Lord Ebury introduced the deputation, and left Mr. Vance, the chairman of the Railway SliareholdL ers Memorial Association, to state the grievances of which they complained. Mr. Gibson then said that the import ance of this question, or rather series, of questions, was very government, pending any legislative relief they might have great.

(A laugh.) Having expressed his satisfaction at the ,termination of the war, he proceeded : " It is too early to speak to you of the exact conditions of this truce or peace.

(Cheers.) What has been the improve nient in tho Government of the Papal States ? Is it not none Bit, we are told there is to be an Italian Confedera tion of all the States ,under their former rulers, including Venetia, under Austria. That Confederation, including nedmont, is to be subject to the presidency, the honorary presidency, of the Sovereign ',Pontiff of the Roman States. These, are the results to the promised liberty of Italy, from the carnage which, unfortunately, has taken place. Do not understand me to, be pronoiincing any opinion. It would be premature to, do so with respect to the probable, effect, of this. But one result, I think, I can say is mevitable, which is that those friends of liberty, whether • of. liberty in excess or in mederatiOn, but more especially thoSe friends of extreme - liberty, ; whose hopes and expectations have been excited by the interference of France and Sardinia, will be doubly disappointed at the failure which has taken place. Far better would it have been to have held - out no hope's at all, thah by foreign intervention to have encouraged and excited ~those hopes and then to have dashed the cup fo — theground, from the lips of a sensitive people, with all the possible• consequendes of that disappointment. I rejoice that the war, under any circum stances, has stopped where it has been. I give the Emperor of the French the highest credit for the various thotives of ni huanity and poliowhich dictated the he has taken in thus early . putting an _end to the horn war, becanse I believe that a very little more, and the cdn flagration would have extended over the whole 'of Europe, and it isimpoSsible to say at what time the termination of this war would then have taken place. But I say itis a position of affairs which gives room for serious thought and anions consideration for this country. France has now not only a Rowerful mil; but she is continuing to increase its effi-' ciency, and to equip most powerful and most threatening fleets, and which are by no means necessary for purposes of self-defence. France may' safely rely upon her army for her defence, but her powerful fleets must be to the other nations of the world, an t)l)ject, not of self-defence, but of. amgr . essien. I believe'sineerely that the Emperor of the Freiicli is desi rous of maintaining friendly relations with this country; and I earnestly hope they may be maintained. But I say those friendly relations will be imperilled, and those d esires neutralised, 'however much we may wish to remain_ on good terms with France, if, on account of any 'alte parttheor almosttlit of his country, we are ration • of feeling. obliged on : his own to make super human efforts which we are making, and 'must con tinue to make for the purpose of .keeping our navy i n that state of complete preparation which is essential to the very existence of the country. (Hear, hear.) I say we desire to remain at peace, and that desire, I am sure, is shared in by the present Government ; but the position of France . at this moment, with her powerful army, with a large and increas, ing navy, and the military spirit and excitement awakened in the people, ' whatever may • be the personal objects and wishes of the Emperor, this, state of things must disturb' the friendly relations which should exist be- , - tween us, and may lead to a war which must be seriously injurious to the happiness of all classes of the . people of this country. (Hear.) I look with anxiety but with con.. fidence to my countrymen that they will not suffer this. or , t o to s p l l a n e c k e e At this n i s e t h o n o n s e t r 3 e . ff o o n r t s a f w o h o t i i c n h g a r o e imperatively f any other Government perfect security. (Hear, hear.) H owever much' I may ernni ssa eni trust in the good feeling, the good wishes, and the good policy of the Emperor of the French, I echo the good senti ment which was uttered the other night by my ' illustrious and venerable friend' Lord Lyndhurst, that whatever con fidence I may have in others, I will not consent to .1 - ‘ . - lent f- of their opponents. They had been desirous to mai strict neutrality between the contending,parties in the and he vindicated the conduct of Lord Malmesbury in refc elide to foreign affairs, than whom no man had been more pr ( rancorously or industridusly defamed.

He then reminded his audience that it was not safe nor wise to trust too much to continued opposition between the two branches of the legislature, and that if Conservative prin ciples'were to be efficiently maintained in the 'country, it was in the house of Commons and not in the House of Lords that they must str;- them.
