from which, however. we lied been saved only through
the wisdom of the Emmet of the French. He thought,
then, the time bad arrived when It was worth while to
enunciate some better principle for otisiduideare in future.
What was the ground of our fudge ! Why did we
interfere with matuiental politics, which we had no
interest, whilst we gaimd aothiog by our diplomatic
meddling ! The medal excuse was rtereolyped to the
deepalcbes of the Secretary of Slats it was the
" balance of powers—a figment supposed to have
grown out of what was termed the -"
settlement of
' likens," but which be celled the great unsettlement
of Vienna. The troth is (said Mr. Coixlea) we
, all have our projects for interference abroad. One party
within os te interfere for Poland, mother far Hungary,
another for Italy, some would even have us go to America
and interfere then in the terrible dingle now raging.
I Now if I were called Mon to re—if we are to take up •
foreign policy for the rams of great atop —if
I were called upon to say what was my pro-
ject—l should say that Venice has the first claim
on this country—(heart hear)—because Venice bad
for a thousand yean a glorious existence • she was a coin-
menial nation with • outer somewhat matron our own ;
and if her history were fairly written, a a comparison
made between her sad other countries at the same time,
she certainly had the best title to existence of any country
en the Continent, and especially at our hands, the bands of
a commercial people. And yet the sigo and seal of England
is attached to that treaty which amigned Vends to Aus-
tria. Now I don't myself speak in public of the wrongs of
the Continent, but if there is one country that has more
claims upon us thpa mother it is the country I have re-
ferred to Bat to aside the wrens we have done to Venice, 1
we should have to fight against oar own engagements
and our signature. Thee where are we landed ! .We
have here a country requiring pesos. Some people thick it
is very degrading and very ham that an Englishman should
speak of his own mean se requiring pesos, and being
entitled to enjoy the bleessep of peso, ; sad if we allude to
our enormous commercial and industrial semisweet; ea a
reason why we should avoid those petty disturbances, then
we are told we are selfish and grovelling in our politics.
(Hear.) Bat I say we were very wrong to take such

Lord It. CECIL maid he had soon difficulty In folloviag the

upon her Majesty's gamesome it appeared to hies (Lord
R. Cecil) thtt, though the hod geatleame spoke as an advo-
cate of the government, his Maeda= is their favour did
not the to a very Mgh temperature. He seemed quite as
good a friend to her Majesty's government as her Majesty's
goveroment had bees to We kingdom of Denmark. (A
laugh.) But there is this remarkable differed* between
the two, that whereas her Majesty's goverment gave to
Denmark an abundance of good worth end no material aid,
the honourable gentleman was about to give to the
government all his material aid, but scoompaand with
a full does of what mono& certainly be called fair words.
(Hear, hem) There was one part of the speech of the I
hod gentleman, the majority of which be (Lord R. Oseil) bad
listened to with pleasure as the straightforward expiessimi
of the views he was knows to hold, which he regretted.
Considering the relations of England to Denmark, he
regretted that one in so mosainent a mitas as the hon.
. gentleman should have flung apes that unhappy country
reproaches for what she had den, (Hear, bear.) Denmark
had ant much to thank us for, bet we had steadily main-'
tained her rights on the mistime upon which the hon.
gentleman had touched, and it was ody fair that we should
not attempt to reopen anew that part of the question. He
could not of course agree with the doctrines of foreign
policy laid down by the hoe. gentleman. Bet thie be said,
that if the hon. gentleman had been Foreign Minister in-
stead of Lord Russell, be thought the country would have
mended a proud and dignified position compared with what
it occupied sow. (Cheers) He would hays lost lees credit

if you do not mean to fight you must not interfere • it you
do sot mean to carry out by arms menaces and thre;te, you
most abstain from the imery a iodulgiog in them. (Cheers.)
As to Denmark, he was afraid things had gene too far,
and that it was too late to do any goad for her.
He had not moth hope for Deoraark in the
this
ofresolution ; but still, though there might be no
hope or Denmark—he did not know whether there was or
was not—one thing remained for them to do. If they mold
not save Denmark they could rescue
.Eoglaad from the
danger of suffering similar dishonour to hours (Hear,
hear.) They could record oe the journals d the house their 1
coodemeatioe of the crime of those who betrayed Denmark
and brought England into contempt (Cheers.) They
might micas &liked from the danger in which the was
placed every hour that a ministry who had shown so low an
appreciation of the national humor was continued is office.
(Cheers.)

Mr. W. E FORSTER did not doubt that when her Ma-
jesty's ministers declined to interfere io the war they
were influenced by the feeling that such as interference
would inflict a serious injury on our commercial interests.
They must also have felt that they could not carry on such
a war without subaidisiog foreign armies. They naturally
hesitated to plunge into a war of this kind, because they
knew that they would be applying a torch to the most COIII•
bustible materials, which, if ignited, would probably threaten
lo involve in flame the whole of Europe. It would
then be our own fault if we got involved
in this war, for there was no valid reason
why we should embark in it. The forces on the continent
were far too equally matched for anyone of them to threaten
us. Let them consider how the old despotisms of Europa,
with large standing armies, were determined to keep down
the spirit of nationalities and the freedom which was strag-
gling throughout Europe—bow behind those despotisms
there were peoples eodeavouriog to remodel Europe sod to
rise splint their rulers ; sad all this time the Emperor of tie
French was narrowly watching their movements, bed
oessidsring what advantages might arise out of thole for
himself and France. With regard to the balance of power
is Europe, there never win a time when there was lees
danger than at present of Europe being mastered by oar
power or one dynasty. We might thank Providence that •
we were so placed that we need sot interfere in the struggle
now going our. Bat they were told that the just Is-
lam. of Eoglaad was lowered by the policy whittle
had bees pursued. Now, what was the melan-
in of that language ? He could not suppose
from what had faller, from the right bon. geotlemaa (Mr.
Disraeli), that he looted forward to keeping our just in-
fluence by what perhaps he would cell the adroit manceam
of boating England on some foreign country and helping
the French Emperor in his views and designs of °Maiming
greater power and iodises* by diplomacy, and of being, if
we were drives to carry that diplomacy into war, no loner

B. B. JOHNSTONE said the question before the
bones was not whether the pen°, should be intervention
or non-intervention in the affairs of other states, but
how her Majesty's government in their late diplomatic
negotiations had dealt with the power and influence of this
country.- As to the foreign minister, he had lectured Ger
many and all the world ; it was not possible to have placed
the noble lord in an position in which he could so fatally
distinguish hio> as at the head of the Fortian.offloe,
and the wonder was however no square a man was put into
so round a hole. (LanghMr.) If it had not been for the
Herculean frame and the physical capacity of the Under.
Secretary, there was no kaowiag what would have
become of the Fonige-oflice. (Removed laughter.)
For his own part he looked forward to the dissolution
with which they were threatened with somplatency, am be
should view a change of ministry. It had beau remarked
that new governments, when they succeeded others, were
always strong in the departments I. which their precimences
had been most weak. The foreign department of the pre-
sent governs:teat was the weakest, and therefore if a new
government was formed it might be expected that the cha-
racter and homier of Embed would be viadiested and her
true position re-established in the councils of Europe. For
these names he should. give his cordial support to the
motion of the right hoc. gentleman. (Cheers.)
Lord H. VANE felt great sympathy for Denmark, but
could not consent to go to war nagle.banded for her
iodependenoe. No change of government could help the
Daces ; and he could not joia
. in any vote of censure on the
government, be would lay , now to the resolution.
Mr. LIDDELL deprecated the constant system of
interference which characterised the foreign policy of the
government ; end, in supporting the resolution, said he
would be prepared to justify it before the country when-
ever an opportunity were afforded him. The party with
whom he acted ware proud of the vote they were about to
give, but they regretted to bear the rumour that some hon.
members were about to save the government at the sacrifice
' of the honour of their country.
Lord It. MONTAGU supported the resolution, explain-
ing that he would not do so on any account if he believed
ire adoption by the home would lead to war.
Mr. WHALLEY spoke in opposition to the motion, and
by same !MOM proems of reasoolog, apparently unintel-
Lehl to the house, attributed the failure of our diplomacy
to the secret and ageremive influence of the papacy.
Mr. ROEBUCK stigmatised the conduct of the German
powers as cruel sad cowardly. The facts of the ease ap.
peered to him to lie in a nut shell. The small states et
Germany had gone mad on the subject of nationality ,•
the DUNS, with the King at their bead, had endeavoured
to mantas the doctrine of empire ; Prussia wanted a port
is the Baltic, and elm wished to divert the attention of
(lemmata at home. Germany had become both mad and
silly, sad Earl Rummell had aggravated her by repeated
lectures. The noble earl had mistaken his vocation ; be
wee intended for a 'cheekiest's*, but Fortune made him a
statesman. He believed that if the foreign policy of the
country had hese placed in the hands of Lord Palmerston,
we should not be reduced to our present (audition ; nab
that if we had taken a bold stead at the first, the arropeoe
and injwitiee of Germany would have been effectually
checked. He would, however, vote aphid the moldiest,
hemose he considered the present government better than
that which would succeed it, should miniatore be placed is
a minority.

Mr. HOLSMAN condemned the proceedinp of Austria
and Prussia, which be described as two giant powers who
bad bees repeating in Denmark the robber mime, they had
committed in Poland. As between the two Prussia had
been the greater madman, whilst Austria was the greater
hypocrite. But • day of reckoning was in store for both ;
and when that day did fall cruelly and crushingly upon
them, with we voice the whole of civilised Europe
would exclaim that the heaviest calamity that could
betel them would be but • righteous retribution, for

was that for the lest two years the Rouse of Com-

were disboooured it wee not by ministers bet

opinion, would be • gamble?. throw. It is not a question

that public policy does notrminire at this dual moment

tionally, though unemoormefully, to preserve peace in •
master which was compatible with the natiolial honour
should be displaosd in make way for them who hero shown

and unconstitutional, have abdicated the highest functions

(Cheers.)

Mr. FITZ/GERALD said that the object of the remota.
Lion was to 0.0•111.111 and condemn the rzici

from any share in its conduct. (Cheers.) What would
really be unpatriotic would in if, after the government

solution we. given, hon. friends of his oo the misisterial
aide of the hones pleasantly raid to him—" You won't carry
this motion ; but if you do, you won't have any chance
whoa you go to your constituents, beeause we can easily
raise a cry of war aeinat you, and take credit to canelves
for policy of peace. His rawer to that was that he did
not think they would find it so easy to raise the cry of war,
and that if they did raise it the noble viscount would not
thank them for identifying his Dame with peace. (Hear, hear.)
But he wished to know whether we had a pesos government.
(Hear, bear.) Three different lima they had invited
foreign countries to join in going to war. Wu that the
work of a pear government? (Opposition cheers.) In the
course of these dn.:union' the noble lord at the bead of
foreign affairs had told them he had rani renewed that ap-
plication to the government of Frame, and that he bad
received the reasons why France would not join
ie going to war. (Hear, hear.) But what was
more, the government, in the 03[11141 of the prima
discussion, had admitted that they were so utterly without
sympathy and alliance abroad that they dared not go to war.
(Hear, brr.) There war nothing to justify the imputation
that the opposite* were more elixirs to go to war than
the government. They were also told that this resolution
ought to have pointed out a policy, but be thought that
argument had been sufficiently answered by three who had
gone before him. (Hear, bear.) He believed the
oppoeitioo had strictly performed their duty in
challenging the verdict of the house on the
policy of the government. (Cheers). He believed
that nine out of ten men in the house cordially
agreed with the words of the ninlatioe ; but of
this he was sure, that if they were to go to the hustings, as
bad been tbreareed, their constituents would believe
they bad performed their duty in challenging the verdict
of the House of Commons, and in asking their censure of
thine who they felt bad lowered the Maurice of England,and
endangered the peace of the world. (Cheers.)

After Term Sittings at Nid Prins at Goildhall.—(Ektfosa

HOOD r. 00V/SHADZ AID OTHXIO.--211111..
This wu an action for libel. The defendants pleaded not
guilty, and also a notification.
Mr. Berjeant Peterodorff and Mr. Crompton were counsel
for the plaintiff ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Day wars
counsel for the defendants.

The plaintiff is a contractor fee the supply of gas Wive, and
the defendants are the • of the Rmding Mercury.
It appeared that the p ' tiff had supplied fifty lamps and
poets to the Reading local board, and when they came
to be put up it was totted the lanterns would not
fit the brackets, and the load board had to incur an expense
of 2!. 4s. to make them fit. The plaintiff was asked to allow
that deduction, bet be declined, and a committee of the
hoard suggested that to prevent litigation it was better to
pay the amount ; sod in their report to the board they
slated that the refusal of the plaintiff to allow the 21. 4s. was
not oonsisteet with an honourable and tradesmadike fulfil-
meet of his contract, aid that the committee had directed
the surveyor to abstain from any further dealing with him.
The defendant. bad may publiabed the report of the com-
mittee as a portion of the public proceedings of the
board. The defendants gave the plaintiff the names of
the board sad their clerk. and offered to insert any
statement is *epithelium to set the plaintiff right, but he
declined to accept it, on the pound that anything published
in the paper would not, be believed, set him right with the
public.
Mr. Coleridge submitted that this was a publication is
the nature of a privilege, there being actually no malice in
biotin the publication. It was of impert•nce that the rate-
payers sad the public should he furnished with correct re-
ports of the proceedings of public bodies, and the report of
the committee complained of was a portion of the proues&
lags of the board reported in edam° in the deteodant s
paper, and was but • bare statimeat of facts without any
comment.

—ill7) ford Chief ladies said be wee disposed to think that
the report came under the heed of privilege. He would
not stop the cue, bat in the erect of the jury giving a ver•
diet for the plaintiff he would give the defendant. leave to
move the court above to mama the plaintiff on the point
raised.

Mr. sergeant Petersdorff said that in the cam of Davin,
v. Duncan, the court above had held that a aempaper was
not justified in publishing libellous matter which erase at
public meetings.
Mr. Coleridge then addressed the jury for the defeedanta,
observing that the first complaint made to the defiendaate
waa two months after the publication. and nothing further
was done towards bringing thin action until two months
after the offer of an apology was made.
Evidence was then given oa the part of the defendants,
showing the defects In the brackets which prevented the
teatime from fitting, and the weak done at Rasing to make
them so, for which 21.4 s win paid. The plaintiff vas to
deliver the lamps, dn. at Reading reedy for faint, by
which it was coeteaded be was liable for any incidental
&map that might arise la teanait, or any defeats iqq the
man UaMre when they rams to be put together. When
the lamps had to be pat up it was found the lanterns would
130 t fit the bracken, and the latter had to be altered, end it
wee fee that work the 21. 4s was incurred—not me of the
lanterns would fit either of the brat:keno+ the mews would
not go into the holes.
The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said it we. a
very illudvised action, and the jury's time had been unpro-
fitably employed ia inventimMeg this matter, sad there
never was a pablioatioa complained of se libellant in which
it was more manifestly clear there wee a total ahem* of 01
intention to do any injury to the party mapiaining than
this. This was the report of the proosediaga of a pulite
local board, who were dimming mattes. of public linguist

report of the finance committee, mid published without
cemmest or aberrations. It was admitted on all
hands that the report win a variedly tree and correct
