IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. of the Exchequer might adopt when it was given, or whether that course would be hostile to or in agree ment with the Bank. The first paper moved for by the noble lord, had indeed been already laid before the other house of Parliament, and there would be no objec tion to its production, if he thought it was worth while reprinting it. He was sure the noble lord did not ex pect the Government to lay the other papers on the table. The noble lord, after moving for these papers, said that he would very shortly tell them the reasons for his motion, and then for twenty-five minutes he dwelt upon the reasons why her Majesty's Government should not enter upon a course which he presumed, though somewhat faintly, they had no intention of doing—that of issuing paper money by their own act. Now he could say nothing more in answer to that speech than that he, and he believed his colleagues also behind him—(hear, hear, from the Ministers)—were perfectly ignorant of any such plan or intention if it existed. HOUSE OF LORDS—(irESTERDAY.) The house met at five o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given by commission to the following bills :—County Court Extension Acts Amend ment, Boundary Survey (Ireland ) Nav y Pa y , &c., Mn ning the Navy, Devonport and Keyham Tunnel (No. 2), Burry Port, Whitehaven Junction Railway, Port Gor don Harbour, Rossendale Union Gas, Imperial Gas Company, Ulitheroe Waterworks, Madras Railway Com pany, Weymouth and Melconibe Regis Markets and Pier, Manchester Improvement, Salford Borough and Manchester Division, Harrow Waterworks, Ridghill Lanes and Holehouse Road, Hereford Improvement, Ashton-under-Lyne and Dukinfield Bridge, Cardiff Gas, National Assurance and In vestment Association, Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company, Belfast Harbour, Birmingham Waterworks, Manchester Corporation Wa terworks, New River Company (Hertford Sewerage Diver sion, &c.), Wellington (Salop) Improvement, West Hartle pool Improvement, Rosall Sea Wall, South Shields Roads, Horsmonden and Marden Roads, Ahergavenny Improvement, Buckingham and Towcester Road, Louth Waterworks, Glasgow New Street, Newc astle-u p on- Tyne and Carlisle Railway, Lancashire and York shide Railway (.Liv:trpo )1 Dock Branches), Lanca shire and Yorkshire Railway (Middleton Branch), Whittle Dean Waterworks ; London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway ; Newcastle-upon-Tyne Docks, Saint Mawes Port; Harbour, and Pier ; Brighton and Hove Gas, Guild of Literature and Art, and South Staffordshire Railway.

Lord CAMPBELL said that,. considering the ad vanced period of session, and that this was an inauspi eious occasion for bringing forward any salutary mea sure of reform, he intended to postpone his bill for pre venting unauthorised negotiations with foreign Powers, undertaking early next session to present it to their lord ships in a form which was more likely to meet with their approval. • Lord BROUGHAM thought the noble and learned lord had adopted a wise course in withdrawing the bill for the present. THE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (SCOTLAND) BILL.. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the Faculty of Advocates at Edinburgh against this bill. Lord BROUGHAM contended that the bill had met with the unanimous approval of the cemmercial and mercantile interests of Scotland. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE BANK. Lord MONTEAGLE, pursuant to notice, moved for a copy of the agreement entered into between the right honourable Henry Goulburn, as Chancellor of the Ex chequer, and the Bank of England, respecting the al lowances made. to the Bank for public services ; and also, copies of all correspondence which may have taken place between the Government and the Bank in 1854, respecting the advances required on deficiency bills, and the state of the public balances. He said he could not fancy that any objection would be made by the Go vernment to lay on the table documents of that de scription. One reason for his making that motion was, that their lordships would have again occasion to dis cuss the question of the transactions between the Trea sury and the Bank, and undoubtedly they would see that the documents which were referred to as public do cuments in the other house of Parliament ought to be in the hands of their lordships. He had other and more important reasons for wishing to obtain every possible information on this subject. The last arrangements with the Bank of England were made in 1844, and were terminable on notice being given, in the course of next year. It had been agitated and strongly urged on pub lic attention, that in reference to their existing arrange ments and the late transactions between the Govern ment and the Bank, that the notice should be given as early as the law would permit, and that an experiment, which he believed to be pregnant with the utmost danger to the public and private interests of the country, should be tried with regard to the monetary transac tions of the Government. That suggestion was no less than that the Government should cease all communica tion whatever with the Bank of England, and that a new department connected with the Government itself should be instituted by the executive Government for the purpose of discharging those functions which were now ca , reed on on behalf of the Government , by the Bank itself. It was suggested that Government should become issuers of circulating paper, and undertake, not only their own interests, but also the interests of the whole commercial community , of England. He confesiett he'4l — &arstleh a fzuggestton as that with the greatest possible alarm. He d'd not know of an instance in which Government had interfered in transactions of that kind, in which the result was not both dangerous to the Government itself, and extremely prejudicial to the interests of the commercial community. Their lordships knew that the issue of coin had been made by unprincipled and lavish Governments the source of wide-spread danger and calamity. If that had been the case almost all over Europe, and if our own country, from the reign of Elizabeth to the present time, afforded a noble example of fidelity to its-engagements, etan,iing almost alone in that respect, how much greater would be the danger if, as rash speculators and inquirers would have us to believe, the Government of the day could by any possibility undertake the task of becoming makers and issuers of paper? If they entrusted to the Govern ment of the day the power of issuing paper, and especially paper payable on demand, they would find that in every case of exigency, and if that exigency was coupled with the existence of a weak and unprincipled Government, that power would be extensively exercised to the preju dice alike of the Government itself and the mercantile community in general. They all knew that in times of commercial depression the great difficulty was to prevent the pressure from without compelling the Government to sacrifice principle to a temporary expediency. The times of great difficulty with the Bank of England were in 1791 and 1792, during the French revolution, and finally in 1797, when the Bank restriction took place, which was brought abbilt Ey the acts of the Govern ment rather than of the Bank itself ; and it was in 1797 that the Bank prayed the Government to resort to cash payments. If the terms which the Bank imposed upon the Government were exhorbitant, that was a separate question. Let the money question be discussed as a money question ; pay the Bank for its services ; but do not have recourse to a principle which was tooperate both as a remedy and as an act of vengeance. If the Bank had not shown so much of readiness to accommodate the Government as could have been wished, do not let their lordships for that reason introduce a principle of danger, which, great as it would be in every country, became infinitely greater in proportion as this country was a great commercial community, and in proportion as its large commercial undertakings rested on credit. It was just because the Government had very large transactions that they ought not to have a bank of their own. It was but the other day that it had been determined, and very properly determined, that the Government ought not to be the manufacturer of its small arms. If the Government were not to undertake the manufacture of muskets because they could get them at Birmingham, there were immensely stronger reasons for their not undertaking the trade of banking, because that could be done much better by others. Some reasoners had, in deed, talked as if the privileges conceded to the Bank had been given to it for its own advantage alone ; but the whole course of our recent legislation had shown that the privileges given to this corporation were for the sake of the country. Of course, if there was any inten tion on the part of the Government to give notice to the Bank that they proposed terminating the existing con nection between the Government and the Bank, and the existing privileges of that institution, there would be a Parliamentary inquiry into the subject, as there had been in 1844, and on each of the ten occasions on which the Bank Charter Act had been renewed. Untii notice that e t c h t e . p And b n l i d c u n n e t e i d l t e h n a t t e r t t any a L p o p r r d e e i n o n s i t o e n a s g i o e n ) e t r i s . of such an inquiry was given, therefore, he did not think lie ( taiely would not impute to her Majesty's Government a design which would, he believed, lead to the unfortunate results which he had described. The noble lord con cluded by moving for the returns. Earl GRANVILLE said that the difficulty which be usually felt in replying to him noble friend on questions of this kind, with which his past and present official position had rendered him so in timately acquainted, was materially increased on the present occasion by the fact that the noble lord, not content with discussing the past and present finan cial policy of the Government, had now dived into futu rity. The speech of the noble lord remided him (Earl Granville) very forcibly of a story which he had heard a short time since with respect to an Irish judge, who frequently annoyed counsel by interrupting their state ments to the jnry. Mr. Curran being one day pleading before him, described, in very forcible terms, how his feelings had a short time before been harrowed by What be had seen at a neighbouring market when a b u t c h er wa s engaged in killing a pig. He said that the string by which the pig was tied broke, and he then described the manner in which the man with the murierous weapon in his hand rushed to a door out of which a little boy was coming. " And he killed the boy," said the judge. " No, my lord," replied Mr. Curran ; " your lordship sometimes jumps too readily at conclusions. It was not the boy but the pig. (Laughter.) Now, the noble lord (Lord Monteagle) seemed to have jumped to his conclu sions somewhat in the same way. A short time ago he made an able but severe attack not only upon the past but upon the future policy of the Government, before they had availed themselves of the undoubted privilege of making their first explanations on these subjects in another place, and by the mouth of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. And now, because he supposed the noble lord had since seen that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had stated that he was asking the opinion of the law officers of the Crown upon some point that was in dispute between him and the Bank, he brought for. ward a motion for the production of the correspondence which was entirely of a private character, before the opinion of the law officers was known or even given, and Wore it Way what oolito the 01161w/olio: _ On Friday next will be published, Vols.

The Marquis of CLA.NRICARDE expressed the satisfaction with which he had heard the noble earl's statement that the Government had no intention to disturb the present excellent arrangement under which the Bank of England exercised the functions allotted to it by act of Parliament. He believed that the adoption of any such scheme as that which had been referred to by the noble lord (Lord Monteagle) would be most dangerous to the country ; and he was sure that he had done good service by eliciting from the Government a contradiction to a report which, if spread throughout the country, which give rise to considerable inconve nience.

Earl GRANVILLE thought the noble marquis jumped quite as rapidly to a conclusion as either the Irish judge or the noble lord (Lora Monteagle.) The noble lord having described an elaborate plan for a lie paratinn between the Government and,the Bank, which he argued would lead to disastrous consequences, he (Earl Granville) said that he was perfectly ignorant that any such plan was in existence, or was approved of by the Government. Upon this, the noble marquis jumps up and says that he had heard with satisfaction a formal declaration on the part of the Government that they had not the slightest intention to disturb, either in a great or little degree, the present relations be tween the Government and the Bank. Now, he (Earl Granville) certainly reserved himself from bind ing the Government not to make any alterations in any future arrangements, if they could do so with advantage to the public. The Marquis of CL A.NRICARDE said that of course the Government might next month or at any future time entertain the intention of making an alteration in the relations between themselves and the Bank. But they had at any rate elicited a declaration from the no:ile earl that he was not aware of any present in tention to do so. Lord MONTEAGLE remarked that he had merely said that the plan to which he had alluded, and which he had condemned was imputed to the Government. For his own part he was perfectly convinced that they had never had any intention to adopt it. With respect to the papers embraced in his motion, as it was not his intention to move for any correspondence which it might be inconvenient to produce, he was per fectly willing to confine his motion to the paper which the noble earl had stated his willingness to lay on the table. The motion for the production of the agreement be tween Mr. Goulburn when Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Bank of England, was then agreed to. a T p i h t e u i r a e r p o E r t s t o a f t e t h eo.committeel upon tthheenEpiscopal received and an d C agreed to.

THE LAW OF DIVORCE. The LORD CHANCELLOR then laid upon the table a bill for carrying into effect some slight modifications in the law of divorce, which had been recommended by the commission which had inquired into this subject. He hoped that their lordships would now read it a first time, and in that case he would take the second reading on Tuesday, the 13th instant. Lord CAMPBELL would take that opportunity of asking his noble and learned friend if there was any truth in a report which, was widely circulated in the profession, that it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to abandon that most useful measure, the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill, which had passed their lordships' house, and was now in another place The LORD CHANCELLOR was happy to be able to assure his noble friend that there was not the slightest foundation for the report in question. It was undoubt edly the fact that a large number of petitions had been presented against the bill in another place, and that considerable opposition was likely to be, _offered to it_.;, but it was also certain that it was the intention . of her Majesty's Government to do their utmost' to pass it. No doubt, it was Ills own opinion, and that of the Go vernment, that it was not so perfect as it would have been if its operation had not been limited to personal property, but still nothing could be more absurd, petu lant, and discreditable than for the Government to say : " Because we cannot carry the bill exactly as we wish, therefore we will not carry it at all." If, as he hoped, it turned out to be a great boon even in its present form, their lordships might, at a future time, be willing to entertain favourably the question of its extension to real property. In reply to Lord WYNFORD, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that it was cer tainly not the intention of the Government to propose the grant of any cornpensat;on to the proctors, because they conceived that it would be unjust and wrong to do so. T T e e b L i 1 0 1 was ßp then CHANCELLORrea d a table some reports, embracing prop o sals for the consoli firsttimetlien laid upon the dation of branches of the law, from the gentlemen who had been entrusted with their preparation. Tile noble and learned lord was at the same time understood to state that he hoped to be able to bring forward bills founded upon some of these reports at an early period. Lord CAMPBELL remarked that he by no means despaired of seeing a criminal code which he had always thought was practic Lble. But the only hope of attaining that object was by having the whole of the code digested and perfected at once. It was in vain to hope that any good could arise from piecemeal legislation. THE BLOCKADE OF ARCHANGEL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that he wished to ask her Majesty's Government a question with respect to what was said to have occurred in another place on the previous evening. It related toa point of the greatest importance not only in a mercantile but also in a political and national point of view. He had that afternoon heard to his great surprise that the First Lord of the Admi ralty had on the previous evening stated in another place that the Government had decided that there was to be no blockade of the port of Archangel during the present year. Now, it appeared to him that if we had any chance of bringing the present war to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion, it must be mainly by means of our fleets, and by the general pressure that we could bring to bear upon the Russian empire, and not by any merely military achievements, however brilliant they might be. That being the case, the question of blockade was the most important to which the attention of the Government could be directed. That their attention had been directed to it, though as yet w ithout any satis factory results, was evident from the fact that some little time ago we received information that an effective block ade was established in the Baltic. He was, however, told that letters of the 25th ult., from St. Petersburg and Riga, stated that at that time there wa s free egress from into both ports. He had, however, the assurance of the Government that there should be an e fficient blockade in the Baltic and Black Seas. Still, the blockade of Archangel was of quite as much and indeed of more im portance. It was generally understood about ten daysago that three of our ships had sailed for the White Sea. He (the Marqui3 of Clanricarde) then thought that they were gone to establish a blockade r for which they would be an ample force, since the entrance to the port of Archangel was very narrow, and Russia had no force there. There was only one other port in the White Sea, and the ex ports from that place were limited to timber. Arch angel, on the other hand, was•the port from which was shipped all the produce of the wonderfully fertile pro vinces in the north of Russia, which were the very pro vinces whose inhabitants it was most easy to make feel sensibly the inconveniences of the present war. H e was told that so long ago as a fortnight information was sent to the Dutch merchants at Amsterdam that the Govern-. ment had decided not to blockade Archangel. He could not belieVe that this was true, but thus much was known, that the Dutch had chartered a g reat many shi p s to pro ceed to Archangel to bring away the Russian produce. If that was the case, we were in fact carrying on the war, not against the Russians but against the English merchants, because, while the Russians would thus be able to dispose of their produce, and we should be able to get what we wanted through Holland, the English merchants would be the only persons debarred from a participation in the advantages of the trade. H e h a d indeed heard it said that it would be hard to prevent the people of Holland from getting their usual suppiy of rye from the northern ports of Russia. But if we did not do so, we were in fact giving to Russia an advantage which no belligerent ever before gave to another. Be sides that, we were in fact making it to the advantage of Holland and Germany not to join us in the war, but to remain neutral. Now this was very mistaken policy. We ought to make the inconveniences of this war felt as widely as possible, for it was by that means that we should eventually put an end to it. When the Russian people felt the war to be such an evil as we had the power to make it to them, he had no doubt they would find means to enforce upon their Govern ment the necessity of making peace ; and that, too, much sooner than we could do by direc mili tary operations, however brilliant. Ile hoped, therefore, to receive from the noble duke an assurance that the Government had not determined not to blockade Arch angel, but that the whole power of this country would be brought to bear in order to impede and destroy the trade of Russia as much as possible. He had indeed doubts whether it would not be wise altogether to pro hibit the importation of Russian produce into this country, This gown . e would be quite practicable, for i . .. . • ' \,... . . . _ . .. k‘ 1 i . . . . . i . . . .. w 4 II I 611'b k '.- ---- - - - . • ' I ' '. --- •;:'•.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE said it was exceedingly inconvenient that questions of this kind should be put without full previously v intimation en. that The incon venie n ce they were t o was,be asked had beenhowever, materially augmented when, as in the present case , the questions related to what had passed in the other house of Parliament. He thought indeed that he had a right to complain that the question should have been put under the peculiar circumstances of the case. He held in his hand the note, dated from his own house at four o'clock, in which his noble friend had conveyed to him an intimation of his intention to ask this question. From an accident, that letter was not delivered to him (the Duke of Newcastle) until he had arrived in that house, and he then informed his noble friend that, as his note had not reached him until the business of the house was actually proceeding, he had not been able to commu nicate with his right honourable friend the First Lord of the Admiralty (Sir J. Graham) as to what had fallen from him in another place. He was, therefore, quite unable to answer the question, except from what he knew with reference to the policy and the determination of the Government. He did not complain on the part of the Government ; there were much greater and higher interests involved than any question of convenience to the Government ; the public might be greatly pre judiced by questions being put to which the Government could not give distinct and categorical answers. No. doubt what his right honourable friend had said was that Archangel was not blockaded ; and perhaps the hon. gentleman who asked the question put it in ignorance of the fact—unless he was actuated by the desire which some persons felt of seeing their names in the papers as members putting questions to the Govern. ment—that no blockade could be established of any port, unless an announcement of that blockade had ap peared previously in the Gazette. Therefore the hon. gentleman might have saved himself the trouble of put ting that question to his right hon. friend. They had been in communication with the French Government, and for reasons which the noble marquis must forgive him for not explaining to him, they had decided not to blockade Archangel at present. How long that deter mination was to continue was a matter of a different character, and the noble marquis must excuse him for not giving a more detailed answer. The question had not been neglected, and the determination had been come to on mature consideration, and after a careful intercommunication and discussion with the French Go vernment. He hoped, therefore, that the noble marquis would feel assured that the determination was not come to on light grounds, and with regard to any future de termination it would appear in the proper form in the Gazette whenever that determination was arrived at. His noble friend might rely upon it that no blockade would be established by the present Government, or he hoped by any Government, of that country that would be any other than an effective blockade. They would be no parties to the establishment of any blockade which would go by the mere name of a paper blockade. Lord BEAUMONT did not agree with the noble duke that there could be no blockade unless it was an nounced in the Gazette. Surely an admiral had a right to institute a blockade. Thera would be no possibility of carrying on a war according to the plan which had been laid down by the noble duke. An admiral carrying on a war, and finding it conducive to that object to blockade any port, had a right to blockade that port, and it might be one month or two months before the announcement of the blockade appeared in the Gazette. (Hear, hear.) He understood the noble earl to intimate that he (Lord Beaumont) was right, but he understood the noble duke to say that it was first necessary for the announcement of the blockade to appear in the Gazette, and against that doctrine he (Lord Beaumont) protested. He must own that having now the declaration of the noble duke that it is not the intention of the Government to blockade Archangel, he deeply regretted to hear such an announce ment made. (Hear.) He did not ask, and was not entitled to ask, the reason why the Government had come to that conclusion, but he regretted the existence of that circum s tance, and that they were to carry on this war through means of the Gazette. He regretted to hear that they were to make war merely on one point—that it was merely in the Black Sea they were to make war seriously, and to leave the rest of the Russian empire to have the same benefits as if peace still existed. That would be a mere trifling system, and injurious to this country. He (Lord Beaumont) was of opinion that, for the good of humanity generally—for securing all the advantages that were obtained by peace—for the inte rests of this country—and even for the interests of the people of Russia—they ought to carry on this war as effectively as they could • and they should have no polite notes passing between th e governors of cities and admi rals commanding fleets, saying, " we will spare this place —we will give up prisoners—we want an exchange." and offering not to attack and not to fire upon certain portions of a town. Instead of that course, the should leaVe it_ to the judgment of the sdrairsts, , : - ": decide on the best mode of carrying out thee' , .1 tions ; but their instructions should be to do as much harm as they could to the enemy. The Earl of ABERDEEN considered that the noble lord had misapprehended his noble friend in what he had said respecting the validity of a blockade. No doubt an admiral mi 4 ht establish a blockade in any part of the world where he found himself carrying on warlike opera tions ; but what was essential was that, as soon as that blockade came to the knowledge of the Government ; they were bound to insert it in the Gazette forthwith, or they would render themselves liable to all the damage which might ensue to parties they were bound to in form of it. As to the manner in which this war was to be carried on, the noble lord might set himself at rest. (Hear, hear .) He might depend upon it that no war a w e h ich more their wa determination. s power ever un admitted, d r a ( k a e n e a would be with thhe morear. ) carried o vigour Withoutnan d s f firing with iin a t gh r upon all parts of a town, even the hospital for the sick, without such a proceeding as that, the noble lord might depend •upon it that, 'as 'regarded everything that was necessary for the vigorous prosecution of the war, nothing would be wanting ;to carry it on and bring it to a favourable conclusion.. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH rose for the purpose of putting a question to the noble earl in relation to the subject under discuttbien, but was interrupted by The Duke of NEWCASTLE, who begged to explain that since he had addressed their lordships he had com municated with his right honourable friend who made the statement in the House of Commons, and he found that his right hon. friend's st dement was in entire con formity with what he (the Duke of Newcastle) had stated. His right hon. friend did not say there would be no blockade this year of Archangel, but stated what he (the Duke of Newcastle) had also stated, that for the present it was decided there should be no blockade ; that that determination had been arrived at after communi cation and in full concert with the French Government ; and that no alteration of that determination would be come to except by the - same means of an intercommu nication between the two Governments. THE SECRETARYSHIP FOR THE WAR DE PARTMENT. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH begged to call their lordships' attention to a subject to which reference had been made in, the early part of the session by a noble lord (Earl Grey), whom he regretted was not then present, respecting the constitution of the various mili tary departments. There was a report, which at least appeared under circumstances that entitled it undoubt edly to very great consideration, that it is the intention of her Majesty's Government, after having fully consi dered the subject, to propose that for the present the de partment of Secretary of Statefor War shall be separated from the department of the Colonies. If that be true, as he (the Earl of Ellenborough) trusted it was, it was a subject to him of very great gratification. He thought he might congratulate the country upon a measure which, according to his view, would materially influence the due conduct of the war, and he should more particu larly venture to congratulate the noble duke now at the head of the two departments at being able to devote the entire of his time and attention to the most important subject that could occupy any man, and at being relieved from the annoyance connected with the colonial part of his duties ; but upon this subject he must also say, that I although he had heard with great gratification that this step was to be taken, and that there would be one mem ber of the Government to whom could be solely confided the conduct of the war, and the responsibility of it and all its details, he must say he did not desire that at the present moment any further step should be taken. (Hear.) He thought they had better pause—that it would not do to.break up a number of different depart ments in the State of very great importance, all con nected with the conduct of the war, and that it was most advisable at the present moment, when they. ere in the presence of an enemy, to take no step which was not absolutely necessary—to make no movement in the way of change which was not dictated by clear experi ence and urged upon them by the most important con siderations. (Hear, heae.) It would be for the Secre .tary of State, who would have the sole conduct of the war, to see whether there was any conflict of authority, and to communicate at once to his colleagues, and if ne cessary to Parliament, the existence of any obstacle to the execution of those orders which he might think it necessary to give. (Hear, hear.) He (the Earl of Ellenborough) could not doubt that he would receive the full support of his colleagues and of Par liament, and that it would be the determination of Par liament and of the country that the responsibility of the conduct of the war should rest upon one head , a nd that no one, whatever office or position he might fi ll, sh o uld interfere in any manner to impede the publ ic service. (Hear, hear.) It would not do in difficult times to have men in office of whom be might express h imself in these terms—" injussu interpretari qua malun t," because that which was most necessary was cordial co-operation. g th en at (Hear, hear.) While he said that , he must at the same time express a hope that it would n ot be cousid!redne -7" it o e r r m y ed duty civil which iofficehby ne cessary to create any new estab lishment of cl erks ha d to carry on the duties of this ne w de p artment. He a class What the Secretary for the Wa r De p artment wanted was, not t n alec o em f o a ue i n t n h twwh in eo r ep t ses placede passed n a b public ic o 00 c f moe offices t oi n i f t i i tn o t : n et i o ho f ing c , h l a e en v e d e t r who o yo u . ng n military bet t staff . r military officers placed under h im, having entirely his codcleuce, selected from the Tarim departments of the ae he of had civil to clerks,perform could a x.V / .Z i ~G ,_ [PRICE SD. • service--engineers, artillery, cavalry, and infantry—men who had served in various parts of the globe, and were acquainted with the actual duties of a war ; the business could be better managed by them than by any civil clerks it would be possible to find. (Hear, hear.) There was one other advantage in carrying on the business of a great department by officers ; they might be sure that they would preserve the most absolute secrecy. It was a matter of honour with an officer to keep absolutely secret anything that was confided to him. (Hear, hear.) He would also venture to suggest f r the consideration of the Government that he thought it would be most un desirable to make any military change that could be avoided ; but might it not be advisable to place under the Secretary for the War Department all the military in England, as well as the military abroad ? (Hear, hear.) He believed that at the present moment the disposition of the regular troops in England was within the power, not of the Secretary for the War Depart. ment, but of the Secretary of the Home Department ; and on all occasions where the Secretary for the War Department might think it necessary to send troops to reinforce the stations abroad, it was necessary to com municate with the Home Secretary, who was in posses. sion of those troops. He might be under a misappre hension on this subject, but he could not but think that it would undoubtedly be most desirable that the military arm of the country, at home and abroad, should be in one hand. He could not omit to say, that the Secretary of War could not but consider himself in reality, as he was officially, the head of both cervices, and competent to dispose of the naval as well as of the military forces of the country. (Hear, hear.) If there should be a di versity of opinion or any disunion between the authori ties at the head of the military and naval services, espe cially in a war which must be carried on by combined operations, the greatest inconvenience and detriment to the public must ensue. He had now to refer to another matter, which concerned more the members of the Go vernment than the public generally. At the same time, he must say that it would be to him a subject of satis faction, ard he thought it might be conducive to their convenience, as well as to the convenience of the public, if this constitution of a war department were not to lead to the addition of any new person to the Cabinet, or to any alteration in the distribution of official duties. It might be found possible enough for a time, at least as an experiment, to discharge the duties of the colonial de partment with the duties of some other department that was not overburdened. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ABERDEEN—The subject that has been adverted to by my noble friend has for some time en gaged the consideration of the Government. The emer gency of the time imperatively demanded such conside ration ; but I am not in a condition to explain to my noble friend or to the house what is the result of the in quiry, and of the consideration that has been given to this subject. My noble friend has suggested various measures for our adoption. We are obliged to him for furnishing us with his ideas on the subject, and, of course, whatever falls from him naturally deserves at tention on the part of those for whose advantage it is uttered; but I will say this, that when the result on this subject sball be arrived at, which will be without any delay whatever, I trust it will be satisfactory to this house and to the country. (Hear, hear.) On the motion of the noble earl, their lordships then adjourned to Friday next. - -4, ceived the final accounts from India, which ware closed on the last day of April. CHOLERA IN JAMAICA. Sir J. PA.BINGTON wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether her Majesty's Govern ment have lately received any information as to the reap pearance of cholera in Jamaica ' • and whether it is intended to take any measures, either by the renewal of the appoint ment of an inspector, or otherwise, for the promotion of sanitary regulations in the West Indies ? Mr. F. PEEL stated that in the early part of this year some cases had occurred, but it was hoped by this am* that the epidemic had subsided. The West India colonies. were uniting together for the purpose of establishing sana tory regulations for each. THE lONIAN FLAG. Mr. HUME asked how ships, with the lonian flag, now under the protection of England, will be treated by Russia. —are they to be neutral in the eyes of England and France? Lord J. RUSSELL said, after mature deliberation, it had been decided by the Government and the Law Officers of the Crown, that the lonian Islands being under the pro tection of her Majesty,could not be considered as a neutral state. OPERATIONS IN THE BALTIC. Mr. HUME asked the right hon. the First Lord of the Admiralty, if he could give the house any information of the operations of the fleet in the Baltic? Sir J. GRAHAM replied that to-day a despatch had been received at the Admiralty from Sir C. Napier, which was dated " Hango Bay, at the en trance of the Gulf of Finland, 23d May," and which gave an account of a gallant exploit that had been performed by the Arrogant, a frigate, and a small steam vessel under the command of Captain Hall, called the Hecla, on the 23d of May. These ships heard of three large Russian merchantmen being at anchor in an inlet fully ten miles inland, and under the fire of s fortress 'of considerable strength, besides a fire of musketry from a large force on troops on land, Captain Hall, in de fiance of the fire both of the fortress and mus ketry, succeeded in getting inland, and in a meat gallant manner cut out the only Russian merchant man he could find there, which he carried back to the fleet in triumph. Sir C. Napier remarked that this exploit was worthy of the best time of our naval history. (Cheers.) He might add that the fleet was in the best order and con. dition. At the time the despatch left the French fleet had not yet joined, bet it was expected to do so la about five or six days, so that by this time it must have joined the British squildron. (Hear, hear.) SUCCESSION DUTY. Mr. HEADLAM asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to introduce, during this session of Parliament, any measure to impose a tax upon land held by corporations, and for permanent objects, equivalent to the Succession Duty imposed upon other lands. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not intended to introduce such a measure this session. DESTSE asked theOFTH THE ARMY. . 17 Sir G. HEATHRC0 nre at War if it was the intention of the Governm en t t o take any make the dress and accoutrements of the armyllO step e s olll. t° v enient, and in accordance with the requirem e nt s o r *atnal service, especially in hot climates ? Mr. S. HERBERT replied that this subject had been under the consideration of Lord Raglan, who had it in contemplation to dispense with the stock of which so much complaint had been made, as well as to make other alters- the tions to render the d ress of troops in the East mere adapted to the climate. (Cheers.) Mr. H. HERBERT asked if it were true that an altera tion was about to be made in the regulations respecting shaving. (A lairzh.) Mr. S. HERBERT could not announce that, any charge had been made in the regulations respecting shaving, but from the terms of Lord Raglan's letter, which had been received on the subject of the dress of the soldiers, it would appear that his attention had been called to that subject also. (Hear.) THE WAR DEPARTMENT. Mr. HUME asked if any steps had been taken to place the military establishments of the country under one head? (Hear.) There were many rumours abroad upon this sub. ject. Every newspaper had its version of the state of the question ; anti surely that house ought to know, especially after the understanding which had been arrived at about it. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said he should state the intentions of the Government on the subject after the recess. PROMOTION IN THE ARMY. Colonel DUNN E asked when the report of the commits tee of inquiry into the subject of promotion in the army would be laid upon the table ? Mr. S. HERBERT said as soon as it was presented. CHANGES IN MILITARY ACCOUTREMENTS. Lord A. VANE asked whether the Secretary at War would have any objection to state who was the author of the new kind of cap lately issued to the army, as it was • subject of considerable curiosity? (A laugh.) The SECRETARY AT WAR did not answer. MERCANTILE LAW. Mr. D. SEYMOUR asked whether the evidence taken by the mercantile law commission would soon be laid on the table ? Mr. CARDWELL said the evidence was already printed, and the report had been on the table since Easter; and the only reason it had not been distributed was that one of the commissioners, who had submitted a separate report, had not yet completed it. STATUTE LAW COMMISSION. Mr. J. PHILLIMORE asked what progress had been made by the statute law commissioners, and whether any portion of their labours would be printed before the close of the session ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the commissioners had completed their inquiry, and the result of their la. hours was already on the table of the other house, and would soon be on the table of this. TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL. Mr. MALINS asked whether it was intended to bring in this bill on the 12th, the day for which it stood ? Lord J. RUSSELL said he could not positively say, but it was intended. Mr. WALPOLE desired to know if any statement would be made as to the amount of compensation which would be required ? Lord J. RUSSELL said a statement would be made on that point. REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS. Mr. A. PELLATT moved for returns of the amount paid out of the poor rates in the year 1853, by the over seers of the several parishes, for registration of electors in England and Wales (by the certificate of the revising bar rister). Of the amount paid out of the county rate to the clerks of the peace, for the expenses of registration, in the year 1853. And of the amount paid by the Treasury for the services of the revising barristers in England and Wales for the year 1853.—Agreed to. MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. Mr. HORSFALL asked the President of the Board of Trade if this bill, in which great, alterations had been made, had not better be postponed ? Mr. CARDWELL said he had arranged most of its de tails with the representatives of the seaports, and antici pated no difficulty in passing through committee. Indeed a notice of a motion to refer it to a select committee had been withdrawn. It had been suggested, however, that by reprinting the bill as amended its consideration would be facilitated—(hear, hear)—and if that were the wish of the house he would accede to it. (Hear.) Mr. HENLEY expressed a strong opinion that rich a course would be desirable, and Mr. CARDWELL assented to it. BUSINESS AFTER THE RECESS. Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government intended, on Thursday and Friday next, to take committees of supply. Mr. CO BD EN asked what estimates. Mr. WILSON said the miscellaneous. THE WINE DUTIES. Mr. RICH asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whe ther, in the event of any reduction of duty on foreign wine, provision would be made (in accordance with a general order of the 20th July, 1832) for allowing to certain dealers a return duty on all such wines having paid duty thereon within a named time, as should be found in such dealers' possession at the time of the reduction of the duty ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there was a Treasury order, dated in 1842, referring to reduc tions of duty on wine, in consequence of any co nvention , with foreign countries, and providing that in such eisas a drawback should be allowed on wine in the possession of dealers. He hail not heard of any such conventions, but if any should take place, the Government would be pre pared to act on the principle of that order.

(Hear, hear.) There was one exception to this which the committee should bear la mind, because the charges with which the collection of tke land revenue of the Crown was burdened were not made the subject of any estimate. The reason was that the House of Commons —or, as he might say, the Legislature — were not in full and absolute possession of this land revenue, or the estates from which it proceeded; the estates remain ed the estates of the Crown, and the country had the pro ceeds of those estates during the life of her Majesty, upon the specific terms of the Civil List Act.

GEORGE FRANCIS, LATE TREASURER AT ASTLEY'S. CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODY. Yesterday afternoon Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, held a lengthened inquiry, at the Mar quis of Wellington Tavern, South-street, Hercules-build ings, Lambeth, respecting the circumstances attending the death of Mr. George Francis, aged 49 years, late treasurer at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre and Vauxhall Gardens. Mrs. Hannah Maria Knight, of 8, Canterbury-place, Lambeth, said that the deceased resided in the next house, with his wife and family. The preceding day (Thursday), about four o'clock, she was called in to see the deceased by his wife, when she found him in bed, with his hands laid over his forehead. Messrs. Collam bell and Sewell, the surgeons, were called in, and they pronounced life extinct. The deceased appeared to be the over-night in a very healthy state, and she never heard him complain of any affection. She had no rea son to think that deceased had done anything to cause his own death. He was a very kind father and hus band, and lived on the most affectionate terms with his wile. Sarah Cronin, a single woman, said that she was a servant to the deceased. On Wednesday last her master came home at his usual hour to dinner, when he ap peared perfectly well. He left at six o'clock in the even ing, and she did not see him again until half past eight o'clock the next morning. He went to Vauxhall Gar drns on Wednesday night, when he appeared quite well. The ext morning he complained of a pain in the chest, when n his wife applied mus tard poultices to his stomach and feet. Mr. Frederick Giles,. a biscuit baker, of the Black friars-road, said that he met the 'deceased at Vauxhall Gardens on Wednesday night last, when he told him that be was looking after Mr. Wardell, the manager, and he seemed then rather dull. f, After that he appeared very excited, arid he ran after a man who had struck a female. He did not consider that deceased had, how ever, received any injury in the gardens. L ceasedam be t t h h - e r o p a r d e , v o sa u i s d d t a l t w h h e e n w a h s e called d i h n i m t o Mr. Charles C o ll am bell, surgeon, of Lambeth - terrac e, the cause of death was f q s u ee ite th d e e d: dead. His opinion was that from some vessel near the heart giving way, probably accelerated by excitement. The learned coroner having summed up, the jury re• turned a verdict of " Died from natural causes." NOTTINGHAM TRADE.- —Our trade, both languid and spiritless lace .nd and hosiery, continues spell-bound by thesame spiritless tone pictured in our last. In theform former branches a want of employment is beginning to be ex perienced, or rather has been felt for the last fortnight, a mongst menders and others, deprived of their Bs. a week, their sole dependence , which must lead to con siderable distress amongst the classes least able to bear depression. In hosiery the Americans are operating to some extent, but the home trade is flatter than has almost ever been known in the experience of those en gaged in business. Half the round frames are sa id t o have been disc ontinued, which must considerably abridge production. And yet cotton, yarns, and materials gene rally are on the decline.

STUART, from a place in Wales, approving of the war, but expressing a hope that ample guarantees would be taken against any future aggressions of Russia, and that at the conclusion of peace Russia would be made to pay the expenses of the war ; by Mr. B.

LOWE, signed by 3,700 inhabitants of the colony of New South Wales, against the constitution agreed to and sent home by their Local Legislature. On the motion of the hon. member, this petition was read by the Clerk at the table. WHITSUNTIDE RECESS. 14 On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, it was agreed that the house at its rising should adjourn until Thursday next. NEW WRITS. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that in the cases of the city of Canterbury and the boroughs of Cambridge, Kingston upon-Hull, Malden, and Barnstaple, where the seats of members have been declared void by election committees on the grounds of bribery or treating, no motions for the issuing of new writs shall be made without seven days' previous notice being given in the votes. . Mr. W. 0. STANLEY contended that it WAS highly un satisfactory to allow these cases to remain in their present position. He was chairman of the committee which sat upon the Barnstaple petition, and the bribery and corrup tion established in that case was of so glaring a character that steps should be taken to put a stop to it in future. In 1819 this house passed a bill to disfranchise the borough on account of its corrupt state, but the bill was thrown out of the Lords. Tho same parties who carried on tho bribery in 1819 were also the parties guilty of the corruption in 1852, and sometbing ought to be done beyond merely suspending the writ. He wished, therefore, to ask the noble lord if the Government have any intention to propose any further measures for the repression of bribery and corruption in those boroughs which have been the subject of inquiry under commis sioners specially appointed ; and if they propose the sus pension of the writs until any such measures shall have been considered by the house. Mr. BUCK thought the Conservative party of Barnstaple had been very badly treated by the house. Attempts had been made to establish bribery against them by means of perjury which was wholly unnecessary, because at the commission 240 electors came forward voluntarily to con fess their past faults, on the understanding that they would not be punished for the confession. An effort had been unsuccessfully made to break that pledge, but now that the bill was withdrawn which was to have accomplished that, he hoped the house would let byegones be byegones, and consent to issue a new writ for the borough. Mr. F. FRENCH thought the house was taking an un constitutional course in delaying the issue of these writs. Mr. L. KING moved, as au amendment, that no new writ should issue in any of these cases, until the 30th of December next. Mr. DISRAELI supported the original motion but at the same time he announced that at the expiration of the seven days notice ho should not be prepared to consent to any further postponement of these writs. Mr. BOUVERIE reminded the house that the course they were taking was likely to be attended with great in convenience, because in consequence of this seven days' notice, the motion for issuing the writ would take the motion out of the category of a question of privilege, and it could not be brought on at an early period of the even ing, but could only be taken in its turn. He should there fore move that when the motion was to be made for the issue of one of these writs, it should take the precedence of all other.businoss. Mr. GOULBURN should object to that addition to the motion. Sir E. DERING supported the original motion. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought the issue of these writs ought to bo postponed until the noble lord's new reform bill was introduced. (A. laugh.) These were such gross cases of corruption that there was no getting to the bottom of them, and to allow these writs to be issued without first taking steps to prevent a repetition of such abuses would be simply absurd. It would be tanta mount to telling the country that the house was not sincere in its desire to prevent bribery and cor ruption. These boroughs had been convicted of in sufferable corruption, and now the house shrank from the task of inflicting upon them the punishment which they so well merited, namely, to disfranchise them, and establish new constituenc ies. The war could not I sst for ever, servo though no doubt thi s y ear it would tae purpose of defeating all measures of social reform , but let the war be broug ht to an end, in any , measure of Parliamentary Reform would remainu popular house, b eca use the house was no t in earnest in either that or this matter. Mr. BRIGHT had no difficulty in .saying that tho house ought to agree to the original resolution. The pun inishment al of bribery as inflicted by the house was most effectu for its purpose, and since there was no means of meeting these cases of bribery the most prudent and con stitutional course for the house was disposed of these cases in that easy way, it would then be open to the house to consider what steps should be taken for the prevention of bribery, and then he should be prepared to urge V. ballot as the best remedy for the evil. J. V. SHELLEY also believed that bribery would never be put an end to until the ballot was adopted. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to Mr. STANLEY'S ques tion, stated that it was not understood to propose any fresh measures with regard to these boroughs ; but he be lieved if the writs were delayed until a now law of bribery, which was now being investi g ated b y a s elect committee, there would be seine chance of the abuse being checked at the next election. Mr. J. HUME asked if the new law in contemplation failed, would there be any objection to try the ballot. Lord J. RUSSELL replied that if the new m eans failed the Government would be prepared with some other remedy. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the original motion was agreed to. NEWSPAPER STAMP. Mr. M. GIBSON . gave notice that after the recess he should ask the Government what course they intended to take in consequence of the resolution which the house had come to on the subject of the newspaper stamp. SALT MONOPOLY OF INDIA. In reply to Sir J. PAKINGTON, Sir C. WOOD stated that a correspondence had taken place with the Government of India on the subject of the salt tax, and an inquiry was now going on with the view of ascertaining if the duty could not be collected by way of excise.
