BRADFORD WATERWORKS RESERVOIRS.

Mr. FERRAND rots to call attention to the dangerous
state of the Doe-park and other reservoirs belonging to the
Bradford Corporation Waterworks.
. .

Sir G. GREY said he thought the hon. member had taken
rather an inconvenient mode of bringing the facts tinder the
notice of the government. If the hon. gentleman would be
kind enough to reduce those facts to writing, he would take
immediate steps to institute au inquiry on the subject, with
• view of placing the reservoirs referred to in a state of
perfect security.

COLLECTION OF TAXES BILL.

In answer to Sir B. WILLOUGHBY,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid that hi
proposed to go into committee on this bill pro forma. Con-
sidering the various amendment' to be proposed. be should
ask the bouts to allow the bill to be reprinted. If that were
agreed to, be would name the lath or the 20th of April for
its committal. (Hear.)
M. MAZZINI AND MR. STANSFELD.

Lord ELCHO, baviog observed that the division on the
previous night had left the house in a false position, and
that there was still one course open by which it could be
set right, asked whether Mr. &muteld, when he became
aware of the position in which he had pieced the govern-
ment and the country through his friendship with M. Max-
sini. bad tendered his resignation, and if so whether the
offer bad been refused.

Lord PALMERSTON—Sir, I cannot but regret that my
noble friend, in asking this question—which he might have
done simply and without dilating upon other matters—ham
thought fit to revive the discussion of last night—(cheers)
—and which I certainly hoped had been then concluded.
(Continued cheers.) i shall, therefore, abatein
from following the example of my noble friend in
going into that question again. I will simply
answer the question he has put to me. The noble
lord asks whether my hon. friend did not, suba:queetly to
the notice taken of this matter by the hon. member for
Finsbury, tender the resignation of his office ? My boo.
friend immediately made a communication to me through
• common friend, to the effect that he placed his office
entirely at the disposal of the government—(cheers)—and
that at the @lightest intimation from me he would tender
his formal resignation of that office. My answer was, that
I I did not wish him to take that step ; and if there is any
responsibility attaching to that decision, I ant perfectly
willing to take that responsibility. (Cheers )
Mr. W. E. DUNCOMBE expressed his extreme surprise
at the decision at which the noble viscount had arrived.
He did not think it was worthy of her Majesty's government
that one of their colleagues in that house should have been
for 17 years an intimate friend of Martini, a man who hail
I not the courage to carry out his own diabolical schemes—
(" Oh, oh," and cheers)--• man who, skulking under the
protection which this free country gave him, plotted and
conspired against the crowned heads of Europe, and the
established governments of Europe, and sent forth his etnis•
caries to every capital of Europe to produce anarchy, and, if
possible, to overthrow governments with which this conmer
was to alliance. (Hear.) Mamini was • man who had been
excluded from foreign countries, and who, he believed,
dared sot show his face in Italy. because he was known robe
the plotter and conspirator of Europe. He was a disgrace
taiga nation, and any person who had directly or indirectly
any dealings with him shared a portion of that disgrace.
(Hear, hear.)
Alderman ROSE thought that the statement from the
noble lord would produce surprise not only in this country.
but throughout tire continent. The government bad
thought proper to endorse the conduct o. one of her Ma-
jesty • ministers in this matter. (Hear. hear.) He thought
the subject would not be allowed to rest as the noble lord
supposed. It had created throughout France such an effect
that he believed the noble lord would yet have to regret
that be bed thought fit to take the course he had done, in-
stead of accepting the resignation which had been placed in
his hand* (Hear, hear.)
Mr. W. E. MUSTER—My hon. friend states candidly
and scknowledges with regret that M. Harsher, beiog
unable to receive letters from the continent in his own
name, he allowed his letters to be directed to his house, as
they were to the houses of other of M. Maulers friends ;
bat my hon. friend does not know that H. Mazzioi
ever gave the name of Mr. Flower, and does
not supper) he ever did. Now, the whole of
this scandal comae to this. My hon. fatted says be has been
aNnainted with M. Mazzirti for many years, that he did not
refuse him access to his house. and that not having refused
him access to his house, he did not tell him he should get no
letters there, and that it wan possible that letters may have
been intended to he sent by some one to his louse in the
name of Flower. I quite grant that my hors. friend did
make • great mistake, and did commit au indiscretion, in
allowing the letters to be addressed to his house. (Cherie.)
He has expressed his regret for that. (No, no.) Is the
house prepared to say that they think this ought to prevent
my hoe. friend from continuing in the administration, of
which he is a credit and an ornament—that be ought no
longer to remain • member of the government because be
has the friendship of Bleazini, and has committed this
indiscretion, which be now regrets? That is the simple
question ; and the noble viscount, with that courage and
generosity which makes him so popular in this house sod
the country, has declared that he will not he the instru-
ment of driving my bon. friend away from office because he
has committed that indiscretion. (Hear, hear.) lam
quite sure that the house will not be parties to turning my
hon. friend out of office on the grounds brought forward, and
that the country will support them in such a determina-
tion. (Cheers.)
Sir J. WALSH would ask the boo. gentleman the mem-
ber for Halifax whether, considering the position in which
he had placed this house—(ob, oh)—in which he had placed
the government of which be was • member—(oh. oh)—
whether it did not occur to him as a gentleman and • man
of honour that it would be • more proper and becoming
course on his part not merely to intimate to the noble lord
through a third perry that he would be ready to give up
his place if the noble lord asked him to do it, but to frankly
and in a direct manner terrier positively and absolutely the
resignation of his office. (Hear. hear.)

Lord PALMERSTON explained that it was his intention
to have said that his hoe. friend had, through a common
friend, plsoed himself and his office entirely at his disposal.
(Hear, hear.)
' Mr. 11A LIBURTON said they were told that this
was an act of indiscretion on the part of the hoe, member
for Bradford. (Cries of Halifax.") Well, Halifax ;he
ought to have recollected that word. (Laughter.) It ap-
peared to him that there had been consecutive blunders, and
he did not think that any man possessing proper feelings
ought to have gone into an administration carrying with him
the friendship of a man like Mauini. (" Hear, hear "from
the Opposition.) Nor did he think the noble lord at the head
of the government should h►ve invited a friend of Mazzi ni—
nut a secret friend, but a man who gloried in and avowed his
friendship as one of the greatest patriots of the day—into
bin administration.

Mr. HENLEY said if the matter bad been frankly avowed
—if there bad been no attempt to conceal or to keep back
anything—then the whole question would have stood in a
very different position. and the noble viscount would bare
at present stood in a much higher positioo, for
he had, he was sorry to say, been a party to
keeping the information back—for the noble lord had
told them that the matter was brought fully to his notice.
There ought to have peen a disclaimer no the part of
the rveroment of the indieerstion committed, and if it
had been so avowed, the whole thing would have pulled
away at once. If a man made an indiscretioo, and
frankly owned it, there was no one in that house but would
have acid, " You have ben a foolish fellow, and there in an

yodel IV But if • man attempted to hide • halt, sad had
set the manliness to acknowledge it, all the world would
*der such circumstances think there was something more
behind, and they would not believe that the whole state-
meet from begins/as to end had been mule. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LAYARD—I do not wish to prolong this discussion,
bat I have been so completely misrepresented by the right
hon. gentleman sod others that I must say one word.
I said nothing in regard to M. Mareini's opinions. Bet
I said that the French government had made no ocnn-
municatioe in reference to the matter to this country, and
that it was for that government to make • communication
if it should think it necessary to require an explanation.
The Emperor of the French knew this reentry better than
most men on the continent, and he would feel that
the accusation made against • member of the go-
vernment sad • member of this house was so monstrous,
that no one would believe it to be true. The French go-
vernment had not thought fit to ask for any explanation,
and I do not think it is • matter in which the government
should come forward and make • communication respecting
it. (Hear, bear.)
Major KNOX wished break the hon. member for Halifax
whether it was true that his name appeared among the
majority of ten who voted in the division of last night, and
if so, whether it was not against the rules of the house for
him to take part in the dimwit,.
Mr. B. OSBORNE—Sir, the right hos. gentleman the
member for Oxfordshire, in the few remarks which
he made to the Louse, commenced by saying that
this was • painful subject. No doubt it
is a very painful subject, but somehow or other
I have remarked in the coulee of my parliamentary ex-
patience that there is nothing which this house so much
delights in. (Laughter.) Nothing which will bring snob
• numerous attendance as • purely painful and personal
subject—(" oh," and laughter)—god my noble friend the
member for Haddingtoushire (Lord Elcho), when he ad.
dressed himself with so much unction tonight to this
painful subject, may have reflected that this painful sub-
se was assuming the aspect of a painful persecution.
Cheers.) No two lads lately emancipated for the holidays
from scbool could, I am sum, have presided over
the impalement of a cockchafer with greater glee
than had the bon. gentleman the member for South-
ampton (Alderman Rose) and the noble lord
the member for Haddio tonshire (Lord Echo). Sir, the
civic dignitary, the hon. aldrman, having on • nowt occa-
sion, not being satisfied with hunting M. Miusini through
every gyration, put • question to the hon. member for
Halifax as to whether it was true that Martini bad ever
lived in his house, concluded by asking whether be paid
for his washing. (Roars of laughter.) To-night another
bon. gentleman, • member from the sister country (Major
Knox) rises and asks the hog. member for Halifax whether
be voted is the majority. Why should he sot have voted?
Major KNOX—It was against the rules of the house.
Mr. B. OSBORNE—I have no sympathy whatever with
the views of the hon. gentlemen, but I wish to correct a
statement made by an hon. member opposite, that the hon.
member for Halifax had been offered • set in the cabinet.
Why, the boo. gentleman only fills • humble seat in the
Admiralty barge, and whet this persecution calls for is that
this clever young man shall be hunted out of this minor
office of the administration. lam reminded by the discus-
sion of last night that we have so little to do in the way of
real business that we appear to be doing nothing but de-
bating personal questions, and then getting up with hypo-
critical faces end saying they are very painful subjects
(Hear, hear.) It appears to me that, next to roasting •
bishop, there is nothing so agreeable to the house
as that of baiting • member of the admiuis-
tration. (Laughter.) Now, sir, I have no particular
confidence in her Majesty's government, or in any of the
members of the administration, but I should be ashamed of
myself if I were to pitch upon any one member, and that •
very humble member, who has no aristocratic COODOZiOIII,
and who has made himself a character by his remarkable
abilities, and hunt and bait him night after eight, end
use opprobrious expressions towards him, as we have
seen during the last few nights. (Hear, hear.) I lament
the indiscretion of the hon. gentleman in regard to M.
Marcia. I am not acquainted with M. Mancini,
end his views I do not much like, and I am not
very anxious to meet that gentleman at dinner or in this
house ; but let this be recollected, that Mazeini has not yet
been put upon his trial. He has to undergo a trial
in Paris on this very business which we are pow debating.
Therefore, if we are that which we are not, a judicial
assembly (because we are incapable and di-qualified by our
passions), do not let us condemn a man unbaud, nothav-
Mg the facts of the case before us. Now, as regards the in-
discretion of the hon. gentleman, I would ask the house in
sober sadness, are we not rather oarrylue this matter too
far? (Hear, hear.) We had the question debated last
night, and the hon. baronets have come out pretty strong.
(Laughter.) First we had the hon. baronet the member
for Devonshire (Sir L Palk), and then bat night we bad
another performer, for I never saw a melodramatic part
played so well as the dagger and bowl bi loess by the hoe.
baronet the member for Great Yarmouth (Sir H. Stracey)—
(much Isughte.)—who not only spoke but looked the
character. (Roars of laughter.) Well, sir, we had an
animated debate last night on the subject, and we came to
a division, and I voted with the majority, not that I ap.
proved altogether of the conduct of the hon. gentleman,
but I felt bound—as I always shell feel bound to—tete •
denial which he has given so explicitly—(ministerial
ebeers)—instead of taking a dirty advantage, and of wreak-
ing a small revenge on the government. (Hear, hear.)
An hon. member on the other side of the house, who rem-
sent' some place in Cornwell which I do not remember—
(laughter)—his referred to that respectable legal functionary
Mr. Celeraft—why and wherefore I cannot understand
—but if all the indiscretions of English gentlemen
. .

in their youth are to be visited upon them in ritee life,
would the boa. member (Mr. Haliburton) escape? (Hear,
hear.) I think the course which we are pursuing upon
this occasion is unworthy the character of an English par-
'Utmost, and if I were in the position of the hon. member for
Halifax—for I think the position which he holds in the
government is unworthy of his talents—l would resign,
and I would not consent to hold my seat while these im-
putations were hanging over me. (Hear, hear.) It is
unworthy of uses members of parliament, and it will not be
responded to out of doors, to bat night after night a junior
lord of the Admiralty. (Cheers.)
Mr. FITZGERALD said the question they hail now to
do with was not the position of a sulordinate member of
the government, but the position which the noble lord at
the head of the government had chosen to assume in
sanctioning the eulogiem which the bon. gentleman bad
passed upon Signor Mazzini, and in approving the conduct
of the lion. member in not removing the first night the
question was mooted the imputation which had been out
upon him.
Mr. NEWDECATE said they had now spent two
nights in attacking a member of the goveroment, because
he bad the indiscretion to Eonsort in former times with a
person who had been charged with instigating assassination,
but who he said abominated wassination. But be would
ask members on that side of the house who were so very
zealous in this matter, whether. if a similar course were
pursued towards them, imputations almost as grave might
not be brought against them. For had they not heard
session after session on that side of the House
defence of the brigands of Italy, men who burned
their prisoners and committed every kind of atrocity,
had they not heard members on that side of the Louse say
that such men were patriots? If laudation of such men
were made on one side of the house, he thought they should
show a little forbearance towards members on the other
side of the house when defending the character of those
with whom they had been associated. He did not think it
the duty of the opposition to waste the time of the house in
personalities to the interruption of the useful business of
' the country.
' Mr. D. GRIFFITH said he thought it was a rule when
any charge was brought against an hon. member that he
should withdraw when the division took place, but the hon.
member for Halifax voted io the majority last night. He
asked whether that was in accordance with precedent.
The SPEAKER said the rule was that no member should
vote on any question in which be had a pecuniary interest,
and also that if any positive charge were brought against
any member he slunld withdrew when the division was
taken. But the brine would remember that the terms of
the motion last night were whether or not a certain matter
required the serious 000aideration of the house ; and it cer-
tainly could sot be said that there had been any violation
of the rules of the house in the hon. member for Halifax
voting on the motion.

Mr. DENMAN' said he frankly avowed that when the
hors. member fur Halifax replied to the question of the
hon. member for Finsbury, his answer was not satisfactory
to a great majority on both sides of the house, certaioly
not to those on that (the ministerial) side • because in-
stead of answering the question categoricay, be allowed
himself to be carried away by his feelings. The hon. mem.
ber, however, was going on with deteth when he was met
by cries of "So, no," from all sides of the boom, which
prevented him going further into explanation. He believed
that that interruption arose from a feeling on the part of many
members, that further explanations would only enable the
police in foreign countries to get porereinion of what was
going on by those who were in the position of Martini. He
(Mr. Denman) hoped that the decision of the previous even-
ing would be adhered to ; and so far from weakening
her Majeety's government in the eyes of the country, he
believed that it would tend greatly to strengthen it ;
because it would show tbet they had such an amount of
fortitude, and such a sense of justice, that they would not
regard the 'needles of procureur-giverals abroad, and would
not discard a useful public servant simply because be had had
the iodiscretioo not to east off a friend. (Cheers.)
Sir J. FERGUSSON observed that if the boo, gentle-
man thought the question unimportant, this would be the
only country in the world where such an opinion of it would
prevail. What concerned the house was the fact that the
hon. gentleman had male friends with persons who 01111.
sophieed upon a loathsome crime, and had allowed hie house
to be made the means of communications between the
authors of moral or immoral theories of the dagger. For him-
self he saw with • feeling approaching to disgust so in-
discreet a person sittieg pest to the first minister of the
crown. (Cheers.)
In answer to Lord HOTHAM,
Sir C. WOOD said that the navy estimates would be
taken on Monday fortnight.

GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES BILL.
In answer to Sir W. FARQUHAR,
Mr. M. GIBSON said the Chancellor of the Exchequer
(who had left the house) wee under the impression that
some understanding would be come to for referring this bill
to a select committee to consider its clauses, but not to take
evidence upon the whole subject. If that course were
adopted the motion for going into committee would have
to be repeated, and the discusaioe could be resumed, with
the advantage that improvements might probably have been
introduced into the measure. He (Mr. Gibson) hoped that
that plea would be pursued.
Mr. HUNT inquired if it was proposed to submit the
financial calculations involved in the measure to the com-
mittee ?
Mr. GIBSON—No. The bill as it stood would be re-
tarred to the committee.
THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

Oa the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. GREGORY called attention to the demolition of
the fortresses at Corfu, and the neutralisation of the lonian
Islands. The hon. member observed that the manner in
which the foreign policy of the government was received in
that house was such as to raise • preeramption that the pub-
lic opinion of the country was not in favour of • system
which held up a sort of belance.sheet between concessions
to the strong and violence to the weak. He moved for all
papers upon the subject to the 14th of November, 1863, his
object being to ascertain from' these papers what was the
nature and the pressure brought to bear upon the noble lord
to induce him thus to have damaged the character of his
country.
The motion having been seconded,
Mr. SMOLLETT was not one of those who thought that
the renunciation by Great Britain of the protectorate of the
lonian Islands was • matter much to be lamented. So looses
the Islands were under the protection of Great Britain the
existence of these fortifications was • memorial of our folly,
but it was DOW wise that they should be destroyed in order
that thee should not fall into other hands, which was not
improbable, because he would not insure the throes of this
young king for two yews, even in one of the government
offices. (Laughter and cheers.) If they should fall into
other bands they would remains standing menace to Turkey.
Under all the circumstances he was glad that the Islands
had been handed over to Greece • whether to a republican
or monarchical government he did not are, out he was glad
that we had got rid of them. (Cheers.)
Mr. LAYARDsaid it was necessary the fortification; should
be destroyed, having regard to the spirit of the treaty of 1815.
Among the many complaint brought forward spinet the
British government was this, that we were removing the old
hutorial Venetian guns. Now that was entirely false. We
were only removing those guns which bad been placed there
by ourselves. There bad been no desire on our pert either
to endeavour to cheat or to humiliate the Greek govern-
meet. The hon. member opposite (Mr. Swollen) bad
characterised the government of England in the lonian
Islands as an odious oppression, and after having
made that statement, the only person be lauded was
the well-known "King Tom." (A laugh.) The hon. gentle-
loth bad also talked of our having employed decayed poll.
titian, as Lord High Commissioners; but surely it could
not be and that Sir Henry Storks was • decayed politician.
(Mr. Seousrr—His government was most odious to the
people.) It was well known that S'ir Henry Storks bad zealously
served her Majesty in different parts of the world—(hear,
hear)—and that at a time of great difficulty he had acted in
• firm and faithful manner, and so as to deserve the
gratitude of his own country and that of the
lonians, who he (Mr. Layard) believed would ever
cherish his memory as an enlightened ruler. (Cheers.)
He believed the great bulk of the population of the lonian
Islands would regret English rule. (Hear, hear.) He
believed that no people on the face of the earth were more
prosperous and happy than the population of those islands ;
and he only hoped that the time would not come when they
would regret the absence of British rule. He was surprised
that hie hon. friend did not blush to say that his noble
friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had
dirtied (the character of the country. He (Mr.
Layard) had some opportunity of judging of the
policy and opinions of his noble friend, and the con-
clusion at which he arrived was that DO man was more truly
desirous to promote liberal institutions, and at the same
time to observe the faith of treaties. Liberalism in these
days was considered to consist in a contempt of interna-
tional engagements and international treatise. (Ironical
cheers.) But his noble friend, in the true spirit of liberalism,
wished to promote the eause of constitutional and free
government, and at the ems time to respect international
obligations. (Heer, bear.) He believed that, if goads • proper
use of, the'cession of the looiaa Island. would contribute to
the prosperity of Greece; but if Corfu was made • basis of
aggression on neighbouring territory, then its cession instead
of proving • benefit to Greece, would ruder her condition
worse than it had been. With regard to the papers, he
thought it wnuld be advisable to give them to the end of
November. The treaty be expected would be signed shortly
after Easter, and then all the papers would be given.
(Hear, hear.)
Captain JERVIS said be heard with regret and surprise
the admission of the honourable gentleman the Under
Secretary for Foreign Affairs that they had handed
over • happy and contented population to • state of bank-
ruptcy and anarchy. He had always protested spinet
handing over these islands to Greece.
Mr. C. FORTESCCE said the time had now come when
the British government had seized • favourable oppor-
tunity of granting the prayers which bad been so
long urged upon Ibsen. No doubt the lonian people
were making some sacrifice of ease, comfort, and se-
curity for their patriotic wish, which, although it
had been opposed by political agitators, was, he had
no doubt, sincerely felt by many of • the enlightened
and cultivated lonians. They hoped and believed that the
looiaos would soon pass through their crisis of trial, and
that by union with a kindred race they would be developed
into • prosperous end well-governed people. It wee their
hope also that the irritation attending the change, and at-
tending the reatrictious which the British government had
bees compelled to impose for the welfare of the people
would pass away, and that the loniaus would look back
with good and kindly feelings to the power which had so
long ruled them, and at last had granted them that which
they so warmly desired. It was to be hoped that
they would forget those incentives to attack and
irritation which they still heard from some of
those in the islands, and from some to-night in that house.
His advice to the Connie people was that they would poi
out of mind those eloquent incentives to discontent towards
this country which they bad heard that night from his hon.
(need the vice-president of the lonian Society. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. FITZGERALD remarked that this was another in-
stapes where the government had meddled, and where in
meddling they had done no good for thou in whose favour
they had interfered, but had gravely compromised the credit
sal the character of the country.

The C H ANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the
policy of the government in ►greeing to surrender the pro-
tector►te of the Toni's bast:ids, and annexing them to the
kingdom of Greece, • measure which, he argued, had
been adopted in aocordance with the gement desire of the
lonian people to be united to Greece, and he believed it
was calculated to protect the interest.' of the entire Greek
monateLy.
Lord J. MANNERS had come to the conclusion, from
• consideration of the whole question, th►t in ceding the
lonian Islands to Greece • very foolish thing had been
dons, and that in • manner which bad dissatisfied every-
body.
Mr. CRILDERS said it was hardly fair to this go-
vernment to have • certain course pressed on them in one
year, and to be taunted for carrying it out the next. He
was quite certain that the house would do as the country
had already done—namely, ratify by its vote the policy of
her Majesty's government in ceding these islands to
Greece. (Hear, hetir.) . .

~.___,
Mr. CAVE defended Sir H. Storks, who, be
said, bed been most unjustly attacked by the boo.
member for Dumbartonshire. Before Sr Henry's
tints the governors managed the islands by leaving
the whole patronage in the baud, of the great fami-
lies, who in their own way made things plessaut with the
people. Sir Henry Storks was determined to alter this
system, to rule as well as to govern, and the consequence
was that them- great families immediately commenced to
mist against him. He was exposed in fact to their intrigues
in hie OWD cabinet. He believed that when the present ex.
ritement bad pulsed away the people of the lonian Islands
',mild preserve no unfriendly recollection of Sir Henry
Storks.
. . . . . _

Mr. (;RIFFITTI complained that parliament bad not
been consulted respecting this annexation at an earherstage
of the proceedings. Every authority had is fact been cos-
suited except the British parliament.
Mr. t: EGultY then withdrew the motion, and the
house went into committee of supply pro forma.
