I believe, from the last accounts which I have received from him, that he will• reach China with his health restored, and that he will execute with credit the trust which has been committed to him. ' this system of subordinate officers criticising the abilitie s ser Ea vat rl ieGnsnoEf GREY xp e the expressed s i e s d l o h r d i s entire o c a o d n i c l u n r t r enc i sat e d, n the ) wm o l b - f of generals appointed to command were to be agewed there would he an end to all discipline. He was sure there was not one of their lordships who had not the same fee!ing on the subject as Lord Panmure, and it was the duty of her Majesty's Government, by the strong. est means in their power, and especial) , by giving no em ployMent to a man who had been guilty of conduct this 'descriptioreto discourage such discussions. B.e concurred in the opinion that there *as nothing in the address which called for opposition from any one of their lordships, and that being the case he did not intend to anticipate dis otnieions which would take place hereafter, when they were more fully in possession of the information which they required on certain topics than they were at pre sent. Bat he would take that opportunity of pointing out to their lordships and her Majesty's Government that there were some topics in the speech delivered by the commissioners which would require very speedily to be brought under their lordshipa' notice, and upon which, therefore, it wan desirable teat they should have infor mation with the leant possible delay. Among other topics, sine of the first to which their - attention should be called was the Pereian war. He begged to remind the it lordships that that e war had been begun and con chided without Any formal communication with per 'lament of the grounds on which it was commenced. or of the means which - work teken by Jaer Majesty's Government to avert the necessary of the war. Upon these points he thought it absolutely necessary that they should be fully informed. In the last session of Par lialient her Majesty's Government declined to produce any papers relating to this war—in the first place be cause negotiations were pending in Paris, and subse quently because any discussion might have a prejudicial effect on the ratification of the treaty. For his own part he thought Parliament was somewhat easily satisfied in abstaining on these grounds from pressing on a discus sion. But even admitting that it was light not to ask for an earlier production of the papers, those reasons no longer existed. He knew it was the usual practice that the treaty should not be laid on the table before it was ratified, but there was no reason why the correspondence should not be immediately laid on the table of the house. At all events, no discussion in that house could have the slightest effect on the ratification of the treaty. He trusted, therefore, that these papers would be pro duced without delay. He thought, also, they were enti tled to ask for some further information with regard to China. They ought to know more distinctly than they knew at present what were the objects of the war on which they were entering, mad what were the demands Which were to be made on the Chinese authorities, which were to be supported by the maintenance of a very large force. Ou that subject they bad at present nothing but the most vague statements. They bad vague declare tioes of the increased facilities of trade which were to be required, and the placing of our relations with China in a more satisfeetery state ; but in what respect those rela tions were to be pisced in a more satisfactory state and what were the additional facilities to be obtained for trade they were in ignorance. On both points he thought some further information was required. He thought so more especially because he could not help being alarmed by expressions which had been used in various quar ters, and which had been repeated is that house that eight by the noble lord who seconded the address, that the great empire of China must I;e : further opened up, and that we must demand greater facilities for trade with that country. He believed that we had all the facilities of trestle to which' we were entitled by treaty, and that, in point of fact, much more than we had a right to claim by treaty ! had been conceded, li e was riot aware that because we had a quarrel with China we were entitled to say to them that they must g ive us , greater facllities for trade. He had al w ay s b een under the impression that nations were at liberty to grant or with boll faciiitiee for trade with other nations entirely as it seemed to them to coincide with their own interests. He never heard, for instance, that it was a legitimate cause of quarrel with France that she imposed at one time a highly restrictive tariff, which prevented a great trade being carried on with this country. And so with Naples and Russia, and various European countries. We knew perfectly well that our trade bad been restricted with those nations in consequence of their high tariffs. He believed the Chinese had set an example to many civi lised nations which they might follow with advantage, with regard to the facilities they, bad given to trade. There had been fewer , onerous duties imposed on the commodities of other nations, fewer difficulties thrown in the way of trade by the Chinese than by most Euro -1 peen nations, and much less, be grieved to say, than by ' ourselves up to a comparatively recent period. He con sidered, therefore, that their lordships had a right to ex pect more information than they had yet received of the objects of the expe Mien which had been sent to China. And let him add that he concurred with the noble earl t o h p e p os mannerite in the i a which feelings rm er discussions eth which .it hadregatrd t taken e n o piece in their lordships' house on this subject had been commented on in another place. They had a right to coni plain that their motive on that occasion was imputed to be to obtain office. However that might apply to others, it had no application to himself. But he did not speak alone for himself. He thought that house bad a right to complain of this lowering of.the whole tone of pnblic dis sion, when improper motives were imputed to them. He agreed with the noble earl opposite that those who were , lowered by these imputations were those who made them. Those who made such degrading imputations on their ad versaries judged of their adversaries by what was in their own minds, and they were unable to conceive that on a great question of peace and war—a question on which men believed that as Christians they were bound to ex press their reprobation of unprovoked and cruel hostili -1 ties which had been carried on against a nation totally incapable of resisting our superior power—the house should give a vote on a question of that kind without being actuated. by such low and degrading motives. (Hear, hear.) That was the view that he took on this subject, and it seemed to him that heavy responsibility was incurred by those who, not content with thus villi fying those who had voted against them on a question of this kind, did all that lay in them to stir up vindictive passions in the people of this country against the Chi nese. He bad seen with feelings which be would not trust himself to describe the language used with regard to the Chinese, language which no one with proper feelings could have read without great pain. They had heard it represented e that the atrocities committed by the Chinese were the reasons that induced us to commence hostili ties ; and he had seen anonymous proclamations e which the Chinese had no means of preventing or controlling, represented as the acts of the Chinese Government. If it were true that a wholesale attempt bad been made by the Chinese to destroy the Europeans by ,poison, such a !crime was horrible to contemplate and greatly to be con•- demnal ; but he thought that the slaughter ©f unoffend lug Chinese who were not connected with the war was equally to be condemned. The greater those atrocities, the greater in his opinion was the responsibility of those who began this fearful contest. That responsibility rested not so much with the Chinese as with those who began the contest. And that was true of every war. When it was once begun, when men's angry passions were roused, great cruelties were often committed. But was it becoming in them, as Christians, because the Chinese had under great provocation been guilty of acts of this kind, that they were to be held up as a nation to whom indiscri minate slaughter and destruction were to boapplied? Other nations when they hied been attacked had been guilty of crimes hardly less monstrous than those attributed to the Chinese. They knew that when warfare was carried on, not by disciplined troops, but by a population, against an army which they had no means of resisting, great cruelties were committed. For instance, in Spain the insurgents were frequently guilty of great cruelty against the French soldiers. But it was always held that this was no reason why the whole nation should be held up to reprobation. The same character applied with still greater force to barbarous nations who knew nothing of civilised notions of the mode of conducting war, and h wh y o a s n e y n m o t e i o a n n s of B w u a t r h w e a h s ad to h e e x e t n e r led m i n a i t n e t oTh eth: s r s e n n h e j rencet further than he intended. All he intended to say at pre ' Tent was, that he thought it absolutely necessary they should have clearer information than had been given to them as to the objects of this war. (Hear, hear.) in agreeing to the aildresS. The motion was then put and unanimously agreed to. The wanding orders were then passed, and Lord Re desdn!e was re-appointed chairman of committees. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter past seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The house resumed at a quarter to 4 o'clock, when the swearinz in of mem')ers was con(intred : Lord Lo vaine, Mr. Parke, Mr. Vanßittart, Mr. Adderley, the Marquis cf Safford, Mr. J. Dundas, Mr. Sturt, Al derman Cubitt, Lord Raynharn, and Mr. Heatbcote were amongst those who to)k the oaths and tbe!r seats this afternoon. The house was very full. A great prepnr derance of the members sat on the Ministerial side of the house. The sessional orders were moved by Mr. WILSON and agreed to. The Outlawry Bill was read a first time. Mr. WILSON brought up the present expenditure to the 27th of March which was ordered to be printed. POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND. In answer to Mr. FRENCH, Mr. WILSON said that no time bad been lost, or efforts spared to carry out arrangements for the better transmission of mails to and from Ireland. He bad been in communication that day with the Post-office authorities, and he hoped to be able to isy before the steam companies to morrow a communication that would prove satisfactory to all parties.

London, &c., &c. 1 he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con seouenees resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and prematute decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of dis ase known to modern pathologists. its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys.cel condition, end who are conscious of having hezarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences 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.

ASSAULTS ON WOMEN. Mr. DILWYN gave notice that he should on an early day move for the repeal of the present act relative to ag 2ravated assaults on women and children, with a view to its amendment. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. Mr. HEADLAM gave notice that he should, on Tuesday next, ask leave to introduce a bill to amend [ho medical profession. The Earl of ALBENI..9.RLE said there was an omis sion in the Speech which he hoped her Majesty's Minis t,rs would rectify. He did not hear the words " Parlia mentary reform" in it. He had heard that in another place such an expectation had Feel) held out of a good measure of Parliam.entaryrietfoirum that s a w t o h o o l u d s s e. atisfily:h wag who were most ar xtoui for aware that it was a subject which one ought in that house to mention with " bated breath and whispered humbleness ;" and he hoped that the measure, whatever it might be, would be sent np t ) that house with so large a msjcrity that they should have great pleasure in giving it their sanction. It was about a quarter of a century since they had had any organic change—(a laugh)—as regarded the c)mposition of the Lower House Of Parlia ment. In that period great changes had taken place. A network of railways had been spread over the coun try, which bed increased the power of internal communi cation to an extraordinary extent ; in that period also the discovery of gold in Australia and California had taken place, whcb had given a greet, stimulus to the industry of every civilised nation. The population of this country had increased from 13,000,000 to 19,000,000, and the trade of the country had been still more largely increased. He thought, therefore, that there should be an evensive measure of reform, and he should be all the better pleased with it if there was a protection to the voter. He thought the question of reform might be left to the noble viscount at the bead of the Govern ment and that body of tee Legislature that had been called under his special auspices. He hoped that some of the 173 young men in tkat house would recruit the small body of Indian reformers, a suLject which he should bring forward during the session. He should look with anxiety to the announcement of the ratification of the treaty with Persia, which be did not think would be satisfactory, because be believed it authorised intsrmed dling with the internal affairs of a barbarous country.

There was a very full attendance of peers this after noon. The Earl of Clarendon, the Marquis of Lans downe, Earl Granville, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and Lord Panmure were on the Ministerial bench ; and amongst thou on the Opposition were the Earl of Malmesbory, the Earl of ilardvricke, the Earl of Eglin ton, the Earl of Ellenborough, the Marquis of London derry, Earl Grey, L:,rd Lyndhurst, &c. LAW OF LIBEL. Lord CAMPBELL gave notice that to-morrow be would move the appointment of a select committee to inquirellow far the privileges now enjoyed in respect to the reports of the Courts of Law may be extended to the reports of the proceedings of both Houses of Parlia ment, and other public meetings, and also a committee to inquire into the expediency of swearing witnesses be fore the said committee, and not at the bar of the houEe. THE ADDRESS. The LORD CHANCELLOR then rose and read her Majesty's Speech as follows : " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,' "We are commanded to inform you that her Majesty has availed herself of the earliest opportu nity of having recourse to your advice and assist ance after the dissolution of the last Parliament ; and her Majesty trusts that there will he found sufficient time during the present session to enable you satisfactorily to deal with various important matters, some of which had occupied the attention of Parliament in the beginning of e this " - WenfrObinmanded by her Majesty to inform you that the general aspect of affairs in Europe affords a well-grounded confidence in the con tinuance of peace. • "All the main stipulations of the treaty of Paris have been carried into execution, and it' is to be hoped that what remains to be done in regard to those matters will be speedily accomplished. • " The negotiations upon the subject of the dif ferences which had arisen between the King of Prussia and the Swiss Confederation, in regard to the affairs of Neuchatel, are drawing to a close, and will, her Majesty trusts, be terminated by an ar rangement honourable and satisfactory to all par ties. "The negotiations in which her Majesty has been engaged with the Government of the United States, and with the Government of Honduras, in regard to the affairs of Central America,• have not yet been brought to a close, " We are commanded by her Majesty to inform you that a treaty of peace between her Majesty and the Shah of Persia was signed at Paris on the 4th of March, by her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris and by the Ambassador. of the Shah ; and her Majes'y will give direct!ons 'that this treaty shall be laid before you as • soon as the ratifications thereof shall have been duly exchanged. " Her Majesty commands us to express to you her regret that, at the date of • the latest advices from China, thediffe'rences which had arisen between the High Commissioner at Canton and her Majesty's civil and naval officers in China, still remained un adjusted. But her Maje Sty has sent to China a Plenipotentiary fully instructed ,to , deal with all matters of difference, and that Plenipotentiary will be supported by an adequate naval and military force, in the event of such assistance becoming necessary. " are commanded to inform you that her Majesty, in conjunction withseveral other European Powers, has concluded a Treaty with the King of Denmark for the redemption of the Sound Dues. This Treaty, together with a Separate Convention between her Majesty and the King of Denmark, . completing the arrangement, will be laid More You, and her Majesty will cause the measures ne cessary for fulfilling the -engagements thereby con tracted' to be submitted for your consideration:" " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. "Bier Majesty has directed the Estimates for the present year to be laid before you. "They have been prepared with a careful atten tion to economy, and with a due regard to the effi ciency of the department of the public service to which they severally relate. " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " Her Majesty commands us to recommend to your earnest consideration, measures which will be proposed to you for the consolidation and improve ment of the law. " Bills will be submitted to you for. improving the laws relating to the Testamentary and Matri monial Jurisdiction now exercised by the Ecclesias tical Courts, and also for checking fraudulent breaches of trust. " Her Majesty commands us to express to you her heartfelt gratification at witnessing the conti nued well-being and contentment of her people, and the progressive development of productive industry throughout her dominions. "Her Majesty confidently commits to your wis dom and care the great interests of her empire, and fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty God may be vouchsafed to your deliberations, and may lead you to conclusions conducive to the objects of ber Majesty's constant solicitude, the welfare and happiness of her loyal and faithful people." The Marquis of TOWNSEND (who wore a naval uniform), rose to move an humble address to her Ma jesty, in answer to her Majesty's most gracious Speech on the opening of Parliament. He said, in rising to move the address, he felt that their lordship would kindly assist him with their indulgence. In the ob• servations he should address to the house, he would endeavour to confine himself strictly to the question be fore the house. The present Parliament was called into existence by a state of things that were well known to most of their lordships, and therefore he need not detain their lordships at any length on that point. It had been said that the noble lord at the head of the •Government had no fixed principles to go to the country, but only a name ; but with that name he went to the country, and the result of that appeal had been greatly in his favour. The noble lord had boldly undertaken the command of the helm of the State at a time of great difficulty and danger, and had carried the formidable war in which they had been re cently engaged to an honourable issue. The country had decided that the noble lord at the head of the Government was the proper person to retain the reins of power, and not those who had aspired to power, whose policy was to reduce the power of the country, and. to submit quietly to the humiliation of the British flag. (Hear, bear.) It was to be regretted that the Chinese question had not been satisfactorily settled, but he trusted the steps now taken would bring it to a speedy termination. The noble lord then referred to the part in the Royal speech with respect to the oaths taken by members of Parliament. He trusted that he should soon see the Jews admitted to both Houses of Parlia• ment. (Hear, hear.) After some further observation' the noble lord c included by reading the address, which, as usual, was an echo of the Royal Speech. The Earl of PORTSMOUTH said, in seconding the address, he should detain their lordships but a few moments, and while doing so he entreated their kind indulgence. It was a source of great satisfaction that the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris had been so fully carried out. The state of affairs in Persia, had proved that British valour was still triumphant, and it must be a source of gratification to Englishmen to learn that when it was necessary to act their conduct had been marked with their usual gal lantry. (Hear, hear.) The late treaty effected with the King of Denmark was also a source of gratification, as by it the Sound Dues had been abolished. The noble lord then beicfly alluded to the other parts in the speech, con cluded by seconding the address. The Earl of MAL MESBURY—If from private feel ings cod reacone I regret the absence of my noble friend (Lord Derby), who usually sits on the bench near me, those feelings of regret are increased in consequence Of the task which I am obliged, as it were, to undertake, of attempting—in vain, I know—to fill his place for a few minutes. Your lordships will bear in mind that my noble friend, while leading most ably this side of thy house, always desired that on occasions like the present the Address to the Throne should be carried in no chur lish or reluctant spirit, but should be passed with unani mity by your lordships. I am glad to say that I see no apprehension 'of a contrary course being taken to-night. (Hoar, hear.) I see nothing in the Speech delivered by the Royal Commissioners-which can provoke discussion or induce any one to OppOse the Address in answer to it recommended by the noble marquis and the noble earl opposite. Nevertheless, for a moment I had some fear that this might not be the case, when I listened to certain observations which fell from the noble marquis; and, if I were to take his speech as an appen dage to the Royal Speech, I certainly could not resume my seat without commenting, however reluctantly, on some of the topics which the noble marquis has been pleased to introduce to,the notice of your lordships, and which are not to be found in the copies of the Royal Speech in yOur lordships' hands. The noble marcinis ! having omitted to notice three or font' important subjects (to be found the middle of the Royal Speech, intro duced two other subjects net less important—Pail'amen tary reform and Church-rages. Note, I do think that if any one desired to raise ,a, discussion, the best thine , he could do would be to select either one or both 'of those subjects, which her Majesty, in my opinion, wisely omitted from the Speech, but which the noble mar quis introduced. However the speech of the noble marquis was subsequent to the Speech of her Ma jesty, and it is the Speech of her Majesty alone which is to be looked upon as authentic in this house, and in respect to which the address is to be voted. I think, then, that the Government do not take too sanguine a view, when, they . express a hope that " there - will be found sufficient time during the present session to deal with 'various important matters," for though the time be short I must say that the list of mea sures proposed to be brought forward i 3. also so small that we may fairly hope to get through it in the present session. We sitting on this bide of the house cannot but share in the pleasure expres se d by th e mover an d se conder of the Address in reft;rence to that paragraph of the Royal Speech which announces that the peace of Europe is likely . to continue undisturbed ; and. I wish it could have been added that peace in Asia is also Assure". lam of opinion that the peace of Europe is secure so long . as that important alliance now upon so happy a footing between ourselves and France con tinues ; and I believe that for its continuance nothing is r =spired but a judicious consideration of the different positions of France and England, both geographically and constitutionally. I say :this - because I have sometimes remarked a natural impatience on the part of the English people 'in cOnsegnence of their neighbours not having a constitution as free as their own, forgetting what ought not to be forgotten, that the constitutions of both ceunteins ce t era %fated _hy,444.- . {pular voices and -. threrefol'e,'th*ough differing- in detail, they proceed from the same foundation. The next point to which the Royal Speech adverts is that which remains to,be accomplished in respect to the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris, the arrangements relative to the Princi palities of Wallachia and Moldavia having been left in an incomplete State. UpOn this point I shall only re mark that I hope my noble friend opposite Ohe Earl of Clarendon) will not forget the original object of the war with Russia, which has now happily ceased. That ob ject I understood to be to secure the future independence and integrity of the Turkish Empire against any attack from its powerful neighbour. (Hear.) Now, however it might be desired to take up the cause of nationalities, I trust that the oi iginal ebject of the war wilt be kept iu view, and the Turkish frontier rendered secure in the most effec tive Mennee, whether by a union of the Principalities or . by keeping them separate. In reference to the settlement of the - affair of Neuchatel your lordships cannot but ex press great pleasure, for there is always felt in this coun try the greatest poesible sympathy with Switzerland, on account of resemblance in religious and coustitutional matters. With respect to .the peace fortunately con eluded with Persia, I trust that the,Government will inform the house at what date they expedt that the news of that peace Would reach Sir J. Outram and his army, so that we may have some hope of soon hearing of an end being put to the unnecesary shedding Of blood. Ido not know that I should have said anything upon a sub ject which is perhaps the most important in the whole Speech, and which has certainly occupied the attention of this country of late more than any other—l mean the dispute with China—had it not been for a reference to the past debates upon that subject which was made by the noble marquis who moved-toe Address,and which Ithink had been better omitted. It appears almost childish to tell your lordships that we on this side of the house and some noble lords on the other side who took a different view of the que,lien to that which was entertained by her Majesty's Ministers did so from a deep sense of duty and from no - other feeling. ' would be almost childish, I say, to repeat that assertion to your lordships, because I am persuaded that no one ever records a vote in this house without consciontiotitly believing that in giving that vote he is perforating an act of duty. But the noble marquis alluded to what had passed, and he made use of an expression which I cannot anew to remain unnoticed. I should not have referred to it perhaps, however, had it not been the echo of what ,was stated be ha rnore impor tant personage than the noble marquis—l mean the noble viscount at the head other Majesty's Government. The noble marquis, adopting the tone of the noble viscount, said that there were men who were prepared for the sake of office to accept, as I understood him, the degradation of the English flag. A heavier charge, my lards, could not by possibility be lain upon any metnber of Parliament, or upon any gentleman in this country. (Hear, hear.) I would gladly have avoided alluding to, even it I could not forget, the almost similar terms which were made use of by the noble viscount at the head of the Govern ment. Referring to those persons who might possibly succeed him in office, h said of them and of those who had voted against his views on the Gahm question that they were men who had " thus eedeavoured to make the humiliation and degradation of their country the stepping-stone to power." My lords, I do not believe that there is any precedent fur language such as that ever proceeding from so high a source. (Hear, hear.) I do not think that even in the heat of any debate I ever heard such language ; but your lordships must recollect Mat the language to which I refer was not spoken in the heat of debate, but that it was calmly written, printed, and addressed to his constituents by the noble viscount at Tiverton. Of the noble viscount's attack, therefore, I say no more than that it was unworthy his great reputation, talent, and position, and that it was as absurd as it was unworthy. It was absurd, because in a degraded country no power is attached to office ; on the contrary, the man who rules such a country is the most degraded being in it. Forgive nee, my lord, if I have spoken with warmth on this subject, for I confess that I feel strongly upon it. Bat to revert to the queslion of China. We never denied upon this side of the house that the Chinese had given to this country considerable cause of offence ; but what we stated was that the pun ishment inflicted was out of proportion to the offence— that populations destroyed and towns attacked wee e rather too strong measures of retaliation for the affront ;which had been offered by the Chinese. We added that we thought that, the plenipotentiary and admiral at Canton should have waited for further orders from home before they proceeded to extremities. Those were the points on which we grounded our opposition ; and I must add now that if her Majesty's Government had at the time been pleased to state, as they now do in the Royal Speech, that they were about to send an eminent Person to settle the differences in, China, my firm belief is that no division would have taken place on that question, and that her Majesty's Government would not have been opp sed. Beyond toe few words which I have now addressed to your lordships I have only fur ther to express a hope that when the estimates for the present year come to be presented we shall find that the promise that they will be drawn up with a careful eaten- . tion to economy is not a mere idle and formal phrase. With a war now progressing in China., and with an ex pensive war just concluded, we surely cannot afford to throw away a single shilling ; and I shall upon a future occasion take au opportunity of bringing before your lordships what appears to me to be considerable extrava gance and waste of public money now taking place within this very metropolis. I hope that the Government will omit nothing in order to carry out the war in China with vigour and effect to a speedy and successful termivation, for I can assure them that they will not find upon the _side of the house any undue reluctance to assist them with all that can he required to make England's power acknowledged and respected. That they may be armed with the means, however, to maintain the honour of the country, the strictest economy in other matters will be not only desirable, but necessary. (Hear.) Having said thus much I can only prekune, in the unfortunate absence of my noble friend, to advise my noble friends behind me to assent to the terms of the address which. has been pro posed, and I, for one, shall do so most cheerfully ,(Hear,) Earl GRANVILLE—In answer to the question which was addressed to her Majesty's Government by the re ble earl who has just sat down I have to state that a telegraphic message has been received this very after noon, from which it appears that on the sth of April the general commanding the British forces in Persia re ceihed information Of the treaty with Persia having been signed at Paris ; so that we can have no doubt that sub sequently to that date all unnecessary bloodshed had ceased. (Hear, hear.) The observations of the noble earl with respect to the propriety of _our joining with as much unanimity as possible in our respectful Addres4 to the Throne, were so just and faultless in their tone that I should have bad nothing to add if I had not thought that he a little misunderstood the inten tion of the noble marquis behind me when he stated that he ha i endeavoured to raise. questions which might dis turb that unanimity which was so desirable. (Hear.) As to the expressions of the noble viscount at the head of the Government, which were said to have been re peated by the noble marquis, I cannot admit that they bear the interpretation which the noble earl has • put upon them. No doubt, in the contest of parties questions are occasionady, raised with the view of displacing those in pOwer, and it may be that such questions are most prOperly raised—(hear) —but, if the nool viscount went beyond the ordinary bounds, let ms remind the noble earl—although at the same time I strongly depre cate the introduction of these personal matters—that at the close of the late session the noble earl not now present (tho Earl of Derby) did in this house giie a very strong and personal description of that noble. viscount which, in my Opinion, in the opinion of my noble friends behind me, and in the opinion of the country, were Lot borne out by facts. (Hear.) 1 have thought it right to Menton this, although it is very undesirable upon these occasions to enter upon ques tion' of a personal nature, or to advert to topics which May give rise to any debate of an acrimonious character —and I sincerely hope that any bitterness which may have been excited during the elections has by this time subsided, so that we may new apply ourselves with earnestness to the consideration of those measures which may tend to the advantage of the communitrat large. (Rear, hear.) I have nothing more ,to add, my lords, after the very courteous manner in which the noble earl has asked you to agree to the Address. lof course con cur iu that request, and I hope that weinay join unani inoutly in presenting to her Majesty the Address which has been moved and seconded by my noble friends be- hind me. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE—It is not my in tention to disturb the unanimity which Appears to pre. veil anione your lordships witle'respect to the Address.; but there is one point upon which I wish to offsr a few remarks, and to which I must solicit the attention of the noble lord the Secretary for War—l mean that part of the Royal Speech which refers to the expedition which has been sent out to China to :support her Majesty's Pie nipotentiaiy. If unfortunately the services of the:, ex: pedition should be called into exercise by the necessities of the case, the success of its operations must, of course, greatly depend on the abilities of the person who has the charge Of it, and T. submit that it is the duty of the Governineet, of the Parliament. and of the country, on ail occasions to sustain those whom they have placed in high and difficult positions against any attacks which may be made upon them. Under these circumstanoee, my lords, I am about to advere very shortly to the at tacks made against General A sliburnham—attecks of a nature which I do not think oaght to be entirely disre garded either by Parliansent or the country. If these attacks consisted merely of articles in newepapers I should be the first to recognise that, looking to the free press of this country, it would. be unwise for the Go vernment' to interfere, jend inipossible for Parlieinent to control it ; but attacks have been made by officers in her Majesty's service, who must be, or, at least, who might be, known to the military authorities and to the Government; and theseattacks have been direated egainst the professional character of the General to whom has been confided the conduct of the expedition to China. I must say I think we ought to have some explanation on this head, and, as to-night the Government is not em barrassed by any controversy on the subject of the ad dress, Ihope. I shall not be considered as going out of the proper track in alluding to the subject at this the very first oppertunity; _General Ashburnham was, as your lord ships will recollect, appointed to the distinguished post which he now .occupies early in March. He did not ethis ceanteerfar some weeks after receleing that ap pointment, which was, of course, commented upon in the papers with that freedom which is becoming in this country. But after he was gone, and when he was no longer in Europe, it appears that ad officer did not tisink it unworthy of his position to make an attack upon the professional character of the general in a manner of which I think the Government ought to take some public notice. In the letter to which I allude (no doubt all your lordships have read it, and I will not there trouble you by quoting any portion of it), General Ashburnham was distinctly charged with cowardice and incapacity. The letter has certainly drawn forth answers to it, but in my opinion, officers ought net to be allewed to make these attacks upon generals in high c immand, which cannot possibly be for the good of the public ser vice. lam not sufficiently acquainted with the regule tions'of the army to know far they may be made avail able in this case, but the person who signs himself " M. L "describes himself as serving upon the staff of a par ticular brigadier on a particular occasion; and e,s having carried a message on this occasion to Greu. Ashburnham, and I imagine therefore that his identity Mast tie known, In fact, 1 am told that his name is known, though I preferred not to know it. In this letter, I repeat, General Ashburnham was charged with a want of due courage and with incapacity. It was stated that Lord Gough might be appealed to in proof of this charge that his lordship was highly exasperated on the °seamen referred to, bun nevertheless, favourably represented General Astiburnhani's conduct in his despatches home ; and then it was added with a sort of sneerthat the gene ra! was rewarded for his distinguished service. I hope my noble friend the Secretary for War' can tell us that he has taken steps to convey his opinion that such con duct as this on the part of officers in her Majesty's ser vice is not to be approved of. (Hear.) If, atter there have been plenty of opportunities for making comments to a man's face, and for criticising an appointment when it is possible to revoke it, a general's professional charac ter and capacity ale to be assailed when he has turned his back by officers inferior in rank, the service of the country will be zegarded as dangerous, and will no longer continuo an object of desire to men of gallantry and honour. (Hear, hear.) Lord PANMURE—After what has just fallen from I my noble friend it seems necessary for me to say a few words on the subject to which he has addressel himself. lam very glad, my lords, that my noble friend has drawa your attention to the attack which has been made ; upon Gen. Ashburnham. Gen. Ashburnham was ap pointed to the command which he has assumed on the 14th of March. Parliament was sitting for a week after that appointment was made, and, if therefore it had been wished to raise any objections in either House of Parlia ment to the appointment, a legitimate opportunity existed of doing so for a full week. Gen. Ashburnham remained in this country for some time afterwards, and yet, during the whole of his stay here, not one objecticn was raised in any public print with respect to his fitness —either in his general professional character as a soldier or in his capacity as commander of this ex )edition. Scarcely, however, had this gallant officer's back been turned, when, misled I have no doubt by false informa tion (for of the real facts the newspaper to which I refer nsnet have been ignorant), an article appeared reflecting not simply upon General Ashburnham's capacity to execute the duties which be had undertaken, but but reflecting also upon that which is most dear of all to a British officer—his personal courage. The first fruits of such an attack were that it opened the columns of the public press to all the indignant slanders which toremany officers are ready to launch against an eminent member of their own profession. I cannot ascertain the names ' of those individuals. But I am quite content to say this —that any officer in her Majesty's service, whether he be in the Line or in the Company's ranks, who anony mously traduces a brother officer, is unfit to carry the commission of the Queen and unfit to associate with his companions in the profession. (Cheers.) Now what are the facts of this case? Gem Ashburnham is accused of not having attacked a certain position at a period which, in the opinion of this anonymous "M. L.," was the proper period to have made that attack. At thattime Gem Ash burnham was acting under the orders of the Commander in Chief of the army in which he was serving. He bad received eo counter orders which justified bib in acting otherwise than he did ; and, because he resisted the advice of a general commanding the Artillery, conveyed te him by "M.L.," he seems co have excited the wrath and indignation of this individual, the weight of which I Mink Gen. Ashburnham may easily bear. What might have been the consequence had Gen. Ashburnham dis obeyed the orders of the Commander-in-Chief and obeyed those of a subordinate officer ? It might have disarranged the whole plans of the Commander. All military combinations and movements depend upon obe dience to orders and strict punctuality iu point of time, and this "M. L." seems to have been ignorant of the first duties of a soldier when he complains of Gem Ash burnham because ha did not depart from the orders he had received from his Conamander-in-Chief. What was the Duke of Wellington's opinion in these matters ? He had once posted a very gallant officer commanding a troop 'of artillery in a particular place upon a particu lar occasion, ordering him to remain at that poet until he received counter instructions. That officer saw the whole army defile before him and pass him on the way to attack the enemy. Galled by seeing his troop left behind, he limbered up and followed the rest of the army. What was the result IThe reverse, the pos sibility of which the Duke of Wellington bad foreseen, and in order to guard against which be had posted this troop of artillery in this particular spot, actually took place, the artillery was dot in the position assigeed to it at the critical moment, and great misfortunes conse quently befell a portion of the army. The result was that, without listining to any excuse from him, without considering his acknowledged gallantry, the Duke of Wellington superseded this unfortunate officer and sent him house. It was only after the greatest entreaty that, in the campaign of 1815, recollecting what this officer , had done in the Peninsula, the Duke of Weilasgton was at last persuaded to forgive him and appoint him to a command, and at the battle of Waterloo he fell glori ously fighting at the head of his batteries. Such was the Duke of Wellington's view of the obedience which should be paid by a soldier to the commands in the first instance' issued to him, and we alt know perfectly well that there was no officer he prised so higl ly in all"his army, or to whom he so readily intrusted the command of a combined movement, as the late Lerd from the fact that there was no man who kept his time more punctually in all such combinations, or upon whom in such matters he could so entirely rely. In this in stance I think General Ashburoharn is fairly justified against all the imputation's which these anonymous slate, derers have brought against him. As a reward for his gallantry in India I may remind your lordships that he was appointed aide-de-camp to hfs Sovereign, and that he also received the Order of the Bath, whicliproves that his conduct in the field must have been satisfactory, or otherwise he would not have been reso nmeaded for these honours. But he did more than exhibit mere gal lantry when acting against the enemy. ± In quarters, as_ weal aa in the field, he showed hitn;elf well capable of serving his Sovereign. He converted one of the towns to which he was sent, from being one cf the dirtiest and Silliest, into one of the best-regulated quar ters. He did more—he cared for the health and won the affections of the troops he bad commanded more than almost any other officer in India. Convinced, therefore, of his professional experience, and of his capa city to superintend troops in hot climates, her Majesty's Government selebted him for the command to which they have appointed him, in which command I hno , ,v be will distinguish himself if an opportunity eller. I think that when general officers are appointed to distant and ice• portant commands, the greatest care should be taken against their being held up to public scorn or premature public approbation. Either way is wrong—shear)—for they are incited to do something whit!' may either main tain the credit which has been prematurely given to them, or which may disprove the accusations wlyeth have been unjustly heaped upon them. (hear, bear.) It is wrong to put an 'officer in such a position. You should not lead his men to expect more from him than his former professional reputation justifies, and than is expected from every British officer. You need .not run him down nor hold him up to the contempt of his*men, for by doing so you weaken his authority. (hear, hear.) I trust, my lords, that Gen. Ashburnha-n will treat these reports which have been made upon him with, I bad al most said, the contempt which they det e ye. I rust that he will show himself 'to be too bigh•miaded a l3iitish Ed. THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE. Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that oa this day fort night he should move a resolution that, in the opiniog of this house, the representation of the house was not in a satisfactory condition, and that therefore the attention of Parliament on the first practicable opportunity ought to be applied to the subject, to render the house a correct representation of the feelings and, interests of the people. (Cheers.) THE COUNTY FRANCHISE. Mr. LOCKE KING gave notice that he should on Tuesday week move for leave to bring in a bill to (tend the borough franchise to counties. (Cheers.) THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that he shoull, on an early day, call the attention of the house to the question of the ballot. (Cheers.) VOTING' AT ELECTIONS. Lord R. CECIL gave notice that on an early day he should move to introduce a bill, empowering the taking of votes in counties and universities by voting-papers. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH—THE ADDRESS. The SPEAKER having read her Majesty's gracious Speech (for which see Lords report), Mr. DODSON, who wore a black Court suit, said—ln rising to propose that an hunible address be presented to her Majesty, in answer to the gracious speech we have just heard read, I cannot but regret that this honour able task has not fallen into the hands of some abler and more experienced member of the house, and one more conversant with the various and important topics ad verted to in that speech. But I derive encouragement from the fact that the house usually extends its kind in dulgence to the members so situated, and from the con sideration teat no shortcomings of mine will impair or interfere with the unanimity with which I venture to hope, the motion will be received. (Hear.) As far as I am personally concerned, I venture to hope that that indul gence which the house in its kindness never fails to ex tend to those who, like myself, address it for the first time will not be withheld from me. (Hear.) Amongst the various subjects mentioned in the speech from the throne which afford grounds for congratulation is one which, I regret to say, forms an exception, and that is the position of affairs at Centel'. On such an occasion as the present I am anxious to avoid all debated or de bateable subjects. On the original merits of the dispute with China I shall therefore offer no observation. But I believe that while both sides of the house concur in regretting the hostilities in which we are involved, both sides also approve of the propriety of the course pursued by her Majesty's Government in sending out, on the one band, reinforcements of troops and vessels of war to the Chinese seas, and on the other band, hi testifying to their readiness to conclude an honourable peace and their anxiety to do justice by sending a plenipotentiary so eminent and BO successful in negotiating as Lord El;in. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, I trust that the policy of this country will always be found to be in accordanco with , the dictates of justice, and only of justice but of forbear ance' and mercy. (Hear.) But when we have to deal with the overweening pride of a semi-civilised nation, reason and experience alike show that forbearance and concession are too often considered to be a mere sign of weakness. (Hear, hear.) I trust that the people and the Government of China will learn before long to 'ulti mate the strength of this country, and to appreciate the motives that actuate her conduct, and that the re sult of the negotiations will be to place our relations with that country on an intelligible and enduring basis. (Hear, hear.) We have been engaged in hostilities with another eastern power, which thought it could brave us with impunity. This house has learned with satis faction that a treaty of peace has been signed in Paris which, I hope, is an honourable one to that country, and ects for which w w i e ll e n n o g t ag fa e i d l t in o s w e a c r u . re t i‘ o le E a a n g w ia h n i ! d e t t h h e o s r e e results of our opera- Lions in the Persian Gulf and our advance into the interior of the country will serve to show that there is no coast so inhospitable, no climate so formidable, and no coun try so inaccessible as t) be secure from British arms, and will spread the prestige of the British name arnong"t the most remote tribes of Central Asia. I venture fur ther to hope that Persia, instead of looking forward to if t ,o h r ro e vt military ni s occupation o ma fgeeHr commerce, whicha andt , w h ai making ea koi afford of late th f facilities for i e l i e yearss. enabled that mode of conveyance to compete sticaess fully, and in some instances to supersede, water carriage, and which bids fair long to restore to the caravan routes of Asia some of their ancient importance. Herat is a place of growing importance. It is not only a centre where commercial an military highways meet and in tersect each other, but an inland Gibraltar which com mands them. With respect to countries nearer home her Majesty gives us the gratifying assurance that peace and harmony prevail, and that friendly relations subsist between her government and those of other European Powers. The main stipulations of the treaty of Paris, we are told, have been fulfilled ; and I may add that their fu:filment reflects credit on the vigour of the adminis tration of this country. (Hear, hear.) The next subject is that of the Sound Dues, which has been settled, whilst the storm-cloud which was gathering over Neuf chatel has been dissipated. I regret to learn that the ne gotiations respecting the state of affairs in Central Ame rica have not yet been brought to a close, but I hops I am not too sanguine in anticipating, both for the sake pf the United States and of this courery, that all danger of war between two nations so intimately connected is st an end. Indeed, such a war wool,' be so detrimental to the interests of the two countries, and So pernicious to their prosperity, that I scarcely exaggerate when I ray that the greatest calamity which could befal either of the countries next to defeat in such a war would be to be vic torious in it. (Hear.) Her Majesty has commanded the estimates to be laid before us, and it is not for me to delay the house by anticipating the measures which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will bring forward ; but I trust ho may be able to realise that combination of eco nomy with efficiency which we all so much desire, and to maintain a high state of the public service in conjunc tion with immunity from oppressive taxation. (Hear.) I tru4 that the financial measures of the Government may b 3 in accordance with the principles of chat policy which, by giving freedom to industry and to capital, has so much contributed to promote that wet'-being and con- : tentraent of the people on which her Majesty has con- UNIFORM WITH.
