It had to our Forei gn R elations. It refei en ce principal l y was chiefly remarkable for the minute and Inas _ terly analysig, successive l y , of the Ro y a l Speech an d the Loyal Address, by the Noble Earl—the imme morial Leader of her MAJESTY'S Opposition ! It was distinguished, moreover, from the customary debates upon the opening of Parliament by the all hat diAloyal eceentricily of an Amendment to the annint Address, proposed each session, as a mere matter of course, in the Peers and UffillTlOng —an Address in each instance simply echoing the Ministerial oration delivered yearly (by way of inaugurating the labours of the Legislature) either by the lips, or in the name, of the Sovereign. The habitual harmony of these august proceedings being jArred in upon discordantly last evenine, by the canal MARPLOT of the Hour—the Pat r i c i an C yn i c —Master of Howick, and ex-Secretary of State fur THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1857 the Colonies ! Earl GREY thought the War with Persia unjustifiable. Of course Earl GREY thought the War with Persia unjustifiable, as he thinks everything in the wide world altogether unjusti fiable which does not happen to originate in the sagacious intellect, and the profound acumen, and the far-seeing patriotism of the Right Hon. HENRYGEORGE, third Earl GREY, Lord-Lieutenant and Custos-Rotulorum of Northumberland—and all the rest of it ! But last evening—going far beyond the more ordinary " bite and snarl" of his fretful rhetoric—Lord GREY indulged his captious and petulant temperament with a luxury a great deal more delightful —more thoroughly and substantially appetising than simply so much waspish taunt and cantankerous ♦itupera tion ! He boldly denounced the conduct of Ministers in advising the Crown to declare war against the SHAH, without first of all consulting Parliament, as—unconstitutional ! He not only declared the War itself to be, in his estimation, unjustifiable, and the policy of which it was ex pressive to beunconstitutional, but he considered the one so unjustifiable and the other so unconstitutional, that he actually went the extraordinary length of driving the House of Lords to a division upon his Amendment ! A division as unusual at the close of a debate upon the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, as the Amendment itself was but very little short of a flagrantly disloyal ' interference with the Prerogative of the Crown ! It was an attempt, however, as abortive in its result, as it was unusual and disloyal in its cha racter. Earl GE.EY'S Amendment being rejected by a majority of thirty-three in a House of fifty seven. The arrow fell blunted—the bullet flat tened—the sword blade snapped off at the hilt every weapon failed, and the assailant was left in a position simply baffled and ridiculous. It is observ able, however, in regard to the prior question involved in Earl GhEv's abortive Amendment, that in the House of Peers not only he himself, hut with him the Earl of DERBY likewise—and that in the House of Commons both Mr. GLADSTONE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL—distinctly pronounced the declaration of - war against Persia to be unconsti tutional, seeing that Parliament had not been previously consulted in regard to that war by the Chiefs of her MAJESTY'S Government ! An augury, we take this to be, of aomething very like (what we have heard of so often during the last two or three Sessions) a factious Opposition. If Ministers were as much in the right upon other questions as they are incon trovertibly upon this question as to the constitu tional or unconstitutional complexion of their policy in regard to Persia, they would have but small reason to look forward with any serious solicitude to the Future. As it is, however, the egregious failure in the present instance, we take it, is mainly, if not exclusively, attributable to the total misdirection of the blow aimed at the Administration. To prove effectual, the bolt hurled against their antagonists by the assail ants of the Government should in reason be driven home, at least, at some vulnerable chink in the Ministerial harness. Upon the next occasion we would recommend Lord GREY to look well—not to the stalwart shield or the adamantine breast plate of the Colossus—but to the Heel of the ACHILLES ! Notwithstanding the studied silence of the Royal Speech on all fiscal questions—notwith standing that the existence of the iniquitous In come Tax, and the intense excitement of the public mind on the interesting subject was completely ignored, and no hint given as to an intended re-. duction or revision of the obnoxious impost, the question was brought prominently before the House, and no less than four notices placed on the books in reference thereto. First in the field came Mr. Arsizr PELLATT, who gave notice that on the 12th instant he would move in a Committee of the whole House, " to reduce the impost from 16d. to sd. in the pound, from the Sth of April next." Major REED, in fulfilment of his volun tary pledge, gave a similar notice for Tues day next, but applying to the entire tax, which he proposes to terminat 3 from the 6th April next ; while Mr. MUNT4 under took, on the 17th, to bring the Property and Income Tax Acts under the consideration of the House. So much for the independent members, who require not merely a reduction, but an ex tensive modification of the law, so as to render the apportionment more equitable—that it may fall on the contributors as nearly as possible in pre portion to their means and position in the country. But a still more formidable challenge has been given. The recognised Leader of Her MAJESTY'S Opposition in the popular branch of the Legisla ture, animated by the new alliance, offensive and defensive, contracted with a quondam, opponent, has flung down his gage of battle, and formally defied the Government to meet him in the Parliamentary arena for a combat a outrance. There are some portions of the brilliant speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman with which we fully and cordially con cur, but others with which we are compelled to differ toto co'lo. It is impossible not to be con vinced, by his admirable argument against the fallacy put forward by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer and his haunchmen of Printing-House square, that no remonstrance is to be offered against a most oppressive and intolerable import until the full amount of the Estimates have been decided and passed. On the other hand, he has flung aside a glorious opportunity, paying dearly indeed for the GLADSTONE auxiliary force, that may prove mere detrimental to the interests of himself and his immediate party than the foreign mercenaries did to Great Britain during the late war. He avowed clearly and une quivocally his epinion that the settlement of 1853 should be adhered to. This indeed is deeply to be regretted. Mr. DISRAELI might triumphantly have appealed to his proposition in December, 1852, recognising a distinction between permanen t and precarious incomes, It was true that he did not go far enough in the course. But the prin ciple once being admitted the rest would have been comparatively easy, and this he has surrendered as the price of Mr. GLADSTONE'S co-operation ! Henceforward there will be two leaders of the party, likethe Kings of Brentford smelling at one nosegay. We fear that Mr. DISRAELI will have bitter cause to regret the compact that secured him the aid of one dangerous as an opponent, but still more formidable as a coadjutor —one who knows nothing of subordination, and who must carry out his own hobbies at any cost. On the first of his intended motions, that taxes granted for the purposes of carrying on hos tilities should not be maintained in peace time, he will obtain the cordial support of the independent members ; and unless timely and ample concessions be made the Go vernment must be left in a minority. On the second he will receive the most strenuous opposi tion from every consistent reformer. As Major REED declared, the reduction of the impost will be but the signal for exertion to obtain the modi fication so urgently required by the people. Sir G. C. LEWIS, if he wish to retain office, must con sent to the unravelling of the red-tapist knot by giving a full and complete explanation of the intentions, in anticipation of the period when he should submit his Budget for the accept ance of Parliament. Silence must be accompanied by d ec i s i ve defeat. May not that evil be averted by a frank and conciliatory policy on the point on which the people have set their hearts, and on which they are determined to obtain satisfaction The paragraph in the Royal Spe ec h res p ec ti ng ently admitted, the law r e f orms so.nr r eci exceedinglyni r e d b e i n v g a , g l a i e s the LDrd Cha nce ll or , —the noble a n d l earned lord explained the nature of those alr ea d y prepared and some others which will speedily be brought forward. The first in order is the Reform of the Testamentary Jurisdiction, which, we trust, will befollowed thei total abolition of the Ecclesiastical Courts-_ tribunals tribunals rthich have long been condemned with singular unanimity by men of all classes, and of every shade and variety of political opinion in the United Kingdom. Indeed, stripped of that which constitutes the most lucrative branch of practice ther3in, it will no longer be worth while to maintain the monopoly. The next is for the purpose of amending the Law of Marriage and Divorce, and the third on the subject of Church Discipline. When these matters are disposed of the doors of these obnoxious Courts may be closed —and they will be remembered with the griev ances of bye-gone days. Our children will wonder at the patience with which the evil was so long endured by their fathers. The Attorney-General is also to introduce a bill in regard to criminal breaches of trust, so as to provide an adequate remedy for acts that have unfortunately become of too frequent occurrence of late years. With recent examples before our eyes we cannot say that stringent measures of repression are not urgently required, and we re joice to find that Sir R. BErizzLL is prepared to grapple with the system, and to oppose some difficulties in the way of fraudulent Directors who may desire to appropriate to their own use the funds confided to their charge for very different purposes. The Commission appointed to inquire into the registration of land has prepared two bills to be laid before Parliament on thesubject. A greater boon could not be conferred on the owners of real estate than a law that would facilitate the transfer or charg ing of their properties. We have long urged these points on the attention of the Legislature, and are happy to find that the subject is at length to be brought forward. Of course it is impossible, as yet, to say whether the propositions will meet the full extent of the evil ; but the mere ventila tion of the subject will be exceedingly beneficial. Sound and unquestionable truths will be elicited during the discussion, and we have no doubt that eventually titles will be simplified, and rendered more secure, and that all proceedings relating to land will be rendered at the same time much cheaper, and far more expeditious than is at pre sent practicable. The Second Report of the Commission for the Consolidation of the Statute Law is to tie refer red to a Select Committee, in order to consider the propositions for the adoption of meais to improve the manner and language of current legislation. This is indeed a much required amelioration. If judiciously carried out, it may avert that crude and hasty legislation so often deplored from the bench and at the bar, and which opposes serious impediments to the whole some administration of justice. Lord ORANWORTH also announced that the Criminal Law Commission has at length succeeded in consolidating the whole of the criminal law, and that bills similar to those which he laid on the table on the last day of the session of 1856 will be introduced for the purpose of effecting that consolidation. This is cheering intelligence, and the nation may rejoice if the important change can be effected within the present year. Tke Home Secretary is also to introduce a bill on the subject of secondary punishments, respecting which so mach excitement prevails in the public mind. We shall, of course, abstain from comment until his propositions are before Parliament and the country. This is an extensive and important programme, but there are still many deplorable omissions. No allusion has been made to commercial legisla tion, the necessity whereof has been so clearly developed during . the recent proceedings of the Law Amendment Society, and by the leading case of " KLNGSFORD and SWINFORD MERRY." His Lordship was also silent as to any amendment of the law of libel, which the case of " DAVISON V. DUNCAN" shows to be imperative. We hope, however, that Lord CAMPBELL, who has already effected so many valuable reforms for the protec tion of public journalists, will direct his immediate attention to a matter which came directly under his own cognisance. There are other matters, also—the law of im prisonment for debt ; the amalgamation of the statutes relating to bankruptcy and insolvency ; the amendment of the Statute of Frauds, to pre vent serious frauds from being effected under cover thereof ; and various other matters, to which our space this day does not permit refe rence. If not attended to by the Government, they will certainly be taken up by independent members; and we can •nly express a hope that their efforts may be assisted by Ministerial aid, in place of being thwarted and defeated, as has too frequently been the case in former times. The King of Sardinia has returned to Turin. The Emperor of Austria will not go to Florence, he returns from Milan direct to A ustria. The widow of the Right Hon. Henry Golbourn died a day or two ago, at Betchworth House, Surrey. The health of the Earl of Harewood continues to im prove. The Earl of Yarborough has been appointed Lord. Lieutenant of Lincolnshire. The Duke and Duchess of Roxburgh and the Ladies Susan and Charlotte Innee Ker have arrived at the Clarendon, from Broxmouth Park, N.B. The marriage of the Lord Alfred Churchill with the Hon. Miss Calthorpe will take place to-morrow, at St. George's Church, Hano►er.square. Miss Ricardo leas returned to Grosvenor•place from Totness Park. We are glad to learn this young lady is recovering from her late serious accident. There i; a whisper in the political sideits of Paris that certain foreign Governments have supplied certain leading members of the Opposition with material to at tack Lord Palmerston's Government on a variety of questions. The French Government will, it is said, defray the whole expense of the sojourn of the Persian Ambas sador in Paris. The Duke of Montebello, a ci-devand Orleanist, is spoke❑ of as the probable successor of M. de Horny at St. Petersburg. Despatches have left Paris, recalling the French troops and French squadron irom Greece. The specie which arrived at Southampton yesterday from the Peninsula amouhted to 45,569/. sterling.

It may confidently be expected that the Sound dues will be abolished in time for the opening of the Baltic navigation in the spring. An American correspondent says, the new treaty with England has been favourably received,and is likely to be ratified by the Senate. Tho guardians of the West London -Union yesterday determined to petition the Corporation for the establish ment of Baths and Washhouses oa the site of Farringd on Market.

THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY BULLION ROBBERY.— Late on Monday evening Mr. Clark, the clerk of the Central Criminal Court, received a communication from Mr. Baron Martin directing him to make out an order upon Sir Richard Mayne for the Turkish bonds that were found in the possession of Pierce, one of she bullion robbers, to be delivered up to Mr. Rees, the solicitor of the South Eastern Railway, in trust for the benefit of Fanny Kay and her child. This proceeding is believed to be quite contrary to the understanding that was come to when the matter was argued in the Court of Exche quer Chamber last week, and it is said that the Corpora tion of London intend to resist the making of the order. HAYMARKET THEATRE, —Mr. Bnckstone announces the last morning performance of the pantomime of " The Babes in the Wood" to-morrow (Thursday).

The French Ambassador here, the Baron de Forth-Rouen, has presented, with great ceremony, the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour to the King of Saxony. The reigning King of Bavaria, Maximilian, has left Munich for Italy. He is to extend his journey to Athens, where he will remain for six weeks. MADRID, FEB. 2. The Queen is now visiting the Southern pro vinces of the kingdom, and it is feared that on her return she will adopt some rigorous measures. The best information, however, leads to the conclusion that these fears are entirely destitute of foundation. News has just arrived that the Neapolitan Government is anxious to resume friendly rela tions with England and France, and that the re presentatives of a great Power at Paris and Lon don have been employed to place the King's proposition regarding the exile of the political prisoners before the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries.

The Prussian government does not at all intend to comply with this demand. From the very commencement of the dispute, the Baden government claimed to be indemnified for all the preparations which the Grand Duchy might be compelled to make, in con sequenee of the projected hostilities." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JAN. 31. Some important changes are about to be made in the military organisation of this Empire. The Arch duke Albrecht, who is at present Governor of Hun gary, will be placed at the head of the Military Central Chancellery, and the Archduke William will probably succeed his brother in Hungary. It is further related that the Archduke Albrecht will, as President of the Supreme Military Commando, have a seat and voice in the Cabinet. A Commission, compared of Hungarians who enjoy the confidence of the Emperor, is now employed in drawing up a statement of the most imperative wants of the pro vince of Hungary. It may be considered certain that a general amnesty will very soon be granted to the Hungarian political offenders. A letter from Vienna, in the IVuremburg Corres pondent, says :—" Ministers have received de spatches from Paris, which describe the prepara tory negotiations taking place, under the auspices of the Emperor Napoleon, between Dr. Kern and the Prussian Minister, Count de Hatzfeld. It ap pears that the conference, which will meet in Paris in the middle of February, will only be called upon to confirm the arrangements concluded in advance." ITALY.

In the sitting of the 30th ult., on the 12th article, which enacts that the Supreme Council of Public Instruction is to be composed of 10 ordinary and five extraordinary Councillors appointed by the King, M. Menabrea moved that the Councillors should be named by election. This amendment was lost after an animated discus s i on . I n th e sit ting of the following day all the paragraphs of Art. 12 were voted but one relating to the salaries of the Councillors, the discussion being adjourned to the following sitting. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS —(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. On the motion of Mr. OLIVEIRA, leave was given for the introduction of various private bills, among them was a bill to enable the Metropolitan Board of Works to make the proposed new street from the Borou g h t o t h e West-end. /Sir. Oliveira, it would appear from this, has succeeded the late Mr. Brothsrton, as the mover of the private bills through the different stages. INCOME TAX. Petitions were presented from Leicester, Stafford, Plympton, Mary, Huntin g d on , B ris t o l, C ar l ow, Newbury, St.okingham, Swansea, Wells, Hackney, and other places, against the property and income tax. THE ADDRESS. Sir J. RAMSDEN brought up the report on the Address in reply to the Royal Speech. On the motion that the Address be read a second time, Mr. HADFIELD complained of the manner in which communications were made to the house in Royal Speeches, and also of the a b sence of any sympathy of feeling being expressed in such documents towards oar colonial fellow subjects. Proper attention was not paid to them, and he instanced the state of India, a vast country, that produced but few raw articles for our consumption, whilst our trade had greatly increased ; and he instanced our neglect of the cultivation of cotton in that country. The necessity of a cheap and plentiful supply of cotton was essentially necessary, when they considered that the increase of our trade since 1852 bad caused the erection of 737 milk and the en largement of others. He called attention also to the want of silk, and the immense sums paid to China for that article. British capital was kept out of India from the 'iccertainty of the tenure of land and the want of a fee simple in that country. Encouragement ought to be given to the manufactures of this country, and he said that the consumption of our mills last year was at the rate of 43,000 bales of cotton per week, whilst at the close of the year there were but 281,000 bales of cotton at Liverpool,'only estuivalent to six weeks' consumption of the mills of the country. The hon. gentleman then referred to our dependence onAmerica, and the evils that might result to our trade from any change of feeling be tween the two countries, and contended that it was as unjust to India as it was unjust and injurious to the trade of this country that facilities were not given for the cultivation of cotton in India. _ Admiral WAL6Origave his commendation to the caution, celerity, and efficiency that had actuated the Government of Bombay with reference to Persian affairs, and bore his testimony to the courage, zeal, and ability displayed by the army and navy in that affair. With regard to the China attack, he considered that Admiral Seymour had used all the forbearance consistent with the circumstances, but he regretted that he had not had a better foe to contend against, for it was very much like using a sledge-hammer with which to crush flies. After some remarks from Sir J. FITZGERALD, Mr. Y. SMITH said that in reply to the statement of the hon. member for Sheffield relative to the growth of cotton in India, he could not add anything to what he said last night on the subject. He was at a loss to un derstand the object and meaning of the hon. member with regard to it, and added that every encouragement was given to its grOwth in that country. It was not the duty of Government to undertake the cultivation of cotton, but give inducements to men of enterprise to undertake it, and that the Government would do. After a few words from Mr. A. KINNAIRD, The Address wa• read a second time and agreed to. JUDGMENTS EXECUTION, &c. Mr. CRA.WFORD obtained leave to bring in a bill to render judgments or decreets obtained in certain courts in England, Scotland, and Ireland, respectively, effectual in any other part of the United Kingdom. KITCHEN AND REFRESHMENT ROOMS (HOUSE OF COMMONS ) On the motion •f Co'. FRENCH, the Standing Corn mittee to control the arrangements 'of the kitohen and refreshment room i❑ the department of the sergeant-at arms attending this house, consisting of Colonel French, Colonel Dunne, Mr. Hayter, Colonel Boldtro, Mr. Archibald Hastie, Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, and Mr. Hume, was agreed to. The house adjourned at half•past one o'clock. The senior prize scholarship at King's College, for general literature, has been awarded to Mr. Ru,/Ison, formerly of Stockwell Grammar•school. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were unchanged, except Egyptians, which were id. per pound dearer. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and 1,800 on speculation. The Rail way Share Market was rather active, and prices had an upward tendency. Accounts from Constantinople, dated the 23d ultimo, state that the Sultan had approved of the proposed Bank, of which Mr. Wilkins is the repre sentative. Notwithstanding the large amount of specie which leaves for India and China to-day, viz., 971,328/., it is expected that the shipment on the 20th instant will also be heavier than usual, and preparations appear to have been already commenced by the continued drain of gold from the Bank of England. About 20,0001. was withdrawn yesterday, and consider able anxiety is therefore evinced for the arrival of the Heather Bell from Australia. She has now been out about $4 days, and is therefore much overdue. There is temporarily an increased demand for money, owing to the payments haying to be made to-day, the " fourth" of the month. In consequence of this additional pressure, rather fuller rates are charged for accommodation, but the supply of capi tal continues ample. The following particulars of the vessels now on the berth for Australia, New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land, &c., has been furnished by Mr. Miller, of the Jerusalem Coffee-house : Teasels. • Tons.

At Manchester there is an increased de mand for goods suitable for India and China, but in other descriptions the business is dull. The woollen markets of Leeds are quieter, but prices are firm. At Nottingham the lace trade is rather inactive, but a change for the better is soon expected. The Board of Trade returns for the month and 12 months ended the 31st December have not yet been issued, being much later than usual. The market for English Securities is decidedly firmer, but the transactions are very limited, owing to the settlement of the speculative ac count, which is proceeding satisfactorily. Soma support has been given to prices by the Queen's Speech, which, on the whole, is considered encouraging. Consols have been 93i and 931 for money and to-morrow, and about 93a for the March account. The new 3 per Cents. are 931 I, the Reduced 931 j, and Long Annuities 2k. Exchequer Bills continue at a pre mium of ls. to 25., and the Bond s are 981 1 . The few transactions reported in the Foreign Market have generally been at fuller prices. Tur kish 6 per Cents. are 93/ to 94, and the 4 per Cents. 101, being both higher. Spanish 3 per Cents., Deferred, are steady, at 23k, and the Certificates at 61 Venezuela Active Bonds are marked 37k, the Deferred 15, and Portuguese 3 per Cents. 44. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 7 ; Mexi can, 211 ; Peruvian, 77 79 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 107 9 ; ditto 4k per Cents., 95 7 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40 01 ; ditto Now. Deferred, 231 24 ; ditto Certificates, 6i ; ditto Passive, 51 6. The Railway Share Market has exhibited rather more firmness, and a general advance of about per cent. may be quoted in the values of the principal line 3. Caledonian have risen 12s. 6d. East Lancashire, ss. to 10s. ; Great Western, 5g.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, ss. to 103.; North-Western, 51.; Mid land, 55.; North-Eastern Berwick, 11.; ditto York, 10s.; and Shropshire union, 10s. The French and Canadian lines are very little dealt in, but quota tions are firm. East India, Madras, and Scinde realise previous values. British Mining Shares rule dull, but one or two of the chief undertakings have been at advanced rates. Devon Great Consols improved about 81. to la For Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there is little inquiry, and quotations show no material alteration. gRITIISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.
