Important caution against the fearful IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The anxiously-looked for opening of Parliament took place this day, her Majesty the Queen inaugurating in person what will, in all probability, be one a the most important and deeply interesting sessions if corded in the Parliamentary annals of this country. The morning was exceedingly fine, the sun shining out with a brilliancy rare at this period of the yla r. From an early hour the streets leading towards Whitehall and the Park were crowded with persons hurrying to obtain a good place for viewing the Royal procession ; and long before two o'clock the Mall in St. James's•park, White hall, and Parliament-street, were so thronged with spectators that circulation would have'' been im possible but for the good arrangements enforced by the police. Along Parliament-street a number of bal conies were erected, which were crowded with ladies. With the well-known punctuality of the Queen, the Royal procession left Buckingham Palace at a quarter to two o'clock. Her Majesty was accompanied by Princ3 Albert and the usual attendants. All along the route the manifestations of popular respect for the Queen were warm and frequent, the cheering at various points being loud and enthusiastic, which her Majesty and the Prince Consort acknowledged repeatedly. The Chamber of the House of Peers was thrown open soon after 12 o'clock, and from that hour pp till the arrival of her Majesty the officials of the house were occupied in fi Luling seats for those who had obtained tickets of admission, or ushering Peeresses to their allotted positions in the body of the house. Very many of the Peeresses appeared in deep mourning, towplaiely indi cating that they had lost some relations in the terrible struggle going on in the Crimea. All the galleries were filled with ladies, while, as is usual on these occasions, the bishops' benches to the right of the throne were ap propriated to the use of the Foreign A.mbiOadors. It was observed that Mr. Buchanan, the repreientative of America, a fine portly-looking man, was attired in the simple evening dress of a gentleman. Although the some of the openingof Parliament was associated with mourn ful recollections of the past yet it bad lost lane of its former splendour, and the picture which the interior of the house presented was truly superb. Several of the judges, attired in their state robes, surrounddd the Lord Chanbellor, and some half-dozen of the bishops were ILI their places, including the Archbishop of Canterbury j and the Bishop of Lo n d on ; but the a rmy was scarce l y J represented—indeed there seemed to be an utter absence of military uniforms, excepting, of course, those worn by the Ambassadors. The attend ance of Peers was exceedingly numerous on both sides of the house. The Earl of Aberdeen, the Duke of Newcastle, the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Clarendon, and other of the Ministers were present. At a quarter past two o'clock the booming of cannon announced the arrival of her Majesty, and a f e w minutes afterwards her Majesty entered the house, preceded by the Earl of Aberdeen bearing the sword of State, the Marquis of Winchester carrying the cap of maintenance, the Marquis of Lansdowne carrying the crown, and the Lord Chancellor. Her Majesty having ascended the throne, she was graciously pleased to comm an d h er su bj ec t s t o be seated. The Usher of the Black Rod (Sir Augustus Clifford) was then directed to summon the House of Commons to at tend at the bar, and immediately afterwards the Speaker, attired in his State robes, and attended by the Serjeant at-Arms and a large body of members, appeared at the bar accordingly. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. The Lord Chancellor then handed her Majesty the Speech, which she read in her usually clear and distinct voice as follows : " MY LORDS AND GENTLBMRN, " I have called you together at this unusual period of the year, in order that, by your assistance, I may take such mea sures as will enable me to , prosecute the great War in which wo are engaged with the utmost vigour and effect. This assistance I know will be readily given ; for I cannot doubt that you share my conviction of the necessity of spar ing no effort to augment my forces now engaged in the Crimea. The exertions they have made, and the victories they have obtained, are not exceeded in the brightest pages of our history, and have filled me with admiration ane grati tude. " The hearty and efficient co-operation of the brave troops of my ally the Emperor of the French, and the glory acquired in common, cannot fail to cement still more closely the union which happily subsists between the two nations. " It is with satisfaction I inform you that, together with the Emperor of tho Fr9uch, I have concluded a treaty of alliance with the Empoeor of Austria, from which I antici pate important advantages to the common cause. "I have also concluded a Treaty with the United States of America, by which subjects of long and difficult discussion have been equitably adjusted. " These Treaties will be laid before you. " Although the prosecution of the War will naturally en :ago your chiof attention, I trust that other matters of great interest and importance to the general welfare will not bo neglected. "I rejoice to observe that the general prpsperity of my, subjects remains uninterrupted. The state of the revenue affords me entire satisfaction ; and I trust that by your wis dom and prudence you will continue to promote the progress of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, " In the estimates which will be presented to you I trust you will find that ample provision has been made for the exigencies of the public service. "111 y LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " I rely with confidence on your patriotism and public spirit. I feel assured that in the momentous contest in which we are engaged you will exhibit to the world the example of a united people. Thus shall we obtain the re spect of other nations, and may trust that by the blessing of God we shall bring the war to a successful termination." This closed the ceremony of opening- Parli . ament, and her Majesty returned to Buckingham Palace in the same order that she came. Their lordships re-assembled at 5 o'clock. The house at this period presented a very animated ap pearance. A considerable number of ladies were in the Peeresses' galleries ; the space below the bar was filled by members of the House of Commons and their friends, whilst "the house," properly so called, exhibited a goodly attendance of Peers. Amongst the Ministers and other Peers earliest in attend ance were the Earl of Aberdeen, the Duke of Newcastle, the Marquis of Lansdowne; the Duke of Argyll, Earl Granville, and Lord Stanley, of Alderley. At 20 minutes after 5 o'clock, ThoLSi.oCHA.NCELLOR rose and read the Queen's Speech from the Woolsack. The Royal Speech having been again road by the Clerk at the table, The Duke of LEEDS then rose to move the Address. Ho said he was sure both Parliament and the country would gladly respond to her Majesty's appeal to the coun try for means of carrying on the war. (flear, hear.) With respect to the treaty which her Majesty had announced as concluded with the Government of the United States he was sure the country would rejoice at it. As regarded that other treaty between Austria and Fr me() and England, which the Royal Speech also announced as concluded, it must be regarded as a great step towards bringing about an honourable and a lasting peace. Referring to that portion of the Royal Speech which alluded to the gallantry of our brave allies, the noble duke paid a high tribute to the indomitable courage and bravery of our own troops and of our allies at Balaklava. Never had the unanimous spirit of the country shone forth more brilliantly than now, ani mated by the justice of our cause. The collections now being made for the relief of the wives and widows and children of our brave defenders exceeded anything of the kind ever before known. Tho noble duke (who was very imperfectly heard in the gallery) concluded by moving the Address in the usual form. Lord ASHBURTON (in the absence of the Earl of Abingdon through illness) seconded the address. He trusted the Emperor of Russia would not be so misled as to imagine that this country w ou ld not carry on the war because of stint of money or stint of men. (Hear.) This was due both to our gallant allies the French, and to Austria, who ran so great a risk in embarking in this contest. It was duo also to our brave army and to the entire British people, who had shown such a readiness to sacrifice life and fortune in the cause. (Hear.) The Earl of DERBY—My lords, if upon this momen tous occasion, on which her Majesty has, at an unusual period, called us together, to deliberate upon subjects of the highest and gravest importance, not merely to this country, but to Europe and the world ; if, under such cir cumstances, it was my wish to raise any objections to, or cavil at, theterms of the proposed address; or if it had been my intention to propose any amendment, or to enter into any controversy, I should have preferred that some of her Majesty's Ministers should have had the opportunity of ex plaining their views, and answering for the conduct pur sued by the Government, in order that I might have, at all events, the opportunity of replying to the statements which I might have heard. But upon this occasion, and even were the address in reply to the speechfrom the Throne even more open to objection than I conceive it to be, I should think it my duty to abstain from moving any , amendment or adopting any step calculated to produce dis sensions among your lordships. (Cheers.) I have thought that, honoured as I am by the confidence of a large num ber of the members of your lordships' house, I ought to take the earliest opportunity of declaring, on the part of the g reat Conservative b o dy of this country, the views whic they take, and the course which they are prepared to pursue, in this momentous crisis of our history (Cheers.) My noble friends who moved and seconded the address have, so far as I and my friends are concerned, done us scant justice in supposing that anything like hostile pro ceedings was contemplated upon such an occasion as the present. (Cheers ) The present is no time for discussing whether this war could have been avoided or not—it is no time for considering whether a different course of proceed ing would have effected our objects without being involved in all the dangers and calamities of war, in which as a na tion we are now embarked. In that war the whole nation, as one man, sympathises with the Crown and. the Go vernment. (Loud cheers.) In the prosecution of that war, the nation as one man are pressing forward with a unani mity of feeling and an abnegation of every selfish considera tion which is almost unparalleled in the history of our con try, and, as far as I can see, in the prosecution of this war, it is not the Government which are pressing forward the country, but if is the cowitry which is urging upon the Government the necessity of carrying it on with vigour. (Cheers.) I rejoice, my lords, to see the altered tone of the present speech of her Majesty, as compared with that prepared for her by her Ministers in the last session. I rejoice that, at last, the gravity of the circumstances has fermi, Ault upon the wind of the 6teverunt; that even the noble earl at the head of the Government, le utedicin malgre lui—(a laugh)—appears now to see that there is no other course to be taken but that which is the safest, the most direct, and the most honourable, because the most consistent with the principles of justice. (Cheers.) At the opening of the last session of her Parliament, it was with surprise that I hoard, in the speech which her Majesty was advised to deliver, how little the Government appeared to anticipate the probebility—nay, the almost certainty—of the war which was then impending over it, and with what calmness it spoke of various measures of internal improve ment and innovation about to be introduced and carried through both Houses of Parliament. I remember then that the noble lord now the President of the Council, iu bringing forward a measure for reforming the constitution of Parliament, stated that a war with Russia need not be considered a matter of so much importance as to interfere with the ordinary deliberations of Parliament—nay, more, he thought that the time upon which we were entering— that of war with Russia—was one which of all others was the best to select for tho amendment of the constitution of Parliament, and thought it Vould be a splendid moral spectacle to Europe and the world to see that we con sidered it as a matter of such trifling importance and con cern that we could manage it with a side-glance, while our main attention was directed to the arrangement of our in ternal affairs, and, among other matters, the revision of our Parliamentary constitution. • (Laughter.) Various other measures suggested in the speech from the Throne were brought forward, while the Government was all the time drifting helplessly to a state of war. Even when the war was declared, there was no end of the extravagant anticipations held out of the marvel lous Successes to be achieved by a harelfUl of men. Of all the great measures proposed last session, few indeed of them were carried into effect, in consequence of its being found that the feeling on the subject of a war with Russia was ono which the hearts, minds, and feelings of the whole country were set intently upon, and to the exclusion of all other questions. There is now, lam happy to see, a very different tone in the speech from the Throne. It recognises the present as a great and important occasion—as a "great war"—calling for the united efforts of the whole country, and taxing its energies to the utmost. Nearly the whole of ale speldvia devoted to that single and all-absorbing topic, and expressing a confident hope that the asseistance which Parliament will gr'ant will enable her Majesty vigor ously, and God grant successfully, to prosecute the war to its close. It is of course a matter of congratulation to be informed, upon the authority of a speech from the Throne, that the state of the revenue is highly satisfactory, and the I country in a prosperous condition. Undoubtedly, so far as the agricultural interest he concerned, the blessing of Providence, which has given us a bountiful and abundant harvest, combined, by a curious and unprecedented coinci dence, with a range of prices higher than under such cir cumstances ever was kiown, have added greatly to the means of those directly interested in the laud, awl have placed them in a situation of greatly increased prosperity. I hope the case is the same in other branches of industry. I learn with satisfaction that it is. so front her .Majesty's speech, because, unless I am greatly mistaken, the present prosperity of some of the manufacturing districts is not such as could justly bo made the subject of congratulation in a speech from the Throne. Ido not mean that there is not a fair amount of business doing, and a fair amount of profits realised, but I know that in Manchester and some of the surrounding manufacturing towns a large number of the mills are working short time, and others are com pletely closed, and, almost for the first time, facilities exist in Manchester for recruiting in aid of her Majesty's forces. This may be owing partly to the feeling on the sub ject of the war, but it is also due to the fact that a large number of persons are unemployed. Her Majesty has also informed us that she has concluded a treaty with the United Status, "by wh ich sub j ects of long and difficult discussion have been equitably ad justed." It must, of course, be a matter of satisfac tion to know this; any subjects of difference, still more of long standing difference, have been equitably adjusted between ourselves and a cominnuity so closely connected with us by ties of language, polity, and iu a great mea sure of laws, and whose good feeling towards us at the present moment is of particular importance. With re spect to the other subject , ' which are to occupy' the atten tion of Parliament during the course of the present session, the sort of et ceteras which are now substituted for those more magniloquent promises of the last session, they are included in tile very modest paragraph— " I trust that other matters of great interest and importance to the gene ral welfare will not be neglected." What these impending measures may be Ido not know. They are, perhaps, in the secret knowlealge of the Cabinet., or, for aught we know, they may be hidden from the discrimination and knowledge of the Cabinet itself. Upon this topic we may therefore safely express our most cordial concurrent s with her Ma jesty's speech, for I am confident that whenever any." mat ters of great interest and importance" are introduced to us by her Majesty's Government they will receive due con sideration. (A laugh.) I proceed now to that all-engros sing topic which occupies the greater portion of the speech. I must be permitted to express my most cordial concur rence in the approving words from the Throne of the hearty and efficient co-operation of the brave troops of our ally the Emperor of the French, and in the expres sion of the hope that common dangers, common perils, common glories, and common victories may cement snore strongly than ever the alliance which at present subsists between the two countries. And if anetitine could Add to my satisfectioa on the subject it would be seeing that its importance is recognised by Ministers who a very little time since entertained totally different opinions en the subject. I doubt not that the opinions and wish so ardently expressed by her Majesty have been fully Cost currocl in by the Right Honourable the First Lord of the Admiralty and the Right Honourable the President of the Board of Control. (A. laugh.) I rejoice also that the noble earl at the head of the Government can feel and can understand that there are great and important advan tages to be derived from an intimate alliance between this country and France, although its destinies are not swayed by one of the old dynasties. The harmony which prevails between the troops of the two countries is also a source of great gratification. It is impossible to con ceive a more pleasing state of things than that the two na tions, which have for many years been accustomed to regard one another with feelings of enmity, have not only laid aside altogether those feelings of enmity, but aro now our rivals in glory and brothers in arms in fields of a de scription such as those in which they had formerly encoun tered each other as foes, breast to breast, and hand to hand ; and upon those occasions, as former occasions would have led to conclude, to respect the valour of each other, just as the present experience leads them to regard each other as brothers in arms, and as friends having interests, ambition, and rivalry if you will, but rivalry without jea lousy, but having one common object—recognising the merit, bravery, and good conduct of each other, and cheer fully striving together in the teeth of victory as brothers in arms, a nd feeling no other sense but that of as common one of glory. (Cheers.) Words would fail me, as they would any member of your lordships' house, to express the debt of gratitude which we owe to these gallant and de voted men. (Loud cheering.) But in order to carry com fort and satisfaction to these gallant hearts some testimony is duo from the asseuabled Parliament which would express our admiration and gratitude for their services. When I remember that of that numerically small force sent from this country not many months ago—when I remember that probably not one in one hundred of the private soldiers, and not one in ten of the officers, had ever before heard a hostile shot fired—when I remember that they went forth at the first outset of the campaign to pine away in inaction, and while disease was thinning their ranks and depressing.. their spirits—if, indeed, aught could depress their in domitable courage—when I remember that so raised and commanded, that snob forces, so unusually small, so weakened, and so dispirited, they were led to invade the country of a powerful enemy—when I remember that they were led out with scanty equipments, carrying nothing with them but what was algae lutely necessary for their march, and scarcely sufficient for their equipment, and due provision and sustenance — when such a body of men, under such circumstances, found themselves in front of a body numerically superior, en trenched upon heights, fortified with all the skill and all the power which the might and military genius of Russia could supply—fortified upon ground, the natural diffical ties of which were such as to impede even an active and unencumbered man unchecked by an enemy in his ascent —but when those heights were bristling with batteries, when front those batteries storms of shot and shell mowed down their ranks as they ascended that blood-stained hill of glory—when I remember, too, that in the face of num bers not inferior to their own, who against all the diffi culties of position, against the most powerful artillery, weakened in numbers, and falling by scores, the gallant survivors still pressed on with indomitable courage and unconquerable valour; and who, under such circumstances, hand by hand, that body of men, who had never before heard a shot fired, repulsed a veteran army from the heights so held and so fortified, as that it had been the boast of Russia that no army could dislodge them in less three weeks—when that grand charge—when that great success was secured by such an army in three hours — when, too, I see afterwards how these men, outnxmbered, the positions being changed, when they were changed from the besiegers into the besieged, assaulted by an enemy seven times their number—(cheers), —having,u o doubt, some advantage of position, attacked after successive and con stant labour in the trenches, suffering from cold, from pri vation, from hunger, in some cases from all but nakedness, with, too, all the disadvantages of a surprise in the dark ness of a foggy morning, and when these men, who won the heights of Alma in the course of three hours from a veteran army, resisted the assaults of another army nume rically seven times stronger than themselves, and for eight hours waged the unequal conflict, sometimes even without ammunition, and yet maintained their position, supported and reinforced by a portion of their gallant allies n e too, — I w h e look Is a e y v , e l n 1 oaotk that a t t h e u s e n d f o e r e t d u s n o a f t a e m b u s t — a a s Y t e on and nd wghn ca valry charge in which we suffer ed sa severely for our gal lantry—l say, my lords, no words can de justice to the valour and the courage and the endurance of our army. When we read the history of this campaign— it not as politicians, but as m en, and as Eno li campaign-1 hmnreadl we e say there cannot be a heart w hich does not throb with honest and generous pride that these much enduring, all daring, sub all-achieving men were our coun tr y men, were Bri tishjects like ourselves. I say there will be no eye in which a tear does not spring unbidden when we reflect that so many of these gallant men are numbered with the dead. (Great cheering.) My lords, I will not dwell fur ther upon the subject, upon the glory which has been achieved, upon the noble sacrifices which have been made. Our country will know how to valise the services of those who still survive. Whatever may be the honour, or what ever may be the mode in which this country may show its gratitude to those who, under such unequal circumstances, and placed in such difficulties, have sustained, upheld, and increased the honour of the British flag, those rewards and those honours will, I am satisfied, be granted with no niggard hand, but with the universal approbation and cor dial approval of the country. (Loud cheers.) I know not whether I may not be going almost beyond Parliamentary license, if, while speaking of the honours to be conferred, and justly conferred, upon our gallant officers and soldiers —I know not whether, I say, I may not be trenching on the prerogative of the Ceown, but this I know, that when at the head of the army of our ally there has been a general who has acted with ours in the most cordial and uninter rupted harmony, of whose advice we have had the benefit, and by whose assistance we have largely profited—l know not whether I am making a suggestion which 1 ought not to make, when I say I am satisfied that nothing could be more grateful to the feelings of the army and to the country, and nothips could be more clue to the pantry and cordiality GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICE OF SIR WAL BURNETT'S DISINFECTING FLUID.

(Hear, hear, hear.) lam told on authority, which I think is val id, that representations had been mate to the First Lot dof the Admiralty that the commander of that ship—the ) Prince—was notoriously so incompetent, and had prove id himself so incompetent upon the voyage to the Baltio, t:h at, in the opinion of a distinguished officer, if that vessel was sent out in command of that ()Meer she would be lost t. I was told that that officer was asked to r make a stat ement' in writing—that he did make it in writing and , forwarded it to the First Lord of the Admi ye that v esse l was bent out in comman d of that ralty—and very man. 1 do not say that it is a fact within my own knowledge, le at I aek the noble duke if that were so? I ask, also, why • a vessel lying in that state for seven days was not taken into the harbour of Balaklava at‘ any risk ? d d i i n s g pro the Government Go t v h er em nre a n n t d an l a , (Cheers.) My' .lords, in making th ese comments, I have done so for the opportunity f purpose ofaffording repudiating or make them also with the view of their avoiding such acci dents in future. But, my lords, I cannot have .% stronger proof of the want of reasonable forethought on the p ar t o f the Government than in the circumstances and ar which we are this da , 7 . assembled. Parliament stood prorogued until the 14th - of November, and I think on th© 10th of November a council was summoned ; and the result was that Parliament was further prorogued until the 14th of December,'with out its being then announced that it would then meet " foie the desp atch of business." It is clear, then, that on th, 310th of Nchember the Government had no intention of c ailing Parliament together at this time. The universal int erpretation of the omission of the words I have mentioned - is, that there will be a further proroga tion ' • but on the '2oth of November "a change had come over the spirit of heir dream," and the Government im mediately summoned Parliament to meet (not on the day to which it had b•_ , en prorogued) but two days earlier. (Hear, hear.) I want to know, my lords, what was the sudden emergency that called for this unusual pro medium, and what we re th e c i rcums t ances w hi c h occurre d on t he 20th of November to wake it necessary to assemble Parlia ment, which did not mike it equally necessary on the 10th. Undoubtedly they had received the news of the battle of Inkerman ; but am I to be told that this - was the reason for calling us together? Did you calculate that you were going to take Sebastopol, or to raise it, without any addition to that small force which remained after the battle of Inkerman ? The Government have not yet condescended to inform us as to the exigency which justified this step ; we are told in their organs that they do not want money ; but it is hinted that it is intended to take p o wers to enable a portion of the militia to volunteer, and to occupy the place of some of our foreign garrisons. If that be the case, was the necessity for that measure not ' foreseen before the battle of jnkerman ? (Hear.) I " it_ my lords, the Government stand conFiCted - ofa wanTorfore knowledge of the exigencies of the country up to the time at which they summoned Parliament tot meet. I have spoken of the deeds of glory performed bythe gallant army in the Crimea, and mostgallantlyhave they been supported by the sister service ; but I observe there is no reference in the Queen's Speech to the great achievements of the Baltic fleet. Yet never did so mighty a force navig ate that sea—it was one of the most powerful armaments wich this country ever sent forth. It formed the pride and boast of the country, and very considerable powers were given tothe admiral for proclaiming war. (A laugh.) The ifiguad that was given cannot be forgotten. We all recollect the in junction that was given to the seamen on board that fleet, " to sharpen their cutlasses, and the day was their own"— (a laugh)—andthat if the Russian fleet did not come out to meet them, they were to see whether they might not move into the harbour of Cronstadt. That fleet wassent out, an& what have they done? Individual officers belonging to it have exhibited highly meritorious examples of seamanship, but, so far as results are concerned, the results are literally nil. You certainly crumbled down a half-finished fortress, but you aro not able to occupy it, and the ships com posing that fleet are at this moment dropping home one by one from the scene of their labours. I apprehend the Government knew beforehand the strength of Cronstadt. I apprehend, also, that they knew the .character of the Bal tic, and that it is not altogether an unknown sea to British navigators. And what did they do ? They sent out, in the first place, a fleet of such superior metal, and of such overwhelming force that it would have been an act of madness for the Russian fleet to meet them in the open sea ; and, in the second place, they sent oat a fleet of such a draft of water, that it was absolutely impossible for them and the Russian fleet to come into contact. The result was that our fleet in the Baltic had all along been condemned to a state of ignominious activity, reminding one of the story of the duel between Sir Richard Strachan and Lord Chatham— " Lord Chatham, with his sword undrawn, Stood waiting for Sir Richard Strachan. Sir Richard, longing to be at him, Stood waiting for the Earl of Chatham." (A laugh.) Now, my lords, I say these things, not for the purpose of discouraging those gallant men who, whether in the Baltic or the Black Sea, on land or on shore, have done their best to maintain the honour of 'the British flag. (Cheers.) But if we are to come to a succeesful issue in, this great and serious *war—if we, are to conquer an ho nourable peace, depend upon it—knowing the resources of the Russian empire—knowing the character of that great man—for he is a great man—who wields the power of with which - the whole of the French forces have supported ours in the g rest contest, than, if it were possible, to confer upon General: Canrobert some of the military honours of this country. (Cheering.) I have attempted to do justice to my °wax, feelings with respect to the merits of the gal lant army and the sacrifices the country has taken upon itself. I A fish that I could here close the observations which I has '43 to make. But I hope that it is not incon sistent with my determination of not bringing forward . any topic likely to create dissension on the question of the address if I i eel it. necessary to comment upon what ap pears to me tu' ha some of the shortcomingsoethe Govern ment, and so) ne of its deficiencies, to which I propose to allude, not so much for the purpose of censure as for in suring the at tention of the Government in the future. (Cheers.) I a m anxious to avoid saying a single word which may be .;alculated to give the slightest encourage ment to that p( )we.rful adversary against whom we are de termined as a nation to contend to our last man and to our last shilling. (Cheers.) My com pl a i n t aga i ns t th e Government is, ti iat they have from the commencement of the war left, as it were, everything in a state from hand to mouth—th at t: ley have never :Anticipated in due time the magnitude' of the struggle in which they were about to be engaged, an d never made adequate and timely provi sion to meet, n of the immediate exigencies of the day, but to meet those exigencies which the .fortune of war might have imposed upon them. (Cheers.) I have always un derstood that in war, as in everything else, the first maxim was to leave as little as possible to chance, to bo provided against every possible contingency, to make your prepara tions, extravagant if you will, but upon such a scale as that any single ma titter going wrung may not have the effect of causing you to ,zhange your whole plan. In the conduct pursued by her M: tjesty's Government they appear to Lave left from day to day the task of providing for each succes sive exigency as it rose ; and, therefore, in every case being too late. " Too Late" has, indeed, been the fatal word ap plicable to the whole conduct of the Government in the course of the war. Yon were too late in the declaration of war—too late in xegarding the passage of the Pruth as a easus belli —too latalin sending our troops to the Black Sea— too complaisant to .Russitain not Beading our fleets to co-ope rate with those of :Crane() at the proper time—too late in entering the Black Sea—and wrong in not preventing the massacre of Sinope. A.nd when we did go to war, what was the course pursued by the Government? On the 6th March, 1854, a few days beford the declaration of war, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, knowing that the war was imminent, took an increased vote for something like 10,000 men in the army, and a small number in the navy, and his calculation of the increased expenditure consequent on the war was ; as he stated, the sum of 1,250,0001.- 7 that being the estimated expense, at 501. per man, of transporting 15,000 troops—where ? To meet the Russians ? To defend Constantinople? Nothing of the sort. To take them to Malta - and bring them back again. (Laughter.) The notion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared to be that all that was necessary to carry on the war with Rus sia was to double half a year's income-tax in order to ob tain the means of sending 25,000 men to Malta and bring ing them back again. (Laughter.) These were the pro visions in reference to which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer said the Emperor of Russia, when he saw them, would be indeed aware of the energy with which the peo ple of this country ware determined to carry on the war. Now, my lords, what was the course taken by the Govern ment last autumn ? One remembers, and with mingled feelings of satisfaction and regret too, the mustering of those gallant men, the elite of the British army, from 25,000 to 30,u00 strong, who were sent out from this coun try, and in regard to whom the Government took credit for unparalleled exertions, that they had been able, in so short a space of time as three months, to send out a force of 30,000 men. Nov, really, Ido not deny that the exer tions of the Government were great in getting this body of men together in that time ' • but this I s a y, w h en y ou s p ea k of this country sending forth a body of 30,000 men as an achievement which is to be considered a miracle of the national resources, you are really detracting from the rank of this country in the scale of nations. Why was not this step anticipated by two or three months? You sent out 25,000 men, and then you folded your hands and sat down. But if any disaster had happened to i those 25,000 men, where were your resources? (Hear, I hear.) You were then depending on raw recruits; you were doing what you could to make a slight addition to the army ; but you sent out these men, and you sent them out in conjunction with the French army ; but did you suppose that neither disease, nor thesword, nor want, nor any other misfortunes were to occur to that gallant band of men ? And if such misfortunes were to occur, where was a body of men to come from to reinforce them ? Where were your Mediterranean garrisons ? Were they in creased ? Where was your second army of reserve ? (Cheers.) You had it not; you had no army of reserve; . you had nothing to call an array of reserve. But, perhaps, it will be said—though even that will not be an answer to . . the question—the objects for which those troops were sent that great empire=you will obtain no peace unless yea out were the defence of Constantinople, the relief of Omer conquer. (Cheers.) Yon must obtain such advantage Paella, and to prevent the Russians making further inva- and such superiority as to compel him, reluctantly as it teens on the Turkish territory. It was not possible, how- may be, to submit to your terms of peace. But if you do ever, that the war could be limited to such objects, nor, if not achieve some great success, you may have a long and it had beenlimited tosuch objects, was it possible toachieve a disastrous war, but an honourable and a successful peace any peace, still less an honourable peace. I remember on you cannot achieve. (Hear, hear.) There is only one the 19th of June, inanswer to my noble and learnedfriend mdre topic, my lords, in her Majesty's speech to which I Lord Lyndhurst—whom I regret not to see in his place f ee l c omp e ll e d t o allude. Her Majesty announces with now—my noble friend opposite (the Earl of Clarendon) de- satisfaction that she has concluded a. treaty, in eonjunc clared, as indeed he had declared before, that the objectof tion with the Emperor of the French, with the Emperor the war was not to afford protection to Constantinople, but of Austria, from which she hopes to obtain important ad to settle at once and for ever the question of Russian su- vantages. I confess that this is a paragraph which creates premacy, which had been growing in importance for years sonie considerable doubt in my mind. There can be no —not to say centuries—and which , must, now be once and doubt that, in the prosecution .of the general objects of for ever settled. From the first, then, you contemplated the war, wo shall gain the co-operation of Austria—a mat something much more extensive than the mere relief of the ter of the greatest importance and of signal benefit ; but. Tarkish provinces from Russian invasion. It will not do to looking at the course which Austria has hitherto pusned, tell me thatithe whole object of yourcampaign was answered I must be permitted to hesitate in expressing my satisfac from the 23d of June, the time when the siege of Silistria tion at this treaty until I have an opportunity of becom was !reject. Even before' that siege was raised you had ing acquainted with the nature and probable effect of the avowed ulterior objects for which it was quite manifest that stipulations it contains. Austria has had a very difficult a force of 25,000 men was wholly inadequate. But when game to play; I make every allowance for her position ; that siege was raised what had you to Bey ? The siege of she has played a net very dignified part, but she has played Silistria was raised on tho 23d of June, when the Turkish it with considerable dexterity, and she may now feel it to troops were in straits and were beginning to withdraw be for her interest to lay down the mask which she has from the occupation of the provinces. Did any alteration hitherto assumed, and to throw herself into the arms of the of your course fellow on that altered state of thing s? The Allies. 1 trust it may be so; but up to the present =- truth is, [that we had some information from the Govern- meat—although I remember it was a favourite phrase of mint even in July last that the expedition to the Crimea her Majesty's Government that they had protracted nem was decided upon. In July the noble lord, now President tiations, and by protracting them they had secured the of the Council, made a remarkable statement in the House immense advantage of the co-operation of Austria and of Commons, declaring that there could be no hope of Prussia—l have yet to, learn, in practical result, what gaining an honourable peace so long as Russia tetained the benefit we have derived or wha t co-operation we have had menacing position which she held at Sebastopol. That from Austria—still less from Prussia. So far as I can announcement was made by Lord Joke Russell on the make out the course pursued, that of one power has been a 24th of July in the House of Commons ; and we know course of doubtful neutrality—of the other, of doubtful subsequently, from information given by various members hostility, but practically of hostility. Looking at the part of the Cabinet, that the expedition had at that period been which Austria has hitherto taken in this campaign, lain decided upon by the Government. My noble friend oppo- not at all sure that she has not been in a great measure the site (Lord Granville), at the beginning of October, in an cause of your want of success. It was not until after the address to the Staffordshire Yeomanry, was one of the siege of Silistria that Austria volunteered the assistance of members of the Cabinet who furnished that information her intervention in any shape; but when that siege had to the public out of doors ; and Lord J. Russell, on the been raised—when the Hussies army was in fall retreat 27th of October, stated that immediately after the siege when Omer Pacha was at tee head of a triumphant army, of Silistria was raised it became a question to the Govern- with which, at all events, he could have found occupation ment at home what course was to be taken with regard to for a large portion of the army of Russia—at that moment Sebastopol. I should have supposed that the Government Austria came in—whether without the sanction or with lhe would have decided upon that long before the siege of previous knowledge of her Majesty's Government I know Silistria was raised. (A. laugh.) But it appears that it not; but she concluded a treaty with Turkey, the effect of was not until after the sie ge o f Sili s t r i a was ra i se d th a t th e w hich was to give her the occupation and cont ro l o f th e Government began to say " What next" (Laughter ?) Principalities — to cover, in point of fact, the Russian retreat Now, by the confession of those two noble lords—one in —to prevent the advance of the Turks—and to commence this house, and the other in the House of Commons—it the demoralisation of that hitherto victorious army, and to was the Government, who, notwithstanding the represen - set at liberty the whole of those Russian forces which had tations from gene ra l s o f high distinction, in almost every previously been opposed to Om , r Pacha, and for which be country, of the almost insuperable difficulty of capturing might have found employment in Bessarabia or the pro- Sebastopol, urged upon the allied forces the necessity of vinces, and to pour upon our forces, already outnumbered making the attempt ; and so urged, it became doubly the by the army they were besieging, these troops, amounting duty of the Goverment that no provision should be ne- to four, five, or six times their own number. All this hap glected which could tend to diminish the difficulties with peened, it appears, in consequence of the intervention of which the enterprise on which they were about to embark Austria. (Hear, hear.) When I see what has hitherto was beset, and which could render the task sot only prac- been the effect of the intervention of Austria, I must be ticable, but ,comparatively less hard of fulfilment. Now, permitted to doubt until I see it, how far we shall derive what steps were taken from the latter end of June, when advantages from the treaty now concluded. We may have .you began to consider " What next," for reinforcing entered into engagements, and . bound ourselves to condi that army, originally of 25,000 men, for the more tions which it would be veri tr d hi l ae ffif u l r t to n e ac ar co ry m n p u lia t. h, I b d u o t extensive field operations upon which you were deter- which we should be bounl n i mined to place them ?
