_ • w e Emperor of Russia will not allow in any dominion of 1 his awn. (Hear, hear.) We know that, during the reign of the present mperor of Russia, the circulation of the Bible, which was so much promoted by the Emperor :Alexander, haabeen stopped ; so that if the hon. member for the West Riding were to have his way, and. the Em peror of Russia, whose acts the h l on. gentleman seems always ready to palliate, wore to be allowed apursue his designs unchecked, you would,• perhaps, see Christian wor ship in St. Sophia ; but you would also see a varnish of civilisation, which would ktfar worse than barbarism. I have said that this waryra cauied, not for anY speculative object, but because there-was MI aggression of the Emperor of Russia against his neighbour. The, hon.' member for Manchester,' in. a letter whieh ho has circulated, not being ahle to justify such a fact t 'as that the,. Emperor of Russia sent a note to Constaniiinople, \ said, "aStgu . 1 the note I dictate, or your territories will _be occupied in eight days"—the honlmerober, finding ita. difficult mat ter altogether to jitstify, says that, my noble friend and I a were just as bade/for we sent a fleet td', Athens, with menace to bombard it. That not eiactly the The fact is, that some English,: subjects in Greece tr truth. been injured in their, property - A, and our fle et was sent to Athens to institute a blockade and interr upt ~e od. B trade until at the pecuniary losses of outa`on,bjects were m ad e _ ) as to bombardment it was neve r thought of. (Hear. have made these remarks:becausethe hon. member for the 'West Ridine, at the beginningsof this discussion, iu a very fair and temperate speech, I must say,Nmade observations as to the nature of the war, and the reasons,why he cannot concur in it. That question and others will come under discussion hereafter. All I wished to do on the present occasion -was, to point out that there must be some secu rities for peace; a nd, let me say, having sated at the end of the discussion on the first night of the session, what were the general provisions of the treaty with Austria, I think the house will have found that I did not deceive them on that occasion—that I did not overstate those provisions. If I had done so, I should have been justly charged with attempting to mislead ; but I made no at tempt to give an exaggerated notion of the provisions of that treaty. But in stating this, I must now repeat that my belief is, that although not contained in the literal terms of the treaty, Austria will find that as we do not propose to diminish the territories of Russia—as we propose to leave her a great and powerful nation, and only seek for securities which are as necessara , for Austria as they are for England and France—(hear, hear)--in order to obtain a durable peace, that unless Russia shall consent to such terms—to such fair and moderate terms as it will be our duty to propose whenever the Minister of the Emperor of Russia shall declare that he is desirous to enter into negotiations —I feel convinced that if those terms are not accepted by the Emperor of Russia, that if he is of opinion that that great scheme which was begun in the reign of Catherine, if not before—that great scheme which is to end in adding Turkey to the dominions of Russia, must be persevered in —if he is of that opinion we shall, before the commence ment of the next campaign, have the alliance of Austria with us in a defensive and offensive treaty. (Hear, hear.) I state to you that Austria is not literally bound to any such course, but I think she is morally bound by the sti pulations into which she has entered. I have always been of opinion that we might be obliged to have a long and protracted war unless Austria was a party with us in that war; but I do believe that if Austria joins we shall have, before long, the accession of Prussia, and we shall be in a position to say that the war will not be protracted, and that at will be ended by a satisfactory, durable, and ho nourable peace. (Hear, hear.) I could not avoid making these explanations. I have nothing to add on the subject of the bill now before the house. I have not heard any new arguments tonight. It has been successfully de fended; and I believe that, before long, it will be admitted to be a useful and efficient measure. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he was surprised that the Go vernment had delayed to se late a period to offer any reply to the able and striking speech of the boa. m ember for the West Riding. He did mot intend on the present occasion to enter into the questions which had been raised by the hon. member for the West, Riding ; but they were ques tions whieh, at some more fitting season, must be discussed, and submitted to the decision of the house. But the noble lord had referred to his Russian despatches, and he (Sir J. Pakington) could not pass that subject by without ex pressing his dissent from the views of the noble lord, and repeating the opinion which he had always entertained, that those despatches of the noble lord had tended in a great degree to mislead the Emperor of Russia with regard to the real temper and intentions of the British Govern ment, and thereby had been one cause of the war in which we were engaged. The noble lord had alluded very briefly to the bill which was now before the house, but he had said that honourable members on his (Sir J. Pakington s) side of the house objected to the employment of foreign troops. The noble lord was mistaken on that point. Their objection was not to the employment of foreign soldiers, for we were at present fighting aide by side with foreigners—(hear, hear)—but it was to the employment of mere mercenaries, who, without any interest in the strnggle, were to be hired by this country to fight its battles in the Crimea. What had fallen from the noble lord on this bill had not, in his (Sir J. Pakington's) opinion, affected in any degree that great triumph in debate and argument which had distinguished the oppo sition to the proposal of the Government. The noble lord had taken with him a reluctant majority into the lobby ; but, in point of argument, the victory of those who dis liked the measure was signal and complete. (Hear.) He could not allow this debate to close without expressing his extreme regret for the painful and unfair position iu whichthe Oppo s iti on h a d b een p l ace d by th e G overn me n t short in session tothis qu es ti on . Th e y h a d come u p t o thi s ssion 'willing and anxious to give the Government their support. Let the bonne remember that w hen thelate Government left office there was no • p ros pect of a war, but from the hour when the coalition seemmeat came into power, the danger increased from day to day, and from _the manner in which the negotiations were conducted by the Government, the country had been involved in this dreadful struggle with the great empire of Russia. They (the opposition) had no desire to interpose in the conduct of the war further than was necessary fur the safety of the country. All parties acknowledged that it was essential to strengthen the military force of the country. They were willing to do so, and they came ex pecting that the Government would propoze some plan in which they could concur without difficulty or hesitat:o.i. Eat dining this short session the Government had submit ted measures so objectionable, so ill prepared, that they had found themselves in this dilemma—either that they must, however unwillingly, oppose the Executive, or shun - don a duty which they owed to their country by support ing measures to which they objected. They had with rc• - leetance, but in the exercise of a strict Parliamentary right, criticised the measures of the Government, and for doing this they had been charged with faction. He though, that a most unjust charge. Bat the noble lord the Presi dent of the Council had imputed to the right lion member fur Buckinghamshire that he gloated-over the prospect of disaster. The house must not suppose that he (Sir J. Pakington) hid any intention of defending his right hon. friend from such-a charge. He would no more condescend to &lead him from that charge than his right hon. friend would condescend to notice it, but he must complain that such language should be used in the house. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord in making this charge, which was not ono of error or political mis.ake, but of baseness and of disloyalty to the Queen, had exceeded the fair limits of debate. (Hear, he.sr, hear.) But what must they think of a cause which required such advocacy? It reminded him of the advice which was given to young lawyers when they had nothing to say—to abuse the plaintiff's attorney. He would now refer to the provi sions of the bill. In the commencement of July her Ma jesty's Government determined to attack Sebastopol—they determined to change the character of the war—to make it offensive instead of defensive. He did not say whether their decision was wise or unwise ; but surely it was the duty of the Government to take every means to ensure the success of that attack. A great deal had been made of a passage in the speech of the Duke of Wellington upon the Militia Bill, because the noble duke, in that passage, al luded to the fact that, in the Peninsula, a considerable portion of the British armies had consisted of persons not British-born subjects. But what was the tendency of the opinion as expressed in that passage? First, that if they wished to have an army of reserve, they must organise it in time ; secondly, the extreme importance of a military force. And the noble duke alluded, in distinct terms, to its value, as exhibited by the conduct of the new Hano verian Militia at the battle of Waterloo. It seemed to him (Sir J. Pakington) to be one of the strongest passages that could be quoted to show the want of prudence on the part of the present Government. Did they begin in time to organise the militia ? Did they avail themselves of that valuable force, the militia? (Hear, hear.) He had no hesitation in expressing his opinion that, if, in last July, when they determined to attack Sebastopol, they bad acted upon the principle thus laid down, and embodied the militia then, and taken steps to organise it in time, the house would never have been asked to pass this most objec tionable measure. (Hear, bear.) What had the noble lord said he presumed, in explanation of this want of prepara tion? He had told the house the other night, with what ho thought ho might call a fatal candour, that the Govern ment had had made a mistake, and that they had under rated the strength of Sebastopol. The country might well ask whether the Government which made such a mistake was fit to conduct a great war like the present. (Hear.) There had been many mistakes made during the last six mouths—some serious ; some had been accidental, from the novelty of their position, of which they (the Opposi tion) had taken no notice, and had refrained from criti cising. lint was the mistake as to the strength of Sebas topol one without excuse ? He could not apply the word mistake to such an error; he called it a dangerous error, for which the Government must be- held responsible. What was the conduct of the Government? They did not know its position, and therefore could not interfere to give advice. The Government, acted upon their own responsi bility ; they concluded the session ; they dispersed—one to the sea-side—another to Scotland, and the war was left to take its course, and the expedition was to go on as it boat could. Sad was the delusion, not of the people, but of the Government. The people were watchful and anxious, and, as time wore on, that anxiety increased to alarm ; but. the delusion of the Government continued through Auestst, September, October, until, at last, the events of October opened their eyes. (Hear, hear.) When the battles of Balaklava and Inkerman had been fought—when our attack upon Sebastopol had failed—when the batteries had not Produced the effect expected—when Government suddenly found themselves in the position of having brought affairs h ri Tnwant of ordinary precaution and care—to the very made and destruction—when these disco- Lititenhetia;:cen —as the Government had been impro outset, so they wore precipitate in the sequel It w „„.. num lar t u t i!nt was summoned with the greatest haste. ment befor e calat they had no intention to meet Par ha- December ; t ait r l i s- tas—they had prorogued it till the 14th to which it h a d t i nei rd3' it was summoned before the day .prorogued. Let the house and the Government remark late in December, th er l ' e ll a w t, having assembled Parliament nothing for it to do but to register the bills of the othaser were three bills to be brough...°fuer:w. (Hear, hear.) There ard—one to enable the m iliti a t o volunteer for for e ig n hotme rvic e ; the Foreign En di‘cu,,,eaen,ll a third, which listment Bill then before th enable to which he Lad been announced, but little wished briefly to. refer, viz , the bill to the Govern. merit to seed re,.(e.ments which el.ould volunteer to occupy s t r e ri e r a c o d n s f o e r n t t h i the garrisons T e l the Mediterramos.i. He believed it would m be ili m ti o a re lood u i niziste be t coaus o e c , ctr ng th y o o se hui a purpose, th e y cou ld no t b 3 sent to the seat o f war, which it was essential the Government slio lid be at liberty to du in respect to the troops in those garris ons, and that upo n th e shortest notice. But he had furthe.n to complain of the Government, that they had prepared f;kose measures with' so little care, that they had been obliged to resort to their opponents for advice. Many of the Governm_ent's late supporters had found it necessary to join the 9pn n e o t e itien upon the present measure ; an d, indeed, he could bet ter describe them tha n as p o l i tical free lancer s of aSn,gland who were ready to enlist under any b a nner, and to wear any uniform. (Hear.) But the present measure having been shaped by the Opposition in such a manner as . . t , o , carry teat the intent isms of the G overnment, was it. a Dili which they were sibil' stifledadapting? Ho felt the impos juin ity of adding a pything new -. to the arguments which esseee-seevesereeeJseesee eseesoeoe,--, _ _ had been already used ; but he felt himself bound to state his concurrence with them, and to declare his opinion that the Government had taken an u nfortunate course in hav ing proposed a measure so repugnant to the feelings of the nation—(hear)—and humiliating to our pride as English men ; a measure, as ho believed, immoral in its tendency, and one which could only hareis ffect, to lower us n gie to all European Powers a a a n n a d dangerous idea, that the country t f h al o se e , y a e n s d of m E is u ta r k op en e , , was so weak that it could not raise troops to defend itself. •He also objected to the way in which it had been brought forward, so as to avoid discussion. It ought to have been introduced into her Majesty's Speech, but the Government was afraid of its influence upon the people. In vain had it been asked, where the men were to be obtained they . were to be officered ? but to these, and many other e n quiries, no answer had been given. The precedents of the noble lord at the head of the Government had alto gether failed. That of the employment of German troops in the American war, and many others, had warned them of what they ought to avoid, rather than of what they ought to follow. But the great argument, which the Secretary at War had employed upon every occasion, was the necessity of the case. He believed there was the strongest necessity to avoid such a measure; but the Government could show to him its necessity, he would be very glad to vote in favour of it, however objectionable it might be. But ho denied the necessity, and the Government had alto gether failed to establish it. (Hear, hear.) If there was any consideration from which they might derive Eolace under the privations of this war, it was in the gratification they must all derive from the burst of loyalty which the people had given forth. It was proved that the British heart was sound, and never *lid the people conic forward more nobly than at the present time. He believed that feom the moment war was declared, the Horse Guards had been applied to by every military man elision- to share the fatigues and honours of the campaign. The recruiting, too, had gone on with vigour. He had received a letter from Liverpool, a day or two ago, in which it is said that the number of applicants for enlistment were so great that they could not be enrolled. But had the Government availed themselves of the means at their command ? If they had, how was it that up to this time the Irish militia was not embodied ? Was the British militia even em bodied? Why had not the Government embodied them? (Hear, hear.) He believed that if the Government felt any pressure for soldiers for immediate service, there was no quarter to which they could better turn than to the Irish constabulary force. (Hear.) They were well dis ciplined and fit for immediate service. He had heard that there would be no difficulty in forming two brigades of infantry from the Irish constabulary force. Even now, by embodying the militia, they could collect a force which they might soon send to the Crimea. Did the difficulty, then, turn on what the Government said it did—viz., the want of disciplined troops for the East ? He asserted that it was possible to collect a sufficient force from the Irish constabulary and English militia. That might be done in as short a space of time as in which they would get their mercenaries ready ; for he agreed with au hon. friend who had spoken, that in a very short period an English force might be sent to the Crimea. Assuming that they had as many men under this bill as they wanted, another question remained behind whether, when they had. got the men, they could trust them ? (Hear, hear.) They must remember that the Emperor of Russia would fight us, not only with steel and with iron, but with gold. If they bought the interest of men in the way pro posed, was there no fear that their services might be bought again ? (Cheers.) They would not buy the hearts of such men. (Cheers.) They must recollect, too, that they had invaded the Russian land, that they had invaded Russian homes, and had, indeed, excited feelings in Russian hearts similar to those which had enabled the Russians to repel Napoleon from Moscow. There was no doubt, then, that the forces they would bring against us could only be met with like forces—men devoted to their country. (Hear.) Lot thorn not place reliance!, in the mercenary soldier they had engaged. Let them remember what the Duke of Wellington said of mercenary troops in tho Peninsula. He was forced to leave a large body at Lisbon, for fear, he said, they would desert hini. Let them mind they had not i to leave a large body of these mercenaries at Balaklava. Better, then, to have Englishmen oa whom they could rely. He could not help hoping that Parliament would reject the bill. He could not help hoping, too, if Govern ment carried the bill they would carry it out cautiously; but if Government were determined to employ such men, those on that side of the house would, at least, have the consolation of having raised their voices against a measure so derogatory to our national honour. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT said he did not rise to make a speech at that time of the night, but the noble lord had chosen to get up at a late hour—which, by the way, was a convenient plan with him when he did not wish anything he uttered to be answered—cries of " No, no"—but the noble lord took the opportunity of misunderstanding, as he (Mr. Bright) supposed he must not say misrepresenting several opinions of his hon. friend the memberfor the West Riding. The noble lord said that his friend desired to spread a system of propagandism over the country, but what his friend had said was exactly the contrary. (Hear, hear.) The next mirrepresentation was that his friend had struck in for a status quo. But what the honourable gentleman really had said was again . quite the con trary. He said that ho started from the position where we were at the present moment, and referred to certain assertions of the noble lord respecting proposals from Rus sia, and which'he (Mr. Bright) supposed would, in future, form perhaps the " Four Points." He could not tell how the noble lord could make the mistake had he listened at tentively to the speech of his hon. friend. Then his friend had spoken to the observations of the noble lord about the condition of Turkey. They had, over and over again, re ferred to a monstrous statement of the right bon. member for_ Tiveirton. But what did the noble lord do? Why, what he (13,. Bright) would be ashamed to do. (Cries of oh, oh.) It was all very well for lion." gentlemen w ho came down there to cheer a Minister— ( yt—r..h r from ' the Opposition benches)—to object ; but there was not a man on those benches who did not know that the noble lord was wrong when he said that the Turks had improved so much in the last 20 years. Was it not a confusion of the noble lord's of Mussulrnan with Christian ? It was nut ths Turks bet the Christians who had unproved. Was there a gentleman in that house who was not aware of the fact that the Ottoman dominions—called au empire----we.e I gradually dying out ? and lie was convinced that the two nations who had combined to set it on its let's would find it more difficult than they had ima:;ined. (Hear, hear.) Why, what did their own officers say ? (The hon. gentle- I man read a letter in which it was recommended that the I Turks should be employed in mending the roads, and ' trusted the " biutee" would not be sent to the Ci imea.) He had, too, seen a letter from au officer of distingui.lied character, in which it was said that half the men out in the East did not know for what they were fighting, and the other half prayed they were not fighting for the Turks. The only.sign of vigour they had exhibited was that in the hour of danger. They raised an army for their defence, which was now almost destroyed by the conduct of Govern ment. Another improvement in their condition was that they lied lately taken to wear trousers, but as to their commerce or their industry, no such thing really existed. There wore now twogreat empires leagued eor the support of Turkey, and it was rumoured that there was to be a third. But how stood the case ? Turkey now wanted money, but but could not get it under 8 or 9 per cent. • But Russia was an empire, against which three empires—if Turkey were one—were at war; and it was said that a fourth was to join them ; and yet the Russian funds attained on 'Change the same price as the stock of the London and North-Western Railway. What was it Government had undertaken to do? To set up the Turkish empire, an undertaking in which they must of necessity fail. They had themselves pressed tho Sultan to enter into the con test, to carry on which he was now forced to mortgage his Egyptian revenues, and that, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer could tell the house, was tantamount to a dis memberment of his dominions. So far with respect to the arguments of the noble lord. He would now like to know what the noble lord saw so worthy in the Greeks, who had been charged falsely, he believed, with setting fire to Varna, and whom it had been thought necessary to have removed from Balaklava ? Why were atterup!s made to create dislike to tie Greeks here, if the Greeks, as the noble lord alleged, were Turks? The fact was, that he was himself destroying that Turkey which he professed to defend, and smothering it in his embrace. The forcible language of the Times newspaper in reference to the com mencement of the war was sure to be realised. That jour nal had stated that whatever else might be the result of the war this was certain, that at the conclusion there would be no Turkey in Europe. The noble lord had quoted a letter which had been written by him (Mr. Bright), and which he, like many others, found not easy to answer. (Laughter.) The noble lord had referred J. what he (Mr. Bright) had said about the Don Pacifico affair; but the noble lord must know that he referred to the despatch of Count Nesselrode to Bare* Brunnow, in which ho charged England with pursuing an isolated policy, and considering her own will as right. He had now to state of that affair, that had it not been con ducted with more temper and more good sense than the question of the Holy Places had been, there might have been a war on it, and it was a question on which Russia might fairly have gone to war with England. The noble lord again misrepresented his hon. friend. His hon. friend had said—and he appealed to every gentleman in the house if it was not so—that in the present war Aus tria and Prussia had a stronger interest than England, and that he did not see why terms which Austria considered safe to herself should be refused by this country and by France. Now he (Mr. Bright) was prepared to show that there had not been a single thing in the course of the nego tiations that Austria or France agreed to, that the Govern ment of the noble lord did not refuse, and he (Mr. Bright) should therefore consider that it alone was responsible for the war. He would not go so minutely into circumstances, but should content himself with the mention of two facts. The one was, that when the French Ambassador had re ceived the instructions of the Emperor of the French not to take on himself the responsibility of pressing the Porte to refuse the Vienna note, the English Government, through Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, secured its rejection. The other fact was, that when, in September last year, terms of agreement had been drawn up at Olmutz, and that the Emperor of the French urged their acceptance on Tur key, Lord Clarendon wrote a letter, in no statesmanlike spirit, but in a contemptuous tone of expression, that he would have nothing more to do in regard to the Vienna note. On the truth of both these facts, he was ready to stake his reputation. Be the policy so pursued right or wrong, it was one adopted solely by the Government of this country. If that were true how could it be that Aus tria could engage in war for objects beyond those which she had contemplated? or that the Emperor of the French would battle for objects beyond those with which he was satisfied in September of last year ? Thero was another despatch which had never as yet been published in this country, but had lately appeared in a St. Petersburg paper, from which it had been copied in Paris, in which the Em peror of the French urged on Russia to accept the Vienna note, on the ground that it did not differ in sense from the original propositions of Prince Menschikoff. The de spatch said further—" The French Government submit it to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, with the hope they will find its sense differs in nothing from the sense of the propositions presented by Prince M enschikoff, and that it gives satisfaction in all the essential parts of it, demands. The slight variation in the form of it will not ho observed by the mass of the people either in Russia or in Ttt, key." It also stated that, in the eves of the mass, it would have all the significance which the Cabinet. of St. Petersburg wished to give it, and the Emperor Nicholas would Appear to them always as the powerful protector of their rel;gier.s faith. This despatch was similar to the termsof the Vienna note, and up to that moment neither the Governme n t o f France, nor the G overnmen t o f thi s coun t ry, b a d ever deni e df or a s i ngle instant the justice of a claim on the part of the Russian Government as against that of Turkey. And then th ey turned against their own note, and sa id th ere was a different construction put upon it. Th e whole of that s tatement was delusive ; and if h e (M r . Bright) were not in that h ouse , h e w were making giv e it a h ars h er term. He maintained they accepted thei r 4n terms war against a Governm e nt w hi c h h a d a that eof f arguing t h r y s w e ' f e rl3 eace, and he stated this only G fo o r v t a h rn e m pu e r n po t, e th the h o u se , an d w ith th e further terms from the Power at teast bound to exa c t n o with whom they were at war - than such as might give that security which was at first believed to be necessary. But if they carried on a war for vengeance, for conquest, or for the pul•pose,s of the Go vernment at home—as many a war had been carried on— they would be guilty of a heavy crime in the eyes alike of God and man. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord (Lord J. Russell) spoke very confidently that evening ; but a consi derable portion of the speech was not very satisfactory to him (Mr. Bright) hoping, as he did, for a speedy termination to the war. The noble lord would be acting a more states manlike part if, in making his speeches, he abstained from those trifling but irritating charges which he was constantly bringing against the Russian Government, such as their prohibiting the sale of Bibles, and other matters of a similar character. But, what said the right hon. gentleman, the President of the Board of Control, to the Government of our ally ? Did not that right hon. gentleman thank God that our ally could not gag oar newspapers ? (Hear.) MI this showed a littleness on the part of the statesmen of this country, when vast interests hung upon every word they uttered ; and, might be, that tens of thousands of our countrymen might be hurried to an untimely grave if the noble lord made one false step in the position iu which he was now placed. (Hoar, hear.) During the time the late terrible calamities were happening, he (the hon. gen tleman) had been given to understand there was not a Cabinet meeting. The noble lord (Lord Johu Russell) was making a speech in Camberland and another iu Brad ford, descanting upon the decline of empires; and after wards be delivered a speech at Bristol in faveur of a new history of England. If such a history were impartially written, he (Mr. Bright) knew not how the hoblo lord's conduct for the last, few months would show. (Laughter.) The noble lord, the member for Tiverton, was about the same time making a speech to the Hampshire peasantry, which overthrew the Now Testament, and disturbed the i very foundations of morality. (Laughter.) When he looked at the hon. gentlemen upon the Treasury benches, and considered all that their policy had brought about within the last twelve months, he scarcely dared trust himself to speak of them either in or out of their presence. Hon. gentlemen know what they had loot in that house. He (Mr. Bright) met the late hon. and gallant member for the borough of Frome (Colonel Boyle) a short time before that gallant officer went out, at the shop of Mr. Westerton the bookseller, near Hyde-park-corner. He asked him whether he was going out to the Crimea, and the gallant member replied that he was afraid ho should. Not afraid in the sense of personal fear—(hear)—but with a look and tone that he (the hon. member) should never forget, the gallant colonel said, " It is no light matter for a man who has got, a wife and five little children." Well, that gallant officer had found a grave; his wife was a widow, and his children orphans. (Hear.) Now, let them take that hon. and gallant member who bad sat on the opposite side of the house, the late Col. Blair. Who would not recollect his frank, manly, and ingenuous countenance. (Hear.) He doubted whether any man on either side of the house was more capable than that gallant colonel to engage the good-will and affection of all. (Hear, hear.) But the place that knew him would know him no more for ever. (Hear.) He (Hr. Bright) had specified but two gallant officers • but there were 100 officers who had been killed in battle or died of their wounds ; there were 40 who h d died of disease, and more than 200 had been wounded more or less severely ; and every post brought them the narra tive of some one or more death. There had been a ter ribly destructive war for the officers. They had been, as he (the hon. member) would have been expected them to be, first in valour as in place—(hear, hear)- and they had consequently suffered more in proportion than the common soldiers of the army. Well, then, this spread sorrow over the whole country. He (Mr. Bright) was at the bar of the other house of Parliament when the vote of thanks to the army was moved, and there were many ladies in the galleries, three-fourths of whom were in the deepest mourning. Was this nothing? In every village there were cottages to bo found in which sorrow had entered, and entered, ho (the hon. gentleman) believed, through the policy of her Majesty's Government, which might have been avoided. No one supposed that the Govern ment wanted to spread a pall of sorrow over the land ; but the least one would expect would be this—that, when such questions as the present were discussed, they would be discussed with a becoming gravity and a sense of those terrible consequences which might come to individuals and to the nation. He recollected the late Sir R. Peel, upon the occasion of some anticipated rupture with the United States, and he (Hr. Bright) could not forget the 'gravity of the countenance of that right hon. baronet, and the solemnity of his tone. He recollected even the way in which the right hon. baronet walked up to his seat in the house, and there was a general feeling at the time that he was 'weighed down by a sense of the deep responsibility which rested upon him. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Was that the case with the present Government? Was buffonery at the Reform Club be fitting a matter of this nature? Was the flippant style of speech from that (the Treasury) bench becoming states men and Christian men on a great subject of this para mount importance? It was very easy for the noble lord, the member for Tiverton, to tell him (Mr. Bright) that he was against war under any circumstances, and that if an enemy landed on our shores he would make a calculation whether it world be cheaper to take the enemy in or drive him out, and that, therefore, his opinion was not worthy of acceptance either by Parliament or the country. Don't let the noble lord suppose that he (Mr. Bright) was for a moment afraid of discussing this question upon the noble lord's own principles. Ho (Mr. Bright) understood the blue books as well as the noble lord; and after reading them from beginning to end, he said, and he said it with as much confidence as he ever spoke anything, that this war could not be justified out of these negotiations, and impartial history would teach that conclusion to our pos terity if we did not now comprehend it. He was not, and never pretended to be a statesman. That character not sure that a pure taenjoyed, and s.d v, like ehonourabletshoe was so tainted and equivocal in these days, that he was of fanoblee.e ambition lordsf or 3 w eid e o u yw l e d z rt a sh s aspire i rh r e l i to the i t ileha du emoluments o \ had not set his sails to every passing breeze ; he was a plain and simple citizen, sent to that house by one of the first constitneeeies in The empire, and his orpicniom,rnigixt. therefore, be the opinions of very many out of doors, and consonant with the true interests of those who sent him there. Let it not be said that he stood alone in the con demnation of the war, and of this incapable and giddy Administration. But if bo were alone, and if his voice were the solitary voice that was heard amid the din of war and the clamour of a venal press, ho should have the consolation which ho had that night, and which ho trusted might rest with him to the last moment of his existence a priceless consolation—that no word of his hail over tended to promote the squandering of his country's trea sure or the spilling of his country's blood. (Cheers.) The house then divided — For the third reading Against it Majority for the third reading 33 The bill was then read a third time. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then moved to substitute the following clause for clause 2 " Provided always, that the mar serving under this act shall not be employed in the United Kingdom except for the purpose of being trained, arrayed, and formed into regiments, battalions, or corps for foreign service, and except such bodies of reserve as may be kept in the United Kingdom, and which shall be kept and used solely for the purpose of training and arraying recruits, and for supplying vacancies in such regi ments, battalions, or corps ; and the men serving under this 1 act shall not be billetted or quartered on any person or per ; sons ; and that there shall not be within the United Kingdom i more in the whole than ten thousand men serving under this ! 1 act at any one time." The Earl of MARCH was at a loss to understand how in I the event of there being cavalry amongst these foreign troops, and it being desirable to transfer them from the barracks (say of Dorchester) to the place of embarkation, it would be possible to get them to that place without bil leting them on the road. Mr. S. HERBERT said that no such difficulty could I arise, as it was not in the interior but on the coast that the foreign troops would be trained. Mr. MILES was not at all satisfied with the answer, and feared it would be impossible to avoid the billet. ,The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained that in case hotel accommodation were required for these troops, it would be sought as in the case of civilians, but not by way of billet. . . .. . . ._ -------- Col. SIBTHORP renewed his protestation against the whole bill, and wished to know who was to protect the fe male ♦irtue of the country if these foreigners were to be let loose? (Laughter.) Oh, how he wished that he had the training of the Government, and though he would find them an awkward squad, he would make them do their duty. (Laughter.) The clause was read a second time. On the question that it be read a third time, The Earl of MARCH repeated his objection, and declared his conviction that unless some assurance were given that the barracks should be within one day's march of the coast, it would be impossible to avoid the billet. Mr. S. HERBERT said that the existence of railways rendered any such assurance unnecessary. There was no I barrack that, in these times, was two days' march from a seaport. Mr. BANKES approved of the clause. The clause was agreed to. Mr. L. KING moved that the following clause be added to the bill : " No officer serving under this act, when reduced, shall be entitled to receive half-pay; provided, nevertheless, that when any such officer shall be rendered incapable of military service by wounds or infirmities contracted while discharging his military duty during the period of his continuing to serve as such officer under the provisions of this act, then and in such case it shall be lawful for her Majesty to make such pro vision for such Officer as she shall think proper and necessary, so that such provision shall in no case exceed the half-pay of the rank in the British service similar to that which such offi cer shall have held at the time , of his becoming so incapable as aforesaid." Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government would have no objection to the clause being added, as it was the same as in the former bill. The clause was then read and agreed to. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE proposed to add the following proviso to clause 4 :—Provided always, and be it enacted, that at least one-third of the officers of the said 10,000 men shall be British subjects, and that none of the said 10,000 men shall remain in this kingdom above one year from the time when they shall be enlisted under the pro visions of this act. Mr. S. HERBERT objected to the proviso being intro duced. Nothing could be more inconvenient than to add such a clause, and he should therefore oppose it. Mr. F. SCOTT thought the proposition of the hon. and learned member a reasonable one. Ho would suggest to the Government that, as these men would probably be Spaniards, Germans, Piedmontcso, and others, it would be well to engago interpreters. Strangers wore ordered to withdraw, but no division took place. _ The proviso was then negatived. Mr. PARKS moved, as an amendment to the sth clause, " That this act shall continue in force until the end of tb e next session of Parliament, or until one year after the rati ~ fixation of a definitive treaty of peace, if such treaty shal I have been sooner concluded ; provided that the expiratio t of this act shall in no way affect the service of each. foreigner who shall have enlisted before this act shall ex pire." Ile trusted the Gevernment would not object to the clause. Mr. S. 11ERBERT did not think his lion. friend saw the effect of this amendment. Thu Governmant could not assent to it. The amendment was negatived without a division. The bill was then passed. Lord J. RUSSELL wished that the house should meet at two o'clock to-morrow (this day). This was assented to. The Common Law Procedure (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. SHERIFFS' COURT (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. COWAN moved an address for a return of litigated cases in the sheriff courts of Scotland, commenced subse quently to the Ist day of November, 1852, and finally de cided prior to the Ist day of November, 1853, with the sums and taxed expenses &corned for therein; similar return as to cases commenced subsequently to the lst day of November, 1853, and finally decided prior to the Ist day of November, 1854 ; return of the number of 1 cases sent to proof between the Ist dl,y of November, 1852, and the Ist day of November, 1853, in which such proof was concluded within that period ; showing the time °cm- pied by such proof in each case, and the sums paid to coin- ''. ~ tnissioners for taking the same ; similar ret urn for the s-' period between the let day of November, 1853, and the lst day of November, 1854; return of the number of cri minal cases before the sheriff courts of Scotland in which St the panels pleaded guilty, for the period between the Ist 1' day of November, 1852, and the Ist day of November, 1853, and the sums charged and paid in Exchequer on 5c account of witnesses in such cases ; and similar return for ri the period between the let day of November, 1853, and the Ist clay of November, 1854. 3] FAIRS AND MARKETS (IRELAND) BILL.
