Lord P.w.IP.IL,ToN assured the hon. member that the policy of the Government was not influenced by the religion of the members of the Cabinet, but by higher motives.

If we allowed France to take out subjects in this may, we must allow other nations to do. the same. He blamed the treaty as . bindiaz France to do nothing beyond 'what she was already bouad to do.

He trusted that before the treaty was, signed,adistinit Understanding Would be introduced, pledging ,Frandt not tOearry,ol the exportation of negrons Afrita. Lord J. RDS3ELL admitted that there Was much cause: fOr hesitation with respect to this treaty—it arose out of the representations made to France against her exporta tion of negroesond the counter representation of France. They 'ended in 'Vie agreeing to allow France the same privileges in the eiportatimi of coolies as those,posS6-7secl by ourselveS. It was found that, the Coolies in the Mauritius had greatly improved in every way—the . exportation differed essentially from the slaVe ttale=r -7.-hen one nation..made war on another to otaifi. staves. Ile had, therefore, seeing the advantage this nation had obtained, agreed to aLost to France the privilege of the exportatiell, of CoOlies. At the same time, he adinitted that there were many disadvantages, as compared With this exportation to our own Colonies, where they were subject to British control. Their Chief object in agree ing,o the treaty Alas to, put an end to the o oritral:,t lino which the French Government had catered for the supply of labourers front the African coast. •Ile had no objec tion to . prodace the PaperS demanded by the motion. After some remarks from Mr. Kiunaird, the motion ,was agreed te.7 DYNG than, amid the cheers of the party,, rose to move that an humble address be prosented her ,Majesty, to assure her Majesty that, having considered ' the Treaty of Conimerce concluded between. her Majesty and the Emperor of the French, this it ()Aso begs leave to-approach - her - Majegtrwith their sincere aiid grateful acknONiledgMents tot, this' rieW phof of lies Majesty's desire to prOmote the welfare and happiness of her subjects; to assure her Majesty that we shall proceed to take such ; steps as may be, necessary for giving a systent which, we trust, will promote a ben6llolot intercourse between Great Britain. and Prance, tend to the expansion of trade and manufacture, and giVe 4ditional security for the'continaance of,theblessings.of, peace. After quoting previous instances to sheWthat he was Pursuing an admitted precedent, he observed that it was impossible.te separate, the polit;cal and Commereial,bearings or the treaty. He praised , theloreign policy of the Government as at once temperate, conciliatory, and firm ; while warmly approv ing the policy of non-intervention, it did not, he said, interfere with, the extension of our commercial relations With other countries. Questions of Scvpy had been mixed .up with the treaty', and on this head he declared his opinion that the interesti of the OOnetry were in Oaf& and trustworthy , hands. Ite approved the - treaty, because on our side it was another step ht, the. direction of 6ee-trade and the simplification of our tariff. He denied that 'the negotiation for the treaty had been entered into in the spirit of barter or ba.r,gaiti. It was not strictly a treaty, of reciprocity, but it was one never theless for the benefit of other nations. The very fact that the treaty' was not received with enthusiasm on either side of the Channel, was to his mind, a proof. of the impartiality.. He replied to the objections to the coal article of the yeaty,.observing that Vallee could get coal, ; if necessary, from other countries, and that the , fears-ttf--th(f failure of - the were like those of the . - - r r people bit La:Pinta,' who Were in constant terror lest the rays of, the sun, ~she uld 1 - fa if , them. He passed a warm eulogium.on the - eouseqUence 'of the treaty to ntantifil, and on the patriotism, and saerifices of Mr. Coblen in negotiating it; 'lle asked the Muse not to let 'individual discrepancies of opinion interfere with the united:expres . Sion of approval of so gretit,and useful a measure uniting two great nations in a common b on d of retiprtitai interests. . , „, ; Mr. E. BArrins steonded the motion: He declared that all the great branches of industry in the north and midland counties' warmly approved the treaty, and showed that our exports to France, and the amount of our intercourse, was initheasurcably bele* what was intended by nature, and what it might be for the mutual benefit of both nations., The present • treaty was the sloe of forty years of commercial reform, from which . the country had benefitted so largely. The. experience of those years was such as to show that they might take 'the final, step with perfect safety. . . - ' Mr. LlNDsxy said that reference, in support o f th 6 treaty, had often been made to the treaty of IMI, which nevertheless was a stronger treaty than the present, and' was. in foaryearS followed by a war. ..lle felt bound to g i ve his best support to carrying through the treaty,' though short of what he should have desired, as placing' the people' of this country in a better p os iti on. But he • must call attention to the third article, and the differen ,tial duties it contained, which 'he said, was unfair to . British shipping,. and -unfair to'France herself. Whil e the trade of France ,had greatly increased of late years, her shipping 'had declined, owing to her narrow-minded poliey., If the ,treaty-was carried out,.a4 he trusted it ,would be, it vriis absolutely necessary th a t a c h ange should be Made in the French navigation laws, in con sequence of the increased .communication between the : two countries, as a greater reciprocity should he obtained.• But he would' not,' as' he had originally intended„ move an amendment embodying his views, because if carried' it minlit affect the treaty, and it 'not it might inftire the object he had in view. He should therefore accept' the offer some time since made by the Government, to use their best.efibrts , to have the matter put to rilits. 11ix.

He ended"byeharacterising the treaty as one:sided; _ imper fect, and faulty,' against which many ,of the most impor tant interests of the country had urged such manifold objections: Still he admitted that more injury would be . done by refusing than by passing the treaty, and he, for one, would not take the responsibility df the former'etothe, Mr. M.

A letter was read from Mr. Wain, the Law-clerk to the Birkenhead' Coniinissioners, stating that the commis shlners would find it more convenient that the author rised sea Wall tcrenclose 'the north landin'g, slip should be constructed 'at the same time•with the other works, and that the site of the graving dock should be changed, The CIIA.IRALIN explained that the authorised plan was altered at the request of the commissioners, and the pre sent proposal was to a certain extent' reverting back to the original plans. Mr. ,11. RILE !said the circumstances were shortly these. By the act of Parliament, the board were to make at Birkenhead 'certain 'walls and a graving dock. .The'eminnissioners of Birkenhead after Wards that they. could do, the wall and the graving dock, and the board were asked to suspend that part of ,thework. They had Ito*, however, reverted back to the parliamentary plan which they set out. with. . The.CHAIHMAN said the altered plan would have been a considerable saving to the dock estate,' and in con• sideratien of that they had given a piece'of land to the commissioners. Having now reverted to the original plan, the 'expense would not be greater than, was originally intended. Me.Buociti,EPANK said a clause bad been'putinto the pre;ent act. of Parliament, authorising the board to :Janda those particular works now demanded ; but if the present request was complied with, that would have tq be erased hem the bill altogether. gt, gum, thought the proposal would involve the pulling up of an amount of work already completed. Mr, BARTLEY explained that no part' of the work,to, be altered Was yet commeaeed upon. Mi. Gu.A.VEs wished to know whether any concession had actually been made ,to the Commissioners in consi deration of the alteration in the plans'.' "• Mr, Itorri,ti said it was intende& to give them small piece, of, land in consideration, at the top end of the. Float, for a gridiron. That would now, however, revert to the Dock Board. Mr. LAIRD said it should he understood that it was ,proposed to substitute for the graving dock a gridiron; ,but it was found it would be iinpossible to get vessels' ',under the bridges of the landing-stage to the gridiron. 'He -begeied the expellee of the work would be consi derably reduced, compared . with what they were now (bound to carryout by the act of Parliament. Without /the:eOnsent of Parliament the original plans could not be departed from, and Price's trustees had petitioned against the present bill on that ground. The letter was referred, to the Works Committee. SEEMS CLAIM UPON THE DOCK BOARD. A letter from Mr. Charles Mason, trattic manager of the Birkenhead Rail tvii:y Company, was read. The letter enclosed the company's account against the li t• c.)3oard for extraordinary expenses incurredin working the goods traffic, o f the company, between the 24111 Septemberand , the 31st December, 1859, amounting to £829 12,... od.

Now, as I had been, informed that we • would be Stoppeu at the gates for examination of the luggage and sic-like, the French folkbeing sic inveterate smugglers and rogues that a son would cheat hie father, I theilght it right to gather myself up; '"for," thinks I, "ae linen is scarce •ia' these parts, Wha kens but they may take a fancy to my sDirts.?'' ..13ut came the ports, no a soul - was there, not even a policeman. map Atm 'standing wide open, the guardhouse, was clean deserted; and for aught I could see, the great city.of Paris might have 'been as empty as•Edinbyrgh in the hinder end of August, when the grass grows. thick in the squares, and the only living • things ye eripounter, are a *can niffering a bawbee for grossarts wi' an old woman at a stall. But for a' that, it was evident that something by ordinar was ga'en on inside; for cannon began to .bag, no as our folk fire, regular, ; and . precisely, on the • King's birthday, but clap after clap, as: if the guns had been double barrelled,. and whiles I thought I could hear a kind of roar, maist terrible and . gruesome, like the backdraught of a mighty sea. The French folk that were wi' me in the' diligence began to cock their lugs, and to look queer and rheard• them I jabbering to ane . anither in a quick, raised, jerky kind o' way : but what it was they said I eouldna understand, for I hae nae knowledge of their parley woos. Weel— on gaed the, coach, the,sound of the cannon aye 'growing louder and louder, and very s o on it was min 3 led,with ia brattling that I kent to be the discharge of musketry ; and I said to mysel', though ' I eariu7t assert tli'at- I was altogether without. misgivings,. " Na.e, dotiVf fit' will be a military review, and the folk that, .-shlstildz hie lookit . after the gate will hae gave in to see the ploy !" But, my certie !if ,Wasna lan afore, I fand out my error; for nae sooner did we turn a corner, than the diligence, was beset by two or three hund re d black a-vised scoundrels, maist o' them in blue' shirts aboon their otherclaes; and in a jiffy they had cut the traces, ta'en away the horses, and signed to us prisSengers to come out. The Frenchnien that were inside spanged like bullocks out of a pail o' het water, but dell a bit would I badge without my pockinanty. Then !they tried to pu' me out,' neck and heels ; but I made I fecht wi' my umbrella, sand gaed a chield a paik I below the ribs that doubled him up like a carpenter's I rule. Sae theY just let me sit where I was drawing the 'diligence broodside to the street; and in twa minutes time they had jammed it wi' carts and barrels .filled wi' paving stanes, and many other kinds o' lumber, sac . that a cat could hardly hae eruppen out; and an unco terror came over me, , for I thought they were going to bury me alive. But that was a vain imagination; for presently I hears a loud skelloch ameng the blackguards.that were scrambling on the top, and down they slid like spiders; and then I saW, what in the perturburation of my mind I hadna observed at first;' that' ilka one them had a gun,. and a gay wheal ' - o' 'them baygonets stuck. inte the muzzle. Now, if there is ae thing I detest mair than auither, it is the sight,of a gun, for I have been a peaceful man Via' my days, and never handled powther since I was a laddie at school, and burnt my fingers with a pluff ; sae, you may weel imagine 'What was my state o' mind when the vagabenes began to take aini• as it were through the windows n' the. diligence, and .me sitting inside : I looked up the• street to see if there was any chance Of escape in that direction, for I felt as if I could have tied for refuge to the utterintist parts of the earth ; but what -think 3.=e I saw there ? ,Naething less than a hail regi ment o' Seldiers chargiag down upon me ! I had just time to clap down on•thefloar, and was beginning to say a bit o' a prayer, When pash gaed ae Millet 'Clean through the woodwork, and then a perfect volley ; and 'I , land that I . was' in the very centre, of what they called a barricade, that the soldiers and the mob were fighting, and that I lay between their shots: How king that lasted I canna say, for I clean .lost my judgment and my senses. • I hae, a •kind o', indistine recollection that I howled like a pointer dog tied up in a strange stable, and tried to cover myself up wi' the straw that was lying in the bottom o' the. coach, • but , I ken neething meir., and when I came to mysel' the. firing :was done, and maist feek . o' the 'mob had disappeared. The telt me aftW wards that the soldiers • had. been defeated at that barricade, and sure enough there 'was a halide o' them, pair chields ! lying dead and bloody in the street, but I caredna which had , the better, sac that I could make ' 'my escape out of that accursed coach.. Sae, finding that the tiring was over, I lifted up my head, and gave is halloo that might be heard the hail leugth'of the,Tron gate of Glasgow. Presently it N‘,•iis':atisivered ; 4nd'after muckle wark, two ill-looking rogues, with kniveSip their belts', whom I jaloused to he butchers, got die door open, and harled me out. Thankful I was to beniten for that blessed deliverance; and no a little glad, moreo ver, to find my pockneanty, though there' were nae less, Iran three holes in it. 1. may tell ye that, afterwards, 7 when my I came hame, I found a bull e t sticking in sue o folded shirts just at the pla c e where my breast would have been if' I h a d it on , whichl could not regard a.• oth4 than a special providence.-,--"Sorman Sinclair," in Blacl,leaact.y Mr. yazi3c.
