THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1864.

gentleman refers stead ironwood reading on Thlridaynext,
and should the business of the house permit sae to do so I
will proceed with them on that day, and with all convenient
deemtah, so that should they pun the parties may have
the benefit of them as moos se possible. With regard to
the second question, I ham le state that this day I received
a commanioesion from an influential member of the paths-
manta:7 bar, which had the wocureence of the leaders of the
parliamentary bar, aI ma blamed. The communication
is satisfactory as far se it goes-{a laugh)--Miliough
not entirely dealing with the whole question. But to
accurate I will read what has been put into my hands, and
what lam permitted to malts known to the home. The
words are these :—" It is understood that it be not
considered inconsistent with the etiquette of the parliamen-
tary bar for any counsel to appear before • committee of
either home of perliamant, if he shall think fit, at • lower
rate of fees in respect of daily attendance and consulta-
tions than that which has hitherto prevailed." Prom the
conversation which pored I understood the meaning of that
document to be, that any counsel should be permitted to
take a cue with a small refresher, or without any ; and
with regard to consultation, that the fee upon oonsultation
should be such as might be settled between the solicitor
and the barrister, without reference to the present practice
of having • minimum of five guineas for each consultation.
I was further informed that this coosultation fee
was not for the future to be taken as a matter
of course, but was only to be allowed in cases
where the consultation had been wasidered ososeary,
by the parties, and bad been actually held. ("Hear, hear,'
and a laagh.) I believe there was some misapprehension
formerly, as to consultation having bees paid for and yet
not actually held. I am told that that was not the case,
and that I was rather incorrect in the statement which I
made upon the subject, and I am glad to have the °ppm-
tunity of correcting it. lam told that no change is to be
made in the ftei upon the retainer and upon the brief, both
of which are to be restricted to the present amounts as the
minimum in each ease that eon be taken by a barrister,
namely, five guineas on the retainer, and ten guineas on the
brief. So that it will be impossible to appear before a com-
mittee for less thee fifteen guineas. At present they can-
not appear for leas than thirty guineas ; so that the house
will see • considerable reduction has been made by the par-
lianientary bar. The subject is ander consideration and it
is hoped that they will be able to make such • change in
their system as will enable concert to practise at the parlia-
mentary bar under the same rule as regards fees that pie-
vans in the ordinar7 courts of law and equity.
Mr. BENTINCk said he considered the statement of the
right hon. gentleman very unsatisfactory, and inquired
whether, in the meat of the parliamentary bar not taking
upon themselves to alter the system as now proposed, it was
the intentioo of the government to deal with the question.
Mr. if. GIBSON—I can only say that what my hon.
friend has intimated is a possible course, bat I would rather
not commit myself upon the subject. I would rather leave
it in the hands of the parliamentary bar. (A laugh.)
Mr. HADFIELD wished to ask whether the public were
confined to the services of the parliamentary bar, or whether
it was competent to them to employ barristers to conduct
the parliamentary Mounds on such terms as they thought
desirable:'

Mr. M. GIBSON—I believe, so far as I am informed,
there is no rule of the bar in general that would pre-
vent counsel from p ' before parliamentary commit-
tees taking the same fees w h are permitted lobe accepted
in the courts of law and equity. Whatever rule exists has
originated with the parliamentary bar itself. It was alto-
gether a question of profemiooal etiquette.

• friend that Mamba. foie //Wax would, is sower to my
gyration, fires genii sato a defence of M. Mainati. (Hear,
hear.) What I desired to hear from my boa. friend was
some explanation of the charge made against himself.
(Hear, arag.) I4g need mrpons perfectly justified biv
ware* 011ie horror .W disgust which lie and
man is this hems most feel at befog charged as an aeons.
plias in snob an attempt as this—(bear, bean—but my
hon. friend did rat give ins or the house as explanation
aa to this Mr. Flower who resides at 36. Thurios-equare.
Brownest', which is the result of a search of the " Loodon
Directory" by the French Precursor, bat I too have searched
that Dreamy, and I find that this 35, Tharles-square
is also the address of my hon. triad the member for Halifax
(Mr. Stiu,sfeld). I rise now to second this motion for the
purpose of giving him an opportunity of explaining that
which seems to have been forgotten—(hear, bear)—and I
am quits sore be will be able to give a most satisfactory one.
(Hear, hoar.)
Mr. STANSFELD—I hardly understood, I outstay, that
my hon. friend was desirous of any explanation from me of
the spoils port to which he has referred. He has searched
the Directory, and he has found out a fact which ass wily
ascertainable, namely, my address. My addrese is 35,
Muria-square. As to a letter stated to have been ad.
dressed to Mr. Flower, I understand my hoe. friend to
ask whether I have any knowledge of that letter. (Hoar, I
hear ) Now, I have already stated in general terms,
general because I wished them to apply to one and all of the
accusations, that I have no knowledge whatever of them, and
have had, and it seems almost too great an iodignity
to answer such a question. I have never had the slightest
knowledge of proceedings of that character ; and I will add,
for I think I am entitled to add, that I have got the belief
is them which some boa. gentlemen seemed to entertain.
I have been blamed by the hoc. member for Kong's County
for having taken the opportunity of defending the character
of M. Mazzini ; but I did so for two reasons. The one is,
that my name has been implicated in this transaction ;
and the other is that I think lam entitled—l think I should
be shrinking from the duties driest/ friendship if I had not
taken this opportunity of testifying what I will say is not
only my conviction, at my knowledge of hie character.
(Hear.) What is the question the hon. member saked ?
An HON. Murata—Who is Flower
Mr. iIIiNNEXSY —I asked whether in truth Mr. Flower
is M. Mozzini

Mr. STANSFELD—I can have no knowledge. I know
nothing about Mr. Flower. Did the lion. gentleman ask
any question about the collection of moues, and it so, will
be repast j! _ . _

blr..-HENNEEISY—I asked the bon gentleman whether he
at any WIN acted as treasurer, or as a member of a cam •
mitts, for the collection of any money to be distributed
among the Italian patriots '.' Wrier of " Oh, oh," and " Don't
answer.")
11r. STANSFELD—WeII, I will answer the booze. un-
doubtedly not.

Lord HAMILTON—Is Sergeant Fuori an intimate
acquaintance of the bon. pothimaes, and is he frequently
at his address! (Criss of "Oh, oh.")
Mr. W. E. FORSTER—I do not rime to carry on this dis-
cussion. but I think when it is read to-morrow it will be
found that the information it contains is different from that
obtained by the French Procureur Imperial. I am quite
sure my hoe. friend the member for Halifax has answered
all the questions that have been put to him affecting him-
self in • manner which will be quite satisfactory to the
country. I merely rise for the purpose of eying that the
hoe. member for ring's County, in alluding to M. Marsh*
stated as though it were an acknowledged fact, and ad-
mitted by M. Mazzini himself, that although he did not
eater into plots for the purpose of assassinating the Em-
peror of the French, yet he did for the purpose of terrifying
him. Now, perhaps the hon. gentleman, as he cannot rise
himself, will get a friend to state for him the moos why he
made that sasertion. I do not believe H. Mancini ever
made that assertion. I have very little knowledge of M.
Massini, bet I would take his denial as being true, sod I
believe he has never had anything to do with any such
plots—(hear, hear)—for any purpose whatever.
Mr. Alderman ROSE—The question which we should
like to have answered * has M. Rimini ever lived with the
hon. gentleman' (Loud laughter.) It is right that the
house should have that question answered. I am quite
sure it is supposed that it is a fact that be either lodged
there or was at some time living in the same house. Will
the boo. gentleman answer that question? (Cries of "Dos%
meow.")

OUK FOREIGN POLICY-DENMARK AND GER-

KAN Y.

- - -
Mr. DLSRAELI took the opportunity of asking some
questions with regard to the relations of this country with
the continental powers. He understood that. her Majesty's
government had succeeded in obtaining the consent of se-
veral of the great powers to a conference on the Danish
queatioe. He wu of opinion that coefereottee under cir-
cumstances like the present, when hostilities were going
on, were seldom other than failures, it:Bummed, as they
must be, by unexpected eventa. The experience of a pre-
vious attempt nine years ago, on the part of Lord Russell,
to carry on a conference during the Crimean war, cer-
tainly did not inspire him with coofideose io the
success of the proposed negotiations without an armistice.
He stated that it appeared from the papers on the Danish
question that ..,ord Russell, in the autumn, made a proposi-
Uon to France for interference in the affairs of Denmark,
suggesting every possible diplomatic action ; but M. Drouyn
de Lbuys, having a personal recollection of the negotiation
at Vienna, replied that all this had been done to the ease of
Poland, with the result of impairing the dignity of both
France and England, and be refused to act unless England
was prepared to go further, and enter oo • course of real
action. It was • question of vital importance whether
her Majesty's government had agreed to go further and
adopt ulterior measures with France, if the proposed
conference shcrild fail ; and if so, what object was to be
accomplished! Was it the integrity and independence of
Denmark ! on which point all the powers were said to be
gle; but was that integrity founded on the retention
ledswig and Holstein! If the conferences went on time
would be consumed, and with the spring Europe would
naturally turn to France to settle the quastion,which all the
efforts of England bad failed to adjust; and the result
would probably be in what would be called • rectification of
the map of the Continent. Whatever might occur, it
would be owing to the blundering policy of the government,
and but for which there would now be no question of the
integrity and independence of Denmark. At present my
only ditty (said the right hon. gentleman) is to remind
the house of the position in which the country now is, sod
that position is most unsatisfactory. It is impossible to
know whether we have entered into any conditions with
France, or whether France is entering into the conference
unfettered by any conditions. It is impossible
not to think that before the summer pauses away much
may weer which will be both inconvenient and mortifying
to this country. (Opposition cheers.) I have nothing from
government calculated to guide or enlighten parliament or
the country. At this moment the drivers have missed their
road, the reins have fallen from their hands, the horses are
wild. Now we shall hear the noble lard's answer to my in-
quiries. (Opposition chaste.)
Lord PALIIERSTON—Sir, the right hon. eel:Homan is
no great, never, in his own opinion, so successful, as
when he has the opportunity of attacking an about man.
(Chun.) He was pleased the other evening to take advantage
of my temporary absence, having been detained somewhat
later than usual by public business ; and now be has wider
scope in attacking my noble friend whose place is
in the other house of parliament whilst I am
here. (Cheers.) With wounderful dexterity, bat still
with somewhat of simplicity, he frames his attack upon
my noble friend. The right bon. gentleman has been ab-
sent from his place for the last few davit, pondering over,
getting by heart, marking extracts, turning dogs' earn do wn—
(a laugh)—in these papers but finding that they contain
little or nothing—(laughter from the conservative benches)
—little or nothing ce which to found an attack upon those
in office, he ransacks " Hansard," he turns over the pages
of the "Annual Register," goes back to the Bine Books of
ten years since, in order that he might attack my noble
friend respecting what happened in I coogratulate
my noble friend that the tight bon. gentleman baa foetid
the Memo hard to break, and that he has been obliged to go
back ten years in order to find some topic to attack.
(Cheers.) H 7 noble friend performed with ability and fidelity
the duty imposed on him at that time in Vienna. (" Oh,
oh," from the opposition.) By the admission of the right
boa, gentleman, my noble friend attempted to bring about
a peaceable solution. Unfortunately his proposals failed,
and war ensued, but rot by our fault, but by the fault of
ethics, and that is the charge which is made against my
noble friend. He went as fare. he could do, coesisteutly
with his duty, to iuduoe Austria and Francs to dachas war,
and he failed, and the attempt to prevent war is made a
charge against my noble friend. (Hear, hear.) Why, sir,
the right hoe. gentleman has talked of diplomatic rubbish,
but there is such a thing as parliamentary rubbish—(others)
—and parliamentary rubbish is what we often get from
persona whose genius and ability ought to guilty them for
better things. (Hear, bear.) The tight boo. gentleman
says
i that her Majesty's =blisters are in what he
very unfortunate circumstances, and seems
to regret that he and his ,friends about him
have not the management of public affairs, in which case
very different indeed would be the present modifier' of the
country. Very different indeed! (Loud cheers.) Very dif-
ferent, if we are to believe is the sincerity of the line of
argument taken by the right boo. gentleman, and by hon. I
members ma his side of the house. Why what see the cir-
cumstances in which we have placed the country! We
are at peace, we are prosperous, we have been occupied in
communications with all the powers of Europe endeavour-
ing to settle matters without war. If we were led by boo.
gentlemen opposite, and especially by the right hoe. gen
tleman himself, we ought to have gone to war for Poland
because hence was reedy to do so. That is his charge.
If we are to believe the argument used by the right hoe. gem-
Hemet: to night, because the French proposed war, we should
now bat war with Austria sod Peoria for Denmark. He
would not have Amok from such an extremity. Well, in
my humble opinion. and being uodesirous of the wooer
which the right boo. gentlemen and his friends are so
anxious to obtain, I think that the country is just as well
served by those who are at present in office es they would
be by the right boo. gentleman and his (rinds sitting on
those beeches—(cheers and laughter)—were they to act up
to their and his arguments oe great European questions.
(Hear, bear.) The right hoe. gentleman complains that he
is uninformed oe the Danish question, and be arks the
government to enlighten his ignorance. Now, there are
some persons who like to run away with half a story, and
find it more convenient than waiting for the whole, to form
• conclusion. 1 am sure that the right bee, gentleman
places us in a very embarrassing position, because when
I de paper, are given, he ye that we have treated the hews

unfairly, and that there is se information woo which to
forma just conclusion. But this evening he nays than when
we pre SOO pages of Mate papers be was more time ever
unable to ease to a omoluirion. (Cheers.) He is in fact
very difficult to phase. Give him no papers, and he coni-
' plains, and if you give bins the whole papers then he is
lees thee ever al= kr form a rational conclusion. (A laugh.)
The fact is that some minds are so constituted that give
them papers or so paps= they are unable to understand
great questions. (laughter.) I think, however„ that the
right hon. pntlearian was quite right in the course in which
be proceeded. He has, in common with the rest of the
home, the papers corning down to the latter sod of December.
It is evident that these papers could only contain a portion
of the communications which have pealed between this
government and others upon the Danish question. The
right hon. gentleman, however, thought it more convenient,
and no doubt he was right, to get up and roe= • flash about
the conduct of the government—though that formed bit •
very small portion of his speech—upoo the Danish question
with this imperfect statement rather than wait for the papers
which he will have to-morrow, and which will bring down
the negotiations toa much later period. (Hear, hear.) There-
fore I can only my that it would be a long story to tell m
sight hon. friend all that is 300 cupid in those papers, which
he will have to read mom at Lis leisure in the course of
tomorrow ; but let him wait now, and let the house wait,
before they draw a conclusion as to the course we have
pursued either in accepting proposals, answering proposals,
or making moposals to others, till they get the whole state-
ment, which they will have in the coursed • very few hours,
and then he and the house will be better able to judge what
the course of her Majesty's government has been. (Hear.)
Our object from the first to the last has been to endeavour
to conciliate differmoss—(hear, bear,)—to bring together
parties holding opposite, and even incompatible opinions ;
to mideavour to modify exasperations ; and to produce '
peaceable settlement of that which threatened to be the
cause of European war. (Hear, hear.) One of the charges
which the right hon. gentleman makes against my noble
friend is, that he was too abundant in his suggestions of
means for the &Mainmast of that end; that if one failed he
proposed another, and this is what the right hon. gentle-
man celled " diplomatic rubbiab"—that my noble friesd was
fertile in expedient', and, finding one proposal not likely
to succeed, suggested soother, and never was daunted by
the ill mem= of one proposal, still hoping to find some
other by which he might arrive at the desired result. In-
stead of that being a charge against my noble friend, I
say it is rather • compliment to him borne
by one who is at the same time endea-
vouring to run him down. (Hear. hem) The
right hon. gentleman asks whether at one period we agreed
to accept the proposal of France, and whether at another
period we made • different one. I ask him really to have
the kindness to wait only • few hours and he will have the
whole of the correspondence in his hands. And lam per-
fectly satisfied that in a week's time, when he gets up upon
the motion for going into supply, with all the knowledge io
his bead which he has not now got in his head—(laughter)
- we shall sot have the name language from his lips which
he has been pleased to give expression to oo the present oc-
casion. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. S. FITZGERALD observed that Lord Palmerston
had given no reply to the questionsm to the principle' of
the proposed conference. He believed the country was in
• most critical condition. and that this state of things had
been produced by the policy of the government.
The subject then dropped.

(Before the Mader of the Rolls.)
THZ_ELFAM7OIIDIMiIiti RAMMING COMPANY,

In the winding up of this company, now carrying on in
this court, the of liquidator sought to charge Mrs. Bul-
mot se a contributory for 25 shares in her own right. It
appeared that she was the executrix sad residuary legatee
of Mies Clarkson, whodled in 1858, and who held the shares
in question. Upon timeshares Mrs. Balmer bad received
the usual dividends, signing the receipts for them as sm.
nutria till 1861. The receipts, however, foe 1862 and 1863
she had signed without the addition of executrix, but she
bad applied in writing for the latter dividends in the repre-
sentative capacity.
Mr. fiwanston appeared for the liquidator, and contended
that by reason of sloth( the receipt. in her proper name
she mast be takes to have assented to the bequest to her,
as residuary legatee, of these shares, and so to the liability
incident to bolding them.
Mr. Roxburgh, for Kra Balmer, contended that she had
not complied with the requirements of the deed of settle-
ment, by which almss she could constitute herself a share-
holder, unless such requirements were mutually waived.
The signature of the last receipts must be taken in connec-
tion with her application as executrix.
His Honour held that Mrs. Balmer had not beoome aI.
shareholder in her own right, but solely in her represents.
tire capacity.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(13don Mr.

Kim)

Peewit' Jowers, I very reepectable-looking young man,
surrendered to take his trial upon several indictment.
charging him with embezzling different mall sums of
money, amounting in all to about 81. or 91., the property
of the trustees of a benefit society called the Progress mod
Unity Society, which is a branch of the Forester,' Odd
Fellowe Society.
Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was
defended by Mr. P. H. Lewis.
_ _ .

The jury retuned a verdict of Not Ottiftg.
The prusoaer waa Urea charged upon a seooad iodictmaat
with so•ffeace or the same character.

In this mu the jury again returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
Mr. Metcalfe said that he wu instructed to proceed with
a third charge, and the prisoner wu consequently put upon
, his trial upon another indictment which charged him with
embezzling other sums, the property of the seine society.
The learned counsel, in opening the cane to the jury, com-
plained of the manner in which the two lest cases had been
summed up by the learned judge, and said that U the court
bad been differently constituted, and if the learned judge
who usuall► presided had been present, he should probably
not have felt himself compelled to take the course he had
done in pressing so many inquiries upon the attention of the
jury
Mr. Commissioner Kerr, upon hearing this observation of
the learned counsel, interposed, and called upon him to with-
draw the observation be had made.
Mr. Metcalfe wished to know what was the observation re-
ferred to by the learned judge which he required him to
withdraw.

Mr. Commiasioers Kerr said that the observatiou he re-
quired him to withdraw was that if the court had been
differently roastitated and the burned judge who usually
presided had bees peewit, be should not have taken the
course be bad dope

Mr. Metcalfe said that be did not intenl anything disre-
spectful to the court in what he had stated.
Mr. Commissioner Herr mid he should not argue the
matter, but if the observation was of withdrawn he should
adjourn the court sad consider what further steps should be
Mkan in the matter.

Mr. Metcalfe repeated that be did not intend anTthiog
disrespectful to the court.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr laid that he considered the ob-
servation that had been made was highly disrespectful, and
be believed that every one in court mud the saineopinioe.
(Here there were loud cries of „Hear, hear.") He should
insist upon an unconditional withdrawal of the observation.
Mr. Metcalfe, opal this, said that if his lordship consi-
dered the observation disrespectful, he should of course
withdraw it.

The ease then proceeded, but the evideooe was pretty
much the same as upon the other two indictments. The
•prisoner was proved to h►ve received several small sums from
id members of the society, bat it appeared that he
had accounted for searly the whole of them, and that apoa
one occaidoa be had complained V. the trustees that Were
were so sassy eatries to be made that it was impossible for
him to enter the whole of thins, sod an assistant was pro-
vided for him.

The learned Commissioner, in summing up, raid that it
appeared to hint that the statement that bad been made by
the trustee
as to the prisoner oomplaining of the amount of
duty that he was required to perform, was the explanation
of the whole transaction, and that there really were no
grounds fur melds( a charge of embezzlement against him.
The jury again returned a verdict of Not Ouilfp.
Mr. C 0011114110114. Kerr then observed that be entertained
the mine opinion be bad expressed with reference to the
first case that had been tried, that the evidence was quite
insufficient to support the charge of embezzlement, and
that the proper noun to have been taken was to have
applied to a magistrate midst the provisions of the Friendly
Societies Act, by whom the dispute with regard to the
mousy could have been settled to the most satisfactory
manner, at the expense of a few shillioxs. Instead of doing
this the society had thought proper to prefer all these ie.
dicta:tents at very great wet, rod, uuder the circumstances,
Its should make no order for the payment of the (apemen.
There was a fourth indictment against the prisoner, but
Mr. Metcalfe declined to offer any evidence in support of it,
sad when the little seen. above narrated bad bees brought
to a conclusion, the prisoner was ordered to be discharged.
William (hire, pleaded guilty to a charge of emhaule-
meat, sod it appeared that he had been before convicted of
robbing a former master of a considerable quantity of
valuable jewellery, and that he had also attempted to
coconut another robbery in an establishment where he hail
obtained employment after he came out of prison.
He was mottoes() to five years' penal servitude.
Andrew. .11• Lean, 53. pleaded guilty to a charge of tinkle.
fully emleavonring to obtain roomy by false pretences from
Bares Templeton. He also pleaded guilty to a charge of
obtaining a sovereign from Alexander Maine by false pee-
tenon. The primmer is a notonous begging-letter imposter,
and be has been convicted at the instance of the Meudicity
Society on a great many occasions.
He was sentenced to 18 mouths' imprisonment upon the
ant indictment, and to be kept in penal servitude for three
year, opt.° the second.

Melon the Common Serjeant.)
John bona, 25, farmer. surreodered to an indictment
chargieg him with forging • receipt for the payment of
37'. 10..

Mr. Serjesst Atkinaou attended to prosecute; the pd•
loser vise defended by Mr. GRUM.
The prisoner !deeded guilty ; and
The Common Serjesst seoteoced him to 12 months' ha-

of age, but whs looked elder, sod who has beep for norms

receiving, humble them to be stolen, one pair of cloth
troumn, a boy's cloth jacket, ad two pieoes of @Atkin,
valued is all at 4%., from Edward tioderwood, a boy aged
pine year.: _

The father of the boy Uederwood is a poor and iodise.
trious waterman and lightermas, dwelling with his family
at No. 31, Old Church•road, Stepney, sod a short distance
from the prisoner's house. Os Friday evening a sack,
which answered the purpose of a counterpane, was stolen
from his bed. A cloth jackal, a pair of trousers, sad a
bag were also stolen from a drawer in the tarns room.
toderwood suspected his coo, who at last admitted stealiog
the things sod selling them to the prisoner.
The boy was now avoni, and exhorted by the magistrate
to tell the whole truth. He said he stole the things and
took them to the prisoner, who put them is his stale and
gave him 24.1. for them. He took the jacket sod trousers
out of a drawer. He sever stole anything before. He
would swear he only received 24d. for the things.
The prianoer, who °lend so defence, was committed for
trial, and the magistrate refused to accept bail
Mr. Griffin said there waa another charge against the
prisoner for the unlawful possession of 801 b. of lead and •
new sack, with the DAMS of J. 1). Blythe upon it. He
should abandon that charge at present
