FRANCE. The llcmiteur says—" The Minister of Commerce has submitted to the examination of the Council of State a Bill for modifying the tariffs of sugar and coffee. The Bill, which has been examined by the Council-General of Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce, enacted that the new legislation should come into effect for the Ist July. It is, however, no longer permitted to hope that sukila can be the case. After the examination of the Council of State the Bill will have to be submitted to the Legislative Assembly, where it will have to be read three times, which will require a long delay. It is even difficult to foresee the period at which the new Bill will be adopted, but the Government will do all that depends on it to hasten the vote, and, if De pessary, to carry it into execution." LORIOUS RECEPTION OF LORD PALMERS TON BY THE PEOPLE. Lord Palmerston came down to the House in his car riage shortly before five o'clock yesterday evening. An immense crowd of well-dressed persons was assembled around the Members' entrance to meet the Noble Lord, and the ENGLISH MINISTER was, on his appear ance, greeted by the hearty English cheers of those assembled, and who thus testified their approval of his spirited English policy. The English people will cot be Russian serfs, whatever Eng lish Tory aristocrats may choose to be. The Noble Lord had evidently not expected such a reception, but it was equally evident that he was well pleased with this spontaneous burst of hearty English feeling in support of him who is par excellence the ENGLISH PATRIOT MINISTER. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 24. (Sittings in Banco, before Justices MIDLE, CRESSWELL, and TALFOURD.) BLI''TY v. MILLELTO—CONSTRUCTION OF CONTRACT. Mr. JusticeMauLE delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. The action was to recover 501. for breach of an agreement whereby the defendant had engaged for himself and wife to perform for two months as equestrians, on the stage or in the ring, at Astley's Amphitheatre or elsewhere, fo r the plaintiff, at a salary of 51. per week, subject to a penalty of 501. upon breach of the agree ment. Before the e)Fpiration of the engagement the plaintiff, who had an equestrian establishment at Peebles, in Scotland, required the defendant and his wife to pro.. coed to that place and perform there, which they refused to do, and upon their suing the plaintiff in a county court fur their salary, he commenced the present action against them. The defendant demurred to the declara tion on several technical grounds, which the judgment disposed of in detail, and the Court being of opinion that, though irregular in some respects, the declaration was good in substance, gave judgment for the (Sittings at Nisi Priu3 before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) LONCMORE V. HUSSEY. The Court was occupied this morning with this case, which was an action for the recovery of 481. 17s. Bd., due partly as the balance of a bill and partly for goods de livred. The de!ence was that the date of the bill had been altered by the plaintiff between the time of its being drawn and of its becoming due; and, as regarded the goods, tlaat.by the arrangement of credit entered into between the. parties the payment was not yet due. The evidence was of great length, and very contradictory —one witness.. t4.wearing that an erasure apparent in the bill had been made before the bill was drawn, .and another witness that it was done three months afterwards. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. - 'TEE ALLEGED MURDER AND ROBBERY AT CLAP EA-N.—After the night charges had been disposed of, Mr. Maddle, the owner of the house in the Wandsworth road, which so recently occupied the attention of the public as the scene of an alleged murder and robbery, waited upon Mr. Elliot, to answer the complaint of a female, who stated herself to be the only daughter of the. alleged murdered housekeeper, for detaining the clothes and other property belonging to the unfortunate deceased. On Tuesday last a young woman attended before Mr. Elliot, in company' with an elderly female, who alleged that after the funeral of Mr. Maddle's housekeeper, ap plication was made to him by them for the restoration of the clothes of deceased, which Mr. Meddle, however, refused to give up.. In consequence of such refusal on his. part, the magistrate sent an officer with them, to see him on the subject. He still persisted in retaining them, and intimated his intention of attending at this court yesterday, to answer the complaint. As soon as the case was called on, Mr. Maddle rose and stated, that he was sorry that the unfortunate affair which had occurred in his house should be again brought before the public. Ile attended that day to show cause , why, he did not give up his deceased housekeeper's clothes and other property to a young woman calling herself her daughter. His reason would be quite suf ficient to satisfy his Worship why he detained the pro perty. The young woman in question was an illegiti mate child, and had no right whatever to the property, especially when there was a son who migh adminster to the property. He had received advice from the solicitor to the Treasury on that point, and was perfectly right in detaining the clothes until ho had a proper authority. Mr. ELLIOT considered that he had no particular grounds for keeping the property, and it could not mat ter mach to him to whom he gave them up. Mr. Maddle—But I have written to the son, who is in the country, and he says all the funeral expenses will tali on him. Therefore, I think lam Lot bound to give up the things to the female. Not only that, they have behaved ill to me or I should have been more liberal. Mr. ELLI ,T—After whet I have heard respecting the daughter'. illegitimacy, I cannot interfere in the matter. Mr. Maddle—Then what am I to do, your Worship? If something is not done to protect ma I shall be con stantly troubled. I am quite willing to give them up if your Worship will give me a written acknowledgment. Mr, ELtror —I have nothing whatever to do with the property. The only legal claimant is the party who ad ministers to the effects, and has such has not been done, I think you might safely deliver them to the elanghter. Ur. Maddle—l have been twice to the Treasury on the: subject, and have been advised to keep the pro perty until it has been administered to. The brother declines to do an, as he would be liable to her debts. But I can assure your Worship that she owes nothing. It was a painful thing to have my name in the papers, and to be talked about by all the world, as if I had not used precaution. I warned the deceased oftentimes against admitting people into my house, and had she taken my advice the unfortunate occurrence would not have taken place. Some of the people bad stated I gene rally kept thousands in the house. Zhat would be foolish. Mr. ELLIOT —I have nothing whatever to do with the case,, neither can I interfere in any way, therefore I must beg you to drop the subject. Mr. Meddle then left the court, asserting that he should still retain the property of his deceased house keeper until he had a proper certificate drawn up in a legal manner. ►. DUKE OF WELLING CON'S BREECHES. Avery droll story has been in circulation in private circles: for some days past which is, we think, too good to be lost to the "general public," particularly as it numbers among its drantatis persona , no less per sonages than the Commander-in-Chiet; a Bishop, and an accomplished authoress. Our story sets, out, in politeness, as it ought to do, with the lady. • It is only necessary to mention the name of Mrs. .Loudosi.to recall to the reader's memory the clever writings of that lady on horticulture. Well, Mrs. Lbudon was lately in the neighbourhood of Strath fieldsaye, and being always anxious to visit spots re• markahle for fine specimens of the vegetable world, and hearing that she was likely to gratify her taste at the gardens of the Duke of 'Wellington, she wrote to his Grace, conveying her- special desire to see some. it beeches" for which the spot is celebrated. The letter was duly delivered, and, opening it with his usual promptitude, the octogenarian Duke raised his ,glayee ? , and, glancing at the contents, his eye caug ht ibnatily at the signature of the note << c. J, 14011d011," 'and he at.once came to the conclusion that it came from Charles James Bishop of London, more cul4ilY as the band -writing of the note bor e a- close resemblance to that of the Eight Reverend Prelate. But,- whilst there was nothing very remarkable in th e facter4tote from the Bishop, the object of it did " most especial wonder;" for that • -l il sanad akap glance which had converted an amiable lady ; into A learned Bishop, also, with a success_ which the. very spirit of mischief, Puck, himself could not -duive - surpassed, metamorphosed the majestic beeches bf . Strathfieldsaye into the nether garments of their noble owner—in fact, the note ran thus, that "C, J. London" (the ordinary laconic modein.which Charles James Bishop of London sums up his 'honours and dignities) was desirous of viewing the Duke of 'Wellington's breeches ! How the ,Dake looked, a s h e e y e d th e no t e, it i s not our provin ce to picture ! but, with his usual dis patch —and thinking, probably, that the request ap plied to the Waterloo inexpressibles, that they might be wanted for artistic purposes—he directed his valet to look out the article and dispatch it with all polite forms to the Bishop In due course the packet arrived at the Bishop's, and the amazement with which tile Prelate re ceived, with "Field-Marshal the Duke of Wel lington's compliments," his " W a t er l oo breeches, " may be co nce i ve d. But the ludicrous was soon changed into the painful as the idea flashed through the Bishop's mind that all was not " quite right" with the great veteran ; and, to solve this painful • doubt, off his Lordship went to the Premier's to make Lord John a party to the extraordinary present he had just receivad. Now, it so happened that, after dispatching the pared as •above-related, the Duke himself w as gib,* similar thought as to the mental state VOA Rev. Writer and he, too, thought it :Ali,:cisitor—t.ttioligh - the Bishop did not come under 0 1 , 1 ,the )Horse quard;s--tO ,;ekot.t io the * m i n i probable state of:thiud'o(one of Oae heads of the Church militant. His Grace arrived most a propos. The Bishop was closeted with the Premier. Lord John was pondering over the mys tery of the breeches, when up rode the noble owner of them, cool and collected as his statue at Hyde Park-corner. How he and the Bishop looked at each other is, again, one of those matters in which the imagination or the pencil must come to the duty of the pen—we commend the subject to Punch. But the climax of the scene was, that the letter—the source from whence all this mis chief rose—was produced, examined, conned over, and at last, rightly interpreted—C. J. Loudon was substituted for the Bishop of London—the beeches of Strathfieldsaye for the Duke's breeches; and, to sum up all, Mrs. Loudon received by return of post a polite compliance with her request, and went and accomplished the objects of her wish without being at all aware of the perplexities in which her note had involved a Duke, a Bishop, and a Prime Minister. We have heard the above facts related in different quarters as authentic. If the circumstances are not quite correct, we must say with the Italians in Bimilar cases, "Se non trovo, e ben trovato."

Among the numerous models and machinery for agri cultural and horticultural purposes we observed a variety of tiles for a better mode of growing strawberries. When two of the tiles are placed together a circular hole is left in the centre for the plant to pass through; the flat part of the tile supports the fruit and leaves and retains the heat many hours after the sun has set, consequently the fruit ripens very much sooner than when grown in the ordinary manner. It also keeps the fruit perfectly dry and free from dirt. Some straw berries were exhibited by the inventor, Mr. Roberts, of North Brixton, at the late show of fruit at the Botanical Society, and were the only specimens of out-door growth shown, which shows the advantage of this plan of cul tivation over the old. THE SUN, AN ASPIRING DOG. The following ludicrous incident occurred the other Sabbath in a parish church in this county :—Tne day being very warm and sultry, it was deemed necessary to throw open the church doors fur the admission of fresh air. About the middle of the sermon, while the preacher was loudly declaiming in his usual impassioned style, the noise of his deep-toned voice seems to have reached the ears of a favourite but ill-bred cur which had been left in charge of the manse. The dog, fearing from his master's impassioned manner of address that he was meeting with foul play, dashed (by the by, his name is Dash) at the top of his speed to render assist ance if necessary. The doors being open, the passage clear, and the stair to the pulpit of easy access, he quickly , ascended it, and from his elevated position com menced such furious yelling as threatened for a moment to cast the oratorical powers of the preacher into the shade. Vain were the attempts of the session-clerk and beadle to remove him either by threats or by flattery. Dash maintained his position, keeping these officials at defiance. The beadle at last seized one of the kirkladles and resolved to give proof of his courage by applying it unceremoniously to the cranium of Dash, but Dash showed his teeth, and the man ofgraves pruderstly retired, leaving him in undisputed pos session of the rostrum. Dash, having now fought his way-to the'pulpit, like many others, instantly de manded admission, which his master readily granted. Both commenced haranguing in their respective styles at the highest pitch of their voices. For some time the contest for superiority was main tained on both sides with equal pertina city. In vain did the preacher raise his voice to a skirl ; Dash, determined not to be done, waxed louder and louder still, and the Babel-like confusion of tongues was too much for the risible powers of the congregation, who were now thrown into convulsions ' for gray-haired m en an d s t a id ma trons could no longer contain their gravity. The preacher at last gave in to his more uproarious col league, and, walking with him out of the pulpit, con ducted him to the door and gave him in charge of the church-officer.—Perthshire Advertiser. INDUSTRIAL HOME for GEN I LEWOJIEN. On Saturday a public meeting was held at Willis's Rooms in support of this institution, which has been established to provide a home for the widows and daughters of private gentlemen, officers in the army or navy, professional men, bankers, and merchants, suffering under a reverse of fortune. The meeting was to have been presided over by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who however was prevented from attending by indisposition, and in the absence of his Royal Highness Lord Kinnaird took the chair. His Lordship briefly explained the objects of the in stitution, bore testimony to the exertions of the La dies' Committee on its behalf, showed the necessity , which existed for extended accommodation in conse quence of the number of applicants, and read several letters from inmates describing the comforts which they enjoyed. The report, which was a document of some length, set forth the operations of the institution, and its claims on public support. It appears that a house has been taken in Harpur-street, Red Lion-square, at an annual rent of 851., the sum of 2121. being paid for furniture. Some difficulties have been experienced at the outset from the want of funds, but these have been overcome by timely contributions, and though the total receipts to this time _have been small, the committee have fully furnished the house, and every room is com pletely occupied. Since the opening of the institution in October 53 ladies have been admitted, of whom eight are the daughters of officers in the army, two of officers in the navy, 15 of landowners and private gentlemen, one of a clergyman, two of solicitors, one of a surgeon, one of a banker, 14 of merchants, four of professors of colleges, two of artists, and three of Government officers; of these 53 inmates 33 still continue in the house, and, except to take situations, not one has left voluntarily. The balance-sheet showed that up to the close of May the total receipts had been 793/., and the expenditure 7181., leaving a balance in hand of 751., against which there were debts to the amount of about 1501. The adoption of the report was moved in appropriate terms by the Rev. Dr. Croly, and seconded by' the Rev. Dr. Cumming. Other resolutions in support of the institu tion were ably recommended to the meeting by Mr. Malton, the Rev. Mr. Nolan, Mr. S. C. Hall, Mr. Oliver, and other gentlemen. A vote of thanks hav ing been carried to Dr. Joseph Williams for his gra tuitous and unremitting attention to the sick inmates of the house, the proceedings terminated with the usual complimentary acknowledgments to Lord Kin naird for presiding. ,g • 4 . - r.: A 11 1 m 4i ci 1 o 4 . 1 ' ; x Colchester ..}.

The_ importations of foreign grain into Gloucester this week have been very small. The wheat trade must be quoted on the whole firm, and prices fully supported, notwithstanding the fineness of the weather.

ARRIVAL OF GENERAL GARIBALDI IN LIVERPOOL. —lt will be interesting to our readers to learn that, on im Saturday,t,e, arrived Gen i e n thralGisartiobwaln by the di,thecesletbearamteedr Queen from defender of Gibraltar, which reached the Mersey at three o'clock in the afternoon. The General, who was accompa nied by an aide-de-camp, looked exceedingly well in health, and appeared in excellent spirits. Indeed, we are told that he was particularly cheerful and agreeable during the voyage. We believe the General will remain in Liverpool for a short time, and that he con templates a visit to America. A Paris letter, written some few weeks ago, says, "Garibaldi, the well-known leader of the Republican system at Rome, is now residing at Tangiers, in Africa, and he is very busily engaged in writing memoirs upon the great events in which he took such a large part. The manuscript has been sold to a bookseller of Paris, who will publish it at the same time in the French and Italian languages."—Livernool Albion of yesterday. THE HOUSE or BURNS FOR SALE.—The Dum fries Courier says, the house in which the author of "Tam o'Shanter" lived and died is to be sold. When a circum stance very similar occurred in England relative to Shaks pere's house is Stratford-on-Avon, such was the aversion to see a shrine so hallowed devoted to the common purposes of traffic, that a number of gentlemen generously stepped forward, paid the price demanded, and thus rescued from desecration in all time coming, an abode priceless in associa tion with his memory. Two years ago we were led to understand that certain gentlemen in Dumfries contemplated paying the same compliment to the home in which the bard and his exemplary spouse, " bonnie Jean," closed their eyes l i s n .or de ld a i t ts h e kand if the a d m i rers of a renown, w i de as the are still bent on the performance of an endear ing duty, now or !lever, we beg to say em p haticall y, i"" tiza icr ac4,i9n.• J LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1850. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. The following is the official statement of the quantities of corn, &c., received in the port of London from the ports in Essex, from the 17th June, 113.50, to the 22d June, 10+50, both inclusive : IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 24. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. SMALL TENEMENTS RECOVERY (IRELAND‘ BILL. Lord FARNHAM moved the committal of this Bill, the object of which was to extend the Act of 1848. The Earl of CARLISLE thought it would have been better to wait for the Bill now in the House of Com mons on this subject, but as he saw nothing objection able he would not oppose the committal of the Bill. Their Lordships then resolved themselves into Com mittee. The Bill passed through Committee, and the House resumed. POST-OFFICE SUNDAY DELIVERY. Lord BROUGHAM again drew the attention of their Lordships to the inconvenience arising from the abolition of the Post-office Sunday delivery. In one case, relating to the trial of an im portant cause, persons had been obliged to send off a special express, and in another instance a physician had fortunately been sent for on Friday, and received the letter on Saturday, and went to see his patient, but if t ie illness had occurred on the Saturday, and the letter had not been delivered until the Monday morning, the patient would have died fur want of medical assistance. He hoped the Government would not persevere in carrying out a decision of the House of Commons which had been obtained by surprise. He was sure the carrying out the rule would tend to the desecration of the Sab bath. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was not surprised at hearing the statement of his Noble and Learned Friend. He had made inquiries as to the point of law raised by his Noble and Learned Friend as to the power of the Crown to stop the Post -office Sunday delivery, and there could be no doubt but that the Crown had the power, but it certainly would not have been exercised but for the vote of the House of Commons. Lord BROUGHAII said the Government had a monopoly of the delivery of letters, and if he were not permitted to send letter s himself, the Government cer tainly was bound to send letters at all times. Lord MONTEAGLE said that whatever the law might be, if this obstruction was persevered in the law would be evaded, to the detriment of the revenue and to the profit of the smugglers, who had been compelled to become smugglers by the absurdity of the law. PUBLIC-HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the-motion - for going into Committee on this Bill, The Earl of MINTO said that the Bill was open to considerable objections, as it gave too much power to the justices, to whom it gave the power of deciding the number of public houses sufficient for a district, and also gave them the power of selecting what houses should be licensed. Lord KINNAIRD supplied the Bill. The Bill had received the general support of the people of Scotland. He should be very happy to introduce certain amend ments in the report. The Earl of mitts!. jjNTO would not object to its com- The Bill then passed through Committee. POST-OFFICE SUNDAY DELIVERY. Lord BROUGHAM said that, in reference to the Post•ofce Acts, the Government was bound to receive, carry, and deliver letters, and therefore they had no power of stopping the delivery. LOSS OF THE ORION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked if there was any objection to produce the correspondence re. lating to the loss of the Orion oft Portpatrick? If the packet station had not been removed from that port, the boats of the packet service would have been on the spot, and the loss of life would have been less. The Earl cf MINTO would have been able to give a more satisfactory answer if h© had had notice, but h e did not apprehend there would be any objection to the production of the kapers. PETITION. The Earl of STRADBROKE presented a petition in favour of the County Courts Extension Bill; also a petition from Suffolk against defraying the expense of pauper lunatic asylums out of the local rates. SIR EDMUND LYONS. Viscount CANNING said that he had received a communication from Sir Edmund Lyons complaining of a report of his (Viscount Canning's) speech in that House on that day week on the subject of the affairs of Grecce. The report reported him to have said, that he thought the interest of his country could not have been the first interest Sir Edmund Lyons had at heart. He had made no such statement; he had said that, considering the language in which Sir Edmund Lyons hail urged the claims of individuals, the interest of his clients was not the first interest he had at heart; but he had never said that he thought the interest of his country was not the first interest he had at heart; he believed the contrary was the fact, and had he made such an assertion he should have been most un just to Sir Edmund Lyons. He had not made any such assertion, and he had never intended to utter any words that could bear such a construction. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill passed through Committee, and certain verbal amendments were introduced into it. DRAINAGE AND INIPROVEMENT OF LANDS ADVANCES BILL. _ _ The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill. He said, the amount which had already been spent in drainage had produced a most beneficial effect, not only in the improvement of the land, but in the industrial habits of the people; and he had every reason for believing that the benefits which would result from this Bill would be great as regarded both these points. The Earl of LONSDALE expressed a qualified approval of the Bill. Ho thought the advances ought to be confined to works of drainage only. The Earl of LUCAN thought that much benefit would arise from making advances for other works connected with the land titan mere drainage. Lord BEAUMONT admilted that advances for drain age stood on somewhat a different footing from advances for farm buildings, inasmuch as buildings did not in crease the productiveness of the land, while drainage did. Formerly, he had expressed an opinion that the ad vances ought to be confined to drainage purposes, but he thought Ireland in that respect ought to be an excep tion. In that country large districts, deserted by a mi se r a bl e tenantry, had fallen into the possession of the landlords, and unless they were assisted and encouraged to erect buildings, the land would remai❑ unimproved, and, it might be, uncultivated. Under these circumstances, he thought it would be desirable to make advances for other than drainage works in Ire land. At the same time, he thought some control would have to be exercised to prevent jobbing or mis appropriation. After a few words from the Earl of GLENGALL, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he knew great improvements had been checked from the inability of proprietors to provide the necessary farm buildings. In Ireland, more especially, such buildings were parti cularly requisite at the present moment, in consequence of the great change that was going on in the consolida tion of small farms. Every application, whether for drainage or for building advances, would be brought under the consideration of the Board of Works, who would entertain no application for building advances un less satisfied such buildings were necessary. The Marquis of WESTMEA.TH thought it was idle to hope for much improvement so long as the present weight of poor-rates existed. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 24. The SrEMII,III took the Chair at Four o'clock. THIRD READINGS, &c. The following Bills were read a third time and passed— Godstone and Highgate Turnpike-road. Surrey and Sussex Roads. The following Bills, as amended, were considered and agreed to : Bridge across the River Clyde opposite to South Port land-street, Laurie3ton. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway. PRUSSIAN MINISTER'S RESIDENCE BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Sir R. H. INGLIS said he took this opportunity of mentioning the name of the gentleman who was asso ciated with this Bill, and of the insult which had re cently been offered to him in another place. He did not believe that there was any place in Europe, Eind he thought he could answer for America, in which such a wanton and; he believed, unpremeditated insult could have been offered to such an individual.—(Hear, hear.) He did not desire to provoke any disunion between the two assemblies. Mr. B. DENISON rose to order. The SPEAKER intimated that the Hon. .Baronet the Member for the University of Oxford was entirely in order in his remarks, Sir R. H. INGLIS thought that the Honourable Member had not read the title of the Bill, or he would not have interrupted him. As he was saying, be did not wish to provoke any disunion between two houses or two individitals,.but he did maintain that fora man- at -home in his own country, and his own house, deliberately to insult a stranger and a guest, and that guest being the representative of a Sovereign most closely united to our own be loved Queen, was highly unbecoming. He could not call this individual an inoffensive individual, because that life, and t he House, ; and, under bu t of would be degr a di ng t o him, he was one of the most actively' benevolent men that this country contained. His Hone F r i en d h a d b ees dragged before another assembly in v i o l at i on , h e wou ld not say of the rules of that, too, in th e presence o f man y of her Majesty's Minis ters encroaching o n t h e t i me o f the House in making refer ence to one so attacked and so little sustained in another place.—(Hear, hear.) He would add, in conclusion, that in his opinion the explanation which had been given elsewhere added insult to injury, for Chevalier Bunsen had been accused of not un derstanding the English language, whereas he un derstood and wrote it as well as the individual who had chosen to attack him.—(Laughter and cheers.) He would give his cordial support to the Bill now under discussion. Mr. ROEBUCK said his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham), who was supposed to have made the attack, stated distinctly that he informed Chevalier Bunsen, in very courteous terms, that he was sitting in the place which had been a ppropriated to the ladies, and requested him to retire—(Haar)—but, to the asto nishment of the Noble Lord, Chevalier Bun sen, whom the Hon. Member for the University of Oxford called his friend, looked him in the face and said nothing. On the fourth occasion Lord Brougham said, " Then I shall be obliged to have you turned out;" and receiving no answer, he certainly did put in force the orders of the House to have that geutleguaa, ejected frost the gallery...Ku n o • - Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not state which of the Honourable Members' account was correct; but he must say, for himself, that the learning and repu tation of Chevalier Bunsen were such as to secure far him the respect of every individual.—(Cheers.) He was very sorry that anything unpleasant should have transpired in the House of Lords, but, whatever feelings might be entertained in respect to that occur rence, he was sure that the Members of both Houses Parliament entertained the greatest possible respect for Chevalier Bunsen, not only for his diplomatic position, but for his private and personal character. The Bill was then agreed to. CONSIDERATION OF BILLS. The following Bills as amended were considered and agreed to:— - River Dee Conservancy and Improvement. Timber Preserving Company. Westminster Improvements. SECOND READINGS. The National Gallery (Edinburgh) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. An HON. MEMBER presented a petition from Dundee against the Weiv,hts and Measures Bill. Sir R. H. INGLIS presented 33 petitions against the admission of Jews into Parliament. Sir J. TROLLOPE presented similar petitions from places in Lincolnshire. An HON. ME3IBER presented a similar petition from Sherborne. in Dorsetshire. Mr. HOPE presented a petition to the same efftici from Gloucestershire. Mr. MUNDY presented a similar petition from a place in Derbyshire. Sir J. DUCKWORTH presented a similar petition from Bristol. Mr. B. DENISON presented a similar petition from the West Riding.. Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented a petition from some individual, complaining of the conduct of Mr. Commis sioner Fonblanque in a recent case, and praying the House to institute an inquiry into it. Mr. BUCK presented a petition from North Devon against the admission of Jews to Parliament. - Mr. CAYLEY presented a similar petition from the East Riding of Yorkshire. Mr. ANSTEY presented petitions from the city of London, and from Clerkenwell, Southwark, and the Tower Hamlets, in favour of the Marriage Bill. GAOLS IN IRELAND. Mr. P. SCROPE asked whether the Government in tended to bring in a Bill to remedy the grievances inci dent to the over-crowding of gaols in Ireland, founded on the report of the Inspector-General of Gauls in Ire land ? Sir G. GREY was not aware that any alteration in the law was necessary. The reason of the gaols in Ire land being so crowded was the great number of convicts sentenced to transportation, who could not be forwarded to their destination so soon as could be required. MONTHLY PUBLICATIONS AND THE STAMP DUTY. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether monthly publications containing news were liable to the stamp duty; and whether it was true that the authorities at the St-imp-office had inter fered with a monthly publication called the Freeholder; and if so, why that publication had been singled out for such interference? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was true that a monthly publication was liable to the stamp duty as a newspaper, although it was published once a month. He could assure the House that the same course had been pursued with respect to the Freeholder as with respect to all other papers. FOREIGN POLICY.—MR. ROEBUCK'S MOTION, Oa the motion for reading the orders of the day. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said; that as the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield had given notice of a mo tion for to-night, he was quite ready to move that the orders of the day should be postponed. At the same time, as the Government wished that a full and fair discussion should take place on the subject, he should leave it to the lion. Gentlemen who had amend ments upon the motion to say what course they would pursue. Mr. ANSTEY intimated that he should not press his amendment. Mr. HUME said he should exercise his own discre tion upon the subject. Mr. ROEBUCK then moved: " That the principles on which the foreign policy of her Majesty's Government have been regulated have been such as were calculated to maintain the honour and dignity of this country, and in times of unexampled difficulty to preserve peace be tween England and the various nations of the world.," He said it was his duty towards the House to offer an explanation of the reason why he made this motion. I❑ his opinion, e Government constituted like ours, a large portion of whose policy had been condemned by one great branch of the Legislature, was unable to main tain the interests of this country intact, and to consult the great interests of the people of England, or to hold the reins of power, without affording any explanation to the other House. When any one portion of our Legislature bad expressed an opinion so direct and so plain, it became the duty of this House to ascertain what was the conduct to be pursued by the Go vernment of the country, and to express their opi nion upon the same point. He was quite prepared to admit that no Government was called upon to resign upon a vote of the House of Lords. lie quite agreed with the Noble Lord in that.—(Hear, hear.) But in a constitution like ours, in which it was thought necessary to have a House of Lords, when they had explained their own feelings, it was right that this House should step forward and say what the people of England thought upon the matter. If the Noble Lord had determined after that re solution to go on with the Administration, and had permitted the matter to drop without any fur ther inquiry, the present Government would be like Governments he had seen supported by opinion which was scarcely an opinion, and impotent as regarded the couutry and Europe in general. It was for this reason that he had come forward upon the recent occasion, and he was sure no one was more desirous for an ex planation than the Noble Lord himself.—(Hear, hear.) He would now address himself to the question before the House. The House of Lords, in that mode which suited their peculiar habits, bad, in as strong a phrase as was generally used in that House, made a plain, simple, and clear declaration, condemning the foreign policy of the Government.—(Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding the nisi prius fashion in which the whole matter was considered by the House of Lords—(Hear) — in spite of all the small technicalities which would have made the fortune of a young man at a quarter sessions, or in the Queen's Bench, while investigating an affidavit— in spite, he would say, of the mode in which the proposi tion was dealt with in the House of Lords, it amounted to a condemnation, in general terms, of the spirit and foreign policy which had been adopted by the Government. In coming to the consideration of this subject he confessed he was inclined to come to a favourable conclusion re specting the Noble Lord who was at the head of theforeign policy in this country, but it was not to be understood that he expected a blind feeling of approbation with re spect to the Noble Lord, for he had as freqnently as any other Member quarrelled with particular acts of his policy. He agreed entirely with the prin ciple of the Noble Lord's policy, though in many instances he had seen much to lament and deprecate. The foreign policy of every Government, he appre hended, affected two classes of people—those who re garded individual rights and wrongs, and those who re garded the general interest, dignity, and honour of their country. He believed, as regarded individual rights and wrongs in reference to foreign nations, the object of the Noble Lord had been to extend the protection and shield of England to her wandering sons, who were carried by commerce, or pleasure, or necessity, to various regions of the world—to extend over dem as much as the rules of civilized nations would permit the broad, shield of English pro tection.—(Cheers.) Whether they went to the despotic country of Russia, the free country of America, or to the confines of any power, insignificant or helpless, with regard to the interests of this country as a people, he believed the policy of the Noble Lord had been in the first place to maintain the peace of the world —(Cheers)—not by truckling to despotism—(Cheers)— but by teaching all foreign countries with whom we had any relations, that England, as far as could be permitted by the rules which regulated international communica tion, would bring the great moral power of her name to the maintaining of constitutional liberty, as against treachery on the one hand or despotism on the other.—(Cheers.) lie could not suppose that there could be a Minister in this country who was the advocate of legitimacy, which, after all was another, though a softened expression of a much harder thing, the object of which was to make tyranny safer in Europe. (Hear, hear.) Ho believed these antagonistic principles were now on their trial.—(Hear, hear.) He believed the House of Commons was now called upon to decide not the Ministerial-existence, for...that, as far as he was concerned, mattered mighty little—(A laugh)—but upon those two principles, that was, whether England should oppose or support despotism—should oppose or sup port abroad the principle of the Government that prevailed at home?—(Cheers.) England did not seek by polemical force to thrust its pro postions upon any people, but it did seek by its moral influence—which was every day growing in Europe, which had already shattered down many thrones, and would shatter down some that still existed, to extend peace and civilization—to say to the world, " We are favourable to those splendid truths which in the hands of enlightened and oonfident men have made nations great and people happy."—(Cheers.) He looked at the large results which had followed that policy since the Noble Lord had held office, and taking those large results, what did he find? Let him com pare, in a few words, the results of the policy that had been pursued by England from the year 1830 to the pre sent time with the results of the policy which was pur sued by England from 1790 to 1815.—(Hear.) In 1789 first broke out that grand result, which he said was the increased enlightenment of Europe against despotism. In 1789 commenced the French Revolution, and the whole result of that event depended upon the view which Eng land took of what was even then called legitimacy. The Governments of Europe took the side of the Legi timatists, and unfortunately England supported them. The consequences might be seen, might be read in the most terrible conflicts that ever disgraced the history of man.—(Hear, hear.) Blood was shed like water, and wealth scattered about with an extravagance the like of which no record exists—(Hear, hear) — in the annals of any nation on the face of the earth.— (Hear.) From 1789 to 1815 all the great bonds . tbat cemented nations together were broken up—nations were separated into enemy and enemy, and relations of every kind depended upon force—he who was the migh t9494/1041#19•AMQ I.4eL.FOrAtOdivis3tri) Mankind looked on with absolute astonishment and horror at the devastation, strife, and confusion that ; followed, and it was only when the exigencies of numerous nations induced them to unite their energies and power in overthrowing the mighty Napoleon that peace was again restored to mankind.—(Cheers.) Legitimacy was once more established again in France, and from 1815 to 1830 there was a constant tide moving against it amongst the great body of the French people. —(Hear, hear.) At length, in 1830, the volcano burst. and the legetimacy of the Bourbons was scettered to the winds for ever.—(Hear, hear.) lie felt it due to the great man who was then at the head of the Councils of England to state that the principles which now actuated the British Government owed their origin to him. The Duke of Wellington was then at the head of the English Councils, and he of all men was the most fitting to deal with the crisis. —(Cheers.) His position, his capacity, his powers, and his history and knowledge of Europe re iidered him peculiarly fitting for the occa sion, and it would ever be a source of benefit to Europe that he had the courage to take upon himself th e responsibility of dealing with it.`—(Hear, hear.) Eng land sided with the French people, and it was therefore to bo expected that the revolution of France should be followed by•"similar occurrences in Belgium, Poland, and other nation's; 'butTriglalid at this time set an example to the. world, by accomplishing a peaceful revolution—England dispossessed the House of Lords of the power of ruling the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) The revolution of France was carried by barricade, but the revolution of England was carried through the forms of the Huse of Commons. That affected not merely a change in our government in that particular, but changed the government itself. The first question submitted to the Noble Lord was the revolution of Belgium, and he could say there was no part of the Noble Lord's policy which more deserved commendation than the foresight he evinced on that oc casiun.—(Hear, hear.) If the Noble Lord had followed the suggestions of many around him he would have pro posed U. separation of Belgium from Holland. The people in this country were careless of foreign politics; they were insular by their position and their habits, and the Foreign Minister was more : than any other man re sponsible to this country, simply because the people of England were careless of foreign politics. Therefore he said the'Noble Lord en that occasion, if he had listened to some around, would have proposed a separation of Belgium from Holland. It' he had done so he (Mr. Roebuck) believed a universal war in Europe would have been the consequence and he was certain that, in 1848, Belgium, and the other domi nions of Holland, would have at once wrested her self from all unnatural alliances, and seized on France, which she would have called her natural friend and ally. —(Hear, hear.) And then down again would have come the Northern Powers, and we would have had repeated the scenes which characterised the period between 1790 and 1815. Therefore, he said, not wasting the time of that House on little-minded technicalities, but judging of, the Noble Lord's policy on the bread principles of wisdom and justice, that policy on that occasion was instru men t a l i n p reven ti ng a fruitiul source of misery to mankind. He (Mr. Roe buck) believed that to have been the type of the Noble Lord's government. On a sudden .that House had been surprised by a revolution in Greece.. There were three parties to that revolution. There was Greece, which re presented the despotism of Europe on the one hand, and France and England on the other. In Greece he found a monarch coming from Bavaria and educated in a small German Court. He (Mr. Roebuck) felt degraded when he saw the name of - England prostituted in such a discussion. Ile wanted no representative in the shape of an ambassador to protect our interests at fo reign courts, but the great name of England instead. The French wishing to get rid of that which did not represent the French people, which did not represent French feelings, which was simply a b an d of men who were gathered together for a special end and purpose, one set working under-hand and over-hand, for the purposes of legitimate monarchy, and another set, under the form and semblance and prostituted name of order, endeavouring to maintain their own individual mi nisterial existence—these were the men who had been aided by the worst of men, the wild band of men, who, under the shield of Liberty, endeavour to introduce their wild anarchichal ideas into society—the Socialists and Communists of France. These were the men who had lent their aid to the monarchical party, who had dared to try to reduce France again to her former state. Such was the position of affairs when on a sudden the people of England were told that Admiral Parker had received orders to proceed to the Piraeus. And then that celebrated power in an other place, which was always ready to oppose anything liberal in government, at any time, stepped forward with the majority which, indeed, they always had, though they did not always think fit to use it, though they often threatened. He did not know how many times he had heard this session, " Ministers will be in a minority in the Lords;" and the ordinary answer, he must say, was—" Who cares?" Well, there was a curious cir cumstance with regard to these orders of Admiral Parker's, and he would ask the House to bear it in mind. The people of Hungary had risen against the despotism of Austria. In a glorious but unfor tunate conflict they had succumbed to the united forces of Austria and Russia. The patriots—be would presume to call them so—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers)—fled, and where did they go for succour ? To Turkey. With that bloodhound pertinacity which always distinguishes despotic Governments, they were tracked slowly and surely to their biding place. And then was sent to an independent Government the most insulting demand that ever was sent by an insulting Government. But the Noble Lord, nobly representing two nations, stepped in an said " This shall not be."—(Great cheering.) All glory to France, who had assisted us at this time, and the sight of a British fleet in the famous bay of Salamis, stopped these wretches, and vindicated the law of nations. Now, was there anything in the claim itself unusual or contrary to the law of nations? Ile would first take the cure of France. The law of nations he took to be, correctly speaking, no law; it was a sys tem of general morality, in which the rules were necessarily vague, and depended rather on the expression of a country than anything which had been settled by a tribunal. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then referred to the assertion which had been made, that the proceedings of the English Government with regard to Greece were without prece dent, and mentioned several instances in which France had demanded compensation for injured French subjects residing in foreign states, but had refused to accept the mediation of this or any other country. Ile alluded to those instances as striking lessons, not only to members in that House, but to members in the French Chamber of Deputies, who spoke without knowing what had been done by their own countrymen, used language which, were it not for the undaunted majesty and power and great serenity of the people of England, would be deemed insulting.—(Cheers, and ironical cheers from the Opposition Benches.) But we, being above such petty feelings, soaring above them in our unapproachable greatness, disregard them.--(Laughter.) The demands made by France on that occassion were contested by Portugal; they went into the Tagus, took her fleet, and threatened to bombard her towns; they complained also that a Frenchman had been subjected to a revere imprisonment for a slight offence, and they demanded that he should be liberated, that the sentence should be annulled and cancelled, that such sentences should only be carried out in future by a special act, and that the judge should be dismissed.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then con tinued—l am not here to treat this matter lightly. We had a right to say to France in 1831, in the time of him who was our dear ally, Louis Philippe—(Hear, hear) — just fresh with his new laurels, when he stepped in between legitimacy and liberty, and having the greatest opportunity of governing the world upon really liberal principles, but who, through a base personal feeling, broke down and destroyed all his greatness. In 1831, then, the French Government demanded of Portugal an indemnity that their subjects should not be liable to arrest, that the chief of police be dismissed, and that all the sentences passed upon French subjects for political crimes be abrogated. That is one of the examples set us by France. Oh, but you say, that is only a solitary instance; but I can go over a dozen. They may say that is a petty affair; but I can find twenty other affairs. In 1842 it appeared that the French Government fancied that the governor of San Salvador had been insulted, and de manded compensation to the amount of 1,000 dollars.— (A laugh.) They were told that if the money was not paid the French ships would bombard the town. They refused to do so, the French consul retired and went on board, and then the amount was raised to 2,000 dollars, and the port blockaded. What followed? The poor people paid the money.—(Hear, and a laugh.) That's another instance. The French complained of Mexico, because a mob had pulled down a manufactory. The French said," We must have immediate payment." They refused all attempts at mediation—they demanded pay ment—instant, unequivocal payment; and because they refused that the French bombarded them. I could give many similar instances, but I will take another because it is said that we have attacked a weak nation. On the western coast of Africa, the governor of the French colony of Senegal found himself offended. What did he do? Ile went up the river, took possession of the territory, chastised the offending party, and his demands were regularly paid. Nuw let us consider this. -- With a -great - nation a blockade is a declaration of war; but it is merely a mer ciful and useful mode of acting with a weak nation, and, comparatively with England, a powerless nation—not to declare war. That blockade took place, and the English fleet took possession of certain ships. Now let us go to the United States of America. There is our own blood and bone—our own institutions, a people as commercial as ourselves, and loving peace as we do.—(Cries of " Hear," and laughter.) I shall take some curious in stances, and they are instructive. It appears that in 1814-15, as is well known, America was at war with England. An American vessel was chased by an Eng lish ship under the very walls of the fort of Fayal and was taken. Our brother over the water presented his bill.—(A laugh.) To whom? Was it to England? No. England was at war with him, and we had a right to capture his ships. They presented the bill to the Portuguese Government, and the answer they received was —"lt was done in spite of us." " That is precisely what we mean," said the Americans, " that is why you must pay us."—(Hear, hear.) Up to this hour, and let the people of England know it, that m oney_ has not been paid ; but at this moment, perhaps, vessels o vessels are coming from the other side 1 Atlantic to blockade the Ta w That is an example of gu la s at on a t Brooke, General nation can do in the way of demanding satisfaction. Then there was the case of the ship which it appeared that certain persons an tha e t nli a g e bte u n n e t d . kedbill and the was sent one calling themselves harbour to custom-house officers removed from another—the vessel was wrec Thcao arc two cans, but there another. AlWat was in to the Portuguese Government.—(Hear, hear). for some time King of Naples, put there by Napoleon, and he was deemed by legitimate Europe a u surper. He se.zs and applie s t o hi s own purposes certa i n A me rican property, and in a short time afterwards he was expelled and shot. The inevitable consequence ensued—the Ame rican Governmen t sent in its bill.—(A laugh.) 4 , B u t," says the legitimate Government of Naples, " he is a usurper; we have turned him out and shot him." "We cannot help it, pay us," and the money was paid under a threat of sending the American fle e t t o N ap l es . j-low comes it that the excitable disposition of the gentlemen on these benches has not found out all this? how comes it that they bore the bombardment of Vera Crua without a murmur—that they allo wed France to go to M o rocco and demand satisfaction? How comes it that they had no sensibility at all? Why, because it wou ld not chime in with their peculiar policy. The sam e thing has 09" curred as regards England; and I may mention that to 1831, at the time of the Reform Bill, and while the House of Commons was looking on, an Englishfleetwas sent to Portugal to demand the redress of injuries received by some of her subjects in thq i , time of Dom Miguel. That was refused, and hostilities were uctuellY commenced. Now, for many years, and herein lies the misfortune of the Noble Lord (Palmerston); for manY years there were const Int cases arising with regard to the Greek Government, and complaints were many on behalf of English subjects resid en t in th a t co untry. The whole tone and manner of that Government deserves to be described. Letters written by our ambassador re mained sometimes six months, sometimes two years un answered; reiterations of one complaint after another, and yet no answer. We forebore, knowing our owa strength; but every time the demands became necessa rily more importunate, and in one case no less than 13 years passed without any attempt at redress. There is the case of Mr. Finlay, and the fir,t letter I light upon is one from Lord Aberdeen.—(Hear.) His first reply to Mr. Finlay's application was in 1842, in which he de scribes his claim as arising out of a p ro t oco l en t e red into between England, Prussia and France to enable certain Turkish proprietors to sell their land, and among others $ part was purchased by Mr. Finlay. The rule or the law in Greece is this: that the Government may apply th e land of a private person to public p ur p oses , t wo condi• tions being precedent—namely, that t h ere s h o uld be en ordinance describing the land, and th a t th e va l ue of the land should be paid before they t oo k p ossess i on . Two more just and proper condition s co u ld no t b e con ceived. What tteli place in Mr. Finlay's ca se ? Hi s land was taken possession of witho u t an y or di nance . H e a pplies to know how that c an b e , an d h e i s to l d that t h e Go vernment has not yet t a k en possess i on o f i t. H e there upon went to take p ossess i on o f it, and he is very arbi trarily laid hold of and turned out, and then he writ e ! to the Greek Government again. "Yes," they say. " it is taken for public purposes." And by whom ? N o t for a great national purpose or interest, not to provide an arsenal, or construct a mole—not for any great national work, such as a railway, or even a poor-house, unless we call the palace a poor-house. It is taken for the Per pose of the King's garden, in which he might disport, himself at the expense of the people of this country.-- (Hear, hear.) They turned Mr. Finlay out of posses" anon, and refused all payment whatever. At last, the, man tired of making importunity, does what he is per reedy entitled to do, and as he read the policy of Eng land so I read it—as ho read the duty of the Noble Lord so I read it—he applied to Lord Aberdeen to intercede with the Greek Government to obtain for him payment of his land. The first thing Lord Aberdeen does is to acknowledge the justice of his claim:— "It appears from Mr. Finlay's statement that you are already aware of the merits of his case, and that you have had some communication with the Greek Government thereupon. It is only necessary, therefore, that I should instruct you to follow up your representations in favour of Mr. Finlay s claim in such manner as you may deem best calculated to obtain that compensation to which Mr. Finlay may appear to be entitled." What is the answer to that? The people of Athens appear to have retained, at least, one quality of their an cestors—they are capital at a law suit, and they try by quirks to get out of the difficulty. They say, " WhY not try the tribunal?" The idea of trying a Greek tribunal!—(A laugh.) What was the poor man to do? One thing was quite clear—that there was no chance of obtaining any satisfaction but by appealing to his court' try. He said, "I came here to aid in advancing the liberties of Greece and to resist Turkey—l gave you 511 I could in the shape of assistance, and you are now suc cessful. I bought this land under an English protocol, ' and I now demand that protection to which, as an Eng' lishman, lam entitled." But the Grecian Government found protectors here, and I find that great authorities L have been quoted to sanction the refusal of the Greek Government. The great name of Lord Mansfield bas been brought forward to show that Mr. Finlay had done wrong in appealing to this country. I ask those who made use of that authority it they know the case ? cannot believe that the Noble Lord who quoted it all Lord Mansfield's could have known the circumstances under which that opinion was given. It was given, Pot by Lord Mansfield, but by Mr. M urra y— not t h a t I era going to do what other s h ave d one , t o attr ib u t e to the law-officers of the Crown th a t th e y wou ld g ive an opinion to suit the views of the Government with which they were connected. The Noble Lord who made that assertion judged by himself rather than fre:dewy higher standard.—(Bear, hear, and cries of " - Another instance may be cited. A loan was entered into by the Empeuer of Germany; Maria Theresa sacceeeled him, and the King of Prussia took Silesia, whitalt.ebled been mortgaged, as it vet?elefor the debt; and witeso l 7 , to , .k possession of.

What" did the King of Prussia do ? He said—" I care not about your Admiralty Courts. I assume that they are wrong., and will confiscate that debt because certain injuries have beea inflicted upon my subjects." What was the answer made by Mr. Murray and Sir George Leigh ? They said, as a matter of tact, "First, the injury you complain of has not been done, for the vessels taken have gone through the Admiralty Court, and have almost all been released. They have gone fairly through these courts. With respect to some there is a doubt, and by and by I decision will be come to." But h e wen t f urt h er , a" said, " Here is a case in which th e p ersona l h ono ur 0 1, the King is concerned, and he, having entered into A treaty with certain individuals to pay this debt, took the idea of confiscating the debt because other individua ls of the same nation had done an injury to some of his subjects."—(Hear, hear.) But is even that a parallel case? Here is the case of an injury done by the Go vernment itself. The sufferer has no chance of redress; and in that case he has a right to call in the aid of in ternational law, and appeal to his country. I must sup" pose that the Noble Lord who referred to it never read this case, otherwise he never would have said such a thing. I beg pardon of the House, but I must refer to one or two of the letters from our Ambassador. He says , in one dated " Athens, Aug. 7, 1849—1 have not received any answer from the Greek Government to my note of the 2d July, respecting the claims of M. Pacifico and Ai r ' Finlay." " August 20.—E am still without any, answer from the Greek Government to my note. I shall only trouble the House with one extract from the letter of Sir Edmund Lyons to M. Coletti, which gives 5 clear, fair, and unequivocal st a t emen t o f the nature 0 f Mr. Finlay's claim : " With regard to that part of my note of the 24th October in which I had the honour to inform you that I had been instructed by Viscount Palmerston to call your attention t°, the ether unsatisfied demands of her M a j es t y ' s Government, and to request that they should be i mme di a t e ly se ttled, yo u say that if any of those demands hav e rema i ne d una nswered by your predecessors you wish that th e y m a y b e po inted out to you, in order that you may give your immediate attention to'thein.

Nor has 31 . 1 answer been returned to the note I addressed to M.

Now, I ask the House of Commons whether the rels anything in that language unnecessarily stringent or uncourteous, or anything more than was due toth rfectlY gencies of the case ?
