The continued uncertainty as to the Lincoln meeting ' taking ploce and the paucity of members present combined, seemed to put a stop to speculation, and but few invest , ments were made, as the undermentioned quotations indicate. For the Derby, 4to 1 was offered against the favourite, and 50 to 1 each were the taken prices about Knight of the Thistle and The Drake. For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, there were only two animals named, Diophantus and Klarikoff, the former at 7to 1, and the latter at 9to 1 (both taken). There were offers.to take 100 to 9 against Chere Arnie for the Chester Cup, which met with no response ; and the Liverpool Steeplechase was also a blank o tt er. The prevalent opinion w ith respect to Lincoln was that the races would have to be postponed beyond the present week, in which case all bets will become void. Closing prices :—.

Mr. M. GIBSON moved—" That the Board of Trade do ',resent to this house reports upon the several private bills relating to harbours, docks, navigation, &c , of the present session ; that the Board of Trade do present to this house a report upon the railway and canal bills of this session, in compliance with the recommendation contained in the fifth report of the select committee on railway and canal bills of the session of 1853." These returns were ordered. CONSULAR SERVICE. Mr. D. SEYMOUR gave notice that on the motion for adjournment next Friday he would call attention to the subject of consular service, and ask if it was the intention of Government to act on the Tecommendation that had been made by the committee on this matter. SALY ON FISHERIES. In reply to Mr. GREGSON, Sir G. C. LEWIS .said that the report of the committee on this subject had been presented. THE OUTBREAK AT CHATHAM. In reply to Alderman SALOMONS, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that in January last an attempt was made by the convicts at Chatham to escape, and they wera transferred to the penitentiary of Milbank. There was also an outbreak at St. Mary's . Island, which required the intervention of the military for its suppression. Some of those engaged in the latterdisturblnce had been sentenced to 36 lashes which had been carried out. He could give no satisfactory explanation as to the,eause of these outbreaks. THE POPE AND THE ,ITALIAN QUESTION, &c. In answer to several questions, Lord J. RUSSELL explained with reference to the ques tion of Mr. Cochrane, that when Nice was ceded to the Emperor of the French, these towns ceased to be part of his territory, and they were purchased for 4,000,000 fr. He did not consider that any political importance attached to the event. With regard to the next question he could not give any specific answer. The idea of any interference on the part of Government in reference to the matter alluded to was unfounded, for they had determined to allow the Italians and his Holiness the Pope to settle the question at issue between themselves.. With respect to the Stade tolls, negotiations had been entered into, but owing to some ex ceptions taken by Hanover in the details relative to the redemption of the toll, the matter had not yet been settled. However, Hanover had shown herself disposed to an ami cable settlement of the question, and, therefore, such settle ment might be looked forward to. POOR LAW (IRELAND) BILL. _ _ In reply to. Mr. BLAKE, Mr. CARDWELL said that several Irish parishes were anxious for the appointment of the committee in question, and he only wished to make a motion on the subject until it had been brought before the house by some hon. mem ber. After the question of the hon. member he would feel justified in bringing the subject forward, and he would move for the appointment of the committee next week. THE MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES. Mr. BENTINCK asked when it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to lay on the table of the house the miscellaneous estimates ? He said that a reduction in these estimates might be fairly effected, and he deprecated the manner in which they were brought before the house. They were submitted to the consideration of hon. members at a period of the session when they were worn out with their labours, and the conse quence was they were hurried over, without being duly investigated and discussed. Lord PALMERSTON said that the estimates were in preparation, and would be laid befsre the house in a fort night. The delay in bringing forward these estimates was owing to circumstances that were unavoidable. They were impeded in their progress by the course which ion. members pursued. , THE. POST-OFFICE. In reply to Sir G. BOWYER, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the report of the'commissioners employed to make inquiries relative to the Post-office had not yet completed their re port, as the supplementary papers, were not complete. THE LAW COURTS. Sir J. SHELLEY asked what course it was intended by Governmeni to pursue with respect to the concentration of the law courts. Mr. LAING said that a bill was in preparation to enable the Government to purchase a site for the law courts and he hoped , to be able to introduce that bill shortly.

IMPE RIA L PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—(TIIIS EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. CHURCH RATES. Petitions against the abolition of Church-rates were pre rented by Lord Colville and Lord St. Leonard's. MONACO. In reply to Lord TRURO, Lord WODEHOUSE said it was quite true that the Emperor of the French had given £2G,000 to the Prince of Monaco for a part of his territory, but the noble lord was in error in speaking of annexation of Monaco. The villages of Mentor° and Roquebrune had been assigned to France in the manner described, this course being a matter of dis cussion for a great length of time. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that on Fri day, the Ist of March, he intended to call the attention of their lordships to the xorrespondence that had lately been laid before their lordships by command of her Majesty. THE NEW COURTS OF LAW. _ . Lord ST. LEONARDS rose to draw the attention of the house to the report of the commission of inquiry as to the expediency of building new law courts on the same spot,• and where the money is to come from, with a view of preserving the funds arising from the in vestment of moneys belonging to the suitors of the Court of Chancery for their benefit and better security, for which purpose the monies were laid out subject to certain charges, and for the reducing of fees payable to the court by such suitors, for which object the funds stand appropriated." The noble lord said in his opinion the Lord Chancellor, the Vice• Chancellor and the Master of the Rolls were simply provided with courts up to the pre sent time, and he was at a loss to know what advantage was to be obtained from the contemplated removal of the courts. The site proposed was now densely populated and if the in habitants were driven away to make room for the proposed new buildings, he was at a loss to know where to go to. The space occupied by the Chancery Courts was, compara tively speaking, thinly populated. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tuis EVENING) The SPEAKER took tho chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The standing orders were do3lared to have been com plied with in the case of a number of railway and other bills, and in the case of several others, that they had not been complied with. The following bills were read a second time :—Chard and Taunton Railway ; Cork and Macroom Direct Rail way ; Kilrush and Kilkee Railway and Poulnasherry Reclamation; Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway; North-Eastern and Nowcastle-upon-Tyne and Carlisle Railway Companies Amalgamation ; Shirley Railway ; Southampton and Nutley Railway; Wallasey Improve ment; Whitehaven, Cleator, and Egremont Railway; and Workington Tidal Basin and Railway. Several private bills were also read a first time. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented against the unconditional aboli tion of church-rates ; from the wine merchants of Notting ham against the present mode of assessing the wine duties ; six from Norwich praying that a new Reform Bill may be passel without delay ; for the new census being taken ac cording to counties, and not according to registration counties ; by Mr. Bright from the Town Council of Rock dale in favour of an amendment of the bankruptcy laws, &c. ROYAL MARINES. Sir F. SMITH moved an, address for return of all nomi nations to the Royal Marine Corps, or to Royal Marine Cadetships, for each year, from the year 1851 to the year 1860, inclusive ; showing the names and Christian names of the several individuals ; the date of each appoint ment, and the age of the person at the time of appointment; and specifying, as far as is known, who araozlgst the num- 7a 131 99 8 11 1 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YESTERDAY.) • THE TROOPS IN CHINA. (Continued fronz the Sun of last evening.) , Lord HERBERT said—There is another point on which I wish to make an observation. We recommenee 1 hostilities on the 18th of September. On that occasion Mr. Parkes, Mr. De Norman, Lieut. Anderson, Captain Bra bazon, Mr. Loch, and Mr. Bowlby were taken prisoners. There can be no doubt that these men were taken prisoner under a flag of true. There can be no doubt of the inhu manity with which they were treated. The fate of these officers and the sufferings they underwent made a profound impression on the people of this country. We could not but have lamented their fate if they had met with a soldier's death in the face of day. But they died in a fearful man ner. Their sufferings were ingeniously increased by the Chinese. Their hands were tied with cords in a barbarous manner, and the cords were wetted to increase their tension. They were taken to a distant place ; they were exposed to the alternate extremes of heat and cold of that temperature and their sufferings were heightened by every species of indignity. They were all men of distinction. Mr. Parkes was one of the most active and energetic men of the expedi tion. Without him the commissariat would have begin almost powerless. Mr. De Norman was a young man of great promise, and had shown talents of no common order. (Hear.) Captain Brabazon was an officer who, from his talents and skill in drawing, h a d o ft en , I believe, been selected for sketching the country. Lieut. Anderson was an officer universally lamented. I have seen a statement as to the way in which the news of his death had been received in India, where the head-quarters of his regiment are sta tioned. It was a touching account of the effect produced by the news both on officers and men. There was also agen tleman whom I have seen to - day (Mr. Loch) who fortu nately escaped. There was also Mr. Bowlby, one of those correspondents of the press who made himself perhaps most remarkable by the extraordinary vigour and vivacity of his reports from the seat of war. No doubt that was a foul act of treachery, and deserved to be marked by some great act of retribution. It was necessary that something should be done to mark our sense of indignation at this conduct on the part of the Chinese. Let me here advert to two or three peculiarities of this campaign which I think mark a great difference between this and former expedi tions. We had an excellent commissariat under Mr. Tur ner. 'We had an excellent medical staff ; and a first attempt was made to introduce a system of employing medical cffi cers for purely preventive sanitary purposes. lam told that the greatest success attended the operations of this board. I have heard remarks made as to the costs of these proceedings, but it is only because the measures were so successful that these complaints have been heard. But what expense can be too great within reasonable limits to furnish a force so efficient as this was, where the list of casualties, deaths, and wounds was actually at a lower rate than occurred in peace in hot climates. (Hear.) There was a time when hostile critics said—ln your foreign expedi tions you can always produce fine men, but you have no medical staff, and no commissariat to feed them. Gene ral Sir Hope Grant had given the lie to all these accusations. On the whole, it was a bloodless campaign, and no less so amongst the Chinese, notwithstanding the vast hordes which they brought into the field. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to express her admi ration of the conduct of her army. She has distributed pro motions and rewards amongst them ; but it remains for the country and for this house, as forming no inconsiderable part of this country, to express the gratitude we owe to them for their gallant conduct in the field, and for the solid peace they have acquired. I trust, therefore, without tres passing longer on your lordships' attention, I may antici pate a unanimous assent to the motion I have the honour to make. The noble lord concluded by moving— " That the thanks of this house be given to Lieutenant- General Sir Hope Grant, G.C.8., Vice-Admiral Sir Jas. Hope, K C. 8., Major-General Sir John Michell, K.C.B. Major-General Sir Robert Napier ' K.C.8., Rear-Admiral Lewis Tobias Jones, C. 8., for the distinguished skill, zeal. and intrepidity, with which they conducted the combined; operations in the north of China, which terminated in the capture of Pekin, whereby an honourable peace has been obtained on the terms proposed by her Majesty and her ally the Emperor of the French. " That the thanks of this house be given to the other officers of the navy, army, and the Royal Marines, includ ing her Majesty's Indian Forces, both European end native, for the energy and gallantry with which they executed the services they were called upoito perform. "That this house doth acknowledge and highly approve the gallantry, discipline, and uniform good conduct dis played by the petty officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the navy, army, Royal Marines, and her Majesty's Indian forces, European and native ; and the cordial good feeling which animated the united force. And that the s ame be communicated to the m by the commanders of the several ships and corps, who are respectively desired to thank them for their gallant and steadfast behaviour." The Earl of DERBY, on rising to second the vote of thanks, complimented the noble mover of the motion for the able and lucid address which he had made to their lord ships on the subject before the house, and expressed a hope that his noble friend would long live to adorn the house by his eloquence and ability. The task which his noble friend had undertaken to perform must have been most gratifying to him, as it was consistent with his feelings and with the position which he occupied in connexion with her Majesty's Government. He anticipated that the vote would receive the unanimous concurrence of their lordships, because what ever their feelings might be in reference to the origin of the war, they could not refrain from expressing their admira tion of those gallant services by which the reputation of the country had been so eminently sustained, and which in their results had had the effect of gaining for the country so much solid advantage. At the same time without wishing to de rogate in the slightest degree from the merits of those ss ho, under circumstances of the greatest danger, had been em• ployed in sustaining the honour of the country in China— he thought that great credit was due for the success of the operations to those departments of the public service which had been mainly instrumental in organising the expedition. The manner in which the expedition had been fitted out and despatched was most satisfactory, and showed the country we had derived the greatest advantage frem the bitter lesson which our past experience and past mishaps had taught us. (Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances, and not being connected with the Government, he had thought it the more incumbent upon him to express his sense of the admirable manner in which the departments I concerned had organised the expedition. In every respect it appeared to have been furnished with the greatest care and the greatest attention—the greatest care and atten tion bestowed, not only on the efficiency of the troops and the efficiency of the arms, but also on the health and com fort of all persons engaged. Indeed, the efforts which had been made reflected the greatest credit on all the depart ments concerned, and more especially upon those presided over by his noble friend (Lord Herbert), and the illustrious duke on the cross benches (the Duke of Cambridge). The campaign itself, whatever might be its ultimate results, could not pretend to have excited in this country the same amount of deep interest with which the late military ope rations in India were regarded. We watched with the greatest anxiety the fall of Delhi, the relief of Lucknow, successive marches and the stern endurance, which charac terised the acts of Generals Havelock, Outrun, Inglis, Sir Hope Grant, Sir Hugh Rose, and last, though not least, his noble and gallant friend, whom he was happy to see upon the cross benches (Lord Clyde). But although no' such deep interest had been excited by the present cam paign, yet, when we looked to what had been effected — when we saw the small extent of the force—not exceeding altogether 20,000 men—and knew that in the course of little more than two months they effected a landing, suc ceeded in penetrating to the heart of China, and dictating at the gates of Pekin their own terms of peace—when we compared these great results, with the apparent dispropor tion of the means, the whole transaction read really more like a fable and a romance than a passage in history. (Hear, hear.) It must not be forgotten that we had not met with a contemptible foe, but that the Tartar cavalry had shown a degree of courage and bravery which, but for the vast superiority of our arms and discipline, might not unsuccessfully have resisted our progress. (Hear, hear) He would add nothing to the accuracy of the description with which his noble friend had followed the course of events, from the first landing of the troops until the final reduction of Pekin, but with regard to the merits of individual offi cers be thought their lordships had been left somewhat in the dark, owing to the want of the official information which was usually supplied upon those occasions. He believed it was the practice, in giving notice of a vote of thanks to any portion of her Majesty's forces, to state the names of the officers whom it was intended to include in the vote. He regretted that that course had been departed from. He had read with great interest the detailed accounts of Sir Hope Grant and Admiral Hope with respect to the house taking of the Taku forts and other operations, and when he turned to the only official information by the Government, he folind to his grantet dantropthrisee though the papers laid on the table enwteergried devoid of ataintaitolgyreat detail as to every part of the subject, they taken and the services of any information as to the paurti notice of their services in particular individuals. Theed only a y despatch of two or three the Blue Book was contain lines relative to the captureivoefnthteo Tthaekhuofuo s r e t s n . T g rhoeurne dwlaid , in fact, in th e dospatchesg for the vote o f thanks which the Gov ernment now asked agree t o , and while he did not d is p ute the the i r lordshiphsetote, be thought at the s ame time that their pro p r iety of the lordships should have had some information of these parti cular and ind ividual services. As, however, his noble iriend t singled out any particular officer for special mention exempt ,Sir Hope Grant and Admir al Ho p e, it was, of course, impossible' for him (Lord Derby) to say more than he thought moot highly of those officers. Sir Hope Grant especially had surpassed by his gallantry and judgment even the fame he had won in the previous campaigns i n India. On one particular point he thought his conduct deserved especial mention and approval. He (Lord Derby) had seen this in print, and he had never seen it denied, and therefore he thought it would be wrong not to mention it. When hi's noble friend had spoken of the cordiality and good :understanding which existed between the English and French commanders, and between all branches of the service, it was right to sa y that there had been a great difference of opinio n between Sir Hope Grant and General Montauban as to the nature of the operations to be taken against the Taku forts. Sir Hope Grant, he believed, did not succeed in convincing General Montauban that his plan was the best, and therefore he took upon himself the responsibility of carrying out his own plan, notwithstanding lee must have felt that responsi bility was materially augmented by the difference of opinion between himself and the French general in com mand. It was a satisfactory feature of the case to find tl]lt the event itself amply justified Sir Hope Giant in the course he took, because it was found that the north forts, as he calculated, constituted the key of the whole position, that these once in our power, we commanded the whole of the other forts ; whereas, had the attack been made on the south fort, as proposed by General Montauban, and that fort had been taken, the invading forces would have been cannonaded by the fire of the other forts. He mentioned this fact lie cause he thought it was greatly to the credit of Sir Hope Grant that he showed not only the courage and bravery, in the field for which he was so pre-eminently distinguished, but that he should have taken upon himself the immense responsibility of acting upon his own judgment in a matter of so much importance. At the same time, it reflected equally great credit upon General Montauban, that, not withstanding the difference of opinion between himself and Sir Hope Grant on this point, that difference did not in 'the slightest degree diminish the cordiality and good under standing which previously subsisted, and which charac terised the way in which they acted together afterwards, • and which no doubt led to the satisfactory termination of the war. With respect to that war, the events which occurred after the taking of the Taku forts were, to his re gret, not of a nature to give Admiral Hope and the navy an opportunity of faking any striking or brilliant part. No doubt, whatever he had to do was done well ; but it was, of course, a matter of regret to the navy that they were not enabled to take a more pronii ninent part, and thus, in some measure, retrieve the temporary disaster they experienced at the first attack upon these forts. Another point on which, however, he could most cordially congratulate their lordships was the good order, and the good .conduct shown by our army in their march to and in returning from Pekin, and 'the friendly feeling vvhichwas shown to them by the native population. They were, in fact, not received as an invading enemy, but as a friendly force, and their reception by the people appeared to him to hold out a strong hope that the success of the expedition indicated success also when we came to carry out upon a ( larger scale the commercial ob jects contemplated by the treaty. It was,•indeed, most gratifying to find that our troops were everywhere so *'el received by the country people. When. Mr. Parkes went for ward he found, on •hie march a local commissariat in one place which had been provided for the Tartar troops ; but on the arrival of our troops the local commissariat trdus r. - ferred their services to the invading troops, and continued afterwards to supply them amply with all that they tre quired. (Hear.) It might be said-to be the result of sub mission to a superior force, but he could not help thinking that it was owing fully as much to the friendly feeling dis played by our troops, to their respect for property, and to the good order which characterised their conduct. lie could only hope that when extended commercial intercourse with China was established, under the treaty, those who were engaged in carryin i g i tt @n would . keep up the good charac ter and act with thee.same good order and friendly feeling which had distinginahed our troops. (Hear.) He would not say one word upon the other bearings of the war. 'He considered the question before their lordships that night was a purely military question. They were only called upon to pass a vote of thanks to the faces whose services had brought the war to a satisfactory termination, and therefore he would not enter into,any theory either as to the causes or the probable Nara consequences of the war. Undoubt edly though the future of China was somewhat gloomy, there was ample room under the treaty for the opening up of our • commerce upon ,a much larger scale. Upon. one point he could not but express his regret,•namely, that Lord Elgin should have, thought it necessary to demOlish the magnificent palace of the Emperor. He. knew well the reasons which had been urged for that course. It was true that some of our countrymen had been disgracefully kidnapped while under the protection of a flag of ' truce, that they had been disgracefully treated, and that some of 'them had died under that treat ment. It was therefore right that some reparation should have been made by the Chinese for these outrages, and, there were difficulties as to the shape which that reparation should take. Had it been made a e mere matterpf pecuniary com pensation, it would have lowered : the national character— had we demanded that the real murderers should be given up, we should only have hed some poor wretches delivered . sip who were guiltless of the crime, and upon whom, we could not have taken vengeance, while had we demanded the surrender of Prince San-ko-lin-sin, the real author of all the outrages, the demand Would have been evaded. (Hear, hear.) Nevertheless he must say that his own mind was not satisfied with what he considered the unnecessary destruction of the Palace of Yuen-ming-Yuen. He didaiot' think it was either a politic or'a satisfactory measure. ,Of course he spoke with great deference to the judgment of Lord Elgin, who had throughout those transactions shown such firmness, energy, and ability—(hear, hear)—but, he could not, help thinking that the destruction of the palace was a mistake in point of judgment and a mistake in point of policy. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the motion pro posed by his noble friend opposite, he was perfectly satisfied with it, and he believed that he might say their lordships, without any distinction of party, entirely concurred in the course which had been taken by her Majesty's Government on that occasion, and in the propriety and justice of ;the motion which had been submitted to theirlordships. (Hear.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said that after the full and ample explenations whieh had been given by his noble friend at the head of the War Department and the noble earl with respect to the motion, it only remained for to express' his views upon 'one or two military points con nected with it. •In the 'flist place, he could not but think that we had now found out that when this country was unfortunately compelled to go to war, the sooner it an be brought to' a conclusion' the better; but that feu only be effected by the supply of ample and abundant means for cariiing it on. The Duke of Wellingron ad said that England could not afford to have a little War ; 'but though it might be said that this was a little war, th e Pre parations for it were made' upon a great scale, and the con sequence was speedy and complete success. He must say on the part of the army that he had to express his full satisfaction at the way in which the army had been sup ported by the civil officers of the war department. Every thing had been found ready when wanted. But while he stated so much was due to his noble friend at the head of the war department, it would be unjust and improper to omit saying that a great part of the merit and success of • the expedition was due to his noble friend who sat on the cross-benches (Lord Clyde). (Cheers.) The whole of the troops engaged in that expedition were selected and lent from India under the.orders of his noble friend Lord Clyde, and to him, therefore,. must be attributed a great part of its guccesse • There were some •Other military points to which he desired to advert. This was the first time we had had a practical opportunitY of effectivelY testingeoneof the most wonderful inventions -of , moderti. -times. He meant the was in guns. lie had spoken, to the bffiCei who as in command of a bette'rye and he said the stiotig gun was thee - gun he could wish to go all over the world with, • and that in whatever position it might be placed the result was satisfactory. It had been said that alterations in t the gun were required before it could be said that it was quite satisfactory, and certainly to some extent that might be . true ; but at the same time the troops who had had epe rience of it in its present ,shape said it was the most perfect of any arm of the kind that could be imagined. With respect to the merits and behaviour of the officers connected with . the expedition itself, the conduct of that gallant officers, Sir Hope Grant, had been so fully spoken of, that he wbuld simply content himself with saying that there never'was an officer who snore' efficiently conducted the operations under his command. The greater credit• was due to him, because, as was well known, all combined operations under a divided command were more difficult than where there was only a single command. The fact that a dif- • ference of opinion arose between Sir Hope Grant and the French general in command, in which the former thought it to;be his duty to act on his own opinion, had b i e t ensr w ke an n of by his noble friend as redounding to his c • satisfactory to find that that difference of opinion disturbed nor interrupted the good feeling an had neither good der standing which existed between Generalin Montauban and mo st satisfactory oc cSui Si r r il e n o c p e e , be Grant. eaus e when He n said a ti n a t was independent loom nd could o d interruption a feeling,Yo rtant practical point with out both parties deser ve d all the credit that could bci awarded to them, and he was happy to add that nothing lanan of g an good p could exceed the good f ee li ng which had been shown by v our allies. Both the F r en c h an d the . - E n glish troops had vied with each other in their at tempts to do their duty to the countries which had sent them f or th on that distant expedition. (Cheers.) Anoth er point that required notice was, that a large portion of the s employed on the expedition were native troops sent from tr India. After what had been the state of the army in India but a comparatively short time since, it might have been thought that there was some danger in sending these native troops on so distant a service, but he was happy to say nothing could have exceeded the good conduct and the good feeliug of the native troops from India employed on this service. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the services of the navy he was sure that it was animated by the same ardour and the same desire to distinguish itself as thesutay and the only reason why it had not succeeded was, thfit the same opportunities were not offered to it. Indeed, nothing could exceed the gallantry and zeal of the officers in both services. The navy had done their duty in China. It was true that they had not the same opportunity as the annoy to display their use and energy, but if it, were not for the navy the army would not have been enabled to obtain the glori ous rieult which they had achieved. (Hear, hear.) His Royarilighness, after referring to the gallant servicee of Sir Robert Napier, expressed his deep indignation at the. con duct of the Chinese Government in reference to MA. Nor man, Captain Brabazon, Mr. Bowlby, and the other prisoners taken by the Chinese. He thought it to be his duty to say so much upon an occasion like the preseeet. Lord CLYDE, who was but indistinctly heard in e_ gallery, was understood to pass a high erilogit o e n nci tn ia : groat services of Sir Hope Grant when he was In India, groat and he had therefore great gratificatie,n in le ar P ir 4 urage CO' and , that officer had displayed the same) energy' skill in China. He entirely coney:trod the vote of thanks.
