Semser's Divoree Bill was nod s third dm sad posed.
EXCHEQUER BILL (7,000,0001.) BILL.

Oa the NUM ter the third reading of this bill,
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to have emu enplane-
does as to the mcossity foe • bill of this kind, as ke
monsidered it quite umesemary to add so isms
• elan se seven millions to the unleaded debt.
The home hod been vary liberal in voting supplies. They
bad voted silty nine =Mime of teem, sad a lose of six-
teen millions, and now there was to be as unfunded debt
of ems* 'millions. Sixty-eight or eiityaiae millions of
tem bad been levied on the people of this emsauy during
one par, sad now they were called upon fir seven mil-
lions mere. H. doubted if the home knew ezactly what they
were about, and should like ti know why this immense
anfuncird debt we unnecessary, and whether, at the last
sal• of stock, say stock bad been sold, or whether it was in
contemplation to Capes* of my ti provide for the current
silicoses.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted
that the mfuodsd debt was large, but said it wes not so
when competed with the expenses of former wars. The
whole of the enfnaded debt was now represented by the
Ezektequer Heeds, whereas, La former years, *ere were a
considerable mambos of navy, (edema, sad other bills. It
bad been found meessary, in order to defray the large de-
mands on tbe Exchequer, to eatielpeto the carnet revenue
to the *suet of nearly two minims, by memo of ways sad
amass bills.

TM bill was dm reed • third limo and pawed.
CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL.

On the order of the day for the third reading of this
bill,
Lord J. RUSSELL took the opportunity of galling the
attention of the house to the prevent state of Italy, and
likewise to the prospects of the war. He did not wish to
diminish or exaggerate the responsibilities of the goes's.
went, but it was well worth notion that never had there
been a government which had a more responsible or difficult
task to perform than that width would devolve upon her
Majesty's Ministers in the approaching teem. They had
just heard that the expenditure of the eountry cow amounted
es upwards of 90,000,0001. sterling, and if they considered the
sweat of the taxation, et compared the expenditure
with that of previous wan, not even encept-
fag the war of life and death, in which England
engaged with the French Republic, they would see
that the country was approaching a point that was calcu-
lated to give rise to the meet grave re &Stifle'''. (Hear,
bear.) He did not thick thot the gravity of those nine-
ties@ would be diminished by considering what were the
immediate prospects of the war. It would no doubt be
the duty of the Government to dispose of these large
MOM in the Runner which they consider most
natincive to furthering the purposes of the war.
It would be their duty likewise to consider the preparations
to be made for another campaige, and it wid be their duty
also if any occasion should arise to consider any proposals
se to enter into negotiations with the view to the re-esta.
Iffiffinent of peace. He would take these matters in their
omen order, and first, as to the prospects of the war, he
might observe that there was no reason to doubt
the efficiency of the navy, which had always been our right
arm in war; bat it was evident that any decisive MIAMI
which might be obtained in the present war woull not be
accomplished by navel operation. It was point's trust
Admiral Dundee might achieve more in the Baltic than was
obtained last year ; but considering that we were now
approaching the middle of August, no very san-
guine hopes could be entertained in that quar-
ter. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the prospects
in the Black Sea, he must consider that there was great
danger on the Asiatic frontier of Turkey. When the
Foreign Enlistment Act was passed, ►e entertained the
hope that we should be able to send thirty thousand men
to the assistance of Turkey at that point,
but from no fault of the government that hope
had been disappointed, nod no portion of the Foreign Le-
gion had yet found its way to the seat of war. With re-
gard, therefore, to our naval forces. and with regard also
to the Asiatic portion of Turkey, there seemed to be no im-
mediate preepect of oar obtaining any decided
success. (Hear, hear.) It would be fur the government
of course, to determine what use should be made of the
very large force now collected in the Crimea; but it was
obvious that that force, however powerful it might be,
would have to cope in its operations there with a vast Russiaa
army, which had recently been reinforced by troops
brought from Poland and the other frontiers of Ripen
Without wishing to impute blame in this matter to any ores,
►s felt that at this particular juncture of affairs Parliament
had a right to sell upon the milliner Its mike some declara-
tion of his policy, more especially as the house was about to
break up with every prospect that it would net
meet sg►ia for the next six months. (Neer, hear.)
In the interval it might be the duty of the government to
consider the best means for carrying on the next campaign,
bit of coarse no discussion could take place now upon that
question without inconvenience and probable mischief. Bet
with regard to our prospects of peace, he must take the
liberty of saying a few words. (Hear, hear.) He
regretted that the Foreign Secretary had not. thought at,
for the public interest, to disclose the contents of tee de-
spatch which he (Lord J. Russell) had forwarded from
Vienna in justification • f the course he had taken in the
latter part of the negotiations, but be hoped the ties* would
come when it would be no longer disadvantageous to the
e .untry to withhold it from Parliament and the public, sad
thee the world would see a full justification for his conduce.
With respect, however, to the future, a very serious ques-
tion arose out of the negotiations, because it would be ob-
served that the Turkish Ambassador at Vienna—a most be-
Wagon man, fully conversant with the affairs of Europe—
wee perfectly satisfied with the terms proposed by Austria.
Ho had beard whether any decision was come to at Con-
eentisople similar to that arrived at in London and Per*
but if no such decision had been come to, and the Turkish
Government were of opinion that the terms of peace whisk
had been proposed, afforded sufficient security to Lie empire,
it would become a question, sot whether the war should be
eirried on for the protection of Turkey, but for the main-
tense* of the military and naval reputation of France and
Great Britain. If Turkey still aserated to the Memo, her
position towards this country and Frames must be materially
changed, and instead of guaranteeing her loans, we must
grant her downright subsidies. (He►r, hear.) With regard
to the French government, he had the tallest reliance
upcn the honour and judgment of the Emperor;
sad he bad proved himself a faithful, prudent and
just ally to this country—(hear, hear)—and he
should be disposed to pay the highest consideration so any
opinion which the Emperor might take with regard to any
future negotiations for peace. Of course it would be the duty
of Government to consider the propriety of re-opening nego
should any opportir By arise for doing so. (Hear.)
With respect, then, to the question of carrying on the war,
with respect to present operations, with respect to any
future campaign, and with respect to any future negotia-
Gone for peace, be could only say that there n was
placed by this house greater confidence in any government'
than that which was about to be placed in the hands of ►er
Majesty's ministers. (Hear.) Having said thus much upon the
subject of the war, he would now address himself for a few
Ministers to the present state of Italy. Sardinia was Ready.
ing us with moms of the finest troops in Europe, and although
the King of Sardinia, with a spirit of forbearance that did
him great credit, had declined to press for any concessions
which it might be inexpedient for this country or for France
to grant him, it must not be forgotten that this aspirations of
that noble country had always been directed towards ob-
taining se improved system for Italy, and in any of her
movements is that direction she would be entitled to re-
ceive the moral support of the Allies. Civil and religions
liberty prevailed in Piedmont, but is the Papal States and
the Legations there wee a system of outrage and oppression
going on most shacking to reflect apses. (Hear, hear.) h

Mr. John Roes Turner, tide surveyor, said on Saturday I I 0

In answer to the charge, the prisoners said they had been u.
'employed many years in loading and unloading the foreign at,

trouble. They did not open the bale of tobacco, but seeing
some lying about, they put it under their clothes to smoke 11

The magistrate said it was lucky for them there was no it,
proof of their breaking the cargo, or they would have been
