MARKET TT DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country , marketS held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, for which the demand ruled steady, at full prices. The sale for barley was some what active, at extreme rates. Malt was held for more money ; whilst the value of oats was well supported. Beans, peas, and flour sold firmly, at previous rates. The latest accounts from New York state that the de mand for flour was active, on higher terms. In grain very little was doing. The continental markets have ruled firm for all articles, but the amount of business doing has not been extensive. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English wheat were on a moderate scale. From abroad we re ceived 970 qrs. of wheat, 1,430 barley, 4 tares 3,312 linseed, 577 rapeseed, and 7,261 sacks of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to this morn ing's market, from Kent, was somewhat on the increase, and in fair average condition. From Essex the receipts were but moderate, whilst there were scarcely any arrivals from the east coast. The show of grain per railway was small, and the number of samples of both red and white on offer was comaratively limited. The attendance of town millers was tolerably good, but that from the country was small. For all kinds of wheat of home produce we had a steady, but by no means brisk, inquiry at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, and a total clearance was early effected. The amount of business doing for forward delivery was small, owing to the extreme firmness of the growers. The quantity of fresh foreign wheat on offer was ex tremely small ; but the supply, ex-granary, was rather extensive. Good heavy qualities changed hands steadily, at full rate s o f currency . I n th e middling and inferior parcels very few transactions took place. Floating cargoes of wheat and beans, off Falmouth, were held at very full prices. The sales were trifling. The show of all kinds of barley was very small ; hence the trade ruled decidedly firm, and, in some instances, low and middling malting samples produced rather more money —all other qualities being quite as dear as last week. Malt was in good supply, and steady inquiry, at extreme quotations. We were but moderately supplied with both home and foreign grown oats ; nevertheless the demand for all kinds was by no means active, at last week's currency. Beans, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly, at late rates. The sale for peas was in a sluggish state. In prices no chang e took place. Foreign flour, in sacks, was offering freely, yet prices were supported. English qualities were in very moderate request, at late figures.

The imports of foreign stock into London, last week, were very large—the total supply amounting to 3,590 head. During the same period in 1852 they amounted to 1,824 ; in 1851, 1,994 ; in 1850, 1,228 ; in 1849, 2,616 ; and in 1818 1,020 head.

The section of the Council of State for disputed matters held a public sitting on Saturday, and was engaged in the consideration of various matters, among which was an appeal from the Prince de Wagram against a decision of the Minister of Fi nance on the subject of the exchange of woods be tween him and the State. Another was a case be tween a M. Perregaux, of Lyons, and the Director of the Veterinary School at that place, from whom the former claimed a sum of 1,495 f., the value of an English horse which had died in the establish ment after undergoing an operation. No decision was come to in either case. The Archbishop of Paris has addressed a letter to the editor of the Voix de la Verite, in which he exhorts him to refrain from discussing theological questions, and others of a character calculated to lead to dissension in the Church. He says that he does this in consequence of attempts having of late been made to introduce demagogical discussions into the Church ; and these he describes as tending to Presbyterianism and Laicism, and endeavouring to supersede episcopal authority. The prelate charges the Univers with being the chief of this party, though attempting to disguise its aims by wearing the mask of extreme devotedness to the Holy See. The following letter has been addressed to the Mayor of Lille by the orders of the Empress : " Palace of the Tuileries, Feb. 18. "Monsieur le Maire—After having presented to the Emperor the congratulations of the municipal body of Lille on the occasion of his Majesty's marriage, you ad dressed by writing to the Empress the homage of that body, which worthily represents one of the most impor tant towns of the empire. You also express a wish that her Majesty may accompany her august husband in the visit which the Emperor appears disposed to pay to Your fine town. Her Majesty charges me to transmit to you her thanks, and at the same time to say that, if the Emperor permits her, she shall be happy to accompany him in his visit to the capital of the Nord. Be assured, Monsieur le Maire, that what will more particularly ex cite the interest of the Empress in that journey will not be the monuments which will remind her of the ancient residence of the Spaniards ; what she desires to see is, French Flanders and its verdant fields; it is the town of Lille, celebrated as much by its patriotism as by its in dustry ; it is your population, so activcrand so numerous, the conditions of whom occupies 4o much the attention of the Emperor, and so deeply touches the heart of the Empress. Accept, Monsieur le Maire, and present to the delegates of the municipal body of the town of Lille, the assurance of my high consideration. " The Secretaire des Commandements of the Empress, 4 ‘DAMAS HINARD." The National Guard is to resume duty at the Mairies of Paris to-morrow. The 21 members of the Chamber of Commerce had been unanimously elected. In consequence of the heavy falls of snow, all communication by railway between Bar le Due and Strasburg had been suspended. At Algiers the Governor-General had celebrated the marriage of the Emperor by a brilliant fete, at which a number of Arab ladies were present. A gallery had been prepared for them, in which they could see without being seen. The Constitutionnel says that the company which proposes to take the line of transatlantic steamers from Cherbourg has already secured the necessary capital, namely, 55 millions of francs. The principal organ of the French Government endeavours to calm the alarm of the public in refe rence to the recent news from Constantinople. It does not deny that the telegraphic dispatches, which have brought news from that capital up to tke 12th of February, are of an alarming character ; that, in fact, the Count de Leiningen, after having de clined the mediation of France and England with respect to the differences which have arisenbetween the Austrian and Turkish Governments, had pre sented a second, ultimatum ; but it says, " Nothing definitive has or could yet be decided on by the Cabinet of Vienna with respect to the conduct which it will observe on the subject of the different ques tions in discussion ;" and that it will therefore be more prudent " to wait for more recent and more certain information before forming an opinion as to the intentions of Austria." The Bourse was as much agitated with unfavour able reports on Saturday, and the decline in the price of public securities made further progress. Even the favourable dispatch from Vienna, an nouncing an improvement in the Emperor's health, failed to restore confidence. The Three per Cents. opened at 80f., and rose to 80f. 30c., but on the announce ment that the Eastern question was further complicated by the entrance of the Russians into Jassy, the capital of Moldavia, on the 12th inst., they fell to 79f. 75c. They recovered somewhat towards the end of business, and closed at 79f. 95c. for the end of the month. The Four-and-a . Half per Cents. closed at 105 f. 65c. ; Orleans Railway shares 1,032 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,030 f. ; Havre, 487 f. 50c. ; Great Northern 876 f. 25c. ; Basle, 355 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 806 f. 25c. ; Paris and Lyons, 907 f. 50c. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 745 f. ; Western of France, 741 f. 25c. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 592 f. 50c. ; Caen and Cherbourg, 607 f. 50c.; Dijon to Besancon , .. 550 f. ; Shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 872 f. 50c. Yesterday several speculators assembled at the Casino, but nothing was done. By the steamer Canada, Stone, commander, we ha ve advices from New York to the 15th, and Bos ton to the 16th. She has 217,000 doll. in specie on freight. The steamer Niagara arrived at New York from Liverpool on the 13th. The steamer America, from Liverpool, arrived at Halifax on the 20th. Washington advices of the 12th, state that General Pierce's Cabinet was formed. The New York Herald gives the names and offices of a portion of the new Cabinet. They are as follows SPAIN. We have received the Madrid journals of the 21st The Gazette contains the appointment of M. An tonio Benavides, Minister of the Interior, to the ad interim direction of the Ministry of Public Works. General Aupick, the French Ambassador, has had an audience of her Majesty to deliver an autograph letter from the Emperor of the French. The Minis ters actively employed in preparing different bills to be presented to the Cortes. The Minister of Finance is engaged in organising a combination for establishing a sinking fund for the floating debt. The reforms in the Constitution, which are contemplated by the Government will, it is said, fall principally on the electoral law ; the other parts will be but slightly interfered with. The con tract which it was thought would have been en tered into between the GoVernment and Mr. O'Shea, who represented the house of Baring, of London, has not been signed, in consequence of a clause having been inserted, which the London house refused to ratify. ITALY. A Milan letter of the 21st, in the Opinione of Turin, states that MM. De Vecchi, two rich and well-educated brothers, were arrested the day before at their villa of Palazzecolo, and their apartments in the palace of the Marquis d'Adda searched with extreme minuteness. Many arrests have also been made among the lower classes. The responsible editor of the journal Il Crespus culo had received a second warning for having failed in respect to foreign Governments. The Opinions of Turin of the 24th, publishes a letter from Genoa of the 23d, which states that the steamer had brought news from Leghorn that some sailors belonging to an English corvette there, being on shore, had cried out "-Vire ita/ie 1" and had THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1 been instantly arrested by the Austrians. Some stated that, at the earnest protestations of the English captain, the Austrians had set the sailors at liberty, but others, who thought themselves better informed, declare that the Austrians have refused to release them, and that in consequence s' the corvette had sailed to bring the English squad- _ ron to support the honour of its flag. St. A letter from Florence of the 19th, in the Medi- 20 terraneo of Genoa, states that the Tuscan Govern ment has concluded the loan for three millions of 14 francs of rente 3 per cent., with the house of 31 Rothschild, of Paris, at 61 per cent., with an interest on the profits of the sale of the coupons, 27i which may raise the price to 63 or 64. We read in the Giornale di Roma that the car 22 - nival has been very gay at Rome and in the pro- St. vinces, and undisturbed by any political agitation. 50 The weather has been rainy, and there was a fall 50 of snow on the 18th, an event rarely witnessed at 20 Rome. 50 The Pope will, on the 4th of March, hold a Con- 25 sistory, at which eight cardinals will be nominated. 5 Among these would be M. Morlot, Archbishop of 25 Tours, M. Savelli, his Minister of the Interior, and M. Viol e , th e N unc i o a t Vi enna . 18 The expulsion of the subjects of the canton of 25 Ticino is taking place, and a free ticket is handed to those who have not the means of defraying their 25 travelling expenses by the railway. This extraor- 25 dinary resolution of the Imperial Government is St. fraught with ruin to the trade and commerce of Milan. The sudden expulsion of thousands entails st. failures and bankruptcy; independent of which the 10 late blockade has dealt a fierce blow to all enter- St. prise. Some idea may be formed of the extent st. to which this state of siege tyranny i s carr i e d f rom St st. the following fact :—A gentleman at Turin was to St. receive the sum of 3,000 f. from a correspon- st. dent at Milan. This sum was confided to the St, diligence in specie. All that reached Turin, how- 12 ever, was a receipt from the Milan police-office for that amount, as the authorities are unwilling that St: any money should le ave th e coun t r y j us t now —it 20 is to be presumed for the simple reason that the 14 new contributions are being levied. This is a pro- 50 pitious state of things for trade and commerce. 20 The property of Duke Borromeo, Duke Litta, 11 and Count Greppi, i n L om b ar d y , h as b een segues- St. trated by the Austrian Government. As regards St. Count Borromeo, he has been a Piedmontese sub- 20 ject since 1849, being an exile from Lombardy, with !0 the permission of the Austrian Government. The al Borromese islands, in the Lago Maggiore, are also the property of this nobleman, and fortunately 25 within the Sardinian dominions. Duke Litta is a 25 THE SHARE MARKETS, Paid BRITISH RAILWAYS.

The Irene, for Valparaiso, havin g s hift e d from her anchors durin g the night, was taken in tow by a tug, to be docked, but catching the tail of the bank which extends into the river from the Cobourg Dock, she capsized ; master, chief mate, and eight men drowned : the vessel lies on her broadside, fills with the tide, and is half immersed at low water. REHEAR, Feb. 27.—During a severe gale from N.N.E. yesterday, the Britannia, of Whitby, from London to Hartlepool, drove ashore near this place dismasted. The Elizabeth, of Sunderland, from London to Seaham, drove on shore near the former vessel, but appears not much damaged, and is likely to be got off next spring tide, if the weather permit ; crews of both vessels saved. HOLYHEAD, Feb. 26.—The John of Chester, from Pres tatyn, in trying to enter St. George's Basin, Liverpool, ran foul of the Prince of Wales (s), lost a mast and a man overboard ; the steamer also received some damage. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LIDY.—On Sa turday afternoon the body of a fine-grown, handsome young woman was discovered in the Thames, entangled in the mooring-chains at Pickle-herring Stairs, Horsley down, having been left there by the receding tide. A shell was procured, and the body was conveyed to the vaults of St. John's Church, Horsleydown, and inquiries were instituted at the police-stations as to whether infor mation had been received of any missing person answer ing the description, of the deceased. It was soon be lieved that a clue was obtained, for some days since a printed notice had been received to the following effect : —" Missing,' from No. 14, Castle-street, Leicester square, since Thursday, Feb. 3, Mary Ann Barnes, 20 years of age, five feet high, florid complexion, grey eyes, brown hair, dressed in a dark red stuff gown, drab beaver bonnet, trimmed with blue velvet, drab !cloak, brown victorine, and lace-up boots." Upon making inquiries at the address given, it appears that the deceased be longed to a family of great respectability, where she resided ; but lately, in consequence of her spirits suffer ing considerable depression, it was deemed advisable to remove her to London, to the house of a relative, in Castle-street, Leicester-square, where it was hoped that a change of scene might remove the melancholy that had settled upon her. On the 3rd of the present month she went out, as she stated, for the purpose of taking a walk in St. James's Park, but nothing had since been heard of her until the fatal truth was revealed to her friends on Saturday night by the finding of the body as above described. The body appeared to have been in the water not more than three or four days, but on this point no accurate opinion can be formed, as the effect of the water was slow in cold weather. This has been most distressing to her friends and the relatives, with whom she temporarily resided. r 23 6i 2} 09 AUSTRIA. The health of the Emperor is satisfactory. The journals express a hope that the late dis orders will determine England to send Kossuth and Mazzini out of the country. The assassin has declared that he made the at tempt to avenge his father, who was condemned for participation in the Hungarian insurrection He was executed on Saturday morning. There was a panic at the Bourse of Vienna, in consequence of the complications of the Austro. Turk negotiations. TURKEY. The Austrian Correspondence says :—" Several journals have announced that the Austrian Govern ment have demanded from the Ottoman Porte the cession of the two tongues of land of Kleck and Sutorina. That intelligence is devoid of founda tion. Austria by no means pretends to interfere with the rights of other states, but it will not per mit others to interfere with its own. The Ottoman Porte desires to arrogate to itself rights over the sea shore of these countries, which has always be longed exclusively to Austria. The Venetians, and afterwards the French, had the uncontested possession of that line of coast. By international treaties, Austria became possessed of the rights of the Venetians, and at a later period, after a brief interruption, of those of the French. Under such circumstances, Austria will not make to Turkey concessions which would compromise her interests, and in support of which Turkey cannot bring for ward any title." THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. I -§7 The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's mail packet Propontis, Captain W. Glover, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday forenoon from the coast of Africa. Her cargo consists of 69 casks of palm oil, 27 tons of camwood, 28 cases of arrowroot, 101 cases of Cayenne pepper, 51 casks ditto, 812 bags of ginger, 241 bags of port pepper, 130 pieces of ivory, 62 bags of cochineal, 8 boxes and 5 parcels of sun dries, and 11 packages of bullion. The bark Gambia arrived at Fernando Po on the 13th of January. On the 14th there was a rumour that one of the receiving ships at Bonny had been burnt on Christmas-day. Governor Hill had, on the 20th of January just returned to Cape Coast, from a visit to Dix Cove and Elmina. The garri son was in a very healthy state. The Gold Coast Corps had got their full strength, there having been no want of recruits. The colony was healthy, and had been particularly so during the past year, owing to the extraordi nary quantity of rain which fell in the wet season, measuring over two hundred inches. The officers of the West India Regiment, sta tioned in the garrison, under the command of Cap tain Taylor, had been relieved, Captain Macdonald having assumed the command. At Goree, on the 4th of February were four French war steamers. The Propontis on her outward passage to Ma deira encountered severe gales from S.W. ; the ship was at times hove to, the sea being too heavy to force her against it. From Madeira to Goree fresh N.E. trades prevailed for two days ; from which to Fernando Po and back to Sierra Leone, light airs, and hot sultry weather ; from Sierra Leone to Madeira, northerly winds, with a strong head sea ; from Madeira to Cape Finisterre, strong northerly winds. She put into Coruna for coals, and thence to Plymouth encountered strong northerly and north-east gales. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MR. GIBBS. I On Saturday morning Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Feathers Inn adjoining the E a li ng s t a ti on, on t h e body of James Gibbs, Esq., of Clifton Park, near Bris tol, one of the directors of the Great Western Railway, who was killed on that line on the morning of Thursday last. Captain Wynn, the Government Inspector of Rail ways, was in attendance on the part of the railway de partment of the Board of Trade. _ _ - The jury proceeded to view the body, which lay \ at the 10; Ealing station, and subsequently inspected th a t p or ti on of the line where the accident happened. The only 10 marks of violence observable on the body were a severe 25 graze and indentation of the skull and temple on the 10 right side ; the appearance of the line where the acci- 1.0.6 dent happened indicated nothing peculiar, all evidences of the frightful occurrence having been removed by the 20 company's officials. One circumstance, however, shows the extraordinary impetus which must have been upon St. the carriages at the time. The coupling irons broke, as 1 7 Captain Wynn measured the distance, and found they 25 ran up the banks obliquely for 60 yards. On the re turn of the jury, The body of the deceased was identified as that of James Gibbs, Esq., of Clifton Park, near Bristol. H e was about 61 years of age, and carried on business as a 10 vitriol manufacturer. He was a director of the Great 5 Western Railway Company. 20 Evidence was then taken as to the origin of the acci 2o 20 - dent, which was attributed to the breaking of one of the 20 axle trees of the third first-class carriage. The train at 20 the time was going at the rate of 40 miles an hour. The 5 ordinary express speed being 50 miles an hour. 20 There being no further evidence, the Coroner said, 20; accidents of this kind created great alarm in the public mind, and it was not at all likely to be allayed when the 6 evidence which could be obtained as to the causes of such accident were so unsatisfactory as they turned out 1g to be in the present instance. Under all the circum stances he thought the jury could come to no other con- g elusion than that the deceased gentleman had been acci- 10 dentally killed. That investigation would not, he 20 thought, be without some advantage to the public. It 20 was a remarkable fact that when persons travelling in a 20 railway carriage became alarmed, the first thing they did was to look out of the window, and nothing could be more 20 dangerous, for if an accident happened they received 16 injuries from their head knocking from side to side of 20 the window, and death ensued. From the appearance of the right temple, he had no doubt that s uc h was the lyn case with the unfortunate deceased gentleman, and con- 20 eluded by again expressing his opinion that, from the 20 evidence, it was impossible to fix blame or culpability 20 The jury unhesitatingly One theobfad the srteattu jurye returned dt directedha e rail verdictthen attention e ‘ upon any one. e downAecoii 20 10 t d h e e nta co l m d p ea a t n h y ." to2o 20 line.in A deputation on the su bj ec t of the British Channel 20 Pilotage had an intervi ew w i t h the Right Hon.

Livesey, Esq.; Messrs. Perry, Alsop, Bendall, Jones, &c. Mr. T. MILNER GIBSON, M.P., introduced the depu tation by remarking that it did not represent any par ticular locality, but was composed of gentlemen from Manchester, Leeds, Hull, and various other parts of the country, who had met at the recent Peace Conference at Manchester. Their object was to call the attention of the Government to the evils resulting from large standing armaments in time of peace—not merely with relation to the present moment, but as a question of permanent policy. They wished the Government to endeavour, by diplomatic influence, to effect of reduction of these arma ments. Efforts had been made to excite the feelings of the English nation against the French Government and people, and much irritation and alarm had been the re: suit, but this circumstance furnished only an additional reason for the adoption of the course of policy which he had suggested. He wished to add, that the object of the deputation was limited to the practical measures to which he had referred, and did not seek to enforce those abstract views on the peace question which some of the members of the deputation individually held. Mr. Gib son then introduced the secretary, Mr. Richard, who read the address, which was as f o ll ows : "To the Right Honourable the Earl of Aberdeen, the First Lord of the Treasury. "My Lord,—We have been deputed to wait upon your lordships by the Conference of the Friends of Peace, which met at Manchester on the 27th and 28th of January. " This meeting consisted of more than five hundred gen tlemen of station and character from all parts of the United Kingdom, including seventeen members of Parliament, the chief magistrates of several of our largest towns, more than seventy ministers of religion, and a large body of merchants, manufacturers, and professional men, representing, we believe, not their own sentim en t s on l y, b ut those also of many f their fellow-citizens, inferior to no class in this country for their intelligence and moral and religious worth. Among the resolutions passed by the assembly was the following : " That the standing armaments with which the Govern ments of Europe menace each other, amid professions of mutual friendship and confidence, being a prolific source of social immorality, fiancial embarrassments, and national sufferings, while they excite constant disquietude and irri tation among the nations, and imminently jeop ar di se th e continuance of pe ac e, this Congress would earnes tl y urge upon the Governments the imperative necessity of enter ing upon a system of international disarmament.' "On this subject, my lord, we were appointed respect fully to represent to your lordship the sentiments of the Conference. They look with the deepest regret and alarm upon the present system of enormous peace establishments which prevails in Europe, under which the Governments of the most civilised nations in the world are constantly augmenting their forces on a principle of reciprocal rivalry, to which it is impossible to see any rational or probable limit. It is calculated that there are more than three mil - lions of men under arms in Europe, the very flower of its youth and manhood, withdrawn from all the occupation of productive industry, and maintained in enforced idleness at an expense to the rest of the community, of, at least, one hundred and twenty millions of pounds sterling an nually. This gigantic incarnation of brute force, lifting up its head in the very centre of Christendom, forms a standing and bitter sarcasm on that religion of peace and goodwill which all these nations profess to believe, while it entails the most fearful practical evils upon all the highest interests of society—restraining - the development of liberty—demoralising the character of communities— fomenting a warlike spirit among the people—imminently jeopardising the continuance of peace, by keeping the nations in a constant state of reciprocal jealousy and suspicion, exhausting the resources of state to such an extent as to menace with bankruptcy the exchequers of almost all European countrie4, and leading, by exces sive taxation, and the intolerable oppression of military service, to misery, crime, discontent, and revolution. 'ls not the time come,' to employ the language of that illustrious statesman whom your lordship so powerfully aided to give commercial freedom to this coun try—' Is not the time come when the powerful countries of Europe should reduce those military armaments which they have so sedulously raised ? Is not the time come when they should be prepared to declare that there is no use in such overgrown establishments ? What is the ad vantage of one power greatly increasing its army and navy ? Does it not see that if it possesses such increase for self protection and defence, the other powers will follow its - example ? The consequence of this state must be that no increase of relative strength will accrue to any one power, 1311 there must be a universal consumption of the resources of every country in military preparations. What,' con tinues Sir Robert Peel, is at present the danger of foreign invasion compared to the danger of producing dissatisfac tion and discontent, and curtailing the comforts of .the people by undue taxation ? The answer must be this— that the clanger of aggression is infinitely less than the dan ger of those sufferings to which the present exorbitant ex penditure must give rise.' It is difficult to conceive what rational justification can be pleaded for the continuance of a system so fraught with suffering to the people, and with danger to the Governments. To the reason usually assigned in its defence, that in order to preserve peace it is neces sary to be prepared for war, it would be impossible to reply in language more reasonable and conclusive than that employed by your lordship in the House of Lords in 1849 : —` I am disposed,' your lordship observed on that occa sion, ' to dissent from the maxim which has of late years received very general assent, that the best security for the continuance of peace was to be prepared for war ; that is a maxim which might have been applied to the nations of antiquity, - and to society in a comparatively barbarous and uncivilised state, when warlike preparations cost but little, but it is not a maxim which ought to be applied to modern nations, when the facilities of the preparation for war are very diffarent. Men, when they adopted such a maxim, and. made large preparations in time of peace that would be sufficient in time of war, were apt to be influenced by the desire to put the efficiency to the test, that all their great preparations and the result of their toil and expense might not be thrown away. I think, there fore, that it is no security to any country against the chances of war, to incur great ex p ense, and make prepara tions for warlike purposes. I cannot be at ease as regards the stability of peace until I see a great reduction in the establishments of Europe. Such should be the great ob ject of all Governments, and more especially of the Go vernment of this country.' "We are instructed, my lord, respectfully to suggest that your lordship's present position is eminently favour able for carrying into effect these admirable sentiments, by making an overture, in any fo rm w hi c h to your lordship may seem good to the Government of Europe to enter sim ultaneously upon a reduction of these oppressive military establishments. " But we would wish more especially to express our conviction of the necessity at this moment of endeavour ing to apply your lordship's wise policy to the unsatisfac tory relations of England and France, between which great and civilised co un t r i es a spirit of armedi rivalry is now, and has for some ti me b een carr i e d on, which, if it do not tend to war, seems to promise a continual and indefinite in crease of warlike expenditure ; for, as these hostile pre parations have no reference to any specific ground of quar rel, there is no necessary, or indeed probable, termination to such a ruinous rivalry, unless it be met by diplomacy in the spirit to which your lordship has given your sanc tion. And, moreover, we would suggest that those arma ments, being plainly of a maritime character, admit of none of the pleas of maintaining internal orderwhich are some times urged in the case of the military establishments of the Continent. "In conclusion, we would add, in all sincerity, that to your lordship's hands may our cause be most appropriately entrusted. Your recorded opinions, your 'mown con ciliatory temper in the administration of our foreign affairs, and the courage with which you have maintained your views even when they were opposed to the momentary impulses of public feeling, all point to your lordship as the Minister to whom may be confided the task of placing our inter national relations on a footing more in consonance with the spirit of the age ; and of assigning to diplomatists the new and beneficent functions of mitigating their country's burdens, guarding us from the repetition of degrading alarms and panics, and substituting for the suspicion and hate which now characterise our relations, reciprocal sentiments of confidence and friendship. (Signed) "GEORGE WlLsoii, Chairman. "HENRY RICHARD, Secretary." The Earl of ABERDEEN said that he bad never met any deputation with whose objects he more completely agreed than the present. No one could more earnestly, he might say more passionately, desire the attainment of these objects as a security for the peace of Europe than he did, and he believed that by no other mea ns could any government more effectually promote the happiness of mankind, and bring real glory to this nation. These opinions he had not adopted recently. They had often formed the subject of discussion ten years ago with his late eminent friend Sir Robert Peel ; but at that period the state of Europe was perhaps more favour- Aabdlemtithtai Admitting, nit as he is h a f d or d ca ou rzi t n u g e douutty of the thepl Gansovporroupuloseendt: they must consider the subject in a practical point of view. Strongly desiring the attainment of this most im portant object, they must look at the measures of a prae ticeal nature by which it must be carried out. First, the re was the influence of th e i r own exampl e , and he might say on this point that the military measures into which the Government had entered (whether those measures were right ence , or an d w r h o e n t g h ) 0, n w egx e hp r t e rtes e h n seey t: w e entirely on the views formerly meant to say was, 300,000 or 40 o,ooo"mtenii, in Parliament. not inconsistent wWhat with at his he a th c e o re un w try as keptgrea great a d n an ag r y les of they might be disposed to indulge the taste in which such forces or i g i nated. But the arrangements here were not at all of an aggressive character. There had existed in the country, as had been remarked, a strong feeling of alarm, and had the Government desired it, they might easily have a va il e d th emse l ves o f t hi s f ee ling, and have greatly increased the armaments. But, whatever differ ence of opinion might exist as to the wisdom of the mea sures adopted, and they were fairly open to criticism, their sincere desire had been to do notkug more than 1 was necessary, according to the opinion of competent judges in such matters. He admitted that the danger of aggression had been enormously exaggerated ; yet he thought that a great country like ours ought not to be left at the mercy of even the most pacific nation. With respect to the definite measure proposed by the deputa tion, he doubted whether, in the present state of Europe, such proposals would be listened to as favourably as they might have been ten years ago ; but he again assured the deputation that, whether their object was attai ne d or not, it would not be for the want of an inclination on his part to promote it. He would keep the subject con stantly in view, and no one could more earnestly desire so happy a result than himself. Mr. COBDEN, in acknowledging the kindness and cour• test' with which his lordship had received the address, remarked that the deputation were unanimously desiroes that, by means of diplomatic communications, at attempt should be made to put a stop to the rivalry of hostile preparations which was carried on between ourselves and France, and if possible to effect a pro rata reduction of the forces of the two countries. He thought it would allay all irritation if it were publicly known that the two Governments were in friendly communication upon the subject. H e was in constant correspondence with par tiesdee c l o t: and France, h wianswhoni satisfied he that had t t h h e e r e i n w o s a s t i e m e p f l e i c e i e t d c a o t n i efin for the fears of aggression from that country ; but if the Government were to enter into diplomatic communica tions with France they would be in a position to contradict such alarming rumours authoritatively. Such a course was not without precedent, and be cited the convention between America and England to limit the amount of naval force to be kept up by the two countries on the lakes which separate the United States from Canada. He wished, in conclusion, to explain that whilst many gentle men present entertained conscientious convictions in oppo sition to war under every pretence, yet that they did not seek by their presence to enforce upon his lordship the practical application of their views ; but all those present, as well as well as those whom they represented, wished to see an effort made by our Government to bring reason and common sense to bear upon the evil of our large warlike preparations in time of peace ; and although the objects and motives of the peace party, as it was called, had been grossly misrepresented, he had no doubt that his lordship would be sustained by the public opinion of the country, if he would mitertake to carry out practioally the reasonable plan which they had submitted to him. Mr. HUME urged upon Lord Aberdeen, as the head of the Government, the consideration of the subject, on the ground of the enormous expenditure, the war establish ment costing 17,000,0001. per annum. This became specially important, from the peculiar circumstances of the country, occasioned by the discovery of gold in Australia. Already the wages of labour began to affect the cost of production so seriously, that the British ma nufacturer could not compete with his foreign competi tor. This was a great mercantile and manufacturing country, and those interests must be preserved. The only practicable way of lessening the cost of production to which he had referred, was by removing many of the taxes which pressed upon industry ; and he looked con fidently to the present Government to remove such pressure. He saw, however, small hope of such mea sures being adopted, unless a reduction could be made in our naval and military establishments. Mr. SAMUEL GURNEY asked permission to add a few words. From the position he occupied in connexion with mercantile affairs he had an opportunity of know ing the state of opinion among the mercantile commu nity, not only in this country, but he might say through.. out the world, and especially very extensively in France. His belief was that there was no unfriendly feeling in France towards this country until it had been excited by our own warlike preparations and the comments of the press. But he feared that now there was more bad feeling excited on both sides than had existed since 1815. He was one of those who believed that the great principle of peace was in accordance with the doctrines of the New Testament, but he admitted that was not the time to argue that question. But on the ground of ordinary experience he thought that when two great nations were arming themselves in this way, and look. ing with defiance at each other, that the danger was very great of their coming into collision. The war spirit was aroused by such means, and was more likely to proceed to active aggression. The consequences of a war would be most disastrous. The amount of property that might be said to be afloat in our mercantile navy, and which could not be protected except by the good understanding of different nations, could not be esti mated at less than eighty millions. He had no doubt that a diplomatic negociation of a conciliatory nature between the two gove rnmen t s on th e su bj ect of their armaments could not fail to exercise the happiest influ ence on public opinion in both countries. After a short reply from the Earl of Aberdeen, the deputation retired. THE CITY" RAILWAY TERMINUS. The following is a dissection of the division in the Court of Common Council on Thursday last.
