Wilkin son in the chair, for the purpose of considering a bill now before Parliament, entitled " A bill to enable the Metropoli tan Railway ec,,,n_an_ p yto extend their railway from Fins bury-circus to Trinity -square Tower-hill, and for other purposes." Air. B orchelt, the solicitor, having read the heads of the b ill, the chairman said he trusted the meeting would sanction the bill now before it, for he believid no body a more favourableof shar e h o l ders were ever placed in po orsition than th ey were by the ar rangements the directs had entered into. F our gee - Cameo o f wea l t h and rail way experience h a d undertaken a ll the risk of the pro inn eith er to keg) the wh o l e o posed line, and were will s ' l areholders o f tho Metropolitan to tak e up any quantity of the cap i tal they thought proper, They therefore ran no risk, while they had the option of sharing in the prosperity. They would incur no responsibility from the extension ; the capital and receipts would be kept separate, and their dividends would not be injuriously affected, n o moving tho adoption matter how of © branches paid. He concluded by of the bill. Mr Austin seconded the resolution, whi c h, after ti oit e discussion and opposition from Mr idge, th e Ill ers, and oth ers llsrt r , was agreed to. A vote of thanks " he clialman concluded the proccediugs, to CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Discount Market to-day has presented a quiescent appearance, and the rates have continued to range fully per cent, below the minimum of the Bank of England. It is generally thought that aff'zirs next week will beconao much easier, owing to the payment of the dividends and the moderate demand for accommodation. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. About 25,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for transmission to the Brazils. Since Alcniay last the imports of specie have amounted to £403,29D, and the exports to £433,579. TWO O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes wore 66f. 05c. Opening flat. Early in the day the Funds improved 1 per cent, t but this led to sales, and vary unfavourable views were expressed with regard to the proceedings in Parliament and the prospect of a continuance, at least for a time, of an unsatisfactory foreign policy. All the markets have closed with a gloomy aspect, and Consols, after being 901'1 for money and 90a for account, are now only 901 a and 901 a respec tively. That for the plentiful supplies of floating capital, and other encouraging circumstances, specu lators would no doubt be inclined to operate for a fall.

THE WOMAN WHO ROBS THE POOR —Mary Ann S miry, a vulgar and dissipated woman, aged 23, and lately dwell ing at 4, Sun and Sawyer's-court, Poplar, was brought be fore Mr. Paget, charged with stealing two pairs of boots from the apartment of a poor woman named Mary Magrath, of Vail •passage, Broad-street, Ratcliff, and one pair of boots from the room of another poor woman named Ann Rally, in the same lccality. The prisoner was described by George Pullin, No. 10 K, as a very mischievous thief, who prowled about very poor neighbourhoods early in the morning, and sneaked into rooms, carrying off anything she could lay her hands on The value of the property was trifling, but a serious loss to. the poor creatures she had robbed. On the morning of the 21st of June, the dwellings of the parties abovenamed were, entered, and the boots stolen. In one case the boots stolen were worth 35., and the woman said her child had only worn them one day, the previous Sunday, and her poor husband was a coal whipper, ashore labour was hard and earnings scanty. In the other case two pairs of children's boots were stolen, and they had been under the necessity of going without since. Pullen found the three pairs of boots at a pawnbroker's shop. The prisoner had raised money on them and spent it on gin and beer. Her love for strong drinks was proverbial, and she was known by the inelegant cognomen of "Lushy Poll." She was seen in the imme ciate vicinity of the two places the boots were stolen from on the morning of the 21st of June. The prisoner, in a whining tone, said, " Pray he merciful, sir, I am a poor lone woman, I am guilty." Mr Paget said the prisoner deserved no mercy at all. She had committed very cruel robberies—both robberies were very heartless and cruel. He sentenced her to be impri soned for six months' in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour. LUCKY FELLOWS—St VISIT TO THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS or WALES.—Three well known and active thieves named Thomas Jones, aged 23, Henry Archer, 17, and John Webb, 19, were brought up on remand before Mr Paget, charged with felony. _ _ On Monday afternoon last, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of the London Hospital, the prisoners were at tne corner of the New-road and Whitechahel•road, and were busy at work among the pockets of the well dressed. A very respectable and intelligent woman, named Mary Ann Smith, the wife of William Smith, a butcher, saw the prisoners dive unsuccessfully into the pockets of several persons. At last two of them stood in front of a lady while Archer put his hand into her pocket and drew something out, which he at once handed to Jones. A rush, a push and a shout was the next ruse of the three thieves, who were closely watched by Mrs. Smith. She gave information to the police, and the prisoners were taken into custody. They made a desperate resistance, and' kicked and plunged violently. The constables on duty under Superintendent Howie, of the K divisioa, were too numerous and active to allow such villains to escape, and they were soon locked up. Joseph Skeats, No, 428 IC, said each prisoner had a hole in his lett.hand coat pocket, through which they " worked " under cover. He had been unable to find the lady who was robbed. John Clark, 491 K, said that Jones was committed for trial s)me time ago for felony, convicted and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. Jones—That's a lie, I can prove it to be false. It's a regular lie, I was only paying a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales on Monday last. Mr Paget had no doubt the prisoners ban robbed a lady, but as she was not forthcoming, the prisoners must be dis charged. The prisoners (una voce)—.•lVe are lucky fellows. Good morning. DINING HALLS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.— The following noblemen and gentlemen have be come patrons of the association just formed, for the purpose of establishing cheap dining depots (on the plan of the Surrey Cooking Depot), throughout the metropolis :—The Right Hon. the Lord Brougham and Vali; the Right Hon. the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Lord Lyttleton, F,R.S., Lord Stanley, M.P,, Sir John Villiers Shelley, Bart., M.P., Mr Alderman Waterlow, W. Blanchard Jerrold, Esq., George Godwin, Esq., W. Hawes, Esq., Chairman of the Council of the Society of Arts. AN EXTRAORDINARY WILL.—A curious family lawsuit has just been settled at Paris. One Senor Jose Joachim da Gama Machado, gentleman of.the bed chamber to the King of Portugal, and an attorney in wait ing to the Portuguese Embassy, finding himself about to die, made a will, and then was so long before he really " gave up the ghost" that he added 71 codicils to the ori ginal instrument. Having signed the 71st, he reall did die he the summer of 1861, and from then till now his estate has been food for lawyers. Many of the codicils were strange, For instance :—" I leave to the Atha mum of Paris 10,000 f., the interest of which at 5 per ccnt. will be 500 f, Half of this interest to be paid to a professor of natural history, who shall lec'_ure on the influence of colours and patterns of dress son the character of animals," Again :—" iily funeral shall take place at three p.m, the hour when the rootes of the Louvre come home to dinner." The Portuguese attaché was devoted to tame birds, and he desired that many stuffed specimens should be placed in his coffin—that his servant should carry to the ceremony "one of my favourite birds in his cage"— that certain birds should be let loose in the Bois de Boulogne on the day of his funeral ; also that his horses should follow the procession, but not draw any carriage. There was another droll codicil :—" May 26, 1859,—8ad weather, and I can't get out; so I will do a little good. I leave M. de Chevalier 10,000 f and I increase the annual pension of my servants I,ooof a head." Senor Machado had during his life erected his own tomb, on which were engraved a sun, a bird, an ox, a dog, an egg " proper" sur mounting them. Beneath was inscribed, " Here reposes the author of the ' Theory of Likeness.' " This was one of his crotchets. "He was born a stammerer and short sighted, and he died blind. Passer-by, admire the bounty of nature," The heir-at-law disputed the validity of the will, but the law has decided that the deceased was only vain, not insane, and therefore had a right to will away his own property, which it was proved he had managed with excessive caution during his life. THE ALLEGED MASSACRE OF FOUR HUNDRED SWEDES IN ALSEN.—dome of the journals re cently mentioned that among the prisoners made on the island of Alsen were 400 Swedes who were all put to death. The statement is now contradicted : " There are, indeed, among the prisoners," says a Berlin letter, " some soldiers who have not taken oath to King Christian IX., and some officers who could not produce a Danish commission; but the Prussian authorities have thus far not applied military law to them." Prince Frederick Charley has announced in an order of the day of the 3d, that in future in such cases the soldiers will he tried by a military court,—Galignan.;, At the first meeting of the present e:" 0 11 of the Society of Arts since their election, Mr. la; illiam forchairman the current year. D Tri mor F r lt is ? M a L ii iv YDP:,,pnouLt._ On Thursday Thomas ydo E p A hobi% Abor. erpool dock gat eman , di ed from h six months ago a police °filen re pr'dodle dog from th e C ann i ng graving dock, a le n a d sed too a k lit i t t le co the gateman's hut. Shortly afterwards Morris w ent into the hut, and was patting the the dog on the h'Jad when it growled and snapped at him, biting him el i .ghtly on the hand. He thought no more of the matter, and continued at his work until Tuesdey last, when his arm began to swell. The usual symptoms soon came on, and though Morris had the attendance of several eminent medical men he died on, Thursday morning, after suffer ing great agony. A Russiaramerehant, M. Sidorow, who has ac quired an enormous fortune et Siberia, has given the sum of 120,000 roubles and the produce of a vast aurie ferous territory towards the foundation of a university at Tobolek. A Russian journal which seemed to throw some doubts upon the realisation of his scheme only produced the effect of making him send another sum of 20,000 roubles and wo huge gold nuggets to the government towards the ftertherance of the plan. There is no reason why, with this enormous sum and the 50,000 roubles contributed for the same object by M. Demidoff in ISO 3 (a sum which, un touched since, has now increased to 75,000 roubles), a Tobolsk university should not in reality be founded soon. —The Reader. CLEVLRSPIDERS.--Spiders can do more than they have yet received credit for. An observer, of whose ace,nraey no ono who knows him will entertain a doubt, cold me that he once saw a garden spider busy stretching his line from one shrub or bush to another. The wind being rather strong, the line oscillated more than the spider ap proved, and he accordingly steadied it to the ground by threads which he attached between it and small pebbles lying beneath it on the earth. This looks very like the ssgacity and shiftiness which, in man, is called intelligence. The tent of Clotho Durandii deserves special mention among the specimens ceemplifying the ingenuity of spiders. This tent is formed at first of two sheets of the finest taffeta, to which the spider adds additional coverings when hatch ing her eggs. The outside sheet is soiled to conceal 01.; tent; the inside is white, clean, downy, and warm. When compelled to leave her tent in search of food, the spider fastens the outside sheets with fastenings of which she alone possesses the seeret.—.Diekens's "411 the Tear Round.": GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY MEETING.—The ad journed meeting of the proprietors io consider the remaining bills before Parliament, was held yesterday, Mr Goodson in the chair.

THE BOMBAY MAIL, By the arrival of the BlrnbaY mail we hav e ! papers from Bombay to June 8, and MEI c4loutta to May 31. The following is from the Mazes of India : "The headquarters of the Bombay Government and army are still at Mahableshwur. The Viceroy and Governor-General is at Simla. "The resignation of the chief command of the army by Sir Hugh Rose, and the appointment of Sir William Mansfield as hi s succe ssor, are stated as coming events near at hand. " Affghanistan is now plunged into civil war. Auzim Khan has lost his game. Almost the whole of his force deserted him on the eve of an engage ment with the Ameer'n troops under Ruffeeh Khan, completely routed tho remainder of his force. The A meer has marched on Balkh to attack Afzul Khan, with every prospect of success. " An eastern frontier brigade has been formed, comprising such troops as may be stationed in Assam, the Cossyal:, and Jynteah Hills, and Sylhet ; and the Bhootiahs, and other eastern frontier peoples and tribes, are henchf or th t o b e d ea lt w i t h as the Puojaub Governm en t, by m eans of th e Pun j Force, deals with the Euzufzyes, :111°bialuFil tract diesl'dan and similar tribes. " The of land situated at the foot of the Bhootan Hills, called Ambarree Fallacootah, is to be immediately annexed to the British territories. The sum of 10,000 ra , hitherto paid as a subsidy to the Bhootiahs on the frontier of Assam, has been ordered to be discontinued. The Bliootiahs are to bi hemmed in by posts established along our fron tier, the garrisons of which are to prevent supplies of any kind reaching Bhootan from British India. These measures will soon humble the Bhootiahs, as the Hill States depend on our territories for most of their supplies. "The Akhoond of Swat addressed the people of Jellalabad, urging them to declare against the Ameer of Cabul, who, although a Mussulman, had formed a friendship with Perunghees. " Shere Da Khan, ruler (usurper) of A helat, was massacred in the Hoola Pass, on May 20, by a Patan in his service.

A quarterly court of the guardians of this charity was held on Thursday at the Female Orphan Asylum, West , minster-road, for the purpose of confirming the resolution of a special committee, recommending the removal of this institution to Beddington Park. The Rev. J. Lingham, ALA., was called to the chair. The minutes of the last court were then read. The recommendation of the com mittee was to the effect that, atter having inspected several sites, they considered the most eligible to be a large man sion, with 22 acres of land, at Beddington Park, which could be purchased for £15,000. Eight acres might be re sold, leaving ample space for all the purposes of the asylum. The necessary alterations could be made, so as to accommo date 200 children, for about £O,OOO. On the motion of the Chairman, tho general minutes were confirmed. The Rev. IL Mackenzie was elected a life governor, hav ing preached the last anniversary sermon. The consideration of the report with reference to the amendment of the bye-laws was postponed for the present. The report of the special committee on the duties and salaries of the secretary was then next brought up. It stated that the salary at present paid the secretary is inadequate to the duties performed, end ought to be increased, bat inasmuch as the proposed removal of the hospital involved several alterations, the considerath n of the duties and remuneration had better be deferred until the eutj :ct of removal and its various contingencies were finally settled. The previous secretary at each triennial dinner was presented with £5O, but this had not been done during Mr. Booth's period of office, and the committee therefore recommended the payment of £2OO to Mr. Booth. This recommendation was unanimously agreed to. Mr. CLARKE then moved :—" That the Female Orphan Asylum has been established upwards of a century in the metropolis, and that the health of the inmates has been uniformly good ; that the institution—by reason not only of its intrinsic claims on sympathy, but from its obvious prominence in London_has gained largely aceutnlated funds and continuous support, which support by removal will be endangered ; and as such removal of the institu tion from observation will militate against reasonable popular control—Resolved, that any change of the site is undesirable, and should not be proceeded with, unless au thorised by the majority of the guardians." Mr. BREYER seconded the motion, which was negatived by a large majority. Mr. CURLING was then about to bring- forward his motion relative to the bye-laws, which required all the minutes and proceedin gs to be read at the quarterly court, when, at the suggesti on of several gentlemen the subject was deferred until the report on the byelaws was brought forward for consideration. A vote of thanks to the chairman brought the proceed ings to a termination, SHIPPMG_Tius DAY, LONDON, July 9.--Wind this dgy at noon—North- West; moderaze breeze and Rae weather, but u little cloudy.

At th e entrance gate to the quer st their g h , e u a n d dqeura the tars London Rifia Brigade were stationed as a guard of honou r ) and when the inspecting ki n dly told vi-, officer arrived he them that they ware a sol dierlike lot of lads, The regiment was put through the the cadet corns of usual battalion evolutions, all Which were performed with the greatest credit, the marching , wheeling, and firing being particularly good. At the conclusion of the drill, Colonel 11.1.‘Murdo briefly addressed the men respecting their own the present state efficiency. He specially dwelt upon the fact that, to render volunteers as valuable as P ossibl e) all those living in town ought to reside within a c ertain radiu s o f th e i r par ti cu l ar regiments. It was a great mistake for men belonging to the same regiments to live miles apart ; because the districts for regiments ought to bo so distributed that in case of the volunteers being suddenly required for Government they could easily oe called together. With respect to the drill of the First Surrey he could assure them that they had per fectly satisfied him. They were in an excellent condition of drill. He only wished they were more numerous. Colonel 11I'Murdo concluded by exp ress ing his wish that they would wear the "efficiency badge.. He had been told that, as the badge was of silver and their facings were of gold, there was soma difficulty felt ; but nevertheless he ad vised them to wear it. It was said that the badge was very "ugly" and therefore there was an objection to it. He, with the sanction of the SeeretatY of State for War, ap proved of its being ugly, because then it was more con spicuous, He hoped that, whether ugly or pretty, Earl de Grey and Ripon would not alter it, but insist upon all corps wearing th© same. The regiment kayo three hearty cheers for the inspecting offinr, and three for Colonel Macdonald. After the inspection the regiment took supper together in their drill-shed, their commanding officer presiding, Mr. Doulton, M.P. for Lamlnth, being also present. Co:on€1 M'Murdo was prevented from acceptin g an invitation. DEATH FROM A WAGER.—Yesterday morning, Wm. Harvey, a compositor, living in Granhy7 street, Waterloo. road, undertook, for a wager of 41, to swim across the Thames from Millbank to Lambeth within 12 minutes, and got In the water for that purpose at eight o'clock. The unfortunate man reached about 200 feet from the shore, when he gave a loud shriek and instantly sank. The party with whom he made the Wager were hastening over the bridge to meet him en the opposite shore, and could render him no assistance. The poor fellow, who, it is supposed, was seized with cramp, perished, A Plate. Baron Rothschild's Camball, Bst 61b Mr Lapidist's The Turner, Bst 61b .

Hancock, the court jeweller, of Bruton•etreet, three most exquisite race cups, each of which is to be contended for at the forthcoming meeting at Stamford. The Clifden Silver Cup, value 200 guineas, in design, is purely classical, with rich decorations in the style of the fifteenth century. The glittering work of art stands about 30 inches high, and unlike the usual racing trophy, is in fact a cup of the most splendid proportions. The front is ornamented with a fine bas relief in oxodieed silver, representing Henry IJI. rescued by his son Prince Edward at the battle of Eves ham; the handles are formed of genii mounted on grotesque dragons, and the whole is surmounted with a figure of Fame. Nothing can be more beautiful than the execution of the cup, and the fortunate winner may congratulate himself on being the possessor of one of the finest specimens of art in the precious metal ever produced. The " Stamford Cup" and the " Welter Cup" are each as elegant and tasteful as the Stewards' Cup, though, of course, of less intrinsic value. The former is a cup and cover, partly gilt, of novel form; and the latter a media3val shaped silver hitch 1, with open worked handles, from the antique, with a cover mounted by a fins group of horses. The workmanship of the whole is superb; and another circumstance for which Mr Hancock is much commended is, that in each instance he has produced a work of both utility and beauty, in oppoi ition to the senseless and useless groups generally manufactured, anti ridiculously enough denominated racing " cups." ]?UGILISM, ' --<+-- JOE COBURN AND JEST MACE.

HARVEST PROSPECTS IN SCOTLAND.--We have seldom seen the crops make so little progress at midsummer as they have done during the last ta.o weeks. The cold nights—many of them frosty IVheat is i n the uplands— have caused almost a stoppage of growt h. shoot ing slowly out, and oats and turnips have been brought nearly to a stand still. There has been wonderfully little growth of grass since the end of May, and farmer s are under the necessity of using large quantities of in-door food. The kanes must therefore again be under an average. The prospect at present is altogether most unlike what might have been anticpt e ci at Whitsunday, when there se e med much reason to hope for a boantitul s eason.

There was a very largo attendance of ladies present this evening in the galleries around the house, and the space before the throne was well filled. All the ministers were in :their seats, but that usually occupied by the Earl of Derby on the opposite aide of the house was vacant, o wing to the indisposition of the noble earl. Just as the Earl of Malmesbury ccmmencod Ms speech the Prince and Princess cf Wales entered the house. The Prince took. his [Leen& onaed seat on the cross bench, and the Princess occupied a place in the gallery on the left of the throne. THIRD READINGS.

BARBARITIES BY THE PRUSSIANS. Earl RUSSELL, in reference to a question put to him the other evening by the Earl of Shaftesbury, relative to the alleged bayonetting of 400 wounded Swedish volunteers by the Prussians, said he had received a telegram from her Majesty's Minister at Copenhagen and another from her :vas no t ru th w h atever i n c l\ o l m aj m es u ty n ' i s ca A ti m on b s as w sa a d s o t r ha a t t th ß e e r r e li , and th e e ff ec t o f th oso the reports circulated. THE VOTE OF CENSURE—DENMARK. AND GERMANY. The Earl of .MALMESBURY moved with reference to ;he Conference, that it is the opinion of this house that while the course pursued by her Majesty's Government has failed to maintain their avowed policy of upholding the integrity end independence of Denmark, it has lowered the just influence of this country in the councils of Europe, and thereby diminished the securities for peace. Ile regretted the absence of a most distinguished member of their lordships', house, because by that circumstance it became his duty to move the resolution new before their lordships, which he felt certain woutd have been done with greater effect by his noble friend. He would commence his observations with taking notice of a circumstance which had occurred in another place, viz., that it had been stated that the noble earl (Russel!) had only carried on the negotiations on the subject of Schleswig-Holstein in con currence with the opinions contained in a number of despatches written by him (Earl blahnesbury) when he had the honour to hold the seals of the Foreign Office. All he could say was that if that correspondence was in existence he thought it nothing but right that Parliament should be made acquainted with it, and that copies of it should be laid upon the table of their lordships' house. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) The subject he was about to bring under the attention of their lordships was one of the greatest importance, and he had to ask their forbearance while he addressed them, but he would endeavour to compress his observations into the narrowest limits. Referring to the question as to what was the Conservative policy, he said it was difficult for them to define . what they would do, when it was impossible to say in what cir cumstances they would be placed. He might with just as much fairness ask another question, and that was, What would the present Government do if they were in opposition? (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It would be quite as fair. (L iughter.) He would tell what they would do— they would endeavour to turn their opponents cut as soca as possible. (Laughter) He did not say that it would be wise now to go to war ; but he was prepared to say that there was a moment when, if the Government had taken a strong tone and made a strong stand war would have been avoided. (Hear, hear.) That was not his opinion alone. He had heard such opinions by Germans, and they, it would at once be admitted, were competent judges; and he trusted before he sat down he should be able to prove that such was the case. He was prepared to show that the Govern ment had brought about this state of things by their own faults. (Hear.) All municipal differences in Schleswig and Holstein were totally and distinctly marked off from international questions. With the municipal questions foreign Governments had nothing to do. It nas with the international questions that interference should be jus7ified. That distinction the Government had failed to keep in view. All through the question the noble earl (Russell) acted too much as a partizan; he had tailed to keep himself independent, and thus he had cut the ground from untie: his feet—(Hear, hear)—all the ground that would have enabled him to be looked upon as a fit statesman to arbitrate upon the difference between the parties. One instance of his conduct was shown on the 29th of April, 1861, when the noble lord proposed to Denmark a new constitution for itself in connection with the Duchies. The next point he touched upon was the statement made by Lord Palmerston, when he said that if certain events came to pass Denmark should not stand alone. There was only one interpretation to be put upon that. It meant that if Denmark were molested, England would stand at her side—(hear, hear)—and, of course, defend her. (Hear, hear.) There could be no other construction put upon such a declaration. lle believed ho should be asked, what policy the Opposition were prepared to adopt—but that question was both monstrous and unfair. The Opposition had no access to information with regard to the means which had been at the disposal of the Government tot carrying on a war, the state of the relations of the country with other powers, and other matters which were exclu sively in the cognisance of Ministers, who were responsible for the conduct and policy they had pursued. There had been two courses open to the Government. Whilst the Danish army was still unbroken they ought either to have joined with Sweden and assisted in placing 100,000 men on the Eider, in which case not a German soldier would have attempted to cross that river—or they might have frankly warned Denmark that whatever was the result of their diplomatic efforts they could not give her material aid—but it was clear that up to a very recent period Ministers could not make up their minds whether they would assist Denmark or not, and to that uncertainty and hesitation was to be attributed the failure of their diplomacy, the do whfal of their influence, and the undignified position in vetich they now found themselves. Vigorous action in the' first instance might have averted the war; but so indecisive had been the policy of the Government that ;they had not only not displayed vigour, but had so involved the country that it could only avoid war by a tardy and an unworthy retreat. Reviewing the correspondence of the Foreign Office, and the oral de clarations of Lord Palmerston, the noble earl contended that they had encouraged Denmark with hopes which were doomed to disappointment, and irritated the German Powers willa empty threats. He concluded by contrasting the un bdin in con as n. as quence been placed. embarrassed position of France and Russia in reference to t h h o e th u b n e d t i l g ig n e ifi re e n d io t s s it w u i a t t ht n he in b'' w fil hic l h po th lic e co yo u at of the Cabinet, and y had The motion was opposed by the Duke of ..k.EGYLL, who spoke at considerable length in defence of the Ministerial policy, . - Lord BROUGHAM said that he had attentively studied the correspondence, and had come to the conclusion that the Government had not menaced Germany. Ho felt that they could not have stood silently by and seen the Dance over whelmed without remonstrance and protest. At the same thee it could not be expected that England should take up their cause single-handed against one •third of continental Europe. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE agreed with the Earl of Malmesbury that it was the weakness and vacillation of the policy pursued by the Government that had brought on the war, placed this country in its present unpleasant position, and almost swept Denmark from the map of Europe. Whilst, however, he was of opinion that the Government had deplorably mismanaged affairs, he could not concur in the terms of the motion, which not only did not set forth the real facts of the case, but pronounced an opinion which the house ought not to place on its journals, He did not believe that the influence of England had been lowered. For rbat influence rested upon her power, and her power was never greater than at this moment. He moved as an amendment, to omit the latter proposition in the motion and insert in lieu thereof the words--" That this house regrets that Denmark was allowed to expect from the English G e vernment ,m,ate rial aid in support of the objects of the t reaty of 185-o. The Earl of CLARENDON had not s hared the . respot . and in this they would have tibility of the Government during the most active part of a corresponding spirit by the negociations, but in his opinion from the outset mi n i. sters had exhibited both bresight and appreciation of the gravity of affairs. They load show2a.a sincere . desire to bring t s to rho treaty of 1852. The s a u b e o c u e t e a d n ed a h m a i d ca t b b t e e ys af uen t i l t e a rn u f the parties more imn2ediste.ly interested, as well as the other t had all along been a most dif ficult one, not only as regarded the intricate questions in dispute between Denmark and Germany, but in decid ing bow to deal with those questions after France and Rusap , ha d declared their unconcern and indifference. The p P o o s w it e io rs n w ef ho th w e e G reovernMen course recommended by the proposer of the motion would have been equally rash an d i ne ff ec t ua l. It must have pro voked a war with the whole of Germany and in all proba bility led to th e rea li sation of the phenomenon; of German unity. A war between England and Germany would have extended to Italy and the Danubian Principalities, to P , land and Turkey. No wise statesman would have in sured the responsibility of kindling a European coufbgra • tion for the sake of Denmark, with France and itusaia not indifferent, but waiting on the course of events. After France and Russia had slunk away from their engagements no impartial Englishmen could blame the Government because their honest efforts had failed, and that not through any fault of their own. Much as he loved peace he loved. honour more, and it he did not believe that peace was con sistent with the honour as well as the interest of the country, he would have been the first to counsel war, nl.h, )ug h be had far less means of interteting with ( - flee t; thall 11, e po,v rrs who had declined to do so.
