Her Majesty's ship Royal Albert, Spithesd, July 18.
Monsieur le Marechal,—l hear with pleasure that your
Excellet.cy proposes to accompany my most gracious
Sovereign the Queen to Cherbourg, and I hope that you
may not consider me very presumptuous in aspiring to the
honour of conveying your Excellency and suite in your
o!r1 acquaintance the Bora Albert. Independently of
the honour of having so distinguished a guest on board
my flagship, it will be a very high gratification to me to
be again in social intercourse with the great commander
of whose deeds of arms and friendliness towards my
countrymen I was a daily witn!sa throughout the Crimean
expedition.
I have the hour to be, Monsieur Je MarecheJ, with
sentiments of the highest consideration, your Excellency's
most faithful aervan.i, . . : LIOSs.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—..SATURDAY.
The house met to•day to forward certain bills.
On the order for going into committee on the
Probates and Letters of Administration Act Amend-
ment Bill,
Lord 1:10111/01 moved to defer the committee until
Monday.
The ATTORNEYZENERAL stated his views and ins
tentions with reference to the bill and to the proposed
amendments.
The motion was, after some discussion, negatived,
upon a division, by 42 to 17, and the house went into
committee upon the bill, which was amended in some
of as provisions.
'file house then went into committee upon the
Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act Amendment Bill,
which was likewise amended, several new clauses
being added.
The Metropolis Local Management Act Amend-
ment Bill was read a third time and passed, after
some observations by Mr. Coningham, Mr. S.
Wortley, Lord Ebrington, and Sir C. Burrell.
Certain other bills were also read a third time and
passed.
The house adjourned at a quarter past three o'clock.

HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY.
THE TURNER PICTURES.

The Earl of DERBY, in reply to Lord St. Leonards,
stated that the Government would use its best
exertions to fulfil the obligation attached to the
bequest by the late Mr. Turner of pictures to the
nation.
The Atlantic Telegraph Company Bill was read a
third time.
The Cornwall Submarine Mines Bill was read a
second time.

THE RIGHT OF VISIT.
Lord LYNDHURST asked the Foreign Secretary
whether he was prepared to lay on the table or the
house the correspondence with the American Go-
vernment with respect to the right of visit. There
was a belief in some quarters that we had surren-
dered a most valuable and impottant right. We had
done no such thing. We had abandoned the assump-
tion of a right, and in so doing bad acted justly,
prudently, and wisely. He quoted various high au-
thorities to show that the right of visit never existed
legally.
The Earl of MALHESBURY, in renly, stated that her
Majesty's Government had no objection to lay the
correspondence, so far as it, went, on the table. The
opinion of the law officers of the Crown was taken
before a reply was sent to the note of General Cass.
That opinion coincid..id with the views just expressed
icy Lord L.ndhurst. As the question now stood, the
English Government bad abandoned the right of
search and visit, and the American Government had
agreed to entertain and consider in a fair spirit any
suggestions to obtain security against the fraudulent
adoption of the American flag. The French Go-
vernment had been communicated with, and was
ready, and even anxious, to assist us in attaining
that object.
The Earl of ABERDEEN stated that the whole
question was virtually settled when he was at the
Foreign-office in 1842 and 1843.
THE LAW OF COPYRIGHT.
Lord LYNDHURST presented petitions from the
Society of Arts, from the Royal Institution of British
Artists, and from a great number of artists, praying
for the extension of the law of copyright. After
enumerating a number of facts to point out the
necessity of such extension, he moved that a com-
mittee for the purpose should be appointed, and the
members named at once.
The motion was at once acceded to.

SPECIAL SERVICES BILL.
The Earl of \VIGILLow asked the Bishop of London
whether this bill bad been withdrawn in the House
of Commons with bis sanction. Also, whether it
was true that Westminster Abbey was about to be
closed.
The Bishop of LONDON knew little of what took
place in the other house. He recommended Lord •
Wicklow to read the printed correspondence on the
subject. Westminster was not within his jurisdic-
tion. The Dean and Chapter acted entirely on
their own responsibility. There was no connection
between the Westminster Abbey services and those
f Exeter•hall.
The Friendly Societies Act Amendment Bill was
read a second time.
The County Property Conveyance Bill went
through committee.
The following bills were read a third time end
passed;—The Four Courts (Dublin) Extension ;the
Enclosure of Lands; the Sheep, Jo., Contagious
Diseases Prevention ; the Turnpike Acts Conti:m-
imeo; and the Vaccination (Iceland).
GOVEENXENZ OS NEW nelancatta BILL.
The Eatl of CARNARVON moved the second reading
of this bill.
