Governineat did not :iptend to bring in any bill to amend the law.on the subject during the present session. 110IfSE OF COMMONS OFFICES BILL. Lsrd ST,ANLEY of ALDERLEY moved the first reoding.ot this bill. The bill was accordingly read a first time. Their lordships then adjourned. (Front the Times of this day.) The publication of the Crimean Report has at least had the effect of convincing the aocused Crimean officers that some explanation of their conduct during the period of their command is expected from them. In this report certain specific charges are made against many officers —among others against the Earl of L ucan , th e E ar l o f Cardigan, Sir Richard Airey, and Colonel Gordon. The representations made by Ministers in the two Houses of Parliament in palliation of the conduct of their chief military agents are now proved to have been totally un true. The &hums gossip of " good society," and of the fierce old gentlemen in the clubs, has been duly weighed in the balance, and may now be estimat e d a t it s p ro p er worth. The fact simply is, that between them the chief English officers in the Crimea destroyed one third of the . army committed to their care. Th ree -f our th s o f the misvy and starvation, and suff er i ng f rom co ld an d wan t of clOhing. to make no mention of the absolute anni hilation of our splendid cavalry, must be referred to the gross incapacity of the officers in chief com mand. These gentlemen are now strutting about our streets with all the halo of heroism around their heads ; they are receiving rewards from foreign Sovereigns ; they are promoted to honours and dignities at home, as though they had not do ne suf ficient mischief in the East, and as if the past were to be slurred over and forgotten. The report of Sir John M'Neill and Col. Tulloolo has 'ellen like a Russian shell in the midst of therm dreamer*, And they appear to be at last convinced that a day of reckoning has come which they cannot evade.' This rsport—this official report, set ou foot by the Government, and conducted by the agents of the -Government—milt receive 44 amplest conside ration, and every officer whose conduct tias been therein impugned, must be brought to the most exact account. The Peers who took share in the debate last night appear to have, as it were, an inkling of this great truth, but they understand so little the gravity of the position that they fancy a few formal declarations and formal vouchers will be sufficient to satisfy the, public. This is not so. By all means, if the Earls of Lucan and Cardigan, if Sir R. Airey, and Col. Gordon, are falsely accused, let Sir J. and Col. Tullocb, and all the officers and soldiers they examined, be covered with confusion. If, on the ntber hand, they are proved guilty of negli gence,' of incapacity, of gross unfitness for command ; —if it can be shown that the greatest share of the destruction which fell upon the British army bofora Se bastopol was due to their unofficer-like administration of their important trust, by the consequences they must abide. Fair play for all. But there is fair play for the dead as well as for the living. The blood of 10,000 gal hint veterans—the flower of the .English army—as true heroes as Lord Lucan or Lord Cardigan, or as Sir R. Airey or Colonel Gordon, cries from the ground for jus tice. The House of Peers is the highest court ofjudica ture in the realm—we solemnly admonish them, in the name of the English people, how they prejudge this cause. If they come forward as partisans, they will simply link the prestige of their order to th e fortunes of men who are labouring under the weight of a heavy accusation, brought against thorn by agents who have in the most dispassionately judicial spirit reported upon the case. LIVERPOOL, FEE. 11. The Royal mail steam-ship America has arrived with advices from Boston to the 30th ult., and from New York (by telegraph, via Halifax) to the 31st. ' She brought no specie on freight. The Royal mail steamship Arabia arrived at Halifax on the 31st ult., and proceeded to Boston. The papers do not contain any information re specting the differences with England on the enlist. went question.

In the Senate, on the 28th ult., Mr. Cass de livered a speech, which occupied two hours and a half, on Central American affairs. Alluding to the remarks of the National Intelligences, that the country might be drifting into difficulties, he said that he did not believe it. He thought. the ship of State was ou its true course, and the pilot doing his duty. , Mr. Cass used strong language, denun ciatory of the positions assumed by the British Go vernment relative to the Protectorate in Central America, characterising its pretensions in setting up a king over the Mo4quito Indians as mere mockery, under which England alone exercised real soveroiguty. Mr. Clayton corroborated Mr. CMs by reading extracts from documents, showing thst the British Vice-Consul was the real Governor of Mosquito, and gave titles to land in his own A 0920,, Mr. Collamer contended that Mire could be no possible pretext for the assumption of England, that the occupation she agreed not to exercise was only prospective, and had uo reference to the occu pation which she then held. He, however, thought the time for legislative action had not arrived, in asmuch as the President, in his annual message, expressed hopes that there might still be au amica ble adjustment of the controversies between this Government and Great Britain. The subject was then postponed. A resolution, declaring "any agitation of the slavery question unwise and unjust to a portion of the American people and injurious to every section, and ought not to be countenanced," had been adopted by a majority of one in the House of Re• presentatives.

On the motion that this bill be read a second time, Sir E. DERING moved that it be read a second time that day three months. The inhabitants of St. Peter's most strongly objected to a certain clause, and the reason that they bad not opposed the bill in the first instance was that, till Friday last, they were unac quainted with its provisions. If the hon. members whose names were at the back of the bill would with draw the objectionable clause, he would withdraw his opposition. Mr. BROTHERNON said the clause would be with drawn. The bill was then read a second time. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills 'were severally read a second time, and ordered to be oottulatit,*- -- ,bigenalaki,VA and Wexford Railway, Barduey, &I Drainage, 134 wiry and Tinsley Road, Crowland and Eye Road, Dews bury, Batley, and Heckmondwike Water, i Forest! of Dean Central Railway ; Hampstead Junction, Railway ; London, Tilbury, and Southend Rail way (Additional Capital, • &c.) ; London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway (Extension and Branches) ; Perth, Almond Valley, and Methven Railway ; Perth Burgh and Harbour ; Poole and Bourne Valley Rail way ; Uttoxeter aed Blythe Marsh Road ; and Wem and Bronygarth Roads ; Calnbrook, Dafchet, and Slough Road ; Conway and Llandudno Road ; Mid:and Great Western Railway of Ireland ; Prisoners' Dis charge Society.

Mr. MALINS gave notice of his intention to intro duce a bill to do away with the present distinction be tween special and simple contract debts. SALARIES OF COUNTY 'COURT JUDGES. Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that on that day fort night he would move for leave to bring in a bill to regu- late the salaries of county court judges. SANDHURST COLLEGE. Colonel NORTH asked what steps bad been taken by the Government (in accordance with the promise made last year) to carry into effect the recommendation of the Committee on Sandhurst College for the admission of 10 additional cadets into the orphan class at that esta• blishment ? Mr. F. PEEL said no steps had been taken to fill up the proposed cadetships, because it was thought better to let it stand over for the present. PREVENTION OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. Mr. SEYMOUR FITZGERAL D asked the Vice- President of the Board of Trade whether it was his in tention to propose, during the present session, any mea sure for the prevention of accidents on railways ; and also, as it appears from the proceedings in reference to the report of the officer appointed, t inquire into the condition of the Eastern Counties Railway, that, though the Board of Trade had the power to direct inquiries into the condition of any line of railway, it had no power to compel the repairs that may be absolutely necessary for the security of the public, whether it was his inten tion to introduce any measure for the purpose of invest ing the Board of Trade with the authority necessary for the purpose '? Mr. LOWE said it was the intention of the Presi- dent of the Board of Lade to introduce his bill of last session, with reference to railway accidents. The second part of the question was under discussion. In answer to a question front Mr. M'Ma.itiolv, Mr. lIORSMAN said it was not his intention to bring in any measure for facilitating the reclamation of Irish waste lands ; neither did he intend to bring in any measure to amend the Irish grand jury system. Colonel W. I'ATTEN asked whether the joint com mission agreed to in the month of August last by the Emperor of Morocco and her Majesty's Minister Pleni potentiary, to arrange a commercial treaty, had yet met, and, if not, what was the cause of the delay Lord PALMERSTON said that in consequence of some delay on the port of the Emperor of Morocco, which he explained, the treaty alluded to had not yet been arran cd. REGULATION OF THE NAVY. Mr. BRADY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he intended altering the regulations in her Majesty's navy, by which the following officers were at present not allowed to have the distinguishing mark of gold lace on the cuffs of their undress coats, thereby reducing them to a level with the inferior grades of officers, viz.: Inspectors and deputy inspectors of hospitals, staff sur geons, surgeons and assistant surgeons, paymasters and assistant paymasters ? Sir C. WOOD said the regulation of uniform for the navy was under consideration. SA RDINIA. AND THE EAST. Mr. LA.YARD asked the First Lord of the Treasury if the report with reference to the exclusion of Sardinia from the late conferences atConstantinople was true, and if Sardinia had protested in consequence ? Lord PALMERSTON said that the Conferences al luded to had reference only to the fourth point, that of the arrangements to be made by the Sultan in favour of his non-Mussulmen subjects and to the principalities. Sardinia had not been communicated !with on the subject, it being considered not a question affecting the peace negotiations, but to be decided on by the Sultan independently. Sardinia applied to be admitted, but the represeu tatives of France and England having no instructions on the point, Sardinia therefore was not present at the conferences. MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL (SCOTLA ND). Leave was given to Mr. EIVART to bring in a bill to extend the provisions of Scottish Municipal Reform Act to certain Royal Burghs in Scotland now excluded from the benefits of that act. PUBLIC JUSTICE. Mr. NAPIER moved the following resolution : "That in the opinion of this house, as a measure of ad ministrative reform, provision should be made for an efficient and responsible Department of Public Justice, with a view to secure the skilful preparation and proper structure cf Parliamentary bills, and promote the pro gressive amendment of the laws of the United Kingdom." (LEFT SITTING.) - The Hon. Mr. Dallas is reported to have accepted the post of Minister to England, vice Mr. Buchanan. There was a rumour current that a filibustering expedition, numbering 500 men, had landed at San Blas, Lower California.

William Wylie and Robert Wylie, block builders and spirit dealers, Glasgow. A shocking affair had occurred in Kentucky. A number of fugitive slaves having taken refuge in a house the police officers proceeded to arrest them. The slaves fired and wounded several of the spec tators. One slave woman, finding escape impossible, cut the throats of her children, killing one instantly and severely wounding two others. Six of the fugitives were apprehended, but eight of another party are said to have escaped. The freezing of the Ohio liver offered great facilities for fikitive slaves. Two British agents, named Galbraith and Gillis pie, who had, in default of bail, remained in prison at Buffalo since August last on a charge of enlist ing soldiers, had been released on providing secu rities for their future appearance. Fourteen persons had been drowned in Chesa peake-bay by the capsizing of a schooner. The steam-ship Star of the West had arrived at New York with $613,446 in California gold. Pas sengers by her had crossed tho Isthmus of Panama in 22 hours. The proceedings last night in the Rouse of Peers amount to this :—Lord Cardigan gave notice to the Secretary of the War Department, "That, having been reflected upon in, as he considered, a very unfair manner in the report of a commission appointed by her Ma jesty's Government to inquire into the conduct of the war in the Crimea, he should feel it his duty to-morrow to transmit to the noble lord a full explanation of his conduct as animadverted upon in that report." There is no objection to this step, as far as it goip, bat what is the court of inquiry to which he appeals 3 Clearly the military authorities, who with this report before them—for they had it in July last—have heaped honours on the officers accused, do not , constitute a tribunal in which the country will have confidence. Lord Lucan, for his part, has written a letter to the Secretary of State, in which he contradicts "in a most positive man- nor every part of the report." In other words, lie pleads "not guilty " to the charge against him : but Where is the judge ? where are the jury ? Surely the bare denial a Lord Lucan is no answer to the solemn report of Sir Jahn M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch, resting as it does upon the testimony of witnesses whose names are given, and whose evidence is printed ? Lord Panmure rose after the two officers accused in the character of the " tumoral° del diavelo ;"—lie was sure, for his part, that the Commissioners had not the slightest intention of attacking the character of the noble Earls ; and, on the whole, he was for treating the popular clamour with suitable contempt. Lord Derby, who followed, with characteristic; boldness harped upon the theme, " Are the two Lords accused to have an opportunity offered to them for making a public defence 1" By all means. They are most fully entitled to a patient and careful hearieg, and, if they can • succeed in setting aside the evidence of the witnesses against them, to a full and decisive acquittal. For their own sakes, if they hold themselves free from blame, they will urge forward such a measure, and they w ill without doubt meet with every facility for carrying their pur pose into effect. The conclusion of the discussion was simply puerile. The decorations and honours which have been bestowed upon the Earls of Lucau and Car digan have, we are told, been riven to them, not for their success—not for their qualifications as Generals— COURSE OF EXC tm5ten1am............-11 18 .A.NGE.--- THIS DAY.

Advices from Havannah state that General Concha was to leave the island for Spain, where he will receive the title of Count of Havannah. His successor is said t• be General Zabala. From the New York commercial advices we learn that the latest European accounts were con sidered unsatisfactory, and had caused a decline in the prices of all the speculative securities. THE BANK OF FRANCE. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of France took place on Thursday the 31st ult., when the report of the proceedings of the establishment for 1355 was laid before them. The report begins by explaining the difficulties which the Bank had to con tend with during the last year, and particularly in the. last six months of it. The expenses of the war in the. East, and the coincidence of an insufficient harvest, had necessarily led to large exports of bullion. It was no cessary to procure earn from abroad at a very high price, and furnish gold for the pay of the army. The Bank had co-operated in these payments, by which a very sensible reduction in its metallic reserve took place, u hide at the same time the facilities granted by the Bank to meet the increasing demand of commerce and manufactures contributed to the same result. In order to contend against this accumulation of un toward circumstances, the Bank had recourse to two kinds of measures. It procured, at considerable ex• pense ' from differe n t coun t r i es o f E urope, from two to three hundred millions of the precious metals, and pat in practice some restrictions which it bad on previous occasions adopted with success. These restrictions did not prevent the Bank from extendir e os to discounts m ore than ever, and it const an tly furnished the Treasury with all the cash it asked for. The report then goes on with a recapitulation of the different operations of the prin cipal establishment and of the branch banks. It states that during the last three years the mass of operations had acquired unusual development. In 1853 the total amount of its transactions was 3,964,000,0001. ; in 1854, 3,188,000,000 f. ; and in 1855, 4,863,100,0001., this last being an increase over the previous year of nearly a nelliard. The discounts of commercial bills, which constitutes the principal operation of the Bank and the branch establishments, amounted in 1854 to 2,944,000,000 f., and in 1855 to 8,762,000 f., being an increase in favour of the latter of 818,000,0001. These operations were most extensive in the last six months of 1855. In July they reached the sum of 383,000,000 f., and in the four following months they varied from 341,000,000 f. to 354,000,001 f. ; and in De ember, to 513,000,000 f. The restrictive measures alluded to in the commence ment of the report began in October. The rate of die count was raised from 4 per cent. to 5 per cent., and afterwards to 6 per cent., and the date of bills admis sible was reduced from 90 to 75 days. The advances on railway and other securities were also temporarily restricted, but, as the time approached for the last loan, those advances were considerably increased, and the Bank afforded every facility in order to assist those per sons who wished to subecribefor it. After the close of the subscriptions these advances amounted to 185,000,000 f.; but as this sum was too large to remain permanent, the Bank succeeded, by degrees, in reducing it ; and, between the Ist August and the 31st January, the amount was brought down from 185,001,000 f. to 93,000,0001. With regard to the transactions of the Bank with the Treasury, the report states that on the let July last the Treasury repaid to the bank a third instalment of 5,000, 000 fr. sothat its debt of 76,000,000 fr. is now reduced to 60,000,000 fr. Since that period Use Bank advanced to the State 40,000,000 fr. for three months on the Transfer of Treasury bonds, and that operation has been renewed twice. On the 29th March, 1855, the metallic reserve of the Bank and the branch establishments amounted to 451,000,000 fr. • on the 11th July following it was 310,000,000 fr., and the bills in cir culation was 670,000,000 fr. It was at that period that the Bank began to get gold and silver from abroad, and at the end of the year those arrivals had reached the sum of 260,000,000 fr., the expenses attendant on which were as much as 3,920,0001 r. At the end of January the import of bullion amounted to 298,000,000 fr.

The general move mentathneoentnhtei amounting of the Bank in 1854 amounted to 2 5,090,0110,000 fr.; in 1855 to 30,359,000,000 fr. ; being an increase in 1855 o f 5,269,000,000 fr. The amount of bills drawn by the central bank on the branch establishments and vice versa was, in 1854, 313,000,000 fr., and in 1855, 376,000,000 fr., being an increase in the latter year of 63,000,000 fr. The payments of the commercial bills discounted by the Bank have been throughout the year effected with great punctuality, although the sums were at times very great. On the 31st Oct. the Bank had to receive in Parts a sum of 65,417,0001 r. divided iat) 54,602 bills ; and in the branch banks the debtors hare been equally exact. During 1855 the Bank did not meet with any loss from bankruptcy, but, on the con trary, recovered the sum of 342,000 fr, from former failures. With regard to branch banks, theyare going on every year increasing in number and impartance,at sinc k e the the junction of the departmental banks to thel; establish ments the united operations of the branch merits have constantly exceeded those of. operations establishment.

LATER FROM THE BRAZILS. but for p .rsonal bravery in the face of the enemy, Were these noble lords private dragoons, and had they been rewarded with a shilling a day of extra pay, this would be well enough, but from Generals other and very dif furent qualities are required than more personal courage. Even so, without meaning to cast the sLadow of an im putation upon the gallantry of the Earl of Lucan, we know not that in the Crimea his heroism was put to the test. Wlisn the charge of the heavy brigade took place at Balaklava, most rightly this General was not seen flourishing his sabre in the van of his division. As far as the Earl of Cardigan is concerned in the famous charge of the light brigade, every man there present did his duty ; nor, when the fatal order was once given, did Lord Cardigan do anything more than any private soldier who rode over that bloody field. It is sufficient honour that he was one of that band of heroes. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. By the arrival of the clipper Phantom, Captain Knight, we have received advices from Pernam buco to Jan. 9, being one fortnight later than brought by the last mail. _ _ The Royal Mail ship Avon, from Southampton on the Bth of December, arrived at Pernambuco on the Ist of January.

Thne are no persons so profoundly interested in the due prosecution of the inquiry to which the Crimean Report must give rise as the upholders of our present military system. If they make common cause with officers whose incapacity for military command has been proved they prejudge the case against themselves. Who can honestly assist hereafter in calling the nation to arms if our soldiers are always to be handed over to such incompetent guidance ! Our military chiefs and administrators have not only been in the wrong, but are resolved to persist in their error. Two officers high in command, between them, brought about the destruc tion of the English cavalry in the East. They are se lected as especial objects of their Sovereign's favour. Another.:-; Quartermaster-General of the British Army in the Crimea, brought that army to the ♦erge of de struction—he is appointed to the office of Quartermaster. General of the British Army. Sir John APNeill and Colonel Tulloch may be safely left to describe the qualifi cations and performances of the gallant officer who is to act as his assistant. What the military system of Eng land was before the Crimean campaign, such it will be again in six months' time ; nay, it is the same already. Years must elapse ere we can replace the legions of veteran soldiers who died ♦ictims of the "system"—and the " system" remains in full force ! Had such things oacurred under the rule of the First Napoleon, in place of selecting the incapable officers for rewards, decora tions, and promotion, he would have dismissed them from active employment altogether—they might have esteemed themselves fortunate if they escaped a yet faller measure of speedy justice at the hands of their indignant master.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at two o'clock. Among the peers present were Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Campbell, Lord Redesdale, Duke of Argyll, Earl of Derby, Earl Granville, Lord St. Leonards, Earl of Hardwick°, Lord Colchester, Lord Abinger, and Lord Brougham. On the motion of Lord LYNDHURST the House re• solved itself into a Committee of Privileges, on which the Lord CHANCELLOR left the Woolsack and took his seat on the Ministerial side of the House. Lord REDESDALE then presided. Lord LYNDHURST said his present course now was to prove the unconstitutional stretch of the prero gative in granting life peerages. He proposed that the records relating to this question should be translated and printed and circulated among their lordships. Lord CAMPBELL said he was anxious Lord Wens leydale should be heard by counsel, but as that motion could not then be made, he should make it after five o'clock when the house had resumed its ordinary sittings. Lord ST. LEONAItDS did not object to the motion. It should be considered who should appear to resist this attempt. It was the duty of the Crown to watch the claims of persons claiming to sit iu that house ; but in Ohl case the Crown was in favour of the noble lord taking his seat, and therefore could not be said to be an impartial advocate. It would be as well to consider for whom counsel should be heard. Upon the motion of Lord LYNDHURST, the Keeper of the Records at the Tower was called to the bar of the House, and produced the patent of the Earl of Hunting don, which he read, granted in the reign of Richard 11., and the words used in the patent were, " sua vita duranti." The witness proceeded to read the various patents and documents, vben The LORD CHANCELLOR reminded the house that the usual practice of the'house' in 'Committee of Privileges was for the documents to be handed in and thereby save the time of their lordships. He reminded their lordships that it was necessary they should pro ceed with rapidity in the cas., because it was the in tention of Lord Wensleydale, as soon as he was re covered from an attack of the gout, to present himself at their lordships' house with her Majesty's writ and claim to take his seat. L 3rd CAMPI3ELL said if that was the intention of Lord Wensleydale, he should move that he''be not permitted to take his seat until the Committee of Privileges should have made their report on the validity of the patent. Ito believed the Lord Chancellor was the - 'only person who considered the writ could be of any avail without a valid patent. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it mattered not whether the patent was a valid one or not. Lord Wens leydale, he considered, was bound to obey her Majesty's writ of summons, Lord BROUGHAM said that it was the intention of Lord Wensleydale to come to town as soon as possible and take his seat. To use his own words, "as soon as the law and the gout will allow me." (Laughter.) Lord ST. LEONARDS said he felt certain that if Lord Wensleydale came' with a proper patent, entailing the title on his heirs male, he would be readily and gladly received ; but if he persisted in taking his seat otherwise, the opinion of their lordships' house must be taken on the question. Earl GItES7 suggested that the noble lord (Lynd hurst) should have the assistance of a noble lord, to pre pare the precedents he relied on, and print them for the consideration of their lordships, and subscribe a formal resolution to the house thereon. Lord BROUG.FIA.M concurred in the suggestion of the noble earl, and said ho thought it not desirable then to enter into a discussion of whether Lord Wensleydale should or should not be permitted, on the Queen's writ, to take his seat. After some further discussion, it was arranged that the documents should be put in, and afterwards trans lated, printed, and circulated amongst their lordships for their consideration. The documents wore accordingly handed in. Mr. Hardy, in answerto questions from Lord Broug ham, said ho had not had an opportunity of making searches fur other life patents tha❑ those now produced. He only had an intimation at 10 o'clock last night that those documents would be required. All the patents re corded in the Tower were printed in an appendix which their lordships then had. It would take him till Mon day to search for life patents granted since Edward the 4th. The Earl of DERBY said it would expedite the in quiry if the Lord Chancollor would move for the pro duction of the precedents he relied on to enable noble lords to examine them. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had nothing to move for. He relied on the precedents in the printed book, which was already accessible to their lordships, aad with the contents of which noble lords appeared to be conversant. A further discussion enst;-d, when Lord LYND HURST said he hardly knew how their lordships could proceed further that day, and was of opinion it was de sirable the committee should adjourn till Monday. Lord CAMPBELL said he should move that Lord Wensleydale be hoard, either by himself or by his counsel. The LORD ORA.NCELLOR said that he had re• ceived a communication from Lord Wensleydale, wherein he stated that he had received no intimation from her Majesty that the subject had been referred to a committee, and that, therefore, he should decline to acknowledge the anthority of the committee. Earl GREY complained that nothing definite had been brought before the notice of the committee, and called upon the noble lord to put before them a resolu tion of a formal character. lie urged them not to pro ceed is the manner they had begun, which was likely to bring ridicule on their lordships' house. Earl DERBY said the question before the committee was the validity of a patent that had been granted to a Commoner. The house now sat in a judicia inquiry to ascertain the nature of life peerages that lad been granted. lie admitted that the Crown had a right to grant the dignity of a life title, but he did not recognise the right of such persons to sit and vote in their lord ships' house, and it was to ascertain that fact that the committee was called on to investigate the precedents alluded to. The Earl of ABERDEEN said a select committee should have been appointed in the first instance to in vestigate the question. It was ultimately arranged that Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, and Lard S. Leonardo should form a select committee to examine, consider, and report on the question to the Committee of Privileges, and the com mittee adjourned to Monday next at 2 o'clock. The house then resumed. Lord CAMPBELL moved that Baron Parke bo heard hi mse lf or by counsel on Monday next. • The Earl of DERBY called the attentien.of their lordships to the fact that L )rd \Vensleydale's natne bad been placed on the roll of their lordships' house. He would not then enter into a discussion on it, but merely to ascertain the fact, as his claim to sit in that house was in abeyance. The Lord CHANCELLOR, objected to the terms of Lord Campbell's motion, which mentioned the name of Baron Parke and not that of Lord Wensleydale, and in consequence Lord CAMPBELL withdrew his motion, and asked for leave to renew it on Thursday next. Ultimately the noble lord consented that Lord Wensleydale should be named in his motion. The motion was then put and carried. The house adjourned at ten minutes to 4 o'clock. Their. lordships re assembled at five o'clock. The Earl of ELLENB >ROUGH gave notice that on Thursday next he should present a petition f rom th e seamen of various ports, complaining that they were compelled to go to sea in unseaworthy ships. lie should likewise ask on that day whether the:Govern. merit intended to bring in any measure with respect to the subject. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he would answer tho noble lord's cruestiou now. Her Majesty's rttrb tb. 14 .b.ll Db. 9 t,b. I 6 ;ton. rohn Rev. lker, htor oke, , A. , of mp- ,per at's. QV, 12, r of
