Sir J.

Lord PALMERSTON immediately rose, and was re ceived with considerable cheering. He said—Sir, the hon. and reverend gentleman—(laughter)— Mr. COBDEN, interrupting—l rise to order. The noble lord has, I believe, made use of an epithet in speaking of my hon. friend, that is not justified by the rules of this house. (Hear, and some laughter.) I trait I shall not misinterpret his meaning when I say that it was not in tended to be personally offensive, but I think I shall not be contradicted by a majorityof this house when I saythat it was flippant and undeserved. Lord PALMERSTON—I will not quarrel about words —(a laugh) —but as the hon. gentleman has been pleased to advert to the circumstance of my being chairman at the dinner to which allusion has been made, and as he has been Kind enough to express an opinion as to my conduct on that occasion, I deem it right to inform the hon. gentleman that any opinion he may entertain either of me personally, or of my conduct, private or political, is to me a matter of the most perfect indifference. (Cheers and laughter.) lam further convinced that the opinion of this country with regard to me and to my conduct will in no way whatever be influenced by anything that the hon. gentleman may say. I therefore treat the censure of the hon. gentleman with the most perfect indifference and contempt. (Some cries of " Order !") Is that Parliamentary or not ? (Laugh ter.) If it is not, I do not insist upon the expression. (Cheers and laughter.) The hon. gentleman has stated that he felt the greatest pain on reading the proceedings which took place at this dinner. That pain arises, no doubt, from the manner in which the members of the Reform Club were pleased to testify their confidence in Sir Charles Napier, and their satisfaction at finding that a distinguished member of his profession, happening also to be a member of the club, had been selected for a most important post at a time of great public, emergency. The hon. member, I d are s ay, read with great pain an account of any manifes tation tending in any degr ee t owar d s th e express i on of an opinion that there should be a recourse to arms, no matter what might be the interests or the cause at stake. (Cheers.) The hon. member, I have no doubt, sympathises with that respectable gentleman whose pamphlet I read on a former occasion, and I daresay the hon. member is of opinion that this country ought to submit to any degradation rather than have recourse to war. (Hear, hear.) That is an opinion which the hon. member is perfectly justified in maintaining. Ido not dispute his right to maintain such an opinion, but he stands almost singly in that opini o n on this occasion, with the great majority of the country against him. I can only say that I felt very proud at being invited by the Reform Club, to preside at the dinner to which allusion has been made. (Loud cheers.) I thought it an honour conferred on me when I was asked to preside at a dinner given to my gallant friend Sir Charles Napier. The hon. member for Man chester thinks that Sir Charles Napier is too old for his duties. The result will show whether he is too old or not. (Cheers.) The hon. member for Manchester, moreover, thinks that these dinner arrangements must be Cabinet questions. Now, I can assure him that they are open ques tions. (Cheers and laughter.) They are not discussed in the Cabinet ; and, though I confess the speech of the hon. member was calculated to excite any but a friendly feeling on my part, I will only say, in conclusion, that if he should get himself elected a member of the Reform Clab— (cries from several hon. members of " He is !")—Oh ! he is a member, is he ? (Much laughter.) A most unworthy member, I must say. (Renewed laughter.) If, however, the hon. memb er s h ou ld f a ll i n t o th e humour of the Re form Club (a laugh), and should attend the next dinner which is given in honour of a distinguished officer who is about proceeding upon an important public service, I can only say that we shall be happy to hear his speech. (Laughter.) Although it might not add to the conviviality of the evening, yet I can assure the hon. gentleman that, whether he may be in that state in which ho assumes my right hon. friend (Sir J. Graham) not to have been (a laugh), or whether he may be able—as I doubt not he would be—to go through the festivities of the evening with the same clearness of intellect as he manifests on all occa sions in this house, I can assure him that we shall be ready to discuss with him any question—public or private, of peace or of war, which he may choose to start, and I should not think that he disgraced himself by attending a dinner given by the club to any distinguished man whom the club might think proper to honour by inviting him to partake of their hospitality. (Cheers.) Sir T. HERBERT said, the observations to which allu sion had been made had been read with great surprise, and, he might say, with great pain by members of the profession to which he had the honour to belong. (Hear, hear.) He would be the last man to grudge his distin guished and gallant friend, Sir C. Napier, any compliment or honour that might be paid to him; but he (Sir T. Her bert), conceiving that the !engine° attributed to a gentle man holding the high position of First Lord of the Admi ralty, as having been addressed to a political club, was most extraordinary, deemed it his duty to put the following question to the right hon. baronet :—Whether certain words attributed to him in a speech delivered at a dinner given in the Reform Club to Admiral Sir C: Napier had been correctly reported, which appear in the Times of the Bth day of March, viz., " We, as Reformers, may be proud that the honour of the British flag in the Euxine and the Baltic is intrusted to two such champions as Admiral Dun des and Sir C. Napier?" Sir J. GRAHAM—If the hon. and gallant admiral deli berately thinks it his duty to pat the question to me with which he has concluded, and if I am to collect that the house thinks it becoming to pursue this inquiry further and to entertain this subject deliberately, I shall not hesi tate to answer the question which has been put by the gal lant admiral. I believe that the words which he has read are correctly reported, and I have nothing to retract or to explain in those words. (Cheers.) I was invited as a guest to the Reform Club; and it did appear to me that it was neither improper nor inappropriate to congratulate the members of that club that two of their oldest and most distinguished members—(loud cries of "hear, hear") that two of their oldest and most dis tinguished members had been selected for the command of two such important fleets as the fleet in the Euxine and the fleet in the North Sea ; and I did say that I, as a Re former, certainly with them rejoiced, that two members of their club had been considered sufficiently trustworthy and well qualified to be the champions of the British flag at a moment, and in an emergency like the present. (Hear, hear.) Again I say that I have nothing to regret or to retract in respect to that expression. But the hon. and gallant officer, since he has studied the report of what was said upon that occasion, should not, I think, in justice to me, have neglected to notice the comment with which I prefaced those words; I said that in my opinion politics were rightly excluded from the naval profession. (Hear, and cries of "Oh !" from the Opposition.) Ido not be lieve that into the selection either of Admiral Dundas or of Sir C. Napier political considerations entered in the slightest degree. (Hear, hear.) All I can say is that, in administering the patronage of the Admiralty to the best of my judgment, I have conscientiously and invariably en deavoured to make that sentiment the rule of my conduct. (Cheers.) Sir W. MOLESWORTH—With reference to the obser vations which have been made by the hon. member for Manchester upon my attending the recent dinner at the Reform Club, I may be permitted to state that I at. tended there as a member, and a very old member, of the club. (Hear, hear.) Upon that occasion I was called upon to propose the health of the Turkish Minister. In so doing I expressed very briefly what were my views as to what had been and what ought to be the policy of her Ma jesty's Government. I said that they had endeavoured to the utmost of their power to preserve peace—that their efforts had been unsuccessful—that the time for vigorous action had come, and that I hoped success would attend our arms. In expressing those sentiments lam not aware that I said anything of which I need be ashamed. Cer tainly I said nothing that I should have forborne to express either in this house or anywhere else, and I may be per mitted to add, that I do not think I said anything at all opposed to any opinion that I have ever entertained. The hon. member for Manchester has thought proper to accuse me of some change in my opinions since I have had a seat upon these (the Treasury) benches. I beg to give to that charge a flat contradiction. Ido not in any way acknow ledge the right of the right hon. member to be my poli tical guide or leader, and while I respect his talents, he will permit me to say of him, that though I think he is an able man, I at the same time think that he is full of illibe ral and narrow-minded prejudices. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRA.ELI—I am inclined to think that this ques tion has been met, perhaps, in rather too serious a spirit, for I cannot help thinking that there are some extenuating circumstances which might be alleged at the present mo ment upon the part of the right hon. gentleman the First Lord of the Admiralty. It is, perhaps, possible that the right hon. gentleman may indiscreetly have interfered for an instant with the exercise of the prerogative, and that he may have told Sir C. Napier that he was at liberty to declare war. But it is a matter of considerable notoriety that Sir C. Napier never obeys orders —(a laugh) ; and, therefore, taking a charitable view of the matter, I con sider that when the right hon. gentleman told Sir C. Napier that he might declare war, he was quite con fident that Sir C. Napier would maintain peace. (Re towed laughter.) I think, also, that perhaps too much has been made by my gallant friend, the admiral, of the declaration of th e r i g ht h on . gen tl eman , th a t h e f e lt consi derable gratification at our two powerful fleets at this me hbeing commanded by Refor mers .

On tbe contrary, in consequence, I suppose, J consistently with their public duty to state to the house of the abuse of her Majesty's Ministers, th e E m p e ror of the I and the public the course which they intended to pursue.

(Hear.) stating that a public declaration having been made in a Remembering this, therefore, I have no doubt that in the despatch from the Foreign Department of the country to invective delivered the other day against the Emperor of our consul at Riga upon this subject, he thought it was Mr. DISRAELI asked whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer meant to go on with ways and means at that hour (twelve o'clock) ? He certainly should object. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not ask the committee to commence then, if it were intended to oppose the resolutions at every stage. If it was only intended to debate then he thought they might proceed. Mr. DISRAELI said no one yet had pretended to give any opinion of the financial scheme, nor had there been fit opportunity for its discussion. The house would, he was sure, be prepared to support her Majesty in the impending war, but it did not necessarily follow that the particular form in which the ministerial proposition presented itself was the form which the house would agree to. It was a proposal virtually to double the tax, which of late years had been subject to considerable criticism, and had met with much opposition, and which had been characterised by hop. members on the opposite side of the house as unjust, oppressive, and inquisitorial. He would not contend that that was a reason why the house should not vote an increase of the tax when the exigencies of the country required it ; but it was a reason, when statesmen of such high au thority and influence had described this tax in such epi thets, why the house should not come to a vote on the subject without due thought and deliberation. (Hear.) The reason why hon. members who had formerly charac terised the tax as unjust, oppressive, and inquisitorial, voted in favour of its continuance last year, was that by so doing they would secure a large measure of Parliamen tary reform. The house would recollect that they now had the income tax without the modification which the late Government had proposed, and they did not appear to have much chance of a large measure of Parliamentary reform. (Hear, hear.) But, with respect to this proposal to double the income tax, it would first be necessary to consider the state of the finances and resources of the country before coming to a final conclusion; and the question which would be perpetually recurring would be, why was this increase of the tax demanded, and what was the object of that mys terious struzgle in which the country was now about to engage ? The papers presented to Parliament had not yet fully explained the state and progress of the question, and supplementary documents were promised to be laid upon the table. He thought the better plan would be to postpone the committee of ways and means until Friday next, when they would be in a batter position to form an opinion on the subject. With respect to those additional docu ments, he trusted that they would be given in. cxtenso. In a diplomatic correspondence there might be occasions when it was right and proper to omit portions of a private and confidential character; but in a case like this, where the correspondence was entirely of a confidential character, no extracts ought to be made, and no portion of it kept back. You could not have extracts'of confidential corres pondence. (Hear.) He hoped, therefore, that her Majesty's Ministers would bear this in mind, and that the whole of the correspondence referred to in the Journal of St. Pe tersburg, and the whole of the answers referred to in an other authoritative print, would be laid upon the table before the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer asked for the important vote on the paper. The house was about to divide on the motion for going into committee, but on the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer the house went into committee ; anti the re solution having been read the Chairman reported progress, and obtained' leave to sit again on Friday. The Mutiny Bill was read a third time and passed ; the Marine Mutiny Bill, as amended, was agreed to ; and the Exchequer-bills' (1,750,0001.) Bill went through com mittee. Mr. DISRAELI—Sir, I wish to make an inquiry of her Majesty's Ministers respecting some account of their con. duct which has recently appeared in two newspapers. One of these journals is published at St. Petersburg—the other is published in London. The first journal is called the Jour nal of St. Petersburg, and the other journal is the Times. In a number of the Journal of St. Petersburg recently pub lished, there is a statement that about this time last year, or even at an earlier date, communication took place be tween her Majesty's Government and the Government of Russia, of a very confidential character, in which, accord. ing to the allegations in the Journal of St. Petersburg, the most frank and unreserved declaration was made by the Emperor of Russia of his views present and future with re spect to the condition of the Turkish empire. I need not remind the house that any statement made in the Journal of St Petersburg is always considered an authoritative and official statement. Sir, on Saturday last an article appear ed—a leading article—in the English newspaper, the Times, and I believe I have a right to assume that that also was an authoritative and official statement, because it referred to circumstances which could be known not only to men who were Privy Councillors, but only to Privy Councillors who were Cabinet Ministers. In that leading article of Saturday last, in the Times, there is a notice of this statement in the Journal of St. Petersburg, namely, that in the early part of last year there was a lengthened correspondence between the Russian Government and her Majesty's Government, in which frank and unreserved ex positions of the sentiments and views of the Emperor of Russia, with regard to the state of the Turkish empire, was made. In the Times newspaper the authenticity of that statement is unequivocally admitted. It is not only admitted, but allusions are made to public despatches written by the then Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs, the noble lord opposite, in reply to those commu nications from St. Petersburg. More than that. In this authoritative and official article in the Times newspaper there is a reference to certain communications upon the same subject, namely, the condition of the Turkish em pj.re, which occurred between her Majesty's Government and the Emperor of Russia personally during his visit to this country in the year 1844, connecting these communications of the year 1844, in similarity of nature and identity of subject, with the correspondence referred to at the present moment in the Journal of St. Petersburg. The inquiry which I wish to make of her Majesty's Government is this —whether they are prepared to lay upon the table of the house the correspondence which tookpla.ce at the beginning of last year, and which does not appear among the papers which her Majesty has graciously permitted us to see— this correspondence referred to in the Journal of St. Peters burg, and acknowledged in the Times as an authentic cor respondence ? Further, I wish to inquire of the noble lord if he can inform the house whether there we,s in the yea' 1844 any arrangement or understanding between her Ma jesty's Government and the Emperor of Russia when he was in this country—reminding the house that the distinguished individual who is now Prime Minister of England was then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs —whether, if there were such understanding or arrangement, it was reduced to writing, and if reduced to writing, whether the noble lord is prepared also to lay that document on the table of the house, if he be prepared to lay on the table the corms• pondence to which I have referred. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL—Sir, with respect to the two articles in the newspapers, to which the right hon. gentleman has referred, I have to answer, that I saw on Saturday the article in the Journal of St. Petersburg, to which he has alluded, containing the allegations which he has stated to the house. With regard to another article, which he at tributes likewise to an official source, I did not see that article, nor any part of it, until I saw some extracts from it in a newspaper to-day ; and I did not know, until the right hon. gentleman just mentioned it, that the article re ferred to a memorandum drawn up in 1844. Mr. DISRAELI—I did not say memorandum. Lord J. RUSSELL—WeII, then, communication. Sir, I have given no authority whatever to the Times newspaper to state what was my conduct when I held the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Now, with respect to the circumstances which did occur. It is the usual practice, I believe—it certainly has been the usual prac tice, so long as I have known anything of public affairs— not to lay before Parliament any communications 'which take place between her Majesty's ambassadors and mini sters abroad, and the Sovereign to whom they are ad dressed, nor is it usual, when these conversations aro of so confidential a nature that they should be laid before Parliament. Now, it is perfectly true, that in the course of last year the Emperor of Russia held a confidential com munication with Sir Hamilton Seymour with respect to the affair of Turkey. That communication reached this country in the shape of a despatch from Sir Hamilton Sey mour, and it was my duty as Secretary of State for Fo reign affairs to lay before the Cabinet a despatch in answer to that communication, which despatch was afterwards forwarded to St. Petersburg. Some further communi cations took place with Lord Clarendon and Sir Hamil ton Seymour. I have stated what I think is the `usual practice, and what I think is the just rule on the subject, that such communications should not be laid before Par liament, because it is obvious that if they were laid before Parliament they might lead to dangerous consequences. But as the Journal of St. Petersburg, permitted and au thorised, no doubt, by the Government of Russia, has al luded to these confidential communications, her Majesty's Government can no longer have any scruple in laying all the correspondence upon the table of the house. (Cheers.) I trust that that correspondence will show that, while we evinced every respect for the Emperor of Russia, we re pelled every suggestion which would tend to the dismem berment of Turkey. (Cheers.) With respect to the fur ther question which the right hon. gentleman asks, namely, as to the conversation that took place in 1814, it is cer tainly true that when the Emperor of Russia was in this country in that year he held a conversation, I believe, with the Duke of Wellington, with Sir R. Peel, and with the Earl of Aberdeen, then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. I believe the substance of that conversation was consigned to a memorandum, and that the late Minister of Russia in this country (Baron Brunow) was cognisant of and assented to the correctness of that memorandum. I am not able to give so positive an answer as to the produc tion of that document as I have given to the other question of the right hon. gentleman. This memorandum lam not been lately under the view of the members of her M a . jesty's Government, and therefore I wish to reserve my answer on that point. (Hear, hear.) But with respect to the correspondence to which I before alluded, namely, the correspondence which took place in the course of last year, I have no hesitation in laying it upon the table of the house. (Cheers.) THE OATHS BILL—THE SETTLEMENT AND REMOVAL BILL. Sir F. THESIGER inquired whether the noble lord in tended to move the second reading of the Oaths Bill on Monday, or whether the second reading of the Settlement Removal Bill would be proceeded with on that day ;. and if so, on what day th e secon d rea di ng o f the O a th s Bil l was likely to be moved ? THE INSURRECTION IN TURKEY. Mr. M. MILNES called the attention of the house to the circumstances of the Greek insurrection in Turkey, and expressed apprehensions that the most disastrous conse quences would follow if it were permitted to be suppressed with unrestrained cruelty and violence. It was the duty of this country to endeavour by mediation and every fair means to put a stop to these calamities, and the appoint. ment of a British commissioner to watch the contest might be attended with the best effects. Since we were com pelled to mak) war, it should be our object to make even war the instrument of civilisation, and to advance the moral and intellectual welfare of the world. Lord J. RUSSELL—I have no difficulty in saying that I agree very much in the opinions of my hon. friend who has addressed the house. I agree with him in thinking that it is our duty to do all that is in our power to improve the condition of the Christian subjects of the Porto, and in fluencing its conduct as far as we can; for it is impossible not to assent to what my hon. friend stated in the early part of his speech, that notwithstanding the most liberal edicts on the part of the Sultan, and the greatest anxiety on the part of his Ministers to carry into effect the laws with equal justice to all his subjects, there are, by means sometimes of ignorant and corrupt persons, but more frequently by means of a licentious soldiery, great evils inflicted upon the subjects of the Sultan, of which neither he nor his Ministers could approve. The advice that has been at all times given by Lord Stratford, has tended very much to mitigate the evil ; and only very lately he advised the Sul tan, upon the breaking out of this insurrection, that none but regular and well-disciplined troops should be employed for its suppression. My hon. friend is quite right in saying that part of this insurrection—l believe the greater part— was owing to the conduct of the soldiery who were sent to put downinsurrection movements; but, sir, at the same time we think it our duty to discourage as much as possible these movements. We cannot think that an insurrection among the Christian subjects of the Porte would tend to im prove their condition, or lead to any other result than to place them in a far worse and more helpless state of sla very than any to which they have hitherto been reduced. (Hear, hear.) It has been so fully stated by a noble friend of mine (Lord Shaftesbury) in another place, that I have no need to prove what would be the effect of these persons, owing to their insurrection, becoming subject to Russia, and I certainly shall not go into that part of the question. Every one knows that the light of the Gospel, which I be lieve is permitted by the Sultan and his Ministers to pene trate through all classes of Christians who are under his 3w ay, is entirely opposed to insurrections. This insurrec tion can tend to no advantage to these tribes; but, on the contrary, can only divert the forces of the Porte when it is in jeopardy from a foreign antagonist. Every effort will be made by her Majesty's Government to induce the Sultan to improve the condition of all his Christian sub jects, and to allow the maxims of justice and equality full force in all his dominians ; but, on the other hand, we shall show the disapprobation of the Government of this country of any insurrectionary movements against the Sultan. With respect to the papers for which my honour dale friend has moved, I believe they are not yet ready at the Colonial-office; but there will be no difficulty in pro ducing them before long. I have nothing further to say, except that there was an allusion in the honourable gentle man's speech which perhaps I ought to notice ; namely, that we ought not to be a party to any agreement or ar rangement for suppressing political movements in Italy. I say distinctly with regard to Italy what I have just said, with regard to Greece, that, feeling, as I do, with the peo ple of Italy, I do not believe they could take a course more obstructive of the attainment of the very result which they desire than that cf rising at the present moment against the Austrian Government. I believe, on the contrary, that if they remain tranquil the time will come when that Government will be not only more humane, but will concede many more popular privileges than would be the case if Italy were to rise in insurrection against the military force of Austria. (Hear, hear.) Mr. RICH wished to elicit a distinct declaration from the Government that our interference was not to favour any dominant race, but on behalf of the whole mass of the population of European Turkey. Lord LOVAINE adverted to published evidence of the maltreatment of the Christian subjects of the Porte, which, he observed, was the erdinary incident of Turkish rule; their treatment depending upon the accident of the charac ter of the Pasha, whether be was a man of humanity or a tyrant and oppressor. He scouted the idea of Turkish toleration, and sought real guarantees for the rights of the Christians. Lord D. STUART considered a suggestion thrown out by Mr. Milnes, that a British commissioner should be sent to Turkey to induce its Government to act with modera tion towards the Greeks, well deserving of attention. The insurrection was not the result of Turkish persecution; it had been produced and fomented, if not by the Govern ment of Greece, at least by persons belonging to the Greek kingdom. He believed that Turkey bad, within the last 30 years, made considerable advances in humanity, as well in civilisation. He had seen in Bulgaria large farms, well stocked with sheep, and a peasantry well clad, well fed, and in appearance contented and happy. Lord C. HAMILTON desired to have a definite answer from the Government as to the position of this country, should the Greek insurrection gain head, and an assurance that our troops would not be employed in putting it down. He palliated the proceedings of Russia in relation to the questions at issue, and inveighed against the weakness and corruption of the Ottoman rule, which had, he said, re peatedly embroiled the affairs of the East. Mr. LAYARD observed it was necessary to inquire into the origin of the outbreak on the part of the Greek subjects of Turkey, which he traced to the mission of a Russian Admiral to Athens by Prince Menschikoff, when he arrived at Constantinople in the beginning of last year, and to the intrigues of Russian agents. He described the position of the Greek races in Turkey and their character ; he praised the moderation of the Ottoman Government ; he contrasted its mild despotism with the iron tyranny of the Czar, and insisted that the object of Russian interference was to crush the spirit of liberalism and reform which was spreading, among the population, as well as among the ruling authorities of Tu r k e y. He related instances of fic titious charges of oppression brought against the Turkish Government, which, he said, where causes of just com plaint existed, removed the offending Pasha from his pashalic. It had been urged that we should enter into a convention or an understanding with the Porte in respect to the treatment of its Christian subjects ; but such a step would justify the very policy of Russia of which we com plained. Mr. E. BALL approved the line of argument taken by Lord C. Hamilton, and, referring to the favourable por traits heretofore drawn of the character of the Emperor of Russia, expressed his belief that that Sovereign had been represented of late in an unfair and ungenerous light, and unlike the man he was. He disclaimed all sympathy with those who cried out for war, the necessity of which he denied, and which, he said, would soon cease to be popular. Lord PALMERSTON said—l hope, sir, that we may be allowed to proceed with the business which is before us. (Hear, hear.) I can assure the home, however, as well as my hon. friend, that nothing can be more at heart w ith us than to use every effort in our power to improve the col dition of the Christian subjects of the Sultan, and to endeavour to have them placed upon a footing of equality with the Mussulman population. But I am sure that it will feel that it would be very unfitting in us to fall into the same course as that which has been so decidedly con demned in the case of the Emperor of Russia, and that the endeavours of her Majesty's Government must be tempered with the consideration of that which is due to the indepen dence of another sovereign and of another country. Now, these changes and reforms have been the object of the anxious endeavours of the British Government for many years; and, as stated by my hon. friend (Mr. Layard) whose personal knowledge and experience enable him to guarantee the fact—great improvements have already been made. In deed, it is only a few days ago that her Majesty's Govern ment received a copy of a firman issued by the Sultan, by for the future, a Christian's testimony is to be re ceived in all cases, civil as well as criminal, in all the courts throughout the Ottoman empire. So that a most important and valuable privilege is thus conferred upon the Chris tians; and there is this remarkable circumstance, which ought not to be entirely lost sight of, that the Christian's evidence is not received upon oath ; for no such custom as that of taking evidence upon oath prevails in that country. So that the testimony of the Christian and the Mussulman will be upon precisely the same footing. Now, sir, we have been told that the Turks have inflicted a great Ulna.

Mr. FREWEN brought inn bill to amend the law for uniting parishes into districts, and the appointment of district surveyors of highways over the parishes so united. The house then adjourned at half-past twelve. BIRMINGHAM, MARCH 13. STOCK EXCHANGE. —There was more than an avers/ amount of business tr ansac t e d on 'Change to-day, and. prices were well maintained. The sales reported at t lO close of business were :—Manchester, Sheff ie ld, an d De . colnshire stock, 22 ; Shrewsbury and Birmingham prefe rence, N. ROUEN.—The letters from Rouen mention that the market for manufactures exhibited a slight improvement, a favourable change in the weather having stimulated business. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.—The commercial ad. vices from New York continue to indicate a recovery in the tone of the stock and money market, although the recent rise had led to some sales for realisation. As compared with the corresponding period of last year, the imports since the Ist of January show an aug mentation of only 5 per cent., while the exports have increased 60 per cent. The supply of specie in the banks was therefore proportionately larger. The de mand for European goods was active, but an erroneous impression appears to have prevailed for some time that large quantities would be sent to New York at a sacrifice from France and England on the commence ment of war, and the dealers had neglected to keep themselves in stock. Under these circumstances in creased orders may soon be looked for in our manufac turing towns, where a falling off in American purchases has been noticed during the past month or two. In that case a moderate resumption of specie arrivals may also be expected. The present steamer, after some weeks' cessation of remittances, has brought 32,0001. BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—In the general business of the port of London during the past week there has been considerable activity. The number of vessels reported inward was 162, being an increase of 22 over the previous week. Of grain there were re ported 36,265 quarters, including 22,047 quarters o f wheat ; of fl our, 18,529 barrels and 7,539 sacks ; of tea, 49,721 packages ; of sugar, 919 hogsheads, 246 casks, 943 cases, and 32,116 bags ; of coffee, 81 casks and 274 bags ; and of rice, 7,411 bags. The number of ships cleared outward was 103, being an increase of 23 over the previous week. Of these, 23 were in ballast, and 12 for the Australian colonies. THE NEW FRENCH LOAN.—Transactions took place yesterday afternoon in the new French Loan at 1 to 11 premium, and at Paris 11 is understood to have been given. It transpired by telegraph yesterday that, in virtue of the power reserved by the Government for that purpose, notice has already been given that no discount will be allowed to any subscribers of more than I,ooof. Rentes on prepayment of the instalments. This will prevent the large dealers from obtaining the anticipated supply of new stock, and, as many of them are said to have effected sales of the old Rentes under an impression that the market would soon be well furnished, it is thought a rise may result, from the necessity they will experience of closing their accounts.

Lord J. itUSSELf: said the Settlement and Removal Bill would be taken on Monday ; the Oaths Bill would not be proceeded with before the 27th. THE PACKET SERVICE. Mr. H. HERBERT asked the First Lord of the Admi ralty whether it was the intention of the Government to take any steps for the improvement of the packet service between Holyhead and Kingstown, in accordance with the recommendation of the committee of last session on Irish postal communication? I - Sir J. GRAHAM said the report had been brought under the consideration of the Board of Admiralty, and he ; had to state to the house what he believed he had already stated on a former occasion—that the packet service throughout the United Kingdom should no longer be conducted by the Government itself but by contract; and at this moment inquiry was making into the subject of the packet service between England and Ireland. The right hon. gentleman made some additional remarks relative to the speed of the packets, but in so low a tone as to be inaudible. ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD. Mr. HILDYARD said the corporation of London were now constructing a street which diverged at the south-east corner of St. Paul's-churchyard, and which would leave a small angular piece of ground between that street and Can non -street. If that piece of ground should remain unbuilt upon, a fine view would be afforded of the eastern part of St. Paul's, and an admirable site would be afforded for the erection of a statute. Perhaps the noble lord might have a posthumous interest in the question he was about to put SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM HOUSE, MARCH 13.

Lord JOCELYN said that he wished to put two ques tions to the Government—one related to the present state of the Baltic trade and the intentions of her Majesty's Government with respect to that trade. Since he had come into the house he had receive i a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury informing him that he would not be able to answer the question to-day. He (Lord Jocelyn) that the question was one which ought t e be answered without delay, for many of his constituents were much alarmed, owing to Government not having made the statement promised a short time ago by the First Lord of the Admiralty, in reply to the right hon. member for Manchester, in reference to neutrals. As he understood that the right hon. gentleman intended to bring the ques tion forward, he (Lord Jocelyn) would be content to leave the question in his hands. (Hear, hear.) POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH AUSTRALIA. Lord JOCELYN said that the second question which he wished to ask was this. He wished to ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequer what arrangements had been made with the Royal Screw Steam-packet Company for the transmission of the mails to Australia ; and whether such arrangements were to be considered as the principle upon which the colonial postal service would be conducted iu future as opportunities occurred ? He might be permitted to state, as chairman of the committee which last year in vestigated this subject, that their inquiries had led them to believe that the large sums of money which were given for these postal servicies had tended to create monopolies in the hands of particular companies. Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that with respect to the question put by his noble friend as to the arrangements which had been entered into with the Screw Steam-packet Company to Australia, he was quite correct in stating that the Government had adopted a plan different from that which had hitherto been usually made in cases of this kind. He hoped soon to be able to lay papers connected with the transaction on the table of the house, and those papers would afford a better explana tion of the matter than any which he could now offer. He would state generally that the principle was this :—The postage charged as sea postage between this country and Australia, namely, 4d., was to be divided in certain pro portions between the Government and the company which carried the letters. The company would not be paid by a fixed sum, as its remuneration would depend on the amount of postal accommodation afforded. The company would receive 3d. and the Government id. for the sea postage ; the entire sum charged being (id. There was also a provision in the arrangement that when the receipts of the company arrived at a certain point the company might be required by the Postmaster-General to put on an in creased number of steamers, so as to ensure more frequent communication. And the Postmaster-General would be at liberty to send letters by other ships to Australia, when specially marked by the persons sending them to be sent in such manner. With respect to the latter part of the question, he had only to state that the general viewsof the Government on the subject of packet communication coin cided with those of the committee appointed to consider the subject last year. The recommendations of the com mittee had been generally adopted by the Government, and, therefore, as opportunities occurred, they hoped to effect many improvements in reference to the performance of these postal services. (Hear, hear.) SALE OF RUSSIAN SHIPS OF WAR. Sir G. PECHELL said he wished to put a question to the noble lord the member for the-city-of London with respect to a report which had appeared in the public papers a few days ago. It appeared that accounts hail been re ceived from the port of Trieste that three Russian frigates, which might have gone out amongst our merchantmen, had either been hauled out of the way or sold, and the crews permitted to go through the Austrian territories, to meet, perhaps, his gallant friend, Admiral Napier, in the Baltic. (Hear, hoar.) This showed what the Russians intended to de with the ships. If they intended to sell them and to transport their crews overland to other places, this would give the people of this country some idea of the mode in which Russia intended to carry on the war. He wished to ask the noble lord whether the Government had received any information on the subject? Lord J. RUSSELL—According to the information re ceived by the Government, three Russian corvettes of war had been at Trieste ; two of them had been taken into the inner harbour at Trieste, where they had been disarmed and sold, and the third had proceeded to another harbour to be sold. ~ ,; ~~ ~;;~ :~ :~~~; ~;, The Fehruz betwe( port, C includi weight V and Its the ISt such p( several Patti Peptfol Office. of treat agent fl Ever, and bes &e.," a a tette: bound Forman, Mr. Jot lery fro m i March PI forming remove in cone posed of SEVE inotriir.
