On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person "oder the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist.

In ordinary Life Offices he can do no POI thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any hind to ily to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes servo to benefit the pockets of his *tore fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be Universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of Interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor ix caSeof death, thus combining the ADYANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF ♦N ASSURANCE COMPANY.

QIGNS of the TIMES—not the " Daily Times " or the " Sunday Times," but the black and white rain and snow sort of " times," provoking the skater's wrath by broken sheets •f ice, freezing for every one to contemplate, unless they are habited in warm, firm, and comfortable attire, which, for these "times," should also be waterproof. Their being at this season many counterfeits, it is no way improper to describe the features of the genuine article. It should be made of first•rate materials, combining firmness, strength, and superior finish—it should be cut on principles which secure a correct fit, which cause the garments to fall in a graceful manner from the person of the wearer—it should display workmanship which cannot fail, and such as only a thoroughly artistic establishment can exhibit. The Dress to measure or ready made, presented by E. MOSES and SON, possesses all these qualities on the most command ing aspects, and is charged considerably lower prices than at any other house. Its variety affords the amplest choice for Gentlemen or Mechanics, for Sportsmen or Juveniles, on the same terms. Hats and Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., of the best, most fashion able, and serviceable character, may be had at E. MOSES and SON'S Establishment or its Branches, for very small outlays. EMIGRATION. Many impositions being practised by persons professing to befriend Emigrants, it becomes imperative that all parties intending to emi grate should purchase all goods required at the well-known and long tried Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. Every article required may be inspected previous to being bought, and being marked in plain figures, at a very low prlee, affords every opportunity of making a suitable and economical selection. A distinct department is kept for Outfitting and Ship sailing information, with full lists of Outfits for ladies and gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free, to any part of the kingdom. _ . CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they hays No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSB IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, 3, Hart-street, all communicating. Bradford (Yorkshire) Branch, 19 and 20, Bridge-street. Sheffield Branch, 36, Farzate. Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and General Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen. IMPORTANT.—ShouId any article not give satisfaction, it will be exchanged if desired, or, if preferred, the money will be returned without hesitation. All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which ne abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock. A. new Book, entitled " The World's Pharos," containing the Emigramt's Assistant, full list of prices, and directions for self-a mea- surement, may be had on applicat ion, or p ost•free, to any part the kingdom.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON TIIE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, Z 7, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all states of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfur Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, bow these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con , equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct a ttention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply re' arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated pu blications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills wonderfully efficacious in curing a Scorbutic Eruption of Ten Years' Standing.—Mr. Mackridge, ships' store dealer, of Price's-street, Liverpool, was afflicted for upwards of 10 years with a violent scorbutic affection in the hand, which gave him so much pain and agony that his bodily health became seriously affected. During this period he had the advice of several eminent practitioners, but without obtaining the slightest relief. He then pur chased, of Mr. Thompson, chemist, Stanhope-street, Liverpool, some of Holloway's ointment and pills, which, by perseverance in their use, very shortly cured the disease, and restored him to perfect health and strength.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol loway's Establishment, 20, Strand, London. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, friendly and neighbouring States to which we are bound by international law. If, indeed, it were possible that the law of this country disabled us from performing those duties of paramount obligation, then, indeed, it might be necessary to consider the subject ; but as I trust— and I am now confirmed by my noble and learned friend —that this is not the case, I hope that we shall be able to do all that foreign powers have a right to require, without having recourse to any extraordinary reme di es of this kind. My lords, if it could be supposed possible that the Government of this country, or that the people of this country, had any connivance with, or were even indifferent to the perpetration of the acts which have been alluded to, then, indeed, a greater degree of hosti lity would be justified than any that has been hitherto shown towards us. I speak not only of the atrocious attempt on the life of the illustrious prince, the hope of his family, whose danger has revived all that ancient loyalty and devoted attachment which has been so long the possession of his family, but also of the recent out break at Milan, where a few desperate men have taken and put to death some sentries at their post, and other isolated individuals. These men may call themselves patriots, but they are merely assassins in disguise. My lords, I think that any powers such as are supposed to be necessary for the Government of this country to possess would really be injurious to the tranquillity and peace of this country. (Hear.) If such a law as that to which I have alluded to should exist, it must either be on the supposition that discretion would be exercised and inquiry instituted in every case before the law was carried into effect ; this would naturally lead to differ ences of opinion between the State complaining and our selves, as to the amount of proof required, and might thereby lead to very serious differences between us ; on the other hand, the only alternative would be a gene ral acquiescence in any such demands, and that would be a state of degradation to which it would be impossi for us to submit. (Hear.) But I trust that if foreign Governments are persuaded, not only that the Govern ment but the people of this laud with any such abominable attempts as those to which my noble and learned friend has alluded, they will be dis posed to trust in the good faith, in the sincerity, and in the honesty of the attempts of the Government to put that law into effect which we consider to be sufficient for the purpose. (Hear.) My noble and learned friend has alluded to the duty of the Government to take the initi ative in these proceedings, and to institute prosecutions upon them. Now, I have the satisfaction of informing my noble and learned friend that the Government have already come to that decision, in case of any such events occurring as to give fresh ground of complaint--(hear)— not to throw upon the foreign minister the burden of instituting such a prosecution, but when a case is made out sufficient to justify a proper legal proceeding against any party so implicated, that the Government will take it upon themselves to carry on such prosecution. Foreign powers have already been informed of that determina tion. (Hear.) Ido not know that I need say anything more on this subject. Lamenting, as we all must do, the existence of any cause which should produce aliena tion and estrangement between powers which have been long and intimately connected, I do trust that the as surance we have given and are prepared to act upon may be sufficient to allay the alarm which has prevailed upon this subject. (Hear.) Lord BROUGHAM said that he could not avoid adding a few observations to those which his noble and learned (Lord Lyndhurst) had made, as the subject was one of extreme importance, not only in a constitutional sense, but with a view to the great interests of the peace of this country, and of other countries. In respect of the law as stated by his noble and learned friend, it would be presumptuous in him (Lord Brougham) even to accept his challenge by confirming it by his testimony. The authority of his noble and learned friend—greater than his (Lord Brougham's), or than that of any person in that house— was amply sufficient, and he would venture to say that there was no lawyer in Westminster-hall who entertained HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at five o'cclock. Lord CLANCARTY presented a great number of petitions against the admission of Jews into Parliament ; also a number of petitions against the Maynooth grant; also praying fot the supervision of convents. The Duke of ARGYLL presented a petition from the Isle of Skye against the religious tests imposed on pro fessers at Scotch Universities. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Den bigh praying for the extension of county courts' juris diction ; also from Portsmouth and Portsea praying for Parliamentary papers. FOREIGN REFUGEES. Lord LYNDHURST—I rise to occupy for a few moments the attention of noble lords opposite upon a subject in which I presume they feel a deep interest. It is matter of public notoriety that great irritation pre vails in the capital of the Austrian dominions, and throughout the whole of that country, against the people and Government of England. So far has it been carried that I understand the Austrian Government have thought it right to appoint a police force to protect the residence and person of our ambassador from insult and attack. Although from recent circumstances that ,irritation has been greatly increased --I allude to those painful and deplorable events that have lately occurred—yet the irritation owes its origin, no doubt, to the asylum which we have afforded to foreign refugees, and the manner in which they have been allowed to abuse the protection which has been afforded to them by this coun try. Their conduct in thiraspect, as everybody feels, has been most scandalous ; skid an impression has gone abroad, and I believe the opinion is entertained by those to whom I refer, that there are no means in this country adapted for the purpose of punishing them. If that were really the case, it would be incumbent on the Govern ment of this country to consider whether it would not be proper to introduce some law on that subject; but I do not think so ill of the commo n law of this country . as to suppose that it passes by offences of this descrip tion without providing the means of punishing them, My lords, I feel it to be my duty to state my opinion on this subject, which I do with great deference in the pre sence of noble and learned lords who will correct me if I am erroneous in what I state. I will first put the case of British subjects. If a number of British subjects were to combine and to conspire together to excite revolt amongst the inhabitants of a friendly state, of a state united in alliance with us, and in pursuance of that con spiracy were to issue manifestoes and proclamations for the purpose of carrying that object into effect ; above all, if they were to subscribe money for the purpose of purchasing arms to give effect to that intended enterprise, I conceive, and I state it with confidence, that such persons would be guilty of a misdemeanour, and would be liable to severe punishment by the laws of this country, inasmuch as their conduct tends to embroil the two countries, to lead to remon strance and expostulation, and might ultimately lead to war. I think my noble and learned friends who are assembled here, and who perform so important a part in the deliberations of this house „will not dissent from the opinion which I have expressed. Now, as to foreigners. Foreigners residing in this country, so long as they re side here under the protection of this country, are con sidered in the light of British subjects, or rather as the subjects of her Majesty, and are liable to the criminal law in the same manner, to the same extent, and under the same conditions, as the subjects of this country. And in a case of this kind, where persons come here as refugees from a foreign state in consequence of political acts which they have committed, they are bound upon every principle of gratitude to conduct themselves with propriety, and I say these circumstances tend greatly to aggravate their offence, and no one can doubt that they are liable to severe punishment. I will put it in another shape. The offence of endeavouring to excite revolt amongst the inhabitants of a neighbouring state is an offence against the law of nations, and no writer states otherwise. But the law of nations, according to the decision of one of our greatest judges, is part of the law t o hf eoffence England. In a tt r ib e u ed say n attributed dto these more e se individuals,a sto a n n a d t urc of their liability to punishment for offences of this description. But there is a question connected with this subject of considerable difficulty, and that relates to the evidence by which a party can be convicted. Here I admit that there is great difficulty—very serious difficulty. It is not sufficient that things should be notorious to all the world ; you must have such evidence in support of a particular charge as will be admissable before our tri bunals. For instance, proclamations have been dispersed throughout Lombardy—proclamations purporting to be issued from London. It would not be sufficient to pro duce these documents in a court of justice ; they would be no evidence in support of a °barge ; you must bring home the offence to the individual; you must show that those proclamations were issued by his instructions, and that they were issued from England ; and not only that they were issued from England, but that they were issued in consequence of some act committed by the person charged, authorising their issue. Now in illus tration of this, let me refer to a case which occurred within the last few days. A proclamation was found in great numbers—l believe in the city of Milan in Lom bardy—purporting to be signed by Kossuth. Accord ing to that document, you would infer that it had been issued in England ; and as that person has resided for a considerable time in this country, and is now resident here, it might be supposed by those who were not acquainted with our laws, that that would be sufficient to fix the act upon Kossuth. But what turns out to be the case ? Why, that this document was written two or three years ago, not in this country, but in the Turkish dominions ; it was sent by Kossuth to Mazzini, and was handed by him to other persons, who altered one or two passages in it, and then printed and published it in the name of Kossuth. That would be no evidence in this country that Kossuth had been guilty of any offence, or had issued any such pro clamation. I must remind foreigners—persons not ac quainted with the laws of our country—that we have a rule, which is not, I believe, acted upon in other coun tries, that when a party is charged with an offence, you cannot interrogate him as to that offence. It is an inflexible rule of English law, and even if the safety of the sovereign were at stake, you would not violate that law. (Hear, hear.) These are difficulties which inter fere with the bringing home charges of this description, where they are conducted with prudence and caution, against persons supposed to be guilty of them. I men tion this, therefore, as an excuse for the time being for not bringing those parties to justice. I cannot under take to say that there is sufficient evidence against those parties, but I will say that I think the Government ought to use great vigilance and great activity for the purpose of endeavouring to obtain evidence in order to convict parties guilty of those offences, and to restrain the commission of them for the future. I think, with all submission to noble lords opposite, that that is an imperative duty upon the Government for the time being. It appears, at least to foreigners, where no such vigilance and no such activity has been exercised by the Government, that they have been supine with respect to proceedings of this kind ; and the notion, however utterly unfounded it may be, becomes prevalent, that we are indifferent to such proceedings, and that we do not view them with displeasure. Nothing can be more unfounded than imputations of this description • how ever, honourable men will j o i n i n the opinion which I have expressed. (Hear, hear.) There is one point more to which with all submission I will call the attention of noble lords opposite. It is this. It is not sufficient for the Government to say to a foreign State, "Our courts are open to you ; obtain evidence of a crime having been commited, bring that offence into a court of justice, and justice will be done you." I say that is not a sufficient course for the Government to pursue. It is in my opinion, in cases of this kind, where foreign States are concerned, where an offence is committed not only against foreign States, but against our own Government —it is, in my opinion, the duty of our own Government to take the initiative —(hear, hear)—to institute prosecutions in its own name, and to obtain evidence of the transactions com plained of better than can be obtained by a foreign State, the more particularly as they h ave b etter means of obtaining evidence. (Hear, hear.) I have thought it my duty to make these observations preliminary to the question which lam about to ask—a question of great importance, and in which I have felt a deep in terest. I wish, therefore, to ask the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Aberdeen), whether any communications have passed between this country and the Government Austria, or any other European States, with respect to respect to the asylum afforded to foreign emigrants in this country, and the acts committed by the persons to whom I have referred ? (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ABERDEEN—My lords, in answer to the question which my noble and learned friend has put to me, I have to state that, although communications have taken place respecting foreign refugees in this country, no demand has been made either by the Go vernment of Austria, or by any other State of Europe. Ido not deny—l readily admit with my noble and I learned friend, that a considerable degree of excitement and irritation has prevailed, and does prevail, upon this , subject, no+ only at Vienna, but in other parts of Europe ; and I also must say, not only on the part of the Governments of Europe, but the feeling is shared by the people of those countries. My lords, I must confess that, connecting as they do certain atrocious and sanguinary acts of recent occurrence with the re sidence of those refugees in this country, the feeling is, perhaps, not unnatural, but they connect them as I be lieve very erroneously, and therefore I think and hope that the feeling will subside and be set at rest before long. My lords, I think it is right t o say th a t it is not the intention of her Majesty's Government to propose law for the adoption of Parliament upon this an y. new •is not I subject, and it because we hope and believe that the law of this country is s ufficient to enable us to discharge those duties to the shadow of a doubt that the law of this country, as it at present stood, was amply sufficient to visit with se vere punishment, not only all conspiracy such as his noble and learned friend had described, but lesser at tempts against the majesties or constitutions of foreign nations ; he meant even libels against the persons of those Sovereigns or authorities, which, by the law of this country, were offences against the Sovereign of this country and against the municipal law of England. Conspiracy might be tried and prosecuted here, although the place to which the conspiracy bore reference was a foreign country. They had had a remarkable instance some years ago, when a noble and much lamented friend of his had been actually put upon his trial, and tried at the sittings at Guildhall, for a conspiracy to do certain acts in a foreign country—in South America—the lo cality of the conspiracy being alleged to be in England. He (Lord Brougham) would step aside for a moment to remark, that a greater and more flagrant example of the evils of the system of grand juries without a public pro secutor he was hardly acquainted with than that very in stance, when that prosecution could not have taken place if a responsible public prosecutor had the charge of it. The law here was amplysulEcient to punish offenders who might conspire here to commit offences in Milan, Vienna, Berlin, or any in other foreign state. In the case of the King v. Peltier, the defendant was prosecuted, net by the French ambassador, but by an ex-officio information laid by the Attorney-General. Peltier was convicted of a libel on the Emperor Napoleon, then First Consul of France, during the peace, and was not only brought up for judgment by the accident of a war having broken out ; and he entertained considerable doubt whether that was a sufficient excuse for ,not calling the d e f en d an t up for judgment. The law, therefore, was quite suffi cient. But, as had been well observed by his noble and learned friend, it was the fact that was deficient, and not the law—the difficulty of getting evidence, the difficulty of finding the means of prosecuting to convic tion, without which a prosecution would do more harm than good to the parties who were anxious that a prose cution should take place. The consequence of such a prosecution was practically this : a long day's work in the Court, consisting in great part of an able and elo quent, and most powerful address to a jury, aggravating every topic contained in the libel, in offering all sorts of excuses in justification of the conspiracy charged ; and that went forth to mankind with greater force than the libel itself, with greater force than the rumour the conspiracy itself. It went forth with all the force of being a part as it were of a judicial proceeding, the speech of counsel being in the mind of the vulgar con founded with the proceeding itself. (Hear, hear.) And then came the difficulty of obtaining the verdict of a jury—sometimes the difficulty of making the jury give any verdict at all. In that case they were discharged ; and the prosecution fell to the ground. In the other case there would be a verdict, after all the abuse of the libel, and all the effects of the conspiracy had been ag gravated by counsel ; and the result of the whole was worse than if no verdict had been pronounced, or even than a verdict of acquittal. All those parties who ad vised prosecutions in such cases ought to look to the possible result , and all those who urged the prosecution ought to look at what they would get by such a pro ceeding. (Hear, hear.) He had taken the liberty of making these observations because they were practi cal, and it was only that quality which gave them any value. Another equally practical remark was called for by the statement of the noble earl at the head of the Government, and it was the only point which he had omitted to dwell upon. It was contended here that the law, as it at present stood, was sufficient. Our foreign friends and allies did not think so. They would fain in some places have an alteration His noble friend had given an answer on that point quite sufficient to show that no alteration could be hoped for by them at the present time. But what would be the possible result of any such alterations as that desired ? Nothing would satisfy them so much as some law which should enable the executive Government to drive from this country those unfortunate persons who for one rea son or another had taken refuge within the walls, as it were, of our general hospitality. He would not stop to disclaim on the part of their lordships and on the part of the people of England all participation in those atroci ous sentiments that had given rise to the late scandalous and revolting proceedings, which he scarcely knew whether most to reprobate—the successful attempt at Milan, or, God be thanked, the unsuccessful one at Vienna. (Hear.) This country with one voice would be ready to express the depth, and the extent, and the bitterness of their reprobation of such proceedings. But he would go further and say that he could not believe— that ho was bound in charity and in common justice to express his disbelief of the charge—that these unfortu nate refugees had been any parties to these atrocious events. But he would suppose for argument's sake, that which in point of fact he did not believe, that the refugees in this country had conspired to send assistance abroad, or even had been at the bottom of the attempted assassination ; he would suppose, which he could not in common charity and fairness and justice to these poor people, believe that they were not innocent of, having joined in a conspiracy or rebellion, and, still more, of having joined or set on a murderous assassin—the ques tion would be of a law, and the execution of that l aw , which should drive such persons from their refuge here to a far distant land. Suppose the Government had the power, under the Alien Act, of driving them out of the country. They could not go to the continent of Europe. I That was quite clear. The moment they were driven out of this country there would be no rest for the sole of their toot on the continent of Europe. They would be driven across the Atlantic. Would that put an end to conspiracy ? Would that put an end to the sending of succour to Europe, or the sending of assassins to Europe ? It would be the difference between fifteen days' sail and four or five days' sail, and then precisely the same risk would be encountered by these foreign princes and governments, if they run any risk. They would run just the same risk after a little, delay, and no difference could by possibility be made by the exist ence and execution of such a law in the p revent i on of these schemes, whether of murder or conspiracy.(Hear.) o He hoped these considerations would h ave their weight in high quarters, and that the p ar ti es interested would see that if they wished for such a change in the law and its execution, that it wo u ld h ave no kind practical of p effect. The subject w as one of paramount. i mortance, and he trusted that th e littl e di scussion which had taken noble e ar l, place, and, abo ve a ll, th e statement of the w have a decidedly beneficial effect, (gear.) They asked for an Indian council—an introduction of the Indian element into their Government. There was no one who had attended the committees on this subject biit would admit that so far from there being a lack of genius, power, intelligence, or high principle on the part of the civil servants in India, there was an abundance ; butigefsepately w it was not found that these gentle men belonged to the court of directors ; and he thought that if we confided such powers to the court of directors, the best we could do was to take some pains to insure the admission into it of the largest amount of talent, the greatest amount of experience, and the highest moral and intellectual culture that we could. All this should r have access to the court, and should be directed and turned to the public account both at home and abroad, as regarded the civil service, more especially the judicial service. The Lord Chief Justice of England had stated that from his own experience in connection with the ju dicial committee before which the subject of Indian tri bunals were brought, nothing could be more discredit. able than the administration of Indian affairs was shown to be. It would be a wonder if it were otherwise. There was no specific education for those who enjoyed this trust ; and it was uniformly found that of those more distinguished students who went out from Haileybury, the first and best took to other departments ; the least informed, the least promising, the worst, in one sense, were sent to be the future judges of India ; and that was not becoming, surely—that was not the way in which the law should be administered—to select for the judicial department, by an ingenious misapplication of choice, exactly those who were the least fit for the posts to which they were appointed. The inferior judges were natives, and it could not. be denied that their decisions had more weight than those of their superior. That was proved by the fact that when both classes of decision came before a common court of appeal, the Indian were more supported than the European. There was no question that, as regarded the natives, it would be the proper course to advance them as they showed their qualifications and abilities in in ferior offices ; and to this was no answer to say that you would not do so in the army service. He did not wish to see natives at the head of the army, but what ex cluded them from one cffice did by no means necessarily exclude them from another. He hoped that this peti tion would be referred to a committee of that house, and investigated, not as a matter of form, but as a matter of truth. He hoped that as much attention would be paid to it, distant though the petitioners were, as if it came from the multitudes in the manufacturing districts. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not mean to deny that Lord TRURO, who spoke with his back to the gallery, was understood to say that one of the most important points was the desire on the part of foreign Governments that the English Government should endeavour to pro cure the passing of some new law on this subject. Now, it was quite clear that if the old law was sufficient a new one would not be desirable. But in what respect could a new law be framed that would be observed ? The difficulty was in the procuring of evidence to sustain a prosecution. Would an alien law have any such effect ? Not in the slightest degree. His noble and learned friend had stated most correctly that it was the duty of the British Government to do everything in their power to prevent that course of conduct which had been pursued, and he would venture to say that during the short time he had the honour of being connected with the Government no pains were spared, but every effort was made to detect and punish such parties. If the Govern ment had made an attempt to prove a case, and had not been able to do so, what would have been the conse quence ? Just what his noble and learned friend had stated. Such a proceeding would have done infinite harm for it would have shown the parties how far they could go without being detected, without the law being able to reach them. An abortive prosecution would have shown them what would be understood as the weakness of the law ; whereas the failure would have arisen from the difficulty of ascertaining the fact. It would have encouraged parties to the prosecution of these very conspiracies which it was the object of the com plaining parties to prevent. Every prosecntion for libel would lead to a disclosure of how far parties might pro ceed without being subject to the law, and in the case to which he was referring every failure would prove how great was the difficulty of the Government in ascertain ing the fact. (Hear, hear.) His noble and learned friend had stated, and he (Lord Truro) believed the state ment to be perfectly true, that much that appeared to have come from England, much that was supposed to have been done in England, was merely surmise, with out any foundation, a n d the di ffi culty they had of de tecting the thing was that it had no existence. (Hear, hear.) People had been led to suspect conspiracies be cause our neighbours complained of them by reason of the evidence before them, and, perhaps, not unreasona bly. But if the papers dated London never emanated from London, it would be impossible to get up evidence to show a case of conspiracy here. Knowing the atten tion that had been paid to the subject by the Govern ment of which he had the honour of being a member, and having no doubt that , great attention had been paid to it by the late Government, he felt fully satisfied that a mistake had been made by those who supposed that such transactions had been going on in this country. (Hear, hear.) He, therefore, contended that no new law was necessary—that our present laws were sufficient to give every security to foreign Governments which could be given to our own Government. (Hear, hear.) He was quite satisfied that the assurance given by the noble earl would be considered satisfactory, because no human being could doubt that any assurance coming from such a quarter was given with the utmost possible good faith. (Hear, hear.) It should not be forgotten that no coun try in the world had stronger wishes or stronger motives to cultivate the good will and friendship of foreign Go vernments than England. It was, therefore, our own interest to prevent anything occurring in this country to alienate them or excite ill-will on their part. Our own interests then, united with justice, policy, and humanity, ought to be sufficient to afford them a reasonable secu rity. (Hear, hear.) If any such proceedings had taken place here„ would not foreign Governments or their agents have endeavoured to assist this country in detect ing the offenders ? Had they been able to arrive at any one fact to implicate any individual. No such thing. If foreign Governments could furnish any information to enable the British Government to prosecute, let them de so. Independently, however, of that, the Government of this country were bound to use all due diligence. But when they had reason to believe that no such con spiracies existed in London—that no such papers had issued from London—when no person could afford the slightest means of detection, it was a strong confirmation of the impression that such things did not exist. He hoped that what had now taken place would have a ten dency to cause the suspicions and apprehensions which had been entertained to subside, and would give foreign nations still greater confidence in the honour of the British Government. (Hear, hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said, although the con versation had been somewhat desultory and irregular, and although the subject had been pretty nearly, or per haps he might say completely, exhausted, not only by the able address of his noble friend who put the question, but also by what had passed subsequently, he felt that he should not be discharging his duty if he did not rise merely for the purpose of excluding the notion that he dissented from anything which had been said by any of his noble and learned friends. He concurred with them fully in the belief that legislation would be as ab. I ..t, inany of the recommendations of lion deserved he most serio us a tt en ti on , b u t be expected now to refer to any portions of that petition which it was possible might be affected by the measure the Government proposed to introduce for the future go vernment of India, and he submitted to the noble lord that the proper place for considering this petition was in the committee of which he (Lord Monteagle) was a member. The petition was then ordered to be referred to the committee on Indian affairs. The select committee to whom the Registration of Assurances Bill had been ordered to be referred was no minated, and their lordships adjourned at twenty minutes past seven o'clock.
