The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wediack at five o'clock. CHINA. The Earl of CARNARVON wished to ask a ques tion of the noble earl, the President of the Council. Be bad seen it stated in the daily papers that at the time the hat mail left China, Admiral Seymour was throwing red-hot shot into Cantoq. He wished to know whether the Government had received any such intelli gence. Earl GRANVILLE said there was not reason to suppose that the Admiral commanding in China had proceeded to any such extremities. Lord DERBY gave notice that on Tuesday ho should move the resolution of which he had given notice. He was not at the present moment able to state the exact terms of the resolution, but it would contain expressions of regret at tie lhostile steps which had been taken in China, and which were not justified by the circumhtanc_s of the case. CONSOLIDATION OF THE LAW. The Lord CHANCELLOR said he intended, ruxi week, to lay seven bills for the consolidation of the cri minal law on the table. Similar bills were prepared before their lordships broke up last year, and were laid upon the table, but as they referred only to parts of England and Ireland, it had been determined to send them ova to Ireland. On the return of the bills it was found extremely difficult to include in one bill clauses to meet the whole of the different offences. When persons found fault with the Statute Law Commission ho only wished 'they could see one-tenth part of the difficulties with which they were beset. It had been found abso lutely necessary by the Commissioners, who were una nimously agreed upon the point, to begin 'their labours by, from the very last year, and proceed section by sec tion through the statute book, to discover what statutes remained in force in order to consolidate them. Lord BROUGHAM defended the Statute Law Com missioners from the attacks that had been made upon them. It was not the fault of the Commissioners that this digest was not prepared before. He was afraid it was the fault of the constitution itself. The noble and learned lord then bore testimony to the extraor dinary efforts and great disinterestedne s of Mr. Bellen don Kerr to further the objects of the Commission. CHIEF CONSTABLES. Viscount DUNGANNON asked the President of the Council if it was intended by the Home Department permanently to rescind the rules relative to the qualifi cations of persons to be chosen as chief constables in the several Counties of England and Wales, as respects their age not exceeding 45 years, and their not Navin; been declared bankrupts, or never having passed through the Insolvent Court. Lord HARROWBY was understood to say that a bill had already been introduced in the other house on the subject by the Secretary of State for the Home Department. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Lord REDESDALE rose to move the following re solution :—" That this house will not receive any peti tion for a private bill after Monday the 23d of March next, unless such private bill shall have been approved by the Court of Chancery, nor any petition for a private bill approved by the Court of Chancery after Tuesday, the 19th of May next ; also that this house wilt not receive any report from the judges upon petitions presented to this house for private bills after Tuesday, the 19th of May next. The resolution was agreed to. LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

In answerTHto E ARCTIC EXPEDITION. a que e s d tion from Sir D. L. EvANs, Sir C. WOOD efat that as soon as the Government had come to a determination whether or not they would send out another expeditionsearch of Sir J. Franklin, ho would inform the house, ino if in t the affirmative a vote would be taken in th e new estimates. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS BILL (SCOTLAND). Mr. BAXTER asked the Lord Advocate, if ecat , •f he t e nded to bring in a bill this session extending to in tended to counties the provisions of the Registrations of Voters Bill, passed last year for the B urg h s ; and also, if it was his in tention to introduce a P olice Bill for , Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE said that bills would shortly be introduced on both subjectq. THE IVIEG.,ERA TROOP-SHIP, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what was the cause of the detention of the Megmra troop ship at Portsmouth after the time fixed f or h er sa ili ng f or the Mauritius with troops ; whether it was t rue th a t, shortly after she sailed, she sprung a dangerous leak, which would probably have caused the loss of the ship had the accident occurred at a greater distance from land ; whether the repairs which the Megaera is now again undergoing at Ply mouth aro such as will enable the Admiralty to feel confident that she will be in a fit state to convey 400 or 500 of her Majesty's troops to so distant a part of the world. Sir 0. WOOD said that the cause of the detention of the Megmra arose from the officer commanding her hav ing miscalculated the time it would take to get her in order for the troops. It was not true that she sprang a leak, but it appeared that two small screws at the bottom of the vessel were not fastened as they ought to have been, and the consequence was the water came in, but only in so small a quantity that with an ordinary hand bucket she might have taken a voyage round the world, rut. SUN, LOND'ON, TUESDA Y EVEN r..NG, FEBRUARY 17, 1857 -- These holes had been stopped, and she was now in a fit state to convey troops. Lord A. V. TEMPEST asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if a similar circumstance did not happen to , the ship when taking troops to the Cape ? He bad re ceived a latter from a person who was on board the vessel when she put back to Plymouth at variance with the First Lord of the Admiralty's statement. (Cries of ‘f Order.") Ett,4 lordship, to enable him to read the con tents of the htter, moved the adjournment of the house. The letter stated that the ship had only been to sea two days when she sprang a leak, and had three feet of water in the cabin. The motion having been recorded, Sir C. WOOD said that he had made his statement on the report forwarded to the Admiralty. Major S. KNOX also put a question to the First Lord of the Admiralty relative to the state of this ship. The motion was then withdrawn. INCOME TAX. Mr. MUNTZ postponed his motion relative to the ,neoine tax to this day fortnight. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR. Mr. J. G. PH ELLIMORE asked the Solicitor- General whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to bring forward any measure founded on the report of the committee of last session on the appoint- ment of a public prosecutor. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said ho was not in a position to pledge the Government to the introduction of such a bill. The introduction of such a measure must greatly depend on the state of public business. THE LORCHA. ARROW. Viscount GODERICH asked the First Lord of the Treasury,',. whether it be true that the case of the lorcha Arrow is not the only one in which the authorities of Canton have recently seized or entered upon boats sail jog under British colours, or furnished with a British register ; and, if so, whether he will lay upon the table of the house any papers relating to such proceedings; and also, whether he will have any objection to lay before the house any instructions which may have been sent by the Home Government to Sir John Bowring on his appointment as Governor of Hong-Kong, or at any sub sequent period previous to October last, on the subject of the exclusion of the British authorities and merchants from the city of Canton. Lord PALMERSTON said that the papers that had already been presented to the house relative to the China war distinctly showed that o❑ two former occasions birches had been molested by the Chinese, and that the papers also showed what steps had been taken by Sir J. Bo wring on the subject. There would be no objection if the house wished it to lay the instructions referred to on the table of the house, and he (Lord Palmerston) would undertake that it should be done. THE TWO SICILIES. Mr. COCHRANE asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether the Neapolitan papers presented to Par liament comprise all the despatches from Lord Clarendon to the British Mission at Naples between the 19t,h May, when her Majesty's Government recommended the Government of the Two Sicilies to grant a general amnesty, and October the 10th, when the British mis sion was instructed to leave Naples ; also, at what period and on what conditions her Majesty's Government in tended resuming diplomatic relations with the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Lerd PALMERSTON said, in answer to the first question, that the papers presented to the house did not contain all the despatches that had been sent to the British Mission at Naples, but only such as bore on the matters for which the papers were presented. He must answer the second question by asking the hon. gentle man another question, viz., if he had full power from the King of Naples to put the question ! (Laughter.) Be cause, if so, he had better apply to Lord Clarendon in Downing-street rather than in that house. He thought the Louse would agree with him that this was not a pro per place to enter on the subject. (Hear, hear.) THE RESOLUTE. Mr. ROEBUCK said that it was currently reported that the " Resolute" Arctic ship that had been fitted out by the American Government, and presented to this country, had been put into dock and pulled to pieces. He wished to know from the first Lord of the Admiralty if it were true, and if so, why it had been done? (Hear.) Sir C. WOOD said that his answer must necessarily be short though not the less satisfactory, viz., that it was not true that the Resolute was being dismantled. THE BOMBARDMENT OF CANTON. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the First Lord of the Treasury, if it was true that Admiral Seymour used red-hot shot in the bombardment of Canton, and if there were any papers or dispatches referring to it, if he would present them to the house. (Hear, Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said that there was no foun dation for the report. The Chinese set fire to some of the Hongs; A number of the Chinese congregated is the spaces between them, and in order to disperse them Admiral Seymour threw some shot amongst them, but not red hot shot. COLONIAL SHIPS REGISTERS. In answer to a question from Mr. WALPOLE, Mr. LABOUCRERE said that the Government had laid on the tail) of the house the papers relative to co lonial ships regi,ters. MR. SUEEPSHANKS' PRESENT OF PICTURES. Mr. G. VERNON asked the First Lord of the Trea sury to lay on the table of the house the correspondence that had passed relative to Mr. Sheepshanks' present of pictures to the nation. Lord PALMERSTON acceded to the application. The country were deeply indebteel. to Mr. Sheepshanks for his valuable present. THE IRISH FISHERIES. Mr. M‘MAIION snored for leave to bring in a b 11 to w7similate the law as to the sea-coast fisheries of Ire land to that of England. Mr. HORSMAN, on the part of the Government, gave no opposition to the introduction of the bill, but if, the bill was identicallj the same as that the house had repeatedly rejected, it was a question for the house to decide. Sir G. GREY said that if the Government gave their consent to the introduction of the bill, they reserved the right of opposing its details if they found it necessary.

(From the ) What is the difference between the solitary con finemen tto which the King of Naples has con demned his prisoners of State, and that solitary confinement to which he has condemned himself ? In the dungeon of the prisoners there may well he found m.orestiffering of body, but in the Royal dun geon there is assuredly far more anguish of mind. We know what manner of place is Montesarchio, in which Poerio is confined, with a hacking cough, with blindness imminent, and with the fell hand of consumption already busy with the more vital parts of his exhausted frame. There lie lies, poor man, with his chain upon him, and the Neapolitan Mo narch will not lighten them by a single link. The prison, we are told, is very damp, the vaults are deep, the windows narrow, the cells without venti lation or fresh air. Judges, advocates, writers lie chained near each other, though apart. One of them is motionless from rheumatism, another is struck with paralysis, several are afflicted with con sumption ; but they wear their chains when dying, they wear them still when dead. Let them but utter a word or a groan, and they are summarily cast into the reeking underground vaults and chained to the floor. This is but a sorry state of things, and yet it is much to be doubted if the King who keeps his fellow-creatures in such sufferings might not envy the condition of the most suffering among his prisoners. If the reports we receive from Naples be true King Ferdinand is constantly in terror lest the assassin's knife should catch him un awares. For this reason he avoids the capital city of his dominions ; for this reason ho refuses to tra vel by the railway, lest treason should reach him there in some new and startling form. He seeks to secrete himself in bis remoter palaces, and to avoid all contact with those upon whom his pre sence falls like a shadow. Nor can it be said that apprehensions are destitute of foundation. No one can know as well as himself the dark secrets that lie hid behind that scowling brow and within that unfeeling heart. Who could tell so truly as King Ferdinand himself the fearful extent of the vengeance he has provoked ? For a moment, at the review, when the assassin dealt him the stab which was meant to be fatal, ho seems to have acted with courage and self-possession. It is, however; one thing to pass with decency through a danger which is at an end almost as soon as it exists, and quite another to spend long nights lis tening for the stealthy footstep, and staring hard for the shadow of the ,uplifted hand against the wall. The King is well aware that danger is around him on every side ; sometimes a ship, sometimes a powder-magazine blows up near where he is, and no man can say how it came to pass. The ground is mined beneath his feet, and lie knows it. In whom can he put his trust ? His Swiss Guards may preserve what is called the public tranquillity, but they cannot guard him from the unseen death which is ever present to his mind's eye like the pillar of smoke by day and the pillar of fire by night. He can have no confidence in his own native troops. They inspire him, probably, with more terror than any other clat , s of bis subjects. Now it is necessary to put one regiment, and row another under surveillance. They cannot be trusted at all events. Such being the state of things at home, whither can he turn to look for support from abroad? There is not one of the leading nations oflEurope which has not addressed to him earnest remonstrances upon his reiterated barbarities. There is not one of them which does not regard his reign as a revival of the worst times of the old Roman Emperors as far as his power extends. It is no wonder that it should be so, and we must ever regard it as one of the most afflicting proofs of the fallen condition of Italy that such a power can be supported by the strong arms of a few mercenaries from the Swiss mountains, and by the blackguard Lazzaroni of the capital. Is it that there is something in that impulsive cringing Southern race which delights in the union of cruelty and power, although every one in turn may feel the lash of the gaoler upon his own back—the halter of the executioner upon his own neck ? We gather froth the communications made by Mr. Petro to Lord Clarendon that he believes the order given to Captain Acuti, the ex-Commandant of Procida, to inflict 50 strokes each upon 54 of the prisoners really did emanate from the King himself. Con ceive an English Sovereign taking delight in ap portioning the exact numbr of stripes which should be inflicted upon any of his enemies who might have fallen into his power. We need not, however, insist upon this part of the case. The atrocities which have been perpetrated on the King's behalf in the State prisons of Naples and the Islands are so incredible, so degrading to human nature, that the meanest wretch in the British Islands may, when lies he down to rest, humbly thank his Maker that he is not as Ferdinand, King of the Two Sici lies. But, admitting all this, it may bo urged in argument, what had to do with the sufferings of the Neapolitan people ? Why should we thrust ourselves into concerns with which we had no direct interest I —or, having gone so far, why did we not go further ? The King of Naples has been enabled to treat the two greatest Powers in Europe with contempt, because they uttered threats which they hesitated to carry into execution. We much question if the King of Naples has really had any such feeling as is imputed to him • at any rate, his acts appear to wear a very Afferent complexion. Nothing more abject or fawning can well bo conceived than the note which M. Carafa wrote on i the 28th of August, by his master's direc tion' to do ,away with the effect of his former petulant communication. The French and English embassies are gone. By recent advises we are in formed that the King of Naples has actually adopted measures by which he hopes to get rid of his poli tical prisoners, and procure his own readmission into the comity of nations. So long as the remen • strances of the great Powers were inerely.remou strances, we heard nothing even of so extremely modified an act of clemency as the deportation of the State prisoners from their fetid dungeons to the interior of South America. The greatest Power in Europe cannot sustain political isolation for any considerable time, and how much less a little paltry kingdom like that of the Two Sicilies. We deny, then, that the demonstration involved in the with drawal of the French and English missions has been unattended with effect. Still less can it be doubted that we had a perfect right to carry inter ference up to that point. If the King of Naples would continue to administer the internal affairs of his kingdom in so barbarous a fashion, and his subjects had not the spirit to withdraw their necks from the yoke, at any rate we were not obliged to stop and look on. There can be no reason why an English Minister should be maintained at Naples to listen to the groans from Montesarchio, and to hear the appalling screams of the poor wretches who were receiving the " King's allowance" in Procida. If evil resulted from all this to the sta bility of Ferdinand'stbrone he had nobody to blame for it but himself. The correspondence relating to the affairs of Naples has just been presented to both Houses of Parliament by the Queen's command. In these State papers the whole progress of the affair is traced from May 19 of last year, when Lord Claren don first desired Sir W. Temple to remonstrate with the Neapolitan Government, until the 15th of November, when Prince Carini, the Neapolitan Ambassador in London, received his passports and his conge. It is impossible to read these papers without seeing that it was eriginally the intention of the English Government to push matters to a . sharper extremity than has actually been done. It must be remembered, however, that we were not ' acting alone in the matter, and are sometimes com pelled to accept the drawbacks in return for the ad vantages of a powerful and honoured alliance. Nor should it be forgotten that, in consequence of the political complications which ensued upon the mis understandings about the Treaty of Paris, this country and Austria were drawn together far more closely than has been usual for some time past. The consequence was that one of the perils which were most apprehended when these remonstrances were first addressed to the King of Naples passed in n s e ur ve r in bl 0 beneath ltaly b became a m our e anfee feet—and m paonsa sibili ty , and therefore the justification for interfe rence in the internal affairs of Naples passed away too. There is, however, one ground for interference a w w h a ic y l: co A ul n d never crumble that is the ground of humanity. We can never regret that the Governments of France and Eng land solemnly marked their disapproval of all those hideous scenes which are enacted in the dungeons of the Neapolitan King ; and the sternest reasoner can scarcely maintain that we are bound to keep an official representative at Naples when his very presencewould e construed into a tac it sanction of sueh atrocities. APPREHENSION OF A GANG OF BURGLARS.—Tvro men and two women were on Thursday brought t efore the Earl cf Darnley and the other magistrates at Ro chester, charged with having entered the d welling-house of Mr. Stephen Collison, farmer, at Staplehurst, on the night of the Bth inst., and stolen therefrom three sides of bacon, some hams, a double-barrelled gun, a n d other articles. The prisoners gave the names of James Miller, W. Green, Mary Anne Haselton, and Cordelia Greensted. Superintendent Everist informed the rna. gistrates that he had received information which left no doubt that the prisoners wero implicated in numerous other burglaries. They were remanded. The continuance of the appeal from the Arches Court, Liddel v.
