HOUSE OF COMMONS.

MONDAY.—The House met after the Faster recess.—
Mr. Adair brought up a report from the Lisburn
Election Committee to the effect that on the 22nd of
March the committee thjourned to the /oh of April, in
°thulium's of the ill health of Mr. Stirling Mr.
Stirling's mednel attendant was called to tM IStr, and
steed that that gentleman was unable to attend on the
committee. Mr. Adair then moved that Mr. Stirling
be discharged from further attendance. Mr. Hunt
opposed the motion, and contended that the committee
bad vitiated all its proceedinga by adjourning to the sth
April, instead of the 4th, the first day of the meeting
of the House after the ream. Some discussion
Followed, and at length, on the suggestion of Sir G.
Grey, the report of the committee was ordered to be
printed, and taken into consideration to-day. Mr.
Berktley gm notice that he should tiring forward his
bstlot motion shortly after Whitsuntide. In reply to
Mr. B. Othorne, Led Pahnereton said all the Powers
who signed the Treaty of 1852 had consented to send
representatives to the conference on Danish affairs.
The German Diet had no; yet answered the Invitation
sent to it. The object of the conference was the re-
Aeration of peace, but an armistice as • preliminary
was not insisted upon. Mr. Standeld, who spoke from
the wooed bench below the gangway on the Miaisteri&l
side, announced that he had sent in his resignation of
office as Junior Lord of the Admiralty to the Prime
Minister. Rabid reason to fear thitt he bad humus
seethe of embarrassment to the Ministry, end therefore
he felt it due to himself and to them that be should
resign. He preferred to meet the attacks which might
be made upon him there alone rather than on the Go-
vernment lunch, sheltered beneath the egis of the
First Weider. He entered into explanations in refer-
ence to his connection with Masslni, and again avowed
lab invietion that that individual was incapable of the
odious criminality which had been laid to his *barge.
He had long bad • deep sympathy with the object of id.
Massini—the unity and independent* of Italy—bet
sometimes he had thought his views Is.. wise than they
were sanguine. He denied, first generally, and then
speificelly, that he had any knowledge of the plots
pfnat the Emperor of the French. After these ex.
atiens he mit himself on the Home and the country.
In order that there might be an opportunity for diues-
aim& he moved the adjournment of the House. Lord
Palsiudon said his bon. friend had this time left him
no option about refining his resignation. He expressed
great regret at losing his undone& and added
that he was pertain every one who knew the
bon. gentleman would be convinced Oat be
was incapable of taking part in plot' such as
those which had been spoken of, He wee sure that
Mr. Litaasfeld attached the am* value to the welfare
and personal eaf-ty of the Emperor of the Frontal as
any man In the House attached to it. The hoe. gentle-
man, he was convinced, wait erosible Mut the perunal
security and the dynastic welfare of that great
Sovereign were ant only of the utmost value to the
loyal and ailiabed people over whom he governed, but
were einalyeesentiel to the general intonate of Swope.
The motion far the scflostrtenent was then withdrawn,
and the matter dropped.—The House then west into
committee of supply on the navy estimate& On the
vote for naval stores, Mr. C. Berkeley celled etisetlion
to the number of ships white had been removed from
the effective let of the navy sines tat February. 1853.
A general dissuasion followed on the eta** of the rusty.
Mr. Corry considered our fleet of twenty-five armour-
plated shim altogether insufficient The French flut
etteelsted of forty-three iron-phased vessels. He believed
that only a small propel* of the steam reserve was
fit to be sent to sea. Dlr. Lindsay doubted the ac
of the hon. gentlemen's statements as to ther=
navy. He contended that it was • waste of money to
wooden shi and be urged the employment of
repair m
ate yards for the building of vessels for the navy.
After sum discussion Lard C. Paget said the accounts
of the duckpin* were now in a complete state. With
;•Mcito ths French navy he believed it would number
n-clad vessels, with some small gunboats. The
vote was agreed to, as were several others. One vote
as to the desks at Malta is powtponed, and Lord C. Paget
intimated that be should ham to ask for a supplemen-
ter), vote for the conveyance of troops to New
Zeeland. The chairman was ordered to report prairies,
and the Hones theumed.

bound to see how the reduction of the malt duty would
beer upon the interests of Sootland and Ireland as well

malt duty would be a boon almost endesi.l4:.s

come to the conolusion that they would betray their duty
to the country if they applied any part of the simples
to the reduction of the malt tax. With noised to the
