Lord CHELMSFORD could not agree with the noble and learned lord in the view he had taken of the case. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that his noble friend had laid down the law most correctly. The law as to port was vague, and it had been suffered to remain in some un certainty. After the proclamation there was no doubt that any person joining either side violated the law of his own country, and must not look to it for redress. But on the other hand, a person accepting a commission from either belligerent parties, although violating the law of his own country, was still carrying on what was called a justron &limn, and if he was treated as a pirate, it would be murder. Lord KINGSDOWN said Oa e inhabitants of the Northern considered the Southern States as rebels and guilty of high treason, and might deal with them as such. That prin ciple might apply to their own subjects, but as the Southern States were recognised as belligerents by were not entitled to apply it to the subjects of the other powers. It was impossible to defend before hand ; what was contraband of war ? Coals, for instance, for commer cial purposes were not contraband of war, but if they were taken for the supply of war steamers that would materially alter the case. The subject then dropped.

MURDER IN FRANCE.—An account was given in January of an old man, named Huet, of Carrieres-Saint- Denis, having been murdered in his house, an isolated one, in which he lived alone, and of his drawers and closets having been ransacked of everything of value—also of the police baying subsequently arrested at Rueil, a journeyman butcher, named Ballagny, on suspicion of having committed the crime. Yesterday this man was brought to trial for the murder before the Court of Assizes of the Seine-et-Oise. It appeared that on the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th of January, nothing was seen of old Huet, and that no answer was given to knocks at the door : but that in the night of the latter day, one of the villagers going home late saw a light in his cellar. She cried " Thieves 1" and a number of the neighbours assembled, Th 3 doors being locked, one of them got a ladder and prepared to enter by a window ; and at the same moment a man was seen to jump over the gar den wall and take to flight across the fields. He was pur sued, but could not be captured. The house having been entered, old Huet was found lying dead at tho bottom of the stairs, with his skull smashed in by blows from a blunt instrument, and with his cravat tied tightly round his neck. The state of the drawers showed that he had been murdered for the sake of robbery, but what was taken could not be ascertained ; it is supposed, however, that part of the booty was a sum of 3,000 fr. The police on inquiry learned that late in the night in question a man had gone to a house of ill fame at Rueil, and had remained there until the next morning. This man resembled the one who had been seen to run from Huet's house, and the police soon ascertained that he was Ballagny. Moreover, a bundle containing articles in dress was found in Huet's garden; it had evidently been aban doned by the man who had taken to flight; those articles, one of which was a goat-skin coat, were recognised as 1301 lagny's. Ia presence of these facts the man not only :I:ma no attempt to deny his guilt, but he gave details o f the , crime ; among other things he sa id it was i n the even in g °I the 10th that he had committed it, and that he had re mained in the house, eati ng , d r i n ki ng , and sleeping until the night of the 12th. The jury declared him guilty, an on Court co4dexaneci lute to deutli. CIVIL BILLS (IRELAND).

THIRD EDITION. SCIN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PA RLIAMEN T. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE PROCLAMATION. The Earl of ELLEN -BOROUGH said he was anxious to ask the noble earl the President of the Council the con struction to be put upon certain portions of the proclamation lately issued by her Majesty with respect to a war in America. According to his notions, it should not be necessary to go to a lawyer in order to understand the document. He wished to know, in the first instance, in what sense we were to understand the phrases "lawfully," and "actually" applied to a blockade. The noble earl explained at some length the meaning that had been applied to the terms lawfully established and effec tively maintained, and he said he should like to know whe ther the new phrase was to bear the same meaning. li e much objected to the vague terms, contraband of war, and wished to be informed what articles they were which her Majesty's subjects were not to carry to sea near the coasts of America. The law relating to articles contraband of war was very indistinct, and when he looked. into this question six years ago he found that a broad limit was laid down, that what were to be considered contraband of war were those articles necessary to the combatants at war. Earl GRANVILLE said, with respect to the first ques tion, the international law with respect to blockade had not been altered. He considered that a blockade would be lawfully and actually established if we accorded to the con tending parties the term belligerents, and if a sufficient farce were used to prevent ingress or egress of vessels into the ports blockaded. He thought the noble earl had partly answered the second part of the question himself in defining articles contraband of war. In all cases, however, the matter depended on the decision of the prize court. Earl DERBY did not feel disposed to object to the pro clamation as vague, knowing the the:difficulty of drawing up such a document. It was: important . ; that we should come to an understanding with the United States with re gard to this question of blockade. The navy of the United States was numerous enough to carry eu.t, an effectual biocktaie along the whole line of the American coasts. He thought it important that the Government of the United States should understand that we would not recognise a mere paper blockade. He referred to the threat of the United States Government to regard all privateers as pirates. It was invariably recognised that privateering was not piracy, and the United States Government ought not to be allowed to punish privateers with capital punish ment. Lord BROUGHAM said that ptivataering was not piracy, but the law of nations as at present understood and administered; but any subject of her Majesty's going in any expedition agst any power at peace with her Majesty, that was a piratical act, and after warning given in the proclamation, their blood must rest on their own heads. He thought that contraband of war wes anything that was furnished to one State to enable it to carry on war. He agreed that it was not essential that the whole coast should be so blockaded so as to prevent all egress and ingress, bui that there should be sufficient force to make any attemp extremely doubtful of success. 3CAPE OF tween the broke out eeper, No. vie by the ss than 14 by g reat to promp t d, but nOt )al ports ,ce Friday Ivails, and urday are don have toms' m are much exported it 169,886 Sunder s against let 45,830 )ns ; and Lt 143,436 nderland, 3 increase exported £37,531; cant to coroner the sum arrang- burial of wilfully, anguage rimrose- circum- The dis- Df burial clock in were re- nen em- torches he place ted por idnight. in, and y what the law L of the ng the • of the ke any THAMES. DISTTJREANCE IN TIGER BAY.--John. Smith, a tall sallow-looking man, attired in a guernsey frock, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting Mary Howard, of No. 33, Brunswick-street, better known as Tiger-bay, St. George's-in•-the-East, and breaking up her household furniture. The complainant, who belongs to the fat, fair, and forty order, said that Mr. Smith was her lodger—in fact he had been living with her, and she mainly supported him by her own industry. Yesterday she went out chafing, and earned Is. 6d., which she brought home in the evening, and spent a few halfpence in supplying him with beer and tobacco. He wanted the rest of the money, and on her refusing to give it to him be broke up her bedstead, chairs, chimney ornaments, washing-basin and stand, and then danced on the ruins of her property. When she remonstrated with him he beat her about the head and body and nearly killed her. Mr. Selfe—Come, Mrs. Howard, you are exaggerating ; there is a slight mark on your face, and that is all. This was done in Tiger-bay ? Mrs. Howard—Yes, sir. That is what they call our street. Mr. Selfe—And a very appropriate name it is. The prisoner —Every word she says is false. She broke the things by wrestling with me. Mr. Selfe— She broke a bedstead, two chairs, two tables, and a lot of crockery by wrestling ? Prisoner—Yes, sir. Mr. Selfe—lt was a most extraordinary wrestle indeed. The prisoner —The things don't belong to her, but to me. She got my half-pay while I was away, sir. Mrs. Howard —He was away in the West Indies on a sugar plantation for 10 years, and he came back on the Gbh of December last ill, with £2 4s. Bd. in his pocket, and I have lived with him ever since. He lived with me 18 years ago, and I have been a true and good wife to him for a lon time. Mr. Salta—No. You are not a true and good wife. You are not married to him, and have no claim on each other. Mrs. Howard--I want a separation from him. Mr. Selfe—will you keep away from 33, Brunswick street, Mr. Smith ? Thti prisoner —I will, sir, indeed. The prisoner was then bound over in his own recognis ance to keep the peace and be of good behaviour towards all her Majesty's subiertg, and Aspreinli F M.ry Uovrard, fvr Six mouths. Mr. Selfe—Give the prisoner his papers. He has him discharge now, and a discharge from Mary Howard and Tiger-bay. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

Several petitions were presented in favour of encousag, ing the growth of cotton in India, in consequence of the probable decrease in the supply of that article from Ame rica, owing to the dissensions in that country ; in favour of providing means for the better education of Roman Catho lic children ; and for securing the free exercise of their reli gious worship by pauper adults in workhouses, &c. RELIGIOUS PERSECUTIONS IN SPAIN. Sir R. PEEL gave notice that he should ask a question en this subject. MAILS BETWEEN GALWAY AND AMERICA. Mr. BAXTER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if the Government had terminated the contract entered into with the Atlantic Royal Steam Company for carrying mails between Galway and America ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was competent for the Government to terminate a contract of this description without consulting the house upon the subject, but the papers relating to the same were afterwards, according to practice, laid on the table of the house, so that hon. members were in possession of the circumstances which determined the Government in the course they adopted. His noble friend the Postmaster- General had addressed a letter to the secretary of the com pany in question, declaring that contract with the company at an end. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) received a note from the secretary of the company dated this day, to the effect that, if time were afforded the company they would be prepared to argue the issues on all the questions raised relative to this subject. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACTS. Sir H. STRACEY asked the President of the Board of Trade when he purposed t o b r i ng i n hi s bill to amend the Merchant Shipping Acts, of which he had at different times given notice ? Mr. M. GIBSON sa id th a t t hi s question h a d been un avoidably postponed i n consequence o f the public business, but he wou ld i n t ro d u ce a bill ou the sub ject immediately a ft er th e Whit su ntide recess , and he pressure of trusted that the state of business would not further delay the consideration of it to any length of time. THE CONVENTION WITH FRANCE. In reply to Sir H. ST.RoAfCEthye EXCHE QUER said th a t her Majesty's G , The CHANCELL OR had received no official informa tion of any P me ee( l e . o rn g .. i n the Fren c h S enate calculated to infringe the provisions of the conventi on in reference t o th e fisheries of the two countries. lie b e li eved that there was v 7 the part of the French Go vernment to act desi 7 n h o in regard to ca rry i ng out the provisions of the every d fal con vention. ALLEGED BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. M'EVOY drew the attention of the house to what he considered a breach of privilege in reference to himself. He entered the roum where the select committee on the registration of births, deaths, and marrriages in Ireland we a sitting, when the examination of witnesses was going on. The hon, member for Clonmel (Mr. Bagwell), who was in the chair in the absence of the hon. gentleman the Secre tary for Ireland, bedgaled to him Alld. Old him he was 110 t ' f order in being present. He replied that he was not, and then retired. Being, as he considered, acquainted with the rights of members, and having a k nowledge of this subject, he thought it right to bring the subject before the house, but without the slightest hostility towards the honourable member (Mr. Bagwell,) who acted in ignorance of the rules of the house. The hon. member read certain rules and, decisions of antecedent Speakers of the house to show that members were entitled to be present at committees unless they were secret or in deliberation. Mr. BAGWELL complained that due notice of the sub■ ject had not been given to him. Mr. MTV OY said that he had delivered a letter at the hon. member's that morning stating that he would bring on the sulVect. Mr. BAGWELL then explained that the committee were rally in deliberation at the time when the hon. mem ber entered the room. After some remarks from Lord NAAS and Mr. 111AciurRE, The subject dropped. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. In reply to Mr. DISRAELI, Lord PALMERSTON said that he hoped he was not too sanguine :in his expectation that the Financial Budget Bill would be read a second time that evening. He was most anxious to consult the convehience of hon. members when it was consistent with the progress of the business of Parliament. Assuming, therefore, that the financial bill would be read a second time that evening he proposed not to proceed further with it until next Monday week, so that hononourable members would not be put to the inconvenience of coming to London next week in consequence of having to consider any question of public importance, when it was of c ours e desirable that there should be as full a house as possible. CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL. Mr. HENNESSY contended that there was an irregu -. larity in the manner in which the chicory and teat resolu tions had been introduced into the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill. The SPEAKER explained that the hon. member was i n error, as there was no irregularity whatever. These reso lutions were properly introduced into the bill in question as constituting the necessary subject of ways and means. Mr. DU CANE then resumed the adjourned debate en the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill. He deprecated in the strongest terms the policy of abolishinh the duty on paper while that on tea was retained, and contended that even amongst paper manufacturers and stationers there was no unanimity in favour of the remission of the former im post. If the case for the retention of that duty were strong last year they were much stronger this year under the cir cumstances of the country. He believed that this. proposed remission was merely a concession and a salve to the wounded feelings of a considerable party in that co entry who, in his opinion, entertained principles most dangerous to the constitution. He appealed to the house to show- their pru dence and foresight, and reject this provision of the budget. Sir W. HEATHCOTE also opposed the remission of the tax, chiefly in reference to its conflicting with the privileges of the House of Lords. THE PRINCESS ALICE'S ANNUITY BILL. Mr. Justice IVilles and Mr. Justice Keating appeared at the bar of the house and brought up a message from the House of Lords stating that their lordships had eigreed to the Bill for an annuity to her Royal Highness the TrinceEN Alice.
