GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY DEVIATIONS . AMENDMENT OF ACTS, ALTERATION OF TOLLS AND OF EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAIL WAY TOLLS BILL. Lord BEAUMONT said the object of this Bill was to increase the tolls for the conveyance of sheep and other animals. The railway was not opened in its whole length. Several Noble Lords connected with Lincolnshire had intended to oppose the Bill, and,tin the understanding that it would not come on until Tuesdaythey were absent. He ' had several petitions from the fteteulturists of Line°lu shire against the Bill, praying for the recommittal of the Bill, and that they might be heard by counsel against the Bill. Lord Carrington and Lord Willoughby, who understood that tho third read ing would not come on until Tuesday, were absent, therefore he hoped that the Noble Lord who had charge of the Bill would postpone the third reading. Lord WHARNCLIFFE objected to any postponement of the third reading. Lord BEAUMONT had on a former occasion moved the postponement of the third reading, but he was told he could not not move the postpone ment then, because no motion for the third reading had been given,l these Noble Lords also understood it would be postponed to Tuesday, and he hoped that un derstanding would be adhered to. The Earl of GRANVILLE, suggested that the Bill should be postponed to Tuesday. Lord WHARNCLIFFE hod no objection, under the circumstances, to postpone the third reading to Tuesday. LIVERPOOL WATERWORKS BILL. A NOBLE LORD presented a petition against this Bill, which was ordered to be referred to the Select Com mittee on the Bill.

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, The Earl of MINT() expressed his objections to cer tain portions of the Bill, which gave too great power to the local authorities, and gave no appeals. Lord KINNAIRD said the Bill was necessary:in order to put an end to the canvassing of magistrates by attor nies. The magistrates of towns thus canvassed fre quently reversed the decision of the local court justices. The Earl of EGLINTON supported the Bill. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. SMALL TENEMENTS pttECOVERY (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was-read a third time and passed, with the addition of a clause moved by the Earl of Liman. ASSAULT ON HER MAJESTY. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose and said—l feel it is but in accordance with the respect that is due to the House that I should allude to a subject, and I shell merely allude to it, of the occurrence of which I have no doubt but that every one of your Lordships have already received information.—(Hear, hear.) I mean the atrocious attack which was made on the person of her Majesty last evening.—(Hear.) It has been my un fortunate duty on more than one occasion before to call the attention of the House to circumstances of nearly a similar character, but on each occasion these circum stances have only tended to exhibit . in the strongest possible point of view, the courage, the firmness, the presence of mind of the Sovereign.—(Hear, hear) and the enthusiastic loyalty and the attachment to her Majesty which is felt by all classes of her Ma jesty's subjects, and the indignant feeling which they entertain against the perpetrators of these outrages.— (Loud cheers.) The circumstances which I have to re late to your Lordships are that last evening, on her return from a visit to her illustrious relative, the Duke of Cambridge. On her return from Cambridge-house, en leaving the Court-yard, her Majesty was assaulted by an individual in a manner which your Lordships have all, doubtless, before this been informed.—(Hear.) The person guilty of this octrage was immediatel arrested. The motives which could have induced him to be guilty of such a crime have not been yet ascertained. All that I can state is, that the individual charged with this offence is an individual who has moved hitherto in what is termed a respectable sphere of society, and who has, I am deeply grieved to say, borne her Ma jesty's commission as an officer in the army—(Hear, hear)—and is the son of a gentleman of considerable fortune. I have said before it is impossible to guess even at the motive which could have induced him to perpetuate this odious dastardly and atrocious attack.— (Hear and cheers.) The only result has been to elicit the most enthusiastic ; expressions of loyalty to the the Throne, and attachment to her Majesty's person from every class of the commu nity.—(Hear.) I do not feel called upon to ask for by your Lordships, as found expre s sive of your opinio n , but I feel that if I did so feel so called on, your Lord snips would join in an unanimous expression of feelings of loyalty and attachment to her Majesty and her family. --(Loud cheers.) Lord STANLEY —If the Noble Marquis had felt it transistent with his duty to move an address to her Ma jesty on this subject, I will not say of congratulation, for it appears that her Majesty was never in danger from this outrage—(Cries of " Hear, hear")--I am ;sure that your Lordships would at once have given expression to your devoted feelings of loyalty. An ad ,dress not of congratulation, as there was no danger, but en address expressing that indignation which we all of us feel at the mean—(Cheers) --the dastardly—(Cheers)— the cowardly—(Cheers)—attack which has been made upon her Majesty.—(Loud cheers.) The whole country feels but one sentiment of indignation against the perpe tration of an outrage so disgusting—(Cheers)—so de grading— (Cheers)—so dastardly—(Loud cheers)—so brutal —(Renewed cheers)— so uninaaly—(Continued cheers)—as that of last night. It is to be hoped that -the perpetrator of that outrage was not at that time in such a state of mind as to be responsible for his actions. (Hear, hear.) But that was a conclusion not to be arrived at lightly, and he hoped that such a conclusion would not be arrived at without the fullest and amplest inves tigation. The attempt had only afforded another opportunity to her Majesty to exhibit he great personal in o g u r their age— l ( o L y o e. l c u d ty d as tardly assault.—(Loud cheers.) p a ae n j t d ersa t tt o yo, rh and people dthtihs eicro cowardly rt e de x sl yt h a i ta b i iontnd ureesrp)--eUri. hope that in the investigation 1 and Lord indignation Bit o u GacHtthe teAhhe of the circumstances attending this dastardly and atro cious attempt both the judge and jury will not give way to the stupid tendency which has on more than one occasion been exhibited not to hold persons responsible for their criminal acts. If the mind of persons was so constituted as to be in fluenced by motives, such a person should be held re sponsible for his actions, and know that several high legal authorities bad recently modified their opinions as to what constituted the responsibility of of a person for criminal acts which he may have com mitted. CRIMINAL LAWS CONSOLIDATION BILL. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then moved the com mittal of this Bill, and was (LEFT STEAKOG3 HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in moving that the House at its rising do adjourn till Monday next, said—Sir, I feel it necessary to :take this opportunity to allude t , .) an oc- currence which I cannot mention without expressing my deep and serious regret that it should have happenel.— (Hear, hear.) Sir, the House is no doubt aware that yesterday afternoon her Majeaty the Queen had been to pay a visit to her uncle, the Duke of Cam bridge ; she was returning in her carriage, and had just left the house of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, when a person struck her Ma jesty with a stick on the temple, causing her Majesty to fall back in her carriage. Her Majesty, however, lam rejoiced to say, soon recovered, and she was enabled to return directly to Buckingham Palace.—(Cheers.) I had the honour of seeing her Majesty a short time afterwards, and it is hardly necessary to inform the House that her Majesty acted on this occasion with ber usual fortitude, coverage, and forbearance.—(lmmense cheering.) Sir, lam Berry to be obliged to add that the person who made this brutal attack was a person in the dress of a gentleman, who for merly held a commission in the army.—(Hear, hear.) What may be the legal character of the crime he has committed it is of course my duty to abstain altogether from touching upon, but I am assured that the feeling which was manifested last night of loyalty and attach ment towards her Majesty—(Renewed cheers)—was universal throughout: this country.—(Hear, and cheering.) Sir, it now only rem.e.ins for me to express a hope which I confidently enterti til.n, that after this untoward event our prayers will be the more fervent,for her Majesty's safety—(Cheers)--sind that her Majesty may enjoy a long life, and contin tie to act with benefit to the country. —(Loud cheers.) Sir DE LACY IWAN'S, on the part of hie consti tuents, rose to exp rest; the strong objection which they had to Hyde Park being appropriated to the intended Exhibition in 1851; and he would beg to suggest that Battersea Park would be a much more convenient and a less objectionable pl ace for the erection of the proposed building. Mr. BERRIES said he had no doubt the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) vrould be governed by precedent in whatever course he look with respect to the lamentable event which had bef al len her Majesty; but at the same time he (Mr. Hetrries) could not help rising on this occasion to a uggest that this was a fitting opportunity for presenting an Address to her Majesty with regt .rd to the shameful outrage which had been com of itted upon her person, and he was sure that every Member in:the House would cordially unite in such an expr 3ssion of feeling. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had considered this subject before coming down to the House, but he re membered that on tlee last occasion of this nature it was thought not advisable (so we understood) to present such an address to her M ajesty as the Honourable Member had suggested; and 11. e thought it would be advisable to follow the same commie on this occasion. If he (Lord John Russell) had felt disposed to move such an address, he felt quite sure the t he would have met with the cor dial concurrence of t he House.—(Cheers.) Sir ROBERT IN'i LIS could not refrain from express ing the shame which he felt, that a person who had had the honour of beari ni; her Majesty's commission in the army should have tit tred to raise his hand against her person, and that a sc idler should have struck a woman and a mother in the presence of her children, and that that woman and tha mother should have been his so vereign. Mr. HUME did nof think there was any necessity for an address; he was rare there would be but one feeling from one end of the o ountry to the other on the subject. With regard to the ex position, no man was more anxious that it should succeed , than he was. From the first he had done all he could for i'.:t; but he did not believe that such a building as was prop osed would be so easily disposed of as they seemed to think. Mr. LABOUCHEII E wished that all discussion should be postponed until Id onday, after the meeting of the Commissioners, which, would take place to-morrow. Mr. OSBORNE could not consent to postpone de claring the opinion of his constituents until Monday, With his experience or architecture, he did not believe that such a budding as that proposed could be cleared away in six months .—(Hear, hear.) There was another question to be considered, and that was the propriety of the erection of that building in the Park. He understood that the building was to have a dome as high as the ILt , nument and twice the height of St. Paul's. Mr. GLADSTONE, thought that such a dome could certainly not be erect( ad before Monday, and it would be better to postpone the iscussion until then. Mr. OSBORNE was quite aware of that, but he wished for an assurance, that no proceedings at all would be taken until Monday., In reply to Lord J. MANNERS, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that nothing final would be done in respect to the erection until Monday next, when the Cummiasiooe re proposed to take the subject again into their consid e; cation. The discussion then dropped, and the motion for the adjournment of the H cruse, at its rising, until Monday was agreed to. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL. In reply to Mr. HOUSMAN, Lord J. RUSSELL it itimated that this Bill would be taken on Thursday ne:et . AFFAIRS OF GREECE.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. COCKBURN ref urned the adjourned debate on the foreign policy of the Government. He hoped, inas much as he had been pointedly alluded to last night in the speech of the Right ; Hon. Member for the Univer sity of Oxford (Mr. GI adetone), that the House would not think him presumptious if be ventured to trespass on their time for a brief period.—(Hear, hear.) He was anxous in the first place to set himself right with his Right Hon. Friend, who was plleased to observe in the course of his speech that he (Mr. Cockburn) had sneered at him. Now„ nothing on earth was further from his wish than to show the slightest disrespeck,what sover for that Right ilun. Gentleman; yet last night he somewhat violently throw down the gauntlet on the floor of the House, anal challenged him (Mr. Cockburn) to reply to the facts w Well he stated, and above all the principles which he e inniciatetl.—(Hear.) Now, he Naas as strongly convir.ce d art ho was of anything in his, life, that his facts were totally incorrect, and his law untena ble—(Cheers)—and he ventured to accept the chal lenge which the Rig ht Hon. Gentleman had thrown out. —(Cheers.) After acknowledging the superior abilities and attainments Al r. Gladstone, the Honourable and Learned Gentleman went on to say that in all his experience he never heard such a series of misrepre sentations—(Lend c heers)—and he would undertake to prove that, step by step; but he felt he was under a difficulty in enter - it:lN into this debate, because beloning to the legal pito! ession, he might be accused of treating the question in a . Nisi Prius fashion. However, he could give abundant evidence that the practice of so dealing with any imp)] taut subject was not confined to Westminster Hall.— ( Loud cheers.) Of all the petti fogging proceedings he had ever known this was the worst.—( Loud cheers.) It was so commenced elsewhere, and was again exempt Heed in that House.—(Cheers.) He must say he never b At ird an obs - irvation which seemed to him to be more injudii :ions or in worse taste than that made by the Right lle .n. Gentleman the Member for Ripon with regard to the legal profession.—(Hear, hear.) Because it followed ti e admirable speech of his Honourable and Learned. Friend, whose masterly analysis of the law and lunainot a exposition of facts had cer- LONDON, Noble Lord did not support the cause of the Poles against the Russian;, though he at the some time ac tuated other states to establish their independence by revolution, or d any other means of opposition to their lawful and long-recognised Sovereign.—(Hear.) lie questioner" whether the peacemen in that House would support the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) who had been the instrument of war throughout the whole conti nent. lie returned his sincere thaake to the Noble Lord for his able and indefatigable exerti, ne for the destruc tion of the slave trade, but at the same time should say that he believed that the Noble Lord was virtually en couraeing that slave trade by his connivance at the im portation of slave-grown sugar into this country.— (Hear, hear.) He regretted with the deepest pain, from his high respect for the Noble Lard, that he should on the present occasion withhold his assent to the propo pnsition of the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield (Mr. Roebuck). The Marquis of GRANBY said that the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) had taken the privilege of travelling over all the nations of Europe, in order, to defend his conduct, by showing that he was directed by the spirit of propagandism, and for that reason he was most strongly opposed to the opinions of the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston.) For if such a principle wero to be sanctioned, he was at a loss to know where it would end, as Russia, France, Austria, and other countries, would ride roughshod over all the other nations of Europe. He would only ask the House what was the meaning of Lord Minto's travelling commission? Was it anything else than to carry out the principles of propagandism? Look to the state of the Sardinian Government, and also to Sicily, and let the House say was it for peace or reconciliation, or for the benefit and pros perity of the people or the Governments, that the Noble Lord (Lord Minto) under the direction of the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) had unduly interfered with those states. He would again ask what right or grounds had the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) to say that Prince Metternich was not honest and sincere? He next contended that the people and Government of Greece were very unjustly treated by the Noble Lord relative to the claims of Pacifico and Tinley, particu larly the former individual, who never brought his case before a tribunal of that country. When the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) alluded to Mr. Findlay, he should say, in opposition to the Noble Lord, that the arbitration had not closed before the Noble Lord's orders for blockade were issued and put into execu tion, and, moreover, he was prepared to prove that the arbitration had not closed till the day after those orders were issued and carried into execution. With respect to the proffered mediation of the French Government, the Noble Lord had not met it in the right spirit in having said that the British Governmeet would not abate one jot of its claims. Then as to the conven tion in London, the basis of which was formed on the sth of April, it was the duty of the Noble Lord to have sent instructions of that convention at once to Athens, but the Noble Lord had failed to do so, and to that omission of duty was attributable much of the danger that arose out of the negotiation of those claims. With respect to the assertions that the interests of Austria and Prussia were antagonistic to those of England, he contended that such was not the case. He admitted the great talent of the Noble Lord, but if talent were mis applied it was dangerous, and looking at the whole of their foreign policy under the Noble Lord, he found it insulting to other nations, and must, therefore, vote against the motion of the Hon. Member for Sheffield, which was a vote of confidence in that policy. Sir WILLIAM MOLESW ORTH said that the Hon. Member for Sheffield had in his motion reverted to the foreign policy of the Noble Lord at the head of the Fo reign Department, and had asked the House to support that policy. They sat there as a court of solemn appeal, for the purpose of pronouncing a solemn verdict on that policy, and they were bound to do so. The English peo ple had so much to attend to in their domestic interests, that they commonly confided their management of fo reign affairs to the hands of the Government; the repre sentatives of foreign nations were aware of that, and the effect of the vote of this House would be either to iden tify the people of England with the foreign policy of her Majesty's Ministers or to separate them from that policy. What were the principles of their foreign policy? The Noble Lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had, in the ablest speech that was ever delivered in that House—(Hear, hear)—declared it. He (Sir William Molesworth) considered it an unsafe policy. Now, as to the claims of British subjects in foreign countries, it was said that it was the duty cf her Majesty Ministers to exert their influence and power in protection of those claims. Now, that appeared to him to be rather a dangerous doctrine, for according to :such doctrine, if a subject should be injured and not able to obtain redress, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs would be bound to interfere in his behalf, and commit the station in strife, and that was the course taken by the Noble Lord. Why, if a British subject were waylaid and plundered by banditti in a foreign country, the Noble Lord, according to that doctrine, would be bound to in terfere and call for redress from the Government of that country.—(oh, oh.) If a foreigner in , this coetntry should be robbed of his property by pickpockets, accord ing to the doctrine laid down by , the Noble Lord., the Government of such foreigner's country would be bound to take the matter up, and call on the British Govern ment for redress.—(Oh, oh, and laughter.) And accord ing to that doctrine also, it' the judges in the courts of law in foreign countries should decide apainst British subjects, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in this country would be at liberty and bound to take the matter up.—(Renewed cries of "Oh ob.") That doctrine was appreciated by all despotic countries, and if carried out, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs would become the chief policeman to enforce it, and in truth the Noble Lord, in the c•enclu sion of his speech, had said that a British subject sbould be protected—(Hear, hear)—and referred, in support of that policy, to the declaration of a Roman whenever in jury was inflicted on him. Civis Bowmen suns—" lam a Roman citizen." Why Rome, at the period of history to which the Noble Lord had referred, was mistress of the world, and trampled on the rights of all opposed to her. He (Sir William Molesworth) maintained that if Englishmen chose to go wandering in foreign countries wherever pleasure or business may lead them, they must take the consequences if anything occur to them in those countries, and the more despotic the country to. which they may go, the less should they look to their own country to aid them.—(Oh, oh.) With regard to the in terference of this country with the affairs of other coup' tries, the Noble Lord had made use of the same lan' guage made use of by the Hon. Member for S:heffiele in his motion, and Spain, Greece, Switzerland, Rome. Sicily, and other countries, had experienced tb e coo' sequenceseof the Noble Lord's interference. The Hoe. and Learned Gentleman had said that all that wa a g ood in many of those states, they bad chiefly received England, and that she was justified in interferin g where she considered there was anything wrong; and t h HO' and Learned Gentleman in his statements had all sorts of motives to Austria and Russia. It I said that the Noble Lord only wished to props principles in other countries by " moral" influenc, that had been said by the leaders of the first Free vplution. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, is ing of France and this country, had said that countries should feel towards each other as Let viduala. He agreed in that sentiment, bat he et that one nation had no more right to interfee private and internal affairs of another natl. , one man bad to interfere in the private a. another. Those tronsactions of " officious mset were very dangerous, and that was pi their character among the nations of thee He was told that they ought to vote in favour motion of the Hon. Member for Sheffield, for Majesty's Ministers would "go out" if not v ported, and the consequence would be, as there Liberal Members to take the Government and places, the Tories would come into office, an event would lead to revolution and the destruction perty.—(Hear.) Suppose her Majesty's Minise to go out of office—and he, for one, should be v , to see them go out of office, because he had bt. was still, a supporter of much of their police: — not apprehend that the coming in of the Torte, be followed by revolution and the destruction perty.—(Heer, hear, from the Opposstion.) Bt said, if there would be a "dissolution" of Part and why not?—(Hear and laughter.) He, and those with whom he acted were for " triennial liaments—(Hear, hear)—and three years of the Parliament had already expired.—(Hear, and ter.) And it was also said that some of thet "lose their seats," and why not?—(Hear, het laughter.) Why, that would but prove that the not the representatives of the people.—(Hear, He would refer them to the Reform Bill, and in sion he would refer them their institutions, am express his belief that it was a calumny to say Member would vote against his conscience.

Mr. SIIAFTO ADAIR contended that Brii jects residing abroad were fully entitled to the si tection that they would enjoy at the bands of thi Government when living in England. He admi e circumstah non-interference was the rule, nut circu mstance , a culpable, " his and opinion,thos render n. feris e r en ce which highly would, occurred in connexion with the polic y of the Ns nister for Foreign Affairs, which it was now at to censure by a vote of the House of Common: arguments used in the attempted justification of of censure were those which had been already dieted and exposed. If he thought that English tituted her power for purposes of oppression, n , friendship for the Minister engaged in such .—no consideration of party would induce him his assent to that system of policy—no atte personal or otherwise, would persuade him to silent vote on such an occasion; but because not consider that the foreign, policy of her /$ ll Government was deserving of reprobation h i forward to support it firmly and deter Ile eel ild trace the operation cf that policy tbr , the world, with advantage not only to British but for mankind generally, and he trusted it long persevered in.

He objected to the manner in which this ques tion had been dealt with by Honourable Gentlemen op posite. It was not fair for them to say it was "all nisi prius" when the Greek affair was grappled with " let us come to the main issue, and inquire what the foreign policy of the Government generally bee been." This was the course which had been followed not only by the Right Honourable Member for Wil shire, but by the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford, who must now be taken as the representative of Lord Stanley in that House—(Cheers) —who threw over the Greek que,- tion and took his stand upon the foreign policy. The latter Right Hon. Gentleman, however, seemed to have thrown over the foreign policy and taken the Grecian or nisi prius part of the subject. Now be must protest against this mode of conducting the case for the prose cution, if he might be allowed to use that figure; the gruund ought not to be shifted in this manner; let it be confined to either one or the other, and the supporters of the Government would undertake to de molish both the facts and law of the case most com pletely.—(Hear, hear, and Laughter.) Now, the case resolved itself into two points —namely, the interference with the affairs of Greece, and the policy which Government had pursued with reference to the rest of Europe.—(flear, hear.) Now, the Government in terfered with the affairs of Greece for the purpose of redressing certain wrongs which had been sustained by subjects of this empire, and the question for them to decide was whether they were justified in so doing. Now, he asserted that, inasmuch as it was impossible to dispute in this instance that these subjects of her Majesty had not sustained wrong, they were unques tionably entitled to redress from the Government of the country in which they happened to be at the time they sustained the wrongs, or if the Government of the country was not in a condition to see them re dressed, then it was not only the right but the bounden duty of the Government to interfere, and see its subjects righted.—(Cheers.) That was the principle which was acted upon by the Romans, and had universally pre all over the world ever since. Amidst all the dark shadows that surrounded the name of Cromwell, what was it that made his character so much respected, but that the fact that he would never suffer an Englishman to be injured by any other potentate. — (Cheers.) But the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member tor the University said that . Rome never exercised such a principle till _she became mistress of the world ; but he denied that assertion From her earliest days, and long before she exercised universal dominion over the world, she fought for and enforced this principle.—(Cheers.) But, said the Right Hon. Gentleman, a Government had no right to put In force those measures until the tribunals of the country where the wrong was committed had been resorted to and redress refnsed. Well, he accepted that proposition, but he ventured to assert that in neither of the cases in ques tion, was there the slightest possible chance of her Ma jesty's subjects who:had sustained wrongs, obtaining any redress in the tribunals of Greece.—(Cheers.) Tako for instance, the first case of Mr. Finlay, which lay in a nut-shell. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Mr. Finlay had property in land at Athens, and he was desirous, when King Otho was elected sovereign, to iu duce him to remove the government to Athens. Au offer was made by the proprietors of land in Athens, and Mr. Finlay among the rest, to give their land ou certain terms, in order to its being made applicable to the Government residing at Athens ; but that offer was coupled with the provision that the land was to be set out in six months. The Government did come to Athens. The land of many of those indi viduals was taken for the rection of public buiidings, but Mr. Finlay's land was not taken. The land taken in that way was taken for the price which the parties had agreed to take; but Mr. Finlay's land was taken by the arbitrary command of the King, without law, without or dinance, and without anything whatever to sanction it except the arbitrary will of the Sovereign. Now, that was a matter of fact which he (Mr. Cockburn) de fied any man to deny. Mr. Finlay applied for compen sation in 1836, and up to 1842 he continued to put for ward civilly his demand for compensation, but he could not get one single farthing.—(Hear, hear.) When Lord Aberdeen was at the °fad of foreign affairs he instructed Sir E. Lyons to apply to the Greek Government for com pensation on behalf of Mr. Finlay, and to enforce by all the legitimate means in his power that demand. The King appointed a fresh Commission, with M. Glarkis; and who was M. Glarkis? Ile was one of the Ministers of the King, remarkable, according to Sir Edward Cod rington, as a Minister who made himself notorious for festering and encouraging violence, of course Mr. Finlay objected to such a Commission. No redress could still be obtained. In 1835 that Commission was proposed, and Mr. Finlay would have nothing to do with it. He then applied to the Government here, and the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) having enquired into the mat ter, instructed Sir E. Lyons again to enforce this claim. The King proposed another commission, which ended, after all those years of delay, trickery, and chicanery on the part of the Greek Government, in an offer of arbi• tration on their part. It was the Government that asked for delay in order to obtain fur• ther papers. (Cheers.) Talk of nisi prius! Why at misi prizes, whatever opinion might exist on the law, they held it a sacred duty as to the facts that they wore not to be distorted.—(Loud cheers.) The 'Right Hon. Gentleman said Mr. Finlay might have gone to to the tribunals of the couutry. It was said " a little learning is a dangerous thing ;" and above all, that was so with respect to law. All the Right Hon. Gentleman wanted was a little law, and if he had not been so great a statesman, ho perhaps might have condescended to put on the wig and gown—(A laugh)—but however skilful a statesman and casuist the Right Hon. Gentleman was, he (Mr. Cockburn) would advise him on all occasions not to meddle with law. Talk of Mr. Finlay going to the tribunals. Was the Right Honourable Gentleman ignorant of the principle of law which said that none could sue a Sovereign? that was an estab lished principle in every country in Europe with, perhaps, the solitary exception of our own ; and that exception took place simply in the magnanimous practice which prevailed when a subject petitioned her Majesty, wherein her Majesty ordered her first law offi cer of the Crown to indorse on that petition the solemn words, " Let right be done." Thus was jus tice always administered between herself and her subject before the ordinary tribunals of the land.—(Cheers.) And thank God that they had those tribunals, and that they had judges who would administer the law between sovereign and subject with a hand as impartial and even, as if it were between two ordinary persons. Was that the case in Greece? No. Let them listen to Mr. Finley's letter upon the possi bility of sueing the Greek tribunals. That gentleman ridiculed the idea of obtaining any redress from the Greek Government in that way; and at the time when he declared the impossibility of such a thing Lord Aberdeen was in office.—(Hear, hear.) Well, then, the Right Honourable Gentleman had read that letter (LEFT SPEAKING.)

It is our painful duty to announce that a cowardly at tack was yesterday made upon her Most Gracious Ma jesty the Queen by a man who until within the last four years held a commission in her Majesty's service. About twenty minutes after six o'clock last evening her Majesty, accompanied by three ef the Royal children and Viscountess Jocelyn, Lady in Waiting, left Cam bridge-house, Piccadilly, where her Majesty had been calling to inquire after the health of her illustrious uncle. A crowd had assembled without the court-yard gates to witness her Majesty's departure, and as the royal carriage passed out of the gates a person respect ably dressed, and about six feet two inches high, ad vanced two or three paces, and with a small black cane, which he held its his hand, struck a sharp blow at the Queen. The blow took effect upon the upper part of her Majesty's forehead, and upon her bonnet, which be ing of a light texture was driven in by its force. The act was witnessed by a great many persons, and a rush being made the delinquent was instantly seized. Mr. James Summers, in the employ of Messrs. Ordway, 159, Piccadilly, was the first to collar him, but several others hurried forward at the same moment, and one person, unable to restrain his resentment, dealt the man a blow in the face which drew blood at once. But for the timely arrival of the police, he would have been still more roughly handled. Sergeant Silver, of the C divi sion, took him into custody, and conveyed him at once to the Vine-street station. Her Majesty betrayed no feeling of alarm, and imme diately after the occurrence drove up Piccadilly, on her return to Buckingham Palace. the spectators cheering her loudly as she passed along—a mark of loyalty and affection which her complete self-possession enabled her to acknowledge with her usual courtesy and conde- scension. When the prisoner was brought to Vine-street sta tion, Inspector Whall, the officer on duty, received the charge. On being asked his name, he replied, without hesitation, " Robert Pate," describing himself as a re tired lieutenant of the 10th Hussars, and adding that he resided at No. 27, Duke-street, St. James's. The evi dence of Mr. Summers, and various other witnesses, having been taken, the prisoner was asked what he had to say to the charge. Fie replied that it was true ho had struck her Majesty with a thin stick, but he added em phatically, in allusion to the witnesses, " those men can. not prove whether I struck her head or her bonnct.'i The prisoner was then conducted to one of the police cells, the charge being entered upon the police-sheet as follows:—" Robert Pate, aged 43, retired lieutenant, charged with assaulting her Majesty the Queen by strik ing her on the head with a cane, in Piccadilly, at 6 20 P.M. on Thursday the 27th inst. The names of the witnesses are as follows: James Summers, of 9, James-street, Oxford-street, in the employ of Messrs. Ordway, of Piccadilly. Charles William Doherty, Lieutenant 2d Battalion I Rifle Brigade, of 10, Duke-street, St. James's. Daniel Farrar, of 3, Barron-street, Pentonville, car- penter. Samuel Cor. , ling, 8, Norwich-court, Fetter•lane, bookceller. _ _ _William Gower, 43, White Lion-street, Pentonville, builder. William Phillips, 8, Euston-mews, Easton•• square, porter. Thomas Harrison, 42, Union-street, Eagle-road, City road, cabdriver, badge 4,617. On being searched, there were found upon the pri soner two keys and a pocket-handkerchit f. No money or weapon of any kind was discovered. It may be well to state that the small stick with which the prisoner struck the blow was not thicker than an or dinary goosequill—that it measured only two feet two inches in length and weighed less than three ounces. Of coarse such a weapon as this could not tinder any circumstances occasion very serious injury, and her Majesty's appearance within two hours in the royal box at the Covent-garden Italian Opera proves beyond all possibility of doubt that she has not sustained much injury. After the prisoner had been placed in a cell, Mr. Ot way, the newly-appointed superintendent of the C divi sion, dispatched Mr. Inspector Field, the chief officer of the detective force, to search his lodgings. Mr. Field there ascertained that the prisoner had lodged on the third floor (an elegant suite of apartments) of 27, Duke street, during the last two years and a half ; that be was a man of regular habits, and paid his bills with great punctuality. His father was described to be a man of large property at Wisbeach, where he formerly carried on business as an extensive corn factor. A large number of papers and documents were seized by Mr. Field, but nothing has yet been discovered which could by possibility explain the motive of the rash act. It is a curious coincidence that Sergeant Silver, who took the prisoner into custody, is the same officer who apprehended M'Naghten, and knocked the pistol out of his hand as he was about to fire a second shot at the unfortunate Mr. Drummond. A reference to "Hart's Army List" shows that the prisoner entered her Majesty's service as a cornet, by purchase, in the 10th Hussars, on the sth of February, 1841. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on the 22d of July, 1842, and retired, by sale of his com mission, a short time previously to the embarkation of the regiment for India in 1846. The prisoner is a respectable looking man and slightly bald. He wears mustscheos, but has not a very military appearance. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 13 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex- change of 25.47; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.50, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamborgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101; and the ex change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.9 k, it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh that in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of Eng land, and after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. SINGULAR ATTACK AND DEFENCE.—Last week the wife of James Garth, farmer, of Whitfield Hays, near Rochdale, went into a I eld and was there attacked by a cow, and had her arm broken in two places, besides receiving bruises in different parts of her body. Another cow in the same pasture immediately came to Mrs. Girth's rescue. drove away Mrs. Garth's tormentor into the middle of the field, and then returned to Mrs. Garth, licked the blood from ber wound, and stood over her as a protectress till assistance was rendered.—Manchester Guardian. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 27. ABOLITION OF THE OFFICE OF LORD-LIEU- TENANT OF IRELAND. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY (in continuation from our Third Edition of last night) said—Besides it was said that her Majesty was not so tond of the sea now as she was at the period when she visited Ireland. Nor, considering her Majesty's situation as regarded the nursery—(Laughter)—was it either likely or desirable that she should be asked to cross the Irish Channel so often as it had been indicated she would after the aboli tion of the viceroyalty. Compensation to the people of Ireland for the abolition of the viceregal court had been talked of, but he should like to know the nature of that compensation. He understood it had never been even talked of in the Cabinet. The effect of the abolition on the city of Dublin would be most disastrous; it would become a city of desolation, its inhabitants would be ruined, and ere long grass would grow in its streets. The Government had not dared to bring forward such a proposition while Mr. O'Connell was alive, because they knew he would have roused the whole people of Ireland against such an outrage.—(Hear, hear.) They waited till he had been called from hence, and then, in the midet of the severest misery and distress which had ever afflicted that country, they brought in a measure which would complete her destruction. It was said that this was but a trifle, but if one stone of a decaying building was removed the rest would soon follow. The Govern ment now wanted to abstract the Lord-Lieutenancy, and if they were suffered to do that they would next abolish the Commander-in-Chiefship, and then the Four Courts would follow. :At all events he hoped the Government would see the neces sity of appointing a Commission to inquire into the subject before deciding on so important a measure. The question having been put, Lord BROUGHAM said, as that question would come before them in a tangible shape.hereafter, he would not then enter into the details of the question, which was a very important one. There were many parts in the speech of his Noble Friend with which l.e agreed. The powers of patronage vested in the Lord-Lieutenant were not such as he ought to possess. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the Noble Marquis having had an opportunity of bringing forward the eubject to which his notice referred, and as the Bill on that subject would soon be before their Lordships, he hoped the Noble Marquis would not press his resolutions. The Noble Marquis then referred to several authorities to show that it had been considered one of the inevit able consequences of the union that the office of Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland should be abolished; but it was essential under such circumstances that some person should be responsible for the administration of Irish affairs. The Duke of WELLINGTON was not disposed to go into the discussion raised by his Noble Friend, and particularly as the Bill on the subject would soon come under their Lordships' consideration. But he did hope that the Government would consider well, and inquire into all the proper results and consequences of the step they were about to take.—(Hear, hear.) If they looked back to the history of Ireland for the last 50 years— nay, for the last 10 years—they would there see a conti nued series of military operations going on; and, accord ing to the constitution cf this empire, such could only take place under the civil power. During the last ten years he had much communication with Ireland with respect to military operations, and it was principally with the Lord Lieutenant he had had such commu nication, and also with the Commander-in-Chief. He had held such communications with his Noble Friend Earl de Grey on the question of the monster meetings. Then there were, more recently still, other operations to be carried out against parties who adopted the usual course of modern revolutionists, viz., that of publishing their designs. If there were not some such chief officer, he would ask with whom be could communicate on such a matter?—(Hear, hear.) Was it with the chief authorities indifferent parts of the country? Was he to have applied to the Lord Mayor of Dublin on the subject of those military operations to which he had referred?—(Hear, hear.) After these monster meetings, also, in attending her Majesty's Court, he had seen Mr. O'Connell and his suite presented to her Majesty as Lord Mayor of Dublin. What officer would undertake to discuss military operations with the Lord Mayor who had preceded Mr. O'Connell?—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) If he had to communicate with the Com mander of the Forces for the preservation of the city of Dublin on a recent occasion, and there being no Lord- Lieutenant, would he not be likely to say, "Adopt such and such precautionary measures; but be sure you take care that the Lord Mayor and corporation know nothing about the matter."—(Hear,and much laughter.) There had been some military operations in the neigh bourhood of Kilkenny. Who was the mayor of that city? Why a Dr. Kane, who, when the military opera tions were over, had been himself imprisoned under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act.—(Hear, hear, and re newed laughter.) And yet these were the gentlemen who would have to be consulted in the absence of the Lord-Lieutenant.—(Hear, hear.) He would recommend his Noble Friend, however, not to press his resolutions at present, although he fully thought it was dangerous to remove such au authority from a country in a con tinued state of disturbance like Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Earl GREY said he thought it was the general under standing of their Lordships that it would be more conve nient to discuss that important question when the sub ject came regularly before them. He hoped, however, to be permitted to explain in a few words the views of the Government. There was no doubt, as stated by the Noble Duke, that military force in this country could not be brought into operation except under the civil power. There had been disturbances frequently in the manufacturing districts in this country and Scotland, and they had been suppressed by the ordinary co-operation of the civil and military authorities. With respect to the appointment of resident Secretary in Ire land, that of course should form some of the details which would be for their future consideration. The Go vernment were fully impressed with the necessity of giving the most serious and deliberate attention to that important measure in all its details. Earl FITZ WILLIAM did not see much chance of a Bill which had not yet gone into Committee in the House of Commons coming before their Lordships in time for sufficiently mature deliberation during the present ses sion. Although he was understood to agree with a good deal of what the Noble Marquis had said, he would not vote for his resolutions at present, but recommended their withdrawal. Lord MONTE AGLE said, if that proposition tended to weaken the Government or the law in Ireland, he agreed that it ought not to pass; but it became a matter for them seriously to consider whether such in reality would be the effect of the measure. He called upon them, however, not to hand over toe government of Ireland to a few small public bodies there, who might be in communication with Downing street.—(Hear.) There was a Bill then on their Lord ships' table which had silently arrived at the stage of third reading, yet i❑ every stage of its provisions the sanction of the Lord-Lieutenant was required.—(Hear). The Earl of RODEN said there were many in Ire land who would agree to that measure cheerfully if it tended to promote and consolidate a more perfect union between the two countries. But if it were not made a complete measure, the office ought not to be touched at all. The Earl of GLENGALL asked whether the aboli tion of the office of Lord-Lieutenant would not weaken the Executive Government? He referred to the insur rection of 1803, and wished to know how such an emer gency (and it might again occur) would be met, if there was no Viceroy on the spot, to consult and take mea sures for the public safety? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, having briefly replied, consented to withdraw all his resolutions. The Drainage and Improvemelt of Lands Bill passed through Committee. The Titles of Religious Congregatione Bill was read a third time and passed. ACCOMMODATION TO FOREIGN MINISTERS DURING DEBATES. The Marquis of L'INBDOWNE moved the consider ation of the report of the Committee upon the above sub ject.. In doing so, he said it was unnecessary for him to recapitulate all the arguments which had been used on a former occasion on that subject. The Committee had reported that another gallery be added near the strangers' gallery to that of the peers, for the accommo dation of such personages. Although it was the wish to afford every accommodation possible, it was necessary that the Houss should retain in its own hands the power of making such regulations as it thought fit. The pro posed arrangement was, therefore, entered into until other arrangements might be made. The Duke of WELLINGTON concurred in the ob servations of the Noble Marquis that the House ought to retain in its own hands the power of regulating its own standing orders. The report was, after a short conversation, understood to be agreed to, to theeffect that the lower end of the peers' gallery was to be added to a portion of the strangers' gallery, to afford accommodation to the members of the diplomatic corps. Some Bills on the table were then advanced a stage. CRIME AND OUTRAGES (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE, on moving the third reading of the Crime and Outrages (Ireland) Bill, ob served that his Noble Friend the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland had said that if he had such a measure as that to administer he could dispense with the Arms Bill altogether. Their Lordships then adjourned, at Ten minutes past Eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 27. AFFAIRS OF GREECE—ADJOURNED DEBATE. (Continued from our Third Edition of last night.) After some further observations from Sir J. WALSH, Sir HARRY VERNER said that the speech of the Noble Lord would be attended with a beneficial effect to British interests throughout the world. Englishmen would find themselves entitled to claim justice at the hands of foreign nations, and protected while they did well by the vigilant eye and strong arm of their own government.—(Hear, hear.) Now with regard to his policy with respect to Greece. The poor young King found himself powerless to suppress the turbulence which prevailed in that country. The government was in the hands of a set of unprincipled men, who thought of nothing but how they might keep themselves in power. From correspondence which he had in his pos session, it appeared that the Noble Lord had been long and constantly solicited to take the Greeks in hand. Greece had been weak, and other countries had profited by that weakness. The Noble Lord had accepted the good offices of France, but the diplomatist employed had not truly and fairly carried out his in structions. The Ambassador of France in this country, M. Drouyn de l'Huys, had so far as was known, acted an honourable part. lip had stated that he lamented having spent five hours with the Noble Lord, and been unable to bend him from his purpose. Now, why did not the Noble Lord bend from his purpose? Simply because be thought that by doing so, he would not be upholding the honour and dignity of the country. The policy of the Noble Lord certainly did not suffer by comparison with Lord Aber deen. The conduct of the latter in Rio de la Plate was not fortunate. He rejoiced that this bold and general vote of approbation had been proposed by the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield. The conduct of the Noble Lord was most worthy, and not deserving of the censures heaped upon him. He had eminently served the best interest of the country. He thought they ware called upon to affirm a great principle in their diplo matic affairs—that foreign nations should not have the power to displace our Minister, and that Englishmen should be protected abroad. He should cheerfully vote for the resolution, feeling that the honour and interests of this country abroad were safe in the hands of the Noble Lord.—(Hear.) Sir R. H. ;NGLIS said the question at issue was not immediately respecting Greece, nor any particular trans action relative to that country, and therefore in his opi nion if the motion of the Hon. Member for Youghal bad been brought on he believed he would then understand what was the real question. Ho dissented from the proposition of the lion, and Learned Gentleman the Member for Sheffield (Mr. Roebuck), who wished by his motion to obtain from that House a vote of confidence in favour of the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston), in which he did not by any means agree, for he did not consider that the conduct of the Government, and more especially of the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston), was worthy of the approbation and confidence of the House. He again considered that the house of Lords were legitimately exercising their functions in examining into the con duct of any Minister, and that such a course was open to them as well as to the House of Commons and he could not avoid expressing his astonishment that the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell), who held at his com mand the authority of the Crown and of that House, should have expressed himself with respect to the House of Lords in the manner that he had done. If it were a money Bill, he would fully concur with the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) that the House of Lords should onot interfere, but on such a subject as the p resent, c hell. i sidered that both Houses had a ju st ri g ht to give e opinion. He should say that while the Noble Lord had given his support to free opinions in Sardinia, h() did not support the principle of the P rotestant religion in se veral other places. He meant to say that in Tuscany, and even in Sardinia, the syst em of proselytism wa s nut admitted; arid to what was the expulsion of those Pre tebtants who exerted themselves to instruct the people of those countries attributable, but to the apathy of the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston), in conjunction with the Government with which he was connected. Th e re was ono circumstance that he was - glad to have it in his power to state—namely, that the 'MWA ,k 7 I I I I t IA
