r7f.'7t_ " `." RIAL PARIA AMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS---(YtSTERDAY.) The house met five o'clock. LIVERPOOL ASSIZES. Lord CAMPBELL said he was instructed by that respectable body—the Northern Circuit—to make a re presentation in his place in that house to the Lord Chan cellor. The judges, bar, attornesy, grand jurymen, &C. , attending upon the assizes, for the county of Lancaster, Were all in a state of the greatest dismay, in consequence of the intelligence they had received from the Mayor of Liverpool that at the coming assizes in that town. they were to be turned out of St. George's Hall, which had been accorded to their use by solemn compact, and con demned to sit in a place which was situated in locality where `the cholera generally raged, and which he could say from experience very much resembled the black hole of Cal cutta. The reason for this proceeding, he understood, was - that St. George's Hall was being decorated prior to 'the visit of her Majesty to Liverpool ; but he did not think her Majesty wou ld wish her visit to impede the - teourse of justice; Be hoped his noble friend would in. quire into the subject, and that, in the event of no other remedy being! • found, a bill would be introduced for holding ali the assizes for the county at Lancaster Castle, where there was ample accommodation for the courts of justice. Thit•LORD CHANCELLOR said that was the first t i m e he had heard of the circumstance. He sould hardly suppose•the visit of her Majesty was the re a l reason f or • shuttiug up the courts of justice. He should direct a letter to .be written to the Mayor of Liverpool, request• ktirtn' ta give some explanation of the matter. Lord BROUGHAM sympathised with his learned brethren on the Northern Circuit in the inconvenience they would suffer by their-removal to the place men tioned. This was another instance of the necessity for , the appointment of a public prosecutor, whose duty it -4,should bet° watch over the administration of justice.

Lord' MONTEAGLE moved the second reading of bill, with a short explanation of its ob)ects, which Chave already been fully reported. The Duke of ARGYLL approved of the principles of the bill, but feared that it would settle the grievances of •Lihe'protession in a partial manner. At present licen liiitee of the medical schools of Edinburgh and Glasgow 41 - 3 were prevented practising in England, and their case 3 wee not provided for by this biil. It was quite clear ' that this exclusion could not be preserved, but that in any general measure of medical reform we must have free trade in doctors ae well as anything else. Pending that measure ? he would confine the privileges conferred on graduates of London, to a removal of the penalties respecting vaccination and lunacy, which were provided for by the second clause. He begged to remind the house that this bill, although supported in the other 1 " house by Lord Palmerston and Lord J. Russell, was by 4 . 1 no means to be considered as a Government measure. He moved that the object of the bill be confined to re ' moving the pains and penalties inflicted for practising in vaccination and lunacy cases. Lori.l CAMPBELL asserted the claims of the Scotch . . universities, but was willing to accept the compromise ,propcised by'tbe noble duke, pending a general measure of niediCal reform. . Lord_MONTE iGLE replied. . _ _ Lord BROUGHAM defended the bill, as being only a just following up of the charter upon which the Uui versity of London .was founded. After a short discussidif the bill was read a second time, with the understanding that the Duke of Argyll's suggestion should be considered in committee. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL.

The Earl of DONOUGHMORE rose to call attention to the state of postal communication in Ireland. He „stated the fact to be, that since the establishment of rail 4,,mays inireland, there was leas postal accommodation sf,:than before. -e Viscount CANNING could assure the noble earl that nithe Government, both then and at all times, were quite ready to make any improvements which were needed. ' 1 -He could assure that house that the Post-office authori ties were most anxious that justice should be done to the ' commercial community of the sister country. After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE, the sub .,ject dropped. of COMMUNICATION WITH THE GUARDS OF RAILWAY TRAINS. er 'Earl-FITZHARDINGE rose to inquire whether the Liktterition of her Majesty's Ministers had been drawn to late attempt to murder a policeman in a railway car ' 'riage ; and whether, in consequence, they had any in.- , tention to, introduce a measure to compel the railway ..companies to adopt some means enabling the guard to communicate with the engine driver when trains were in motion. The attempt to which he referred took place on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, , and the victim of the assault was an inspector of police, who had in his custody two prisoners. These prisoners, having ascertained that the train in which they were tra . yelling would not stop for some time, commenced ill treating the officer, with a design, if possible, of killing him. It appeared that the guard made cries for three miles without being able to attract the attention of the driver. At length he succeeded in making him hear, ~but, as the- judge who tried the case observed, the maul might have died in the meantime. When such an out rage could be committed legislation ought to be resorted to in order to compel railways to provide some means of communication between the guard and the driver of a train. Whatever difficulty there might be in supplying the defect, he felt quite certain that in this mechanical se it might be overcome. Capt. Claxton, of the Navy, f who had been frequently employed in assisting I:1dr. Brunel, bad written to him stating that in his opi nion neither Mr. Brunel, Mr. Stephenson, nor Mr. cLoeice, would allow that there was any mechanical ffi di e,culty i n -k eep i ng up a commun i ca ti on b e t ween the guard • - and the driver, adding, that on the London and South- Western. Railway the object had been accomplishedby the si m pl e contr i vance o f a li ne running C ,under the carr i ages. He (Earl F i tzhard i nge ) h oped ..'Parliantent would not separate at the end of next session without-having compelled railroad companies to adopt. ,some means of preventing a recurrence of such scenes as vhe had. described. .. :Lord STANLEY of ALDERLY—The subject has already occupied the attention Of the Government.

(Hear.) . Earl FITZHARDINGE said nothing could exceed the attention and care of official s of the railway with whicla he was most familiar, namely, : the Great Western . Ranlway. regard ~ 4 .1 Lord CAMPBELL thought their lordships h ad so.ne reason to c om pl a i n th a t the bill, with to rai;- ......e had w igs; had not been brought before them. ..ict ',himself pointed out several defects which most y burgentlyth! required to b e remedied. It had b een h e ld judges that the companies were not liable for any act done by thei r servants unless it were done under the authority of th e seal of the company ; and in a l case to which h e h a d referred, a respectable clergyman „ 1 who was supplied w i t h a return ticket ~ by any train, :.baving travelled by an "express train," and refused to I pay half-a-crown extra which was demanded of him, was l i linibie-to obtain redress for having been locked up for 1 . fenti-and-twenty hours. The judge said the company I. .were - not liable,. , beeause the official exceeded his autho ,;aitjcstid did not act under the-Common seal. As he had ' before stated, it appeared to him most reasonable 'that THE SETICT, TIOND'ON, companies should be liable under such circumstances. The legislative machinery seemed that session to be wholly out of gear, but he hoped that in the next session the Government would do their duty in this matter. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY could assure the noble earl that a similar measure to that which ha i been withdrawn would be introduced next session. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' Amendments to the Wiest London Rail way and the Westminster Terminus Railway Bills were considered and agreed to. THIRD READINGS. The Stainforth's Estate and Stirling's Estate Bill were read a third time and passed. The Worsley's Estate Bill was read a second time. BRIBERY BILL. The consideration of this bill, as amended, was then proceeded with, commencing with the adjourned debate on Lord John Russell's clause making it illegal to give refreshments to voters on the day of nomination or polling. Mr. WALPOLE opposed- the- clause as being at variance with public opinion. It was hopeless to think of inducing the elector to register his vote solely from patriotic motives. Mr. THORNELY strongly objected to allowing either travelling expenses or refreshments, as it would be only opening the door to endless bribery and treating. Mr. T. EGERTON said the clause was decidedly at variance with the feelings of the country, prohibiting as it did the commonest hospitality, and he was satisfied that it would be largely evaded. Mr. STANHOPE argued that it was unjust to expect that men would come from a long distance to poll at county elections, if they were required not only to Loose a day but to pay for their own refreshments. He there fore agreed with the last speaker that all parties would combine to evade the clause. Mr. L. HEYWORTH remarked that, if they wished to elevate the character of the elector, they must abolish travellingboth mA.N es d the xp s e a n t sesa bindril d b refreshments. Mr.' useless they allowed reasonable refreshments of any kind. It - 'was a mistake to permit travelling expenses, but if they per mitted refreshments, bribery and treating would be as rife as ever. Capt.' SCOBELL hoped the noble lord would adhere to the clause. Mr. E. BALL obtained his election without the ex pense of a penny piece, and he never would consent to sit upon any other terms. A member of Parliament gave up a good deal of time to the service of his constituents, and it was unjust to expect him to pay either travelling or refreshment expenses The dignity of the electors, as well as the integrity of the member, depended in a great measure upon the absence of both, and, under these cir cumstances, he should oppose treating of every kind. Mr. ROBERTS also supported the clause. Mr. BARROW insisted that county electors coming from a distance were entitled to reasonable refreshment. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it 35 Majority —42 The clause was accordingly read a second time. Lord R. GROSVENOR moved to add the day of de claration to the day of nomination and polling. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the noble lord would not press his amendment. Mr. G. BANKES moved to insert the following words, "not being refreshment reasonably incidental to the travelling expenses of such voter." Mr. HILDYARD seconded the amendment. Lord J. RUSSELL said the object of the clause was to remove the uncertainty of the law of treating, but if this amendment were adopted, he was afraid it would not attain that object, because it was very difficult to decide what were reasonable refreshments to be allowed to travellers. He therefore could not assent to the amendment. • Sir F. KELLY thought it would be carrying their lagislation too far to reject this amendment. The house already decided that reasonable travelling expenses should be allowed to a voter coming from a distance, and how could they stop short in allowing him reasonable refreshment in the course of the journey when it was long. After some further discussion the house divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority . 61 . 113 .--52 The amendment %vas accordingly rejected. Lord R. GROSVENOR moved to leave out from the word "refreshment" in line six, to the end of the clause, iu order to insert the words "shall be deemed an ille gal act, and the person so offending shall forfeit the suns of 40s. for each offence to any person who shall sue for the same, together with full cost of suit," instead thereof. The amendment was agreed to, after a brief technical discussion. Mr. M'MAHON moved to add the following clauses after clause 14 :—ln case of any indictment or informa tion by a priiate prosecutor for any offence against the provisions of this act, if judgment shill be given for the ' defendant, he shall be entitled to recover from the pro secutor the costs sustained by the defendant by reason of such indictment or information, such costs to be taxed by the proper officer of the Court in which such judgment shalt be given. It shall not be lawful for any Court to order payment of the costs of a prosecutor for any offence against the provisions of this act, un less the prosecutor shall before, or upon the finding of the indictment, or the granting of the information, enter into a recognisance, with two sufficient sureties, in the sum of 2001. (to be acknowledged in like manner as is now required in cases of writs of certiorari awarded at the instance of a defendant in an indictment) with the conditions following, that is to say, that the prose cutor shall conduct the prosecution with effect, and shall pay to the defendant or defendants, in case he or they shall be acquitted, his or their costs. Mr. PHINN opposed the clauses, as the principle of giving security for costs by a prosecutor was unknown to the English law ; but if it were, the case of bribery was not one which it ought to apply to. Sir F. KELLY insisted on the other hand, that bribery was an exceptional case, and since parties were liable to be improperly prosecuted for it during the heat of political excitement, it was only right to recover their costs. At the same time it should always be pro vided that prosecutions for bribery by the Crown should be exempt from this rule. After some observations from Mr. HILDYARD. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the clauses, believing that it would be unwise to throw any obstacles in the way of prosecutions for bribery, or they would never be undertaken at all. He bad, however, no objec tion to give the judge the power of granting the defend ants costs where he thought the prosecution had been instituted without sufficient cause, or from malicious motives. After some further discussion the clauses were agreed to, and were ordered to be added to the bill. Some other clauses were added to the bill, which was then considered, as amended, and ordered to be read a third time on Friday next at the evening sitting. The other twelve o'clock orders were then disposed of, and the sittings were suspended at four o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock. QUEEN'S MESSAGE. --ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. BOUVERIE having brought up the report of sup ply on the vote of credit. On the question that the resolution be read a second time, Lord D. STUART rose to move the addition of the fol lowing amendment, of which he had given notice : " That an humble address be presented to her Majesty, to return her Majesty the thanks of this house for her most gracious message, and to assure her Majesty, that her Ma jesty, deeming it expedient to provide for any additional expense which may arise in consequence of the war in which her Majesty is now engaged against the Emperor of Russia, may fully rely on the cheerful zeal and constant affection of her faithful Commons, and to assure her Ma jesty that they most readily do make provision according to her Majesty's wishes, and humbly to pray, that her Majesty will be graciously pleased n at to prorogue her Par liament until she shall have been enabled to afford to this house snore full information with respect both. to her Ma . - jesty's relations with foreign powers, and to her views and prospects in the contest in which her Majesty is engaged." He had stated last night that he thought it desirable such a motion should be made, and the occurrences of last night had convinced him that such a motion was now not only desirable, but necessary. Probabiy the annals of Par r liarnent did not record a similar occurrence to that which the house witnessed with astonishment last night, when the leader of the Government in that house came down on a solemn occasion, an 1 not in the heat of contra , versy, and not in reply to observations made by hii opponents, but deliberately made an exposition of the policy of the Government—of the objects which they pro• posed to attain - in the present war—and then, not after the lapse of any length of time, but almost within the same hour, contradicted what he had said before, and give an explanation which was understood by the house to be a rtrteactation. (Cries of "Na, no.") It was an explana too.so different from the former statement of the noble " retraetati ee e lord, that . ha-knew no word by which to describe it except stood by the the opposition one in the It appeared that almost every house had 11 ,4 may that such ;:v erstood the noble lord as he had been under stood to the usual " the right hon. member for Bucks, the leader of kind, he found that (Cries of " No.") He did not hesitate to un derstood in the same general understanding, and on look in an organ that favoured of information in matters of that e by in a all n ntoehfre.t Government,h em the no b I e t lordhat the was noble He found from the report lord said— .

(Cheers.) His friends had c h eere d that euota , ti o n very ranch. They were delighted with it, an d so w - e. 4, h e , i He had cheered-the declaration of the noble lord as loudly ea lany one; but did the noble lord stand by it on its being repeated? The noble lord afterwards got up and said th a t he had made use of no such expressions. (Cries of " No, 'tne," and "Hear, hear.") The noble lord said, " Wh a t I aria was that I thought Russia could not be allowed to -Maintain the menacing attitude which she has lately done .: by keeping so large a fleet at Sebastopol." (Hear.) liraS the declaration the same? . (Hear.) Did the hon. gentle,' i man perceive no discrepancy between them ? According j to the latter explanation, if Russia were to reduce her Black Sea fleet to one or two sail of the line, that would bring her within the terms of the latter explanation. How the noble lord had come to diminish his declaration to that extent it was not for him to explain. It would seem to an impartial spectator as if the noble lord had received some communication from some of his colleagues either in that house or in another place—perhaps from the noble earl at the head of the Gevernment, or perhaps the noble lord had felt, after having spoken out his sensible, bold, manly opinion in the first instance, that it might not be altogether in harmony with the opinions of those with whom he was acting. That showed more than ever that they were govern ed now by men who were not in accordance withone another —not even in agreement with themselves, but vacillating and distracted in their councils. (Hear.) It appeared to him that though some of them might be desirous—the noble lord he believed was one—of carrying on the war with a vigour suited to the great objects to be attained, there were others who desired nothing so much as to bring the war to a conclusion, no matter on what terms. He believed that the countsy were generally of opinion that the war might easily have been preventA if there had been at the head of the Government a man of capacity, firmness, and reso lution, who would not have been afraid to meet the designs of the Czar by bold and determined language. His belief was that if such language had been used the Czar would never have made that aggression in Turkey, which, having been made, had necessarily led to resistance and to war. If they had had any other minister than Lord Aber deen the war, in his opinion, would never have taken place. He believed that Lord Aberdeen was sincere in his desire to prevent war, but his measures to prevent it had failed, and instead of averting it his pusillanimous conduct, un worthy the minister of a great country, had rendered the war necessary and inevitable. He could not, therefore, feel any respect for the capacity of a minister who, besides having taken the wrong course, had failed in the means he had adopted. He believed that the people felt that those persons who had not the sagacity to perceive danger in the distance were not likely to have the capacity to meet it whoa it came near. That opinion was supported by facts. ,l-reat armaments had been sent forth, but no results had been produced. A belief had sprung up that the Govern ment wished to saddle the country with a maximum of ex pense, anti with a minimum of results, in order to disgust them with the war. Oar fleet in the Baltic had captured some tar, and some exploits had been affected of a gallant nature, but what victories could we boast of that were likely to have any decisive effect on the war ? Some lives had been lost in affairs like that of Gamla Karleby, chiefly because the fleet had not been provided with vessels of a small draught of water. In the Black Sea Odessa had been half bombarded ; and—what was satisfactory, no doubt we had taken possession of the forts at the mouth of the Danube. But these things ought to have been effected long ago. If we had had v,:s;els of shal low draught in the Danube we might have pre vented the Russians crossing the Danube. The right hon. baronet the Frat Lord of the Admiralty had made a grandiloquent statement of a convoy of twelve transports, laden with provisions and munitions, which had been taken Loin the Russians; but the production of the des patch showed that these twelve transports were miserable coasters that had been picked up from time to time by our cruisers; that their crows did not average mare than four men each ; and that what had been called munit ons of war was oatmeal. (A laugh.) The result was discontent among our forces. We had not marched our troops to the assistance of Omei-Pasha; and at the present moment they were stopped at Varna for want of the means of transport. The only satisfactory achievement in the war was by the Turks. Omer Pasha had shown his ability as a general, and the Turks their courage as soldiers. The arrogant Russians, who talked of driving the Turks before them like chaff, and of taking a military promenade to Constan tinople, had been bold enough iu affairs like Sinope, or against a disabled steamer stranded on their coast, but had been ignominiously defeated by the barbarian troops of that power which the Czar talked of as moribund. No one last year would have dared to prophesy that Russia would in 1854 be driven across the Danube by the Turkish troops, unassisted by their allies. Yet such was the fact. Of late the noble earl at the head of the Government had talked of carrying on the war with the concurrence of France and the "other powers." He wished to know what was meant by the words " other powers." Perhaps Aus tria and Prussia were referred to. What assistance had Austria rendered to us ? We had not experienced the hostility of Prussia; true, but that was all that could be said of her. A treaty had been concluded bstween Austria and the Porte; but why had Austria not entered the Principalities? They had been told that Austria would drive the Russians out of the Principalities, but the Russians had not retired, and were preparing to d ;fend themselves. What was meant then by the use of such words, when Austria had not declared war. Every thing had been done to conciliate Austria. It had ever been the policy of the Earl of Aberdeen to conciliate Aus tria, and to look to Austria as if Austria ought to be the guile to British councils. It was in reference .to such a diseoidtion, that the noble lord the Home Secretary, now a colleague of the Earl of Aberdeen, made use of the re markable expression, in speaking of that noble earl, that the country was guided by the counsels of antiquated imbecility. When the war brcke out, it, was proposed to enrol a body of Poles in the Turkish service. He believed the noble lord the Home Secretary approved of that pro posal, but it had been laid aside for giving offence to Aus tria, though it now appeared that Austria did not object to it. It would no doubt be a great advantage to have Austria on our side. Let the allied forces once att .ck Sebastopol, as the noble lord talked of their doing, and they would soon find Austria on their side. (Hear, hear.) But so long as the troops of Russia were able to set at de- dance the allied forces of England and France, so long .vould Austria be unwilling to declare war against her Now, the hon. member for the West Riding, who in speak ing of him had used the expression of " his hon. and de luded friend," but in whose case , he might return the com pliment by calling him his hon. and philo-Russian friend, had observed that the contest in which we were now engaged was not. one favourable to the cause of oppressed nationali ties. But was not the Emperor of Russia one of the great est enemies of nationality? Had not he crushed the liberties of Poland and of Hungary, and would it not be desirable that that arch-enemy of freedom should as far as possible be humbled ? His hon. friend had spoken of crum pling up Russia, but he (Lord D. Stuart) could not see that we had as yet succeeded in making any impression whatever upon that power. Such being the position of affairs, after four mouths of war, a general distrust of the honesty and energy of the Government in prosecuting hostilities had begun to spread throughout the country. The people of England had begun to entertain fears that we may even be hurried into some ignominious, unstable, and unsafe peace; and that the House of Commons may com bine with the Government for that end by permitting the war to be carried on, as had hitherto been the case, with out vigour or energy. Under these circumstances he had thought it proper to take the course which he had that evening adopted, and for that course he might observe that he had the authority of precedent. A motion similar to that which he had submitted to the house had been made by Mr. Dunning in the year 1780, by Mr. Erskine in 1783, and by Mr. C. Grey, afterwards Earl Grey, in 1805. The noble lord concluded by making the motion of which he had given notice. Mr. S. HERBERT said the noble lord who had just sat down had concluded his speech by referring to precedents, in order to justify the course which he had that evening thought it desirable to adopt► Upon the ground of prece dent ho had no complaint to make of the noble lord. Simi lar motions had been made upon questions of natures the most diverse ; but they were distinguished from that of the noble lord by the peculiarity that they had been brought forward by opponents of the Government as a direct cen sure upon its acts, and as an expression of want of confi dence in its administration of affairs. He could only say, that if the noble lord had that evening thrown down a chal lenge, the Government were ready to take it up—to offer the noble lord battle upon his own terms, and to — abide by that decision at which, with respect to their conduct of the war, the House of Commons—the representative of the opinions of the country—might arrive. Before he pro ceeded, however, to deal with the speech of the noble lord, he should wish to offer a few observations to the house with reference to some statements which in the discussion of the evening previous had been made by the hon. mem ber for Aylesbury (Mr. Layard). That hon. gentleman, having made some quotations from a letter which he said he had received from the East, had gone on to remark that the Duke of Wellington having complained very loudly at the commencement of the Peninsular war ( f the great de ficiency which existed in the organisation of the commis sariat department, hail, by the application of the high ad ministrative ability which he possessed, brought that de partment to a state of the utmost perfection towards the conclusion of the campaign. But the hon. gentleman had gone further, and observed that the admirable system which had been framed under the Duke of Wellington had at the conclusion of the late war been suddenly alt-red, if net completely abolished; so that the fruits of the Duke of Wellington's labours had been lost to the country. Where the hon. member had found the materials upon which to base that statement, he (Mr. S. Herbert) could not say; but, in reply to the hon. member, he should simply state that that system which the Duke of Welling ton had succeeded in bringing to perfection towards the end of the war still continued to remain unchanged, It was true that in England the commissariat had been alto gether abolished, but the system of the Duke of Welling ton had been maintained throughout our colonies exacCy upon the same footing as that upon which that illus trious personage had placed it. The only change, in fact, that had been mule in connection with the sub ject hart Consisted in substituting for the heel of the commissariat department a responsible minister of the Crowa—a change which had been deemed neceesary for the welfare of the service and the interests of the country. The person whom the Government hail selected to conduct the affairs of that department was Mr. Commissary-General Fielder, who had served under the Duke of Wellington, and in whore the greatest confidence had ever been placed by his distinguished chief. So far, therefore, from the system of the Duke of Wellington having been upset, that system had been, as he had shown, maintained in full vigour. " But," said the hon. member for Aylesbury, " you Kent out last autumn to Turkey a gentleman connected with the commissariat for the purposoof procuring information, and all that he has done has been to write an essay on the tuauners and customs of the inhabitants of that co un try." Now, the observations of the honourable gentleman tended to induce the house to believe that the pamphlet which had been written by the gentleman in question treated of every subject rather than that with re spect to which it was desirable that information should be procured. He (Mr. S. Herbert) should, however, merely quote, in reply to the statement of thehon. member som e of the marginal heads, indicating the subject matter contained were in e s several „pasraugprpaly of food,"phsoft Price the pamphlet. ceof sheep," " thef ollows :_ Where to be found," " What are the best means of " What weight upon an ass," Sec.

But the hon. member bad furthe r said, "You sen t ou t on ly one man for the purpose of procuring the necessary information." His (Mr. S. Herbert s) answer to that statement was , that eight or nine persons had been sent with th a t v i ew, and that one gentl eman had been ordered t o put himself in commun i ce tion with Mr. Cal vert, th e very individual who was best fitte d to give such o inform a ti on as might be required. The lion. me mber ha d made tho se statements, relying upon the truth of letter s which h e had received f rom p er sons who in many instances werein werenot believed themselves to upon perteil th e rumours which reached them, and whose asser tions they were made ,by individu a l s res i ding in the country where the circum becor ther correct s , po b t e , ea but who who merely re - I stances narrated in those letters were supposed to have Occurred.- He Should give an instance in corroboration of the accuracy of his opinion upon that subject. It bad been stated by a gentleman connected with the Ordnance D e - I partment, who had taken occasion to cast blame - upon the cowl tnt of that department, that we had sent out a largo number of 6-pounders. lint, with the exception of the case of the Horse Artillery, would the house believe that no such thin ,, ' as a 6-pounder had been sent out at all ; upon the contrary, 9-pounders only had been transmitted to the seat of war. He maintained, therefore, that we should be extremely careful before we agreed to accept statements coming from abroad as positively correct. The hon. member for Aylesbury had also referred to the medical department ; but he (Mr. S. Herbert) must say, that if that and the commissariat depart ment were so greatly neglected as they were repre sented to be, he was at a loss to account for the extremely good health which prevailed among the troops in the East. Taking the whole of toe army into account, there were in hospital bat four per cent. out of the number, and out of that 4 per cent. nearly one-third were under treatment for diseases which could nut be said to have been contracted in consequence of any deficiency in the commissariat arrangement, but to which men were as liable in the streets of London as iu the field. At the pre sent moment, in short, the health of our troops at Varna was quite as good as the health of the army in any part of England. (Hear, hear.) There were, however, he might observe, certain situations in which troops ~.ight be placed, in which no care or providence, no matter how great, could keep them in good health. The hon. member for Aylesbury had, among other things, contrasted the arrange ments made for the comfort and efficiency of our troops with those which 41 been made upon the part of the French Government with reference to their army. Now, there could be no doubt that those two great armies, both of them equipped in the best possible manner, must have much to learn one from the other—(hear, hoary —nor could he state that no fault had been committed in fitting out our troops. He was not such a pedant as to suppose that, in a case in which the greatest expedition was necessary, everything had been done in the most perfect manner. (Hear, hear.) Sir W. Napier —a great authority upon such matters—had observed that mistakes upon such occa sions were the rule, and not the exception. He might, however, state with reference to the subject, that every effort had been used to fit out our troops in the best man mer possible, and that the arrangements connected with our expedition to the East might be favourably contrasted with those of any similar movement. He should, with the permission of the house, read a letter from one of the very ablest paymasters in the service, which was dated the 19th of Juue, 1851., The writer, in alluding to the English and French, expressed himself as follows : " I am happy to say that a most excellent feeling exists. Our army is well fed, and there is not the shadow of a complaint; the supplies sent out by the Government hate been a great boon and are hi g hly a p prec i a t e d ; th e y are all good of their kind, and, as Lord Raglan has most judi ciou-ly put the issue under regimental arrangements, the moat perfect confidence and satisfaction has been the result of the arrangements. Had it been through other channels, the regimental authorities would not have been so inte rested in the goons working of the system, and the men are, moreover, more satisfied to be dealt with regimentally ; the co.nplaint can be rem:died, if there should b e one, w ith ou t I going iur.her—indeed, all works well." He should also r ad other leWrs from persons, who, in consequence of the positions whi c h th ey occup i e d in the army, had the best means of becoming acquainted with the events which were taking place. One of our officers wrote to the following effect : "No one can believe, who has not seen it, of what value Chobham encampment has proved to the troops. I am quite sure the health of the troops is in a great degree owing to the knowledge, now beco..ning general, of a good system of encamping. Osman Pacha, a most intelligent man, with whom we communicate on all the quartering of the army in and near Scutari, has frequently told us he could not conceive why we had so little illness, and that no Turks could have remained on the Scutari Hill so long in camp with impunity. We can only answer him that he should see the care and attention of our officers, and the ad vantage of our white cap covers over the senseless fez which his people persist in wearing on their heads, with no pro tection for the eyes or back of the head, and he would learn the true cause of the difference between us. General Furey called here yesterday to see the barracks, the 95th happened to be parading in their fatigue frocks, which he much admired. I asked --- to wheel them into line, and it ended in General Forey being so pleased that he asked for two or three movements, which the regiment executed admirably. lam always glad they should see what our interior really is, and how little we do for show." He should trouble the house with only one other letter, whioh had beon written by a man whose character must .ecure for his words a respectful consideration. In refer ring to the opinions which the French officers had formed of our troops, the manner in which they were equipped, encemped, and fel, the writer said— " Seeing UM abuse that i 1 lavished upon every branch of the British army, and that we are told all day long that the arrangements and equipments of the French army are in every way superior, 1 was surprised to findthat we were viewed in a , different light by officers of experience in another service, and that justice which is denied to us by many of our own countrymen is really conceded to us by foreigners." He had goneinto those details, being of opinion that he was in no small degree responsible for the manner in which our troops had been equipped, and he felt assured that the house would extend to him its pardon for having entered at such length into topics which were not immediately con• nected with the question under their notice. (Cheers.) Passing from these details, he wished to know whether it was true —as had been asserted by the hon. member for the West Riding and by the noble lord who had j net spoken that, although a powerful armament had been sent to the East, yet that no great results had thereby been up to the present moment achieved, and that our armies had won no laurels? War had been declared upon the 29th of March, and the noble lord seemed to be astonished that Russia had not been " crumpled up" in the four months which had since elapsed.. That consummation had not been attained ; but was it right to say that nothing whatever had during those four months been effected ? An hon. gentleman stated last night that a great number of accidents had taken place in connection with the expedition to the East, and that we had succeeded in monopolising more than our share of those accidents. Our troops have certainly been subjected to casualties in the course of the operations which in the north and south of Europe we have been em ployed in carrying out. The Tiger had been lost—a vessel had been destroyed by fire as she was conveying a portion of the soldiers of the 6th Dragoons to the East ; and in alluding to that loss he might be permitted to say, that however long might be the duration of the war—however brilliant the actions which in its progress might take place —no man's name would be more honoured by Englishmen than that of the gallant officer, who, with none of the glorious excitement of the battle-field to excite him to the performance of heroic deeds, faced in cold blood death in its most frightful shape in order to save the lives of those whom he commanded, and who, notwithstanding the soli citations of his own soldiers, refused to leave the sinking ship while one living soul remained on board her to receive his generous aid. (Loud cheers.) It was also true that grievous casualties had occurred in the Baltic—that a boat's crew had been sacrificed in the endeavour to cut out from beneath the enemy's batteries the enemy's ships. If, however, such events as those were subjects for regret, we should bear in mind the spirit and the gallantry which they had evoked. (Cheers.) If it were true that the cou rage of our seamen amounted almost to foolhardiness we should not forget that the great renown of the British navy had been acquired by a series of exploits such as those to which he had just been adverting; and, instead of giving way to useless regrets, weshould rejoice that that spirit, whose manifestation had raised this country to the summit of fame as a naval power, still continued to exist, brilliant and unchangeable. (Renewed cheering.) But in answer to the statement that no practical result had as yet been brought about by British arms in the present con test, ho would ask, was it nothing to have established in four months is complete, an effectu a l, and an irresi s tibl e blockade of the enemy's ports? Th ose gen tl emen who spoke the upongh l t i l f y etim e that h the e subject gallant Nelson seemed to hadforget been passed one halfs ed s in maintaining a blockade. (H ear , h ear. ) I f the country expected that we ought t o h ear a t once o f vic tory following victory over an enemy who dared not m eet our fIeAR, why, then, the country expected the performance of impossibilities from those gallant sea men who hail already demonstrated that want of courage or want of enterprise formed no part of the reason why these requite hee, up p to the present moment, not been attained. (Cheers.) But has nothing else except the institution of a blockade been effected in the Black Sea ? How many pounds sterling, he would ask, had been spent by Russia during the last quarter of a century in erecting along the shores of Circassia those forts which constituted the chains by which she had kept the Cir cassian' in thraldom? All these forts had fallen into our hands. Mr. LAYARD—They were abandoned by Russia. Mr. S. HERBERT continued—The hon. member did not seem satisfied with the fact that we had it all our own wa y. (A laugh.) It was said that the people of England liked to hear of a good battle, and of the sacrifice to a vast extent of human life. That, however, was not, he be lieved, the general feeling of the English people, and he felt assured that they rejoiced to find that these fortresses on the coast of Circassia had fallen into our hands without the loss of a single man, with an account of whose fall the pages of the Gazette might be adorned. But bad nothing more been effected? The noble lord the member for Marylebone had stated that the Turks had manifested the greatest c,)urage and fortitude anti skill in the present cent3st, but 4 was a matter of astonishment to all Europe net armies s 3 small es theirs had not only maintained their position, but achieved great successes against overwhelming numbers. Such was the fact; but bad that result been attained solely and entirely by the forces of Turkey ? Had the Russian armies no enemies but the soldiers of the Sultn.n to encounter? Was it nothing to have wrested from the Russians those means of communication by which they were enabled to supply the troops with provisions? Had the closing up of the Black Sea no share in producing results so favourable to Turkey ? Ho was not aware whether the noble lord had studied the history of the present campaign, or _whether he had observed the manner in which its operations had been carried out? At the present moment .the Dantabe, Sebastopol, end, in fact, the whole coast of Russia on the Black Sea eves blockaded. No provisions, no ammunition could be conveyed to her armies save by . land across the full extent of Bessarabia ; and he had been informed that when provisions were being transported by land for the Russian troops, the air became tainted by the ' putridity, in consequence, no doubt, of the length of time occupi e d i n transmitting them to-their destination. The Russian Government had been compelled to resort, in order to provision their army, to the use of small carts drawn by bulleeks in a country where the roads were extremely bad, and where the distance to be traversed was so great that by the time the carts arrived at the camp the bullocks themselves had consumed nearly all tho grain, and were reduced to a condition so lean as to render them unfit for human food. Now these, he would venture to say, were no trifling results, although they might partake of tone of that brilliancy by which some hon. members. wished all our movements to be characterised. (Hear.) But he should likewise say that Englishmen might china some share in the defence of Silistria through that young man (hear, hear) —Captain Butler, or Major Butler, as he should like to call him, although he had never heard of his promotion, or of his having been placed by her Majesty in the Guards. (Hear, hear.) He said that young Irishman — (hea.r,hear)—displayed during that siege qualities which marked him out for certain eminence—not merely dogged courage, but likewise a remarkable power of command. He, a stranger, accompanied by another young officer,, having gone to a strange town, although not speaking the Turkish language, hail by his energy and determination so imposed on the men by whom he hail been surrounded, that, in point of fact, he had almost had the command of, that garrison. It was by the pertinacity and energy with which he had pressed his councils on them, that the sur render of the external forts, v hick formed the keys of S ilistria, he'd been prevented, and that that glorious sue cess had boon accomplished. (Cheers.) The noble lord , said that h e h a d no confidence in the Government. We, (continued Mr. Herbert) meet him fairly upon that issue. ' (Hear. We are called a ministry on sufferance ; and it is true that, feeling the deep responsibility which lay on us, and the necessity after having entered on this war of put ting the country in a position, financially and strategati i i - cally, which should enable it to urge the war with success, we felt, unsupported as we were by the house ou domestic measures, that it was our duty to continue to hold the reins of office. We have been met by contumely and in sult, but it is for the House of Commons to decide this question. If the house does not choose to have a govern ment on sufferance, and if we do not choose to be a govern ment on sufferance, let the house manfully and explicitly declare its opinions upon that head. We are prepared to abide, as we do abide with confidence, on the decision to which they might come. (The right hon. gentleman re sumed his seat amidst considerable cheering.) Mr. LA.YA.RD insisted that the construction put by the house upon the words of Lord John Russell, on the pre vious evening, with respect to the menacing position of Sebastopol, was the correct one. The general itapresion was that nothing short of the destruction of that fortress would be satisfactory to the Government; but when the noble lord came to explain his meaning it appeared that all that was meant was that Russia was not to be allowed to have so large a fleet at Sebastopol. The object of Aug tria was clearly to drive Russia from the principalities, and nothing more, and it was much to be feared that in that policy England would become entangled. It was a great error to count upon the alliance of Austria at all ; but looking at home he had great confidence in Lord John Russell, but none whatever in the Earl of Aberdeen. Mr. WILKINSON contended for the identity of the two statements of Lord John Russell. Colonel DUNNE deprecated the delays which had taken place in the advance of the allied armies. Admiral BERKELEY repelled the charge of unneces sary delay, and denied that the Government had at all tied up the hands of Admiral Napier in the Baltic. The fact that nothing great had been as yet attempted was to be attributed to the formidable nature of the fortifications. Mr. F. SCULLY defended the Earl of Aberdeen and the Government. Sir J. SHELLEY said that a strong feeling of distrust pervaded the country with respect to the Eull of Aber deen, and he could only view the amendment as a vote of want of confidence in the noble earl. While supporting the amundment, he did not moan to imply a want of con fidence in the other .members of the Government, for he believed many ot them were most anxious to carry the war to an advantageous result. Sir J. WALSh opposed the amendment. Mr. M. MILNES also opposed the amendment, but ex essed his belief that her Majesty's Ministers would see the propriety of calling Parliament togethet again at a very early Mr. IiILDYARD deprecated a statement made by Admiral Berkeley, to the effect that Cronstadt was im pregnable, as calculated to produce most pernicicus effects throughout Europe. Admiral BERKELEY said he had received private letters from officers in the Baltic to the effect that Cron stadt could not be taken ; but the French Government were sending out reinforcements, and whatever could be done by gallant men would be done, he had no doubt, in the Baltic. Colonel BLAIR said he would support the amendment, not so much as a vote of want of confidence in the Govern ment, as of a declaration of the necessity of having an autumnal session of Parliament. Mr. PETO had no hesitation as to the course he should pursue on the vote before the house. If the fleet had been placed in a position of jeopardy the house might have shown a want of confidence in the Government. But no thing of the kind had been done in the Baltic or the Black Sea. Few persons could be aware of the difficulties that beset the Government. He (Mr. Pete) had always found when he had his people ready half his work was done. Four months had elapsed, and nothing had occurred to shake the confidence of the country in the Government, or in the conduct of the war. To tie the hands of the Go vernment, however, was a want of confidence, which they could not tolerate for a single moment. The course pur sued in that house was mischievous to the country, as well as unjust to the Government ; for it compelled them to disclosures which, perhaps, ought not to be made, in their own justification H e b e li eve d th a t it was nothing, but a high sense of moral duty which had kept the Govern ment in their position, under the continued impatience of certain supporters of theirs, whom it was his (Mr. Peto's) only sorrow to find still sitting on the same side of the house with himself. (Oh, and laughter.) If there were to be opposition, and a vote of want of confidence from gentlemen opposite, he could perfec,ly understand it. It was quite fair and right. When the right lion. member for Buckinghamshire (Mr. Disraeli) g it up in his place and attacked the ministry—as he always did—fairly, openly, aid manly, he could well' understand that; but when a noble lord, sitting on the ministerial side of the house, profeKing to be a,supperter of the Government, and ut tering all manner' of philanthropic sentiment with regard to nationalities, resorted to the language of attack, I.e must say that the uoole lord showed little acquaintance with the real feelings of the country, which, in his (Mr. Peto's) opinion were decidedly in favour of leaving the conduct of the war in the hands of the Government, with the firm conviction that they would do what was right under the circumstances. (Hear, hear.) Lot the noble lord at once avow that he was no longer a supporter of the Government, and had no farther confidence in them (Hear.) That was a course of policy he could understand, nd so would the country, which had given the ministry its most unreserved confidence, in the belief that they would carry the war to a successful issue. (Divide, divide.) Lord J. RUSSELL—There are but few things which I find it necessary to say in this stage of the debate. I will not certainly accept the invitation of my hon. friend the member for Aylesbury (Mr. Layard) that I should make over again the speech I made last night. I certainly do not think it necessary to give any further explanation of the statement I then made. (Hear.) I have seen this morning the reports of what I then stated. Those which I have seen appear to me to be accurate, and I am quite willing to abide by that . statement. (Hear, hear.) The hon. member for the West Riding (Mr. Cobden) following an ather hon. gentleman who said that the object of the war was the dismemberment of Russia, proclaimed last night that our objects were the destruction of Sebastopol, the conquest of the Crimea, and, I think, the transference of the Crimea to some other power. Such was the inference the hon. gentleman drew from what I said; but it was a perfectly gratuitous inference, and the statement which I made did not bear out that construction. But we have, in fact, every kind of opponent to deal with ; some who tell us that it is wrong to go to war for the dismemberment of Russia, and others who tell us that we are not seriously at war, and that we are unwilling to do any great injury to Russia. In this state of affairs, with expressions rife of various kinds, I certainly thought it was due to the House of Commons, nowalmost upon the eve of prorogation, that I should enter more than is usually done into the question of the objects of the war, and into the present state of our foreign relations. I did so as fully as it was possible for me to do so—(hear, hear)—and I am willing to bear the consequences, if I made that statement with too little re serval. to the country. I b e li eve th a t i n carry i ng on a war in which the feelings of this country are engaged, it is not imprudent to state to the country at large what are the general objects that we have in view, and what is the na tional purpose that we hope to attain. My hon. friend the member for Aylesbury says he wishes there was some statesman who could take a statesman-like view of the ob jects of the war, and that would take that view which a statesman alone can take of the importance of the object and the magnitude of the contest. W e ll, if we w h o belong to the Ministry are entirely benighted in this respect; if, in all the debates which have occurred, we have never pro perly expressed why wo went to war, and what should be our objects in going t o war , I was in hopes that the hon. gentleman, who is so much more enlightened, and who has calculated the interests of all the powers in Europe, would have told us what these objects should be, and in what way 1 we were to carry on this contest. But he has not, am sorry to say, so enlightened us upon the subject. It appears to me, indeed, that the case might be generally stated in very simple language, and without any very great profundity of view. (Hear.) The Sultan of Turkey is attacked by the Emperor of Russia. Is he unjustly attacked? Yes ; ho is unjustly attacked. Have we any interest in defending him 9 Yes, we have an interest in defending him. (H ear h ea r.) And there, as it appears to me, is the very simple, plain case upon which the minds of tae people o f thi s cou ntry are satisfied, without those profound calculations and those mysterious views which my hon. friend has in his own breast, but which he so carefully conceals from us who are his inferiors, no doubt, in experience and under standing. (Ministerial cheers, and laughter.) Then, nith regard to the conduct of the war, in stating the reasons for taking this vote, I refrained purp os ly f rom entering into any dfence against those generally anonymous accusations which have been made ag dust that department of the Go. vernment which sent out our fleet and army, and those who are in command of that fleet. No such accusations hail been made in this house, and I thought it not unbecoming my position to wait and see if any such would be made. I am sorry to say that some of those unfounded accusations have been repeated here. But my right hon. fliers(' the Secretary at War (Mr. S. Herbert) has furnished so ample an explanation upon that subject that it is quite unneces sary for me to add one word respecting it. We all knew —at least we ought to have known—that one hon. gentle man, the bon member for Surrey, hinted out to us, if we had not found it out for ourselves, that this is a war not similar to many wars in which we have beers engaged. Had Sir Charles Napier, for instance, instead of having to encounter dangerous shoals, granite built forts, !inflow channels, and continual fogs, gone to distant seas, I have no doubt that before this time a whole archipelago of islands would have yielded ,to his flag. But we have in this case a sort of rhinocerous to attack, and it is not a very easy thing to penetrate the hide of such an animal. ( [Tear.) With regard to the Black Sea, it is an inconsider able advantage that those forts which Russia has for many years been constructing, v, ith the view of maintaining and extending her power i u th e countries bordering upon that sea, have been yielded without a blow being struck by the Emperor, who, whatever others may have felt has himself confes ed that the inferiority of his forces in the Black Sea was a reason why there should be an armistice on its shores. There is one other topic which has been dwelt upon both last night and to night, respecting which I think it is absolutely necessary I should address a few words to the house. Some hon. members have singled out the noble earl at the head of the Administration, and have made him the peculiar object of their attacks. Now, what ever may be the constitutional nature of this motion—and I do not deny that, as a motion of want of confidence, it is constitutional—yet there is nothing constitutional in the attempt to separate the Cabinet from the noble earl who is at its head, and to make him alone responsible for that in respect to which all his colleagues must share his re sponsibility. With regard to the g eneral measures of the Government, those measures have been considered step by step by those advisers of her Majesty who are usually called tile Cabinet, and when decisions have been adopted all the colleagues of Lord Aberdeen are alike responsible to this house and to the country with that noble lord. (Hear.) With regard again t o p ar ti cu l ar d e partments—with regard to the Minister of War, and with regard to the First Lord of the Admiralty —who aro deeply charged with the con duct of this war—l am sure lam satisfid in saying that there is no measure which they have opposed, in order to impart greater vigour to the operations of war, and thus ensure the success of that war, which my noble friend at the head of the Government has not zealously encouraged and supported in the Cabinet. (Cheers.) That my noble friend for a long time beloved in the possibility of main taining peace, and wished to avert the calamity of war, is, I think, a reproach which ho can very well be:ar ; but with regard to any delay that took place, or th et has been charged to have taken place, in commencing that war, those who acted with Lord Aberdeen as his colleagues are alike chargeable with him for such delay. Let Ilse remark, however, that that which was for souse time the great sub ject of attack namely, that when the Pruth was passel by the Russians we did not at once advise her Maj es t y t o declare war , or t o t a k e suc h steps as would show that we were determined to encounter the risk of hostilities--that WEDNESDAY - MENING, J ILLY 26, 1854. that event occurred when Parliament was sitting, and could first div. of is. 5/d. any Wednesdayup to Aug. 3, at Lee's, heite interfered to give its advice to the Crown, and that M• orgate-street. the more vigorous measures of sending the fleet first to the George Havelock and Matthew Benjamin Robson, Bosphorus, and aftewards into the Black Sea were taken Monkwearmouth, Durham, ship builder, first div. of Is. when Parliament was not sitting, and during the recess. , July 29, and any subsequ e nt S a turd a y, a t B a ker's, New (Ministerial cheering.) I do not, however, wish to ad- ! castle-upon-Tyne. dress myself to the particular words of the motion ; I wish ' merely to state that the Government do consider them selves responsible for the conduct of this war, with regard to all its operations ; and that they consider themselves responsible for accepting or refusing any terms of peace that may be offered them. (Hear, hear.) I have already stated enough, I think, to show that we should look for guarantees and for security in the event of any such terms being proposed. But reverting to that which has been stated in order to make comparisons between different members of the Government, we were told last night that there was a great difference between the language which I held in this house and that which was held in another place. With regard to what I stated in this house, I can only say that I stated as ninca- as I thought it necessary to state, in order to justify iner,in asking for a large vote of mt.ttey from this hotre, whose peculiar function it is to make grants of money, and to impose, if necessary, burdens upon the people... What..the other House of Parliament had to be asked was, to give an assurance that they would cheerfully support her Majesty in any measures which were indispensable for carrying on the war; and I think it was perfectly judicious on the part of the noble earl who had to ask for that support, to content himself with merely making the statement which was requisite for the purpose he had in view (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Ido not think therefore, that it is either convitut'onal or generous to draw in this house distinctions between different mem bers of the Government, and to hold up certain members of die administration to a kind of suspicion with regard to their public conduct, while others are not to be rendered liable to the same odium or to the same suspicion. (Ironi cal cheers.) If, then, the house is not satisfied with the administration, let it vote the terms of this address, which watild serve the purpose as well as any other, though they tire not very appropriate to the occasion, because it so hap pens th t they have generally been moved in cases where the minister has thought it his duty to refrain from giving information as to the state of our foreign relations, and as to the general prospects of a war. Everything that can be stated has been stated on this occasion in order to give information to Parliament; and, therefore, the noble lord (Lord D. Stuart) has done what a great histo rian says is one of the most common, but one of the roost grievous of errors—namely, taking a precedent which was tit for another occasion, and applying it to an occassion for which it is not fit. (Hear.) However, as I have already stated, for I do not wish to prolong this ad dress, the house has now to say whether it will confide to us the disposition of these 3,000,0001.; whether it will con fide to us the discretion of advising her Majesty to call Parliament together in case it should be necessary, or to refrain from calling Parliament together if in their judg ment the public welfare does not require it. If we are fit to be Ministers of the Crown, we are fit to have that dis cretion. (Hear.) If we are not fit to have that discretion, on the other hand, we are no longer fit to remain Ministers of the Crown. (Hear.) The noble lord the member for Marylebone has chosen, I do not exactly know why, to bring the matter to this issue, and I shall abide by the decision of the house. (Divide, divide.) Lord D. STUART, in explanation, said the first naval lord (Admiral Berkeley) had with some indignation repre sented him as stating that the fleets of this country had been sent forth in a condition that was not fit for ac tion. If he (Lord D. Stuart) had said anything of the sort it was far from his intention to do so. What he meant to say, at all events, was, that he believed the fleets were sent forth in a state of efficiency such as enabled them to meet any fleets in the world, and give an excel lent account of them, but that they were not fit for the particular service in which they were employed, and for which vessels of lighter draught of water and mortars for bombarding land fortifications were most required. In conclusion, the noble lord intimate 1 that he was sa tisfied with the declarations which had been made to the house on the part of the Government, and particularly with the statement of the first naval lord. He would, therefore, ask leave to withdraw his motion. (Cries of oh, no, and divide, from all parts of the house.) Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the report was brought up and agreed to. The Bankruptcy Bill was read a second time. CINQUE PORTS BILL. Mr. DEEDES did not mean to oppose the second read ing, but objected to the clause which placed the compensa tion to the officers of the Lord Warden on the county rates. DIVIDENDS. Aug. 15, J.
