t om ma e mal prosperity of Germany would be entirely de stroyed, and Austria would become, not the ally, but the vassal of Russia. True it is that there are some German Powers who still look with awe at the imaginary omnipo tence of Russia, and who seem to wish to derive a guarantee from her for their future existence ; but Austria has not shared in this ignominious feeling. Had she done so, neu trality would not have been her line. She must have been Compelled to take part with Russia, not, I repeat, as an inde- Pendent ally, but as a vassal. But Austria, and Prussia too, repelled the demand that was made on them by Russia by v 7 'ay of convention, and from that moment a separation look place between Austria and Russia, which is a matter of no small importance, because it has always been sup posed that Russia, having a claim on the gratitude of Aus tria, would possess that influence over Austria which my sroble and learned friend described. But Austria did not 'field to any such influence. She had gone with us. She had declared that she agreed with us, and she supported our summons to Russia to evacuate the principalities. Therefore, I think that there was no reason to apprehend that Austria would remain neutral in this contest. But I know that it has been said that Austria has not moved with that vigour and rapidity which was called for by our intervention and by the possible necessity of the case. But I w'euld only call upon your lordships to place your selves in, the position of Austria, and to remember that up . to.the close of the year 1853 she did not believe in th t e o p t es e sibili:ty of a war. She trusted to the assurances and h Frio - A(11y feelings of Russia. She believed that wishesher and an her interests would not be disregarded by Russia, aea eat i . i'nat the Emperor of Russia would not turn or of to her entreaties. She did nut think that the E a rn ser Russia would abaudon his conservative c h a rac l e e e e n m i a u n s ii r b e i: himself the disturber of the peace of ""lOre'redVinto th t ese member also the censiderittians—that the hal il.e'Llipnegrso:•v which c e h kustria had a strong Personal regard and respect for .11 11 eror of Russia, and the between that he had to weigh, with reference P to the future, the consequences to himself and his peoplethe con el usi .on o f a t rea t y o f alliance with Russia on the on e h an d , ant', a treaty of alliance with the Western Powe rs on t h e her.o' W e s h ou ld a lso bear in mind, th a t an a l liance with the Western Powers was , on the part of Austria, nothing less than a com plete revolution--a change o f policy so great as w as not to be expect e d. B ut, as I said before, Austria readily concurred in all the changes and in. all the onward movements which had been made, and when the Emperor came to deal with the inadmissable propositions of Russia, and was not able to discover in them any assurance that the object of the Emperor of Russia was peace, he gave orders that an army of 30,000 men should be concentrated between Transylvania and the bore:lens of Wallachia, sad he formed a treaty with the Porte that he should send troops into Servia if the Russians entered into the principality. At that time, indeed, the Emperor of Austria was disposed to act snore vigorously ; and he would have concluded a convention between the Four Powers, but obstacles which were insurmountable prevented him from doing so. He, however, did agree to the protocol of the 9th of April, which embodied all the terms that had been agreed upon by the other powers. About the same time Austria and Prussia agreed to a treaty of alliance offensive and defensive, which had re ference solely to German interests, affecting, therefore, the other States of Germany, whose support and assistance it was intended to invite. But there was an additional article which accompanied that treaty, and which was of a more extended view. By that additional article the two Powers bound themselves to demand that no onward move ment should be made by Russia in sending forces into the Turkish territory. &Lord LYNDHURST asked whether that additional article had been laid before Parliament ? The Earl of CLARENDON—I am not aware. I believe 1 it has not, and that the reason is that it was not commu nicated to the Conference. The treaty alone had been com municated to the several Governments, but it was not thought right by Austria and Prussia that that which had been withheld from the conference should be communicated to the Governments. The reason the additional article was withheld wrie that it had reference to matters beyond what imtnediateV concerned Germany, but at the same time a cony of rhe additional article was communi..ated to her Majesty's Government. This additional article of which 1 speak rave a more extended view of the parties, and it pro vided that the two powers; Austria and Prussia, should requi-ee Russia to suspend all warlike operations within the Turkish territory ; that a definite answer should be de n:wielded on these two points; and that if such an answer WS$ not return e d as s h ou ld g i ve comp l e t e security and a - t4o:acti on to the two Powers, then Prussia pledged herself that she would have her army in readiness to co-operate with Austria, and, if the principalities were attacked, then Austria. and Prussia together were to take the offensive. At the beginning of this month a summons by the Austrian Government, announcing that determination, was sent to St. Petersburg. In anticipation of the answer being unfa vourable, the Austrian Government, after communicating with her Majesty's Government and with the Emperor of the French, proposed a convention with the Porte by which Austrian troops were to be permitted to enter the principa lities, in order to occupy them as long as was necessary. Austria having stated to the English and French Govern ments that she was determined, however much her assist auce might be required, not to permit an Austrian soldier to enter the Turkish territory without having previously obtained the consent of the Sultan. At the same time Aus tria placed, at•the Porte's disposal, any number of troops that might be required for reducing the insurrection in Montenegro. She also offered that her ships should co operate with ours in order to suppress the Greek in surrection. And, my lords, my belief is that at the close of this, month, or at the beginning of the next, the Aus trian aainy, organised and fully equipped for active ser vice, will amount to 300,000 men. Now, my lords, under these. c i rcumstances, I think we may feel some confidence in the assurance of Austria, that her object and views are the same as our own, and that in the prosecution of this oflject we shall always find her. Nor can I believe that after the knowledge which Austria has acquired of Russian Policy. and after the experience she has had of Russian friesadahle—that after the vast expense she has inem-r.a, and the great risks to which she might be exposed—l say, I cannot believe, as the noble and learned lord would seem almost to infer, that she would be so wanting to her in terest and to her dignity as to conclude such a peace as that to which the hobla and learned lord has adverted— (hear, hear)--which could be noshing bet a short, hollow truce—(bear, hear)—and to which England could not be a party—(leuri cheers)--a Nace which could afford Austria no guarantee for the future, but would leave her enti re ly at the m erc y o f Russia, and leave Europe for ever after wards subject to th e p ern i c i ous i nfluence and oppressive policy of that Power. (Hear.) My noble and learned friend has asked what were the terms which would be pro- Pesed for effecti ng a peace wills Russia. My lords, I can not possibly any more thr.o my noble and learned friend; upon what terms peace can be made. That must depend upon the chances and the contingencies of war. And indeed, my • lords, if I did know upon what terms we v . ione would be prepared to make place—if I was prepteeed to sty that we would accept no other terms than s those which the noble and learned lord him self woulit accede to—l assure your lordships it would be the niosi, imprudent course I could possibly take. (Hear.) But this we know, that the policy of Russia and the power she has. hitherto possessed of carrying it out, have been and a?e, dangerous to the peace and well-being of Europe, and that both are adverse to the cause of progress and of ci. vilisation. And ire also know that the object and interest of Europa must be to curtail that power and to eh( ck that policy. We know that the means of doing it isv a novr so great and effectual, and that the opportunity is wonderfully favourable, that if we were now to neglect . le, we 'should in vain hope for its return. All Europe is riot to be - disturbed, great interests are not to be injured, the people are not to have fresh burdens imposed upon them, great sec al and commerci a l relations are not to be abruptly torn asunder, and all the greatest Powers of Europe are not to be united in arms for au insignificant result. I think you must agree that repression will only postpone the danger, and that safety can alone be found in --(Th e last word of the noble earl was lost amid the cheers that followed the close of his speech.) The Earl of DERBY rose for the purpose of making only one or two observations. The noble earl had entered into the question with his wonted vigour and perspicuity, but still he thought that the terms of the treaties which had been signed and commented upon by his noble and learned friend were of a character to cause most serious apprehen sions with regard to the course which might be pursued by two great Powers of Europe—Austria anti Prussia. With out knowing what were the precise terms of the additional articleof the treaty between those two Powers, he could not speak with any certainty`as to the policy which had been adopted by them. He thought the noble earl had been less fortunate, than usual in his attempt to explain the non-pro duction of that portion of the treaty. The noble earl had spoken as if the terms of the treaty between Austria and Prussia had been similar to what had been assented to by Engiand and France. If that had been the case, his noble and learned friend would h ave had no cause to complain. But the ease put forward by his noble and learned friend was this--that a document purporting to be the result of a con ference between Prussia and Austria had been submitted to the Government, by which those Powers declared that what ever might be the result of the war in other respects, the - whole object they had in view was that the integrity of Turkey should be maintained, but that being done, so al o ehould the territory of Russia be maintaiued, thereby lead lug naturally to the inference that if the territory of Turkey were to be secured, or rather if an engagement could be en tered into that the principalities should be evacuated, then there would be an end to a ll th e e ff orts on the part of Aus tra and P i go furth er , If after that England and France should p rusia, 11,4,aretth continue the war, then Austria and right to ate en e terms of that agreement, would have a may bothe resulr kilaY—" No ; we hare said, whatever it thus erritory of Turkey should be main tained nvlelate • further, and m i ;k e been so maintained ;if you proceed I..l:infringement upon the uussian ter titory, that is more th we cannot go with y en .

(Hear, hear.) Were we to adopt such a course, we should be guilty of a base betrayal of our duty. (Cheers.) For the future it was impos sible to permit that the Black Sea should be a Russian lake —(cheers)—or that the Danube should be a Russian ditch choked with mud and filth. (Cheers.) We must have a material guarantee for the peace of Europe, and he re joiced in the language which had been held by his noble friend on the part of her Majesty's Government. That language would give perfect satisfaction, and ho trusted that the country would see it followed up by the whole of her Majesty's Government, by acts as vigorous and deci sive as the language of the noble lord. The Earl of ABERDEEN said—My noble friend has so fully expressed the views and intentions of her Majesty's Government that little remains for me to say. At the same time I cannot help making a few observations on what has fallen from my noble and learned friend opposite. I think the speech of my noble and learned friend would have been somewhat more appropriate and in place throe months ago than at the present moment. At that time it might have been, perhaps, necessary to sti mu l a t e the in dignation and martial feelings of this country against a Power with which we were not then yet at war, but having now engaged in war with Russia, I think it was not requisite to indulge in that eloquent and protracted phillipic which nay noble and learned friend has de livered in detailing the policy of the Russian Govern ment for many years past. My noble and learned friend's speech reminded me of old times. I recollect, 25 years ago, having had the pleasure of making known to him, then sitting on the woolsack, the French Ambas sador of the day, a man of lively imagination and much wit, and the ambassador's observation to me afterwards was :—" Chancellor, do you call him? Surely, he is a colonel of Dragoons." (General laughter.) Now, it seemed to me that my noble and learned friend's speech to-night partook of the characteristic thus ascribedto him. I am most happy to see that my noble and learned friend retains all his vigour and martial energy—(laughter)—and I only beg to observe that I think his speech would have been more appropriate before we had entered into war than after we were fully engaged in it, and when we do not re quire those incentives to hostilities which otherwise might have been needed. As this war at its commencement was so strictly of a d e f ens i ve c h arac t er , I can f u lly understand the cause of that a pp aren t am bi gu ity in the ?xpi Your "s to which my nobl e an d l earne d f r i en d has referred. lroerscilssth theip s will unjustifiablerecollect that, agsr e throughout, uion of Russiathe t object g an w s t a was to Turkish territory. Such was thuenctiryeclatrhaeion cause o f o h t e_r w Ma jestyar when publishing to the co. gil t! declared y that against anu t n h j e p ust u a r . Her protect M anJe Majesty e p g o r s e e son anti, osifth,thro e a rwa u s e o n u e t e , t o h t e t i h n e t e s g t r il i t t a y n o w f t e h r e e Turkish the na n e o m b p j andr e e tth t e h e o b i e d e e t p s epn pet forward, I say, exclusively, as the cause of war. There fore, it never occurred to provide against Turkish con quests on the Russian territory. Our object, and that of Europe, in all these protocols and engagements was to preserve entire the territory of Turkey and the independ ence of the Sultan. Consequently, in reciting these ob jects, there might be, no doubt, an ambiguity in confining the objects of war to those points to which I have ad verted, and in not having in view the possibility of any en croachment on the Russian territory. But that does not follow the least in the world from any engagement to which we are parties. Austria is an independent Power, and most happy have we been that Austria has enga g ed with us so far as sh e h as d one; b ut if Austria refuses to go fur ther than those engagements, to which we all four have been parties, what power have we to compel her to do so ? Austria is acting now both with a view to consult her own iaterests and the general interests of Europe. Austria is now listening to the advice of that veteran and able states man—(hear, hear)—whomm y noble and l earne d f r i en d eu logi:ed, andl have no doubt will be guided by him, and by a due regard to her own interests and the great interests of Europe. Therefore I attach no weight to the apparent am biguity to which my noble and learned friend referred. As to the conditions with which we should be satisfied, on the conclusion of war, told the objects which we should have in view, it would be both premature and unwise to pretend now to decide. blrnoble and learned friend, to be sure, has given the Emperor of Russia due notice that he had better lose no time in fortifying Sebastopol, for my noble and learned friend has already announced his desire to lay his hand on that stronghold,-and I dare say his Majesty the Emperor will follow my noble and learned friend's advice. (Laughter.) But the conditions for the termination of hos tilities are, I say, those which can only be described by the expression—" a just and honourable peace." Now that must depend in a great measure on the progress of the war. If it should happen that you find the Russians at Constantinople it is perfectly clear that the conditions of peace may be very different from what they might be if the allies find them selves at St. Petersburg. Therefore, the whole course of negotiations must be based on the progress of events. All I can say is. that at all times I shall advocate an honourable ' peace, tdavu6h bout uu ontairing the great objects we have in view—the security, integrity, and independence of the Porte, and, as far as reasonable, what is called the security of Europe which, however, I cannot say I feel to be very much in danger by the chance of Russian aggression. For let me rewind my noble and learned friend that when that disastrous treaty of Adrianople to which he refers. was con cluded, at a time when the Russian troops were within 50 miles of Constantinople —a treaty, I admit, to he 'nest onerous and disastrous —still no acquisition of Turkish territory was made by Russia. (Intimations of dissent.) Two or three small ports iu Asia were taken possession of by Russia (hear, hear), but no t an i nc h o f terr i tory i n Europe ; a n d the principalities were evacuated. [An ex clauettion of " the Danube ."] The Danube?—No doubt, I have already expressed my opinion in this house with regard to the treaty of Adrianople ; and no one has ever described the disastrous and onerous nature of its condi tions more strongly than myself. (Hear, hear.) But I say, considering the position at that time of the Russian army, which was almost at the gates of Constantinople, that treaty did not show any great desire of territorial ag grandisement. And what happened since that treaty was made, 25 years a go ? Si nce that moment has Russia ac quired a single inch of Turkish territory ? Has Russia any hostility to Turkey at all ? None in the world. The only interference that Russia has had with Turkey has been to save the existence of a Turkish empire by sending a Russian army to Constanti nople to protect it against Egyptian invasion. That is all that has happened since the treaty of Adrianople. There has been no war, there has been no aggression, but only a single service, rendered to Turkey by Rus sia. I think that if we can Bemire tranquility for 25 years to come we shall not do amiss ; and that ought to be the object we should have in view. I quite agree with those who, notwithstandin g they maave been led away by th e excitement of the moment y at h the commencement of hostilities, still think that we ought never to close our ears to the voice of peace ; and I, for one, so long, or as soon as over I see the prospect of a just and honourable peace in view, shall most certainly endea vour to attain it. Now, this may not snit the spirits of those who are more bent upon hostile measures ; but it must not. be taken as implying that I am in. different to the conduct of the war. On the contrary, I venture to say, th a t th ose w h o most desire peace maybe most prepared to carry on war with the utmost vigour and determination—not to wreak vengeance on :in enemy for whom personally we can feel no hatred but to obtain with more certainty and security such a peace as we ought to desire. That is the reason and that is the motive which will induce nee to carry on the war with the utmost possible vigour —(hear, hear)—and I do trust that in carrying on war, animated by these feelings, which ought to inspire all Christian nations, we may look for the attainment of the great object, peace, in a shorter time than many noble lords think probable. (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. The Customs Duties Bill p essed through committee. The Excise Duties Bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned shortly after eight o'clock. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. Mr. BL ACKETTmoved a clause prohibiting the adminis tering any oath on admission toany office or emolument in the university or the colleges. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the clause, and argued that the authorities of the univer s by should have the decision of the question. On a division the motion was rejected by 109 to 71. Mr. JOHN PHILLIMORE moved a clause to the effect that, after the let December next, no person should, on account of his rank, be permitted to pass his examina tion or take a degree sooner than any other undergraduate. On a division this motion was rejected by 67 to 66. Mr. BOWYER moved a clause, the object of which was to restore the study of civil law and jurisprudence in the university by makinc , it imperative upon the candi date for the degree of doctor of civil law to undergo a legal examination. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER urged that the committee was not engaged in framing a system of studies for the university. The motion was withdrawn, and the bill at last passed through committee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Thursday. n.

He was sorry the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not in the house, because he perceived that the right hon. gentleman was a member of this very society, and therefore, to a certain extent, a participator in the sys tem of making loose declarations ; and what for ? He would not say it was for the purpose of absolutely defraud ing the revenue; but it certainly tended to lessen the charge which these publications would otherwise have to pay. If the act was strictly complied with these publica tions, not being newspapers, would have to pay according to weight, and would, therefore, he au addition to the public revenue. It was not for him to defend the public revenue, but both on moral and financial grounds the sub ject was worthy of attention. He therefore asked the hon. gentleman to let them see the order ; and he wished also to know if it allowed these publications to go through the post for a penny, and at the same time fettered it with the condition of requiring a false declaration? He was desi rous to receive an answer to these questions because he was acquainted with a gentleman who was anxious to avail himself of the privilege, but did not wish to make the false declaration that the publication was a newspaper when he knew that it was not. (Hear.) He wished to ask whether, if the Government were not prepared to deal with the larger quest;on, they would not settle this ? Mr. J. WILSON said that his right hon. friend accused the Board of Inland Revenue of calling on people to make false declarations, but his right hon. friend did so under a misapprehension of the real state of the case. It was true that the Treasury, on the representation of the Post-office, had so far relaxed the regulations as to permit pamphlets to be stamped as newspapers, and, being open at both ends to pass through the Post-office. But the Board of Inland Revenue had nothing to do with the matter. They said to applicant., "If you call your pamphlet a newspaper, , here are the condition s a tt ac h e d t o it s pu bli ca ti on ? ' It was for the applicant to define it and for the beard to affix the stamp. It was quite true that various publications passed through the Post-office under the character of newspapers. Nothing was more common than for private commercial firms to call their trade circulars newspapers ; have them so entered at S snierset-house, and so clatain their passage through the Post-office. When a person went to Somerset-house, all the Commissioners of Inland Revenue had to do was to see whether it was proper that permission should be given to affix a stamp, and that the party applying made the declaration as required by law. The person applying, declared not only that the publication was a newspaper, but that it was his prope r ty, an d th a t h e conscientiously be lieved that all he stated was true. It was not for the board to doubt the man's word, but the best course would be to lay the correspondence between the Treasury and the Post-office on the table, s as the right hon. member required. Mr. BRIGHT thought the hon. member for Westbury had not been at all successful in answering the question of his right hon. friend, because it was quite clear that the officer at Somerset-house must have knowe that the pub lication in question was not a newspaper. It purported to be the quarterly account of the society for providing ad ditional curates in the church of England, a society of which the Chancellor of the Exchequer and both arch bishops were members. A pamphlet published quarterly could not come under the class which our ill-defined news• paper law defined as newspapers, nor under the definition given last year. The fact was that the Board of Inland Revenue treated different people in a different manner. In this case the society could stamp, suppose 500 pamphlets for country circulation under the pretence that they were newspapers, while at the same time they were permitted to circulate their unstamped publications in town. How came it then in other cases, the Board of In land Revenue did not allow parties to act in that manner, but required a person living in the next street to stamp all his issue of what they defined to be a newspaper. It ap peared that there was one law and two applications of the law. He (Mr. Bright) thought it but fair that in all these fiscal matters where taxes were levied, they should be levied without distinction, and that the board should not exercise a kind of censorship under which publications of one class were allowed to go part stamped and part un stamped, while others were obliged to bear a stamp on every copy. The hen. member for Westbury said that the board had nothing to do with the matter, that the party applying made a declaration, and the board was obliged to receive it as valid. But did he mean to say that if a per son brought a pair of boots to Somerset-house and sought to pass them through the post with a penny stamp, the officer would take his declaration for granted ? (A. laugh.) In such a case he believed that the officer would open his eyes a little and come to the conclusion that the boots were not a newspaper. There was another point to which he (Mr. Bright) wished to call the atten tion of the Government—he meant the case of the Penny Commercial Journal, published in Dublin by Mr. Shaw. When ho had last put the question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that right hon. gentleman said that. the verdict in Mr. Shaw's favour was a bad verdict, and should undergo further consideration. But on the faith of that verdict persons were publishing who would bo liable to prosecution if it should be overturned. He hoped, there fore, that if Government intended to take any further steps in the matter their course would be explained by the At torney-General. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the matter was not in his department. It was an Irish prosecution, and of course in the hands of the Attorney-General for Ireland. It had not been brought before him, and, in the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he could not say a word on the subject. Mr. M. GIBSON reminded the hon. and learned gen tleman that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had said, that as the verdict in question effected a number of Eng lish periodicals it had been referred to the English Attor ney-General. The house then went into committee of SUPPLY. On the vote for the sum of 164,1651. for the maintenance of prisoners in county gaols and lunatic asylums, Mr. SCHOLEFIELD moved the reduction of the vote by 1001., being the salary for chaplain, on the ground that the same rule laid down by the committee ought to be ex. tended to all creeds. Colonel GREVILLE complained of the insults that were offered in that house to the Roman Catholic creed, and urged the committee to take a wider view of the question. Mr. CHAMBERS contended that the State could make for prisoners only the same religious provision that it made for those who had not forfeited their liberty. Sir G. GREY said that the sum in question was given between the Roman Catholic and the Protestant chap lains, and that if this vote were refused the unhappy indi viduals in the asylum would be deprived of all religious consolation. Mr. H. DRUMMOND said that the Government had no right to provoke such discussions while blowing but and cold on the subject of Catholicism and Pretestanism. After some observations by Mr. Phinn, Mr. Adderley, and Lord Seymour, The committee divided, and the numbers were— For the original vote 246 For Mr. Scholefield's amendment The CHAIRMAN then put the vote in its original form. In answer to a question by Colonel DUNNE as to certain allowances made to Ireland for county rates at the time of the repeal of the corn laws, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was quite unable to inform the hon. and gallant member as to the disposal of moneys long antecedent to his assumption of office. He would suggest to the hon. and gallant gentle man the propriety of moving for a return of the moneys voted for the purposes alluded to, and the manner in which they had been disposed of, and then he would lay the foundation for any further proceedings which he might think it necessary to take. That would be much more convenient than renewing discussions of this kind without the house being in possession of any information whatever on the subject. Colonel DUNNE said he would move for the appoint ment of a committee at the first opportunity. After a few remarks from Mr. Macartney, Mr. W. Wil- Hams, Mr. Fitzroy, and Mr. F. French, the vote was agreed to. A vote of 92,7651. for the expenses of transportation of convicts was agreed to. On a vote of 312,702 for convict establishments in the colonies, Mr. G. DUNDAS desired an explanation of the disparity between the cost of convicts at Gibraltar and in Western Australia, the latter being more than double that of the cavt former. hoincsa re M ettt nsfrrai..e:nynAPetrwtDE, were a E lieinnts L Etti;s s pi eamLrilvi.o(vEl Australia Western oe m tr nnbh i eou g auAt h g t buah , ystst p thtGr e hoat r iheul h biala a rGat p a bwt , vaerea b rgrs e nel coi not why m theor more than in Gibraltar. Mr. PEEL stated that provisions were much dearer in temah a snse c eruy e n : atuat u nws. b n ee t rr e es d oi f u r cc 00 b nn y : Australia, and considerable expense had been incurred in the construction of prisons. After some further explanations, the vote was agreed to. The next vote of 4,042/. for civil establishments in Ber mudas was agreed to without observation, but it appeared members had been unable to follow the Secretary of the Treasury, and there was a general exclamation of " Where are we ?" Mr. WILSON said it was the first vote of No. 5, the education votes, No. 4, having been post , oned for a few days, as stated by the noble lord (Lord John Russell). Mr. WILLIAMS complained bittorly that they had not been told that the votes were to be taken irregularly. He had intended to object to the last vote, and could only say the Government had carried it "downright surrepti tiously." (A laugh.) The hon. member proceeded to ask explanations on some matters connected with the vote just passed, which were afforded by Mr. Peel, though some what out of order. On the vote of 7,5471. for the clergy in the Bahamas and North America, Mr. ADDERLEY inquired whether or not the C o l on i a l Clergy Bill w es to be proceeded with this session? Lord J. RUSSELL said that ho could not give a decided answer to this question, as this point had not been finey determined. He, however, promised to give a more ex plicit answer upon a future day. Another vote of 9,9381. for the Indian department of Canada was agreed to, after which, upon the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, the house resumed, and the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. PUBLIC REVENUE AND CONSOLIDATED FUND CHARGES BILL. The house having gone into committee on this bill, Mr. CRA.UFIIRD rose to move an amendment of the schedules by which the salaries of the sheriffs and sheriffs substitutes in Scotland might be removed from schedule A and placed in schedule B, thus making them subject to the annual vote of Parliament. Colonel DUNNE moved the adjournment of the discus sion upon this bill. There were several important amend ments which could not be properly considered at that late hour. Mr. WILSON hoped the discussion would he delayed till Thursday, when he intended to move the third reading of the bilL He had prepared a clause to meet the objec tions of the hon. members opposite, and he would propose its insertion on the third reading.. Mr. V. SCULLY supported the motion for an adjourn ment. He intended to propose an amendment to the effect that the English judges should be placed oa the same foot ing us their Irish brethren. Mr. NAPIER also hoped that the farther consideration of the bill would be delayed. Mr. HENLEY said it had been understood, that when the house net at noon no discussion would be entered into after midnight. It was now ha!f-past 12, and really, if the debate was allowed to go on, he would advise hon. members to bring their beds with them. (A laugh.) Lord J. RUSSELL—That arrangement was only to be enforced when the house had a Morning sitting. Mr. HE NLEY —Well, we aro to meet at 12 o'clock to day. Mr. WILSON' said there was one class of estimates to be ed dfo jr.warti at that advanced hour. laid.on the table of the house which it would be impossible to dispos e of until this bill should have passed into law.

PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. MACGREGOR, Mr. BAINES, and other honourable members against the Police Bill ; Mr. FOSTER, from places in Staffordshire, against the Friendly Societies Bill ; Mr. BROOK, from places in the manufacturing districts, in favour of a Ten Hours' Bill ; Lord BERNARD, from 129 clergymen of the united dioceses of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross, against th e national system of ed uc ati o n in Ireland. WRECK AND SALVAGE BILL. On the motion for going into committee, Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR wished to know if it was proposed to make any change in the existing ap pointments of pilots to the Cinque Ports. Mr. CARDWELL said the object of this bill was to render the laws affecting wrecks and salvage uniform throughout the three kingdoms. The intention was to abolish the office of Receiver-General of Droits of Ad miralty, and the general business of the department would bo transferred from the Admiralty to the Board of Trade. The duties hitherto discharged by the Re ceiver-General would be hereafter performed by the revenue officers, which would be a saving of public ex denditure. Mr. M'CARTNEY expressed his approval of the bill if properly carried out ; but he disapproved of giving the coast-guard s th e p owers con t emp l ate d b y this bill, ° as he contended they ought not to have any interest in wrecks and salvage. Sir G. PECHELL thought it would be a very great satisfaction to know that the Admiralty should no longer have the appointment of receivers of droits of the Ad miralty, and that the whole department should he under the Control of the Board of Trade. Mr. M'CANN thought persons totally independent of the Customs would be the proper persons to entrust with the duties of receivers. Mr. BENTINCK hoped that this bill would have the effect of preventing the recurrence of those disgraceful and barbarous ZSCelle3 which occurred at wrecks in this country. Mr. CARDWELL said that was one of the principal objects he had in view in framing the bill. (Hear.) Mr. HILDYARD also thought steps ought to be taken to prevent the depredations of wreckers. He mentioned an instance where a • French ship laden with wine got ashore on the coast, and the people, in stead of trying to assist her off, endangered their own lives by getting drunk upon the wine, and otherwise plundering the vessel. The captain of the ship, who was also part owner during these disgraceful proceed ings, went up and doivn the deck tearing his hair and exclaiming "Is this England" ? , Mr. V. SCULLY concurred with the hon. member for Drogheda (Mr. M'Cann) that persons unconnected with the Customs would be preferable for Performing the duties of receivers. Mr. LINDSAY differed with the last hon. member, and thought the bill would effect a most desirable change, by transferring the duties of receivers to officers of the Customs and of the Revenue. At the same time, he thought it would not be just to take their offices from the present holders of them, who had hitherto discharged their duties well. He would offer no opposition what ever to the bill going into committee. Sir J. TYRELL said, from the Situation of his estates, on the east coast, where he was the lord of the manor he was interested in having the largest possible amount of wreckage washed ashore, but at the same time he was fully alive to the existing abuses,. and he hoped the tribunal to be established under this bill would be so constituted as to secure a vigilant super vision over all wreckage. Mr. CARDWELL said it would. Mr. HORSFALL thought the bill was a great im provement on the existing law. After some further discussion the house went into committee. Mr. CARDWELL said he was happy now to be able to reply to the observations of several hon. members as to the objects of the bill. He could state that one of the most particular objects of the bill was to prevent the recurrence of those scenes at wrecks which were a scandal to so great a commercial country as this. With respect to the persons who now held the offices of receivers of droits, those persons were appointed solely at the plea sure of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and he could state that while it was not his intention rudely to dis place any of those persons who now held those offices, he had, in an interview which he had with those persons, he was most careful to impress upon them that they had no vested right in those offices. The various clauses were agreed to after some dis cussion, and the bill passed through committee, after which the house resumed. TOWNS IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. Th house again went into committee on this bill. Mr. BOWYER moved an amendment on clause 7 to limit the rent of persons rateable under the bill to 51. [nstead of 81., as proposed by the bill. A division took place, when the numbers were— For the amendment 22 Against it 9l-69 So the amendment was lost, and the clause was agreed Clauses up to 22 were agreed to, when the Chairman reported progress, and the house resumed. CONVICT PRISONS (IRELAND) BILL. Sir J. YOUNG moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. M`CARTNEY thought the bill ought not to be read a second time till its provisions were more fully explained. The further consideration of the bill was adjourned to Thursday next. Mr. BOUVERIE then brought up the report of the committee of supply, •which was agreed to. The sitting was suspended at 4 o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S-OFFICE, JUNR 17.

Leeds shares have been very largely dealt in ; Dovers, London and North-Western, and Midlands have also sold freely. Higher rates have been given, and the market closes firmly at these increased quotations. BIRMINGHAM, JUNE 19. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The railway share market was much excited to-day, and a considerable amount of busi ness was done in private, but not reported. Some stocks went up 3/. per share. London and North-Western, which were quoted on Saturday at 99i, stood this afternoon at 1021 to 103; Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, at 32A. ENGLISH GLEE .AND MADRIGAL.—The second con cert of this delightful and popular association took place at Willis's Rooms yesterday morning, and the attendance was even a more crowded one than at the first rdunion. The same singers are engaged through the series, and consist of principals—Mrs. Enders sohn, Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. H. Phillipps. The assistants consist of the Misses Phillips, Bamby, and Byers, and Mrs. Goldsmith, as soprani ; for contralti, the Misses H. Phillips and Cummins, and Mesdames Beale and Grundy. Te nori, Messrs. M. Smith, Cummins, and Foster. Bassi, Messrs. H. Bamby, Beale, Frost, Simmons, and Day, From long practice and a full knowledge of each other they sing admirably together, and, though we have heard it regretted that the assistants were not some what more numerous, yet we doubt whether a richer effect would be produced, and whether the ensemble, the great charm in ,these performances, would be so well se cured. The glee of "Blow gentle gales," was charm ingly given. " Where the bee sucks," is an ever-en during favourite, and the quaint old madrigal, whether truly ancient, we doubt, of " Who shall win my lady fair," merrily closed the fi rs t p ar t. M r. J . L . H atton filled up the interval very agreeably by his masterly performance of Covelli's Concerto in F. The gem of the second part was this pleasing composer's "Sweetly blows the Western Wind." The so justly admired glee by Lord Mornington, "Here in cool grot and mossy cell," was deliciously rendered by all the voices ; and Sir R. Bishop's glee and chorus, "Now tramp o'er moss and fell," brought one of the most pleasing concerts of the season to a rapturous close. 1 1 .41..munts IN Tug WORSTED TRADE.--The rumour,: which had for some days been in circulation of some important failures in Yorkshire connected with the trade of Bradford are verified. The most extensive failure that of Messrs. Thomas Taylor and Sons, manufacturers, of Ovendon, near Halifax. The house has stopped pay ment, with liabilities to the extent of 100,0001. The credit of other houses is, of course, involved in the failure ; and independe n tly o f i t, severa l other concerns are in difficulties. One house, with liabilities to the ex tent of 18,0001., has just compounded with its creditors for 13s. 4d. in the pound. The works of another at Wakefield and Bradford are Also stopped. The debts in this case are 12,0001. During the week, likewise, five other firms in Bradford have been under the necessity of calling their creditors together. In two of these cases an arrangement has been effected with the creditors, and in all of them the liabilities are not of very large amounts. The trade of the town is in an exceedingly slack and unhealthy state ; some of the factories are only working short time. FIRE AT MESSRS. SEARLES' THE BOATBUILDERS.— Last evening, between the hours of 6 and 7, considerable alarm was caused in the immediate vicinity of Astley's amphitheatre, in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a fire in the premises belonging to Messrs. G. Searle and Sons, boatbuilders to Her Majesty, in Stangate, Westminster road. A number of men were engaged framing a dumb-lighter belonging to the Westminster bridge (Middlesex side) Steamboat Pier Company, when by some accident, the vessel which was lying high and dry on the shore, immediately under the extensive work shops and offices, took fire and the flames rapidly tra velled from the head to the stern of the vessel. Owing to the praiseworthy exertions of the various hands em ployed on the premises and different wharfs near, the fire was prevented from destroying the workshops, although at one time the flames were rising over the principal buildings containing manufactured stock of great value. THE FIRE AT CHATHAM DOCKYARD.— Not the slight est trace can be obtained of the origin of the fire which broke out in the saw mills at Chatham on Sunday morn ing, the 18th instant, the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Although a considerable loss has been sus tained, it must be a source of great consolation that the wind was very moderate at the time, as, had it been blowing strong, a very serious fire would have been the result, as it is believed that nothing could have saved the other valuable adjoining buildings, especially the building sheds, as the little wind that was at the time was blowing in their direction, and if they had caught fire the loss of several fine new screw steam-ships of war would have taken place. The fire was discovered -about five o'clock a.m., and is supposed to have been burning for some time, as the roof of the building fell in shortly after the discovery that a fire was raging within. On the alarm being given, the troops of the garrison next for fire duty, and the Royal Sappers and Miners and Royal Marines, with other parties of the provisional battalion, were soon on the spot, and ren dered valuable service in ct.njunction with a great num ber of workmen, by removing a large quantity of valu able timber, which was by that means saved from in jury. The working parties remained in the yard until not a particle of fire could be seen. The commandant of the garrison was so well satisfied with the exertions of the troops, that he early in the morning cancelled the previous day's orders with reference to the day (Sunday) parades for church, and consequently there was no di vine service for the troops, as they. were allowed to re tire for the rest of the day. LICENSING OF VESSELS.—It having been represented to the Commissioners of Customs that their regulations in respect to the licensing of vessels and boats are in sufficiently known to parties interested, they have directed copies of the regulations to be forwarded to the principal officers of customs of the several ports of th e kingdom, which they are to deliver to the master, owner, or other person who may apply for the same. They have also been directed to affix copies in the Custom -house and other conspicuous places in their respective ports for the information of the public. MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT BURY.—An in quest was held at Bury, Lancashire, on Friday, on the body of Mary Ellen Kay, an infant, to whom poison had been administered by her m o th er. It appeared that the prisoner had procured some mice poison, a sma ll portion of which she administered to deceased, a larger portion to an older child, and swallowed the greater portion herself. Mr. Fletcher, surgeon, saved the mother and eldest child, but the infant died. A verdict was found of wilful murder. PIRACY IN THE ARCHIPELAGO.—SMYRNA, JUNE 7. No positive acts of piracy have been heard of lately, ex cepting on small craft near Santos, Rhodes, 'Sze., where numerous piratical boats are out. The great risk in the Archipelago seems to be when vessels get becalmed, when they are in danger of being attacked by small boats from the land and the islands. The Dutch schooner of war Macassar gives convoy to vessels of that flag on the 11th and 12th inst., as far as Cape Matapan, and of this protection English vessels ready for sea will avail them selves. Hitherto the masters, when sailing three or four together, have considered themselves sufficiently safe and prepared. [ADvEu nsEmENT.J—Holloway' s Ointment and Pills effect Extraordinary Cures of Ead Legs.—Mrs. M'Gill, of Steel-street, Dublin, suffered fur many years with a fearful had leg, which broke out soon after her confine ment ; there were several wounds in it, and the swelling was enormous. She endured the most excruciating pain both day and night ; and the general opinions of the medical attendants were that it could not be cured, therefore amputation was the only remedy ; however, bad as it was, Holloway's Ointment and Pills were re sorted to, and these miraculous medicines soon produced a wonderful change 'for the better, and ultimately effected a sound and perfect cure.—Sold by all drug. gists • and at Professor kiolloway's Establi4ment, 244, Strand, Loudon, SHIPPING INTELLIG - E Neil LIVERPOOL, JUNE 19.
