee. He agreed, however, with the proposition that local members should not sit on committees where the interests of their constituents were at stake. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE supported the report of the committee. After some observations from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY and Mr. APSLEY PELLATT, Mr. BROTHERTON expressed a hope that the hon. member for North Warwickshire would not divide the house upon this question. Mr. R. SPOONER said be felt so strongly upon the question that he felt compelled to divide the house upon it. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the proposition of the committee . 80 Against it —23 Majority The report was therefore agreed to without any mate rial amendments. Mr. BAINES presented several petitions from Leeds and its neighbourhood, praying for an extension of the hours for opening public-houses on Sunday. ILEPT SITTING.] ••• "''.' Do Gt. Wes= Yk.

The Commissioners took their seats OAR morning a. 11 o'clock and resumed the inquiry. The attendance was more numerous than yesterday at the commence ment of the day's proceedings. The Recorder of London said it should be understood that persons having complaints to make should put themselves in communication with Mr. Mitchell, which would be the means of saving them trouble and expense. Mr. H. H. Aubery, 76, Stanley-street, Eccleston square, late a lieutenant in the Horse Guards, Blue. He was in Italy and Sicily in 1848, and saw much of the rioting that took place there. He had frequently had to disperse mobs both abroad and in England. He was in the Park on Sunday, the Ist inst., between four and six o'clock, and saw a largo concourse of people. As he was was walking by the Serpentine his attention was directed to a horse in a carriage coming at a rapid rate, as if it bad been frightened by the mob ;- he went to the rails to have a better view of the horse—two lads, of about 17 years of age, standing in front of him leaning over the rails. A policeman, a young man, came up and struck one of the lads a violent blow over the head, saying, " Stand back stand back !" and im mediately after poked the other lad savagely in the sto mach with the end of his truncheon, which caused him to fall back. Neither of the boys did anything to cause such treatment. The policeman, seeing him looking in tently at him as to be able to recognise him again, crossed to the other side of the road, and violently pushed his truncheon against two other lads ; he was unable to take the policeman's number or letter, and was doubtful if he should know him again. After that he watched the conduct of the police, and he saw many p ersons with blood streaming over their faces from blo ws received from the police ; he saw the police making an indiscri minate attack on the people on the grass with their truncheons ; he did not see any females struck ; he thought the police acted very wrongly on the occasion, but much depended on the orders they received ; he could onTy describe it to a charge of cavalry having truncheons for sabres; be thought there would have been no serious disturbances had it not been for the police. Recorder of Liverpool—Would the mob have allowed carriages to pass ? Probably t he without some remarks. T:le populace were exceedingly good humoured, and he could not help contrasting the previous eon duct of the police with that of Sunday, Ist July. By the Recorder of London—He did not see that the carr iages were driven out of the P ark b y the p o p ulace on the Ist of July. It was only at one p articular p art near the Serpentine the cries of "Go to church " proceeded. He saw no ladies leave their carriages. Examination continued—Hew bad stated to many friends he hoped an inquiry ould be made into the conduct of the police, but he had no wish to court popu larity by approving of mob law. It was in consequence of seeing an advertisement in the papers on Monday, 2d July, calling on persons who could give any information on the conduct of the police the previous day to do so, that h e wrote to the address stated, but that letter was published without his knowledge or consent. Crosteexamined by Mr. Ellice—He did not see the blows struck ; but he saw blood flowing from the wounds, and it was impossible for him to say whether the wounds were inflicte d by tbe police truncheons or stones. He did not know how many policemen were wounded that day. Neither did he know how many convictions took place the following day before the ma gistrates for throwing stones. It was the duty of the police, no doubt, to make the road-way safe for the use of the pub lic. Re exam ined—The mob obeyed the police as well and as readily its they could. J o hn Th, mas King, a lad, 17 years of age, residing at Hart's-built dings, Westbourne•street, Eaton-square, was in Hyde pa rk with his father, on the Ist of July, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening; He saw a policeman dragging along a little boy. He went to see what it was, when be was pushed forward by the mob, and police-constab le 174 A struck him a violent blow with his truncheon on the side of his forehead, the. marks of which were still visible ; the blow felled him to the ground, and as he lay there partly insensible, be was struck three times by the same policeman ; the second blow over the right ear rendered him insensible, and be only recovered when his wounds were being dressed at St. George's Hospital. He was then' taken home, and was unable to work for a week afterwards. He was under a surgeon for four days. He suffered much now from the effects of the blow. By Recorder of London—At the time he was knocked down he was on the grass near the roadway. The mob were crying "Shame." He saw no violence used towards the police, nor any stones thrown. There was no at tempt to rescue the boy from the police. Mr. Ellice asked for the address ,of . the surgeon who attended the witness, which was furnished him. Recorder of Manchester said it was obvious the wit ness had received a recent wound. John Martin was next called. He said he belonged to the Royal Albert, now in the Black Sea. He was one of the Naval Brigade, and was invalided home from The mob ff, but, being four wounds he received in the trenches before Sebasto pol. He was in the Park on the above da y . He was inside the rails when the police made o a sortie from the e road to he othewasgrass' left behind. Policeman 349 A. made an arm, and and one on th e thi g h, w hich caused a policeman struck him several attack on him. lie . cried out f or quar t e r, but he gaveblow blows o n o on t e k . s am wound he had there to burst out bleeding. He had a stick with him with which he endeavoured to parry the Paid no attention to his en blows. Thep T T h h e e peliee w m a e s n , generally speaking, quiet. The shouting of "Gooto church" was from small boys. He saw no stones thrown, but he did one ,piece of railing. By the Recorder of London —He did not use his stick. No accusation was made against him for assault. There was ample time and opportunity for him to have been apprehended had he assaulted the officer. Recorder of Liverpool—lf he had no wound on the thigh he should have considered it a severe blow. Recorder of London—The police struck out indiscri minately for the pu r pose of inflicting injury. He was This day a special general meeting of the proprietors was held at the offices of the company, Lothbury, for the purpose of receiving the half yearly report, and declar ing a dividend. The chair was occupied by John Lewis Ricardo, Esq. • The usual routine business having been disposed of, The SECRETARY read the report, from which we ex tract the following : " The directors have the pleasure to report that, after making provision for all bad and doubtful debts, paying the income-tax, and setting apart 2,000/. towards the new buildings in Lothbury and Bloo►nsbury, the net profits of the bank for the last half-year amount to 81,0891. Out of this sum the directors have allowed interest on the rest or surplus fund at the rate of 5 per cent., and they now declare a dividend to the share holders at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and also a bonus of 4 per cent. upon the paid-up capital. After these payments are made there is a balance of 7,7251. 16s. 9d., which is carried forward to the credit of profit and loss account for theensuing half-year. Circumstances having induced the directors to consider it advisable to establish a branch near Temple-bar, they have opened temporary offices in that locality." The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the re port, it was unanimously agreed to and the proceedings terminated. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

KIEL, JULY 14.—Considerable surprise has been ex pressed et the recent resignation of two officers of the Lubeck Contingent force ; and it is presumed that they have found their way to Heligoland, to join the British Foreign Legion. They will be found to be the precur sors of many others, not only from the Hance towns and districts more immediately in the vicinity of the coast, but many who have served their time in the Prussian and Hanoverian armies arc watching the op portunity of making a tender of their services to Eng ' land ; a feeling which is greatly strengthened by the contempt with which they regard the conduct of the courts of Germany, and especially o f that of Berlin, in the whole of their recent 92 63i i 11i 12 lot 100L1 71 3 11 i .3 105 69i 8i 46 11i i ex in 18: 4 17 50 50 50 25 St. 20 St. 15 10 St. :30 :i0 St. St. St. 8 tO 10 St. 26i 50 12 1 .; 10 lf pro Pm 131 112 - 106 -- 9i - 11 - 17 10i - 76 - 20} - 101 - 151 139 ,•• 2~ - .~'~ 13i - 13 - 29 - 141 97 - 99 •4i - 4h 102 - 104 95 -97 3i - , .. -•••• •• par 104 - 108 14i - par 231 - 101 - 23i 103 16 -18 ••• - 2 - llf lie 105 4 IMPERIAL PAHL! AME NT. HOUSE _OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the wool sack at five o'clock. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented several petitions against Church-rates , THIRD READINGS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a third time and passed, viz. :—Halford's Estate; Royal Medical Benevolent College; Londonderry and Coleraine Railway ; Cavendish Bridge and Hulland Ward Road ; East Kent Railway (Extension to Dover); Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway (Im provement and Branches) ; South Staffordshire Railway (Amendments) ; and Dearness Valley Railway (Amend ments). The Earl of ALBEMARLE gave notice of a mo tion, for which ho should not fix a day at present. It was his. intention to call the attention of the house to the trade transacted in Russian products under an order in council of the 15th of April, 1854 ; also to bring under the attention of the house the effect such sanction may have had upon sustaining the finances of the enemy, and of affording him thereby the means of prolonging the present war, He wished to give her Majesty's Government due notice, that they might have an opportunity of taking prompt steps to remedy the evil complained of, and of rendering it unnecessary for him to pursue a course which would have the effect of causing a separation between himself and the political party with which he usually acted. He would again endeavour to persuade her Majesty's Mi nisters that in making the motion he did not contem plate any departure from the spirit of that portion of the Act of the' order in council' of 1854, which relates to neutral flags, nor did he contemplate any violation of the law in respect to neutral countries. The noble earl then read extracts from the letters of a gentleman connected with the over land trade between this country and Russia, and who had hioasslf extensive dealings in that country. Those extracts showed to what a system this overland trade had been reduced, and that so long as it was continued our sea blockade would be rendered wholly inoperative. For obvious reasons, it would not be prudent in him to mention the name of the writer of these letters in public, but ber Majesty's Ministers were fully aware of the name, and he should be happy to communicate it in private to any noble lord who wished to ascertain it.

HALL then moved the postponement of this bill till next session, is order that the bill might be printed and circulated during the recess. Agreed to. In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, Sir B. HALL again rose and said it was his intention, as he stated the other day, to introduce a short bill during the present session to continue the present Board of Health for one year. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS BILL. --- The house then went into committee on the above bill, taking the resumed discussion at clause 2, from July 12. Clause to 29 inclusive were, after some verbal addi tions'and alterations, agreed to. Clauses 30, 31, 32, and 33 were agreed to without any amendments. Clause 34, which provided for the appointment of dis trict surveyors, and pointed out their duties, was agreed to. Clauses up to 45 were agreed to, after some short dis cussion, with a few verbal amendments. On clause 46 being put, which provided for the pay ment of district surveyors, Mr. HENLEY said that these officers had a legal status in their office, and that something should be done for them, so that without any fault of their own their remuneration might not be taken from them. The clause was agreed to, after a short discussion. Clauses up to 94 were agreed to, without any amend ments. Clause 95 was struck out of the bill. The whole of the other clauses of the bill, afthr some discussion, were agreed to, and the bill wag ordered to be further considered on Thursday next at 12 o'clock. The house at 4 o'clock adjourned to 6 o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock. BARON ROTHSCHILD. Mr. WALPOLE brought up the report of the corn mittee with respect to Baron Rothschild and the loan of 16,000,0001. to the Government. The report stated that it was the opinion of the committee that no contract had been entered into by Baron Rothschild with respect to that loan that would have the effect of coming within the provisions of the Act that compelled members contracting with the Government to vacate their seat 4. The result is that Baron Rothschild will still retain his seat. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. Mr. LAYARD—I wish to ask a question of the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government, of which I have not given him notice. If, therefore, it is incon venient for him to answer it now, I will repeat the ques tion on some other occasion. A. document has appeared in the public prints purporting to be the declaration of the Auetrian Government to the Diet at Frankfort. It is there stated that Austria looks upon the first two points as completely settled at the conferences of Vienna, and declares she will occupy the principalities until peace is accomplished ; and I understand there is a commission now sitting at Vienna for the purpose of framing a con stitution or some form of government for the Danubian principalities. I wish to know whether that statement is correct, and whether there has been any protest by her Majesty's Government or Lord Clarendon against any arrangement being come to at Vienna on the part of a number of Moldavian and W a llachian gentlemen ; and, if so, whether a copy of that protest can be laid on the table of the house ? Lord PA.LMERSTON—I have not seen the papers to which the hon. member refers, but I think I can an swer his question. Certain arrangements were provision ally agreed to at the Vienna conferences, with the clear understanding that they were parts of the whole, and her Majesty's Government consider themselves free as regards the parts until the whole shall be settled, al though, of course, we shall adhere to the principles on which the four points were founded. The treaty ar rangements were only provisionally agreed to, and the two Governments of France and England must be free when they come to enter again into negotiations with regard to any arrangements to be made on those points. With respect to the intentions of Austria with regard to the occupation of the principalities, the hon. member and the house know that Austria has engaged by treaty with Turkey to defend the principalities, from any at tat* by Russia ; therefore the occupation, whatever it be, can only be for the purpose of preventing an3r new invasion of the principalities by Russia. As to any commission sitting at Vienna, I am wholly ignorant of it. It is obvious that no commission can be sitting with authority at Vienna, because the parties be tween whom arrangements for a peace should be made are the parties who would have to contract a treaty of peace- —Turkey, England, and France, on the one hand, with Austria, so far as she entered into engagements , and Russia on the other. As t o the protest against arrangements provisionally entered into, I am not aware that ally has been made. M:r. LAYARD — I shal l re p eat my q uestion as to the prote Ist of Moldavian an d Wallachian gentlemen o Thur sday. LOI ID J. RUSSELL'S MISSION TO VIENN A . LOI Mr .

Mr. GLA.IY3TONE reminded the noble lord that be had just fixed Tnursday for the discussion of the Turkish Loan. Which subject would have precedence ? Lord PALITTERSTON--The Turkish- Loan will be taken first. SUPPLEMENTARY AeR MY ESTIMATES. Sir D. L. EVANS asked Ote Under-Secretary of the War Department at what time' he expected to bring .lre the supplementary military estievates. Mr. PEEL did not know that' it would be necessary to submit any additional army estimates at all, but wale not quite sure upon the point. MANAGEMENT OF Te.,X WAR. THE SEBASTOPOL WS IMITTEE. Mr. ROEBUCK rose to move the ree .olution of which be had given notice—" That this house, de, Iply lamenting th sufferings of our army during the winter • campaign in the Crimea, and coinciding with the resolutioi a of their cow mittee, that the conduct of the Administi en was the first and chief cause o f the calamities whip h befell that army, do he eeley visit with severe reprehensio u every mein. her of that Cabinet whose counsels led to suc h disastrous results." Sir, said the hon. member, it is with the utmost; sincerity I say I view with alarm my own pe e talon. A. great question is now to be submitted to the ho r. se, and he who has to submit it is totally inadequate to t he per formance of the task. Bat, sir, feeling strongly as t o the truth of the proposition which I have to submit, I will shortly address myself to the subject now before the ho u se. First, I will call to the recollection of the house the , el:r cumstances under which the committee was appointed,. which has led to the report which, in fact, is th 0 foundation' of any proposition. A great army was sent from this country on an expedition about which the country was in profound darkness. That army was composed of as gallant spirits as ever left the shores of this country. (Hear, hear.), They displayed a valour which did honour to Englishmen, and, in mayietg that, I think I say all that can be said in praise of thee,. (Hear, hear.) That army reached its destination, and th, ea there grew up and pervaded the public mind rumours of d.'saster, distress, and suffering which harrowed the feelings of the nation. These rumpurs carne not in consequence 0 , r official docu ments, but from private sources. From day to , 'lay the public mind was harassed ,by dreadful disclosures of distress and. suffering borne by our gallant countrymen wheem we had sent to tight the battle, of England ; great was tla alarmn i this country, great was the disappointme nt . Fre ed by the publics anxiety, and being myself deeply imprea ied with the feeling of my countrymen—strongly commisei •a, ting the misery of which we heard from day to day most ha rowing descriptions—l gave notice, although most unequa Ito the task, of a motion for an inquiry into the truth o .f: these reports. How that motion was met must be in the recol lection of the house. The committee which I ask a I for was appointed. I hope the house will permit me to • saY, and not think me presuming when I do say, I am dee PLY sen sible of the kindness of that committee towards my, le If. In prosecuting this inquiry we only twice came to a d le i. sion in that committee —once on the proposition of 11l e right hon. baronet the member for Droitwich (Sir J • Pakington) to make the committee a secret committe ee and the second time, on a proposition I made on the con elusion of our labours. The committee conducted its pro- ' ceedings in the most frank and, I think, too, in the most generous manner. Their object was the truth, and, how ever humble and unfitted I may have been to monducti that inquiry, I must say, no body of men' coul,l have manifested a more candid desire than they did to elicit the truth, which it was their sole object to obtain, without the slightest intention of creating indiv taus' pain, or casting :unjust reflections on any one. 'That committee came to , a conclusion, and that conclusion was to substantiate to the letter every report that had b eon circulated concerning the sufferings of our army. (flea r.) I proposed at the close of a committee a resolution, whicit was supported by the majority, I giving the casting vote but, Sir, I do not think I am disclosing anything whic b. ought not to be told, when I say that the noble lord th, er member for Totnes (Lord Seymour), to whom the country ' and the committee are deeply indebted, and none more deeply than myself for the kindness and.consideration which. he manifested throughout —that n oble lord, when I proposed. the resolution, said, in the resolutions passed by the com mittee he concurred, but as the resolution's, with that which I proposed, were submitted es a whole, and as my resolu tion contained a condemnation of the conduct of Lord Reg. lan, he could not vote for any part thereof, although he coin cided in a great measure with the propositions made at that time. Thus, in reality, the report of the but commit tee was not carried solely b y m y casting vote, must be considered as the opinions of the cog mittee as a body. In mentioning Lord Raglan, I hope the house will allow me to express my s incere o p inion, seeinnt, g that the world believes that I h ave done that gallould a spirit some wrong. Sir , were he alive I -w not venture to address this house upon this subject, but, as he is no more, I think I am bound, as an Englishenan and an honest man, to express my sentiments regataiing that gallant nobleman. That he was a great soldier —that he was endowed with great qualities—that he did good service to his country, and that he has died in hor service, aro the recollections which hallow his name in the mina'S of his countrymen, and which compel me not u nwillingly' to offer this humble tribute to his memory. Hewing said. thus much, sir, I hope the house will now allow m e to pur sue the thread of my discourse. The committee c t age to a definite conclusion, and that conclusion was one wiiich di rectly inculpated the members of Lord Aberdeen's G ovens ment. Perhaps the house will allow me to read they xeso lution of the committee upon that matter, and, as it steould seem to depend upon my casting vote, I beg that attention which the report of a committee always receives at the hands of the house itself : " It appears that the suffe rin g s of the army r esult ed mainly from the circumstances in which the expedition .to the Crimea was undertaken aud, executed. The Adminib,. tration which ordered that expedition had no adequate infer-. !nation as to the amount of force in the Crimea or Sebastopol. They were not acquainted with the strength of the fortresses to be attacked, or with the resources of the country to be in vaded. They hoped and expected that the expedition would bo immediately successful, and, as they did not foresee the probability of a protracted struggle, they made no provision for a winter campaign. What was planned and undertaken without sufficient information was conducted without sail. cient care or forethought. This conduct on the part of the Administration was the first and chief cause of the calamities( which bed our army." Now, sir, when a committee of the House of Comments thus solemnly appointed, appointed too by an overwhelm" .• ing majority of the house, comes to so definite and see pointed a conclusion respecting the members of the Admi nistiation wilich determined upon sending forth that expe dition, I thick that, as chairman of that committee, it is incumbent upon me to submit that resolution to the house—(herer, to hear)—and that to leave it there as a mere brutunt fulmen, be satisfied with the reti rement of Lora Aberdeen and the Duke of Newcastle —for that was the result—is, I think, totally inade qua te to the occ asion- The committee, solemnly inqu irin g , came to the conchae sion that the whole Cabinet were included inthat condone nation, and I am now about to call upon the house to yin dicate their committee, and to say that the whole Cabinet were guilty. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I shall divide the Cabi net of Lord Aberdeen into three separate p a rts. In thee first division I clas s those who were excluded by the =sacs' lution of this house appointing the committee —namely, Lord Aberdeen and the Duke of Newcastle; in thee second. division I includ e those who ma y be considered impore t au t members of that C abinet ; the members I mea n are the noble lard at the head of the present Administration, then Home Secretary, the noble lord the member for the city of London, the right hon. gentleman the neem the and r for Carlisle, the then Ch ancellor of the Exchequer., right hon. gentleman the member for South 'Wiltshire. Ail the rest of the Cabinet I consider as the melee herd• (Laughter.)

That they were insignificant I admit. h cheers, and laughter.) But that insignificance is Pleao against the condemnation of this house. They lent suds e.n B : thority as they had to the deter mination of the Adroit I L . tration, and they gavetheir voice, if they did nothing n't (H ea r.) That was the support which the Government _ pected from them, and they received it.
