But 1 eyelid We, I find in the Monitcur of yes terday a special announcement by the French Govern ment that an invitation has been made to Prussia to to attend the conferences ; that Prussia has accepted it, and that she has nominated the Baron Manteuffel and the Prussian Minister now at Paris, M. Hatzftldt, her plenipotentiaries. How is it that the French people are to be informed by their Government, notwithstand ing this preliminary resolution of the conference; as to what takes place, and that the Parliament of England is the-only place where no information is to be obtained, and that the noble lord on an occasion of such grave in terest avoids his responsibility, by resorting to a plea which upon mature reflection he must, I am sure, feel is one he ought never to have advanced ? I am at a loss to under stand what can be the reason that induced the noble lord to refuse the information, which I hope on further consideration be will feel it is not only in his power but his duty to impart to us. (Hear.) I should be sorry to suppose that the noble lord finds in the cir cumstauces that Prussia is now participating in the con ferences any cause for regret. (Hear.) I should be loth to believe that--for two reasons—first, if he should feel cause for regret in that circumstance, it would seem that the councils of this country iu the conferences are not so influential as every member of this house must wish them to be ; but if it be a subject of regret to the noble lord that. Prussia has been admitted to it, I should lament it still more, because I myself cannot but feel that the circumstance is not one for regret, but upon which we may fairly congratulate the country and the world. I look upon the accession of Prussia am en event auspicious of the satisfactory settlement of the questions that the 'conferences at Paris are deliberating upen—(cheers)—as an event auspicious of peace— (cheers) —and one upon which the country ought to be congratulated, because, whatever the wild opinions sometimes expressed--expressed often without thought, and sometimes without temper—l cannot but feel that the settlement of the question at issue is more likely to ho satisfactory and permanent if, as is now contemplated, all the great powers of Europe take part in and sanction it—than if one great power, so peculiarly situated as Prussia, should remain aloof and isolated. Independent of the general principle, that no settlement at Paris is likely to be permanent if one of the great powers of Europe is not a participator, there are peculiar reasons why the sanction of Prussia should be given to that set tlement which I (in common, I am sure, with every hon. member who hears me) hope is impending. The pre sence of Prussia at the conference is the only means, as it appears to me, by which the opinions and senti ments of Germany can be represented and expressed upon this memorable occasion, (Cheers.) It is very true there is another German power which has, from the first, par ticipated in the conferences-- a power of which I desire to speak with all due respect ; but I remember well the raying of a great state-man--one whose opinion upon the subject . I may quote with great propriety, for they are not likely to be prejudiced upon such a point—l re fer to M. Metternich, the Austrian Minister. Prince Metternich said that Austria was the true typo of an empire, and that therefore all her interests must be im perial. (Hear.) Austria has many kingdoms and many races dependent upon her, and demanding her solicitude, but Plume is homogeneous—she is German—one might, indeed, almost say that Prussia is Germany. (Cheers.) Therefore, and for that reason alone, irrespective et other considerations, I consider that we, wh are all deeply interested in the welfare of Europe, must be de sirous that that power should take part in the confer ences, and feel that an e authoritative announcement of such a circumstance would be matter of congratulation to the country. (Hear.) But if it be necessary for Euro pean interests that Prussia should be present at these o.e ferencee, and if, on general grounds, it be adverse to those interests that a great state should remain isolated on this occasion, and if it be, for the sake of representing German opinions and sentiments, important that Prussia should be present at the contereuceS, it is equally desir able for English interests. Whatever we may have heard ofthe past conduct of Prussia, which allow me to remind the house has never been the subject of debate or discus sion in the British House of Commons, it will be well to remember that if there be such a thing as a natural ally we may fairly describe Prussia as the natural ally of England. (Hear.) From the period when he first en tcr,d into the highest class of sovereignties, with one hrief exception, and then she was acting under compulsion, she has been our ally, and from historical associations— geographical situation—her produce—the race of her inhabitalts—and I might almost say of her religion also Prussia is a power which I am sure will always be regarded with sympathy by the people of England, and ever with profound interest by Engli.h statesmen. (Cheers.) I know that some persons are apt to believe Vat because it was sail to have been proposed by Russia that Prussia should be admitted to the conferences in the first iastauce, that was a sufficient reason why the great powers should have refused to admit her. (Hear, irons Mr. Layard.) Not withstanding the assenting cheer from an hon. gentleman who has given much attention to fo reign affairs, I believe that nothing can be inore errone ous or fallacious than that opinik n. I know of nothing snore likely to make Prussia our adversary hereafter than that the settlement which I hope is now about to take place at Paris should be of a partial and not of a universal character. It id of the greatest importance that Russia should not be enabled to fail back upon the authority (3* a great Power like Prussia, as not connected with the Rettleinont. As a mere question of diplomacy, nothing could be me re useful to Russia than that Prussia should demand to take part in the conferences, for if she succeeded she would have paid a compliment to Russia, and if she was excluded, she would have term:sired her with ground hereafter for questioning a settlement of a question affecting the interests of all Europ e from w hi c h one of the great Powers of Europe had been excluded. I cannot believe that a British Minister will object to the admission of Prussia, and I have no doubt the noble lord has by this time decided upon a conviction of what is the real interest of Europe and of this country. I cannot be lieve that on such an occasion the passions or private feel ings of a Cabinet or of any individual Minister will influence the course of pribl e events. Passion has already worked injury to this country, and I hope we have outlived the time when such conduct will be repeated. (Hear.) It is for this reason that I should, instead of viewing the acces sion of Prussia to the Conferences as adverse. to the in terests of Europe or of England, regard it as beneficial to the object for which we are all of us anxious. I have taken this opportunity of recurring to the subject in con sequence of the unsatisfactory reply the house received from the noble lord last night. I believe that what I yesterday intimated had occurred is iu every sense cor rect, and it would, I am persuaded, afford the utmost satisfaction that we should have it authoritatevely an nounced by the Minister. I trust, therefore, that the noble lord will, upon reflection, feel that the Parliament of England should not be less informed by her Majesty's Ministers of what is going on in reference to these con ferences than the popelation of Paris is by the French Government in the Moniteur. (Hear, hear.) Viscount PALMERSTON--I can assure the hon. gentleman that I in no degree complain, or have any right to complain, of any want of courtesy on his part, in not giving previous notice of the question he put to me yesterday, for it was undoubtedly a question which, if fit to be put at all, required no notice. On the ether hand,. however, I hope he will acquit me of any intentional want of courtesy as to the answer I gave. (Hear.) It was perfectly true that when the Conference first met, the first resolution they came to was that their proceedings should be kept secret; and that they en tered into an engagement for themselves and for their. respective Governments that secrecy should be kept. (Hear.) Not that there were any mysterious proceed ings that were to be in any way at variance with the in terests the plonipotentaries represented, or with the honourable discharge of their duties, but if it were only in reference to this House of Parliament that decision was a wise one in regard to the furtherance of the ob jects for which they were accredited. For if it were to have been preper that every day . of the week hon. gentle. men were to get up and found questions upon telegraphic messages and articles in foreign newspapers, calling upon the Government to explain what had- passed in the Conference on the day before in respect to questions unsettled and discussions still continuing, I appeal to the go id sense and judgment of the house, when I ray that under such circu ms t ances , a successful issue of the negotiation would have been difficult, if not improbable. (Cheers.) Therefore, I think, the decision was a wise one, befitting the charaotea of those who made it, and one that was calculated to promote the object for which the Csaference hal assembled. Acting upon this view, I gave the answer I did to the right hon. gentlemen's queinien yesterday. The right hon. gentlemen, herr ever, to-day puts his question in a way that makes it necessary for me to give some explanatioe. (ilean) It is undoubtedly true, as he says, that Prussia is one of those powers of Europe which have hitherto been considered as what are technically called the five great powers, and which have been accustomed of lite years to enter into arrangements and treaties together on matters connected with Europe en ',interests. In the year 1841, when the treaties wire male in reference to the affairs of the East, those treaties were concleded by Austria, Franco, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, in concert with the Porte, and if on a recent occasion no thing had been required except a simple conference of the great powers of Europe to settle general questions affecting European interests, no doubt Prussia would would have been invited like the other powers to be come a party to such proceedings. (leer.) But the conference was appointed for the purpose of negotiating and concluding peace between powers that were at war, and the nature! parties to suoh a conference were England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia on the one side, and Russia on the other. Austria, though not one of the belligerents, had nevertheless en t ere d i n t o engage ments with Turkey to maintain her Principalities, and had likewise acted the part of mediator between the belligerents on the occasion which had directly led to these negotiations. Austria, therefore, could not be excluded from being a member of the eonf ranee—but Prussia stood in no character that made her in any way whatever a party to these negotiation's. (Hear, hear.) I will not follow the right hon. gentleman into the dis cussion of the question which of the German powers is the most homogeneoue, or which of them most accurately and fully represents the public opinion of the German States. Prussia is a great power undoubtedly; she is a power with whom it is always our interest to maintain the most intimate relations of friendship, and I trust those relations will always be maintained. and became S UPPLY. The house then resolved itself into a committee of supply. A vote of 238,404/. for the purpose of defraying the expenses connected with scientific education in the army having been p ro p ose d, Lord PALMERSTON took occasion to state, in reply to Mr. Walpole, that unless some latitude were allowed, whereby the surplus of the vote under one head might be applied to the deficiency which existed under another, great inconvenience would result to the public service. Now, the Appropriation Act, although it sanctioned the application of the surplus of one of the votes of the army to the deficiency of another, yet it did not authorise the application of a surplus of a vote for the army to supply the deficiencies of the votes for the ordnance and com missariat, and vice verses. How far that ought to be done was no doubt a subject worthy of consideration, but he should remind the right hon. gentleman that the Govern ment were at present only taking a vote upon account; that that vote must again come under consideration of the house, even before the introduction of the Appro priation Bill, and that they could then discuss the mat ter if they thought' fit. Mr. S. HERBERT observed that the vote which was then undcr the consideration of the committee was not one upon account, and that he thought it would be ex tremely convenient if it were taken upon account only. Upon the circumstances of' peace or war must, in a great measure depend the nature of the system for the educa tion and organisation of our troops ; and it was, there fore, desirable that the house should have an opportu nity of discussing the matter when the conferences came to a close, and when th e y s h ou ld k now whether they were called upon to provide fur the requirements of a peace or a war establishment. Col. NORTH wished to call the attention of the Go verument to a question connected with the Royal Mili tary College at ahandhurst. A select committee had seine time ago been appointed by that house to take into con sideration the propriety of making provision for the edu cation of a limited number of the orphans of officers of the army and navy in that establishment, and that committee had recommended that ten such orphans should be admitted last year, and that number should as early 33 the present time be increased to 20. Now, not withstanding the recommendation of the committee, not a single orphan had as yet been admitted to the institu tion, although it appeared that 25 cadets who paid at the rate of 251. a year each, an:l two sons of field officers who Reid at the rate of from 601. to 801. per ennuis], had since obtained admission. He might add that the most anxious desire of the committee was that the orphans of those gallant officers who had fallen in defence of their country should be enabled to enjoy the advantages which the institution afforded. (Hear.) While speaking upon that subject he might be allowed to advert to the fact, that the governor of Sandhurst College—a most distin guished Peninsular officer, who had served his country well for a period of near 60 or 70 years—had been •dis charged from his office as one might discharge a drunken groom—(hear, hear)—after having received a six weeks' notice. Having said thus much with reference to the institution at Sandhurst, he sheuld beg next to call the attention of the Government to some circumstances con nected with the Military Asylum for the sons of the non commissioned officers of our army. The subject was ono which had been brought under the consideration of te house in the year 1854, and a decided wish had upon that occasion been expressed to the effect that the num ber of orphan sons of our non-commissioned officers in the asylum should be increased by 120. Some months after that decision had been arrived at, he (Colonel North), being anxious to ascertain whether the wish of the horse ha .l been carried into effect, had addressed a letter to .his right honourable friend (Mr. Sidney lirrhert) who at the time held the office of Secretary at War, expressing a desire to obtain some informa tion upon the subject. His right hon. friend, with his usual courtesy, had stated, i'i reply to that letter, that a building for the reception of 120 boys would be in readiness in the spring of 1855 ; but be (0 ,l. North) on visiting the site of the building in the month of June or July of the sameeyear, had found that very little harl been done towards its erection. He hal again paid the place a visit about a fortnight ago, and had found that the building had been placed in a position to admit 50 boys towards the end of last year, and that, consequence of a notice which had been given by the hon. member for Poritefraet, to the effect that lie would bring the matter under the consideration of the house, an order had been received upon the very morning of his (Colonel North's) visit to admit 73 more boys, making a total of 120. Now hs hoped some satisfactory reason would be given by the Government why those 120 orphans, the sons of our brave soldiers who had perished in the Crimea, had been thus deprived of the advantages of education for a period of 18 months. (Hear.) Mr. PEEL said be must admit that the report of the committee te which the hon. and gallant member had referred at the commencement of his observations had as yet produCed no visible results ; but he could assure the gallant officer that the recommendatiOn of that committee was one which the Government were by no means disposed to disregard. It was, however, clear that it was idle to provide for the education of the orphans of our officers at Sandhurst, unless the Government were in a position to give them commissions when their education was completed. Now, at the present moment the list of commi-sip ns without purChase was filled up, a circum stance which was in a great measure owing to the fact that those commissions were to a great extent conferred upon volunteers from the militia into the line. It was, therefore, quite cheer that the Government were not as yet in a position to carry into effect the recommenda tions of the committee, but they only awaited a fitting opportunity to adopt that course. With respect to the Military Asylum at Chelsea, he had only to observe that 10,0001. had been appropriated for the purpose of pro viding accommodation for the 120 boys to whom the hon. and gallant member had referred, and he under stood that the building devoted to that object was now completed ; and he might state, in reply to the suggestion of his right hon. friend (Mr. S. Herbert), that the Government were prepared to take a vote for 200,0001. at present, upon account, leaving the remaining portion of the vote for scientific education for another time. Col. NORTH said ho saw no reason why the orphan sons of officers should not have the same chance of get ting commissions without purchase as other persons. Mr. EWART thought great educational reform was required in the army ; and said he should like to know what alterations had been made in the examination papers, whether the examinations related not only to the appointments, but to the promotions in the army ; and also wished a return to be made of the number of schools and libraries in the army. Capt. L. VERNON said he was attached to the Quartermaster-General's department in Ireland during 7 years of great trouble in that country, and knew some thing cf the education of the officers then employed in the service, and on looking over the plans which were sent in at various times, he was perfectly astonished and amazed at the amount of education which existed amongst the officers of the line. The hon. and gallant member then went into a minute examination of the vote, object ing to several of the items of which it was composed. Mr. MONSELL defended the vote, and explained the items which had been objected to. Sir F. T. BARING, as chairman of the committee on the. Sandhurst College, expressed his disappointment - at the explanation which had been given relative to that institution. The committee had recommended the ap pointment of a number of orphans (sons of officers who had lost their lives in the service of their country, and whose families were in distress, and if there was no pos sibility of providing for these orphans, why had the Go vernment appointed the committee at all ? He hoped the subject would be reconsidered, and that the Minis ters of thee Crown would take some measures for provid ing the means necessary for carrying out the recommene dations of the committee. (Hear.) Mr. PEEL said some of the recommendations con tained in the report of the committee were more properly matters for the consideration of the commissioners of the college than the Government. In proper time the recom mendations of the country would receive due attention. Col, LINDSAY believed that the report of the com mittee had not received that attention which it deserved, and called the attention of the Government to the state •of the United Service Institution, remarking that the taxation and rent obtained by the Government from that institution was equal to the subscriptions of 860 of its members—their subscriptions being 108. annually. Col. BUCK had been much associated with officers of engineers. Three of them had recommendations from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which enabled them to obtain much information in travelling through Europe by the aid of the sum granted by the Government. Ho wished, therefore, to know what number of officers had availed themselves of this fund. He much objected to Chatham being selected as a place of study for young engineer offi cers. Did any examination take place on leaving Chat ham. He had heard that no such examination town place. He had heard young officers complain of the wine they were compelled to take, and of the mess expenses at Chatham ; that state of things ought to be altered. Mr. EWART had merely inquired the number of offi cers who travelled, without reference to the amount or Lord MONT E AG L E of B RANDON moved for a return of the number of joint-stock coinpantes completely reeiv tered, and also of those only provisionaly registered, under the new act of .3855. Fie referred to the regis trar's returns showing a number of companies, such as a patent Telescopic Fire Eseepe Company, a General Newspaper Leauue Comeany, a Dutch Laundry Com pany, whose of jests were at all events doubtful, and contended that the legal privilege of limited liability should not be extended to any but genuine eammersiat undertakings. lie thought the companies he had men tioned did not come within that category. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY did not see why they should not. Lord MON r EAGLE said that if these matters were not looked to we should soon hare another commercial panic worse than the last. There was a bill upon the subject in the other house, and he should move that a committee of their lordships be appointed to consider its objects. He trusted. that the bill would be intro duced in time for proper discussion. • Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said there could be no objection to the returns ; but to ask in one house for a committee upon a bill then before the other house, was one of the most extraordinary suggestions he had ever heard made fo their lordships. Lord OVERSTONE said the Government had done a far more extraordinary act than that, and he much regretted the levity with which the noble lord seemed to treat this question. A hilt lied been brought forward by the noble lord (Lord Stanley of Alderley) himself, directly in the teeth of the evidence before the commit tee' and of their report, and yet it was d e cl a r e d th a t th e bill was brought in in consequence of that report. Was that a customary or rational course ! The bill had also been brought in only three days before the 'end of last session, with most improper haste, and the first act of the Government this.}-ear was to bring in a bill to re peal that of last year. He had lived through all the great commercial crisis of the last 30 years, and strongly protested against the course adopted as dangerous in the extreme. Those artificial and ludicrously named com panies which had been referred to were sown in times of dearness and scarcity of money, when they would not fructify for the present ; but still the poisonous seed was in the ground, and by and by, when the precious metals beean to return, it would spring up, and produce its bitter fruits in most destructive pro fusion. When he saw the manner in which Go vernment bad treated the matter, he confessed ho bad very serious apprehensions for the fate of our commercial institutions. Nor could it be said triey were without experience —the panics of 1825 and 1345 should have taught a lesson that would not easily be for gotten. It was because we had been constantly and wisely mending our Legislature that we had made our commercial system so perfect. We had been enabled 'during the last six months to go through a drain of the precious metals, which he was confident every well-in formed and experienced person would agree with him in saying was the most severe this country had ever wit nessed within thp memory of living man. Moreover, we bad gone through that period with all our commercial and trading operations stable, sound, and firm. Of this we bad a just right to be proud, but it was at the same timea phenomenon which her Majesty's Government and those who were charged with this particular department were bound to study and thoroughly to understand. All our legislation upon this subject up to the present time had been based upon sound principles, upon thatprinciple which Mr. Huskisson affirmed when hesaid that thegreat danger of this country, the magnitude of its groat crises, arose from an undue extension of credit, which had led to an inors:inate love of speculation. Now it was proposed that that system, from which w e h a d rea p e d suc h valu able fruits, should be reversed by this law of limited lia bility, the unquestionable and inevitable principle of which would be to extend and intensify the system of credit, and to stir up that demon of speculation which had for the present been successfully allayed. The prin ciple of the bill was utterly untenable, for it affirmed that a man might borrow without being obliged to re pay—that one man might take another man's goods to carry out his own purposes, without being compelled tinder all circumstances to pay back what he had bor rowed. This was no new way of stating the case, for if their lordships looked into ancient books and into Saxon acts• they would find that credit was called borrowing another man's goods. Their lordships might depend upon it that if they filled the commercial world with such speculations they would poison the whole tone of com mercial morality, disturb the legitimate state of prises, and draw the whsle system into a whirlpool from which it could not escape. It was on behalf of the cornmer coil world that he protested against a measure which was false in principle as regards policy, and false in principle as regard:Euler:silty. He trusted her Majesty's Government would not refuse a committee to inquire into the subject. ( Hear, hear. Earl GRANVILLE said it was not his intention to follow the • noble lord who bad just sat down through the various points ofahis speech. He quite admitted that it was at a verylate period of last session that the bill alluded to was introduced, and he admitted, fur ther, that it was inconvenient that their lordships should be called upon to affirm measures of so much importance at so bite a period. The House of Commons had at that time sanctioned the prin ciple of the bill, and Mr. Caldwell, who had been at the Board of Trade, had promised charters to • several companies, so thet it was necessary to pass the bill in order to satisfy those companies that were Making application. The noble lord had stated that the Government had carried the bill by their own votes, when no peers were on the opposition benches. That was a circumstance which the Govern ment could not help. Due notice was given of the bill being brought before their lordships, and noble lords op posite, rather than oppose a measure of which they ap proved, absented themselves. Due notice had also been given of the motion which the noble lord (Nlonteagle) had made that night, and what was the state of the Opposition benches— why, there was only one vob'e lord (Dungannon) sitting there, and he had taken his seat since the last debate upon the question. ("Il ea; hear," and laughter.) The whole question seemed to be whether the Government were to pledge them selves to a committee, or to fix a time when the abled to afford the required information. But when ques tions of high state policy—questions of peace or war—ques tions regarding the progress of negotiations—whether cer tain impor•ant circumstances have or have not occurred in foreign courts in which we are directly interested— when such questions are addressed to the First Minister of the Crown, it bas never, that I am aware of, been con sidered necessary to give previous intimation of the in tention to ask them— (hear)—and in the present state of affairs, when the communication between one country and another is so rapid, it is impossible to give such pre vious intimation, because the information upon which the question is founded arrives often even while we are Mr. STAFFORD asked the Chancellor of the Ei-che: quer when the Treasury would approve or reject the warrant in reference to our Army Medical Department, which had been sent from the War-office with the recom mendation of the Secretary of State for the War De partment ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the warrant had been communicated to the Treasury, and was one of considerable magnitude and importance, in volving not only the question of increaie of pay to the medical department of the army, but st'wo that of the me dical department of other branches of her Majesty's ser vice. The Treasury thought it inconsistent to accede to the proposition, and he was unable to say when there was any prospect of its being carried out. Mr. FENWICK thought some arrangement might be made for the final settlement of the question ef pas sing tolls. Lord PALMERSTON said the committee would re port on the whole subject. Mr. GIBSON contended that the house bad not yet pronounced any opinion upon the matter. He did not think the right hon. gentleman the member for Wells (Mr. Hayter) and the noble lord the member for Scar borourh (Lord Mulgrave) had shown sufficient confi dence ix the strew 4th off' their party in advising the with drawal of the measure, for he be:ieved that if the Vice- President of the Board of Trade had persisted in his mo tion, ho would have succeeded in carrying it. After a short discussion, the motion f or t h e appoint ment of a committee was :hen agreed to. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

(Rear.) But what way the answer I received from the noble lord ? If it were not fresh in the recollection of all who heard me, and fresh in my own memory, I should almost think I was labouring under some strange hallu cination when I recall to the notice of the house that the noble lord declined to give any information as to the important subject of my inquiry. The noble lord said that the first rule laid down by the conference of Paris was that there should be complete secrecy with regard to all their proceedings, and that therefore it was not in DREADFUL DEATH. —Yesterday a most painful aellg&- tinn was created at the Shoreditch station of the Eastern Countie.

Lord PALMERSTON said that upon receiving the first account of the repulse of the Redan, his noble friend (Lord Panmare) wrote fur further details, which when received were considered satisfactory. He was far from looking at that attack as a failure, or as casting any slur on the English army—(hear)—but rather as au honour able day, and of glory to the British soldier, proviug the bravery and valour of both the officers and men in under tuking that desperate service. (Cheers.) He reminded the gallant colonel that the assault in question was the result of a joint arrangement with our allies, and that if the English did not succeed, the French were also un successful three times on that day. (Hear, hear.) He considered that these attacks, unsuccessful as they had been, had tended to the success in the principal quarter -the Malakhoff ; and, far from the 18th June being a 'reproach to the British army, he thought it shed alli tional lustre on their arm. (Loufsl cheers.) The remaining orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at a quarter past one o'clock. Zr A DAUGITTEL On the 14th inst., Mrs. A. H.

It may be expedient—indeed, I think myself in the present case there can be no doubt of the expediency—it may be highly expedient and politic that the negotiations shoull be secret ; but there is a great difference be tween negotiations being kept secret, and the parties to the negotiations and the names of the negotiators remaining unknown. (Cheers.) The very fact that the negotiations aro secret is, I think, an additional reason why the negotiators should be known—for the first condition of confidence is, that we should be ac quainted with those who have the transaction of the affairs in which wo are interested, and the very resolution of the conference which the noble lord quoted as his rea -1 son for not answering my question appears to mo to be an argument—if argument were necessary on such a point— in favour of the utmost frankness as to the persons, and if passible the powers and instructions of the negotiators. It is not, however, requisite to argue on such questions, for the principle the noble lord lays down is absolutely impracticable. If it were true, as I stated to the hence, that not only had the invitation been made, but that Prussia had accepted it, and had even nominated her plenipotentiaries, if that wera true, as I believe it to be, and that the plenipotentiaries have arrived in Paris at this moment, as I am told, I say that tLese are incidents that cannotbe concealed even if it be desired. It the plenipotentiaries of Prussia are absolutely in Paris, no reserve on no part of the conference or the noble lord can keep the roatter secret. If Baron Mauteuffel end his col!eag,ne, M. llalzfeldt, are at Parts fn. the pur pose of attendiog the conferences, it is not to be supposed that they go to the hotel of the Foreign Minister in disguise, or present themse'ves at M.

Mr. MON iELL—The number of officers who travel led was not fi*ed. There was no intention on the part of Go. • - verntnent to place a civilian at the head of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwicti. Acan early period, pro bably at the beginning of next year, it was the intention of the Government to abolish the institnti•ma at Carshalton. He thought the gallant officer opposite (Col.

He believed they were under the strict control of superintendent director of the establishfnent, and they were obliged to take certificate.) before leaving Chatham to join their regiments. subject might be proceeded with. A bill upon the abject Wai brought into the House of Commons early in the session ; it had been read a second time, and many times since it had been on the paper ; indceJ no opportunity had been omitted for bringing it before the house. He (Lord Granville) knew this to be a fact, because he went to t% e gentle-nan who bad charge of the bill to ask him 'to ht tl';eir lordships have it as early as possible, He (the, noble lord) could not give notice for any particular day, because that might stimulate members of the lower house to interpose de- Jays, and to throw obstacles in the way of the passing of s!rongtr and bt ro n g r.
