Lord BROUGHAM laid on the table a bill for assi milating the bankruptcy and insolvency laws of England and Scotland, which he stated had obtained the general approval of the mercantile classes of Scotland, as well as of the Scotch judges. On the motion of the noble lord, the bill was read a first time. COUNTY COURTS. Lord BROUGHAM, in moving for a return of the fees received by the County Courts, deprecated the system of paying the judges and officers of those courts out of fees paid by suitors, instead of out of the conso lidated fund. He stated that no less a sum than 125,0001. was extorted in one year from the suitors for that pur pose. . CHRISTIANITY IN THE EAST. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in rising to move for a paper in continuation of those formerly presented on the state of religious liberty enjoyed by the Christians under the Turkish Government, said that a few days ago there appeared in the public papers a document purport ing to be a manifesto from the Emperor of Russia which contained this portentous assertion, that England and France, siding with the enemies of Christianity, had de clared war against Russia, which was combating for the orthodox faith. It waa not surprising that England and France should resent such an imputation, and should require an explanation, and that all Europe should do so ; be. more particularly those who had been engaged in administering the affairs of some portions of the reli giov.e societies which existed in England and upon the coedinent, and who were prepared to give and would asive the most positive contradiction to this assertion of the Czar. He would undertake to prove that Turkey had done everything to advance, and Russia everything to suppress the progress of Protestant Christianity among millions of mankind. His firm belief was that from first to last there never was one particle or atom of sincerity on the part of Russia in the negotiations which had been carried on—(hear, hear)---and if the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had been an angel of light he would not have brought those negotiations to any other issue than had been arrived at. (Hear, hear.) There was but one dominant feeling in the mind of the Czar—which was, to obtain absolute dominion over the Turkish Em pire. (Hear, hear.) This was evident from the haughty assumption of protection over the rights of Christians in the East, and the haughty rejection of the me diation of the Four Powers. ' It was also evident after the production of the Menschikoff note, and th e style and tone of the despatches of the noble lord con ferred the greatest honour upon the Government, and added to the dignity of the country. The Emperor of Russia was not the first man who had laid to our charge an unholy alliance with the Mussulmans ; he had taken it second hand from an accomplished member of the other house, only adding that he was combating for the orthodox faith. He did think it surprising that a gen tleman of sagacity and knowledge like Mr. Cobden should have treated this subject as if an alliance with Mussul mans was a thing unprecedented with Christian powers. We had had not only defensive but offensive alliances with Mussulman princes in India. The hon. gentleman talked as if Indian history had never been written, and as if we had never been united with INlusselmans for the recovery of the power of Egypt. There was a very wide distinction between an alliance with any power for the assertion of a great principle and the maintenance of order, and an alliance with that power for the purpose of aggrandisement. Law, justice, and order were things so sacred in the eye of God that they must be respected, and Turkey happened to be the battle field, and the Turks happened to be . the immediate object of this principle. It was not a question whether the Turks should remain at Constantinople, but whether we should uphold an empire said to be in its dotage, and maintain the rights and independence of the weaker power, and whether we should put a limit to the encroachments of an ambitious power that seemed dis posed to darken all that was light and subject all that was free. (Hear, hear.) As far as he had heard he most heartily wished the Russians were well north of Archangel, whence they never ought to have issued (Hear, hear.) And the Turks were well on the eastern side of the Euphrates. But since we were called on to say which we preferred, he declared that he infinitely preferred Turkish to Russian dominions, for under the Turks they possessed facilities for the progress of the civilisation of mankind which were utterly denied within the territories of Russia. He would attempt to describe the growth of civilisation and Christianity, and the de velopment of the intellect, and the increase of wealth, with all the accompanying advantages which had taken place in the last 20 years in the Oriental provinces sub ject to the Turkish empire. He did not deny that in the Turkish dominions, notwithstanding what he had as serted of the greater freedom allowed to the Christian population and the great progress which they had made, that there had been occasional outbreaks of violence ; but they had been local and not general, and had been caused by some ill-conducted fanatics and never autho rised by the Government. The great enemies of Chris tianity in those provinces was not the Turk, but the Christian himself. A large proportion of the spoliation, torture, and imprisonment to which Christians were subjected, had been instigated by Christians against Christians, or else had been the work of the Greek priesthood, with a view to obtain power over the laity of their own community. He would detail the gradual growth and progress of intelligence and civilisation in Turkey during the last 20 years. It was stated upon the authority of all those most conversant with the subject, and could be proved by records, that the diffusion of the Bible had been almost incredible, and that had been the precursor of civilisation and free in stitutions. Wherever the Scriptures had free course, and were freely admitted into the minds of men, there civilisation was sure to exist, and longings and aspira tions for liberty. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Layard made a statement in the House of Commons which had been confirmed by the American missionaries—namely, that there were 40 towns and villages in which there were distinct congregations of protestant seceders from the Greek church. Twenty-five years ago not a single seceder was to be found, but now there were 65 regu larly appointed protestant teachers ; and in Constanti nople alone there were 14 schools belonging to these se. ceders. The consequence of this had been that men's minds had been set to work, and there had been an in crease of intelligence, accumulation of wealth, and great aspirations for truth. The efforts of the laity to eman cipate itself from the thraldom of the priesthood had been strenuously opposed, but it had been nevertheless very successful, and was going on rapidly at this mo ment. Now, to what was all this to be attributed ? Why, to the singular, to the unprecedented liberality of the Turkish Government. (Hear, hear.) In Turkey free scope was allowed to every religious movement, and there had been no hindrances except from the Greek and Armenian priesthood. Associations, open and recognised, were permitted for religious purposes. Printing presses were allowed in Con stantinople, Bucharest, and other great towns, where the scriptures were printed in every Oriental language, in the Turkish language, and for circulation among' the Turkish people. There were forty Bible depots in Turkey, where Bibles were freely sold ; and colporteurs were allowed to perambulate th e coun t r y and citeulate the Scriptures. Now, let him contrast this with what was done in the Russian dominions, and from that they might infer what would be done if Tarkey fell under the sway of Russia. No colporteurs were allowed to enter Russia—no scope was permitted for re ligions movements, and no printing presses were per mitted for printing the Bible. There were no versions of the scriptures allowed to be imported into Russia, ex cept those in the English, French, Italian, and German tongues, not a single copy of the Scriptures in the mo dern Russ, the language of the people, was allowed to pass the frontier. Copies of the Scriptures in that lan guage were forbidden to be imported under the severest penalties ; and since 1823-4 there had not been printed a Russia a single copy of the Scriptures in the modern 1111188. ( Hear, hear.) There were no colporteurs or „Oln_er persons allowed to perambulate the country as re "glcue • teachers • and he might mention another in "r...ce of remarkable bigotry. Although the Emperor ° l._,Allesia had 2,000,000 of Hebrew people in his do zahlt ° u 3 3 he did not allow to pass his frontier for use, one $ ' I copy of the Scriptures in the Hebrew. t „, ing e • ngne. If this was the spirit in which the 11° Peror governed Russia, what might they not expect if he obtained possession of the Tur .terhlnnol But this great autocrat who coin vat ao % roe ly for " the orthodox faith not more Uzi li raef ble to missions not missions to disturb- the °f the members of the Greek c hurch, but ini ss i oce to the heathen in his own domi nions—the outcasts or his own to the lowest depths of idolatry and ignorance. He be provinces who were sunk lieved that no missiona b a4 the wa l?e? ti n sent from the Greek . Church to the heathen in and steppes of Russia. The Moravian brethren, a s et Ci knew, presented the best specimens of Christ-4 0 7ZZ Y and in 1823 they sent a mission to Russia, b utth r y aries, were not allowed to baptise any of their converts, in consequence of an old law that no he athen sho uld be con v erted to Chris tianity, except by the Greek priesthood. The London Missionary Society undertook a mission in Siberia and on the frontiers of Chinese Tartary, in which undertaking they received the countenance of the Emperor Al exao ,. der ; but in the year 1841, after 20 years' expense and labour, their mission was suppressed by an order of the Russian Government, that Government conceiving that no man ought to be converted to Christianity, except through the medium of their own priesthood. On the other hand, the Turks not only gave full liberty t o mis sionaries, but by the promulgation of edicts allowed every one to follow those religious views which he believed to be right. He would say a few words upon the manner in which Russia had exerted its influence in the Greek Church. The house should bear in mind that the autho rity in that Church possessed civil as well as eccleasias i tical powers—acting, indeed, to a certain d e g ree as aagistrates. In relation to this, Mr. Consul Wood, one of his despatches, spoke of the cruelty and intrigues of the Greek priests, who, said he, were i ns tigated by the Russian Consul-General. So again Mr. Welles ley wrote in 1846 to the Foreign Minister, complain ing of the injuries inflicted upon, and the hardships endured by Greeks, through the persecution of their own Church. Yet this was the state of things which the .e~u~ k .: ~1 ~~ a.t 7(,1 ~i THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1854. than Russia, but simply because in these manifestoes there has been an evident want of truth, and because they have been wholly unsupported by facts. (Hear.) My lords, the Russian people—by which I mean the upper, the middle, the educated classes, such as constitute, and as far as is permissible, express public opinion in Russia—these people all know that their religion has been exposed to no danger, nor have they any reason to think that the religion of the Greeks has been exposed to danger, because they know that the only object in dis pute, to which, indeed, much importance was attached —that of the Holy Places—has been satisfactorily set tled, and it is remarked by them, that in none of the manifestoes, nor in the despatches yet published, is there any statement of facts, still less any instance adduced of complaints having been made by Greeks to their patri arch, to the Sultan, or to the Emperor, either of reli gious oppression, or of their having been deprived of any right which thay had formerly enjoyed. I say it is manifest, therefore, that that was not the true cause. If those declarations had stated that the Principalities were necessary because the Danube would make a better boundary than the Pruth, or that the time was at length come for possessing Constantinople ; or, better still, for undermining the authority of the Sultan, and rendering him a mere vassal, and dependent on Russia—to such declarations there might have been a response, but to the sham cry of religion, I trust there will be none. Your lordships will also remember what a remarkable absence, as my noble friend stated, of any religious excitement, there has been during the last twelvemonth in Turkey. Mahomedan fanaticism and its melan choly results in former times are too well known ; but in the present instance they have, happily, been wanting. No spirit has been called forth, but that which we our selves can admire and sympathise in —(cheers)—there has been a national spirit—a brave determination on the part of the Turks to resist, at all hazards, the invaders of their country. (Hear, hear.) But, my lords, these manifestoes and these exciting appeals, which have been more addressed to the Greek subjects of the Porte than even to the Russians ; these agents that have gone among the Greek subjects of the Porte to excite them to revolt; this enrolment of 3,000 Wallachians for the pur pose of bearing arms against their Sovereign, all this is nothing but a servile copy of the course pursued by all revolutionists and propagandists, whose acts the Emperor has always been denouncing as the greatest political crimes —(hear, hear)—and to whose discomfiture all the energies of his life have been devoted. (Hear, hear.) I say, then, it is utterly unjustifiable, and without ex cuse, to give to this war the character of a religious war; and still less is there any cause for the charge, the por tentous charge, as my noble friend has called it, which consists in accusing the French and English Govern ments of allying themselves with the enemies, and against the friends, of Christianity. My noble friend has truly stated what the character of this war is. My lords, we are going to engage in a contest in support of the prin ciples of justice and of sound policy. (Cheers.) We , are about to prevent the pernicious example being given of a weak state being overwhelmed by a powerful neighbour ; we are about to prevent an unjust interpretation of a treaty from being supported by violence —we are about to prevent the terri, torial limits established by treaty and the equilibrium of Europe from being violently disturbed ; and I hope that we shall also, as my noble friend has said, put a stop to that blighting influence which has deprived more than one country is Europe—indeed, I may say, so large a oortion of Europe—of free action ; an influence which has always been exerted to check that progress which is essential to the welfare of nations ; an inluence more over, which, by stigmatising as revolution, and by check ing all those improvements which governments have been willing to make, and which the people have deemed that they had a right to expect has encouraged disloyalty and discontent. I entirely agree with my noble friend that greater privileges have been enjoyed by Christians under Mahomedan than under Russian government. It is perfectly true that it may be owing to the indifference of the Sultan that such a state of things has been brought about. But, my lords, there is no reason why the Sultan exercising despotic power, should not say, "The Ma homedan religion is the religion of the state, and no other shall be professed here ; there is no reason why he should not say, "The Koran contains all truth, and the Bible shall be prohibited." (Hear, hear.) But, my lards, as my noble friend has said, what we have to do with is, not motives but realities and facts. Your lordships will find l i in addition to what my noble friend has alluded to in his speech to-day —you will find from the papers recently laid on the table that the Sultan has by decrees issued during his last year proclaimed his ardent wish and firm intention that all classes of his subjects should be per. fectly at ease with respect to their religious and spiritual affairs. He has further said that the concessions which have been made to Protestants should for ever remain inviolate. That, my lords, is the measure of the Sultan's liberality and toleration ; my noble friend has given you that of the Emperor's. (Hear, hear.) And I may add, still further, that it was only last year that the Sultan gave a large tract of land to be used as a burial-ground by the Christian community, with liberty to protestants to erect a chapel and to perform divine service there ; and this was at a time when papers were laid on your lordships table by which the country was informed that among other nations who would probably consider themselves degraded by way of comparison with Turkey, the protestant religion was strictly pro hibited, and the protestant dead were ignominiously , smuggled into the grave, My lords, under these cir cumstances, and with reference to the desire which has been manifested by the Sultan, not only to secure to his Christian subjects the full and free exercise of their religion, but also to improve their civil condition, I will take the liberty of reading to your lordships a document, which reached my hinds only 036,,,,b 1..14' ..a hoar before I came down to the house. It is a des patch from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, and I think your lordships will be glad to hear it, as corroborating what my noble friend has stated in his speech. It is dated "Constantinople, Feb. 25," and is as follows : "I have much satisfaction in reporting to your lordship that the firman for establishing Christian evidence on an equality with Mussulman throughout the Turkish empire is complete—(hear)—and that it received the Sultan's sanction shortly before I had the honour to receive your lordship's instructions relating to the question which it has now settled once for all on a broad and firm basis. (Hear, hear.) I have received a copy of it from the Porte. No time will be lost in promulgating it, and I propose to send a translation of it by the Trieste steam-packet, which goes to sea the day after to-morrow. I have reason to hope that this great act of long withheld justice will be followed by other proofs of the Sultan's comprehen sive beneficence and of the improved spirit prevailing among hi. Mahometan subjects. It is my ardent wish that the Christian and other non-Mussulman classes of the population of this empire may duly appreciate the benefit conferred upon them, and justify by their peace ful and loyal behaviour the increasing goodwill manifested towards them by the Sultan and his Government. The haratach is no longer levied in a manner vexatious to individuals, but it is an unjust and degrading tax for the complete abolition of which I shall continue to employ my strenuous exertions. (Cries of "Hear, hear.") My lords, I thought that as my noble friend was about to bring his motion before the house, I would not wait till this document was laid on the table. But I say, my lords, with reference to what the Sultan has already done, and to what I think there is evidence of his inten tion to do, I cannot omit this opportunity of express ing my deep regret at the movement which has taken place among the Greek subjects of Turkey. (Hear.) My lords, I admit that great civil reforms are still neces sary, and that the Greeks have still much to complain of ; but I am perfectly convinced that it is not by in surrection that anything good or solid will be done. (Hear, hear.) lam perfectly sure that it is not by idle dreams of a Byzantine empire that the position of the Greeks will ever be improved ; it is not by playing the game, while abhorring the dominion of Russia, that the Greeks will ever secure their object ; it is not by thwart ing, but by confiding in the Four Powers, that the re quired improvements will b e effected. (Hear.) And I must take this opportunity of repeating, what I said a few nights ago, that the Four Powers who are now engaged in supporting, and who are determined to up hold the Ottoman empire, would ill perform their duty, would show that they did not understand the true cha racter of their mission, and mould neglect not only the interests of Christianity, but the best interests of the Sultan, if they did not take care to secure the civil as well as the religious rights and immunities of the Chris tian subjects of Turkey, and to open the way for Chris tian civilisation 'with its progress and its prosperity, which will eventually prove the best shield for Turkey, Against foreign aggression, and her surest protection against internal disturbance. (Hear, and cheers.) Earl GREY was very glad to hear the charge which had been brought by Russia against England and France repudiated by lfbr Majesty's Government. At the same time it was very important that their lordships should not, amid the enthusiasm with which these announce ments were received, forget the real state of the facts. His noble friend had spoken of the indifference of the Sultan to the advantages enjoyed by Kotestants. The tole ration on which the Turks iwere complimented was, he feared, confined to what took place between the various Christian sects. All the members of Christian sects were looked upon as dogs, and between one dog and another the trueMussul man saw very little distinction. (Laughter.) He concurred with his noble friend (the Earl of Claren don) in thinking that the Christians in the western provinces of Turkey were acting very unwisely in aiding Russia ; but they must make allowance for feelings which had been produced by 400 years of cruelty and oppres sion. When the Turks had been so tardy in granting concessions, they could not be surprised that the Chris tian population should endeavour to seize what perhaps they could not obtain from their rulers. He did hope that if an internal war between Turkey on the one hand, and the Greeks on the other should rise into serious impor tance, the army of England would not be employed in coercing the Christian subjects of the Sultan. (Hear, hear, from the Earl of Aberdeen.) He trusted that the war with Russia would be prosecuted with the utmost vigour and determination, but it did not follow that they were to meddle between Turkey and her Christian sub jects. He still regretted that the status quo had not been maintained at all hazards. They had embarked in a course the difficulties of which were but little understood. They had placed themselves in a situation in whiCh they would be required to mediate between races which were hostile to each other, to govern, in fact, a large popula tion without any adequate means of governing it, and though he wished to hope for the best, he was still of opinion that it would have been best not to interfere. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH believed that no thing would conduce more to bring about future compli cations in the affairs of Europe than for this country to assume the position which it had denied to Russia of protection of the Christian subjects of the Porte. How ever much he might desire that the friendly representa tions of our minister to the Porte might be continued, and be attended with still greater success, he earnestly hoped that they would not acquire the right or incur the obligation of requiring the observance of laws after they lead been enacted, especially as the predominance of the ruling nation might practically prevent the enjoyment of the laws ?assed in favour of Christians. If the Greeks really desred to obtain equality in law or in practice, they shmid recollect that it was not by insurrection that equality vas to be obtained. On the contrary, insurrec tion unde: such circumstances would create between the two racesirreconcileable hostility, and in the event of the ultimate success of the Turks, a persecution of their Christian "ellow-subjects from which they were at pre sent free. If the Greeks desired to be placed under the law in ci - cumstances of equality with the Turks, let them coin( forward together with the Turks for the pro tection of their native land against the stranger, the invader, ar.d the foreigner. (Cheers.) Let them join the Turkisi standard—let them rally round the colours of their country. (Cheers.) They might depend upon it that the best friendships were those which were formed in the hour of mutual danger, and cemented !in the field of glorious victory. If they showed themselves worthy of defending the country in which they were born—if on the field o: battle they showed equal courage with that which had been displayed by the Turks—they might be assured thst they would acquire first that self-respect, which is the best security for the observance of the law, and next, the respect of the Turks themselves ; and having fought side by side with the Turks in battle, might expect to be placed on an equality with them as subjects of the Porte. (Cheers.) Earl FITZWILLIAM agreed with the noble lord who had just spoken—that this country should not en ter into any guaranteee with respect to the Christians in Turkey. Indeed, he doubted whether at the present time it was expedient for the British Minister in Turkey to exert himself to obtain any relaxations of the ob noxious laws, lest that should have the effect of engen dering the mischievous religious feeling which it seemed to be the endeavour of the Emperor of Russia to excite in the East of Europe. After the statements of the noble earl who introduced the subject—statements the truth of which could not be denied—it was impossible to doubt that the contest in which the western nations of Europe were about to engage was a contest between civilisation on the one hand and barbarism on the other. He would even say, in spite of the preparations of Rus sia, that it was a contest between religion on the one hand and practical infidelity on the other ; for England and France, instead of siding with the enemies of Chris tianity, were uniting together in order to prevent a state of things in which barbarism and infidelity must pre vail over civilisation and religion; (Hear, hear.) The papers were then ordered. Their lordships adjourned at 5 minutes past 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COIVEVIONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BILL.

Swbtrb Vaition. SUN OFFICE, Side o'Clock. SPAIN. MADRID, MARCH 5. Lieutenant-Colonel Latorre was to be shot on the 4th, in the citadel of Jaca. (The _Herald() says that he has been shot near Saragossa.) The 150 soldiers who gave themselves up at Ilecho await the sentence of the court-martial. All the sergeants went across the French frontier. Two hunred and eighteen concessions of mines in Spain were granted in the course of last year ; of these 91 were in the province of Almeria, and 87 in that of Murcia. At the last public bidding for the sale of Redeem able Debt, 8,240,845 reals of debt of first class were purchased by the Government, at 7 98 to 8 18 per cent. ; 8,508,060 reals of Internal Debt of second class, at 4 31 to 4 45 per cent. ; and 8,942,530 reals of Foreign ditto, at 419t0 4 23 per cent. • Several journals copy the article of the Espana respecting the recall of Senor Isturiz, but do not venture themselves to do more than direct atten tion to it. It is matter of speculation whether our Government will take a similar step, or will pass the matter over as insignificant. STATE OF TINA DE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, March 10.—The American advices received this week state that the decline in cotton had been stopped, indeed that prices were rather inclining upward. At New Orleans, the rate of freight had risen to 11-16 d. to id. per lb ; and the exchange was as low as 6to 6i. We have to report a further depression in the Manchester market. Some degree of distrust is awakened by the failures that have occurred ; and, now that war is actually at hand, the wisdom of operating with extreme caution, and thus restricting liabilities within narrow limits appears to be strongly felt. The home trade houses are more timid and backward than the shippers. They experience a great falling off in the demand for goods ; and the bad debts they are incurring render them increasingly wary in executing orders. Cloths for this branch of our trade have suffered more than others ; showing now, in fabrics for bleaching and printing, a considerable fall from the highest prices of some time ago. The India department of our mar ket is the best ; the lower qualities of shirtings, mada pollams and jacconets being so well engaged that they yield but little, while 40's, 50's, and 60's mule yarns are saleable at full rates. In reeled water twist there is a slight further bias this week against producers. Warps and pincops show the same tendency. LEICESTER, March 9.—The uncertain state of the wool and worsted market operate against production, and therefore less is doing by the manufacturer, and a further curtailment of making has taken place. The few shipping orders given out are but on a very limited scale. Lower cotton goods for the spinning trade are in good demand. Spinners have reduced worsted yarns a halfpenny per lb., and are still working short time. Wools are fiat, and there is no confidence in present prices. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of this day. ) LEEDS, March 10.—The business in the warehouses continues without alteration ; there is a fair trade doing by the shipping houses, but the demand for the home market remains dull. HIIDDASFIELD, March 7.—ln the warehouses busi ness has been pretty good, the merchants generally having been kept very busy ; but in the Cloth-hall trade has been rather flat. Notwithstanding the slight in dication to slackness amongst the manufacturers who attend the Cloth-hall, business generally is upon asound wholesome footing. ROCHDALE, March 6.—We have had very little busi ness doing to-day. Pieces are steady, and have under gone no change since last week. The wool market is much the same as it was on the previous Monday. BRADFORD, March 9.—The dulness so long com plained of still prevails, and spinnersl are unwilling buyers. Yarn—Everything is as dull and discouraging as possible ; the shippers are doing scarcely anything, and the home trade in spools shows no signs of amendment. Pieces.—There is no feature for the better to report, but the time is drawing near when activity for the approach ing season usually prevails.

THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. FOREIGN-OFFICE, JAN. 25. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint the Honourable Henry Edward John Stanley, now First Paid Attaché to her Majesty's Embassy at Constantinople, to be Secretary to her Majesty's Legation at Athens. Emperor of Russia was desirous of introducing andmain taining in Turkey. The endeavours of Russia could not be mistaken ; they were traceable step by step through a series of years. In 1845, the ambassador at Constan tinople wrote to Lord Aberdeen, stating that the efforts of the Consul-General of Russia—who, by the way, complained of persons seceding from the Greek Church —had, in conjunction with the acts of the Greek priest hood, led to certain consequences. if To this Lord Aber deen very properly replied that, the Russian Consul complained of the effects of the teaching of the mission aries, he ought to abate somewhat his own religious zeal. On a subsequent occasion Lord Aberdeen expressly stated that remonstrances must be made against these religious persecutions. In Sept., 1846, Lord Palmerston was in office, and Mr. Wellesley wrote to his lordship, detailing the atrocities perpetrated by Greek against Greek. It was true, said Mr. Wellesley, that Sir S. Canning had ob tained a promise from the Greek patriarch that the pen alties of excommunication should not affect the civil rights of parties, but that promise w as cons t an tl y vio lated. After this time Lord Cowley obtained from the Turkish Ministry a Vizierial edict of toleration, which was forwarded to Lord Palmerston, by whom a copy was laid before the late Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London. Of this document, the latter prelate spoke in t erms o f hi g h approval, say i ng that it was a full concession of their rights to all denominats of Protestants. When was such a docu ment obtained from Russia ? (Hear, hear.) A cir cumstance which happened in the latter end of 1846 was too important to be passed over. The authorities of the Greek Church cited a large number of persons to appear before the patriarch, and they did so appear one by one. Those who would not give in their adhesion to certain views then advanced were treated with the great est severity. Under the measures then taken, many Christian women and children were put in a state of excommunication ; bakers were prohibited from selling them bread, and water-carriers were forbidden to give them water. At that moment, when matters had reached their height, support came to them from a quarter from which, perhaps, but little was expected. Redschid Pacha, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, summoned the patriarch before him, told him that liberty of conscience was the rule of the Empire, and that he must desist from the course which he had been pursuing. He (the Earl of Shaftesbury) would here ask the house to permit him to turn from his main object to say a few words in praise of the noble lord who represented this country at Constantinople. Mr. White, one of the missionaries who had been in Turkey, had said of the noble lord that it mattered not who was the victim of persecution ; for, be be who ho might, the noble philanthropist was always ready to fly to his relief. To his exertions many of the measures which had for their object the alleviation of the condition of the inhabitants of Turkey was to be traced. (Hear.) Nor did his efforts cease until he had obtained a firman from the Turkish Government, whereby religious liberty was effectually secured. Up to the time of which he was now speaking, the various edicts which had been obtained were vizierial ; the measure to which he now referred was an imperial edict, under the sign-manual of the Sultan Abd-ul-Medjul himself. He begged the attention of the house to the contents of this firman, the terms of which were as complete as it was possible for them to be. It ran thus :—" To my Vizier, Mahommed Pacha, Prefect of Police in Constan tinople, when this sublime and august mandate reaches you, let it be known that hitherto those of my Christian subjects who have embraced the Protestant faith have suffered much inconvenience and distress. But in ne cessary accordance with my imperial commission, which is the support of all, and which is manifested to all classes of my subjects, it is contrary to my imperial pleasure that any one class of them should be exposed to suffering. As, therefore, by reason of their faith, the above-mentioned are already a separate community, it is my royal and compassionate will that, for the facili tating the conducting of their affairs, and that they may obtain ease, and quiet, and safety, a faithful and trust worthy person from among themselves, and by their own selection, should be appointed, with the title Agent of the Protestants, and that he should be in relations with the Prefecture of Police. You will not permit any thing to be required of them, in the name of fee, or on other pretences, for marriage licenses or registration. You will see to it, that, like other communities of the empire, in all their affairs, such as procuring ceme teries and places of worship, they should have every facility and every needed assistance. You will not per mit that any of the other communities shall in any way interfere with their edifices, or with their wordly mat ters or concerns, or, in short, with any of their affairs, either secular or religious, that thus they may be free to exercise the usages of their faith. And it is enjoined upon you not to allow them to be molested an iota in these particulars, or in any others ; and that all attention and perseverance be put in requisition to maintain them in quiet and security. And, in case of necessity, they shall be free to make representations regarding their affairs, through their agent, to the Sublime Porte." This, then, was the whole secret of the movement of the Russian Emperor. He saw that the circulation of the Scriptures and the recognition of the rights of conscience which was going on in the Turkish provinces would lead to the recognition of civil rights and freedom. He could not'place a cordon sanitatre along his frontier, and a thought occurred to him to demand that things should be remitted to the status quo ab antiquuin. He (Lord Shaftesbury) believed that if this demand had been ac ceded to, all the advantages for which Sir S. Canning had so long and so well contended would have been swept away at one blow ; he could find no reason for wonder at the imperial indignation which had been ma nifested against that ambassador, for by his acts 14,000,000 of the human race had been placed beyond the schemoc of the Russian Emperor. He felt con vinced that the Emperor had set his heart upon the object at which he now evidently aimed from the very beginning of his reign. His predecessor, Alexander, was a very different man ; the Emperor Alexander did all in his power to curb the Greek church, the Emperor Nicho las to stimulate that church for the purposes of his own aggrandisement. Alexander went so far as to issue an order that all letters upon the business of the Bible socie *s should pass free, and that the Bibles should be con veyed without cost, In addition to this he gave a sum of 15,000 roubles to the Bible societies. In a remark able speech upon the formation of the Moscow Bible So ciety, the Emperor Alexander expatiated on the benefits of these societies, of which he had enrolled himself as a member. In 1826 Nicholas mounted the throne, and one of his first acts was to suppress the Bible Society. Had Turkey ever done anything like this ? Undoubtedly not. In truth, within the last twenty years Turkey had done more for the advancement of Christianity and civi lisation than Russia had done during the 900 years of which the emperor made so great a boast. He (the Earl , of Shaftesbury) was convinced that if Turkey had done less in the cause of civilisation and freedom Europe would never have heard of the Menschikoff note or of the invasion of the Principalities. (Hear, hear.) Though we were not going to war primarily for these objects, yet we were not undertaking a war to establish a state of things adverse to all improvement. He felt quite sure that the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs would do his utmost to support Lord Stratford in his exertions on behalf of the Christians of Turkey. He could not sit down without saying that he thought the forbearance and reluctance manifested by her Ma jesty's Government to push matters to actual hostilities had been productive of the most beneficial results. (Hear.) It had secured the sympathy of other countries, above all, of that country which he (Lord Shaftesbury) always desired that England should stand well with— the United States of America. It had shown also what we thought of war—that we were anxious not to rush into it thoughtlessly, and that, even in our fallen state, we looked upon it as a last resource. But, in addition to all this, the course which had been taken showed that England came to the contest with a determination to take measurer to prevent its future recurrence. (Hear.) Seeing, then, that the country engaged in this war for no selfish purpose, but for the assertion of a great principle, it was the duty of the house, and of the nation, to offer up prayers to Almighty Provi dence to bring the contest to a speedy, a certain, and a prosperous issue. The Earl of CLARENDON—My lords, I shall ocoupy your time but for a few minutes. I rise in the first place for the purpose of telling my noble friend (the Earl of Shaftesbury) that there is no objection to pro duce the returns for which he moves, and, in the next place, to express to him my thanks for the interesting, the important, and the opportune statement which he has just made to the house with even more than his usual ability. (Hear, hear.) My lords, there is no man either within or without the walls of this house, entitled to speak with the same authority upon the subject as my noble friend, whose whole life has been devoted to the diffusion of the knowledge and the attendant bles sings of Christianity ; who is not a mere subscriber, or a general patroniser of the religious societies to which he has alluded, but is their vivifying support and their practical and laborious superintendent—(hear)—who is therefore well acquainted with the proceedings of the persons sent forth, and to state facts which are conse quently unimpeachable. I say that the statement of those facts is most opportune, and is morever calculated to allay the doubts and fears to which the noble earl alluded, and to stamp with its true character the con test in which we are about to be engaged. My noble friend characterised in proper terms the manifestos to which he alluded in the beginning of his speech, when he said that the charge brought by the Emperor of Russia against England and France—that they were taking part with the enemies, and against the pre eminence, of Christianity—was calculated to raise the doubts and anxieties to which he alluded. But those charges are only consistent with the course which has been pursued throughout the transactions of the last twelve months. Nothing, to my mind, has been more culpable, but, on the !other hand, nothing has been less successful, than the attempt which has been made to give to this war, which Russia has forced upon Turkey, a religious character. War, under any circumstances, was a grave, an unmitigated calamity ; but a religious war—a war in which men fight for their faith, in which they bring themselves to believe that their deeds are acceptable in the eyes of their Creator, is, as the experi ence of history teaches us, always accompanied by a spirit which rouses the worst passions of human nature, and affords palliations for the greatest acts of barbarism and ferocity. I say this, my lords, that it is in the last degree unjustifiable to give to this war a religious aspect, to mask the truth with religion, and to invoke the bless ings of heaven upon such deeds ; but, as I said before, I believe that this course has been attended with the fate it deserves. There is no man out of Russia upon whom it has imposed, and I believe the result has not been far different in Russia. I believe that these ex citing appeals have met with but a feeble response in Russia, not on account of want of the force of im perial will, for that is universal, not for lack of religious zeal, for no nation possesses more or carries it to a greater length—almost to the length of superstition— PRIVATEERING. Mr. M. GIBSON recalled to the recollection of the house that this day week the right hon. baronet the First Lord of the Admiralty, who was unable to be pre sent to-day, announced that he should communicate to the house the decision which the Government had come to with regard to neutrals, and also with reference to privateering. Could the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department supply the house with any information upon the point? Lord PALMERSTON said the matter to which the question referred did not concern the Government, but it required some previous understanding and communica tion with other countries upon it. In the course of next week, however, it was hoped the Government would be in a position to make some announcement on the subject. VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE. Mr. SPOONER moved the appointment of a select committee to consider of the best moans of improving the ventilation of the house, the lobbies, and the libraries, and to report thereon to the house as soon as may be : Mr. Spooner, Sir W. Molesworth, Mr. T. Greene, Lord R. Grosvenor, Mr. Hume, Mr. Drummond, Mr. Bankes, Mr. Cayley, Lord John Manners, Mr. C. Fortescue, Mr. W. Patten, Sir B. Hall Mr. Bouverie, Lord Elcho, and the Marquis of Chandos : Power to send for persons, papers, and records. Five to the quorum. Agreed to. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past 5 o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MARCH 10. MINISTERS' MONEY, &c. (IRELAND.)

TIIE PRESTON STRIKE. PRESTON, March 10.—The importation of strangers still continues, and not unfrequently the novel spectacl e is seen of the police force and fire-brigade being em ployed to escort four or five people from the railway sta tion to the depot, a distance of some 200 or 300 yards. Among the recent arrivals are a number of straw-bonnet makers from Bedfordshire. When the new hands have been allotted to those who intend to employ them, they are removed from the depot to the mills in omnibuses, guarded by policemen. Considerable apprehension has been created among the ratepayers by the introduction of strangers unaccustomed to factory labour, an d th ey have given expression to their views in the following petition, which has been adopted at a public meeting, and now lies for signature in the town : "TO THE HON. THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. "The petition of the imdersigned inhabitant householders and ratepayers of the borough and township of Preston, in the county of Lancaster,— " Humbly sheweth,—That your petitioners have noticed the introduction into your hon. house of a bill to abolish, in England and Wales, the compulsory removal of the poor, on the ground of settlement, and to make provision for the more equitable distribution of the charging of relief in unions. " That, under ordinary circumstances, your petitioners would have hailed the int ro d uc ti on of such a measure with great satisfaction ; but, under the present peculiar situa- I tion of the town, your petitioners believe that, unless the borough and township of Preston be specially exempted from the provisions of the said bill, it will bring ruin upon a large portion of the respectable ratepayers. " That the present extraordinary condition of the town arises from the importation of a larg e number of unskilled pauper labour ers , b roug h t i nto the wn and located at the instance of a combination styling itself the `Associated Masters of Preston.' " That the respectable members of the before-named combination, acting under the style or denomination of the ' Associated Masters of Preston,' binds each of its members by a bond to obey all orders passed by a majority of its members, failing in which the respectable members render themselves liable to a penalty of 5,0001. each. " That the unskilled paupers now being introduced into the town of Preston by the before-named combination will, under the proposed measure for the abolition of compulsory removals, ultimately become irremoveablo paupers charge able upon the poor's funds, and thereby increase the poor rates of the township of Preston to a most alarming extent, and bring to want and beggary a large body of those rate payers who are now independent. " Tht.t your petitioners therefore pray your hon. House to insert a clause in the said m easure specially exempt ing from its operations the township of Preston, and thus avert the impending ruin which, without s i achexez eg t i i r on will fall upon the town by the flood of pauper now being imported into it from the distant counties of England, in addition to a large number of paupers from Ireland. " And your petitioners will ever prey: SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
