Two o'CLocK. A special meeting of the Van Dt,men's L .nd Company was held to day for the purpose of elect ing a deputy governor, and disposing of the for feited shares. Mr. V. Knight, who occupied the chair, stated that under the provisions of the recent act the directors proposed to sell 116 shares, being a portion of those forfeited. The proceeds from the sale would discharge the expenses incurred in ob taining the new Act of Parliament, and also pay off the liabilities of the late Cnancery suit. The pros pects of the company were more encouraging now than at any other time, and the directors enter tained good hopes that at the next meeting they would be able to declare a dividend. A resolution in acoordance with the suggestions of the directors was unanimously agreed to. It was also resolved to offer the shares to the public by tender.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2. filE SUN, POLICE INTELLIGENCE - This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY OF DIAMOND EARRINGS OF £l5O VALUE AT A COURT JEWisLLERS— After Mr. L'yrwhitt t ,ok his seat on the bench this morning, at a quarter-past 11, John Rice, a well dressed Loan, who refused his address, said he was of no occupation, and who, at the time he was taken into cus tody, was wearing a watch and chain of the value of £3O, was charged by Inspector Tanner, of the Detect ve Depart ment, Scotland-yard, with being concerned with another man not in custody in stealing a pair of diamond earrings of the value of £l5O, at 79 ♦ Br ok-street, the property of Mr. Harry Emanuel, court jeweller. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, proseeuted, and Mr. Ed ward Lewis, of Great Marlborough•street, defended. Mr. Lewis, jun., having opened the case, called Mr. Arthur WM. Young, au assistant to Mr. Emanuel, who said - On the 18th of June last, between one and two o'clock, the prisoner and another man came into the shop, and walked up to the counter where I was serving. The other man asked to see some necklets,and some were shown him by another assistant. The man said they would not suit him, and that he wanted something more expensive. I then brought .tit some diamond Lockett, with chains attached to them. At that time a tray was placed on the counter by Mr. Beasley, the assistant, an open tray about 18 inches in length. It contained diamond brooches and earrings in little boxes of the description of the one produced, and at the time a pair of diamond-top earrings were in a little case. While engaged talking to the other man I observed the prisoner go to the tray and take out a box and lock at a diamond orooch with the word "souvenir," in diamonds on it, but after examining it he put it down again. The prisoner remained at the tray for about three minutes while I was talking to the other man, but I had not my eyes on him all the while. At this time an assistant named Beck entered at the front door, and the prisoner removed from the tray, and came up to the ether man and spoke to him, but he could not, hear what passed, and the prisoner then left, Laving the other man behind. The other man then in about three minu es said he would call on Saturday and see some fine emeralds, and left, and ' directly att.-r 1 missed the pair of earrings from the tray placed on the counter. Mr. Lewis, jun.—l suppose the man did not keep his promise as to calling on Saturd ty ? The witness—He did not, and I have not seen him since. At the time the prisoner wore the same gold chain with a guinea attached, as that produced. From information I yesterday received from Mr. Gough, assistant to Messrs. Garrards, 1 went into Oxford-street, and there saw the prisoner, who, seeing me, ran away, but I pursued him and gave hint into custody. The prisoner had two other men with him at the time, but they succeeeded in getting away. On telling the prisoner the charge, he said, " Ott, you have made a mistake, for I've been myself robbed of two £6 no; es." Mr. Edward Lewis having put a few questions to the witness on behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Frederick Gough, ssistant to Messrs. Garrards, of Penton-street, ji wellers, ice., said—Yesterday, about three o'clock, the prisoner and another wan entered our esta blishment. Atter leaving, in consequence of a suspicion I felt, I followed them, and saw teem joined by a third man in Panton-stt set. They all went into an oyster shop, ane then went and looked in a jeweller's window. They then went on, and waked twice past Messrs Hunt and ILskell's, in Bond-street, and then went into Mr. Turner's, a jewel ler, and afterwards to Messrs. Eglise and Thomas's, in Ox. ford-street. I gave information to the last witness. Mr. Lewis, jun.—l shall now ask your worship for a remand. Mr, Tyrwhitt--I will remand them till Wednesday next Liverpool Cotton Market---This Day.

Last night, at half• past 11, the prisoner came to his house and represented himself to Mrs. Barrett as a detec tive, and said he into tided to lay an information. He asked the prisoner what he meant, to which lie replied, "If you don't come up right 1 shall know what to do." He said, What authority have you for pretending to be a detective P" The prisoner said he was a detective, and he intended to bring witnesses forward to prove there was gambling in the house. He be , ged of the prisoner nut to give talse infor ma ion. The prisoner then bade him good night. In an , wer to questi ars by the magistrate, the witness stated that his wife could not attend, and she was very much alarmed by the prisoner's visit. Alexander Munroth, a clothier and boarding-house keeper, said he heard the prisoner say he was a detective, and belonged to the K division of police, and he intended to bring Mr. Barrett to tee Thames Police Court for suffering gambling, card playing - , and other games in his house. Sorrell, a police constable, st,id that at hail-p rst ten o'clock last night he saw the prisoner talking to a prosti tute in the West India-road, and spoke to him. The prisoner said there was a man named Evans in the Bank of Friendship playing at cards, and that there was a war rant our against him. He pulled his hat off to prevent being discovered, looked through a pane of glass in the window and could see no one. Mr. Phillip Beare, inspsotor of the K division, said the prisoner w-s formerly a police-constable of the K division, and was oismissed 18 mouths ago for drunkenness. The prisoner had been working for the Limited Company, at the Orchard-house, Blackwall. Mr. Partridge said it was clear to him the prisoner assumed the charaLter of a detective for the purpose of ex torting money. He fined the prisoner £5, and in default of payment to be imprisoned one month. THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Ye ster day Mr. W. Girter, the coroner, concluded the in quiry, at Streatham, into the circumstances connected with the Brighton railway accident of the 29th of May last. After several persons employed on the line had been exa mined, Mr. Juhn Scott Russell was called by Mr. Faithful, on behalf of the company. He stated that he considered tank engines the safest and best kind of engine that could be used for traffic on this particular line, namely, between Victoria, London Bridge, and Croydon. Re had heard nothing to account for the accident, e xcept the irregular shutting off of the steam. Colonel Yolland, who had male an inquiry by direction of the Board of Trade, said that the permanent-way was not strong enough to bear the weight of the engine and carriag.-s running at such a speed. He did net think it expedient to run at the rare of 60 miles an h;eur with tank engines having 18ft. bin. wheel basis, espe cially when the engine was not tightly screwed up to the break van behind it. The jury, atter deliberating for an hour, returned the following vtrdict :—" That the deceased persons severally came by their deaths from accident, and we, the july, are of opinion that it was attributable to the high rate of speed at which the express trains run over the line from Croydon to Victoria. The jury would urge ou the directors of the London and Be ignton Company the necessity of allowing more time for the perf3rmance of the journey, and that careful attention should be given to the coupling of the trains." The Wester Zeitung states that the works at the port of J,tide have not suffered any delay in conse quence of the present state of the internal affairs of Prussia : bur, on the ooni Cary, are being carried on with great energy, upwards of 1,800 wen being constantly employ d on thew. The expectation is that next y ear the works will be suffi ciently advanced for a par t of the Prussian navy t o fi n d anchorage in the port. yesterday,a per fect tadthepetLaitvepripekodirl g Police the pockets Cu who gave his name as James Buxton, and who is well ort known in Manchester, Leeoe, York, Birmingham, and othe r places, was sent for trial at the sessions on three charges. His custom was to meet respectable women in the street, and stop them by putting some trifling question, when he would detain them in conversation, and suddenly run away. Invariably the ladies, after these interviews, found themselves robbed of their purses and money, THE CAVALRY FIGHT AT ALDIE. The special correspondent of the New York Times gives the following detailed account of the cavalry fight at Aidie on the 17th ult., which is described as one of :.he sharpest eavatry battles of the war:— " Aldie, Wednesday, June 17. " The advance of General Gregg's cavalry command reached this place about 2 o'clock this afternoon, where two brigades of the enemy, commanded by General Stuart in person, were found in possession. After three hours' hard fighting they were forced to retire. The fight while it lasted was one of the sharpest that has occurred during the war, and as a cons, quence the loss of officers and men on both sides is very heavy. The enemy's pickets were first en countered a little east of the village by companies H and M of the 2d New York (Harris) Light Cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant Daniel Whittaker, and were by them driven through the town back to a ridge of hills half a mile to the west, extending across from the Middle burgh and Snicker's Gap-road, where the rebel force was in position ready for action. The advance brigade, under Gem Kilpatrick, immediately moved through to the western edge of the town. The Ist Maine (Colonel Douty) was sent off to a point half a mi e to the left, and the 4th New York (Colonel Cesnola) to the light, to support a section of An drews's battery, placed on a rise of ground north of the Snicker's Gap-road. The enemy at this time occupied the hill, as before stated, where they bad four guns in position; a line of their skirmishers occupied a fence on the eastern slope, and a long ditch, just in front of which were half-a clez,n stacks of hay, thus commanding both Midd►eburgh and Snicker's Gap -road. A stronger position could not well have been selected. When the exact position of the enemy had been ascertained by drawing their fire, General Kilpatrick rode up to the 2d New York (Harris Light), and said then was tho time for them to wipe out the reflection cast upon them for their alleged misconduct in the fight of last week at Brandy Station, He ordered them to charge into the valley and secure the haystacks ; the ditch or ravine at the rear of this position had not then been discovered. Companies H and M, accompanied by Lieuts Whittaker. Raymond, Martinson, Homan, and Stuart, moved off down the Middleburgh-road, the fence to the right was quickly thrown down, and with a dash this for lorn hope rushed up to the haystacks, For the first time their fire was opened from the ditch a little to the rear of the haystacks. This was filled with rebel caval-y, many of them armed with rifles. Capt. Grintar with Lieutenants :tlattison and Shafer, and Company K. dashed up imme diately to the support of these companies, F, I, D, and G went to the rivet up the Snicker a Gap road a piece, turned to the lett, crossed the field, and reached the scene of conflict in time to teke an active part. The contest for 20 minutes at this point was about as spirited a scene as is often witnessed on a bettlefiekl. Toe 6th Ohio, Major iteactmen, was sent up the road to the left to support the Harris Light, when the whole command, with the Major at its held, dashed into the fight just in time to decide the unequal contest, The rebels were forced to abandon their position, and all who were not killed or captured fled pre cipitately up the hill. They made a short s- awl behind the .ence, when a dash from a battalion of the 4th New York, called on from its position behind the battery, together with he other regiments already named, drove them pell-mell over the hill, The Ist Maine about this time was called in from the left, and with the Ist Massachussets, stationed on the Snicker's Gap road, sent to a position held by the id battalion of the 4th New York. The rebels at this time charged down the same road and drove before them a squadron,. when General Kilpatrick ordered the Ist Maine (Colonel Doti ry), Ist Massachusette (Lieutenant -Colonel Curtis, and a battalion of the 4th New York, under Colonel Cesnola, to charge up the road. There was a little hesitancy at first, when General Kilpatrick, ac companied by Cole, el Delay, ot the Ist Maine, and Captain Costar, of General Pleasanton's Staff, went to the front and called upon the toops to follow. Thera was no hesitancy 'hen. Ibe Maine boys gave three cheers for General Kil patrick, and the whole column made a dash up the road in the faceofa terrible fire from carbines,riflles, end cannon, sweep ing everything before them. This virtually ended the fight. 'The rebels, after a little more skirmishing, fell back, and our forces to-night occupy their position. Col. Cesnola was under arrest at the commencement of the action, but set such a gallant example ro his men, by leading the first eharge without his sword, that upon returning to the road General Kilpatrick released him from arrest and placed upon him his own sword. He immediately after partici pated in the charge with the Ist Maine, Ist Massachusetts, and 4th New York, and has not been seen since. A ser geant ot the regiment asserts that he saw the Colonel fall, end he is sure that he was killed, and some of the rebel prisoners confirm this report. But the report of his death 's not generally believed. In this charge Gen. Kilpatrick had a horse shit under him, and Colonel Douty, of the Ist Maine, was killed. When returning from the charge the body was found by Capt. Vaughn, who had itproperty cared tor. Two shots struck him, probably at about the same time. The Ist Massachusetts captured the battle flag of the 4th Vir ginia Cavalry. More than 100 prisoners were captured, mem bers principally of the ls•, 3d, 4th, and sth Virginia cavalry. They say they were under the command of General Stuart. Among the prisoners is one colonel, three majors, and a lot of line officers. The major and 60 men, who were stationed behind the haystacks, were nearly all captured. The major considered his position impregnable, not believing that any cavalry would dare make a ch..rge upon the place, swept as the whole field was by three lines of guns. The meeting of General Gregg's command was entirely unexpected by the rebels. Stuart had arrived thus far on a forced march into Maryland, having marched 25 miles this morning, and ex p. Ming t be on the road again in the evening. Two regi ments had entered the town, and had pressed into their ser vice all the blacksmith's toools to be found ; and when our advance guard approached they were busily engaged shoeing horses. To-day the command of Colonel Duffle passed through Thoroughfare G .p, after a brief fight, and to-night occupies Middleburgh, five miles from Alaie, and in the rear of Stuart's army. Stuart will have to fight to-morrow at a disadvantage or, what is more probable, sneak oft to-night Captain Allen, of the 4th New York Cavalry, came through the rebel lines with this news." THE CHARITY CHILDREN IN ST. PAUL'S.— When the children rise again, there rises bimul taneously in a tall red box, like aPunch's show with the top eft; an energetic figure in a surplice, armed with a long a ick ; the organ begins to play, and, led by the man in the surplice, the children commence the Hundredth Psalm, which is sung in alternate verses, the children on the right taking the first verse, and the second being taken up by those on the left, I had heard much of this performance, and, like, all those things of which we hear much, I was a litcle disappointed. I had heard of people being vety much affected ; of their bursting into tears, and showing other signs of being overcome. I saw nothing of this. The voices of the children were fresh, pure, and ring ing ; but where 1 stood at least, very close to the chcir, there was a shrillness in the tone, which at times was discordant and almost painful. There was also a marked peculiarity in the strong sibillation given to the letter " S" in any words in which it occurred. Several times during the ensuing ser vice the children sang much in the same manner, and I began to think that all I had heard was overrated, when alter a farm n during which many of them had refreshed themselves with more than forty winks, and considerably more than forty thousand nods, they burst into the glorious Hallelujah chorus. The result was astonishing. I cannot describe it, At each repetition of the word "Hallelujah," by the 4,000 fresh voices, you felt your eyes sparkle and your cheeks glow. There was a sense of mental and phy sical exhilaration which I not only felt myself, but marked in all around me. Now for the first time I unc'erstood how the effect of which I had been told had been produced; now I comprehended how the "intelligent foreigner" (who is always brought foward as a reference) had said that such a performance could not be matched in the world.—Dicksns's " All the Year _Round." MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS FOR THE YEAR 1862- 1863.—The total amount ti these receipts is £2,753,560 for the year. The fees received at the public offices in England placed to this account were £128,865. The same in Scotland amounted to £43,909, and in Ireland to £15,935. These are divided into separate items, among which the fines for specialties received at the police -courts i n England figure at £11,724. Among other items are £4,614 balance of fees received in the Jewel House at the Tower of London, £1,038, the proceeds of condemned slaves captured off the Gold Coast, &c., and of certain piratical vessels and gouda condemned in the Vice-Admi • ratty Court at Hong Kong ; £19,1;,9 gross revenue of the Lo , idon Gazette, £3,571 for the Edinburgh Gazette, and 1,301 for tne Dublin Gazette. line official Annuario of Public Instruction, just published at Turin for the current year, states the number of universities in Italy at 19. The total number of lyceums throughout the kingdom of Italy is 87, with 3,896 pupils ; the number of grammar schools or gymnasia is 230, with 14,281 pupils, The number of pupils in the elementary schools is 801,202, viz., 459,272 boys and 311,929 girls. A convict, named Lenj iret, who escaped some days ago from two gendarmes by lecping from a railway carriage between Saumur and Orleans, but was soon after re-captured and lodged in prison at Chinon (Indre-et-Loire), has again succeeded in making his escape. 1 hough locked up in the strongest cell of the new prison, he managed to remove one of the bars across the window, and to get through the opening thus made. He L ext forced the door of the inner wall with the window bar, and then broke a hole through the outer wall and got clear off. All this was done in less than an hour, far h e was sa f e i n hi s cell at two in the morning and was not to be f oun d a t t h ree .

No trace of him has yet been found, DOES SMOKING PRODUCE CANCER. There is still one other form of cancerous disease which deserves consideration ; I mean came' of the lower lip. The lower lip is affected, not unirequently, in the pre disposed, with a variety of cancer called from its spreading and superficial character " epithelial cancer." It has been observed unquestionably of this cancer that it occurs fre quently in persons who smoke short pipes, and that it breaks out at that part of the lower lip where the pipe produces an impression. Here therefore we may, without hesitation, assume that smoking mites the caneerout. disorder; but, as I said some time since, this exciting cause is indirect in its action, inasmuch as it is convected with the pipe, and not with the tobacco ; for it has been found by experience that the mischief does not become developee in cigar smokers, nor even in those who smoke pipes having a smooth surface, and which are of sufficient length, and as a consequence are cool—but that the accident happens mainly from the use of the short cutty pipe, which is held very firmly in the lips without any support from the hand, and conveys to the lip considerable heat, amounting some times almost to pain. Those who are opposed to tobacco will naturally accept the fact above given as a condemnation of the weed. Those who advocate tobacco, on the other hand, will assert that the statement, it true, tells nothing against tobacco itself, but simply against an objectionable way of using it; and I confess that this latter view of the subject is the one with which I should agree. Nay, Ido not know whether something more may not be said even on the tobacco side of the controversy, for the truth is this, that whenever the pipe brings out the disease, as we have seen, there existed in the person affected a strong predisposition which would, almost to a certainty, become developed in some one part or other of the body, it' it did not break out in the lip. Under such circumstances the life of the sufferer will be considerably lengthened or shortened, according to the point at which the disease manifests itself, and if there is one point of the body more favourable than another for the de velopment of cancer, it is the lip, and if there is one form that is more open to cure by operation than another, it is the epithelial cancer which occurs in the lip. Hence in the run of cases, it may rather be an advantage than otherwise that the cancerous disease should be thrown out at a spot where, tor a time at least, it may divert the development of the fatal growth from more vital organs, and where, in ex tremity, it lies within the reach of treatment, and even of cure.—Dr. Richardson in the Social Science Review. CONFEDERATE CRU I S ERS. —The New York Herald says that the Confederates have no less than five steamers and four sailing vessels at work preying upon the commerce at the Federals, and that in fact they are getting up quite a respectable flotilla upon the ocean. The steamers are the Alabama, the Florida (late Oreto), Georgia (late Japan), Robert Lee, and a steamer, the name of which is unknown, stationed off Cape Horn. The sailing vessels ale the bark Lapwing, tender to the Florida; the bark Tacony, or Florida No. 2 ; and two vessels, names unknown, cruising between Rocas Reef and 3 deg. east of the island of Fernando de Noronha. Already they have captured, burn, and destrt yed no less than 128 vessels. EDINBURGH VERSUS DUBLIN.—The question of precedence as between these two cities has been raised in consequence of what passed on the presentation of addresses to her Majesty on the occasion of the Prince of Wales's marriage. Ulster King-at-Arms was requested to report to the Lord -Lieutenant of Ireland upon the subject, and discusses it accordingly in a paper in which he de scribes the claim of Edinburgh as founded upon three reasons-1. That the Scottish Act of Union was earlier in date than the Irish ; 2. That the arms of Scotland are quartered in the Royal shield before the aims of Ire land ; 3. That by the Acts of Union and Scotland the eirs of Scotland take rank before the peers of Ireland. Ulster maintains the insufficiency of these reasons, and he right of Dublin to precedence, and he mentions that it was a city in the time of Ptolemy. But the Govern. ment having referred this report to Garter King-at- Arms for his observations thereon, that officer of State has given his opinion, stating that these three reasons satisfy him that precedency belongs to Scotland as the elder, and as it were the twin sister of England. He relies much on the position of the arms of Scotland and of Ire land in the national achievement, and remarks that since the Union in 1801 the standard of Scotland has preceded that of Ireland, the great officers of Scotland have pre ceded those of Ireland, and the officers of arms of Scotland have preceded those of Ireland, as may be seen by the ce remonial of the coronation of George IV. Some reliance has been placed on the privilege claimed by the Corpora tion of Dublin of presenting addresses to the Sovereign on the throne, but Garter observes that this is not shown to have occurred until January, 1821, in the reign of George IV., and a similar honour was enjoyed by the Lord Provost, magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh when they pre sented an address to the same monarch at ,Holyrood in August, 1822. Many privileges may be given to one body, not enjoyed by another, without thereby affecting the rank or precedence of either. THE GUARDS AT WATERLOO.—The Guards had what in modern battues is called a hot corner of it, and the greatest "gluttons" (and we had many such) must have allowed, when night came on, that they had had fight ing enough. I confess that I am to this day astonished that any of us remained alive. From 11 o'clock till 7we were pounded with shot and shell at long and short range, were incessently potted at by tirailleurs who kept up a most biting fire, constantly charg, d by immense masses of cavalry who seemed determined to go in and win, preceded as there visits were by a terrific fire of artillery; and, last of all, were at tacked by "la Vieille Garde" itself. But here we came to the end of our long fiery ordeal. The French veterans, conspicuous by their high bearskin caps and lofty stature on breasting the ridge behind which we were at that time, were met by a fearful fire of artillery and musketry, which swept away whole masses of those valiant soldiers; and, while ire disorder, they were charged by us with complete success, and driven in utter rout and discomfiture down the ravine. The Prussians having now arrived in force on the French right, a general advance on the whole line was or dered, and the day was won. During the battle our squares presented a shocking sight. Inside were nearly suffocated by the smoke and smell from burnt cartridges. It was impos sible to move a yard without treading upon a wounded com rade, or the bodies of the dead ; and the loud groans of the wounded and dying were most appalling. At four o'clock our square was a perfect hospital, being full of dead, dying, and mutilated soldiers. The charges of cavalry were in appearance very formidable, but in reality a great relief, as the artillery could no longer fire on us; the very earth shook under the enormous mass of men and horses. 1 never shall forget the strange noise our bullets made , against the broasti laces of Kellermann's and 2dilhau k d ed s cuirassiers, six or seven thousand in number, who attacked a us with great. fury.

His sufferings dining the amputation were dreadful. The shot had torn arflpu ad away the fl es h of the thigh, and the bones were sticking up near the hi p in splinters.

REDUCTION OF INDIAN REGIMENTS. In reply to Col. SInES, The Marquis of HARTINGTON stated that it had been determined to reduce by a troop each of the Indian cavalry regiments, so as to place them on a footing with the English regiments. POLAND. Mr. HORSMAN asked the Under Smeary of State lot Foreign Affairs on what day the English and French notes were received at St. Petersburg, on what day the Austrian note was receive] , on what day the several notes were presented to the Russian Minister ; and, whether the British Ambassador was instructed to keep back the English note till the Austrian note arrived ? Mr. LAYARD replied that the three notes were re ceived together, and delivered by the representatives of the three Powers to Prince Gortschakoff on the 27th, who said he should at once refer them for a reply to the Emperor. No instructions were given to the English Am bassador to keep back the English note till the Austrian note arrived.

Mr. FORSTER, alluding to the debate the other evening, and the recent visit of two members of that house to Paris (dr. Roebuck and Mr. Lindsay), called upon the hon. gentleman the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs for some explanation. Mr. LAYARD rose and asked the indulgence of the house whilst he entered at more than usual length into a reply to the question. (Cheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK would accede to this request provided the hon. gentleman would move the adjournment of the house. (Oh, oh.) Mr. LAYARD said grave and unprecedented charges had been made against the Government, and ho claimed the indulgence of the house. Mr. ROEBUCK rose to order; (Much noise, and cries of " Oh, oh.") Mr. CONINGHAM—The hon. and learned member is not the dictator of this house. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. ROEBUCK desired to say that he hoped nothing would be put forward by the hon. member, to which a reply could not be immediately given. The SPEAKER ruled that the Under Secretary was in. order. Mr. LAYARD then explained at some length the whole course of proceeding. The hon. and learned member had charged the Government with a breach of confidence in improperly furnishing a confidential document to the Minister of a foreign Sovereign. He (Mr. Layard) stated on Tuesday that no communication had been received from the French Government tending to intervention or any ocher proceeding affecting the Northern and Southern States. He repeated now that no communi cation had been received to this effect since that of Novem ber last. (Hear, hear.) The French Minister for Foreign Affairs wrote to the French Ambassador in London on the 10th of October, but it was not com municated to her Majesty's Government till the 10th of November, and then only verbally, as no copy was furnished. Before the reply of the Government could be given, this document appeared in the Ilfoniteur on the 30th. of November. (Hear, hear.) The Government, following that of France, published their reply in the Gazette on the 14th, The despatch was duly communicated to the Ame rican Government, but it was the 2d of December when. Mr. Seward spoke to Lord Lyons—and for the first time — on the matter. (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. POLAND. In reply to Mr. BENTINCY, Mr. HENNE SSY stated that he should endeavour to bring on his motion when all the papers were on the table of the house. THE DEBATE ON THE AMERICAN WAR.
