CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. It is generally thought that tee Money Market Nv ill sho r tly ex hibi t greater fi rmness, ow i ng to t h e Introduction of foreign loans, which will have the effect of augmenting the exportation of specie. Other influences are also at work which will tend to stitnunite the demand for accommodation. The operations to-day are df.scribed as active, and the fates have slightly advanced, the charge for first °ass bills in the open market being quite equal to the minimum at the Bank of Enuland. The committee of the Stook Exchange have ap, following special settling days in the si,ares of the undertAiogs. viz.. Wednesday, 18th March, :n the Union Marine Insurance Company, d ealings to be marked in the utneiii lists; Friday, 20th March, in tile Shires of, the L :ndon, Birming ham and South St , ffordshire 13 , -knl-z, also to be marked daily ; and Nova Scotia Land and Gold Crushing &c. Company, which is nbt, to be marked at present. The Shannon, which left to-day with the West India mails, conveyed £6,600 in specie. La Plata has arrived horn the West Indies with X 361,707. The New It✓lian Loan has been dealt in to-day Qt 1 pretn., and it is understood that a large tlumber of subecriptions have been already sent in to Messrs. Rothschild. The total amount of the operation is £28,000,000, of which £3,000,000 is to be offered in Paris, £3,000,000 in London, and £2,840,000 in Turin, making an aggregate or 1.8 840,000. Of the balance, £19,160,000, essrs, Rothschild have agreed to hold £8,000,000, the Italian bankers £3,160,000, and the remainder, na mely, £8,000,000, will be retained by the Italian UOVe rn ment for appropriation at some future period. Allowing for the interest accrued and the discount offered for prepayments, the price to subscribers is r educed to about 69k. Business in the Fureign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has not been .41 7 animated. Sugars, tea, and rice have re rnained without alteration in prices, but coffee has °lightly advanced. Saltpetre continued in steady request, while a slight improvement has taken p l ace in th e p r i ce o f t a ll ow f or b ot h presen t an d forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. 4 ,,,,At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's Kueg ram, the 3 per Cent. French Rentes were e st 80c., 68f. 85a—heavy. I decline of 1. per cent. took place in the market O r Public Securities this morning, and no subse quent alteration has occurred, Consols being 928 lor transfer and 924 for the account. The pre /ining heaviness is partly due to the introduction °f Turkish Loans, which, it is thought, will hereafter lead to a large exportation of specie. T he New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are :rip at 901 I, and there has been a dealing in the 30 Years' Annuities at 144. A decline has taken race in India Stock, which is now marked 227 ;s 29 , but the 5 per Cents. exhibit steadiness at at f. The 54 per Cent. Enfaced Paper con tines firm at 112, and the 4 per Cent.

The Earl of AIRLIE asked the Under-Secretary for War whether it was the case that 100 tons of gunpowder were stored in Edinburgh Castle, and if not, what was the quantity usually kept there. The noble lord said a very active correspondence had lately been going on in Scotland relative to the amount of gunpowder stored in Edinburgh Castle, and one of the writers stated that in the event of an explosion taking place, not only would great danger be done to the Castle, but to the town itself. He did not think there was the slightest necessity for the storage of so large a quantity as 100 tons, which was the greatest quantity, he had been informed, was the amount in store. Earl DE GREY and RIPON said the noble earl had been correctly informed as to the quantity of powder in store at Edinburgh Castle. The actual amount was 2,700 barrels, which was something over 100 tons ; but the reason for so large a quantity was that ammunition was issued from the castle to the whole of the southern districts in Scotland. There had always been a large quantity of powder stored there, though of late years there was more on account of the firing by the spread of the Volunteer movement, The powder was kept in a bomb-proof magazine. Ho did not think there was any need for him to say anything about the conse quences of an explosion. The Earl of DALHOUSIE thought there was no neces • sity for keeping so large a quantity in the place. It could easily be forwarded as required. The Earl of AIALMhS BURY referred to the Tower of London, as he had known a large quantity of crates and other combustibles being thrown on the quay, and he need not say the danger of such a calamity as an explosion should most carefully be avoided. Earl DE GREY and RIPON said he would inquire into the matter. The Earl of HARDWICKE said there need be no fear about the powder in the magazines, as it was safer there than anywhere else, They were so constructed as to almost preclude accident. • The subject then dropped. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PETITIONS. The Sheriffs of the City of London appeared at the bar and presented a petition agreed to by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen in Common Council assembled. Its purport did net transpire. THIRD READINGS.

SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS ON THE SABBATH. A great number of petitions were presented against the sale of intoxicating liquors on the Sabbath. WRITS PROHIBITION BILL. Mr. BOUVERIE intimated that it was his intention to move, on the second reading, that the order be discharged, so that he might withdraw it, and introduce it in an amended stato on an early day after Easter, BANKRUPTCY AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. AYRTON gave notice that he intended to propose, on the motion that the Speaker leave the chair, that the bill be referred to a select committee, with power to take evidence. TICKETB OF LEAVN. In reply to Mr. WATLINGTON, Sir G. GREY intimated that certain conditionswere en dorsed on tickets-of-leave in Ireland, but never on those issued in England. He should not object to produce a copy of the conditions endorsed on tickets-of-leave in Eng land if the hon. member thought proper to move for them. ANNUAL BANKRUPTCY RETURN. In reply to Mr. Muitu The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that some unex. petted delay had taken place in the preparation of these voluminous returns, but ho might state that he hoped to lay it on the table of the house on the first day's sitting alter Easter. RIOTS AT CORK ON THE 10TH, In reply to Mr. VANCE, Sir R. PEEL said that the Government had received information with respect to the distarbances referred to. It appeared that some disturbances took place on the 7th instant, and, in consequence, the autho rities had obtained the services of 80 of the constabu lary. On the night of the 10th some disturbances took place, some illuminated houses were attacked, and the mayor was very roughly handled. At four in the morning two detacbments of the military were marched into the town, but quiet had previously been restored. Some of the rioters had teen made amenable to justice before the local authorities ; but the investigations had not been concluded. Rewards had been offered, with the approval of the Government, for the discovery of the chief perpetrators of the outaages. CLOSING} PUBLIC-lIOUSES ON SUNDAYS. Mr. SOAMES moved for leave to introduce a Bill to compel the closiag of public-houses on the Sabbath. He should be glad. to know froth the right hon. gentleman the Secretaty of State for the Home Department if he might rely upon his support ? Mr. PACKE moved that leave be not given. Sir G. GREY said it was ratior unusual to oppose the introduction of a bill; he should not oppose the introduc tion of the bill, but at the same time he could give the hon. gentleman no hope that he should support the second read ing except very materially modified. Mr. BAINES hoped the hon. member (Mr, Packe) would not take so unusual a step as to oppose the introduc tion of the bill, which was promoted by many estimable people and supported by innumerable petitions, signed by hundreds of thousands of the people. (Hear, hear.) the plan proposed by the bill worked exceedingly well in Scotland, and this Royal Commission that had been issued had reported in favour of its operation, It did not follow that the bill would pass in the present form, it could be n m i a ti t e e a ri o a f lly op a p n e sb n hi nb d e ge e s d ishth. i o n uut l(committee,doHnematorh:eehea hear,) and then hon, gentlemen and other opponents of the bill would have many opportu• ghat l l re. ROEBUCKehrebciclub intimated that in consequence of the unusual and extraordinary course adopted by those who op posed laughter. ) when Sabbath. i t H s e i I r hear, andcomm i t t ee, Mr. HORSFALL said the present law was full of incon sistency. They prohibited the sale of bread and other edibles on the Sabbath, but yet tolerated the sale of intoxi cating liquors, which were not necessaries of life. (Hear , hear.) The constituency he represented (Liverpool) were very generally in favour of the bill. (Hear, hear.) The house then divided, when there appeared-- For the introduction of the bill Against it 62 Majority —B9 Leave was then given to introduce the bill, and it was accordingly read a first time. THE GAME LAWS. Mr. W. FORSTER then moved for a select committee to inquire into the operation of the laws relating to game , and to report whether, i n their opinion, any, and it any, what, alterations are required therein. The hon. member supported his propo,ition in a long and elaborate address. Lord ENPIELD seconded the motion, (LEFT SPEAKING) SYMPATHY WITH POLAND. PUBLIC MEETING IN THE CITY-THIS DAY. A large and influential meeting was held this day at the Guildhall, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the Poles in the struggle in which they are now engaged for the recovery of their nationality. The following is a copy of the resolutions submitted to the meeting : " 1. That the Poles, after having long exhibited, under circumsta ces of the most cruel provocation, a calm and dignifiett demeanour in the firm but peaceable vindication of their rights, which entitled them to the respect and ad miration of all civilized nations, have been forced into their present insurrection by acts of continued and intolerable insult and oppression on the part of Russia, and by the ab solute necessity of taking up arms in self-defence, and to preserve their national existence from being exterminated, and their lives from being barbm °ltaly sacrificed in t he com pulsory service of their oppressor." "2. Mat the powers of Europe assembled at Vienna in 1815, when, yielding to the political necessities of the time, they felt themselves compelled to give a reluctant sanction to the partition of Poland, affixed to that sanction the strongest stipulations which they could devise for securing to every part of Poland thus partitioned the blessings of just and free Government, and most especially the preser vation of its national character as part of the great Polish nation." " 3 That the experience of nearly fifty years has proved incontestably that the Russian Government either cannot, or will not, observe those stipulations on which alone rests its title to any share in partitioned Poland." "4. That Russia, by the violation of her engagements to Europe on behalf of Poland, and by the system of confis• cation, exile, and massacre, which she has substituted in their place, has forfeited all right to the possession of Poland; and by the condition of normal discontent which she has thus created in the breast of an oppressed and gallant people, exposes the peace of Europe to a constant danger, which it is the interest of all to avert." "5, That this meeting would, therefore, call upon the British Government, with such concurrence from other Powers as can be obtained, to make a solemn declaration of the withdrawal of their sanction to the dominion by Russia over any part of Poland." " 6. That the deep interest which is taken by the people of England in the righteous and heroic struggle in which the Polish nation is now engaged, for the recovery of its independence, imposes on this meeting the duly of giving the best effect they can to the preceding resolutions, and with this view, that a petition embodying such resolutions be presented to the two Houses of Parliament." In the absence of the Lord Mayor, who was unable to preside from a severe attack of bronchitis, Alderman and Sheriff Lawrence occupied the chair. The Chairman read the following letter from the Marquis Townshend 15, Park-lane, March 17, 1863. My dear Lord,—l regret to say I ani prevented attend ing the meeting to be held this day at the Guildhall, by a sharp attack of bronchitis, and do not expect to be well enough to leave my room for some days. I can assure you, my lord, that with the great interest I take in the cause of Poland, I feel it to be a severe disappointment to me not to be present to-day. I must be allowed to thank your lordship in my own name as President of the Polish Association, as also on the part of those noblemen and gentlemen who attended at my house to draw up reso lutions for the promptitude and kindness you showed, and the evident interest you took in giving us the Guildhall for this meeting, and of presiding oa the occasion.---I beg to remain, very faithfully yours, TOWNSHEND. The Right Hon. the L')rd Mayor. Letters of apology were also read from Mr. Western Wood, M.P., Sir Rowland Hill, Mr. J. Hall, Mr. Edward Romilly (who sent a cheine for £2O), 8 0 ., & e.

Colley Grattan, Esq. ; J, Sheppard, Esq. ; Benjamin Scott, Esq., Chamberlain of the City of London; Alder men Gibbons, Humphreys, and Abbiss ; Dr. R. Fisher, &c. The CHAIRMAN expressed his regret at the absence of the Lord Mayor, and said the object for which they had met that day had his deepest sympathy. They were met that day to express an opinion on the gallant struggle at present going on for freedom in Poland. That nation was engaged in a contest with despotism such as seldom or ever had been heard of in modern times, and he hoped an opi nion would go forth that day which would be heard in every part of Europe, and which would plainly show that the sympathy of England was with every nation which made au effort to secure that which was the ancient right of all—its freedom. (Cheers.) The Earl of HABROWIIT, in coming forward to move the first resolution, said the question they had met there to-day was not one simply of right and wrong, but it was to con sider that which was believed to be a great breach of international agreement. They all knew the issue of the struggle in 1831, and how ineffectual it was, but he could not help thinking that if a little more encouragement had been given to the gallant effort the result would have been different to what it was. (Cheers.) At that time Europe was weakened by dissensions, and it was well known that such a circumstance was always Russia's op portunity, and an act of unexampled tyranny was perpe trated. They had all heard of one of the greatest outrages that had ever been perpetrated; he meant the conscription, or rather he should say proscription, in which people were violently taken from their beds, and not for the purpose of serving their country. The misery of such a proceeding had roused the slumbering embers of freedom in Poland, and a struggle had begun which he hoped would end in a successful result. They were there not to do what they would like, for that was impossible ; but they could at the present moment throw the whole of the moral weight of opinion in England into the scale, and toll Rus sia that, as far as the treaty of Vienna goes, and it was under that that Russia maintained its hold of Poland, it had violated its engagements, and therefore the Poles were free—(Cheers)—and that every country would look upon them as a nation holding no allegiance to a Sovereign who had betrayed his trust. He had great pleasure in moving the first resolution. (Cheers.) The Hon. Mr. PENMAN, in seconding it, said the conduct of Russia, with respect to Poland, was viewed with detes tation by the whole of civilised Europe, and nothing could be stronger than the opinion that had been expressed by the Prime Minister, who had said that, of all the violations of treaties the world had ever seen none had been greater than that of Russia in the case of Poland, (Cheers,) In everything Russia had broken her obligations to Poland. Russia had stipulated that education should be carefully at tended to, that all public documents should be published in Poland; but in plaee of that nothing of the kind had been done, but a system of confiscation, exile, and massacre had been in stituted. (Shame.) Did the Poles rise without provoca tion, (No, no.) He felt the noble lord who had alluded to the conscription had rightly termed it a proscription, and by that despotic, and savage act Russia had forfeited all right to the possession of Poland. (Cheers.) He con tended that Russia never possessed any right to Poland, and therefore it was too mild a term to say that Russia had ' violated her engagement, when she never possessed the slightest right to that country. (Cheers.) The resolution 83id the peace of Europe was in constant danger from the conduct of Russia, and he did not think there was one pre sent who did not believe it was for the interest of all that that danger should be prevented—(cheers)--but he believed until some alteration took place in Russia that danger would never be averted. If they were to let it go forth to-day that they never were to go to war for Poland they would be neglecting their duty. (Immense cheering.) He did not wish the meeting to misunderstand him; he did not counsel England to gu to war with Russia. because he felt there were other means by which their object could be at tained. (Cheers.) He felt .the proceedings of this day would go to Poland, for she was sti 1 alive—(cheers)—and that to the latest hour of her life that oppressed country would feel grateful for what they had done in that hall to-day, he hoped he might say on behalf of England. (Cheers.) Mr. CRAWFORD, ALP , supported the resolution. He said he felt certain his eolleagues in the representation of the City fully approved of the object of the meeting, and he would not detain the meeting further than by saying that he fully concurred in the sentiments expressed in the resolu tion, and that he hoped that the voice of London expressed that day would go forth and make itself heard to the utter most parts of Europe. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried amidst loud cheering. Sir 11. HOARE moved the second resolution. He said that sooner than the domination of Russia should be re stored in Poland, sooner than the present noble struggle should be extinguished and put down, th© citizens of Lou don would not hesitate to go to war on behalf of suffering and outraged Poland. (Cheers.) Mr; Porn HENNESSY said their object that day was not merely to give a barren expression of sympathy with Poland, but to strengthen the hand of the Government in a very difficult position. The meeting was not one of child's play, on the contrary, they were met to make a solemn pro test against (24e of the mast shameless violations of obliga tions the world had ever kntiwn. He felt the opinions ex pressed that day would go forth to Russiai and the Auto crat would learn that he cotrd not with impunity attempt to crush out a nation's freedom. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Mr. H. FAWCETT supported the resolution. He urged in Very forcible terms the necesssity of compelling the Go vernment to give practical expression to the feelings of the citizens of London on the gallant struggle now being made by the Poles fur freedom, and at the same time to make it known that Englishmen would not tamely sit down and witness a nation's liberty trampled out by the greatest tyranny that ever ground down a civilised country. Mr. H. SEYMOUR, M.P,, moved the third resolution, and suggested that an international subscription should be at once eorsmenced, for the purpose of giving aid to Poland, and that the Lord Mayor be solicited to communicate with the Prefect of the Seine to receive subscriptions, and then again would be seen the glorious spectacle of two of the greatest and most powerful countries in the world united in their exertions to give freedom and liberty to one of the bravest countries in the world. Mr. E, BEALES seconded the resolution, remarking that the best evidence that the feeling for Poland was still alive was the enthusiastic meeting of that day. The other resolutions having been proposed and carried, the meeting separated. LONDON GAZETTE--This Evening. WAR-OFFICE, MARCH 17.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, WILFUL DAMAGE.—Mary Hunt, a charwoman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wilfully breaking a pane of glass in the window of the shop of Mr. Samuel Pratt, dealer in curiosities, 47, New Bond-street. Mr. Rowley Pratt said that on the previous afternoon the prisoner entered the shop and asked for a penny to get a glass of whisky. He told her that he should certainly not give her a penny for such a purpose, when she went outside and deliberately kicked a pane of glass with her heel, smashing the pane, of the value of £2. He then gave her into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, witness said the prisoner was a stranger to bim, and that she nearly upset and destroyed some valuable property while in the shop, she evidently being under the influence of drink. Tyler, 164 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and that she was drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should send the prisoner for two month. It was the only way to check such offences. PICKPOCKETS AT THE ILLUMINATIONS.---David Hearn, George Harms, and George Clark, charged with attempting to pick pockets at the illuminations on the night of Tuesday last, were brought up and committed, Hearn for three months, and the others for six weeks each, with hard labour. THE FRENCH MARKETS. The tendency to a rise which was remarked in the French corn-markets lust week has not been main tained. Still, however, no great reaction has en sued. Sellers and buyers are observing each other, and waiting for some event which may influence the market. The weather continues favourable to the growing crops. Wheat is not liable to danger pre vious to the blossoming. There was not much business transacted in the Paris corn-market last week, in consequence of the non-attendance of either farmers or millers. Choice samples of white wheat are quoted at from 341. to 351. the sack of 120 kilo grammes; first quality, 33f. to 33f. 50c.; good, 321. to 32r. 50c. ; inferior, 301. 50c. to 31f. Merchants' wheat was scarce ; that which arrived from Chartres was of inferior quality, and is quoted at 32f. Mer chants from Montereau refused to sell at less tha❑ 34f., and no buyers were to be found at that rate. The price of rye has not varied ; barley is more offered than sought for; oats were less plentiful. The price of bakers' flour is firm, but sales are diffi cult. Choice samples are quoted at 62f.; good marks, 601. to 61f, the sack of 150 kilogrammes. The market for flour of the six marks was quiet at the begin ni'g of the week, but some large sales were effected at the end at 62f.the sack for delivery in April, and 62f. 50c. for May and June. The official quota tions on Saturday evening arc 611. 50c. for the pre sent month ; 611. 75c. for April ; 62f. 50e. May and June. The factors declared on Saturday 155 sacks of flour, of which 72 of first quality sold for delivery within 30 days at from 55f. to 60f. The Marseilles corn market is quiet. The sales are confined to the requirements of the local bakers, there being no de mand trona the interior of France. Ships laden with coin arrive regularly from various quarters, and their cargoes are gradually disposed of. The Havre corn market remains dull, the supplies from the Pays de Caux being greater than the demand. The Bordeaux market is well supplied with wheat from Brittany,La Vendee, and Poitou by railway. Good wheat grown in the Gironde is worth 231. the 80 kilogrammes, and other growths 22f. to 22f. 75c. Wheat is quoted at Nantes at from 20f. to 21f. 25c. the 80 kilogrammes, and good flour at from 57f. to 61f, the sack of 157 kilogrammes, but there is scarcely any business doing. At Rouen good wheat is still quoted at from 25f. 75c. to 28f. the 100 kilogrammes; flour, 56f. to 601. the sack. Wheat is worth from 181. to 21f. the hectolitre at Lille, and flour 37f. to 38f. the 100 kilogrammes, being a slight decline as com pared with the preceding week. Farmers in the neighbourhood of Strasbourg complain that they cannot obtain more than from 28f. to 29f. the 100 kilogrammes for their wheat, and 37f. 500. to 38f. 50c. the 100 kilogrammes for their flour.

On the inoant Of Lord PALMERSTON, it was ordered that this eventnc , trail orders of the day be postponed till after the notice of :notion relating to Greece. Mr. B. COCHRANE rose to move for no address for further correspondence relating:to the affairs of Greece. Ifs said that the Greeks had been much dis Tpointed in not having for their king either the Bake of Saxe Coburg or Prince Alfred. It was exceedingly int portrtnt even upon financial grounds that the closest re lations should subsist between this country and Greece. The unguaranteed debt owing to this 0 nruttY amounted to £7,000,000, and the gui.ranteed debt now amounted to £2,090,000, and the accumulate' interest ma beth had reached the enormous sum of £900,090. (Hear. : 1. he Greek people were unanimous in their desire to get Prince Alfred for their sovereign. Several votes had been given for others ; but he could not but regret I lutt the right 1 hon. pntlernan oppaite (tile Chancellor of the Exche quer) was not himself a candidate— (laughter) —for he was a great favourite with the Greek people, and would have an ample opportunity there of exercising his tinancia/ abilities for the welfare of the people. (Renewed laughter.) The Greek people, in their extremity, had thrown them selves entirely on Engin& to the exclusion of the two other great powers. (Hear, hear.) It was well, therefore, at this juncture to inquire how the Government had dis charged the obligations cast upon them ; whether they had shown that consideration for Greece that the people of that country had a right to expect. In his opinion the conduct of the Government had neither been just nor very generous, and the result had been that Greece had greatly suffered from the policy that the Government had pursued towards it. (Hear, hear.) He stigmatised the conduet of Earl Russell as offensive and erroneous. Had the noble viscount (Lord Palmerston) held the seals of the Foreign-office, he was satisfied, from the course he had invariably pursued in that house that - a very different course would have been adopted. It was on the 22d of October, last year, that the revolution took place. Immediately after Earl Russell wrote to Russia and :Franco calling attention to the protocol of lflos, excluding any of the scions of the three Royal houses from the throne of Greece. Russia concur red frankly and at once, agreeing with the language of Earl Russell, but France replied with more reserve, He had received two letters from persons of very high standing whose names he would have no objection to communicate to the Government privately, though he could not mention them publicly. The hon. gentleman then read the two let ters, which, though dated Nov. 25 and Jan. 18, he said he had only received that morning, complaining of the hopes . that had been raised by the Nurse pursued by the English Government, and the damage done to the Greeks with other Powers by the delay in declaring its ultimate determination. His next point was, that having done the Greeks an injury, the British Government then proceeded to make them ridi culous. On the 9th of February the noble viscount at the head of the Government stated in the house that Prince Ferdinand had been sounded as to accepting the throne of Greece, but had decidedly refused; whereas, on the sth February Mr. Elliot had declared at Athens, in reply to a deputation, that her Majesty's Government, sicting hi con cert with the Government of France, had-agtiecfto recom mend Prince Ferdinand as a candidate foilhe Greek throne. [Mr. Layard shook his head.] The hon. gentleman shook his heade but he (Mr. Cochrane) was speaking from docu ments which he believed to be authentic. The hon. gentle man then quoted a city article of the Times, as to the effect pioduced upon Greek commercial securities by the undecided policy of the Government. That indecision had been qiiite uncalled' for, because there had been a large num heir of candidates in the field, including amongst o ers the Prince de Joinville, the Due de Leuchten tr b g, Marshal M'Mahon , Garibaldi, a Mr. Camps, w o claimed to be a descendant of the founder o 4 Greece—(a laugh)—and even the right hon. gentleman oiposite himself (Mr. Gladstone), who little knew how popu lar he was in a country where he would have such a grand scope for his great financial abilities. (Laughter.) The most remarkable part of the affair, however, was the scheme of, the Government to get rid of all consequences of the con fusion they had caused by a diplomatic coup d'etat. That coup d'etat, singularly enough too, had been successful. "!Let us propose to give up the lonian Islands," said they, "and then the Greek people wilt say, ' Oh, me must not a B use the English Government or we shall not get the I nian Islands.' " (Hear.) After all, were the Greeks not b ing deceived now ? Was it intended to give them up the I 1 nian Islands at all? (Hear.) Not long since a public meeting upon the subject had been anneunced, but the tele glom stated that the Lord High Commissioner had prohi bited the meeting being held under theeet of imprisonment , ((fear.) Lord Russell stated several times in his despatches that no encroachment by the Greek nation was to be encou rigcd, but did it not occur to him that when they got the Itinian 'steeds it was most natural that they should want Albania, Thessaly, and Tangier ? That was not only the view of many in this country, but of M. Montaternbert and others in the French Chambers. Personally, he (Mr. Cock rane) regretted that Prince Alfred had not been allowed to a4cept the vacant throne. Having said so much for the past, he now wished to say a word for the future, premising that his sole object was justice and the welfare of the Greek nitrtion. And now he would ask, after having submitted the actual state of things, and the great responsibility which hfing over the future of Greece, whether he was not justi fitd when he said that the people of Greece bad not been treated with justice. Why, the very first act of their poll tioal existence was to place the honour and independence 0' their country under the protection of Great Britailif aid the same touching affection for the Sovereign of this country had been evinced in the candidature of Prince Alfred, whom they spoke of as the son of the beloved and Idowed Queen of England. Well, that feeling having 1 e isted, and the people of Greece having asked the English government for assistance, he must say that the English government had not acted fairly towards them. (Hear.) It might have been perfectly right to have stood upon the tteaty and protocol, but it could not have been right to de c, tive the people of Greece for the sake of a diplomatic sue. chs, and to throw them into all the perils of an untried Intuit. It was for that he had brought forward the ques- - tion, and he asked her Majesty's Government to declare their policy, not only for the future, but their past policy towards Greece. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GREGORY said he sympathised in many of the sentiments and aspirations which his hon. friend had uttered with respect to the future condition of Greece; but with regard to the aspiration that Prince Alfred should have been permitted to ascend the throne of Greece, he must say, hav ing regard both tothe interests of England and Greece, that her Majesty's Government had taken the right course. (Hear, hear.) Independently of those considerations pointed out in Lord Russell's despatch, of the position of Prince Alfred as regarded the throne of Greece, and the jealousy which would arise from his ascending the throne, complica tions of a grave nature might hereafter take place, and it might be turned into a precedent for preparing thrones in the future for Royal, and might be Imperial; princes; and thus a dangerous precedent might have been esta blished. (Hear, hear.) They should also bear in mind that Prince Alfred was young and inexperienced; and if he went to Greece, he should go alone, or be obliged to re sort to English advisers. If he went alone to Greece he might fall into the hands of parties who would render him unpopular; and, if he went to Greece with English ad edgers, 'differences might arise, and in "a moment of popular Outbreak Prince Alfred might have lost the throne of Greece, and thereby a great act of humiliation would be in flicted upon England, and a feeling adverse to Greece might he created in this country. He differed from his hon. friend upon another point, namely, that from the beginning her 1 Majesty's Government had not held out any expectations to I the people of Greece that Prince Alfred would ascend the throne. The hon. member then referred to the date of the I insurrection and the several telegrams and communications which passed between Mr. Scarlett and Lord Russell, and subsequently between Lord Russell and Mr. Elliot; and contended that the obvious scope and meaning of the whole went to show that Prince Alfred could not accept the throne of Greece. (Hear.) It was true that Lord Russell, bear ing in mind the double dealing policy of Russia, did flap his wings and indulged in a crow; but nothing which the noble lord had written could be taken as holding out any expectation that Prince Alfred could accept the throne of Greece. He wanted to ask the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs one or two questions. He wanted to Leak him whether, since the English Foreign Office was placed under the present regime, there was any axiom laid down that when any particularly difficult matter was to be conducted, the ordinary diplomatic agents were set aside, and the management handed over to a gentleman j u b s e t l o reason n gi ng t for r the kfamily fito;ftohreaEpleleiortws.ho(Abolarougthha.)t name had been sent to Italy in 1848, and they also knew that of late, when Italy had been passing through a severe ordeal requiring men of ability to conduct affairs, it had been intended to set aside Sir James Hudson and replace him by a gentleman of the name of Elliot, and as it had been sup posed that Mr. Scarlett was unfit to manage the affairs of Greece, a gentleman of the name of Elliot was sent there. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Elliot arrived in Athens on the 23d December, and foithwith he had an interview with the head of the Provisional Government. Mr. Elliot opened his budget, and said he had the King of Portugal in one hand and the lonian Islan sin the other. Persuasion seemed to flow from his lips, and on the 2d of January he wrote vvhat he (Mr. Gregory) considered a rather extraordinary de spatch, in which he seemed to argue that the holding out false expectations had produced a beneficial effect, and that during the last week a change was taking place in favour of King Ferdinand ; owing, no doubt, to the persuasion of Mr. Elliot. Well, all at once came down upon the people a clap of thunder in the shape of a despatch from - Lord Russell to Mr. Elliot, in which the noble lord said he was sorry to state that King Ferdinand on account of his affection for his sons declined to come forward. He asked the Govern ment why they did not ascertain the state of the affec tions of the King of Portugal before they wade their an nouncement? (Cheers.)
