The English funds continue to rise, owing mainly
to the preponderance of investments, and the influx
of bullion. The advance established to-day was equal
to to * per cent., and the market closed firmly at
the highest point of the day. A statement that the
Vienna Conferences are about to be resumed, coupled
with the general belief that the division on Mr.
Disraeli's motion will result in a large majority in
favour of the Cabinet, assisted the upward tendency ;
but the immediate features of importance are the
want of employment for capital, the large imports of
specie, and the sustained favourable aspect of the
foreign exchanges. The existing demand for good
securities of all kinds evidently exceeds the supply,
and prices thus advance without any important as-
sistance from speculation.

At Paris today the French funds rose 1 per oent.,
following the rise of similar extent reported yester-
day. The other continental stock markets are firm,
with, in some cases, an improving tendency.
Consols were first quoted 901 to 91, and had ad-
vanced at the close of tlte house to 911 to 1 for money
and the 30th inst. Subsequently the price was
quoted 911 to 1. The " contango" for the new
account of the 10th Judy was 4 per cent., including
the income tax. The official business report is as
follows : Three per Cent. Consols for money, 91,
901, 911, 911, 911; ditto for account, 30th inst., 91,
901, 91/, 91, 911. Three per Cents. Reduced, 891,

Business is also recorded in the New 30 Years An-
nuities at 161 to 16 11-16 per 11. The omnium was
first marked 21 prem., and closed at n to 31 prem.,
being the highest price it has yet touched.
The March Exchequer Bills were quoted 12s. to
16s. prem.; ditto advertised, 4s. to 7s. prem.; and
Exchequer Bonds, 100.
Foreign stocks were quiet, but firm.
The railway share market maintains a firm appear
anus, and is unmarked by fluctuation. This depart-
ment of the Stock Exchange is strengthened by the
fact that the decline in the value of money will enable
railway companies to effect a considerable saving of
interest as their debentures become renewable.

The corn market to-day was firm, and wheat was
quoted a trifle dearer than on Monday.
The undermentioned vessels have arrived from

Australia—viz , the Wooloomooloo, front Sydney,
sailed Feb. 24, with 509 ounces of gold on freight;
the Waterloo, front Sydney, Feb. 17, with 1,936
ounces ; the rwell, front Melbourne, March 2, with
32,607 ounces; the Fop Bmit, from Adelaide, Jan. 30;
the Stebonheath, from Melbourne, Feb. 15, with
13,661 ounces; and the Fortuna and Edith Rose,
both from Melbourne. The dates brought by these
vessels are in each cue old. The Iberia has also
brought in 10,2781. in specie from the Peninsula, and
the Euxine 8,1621, front India, &c. These arrivals
represent an aggregate value of about 213,0001.
Nearly the whole of these supplies is expected to be
sent at once into the Bank, there being no continental
demand for gold, owing to the firmness of the ex-
changes.
The foreign exchanges this afternoon maintained
firmness. Quotations ruled generally the same as on

Tuesday.
The Emigration Commissioners advertise for ten-
ders (to be received on the 31st inst.) for the hire of a
ship to proceed to Moreton Bay, and which must be
ready to receive passengers between the 23d and 30th
of July.
The East India Company will receive tenders on
the 30th instant for the conveyance of troops from
England to Calcutta.
The Admiralty have ordered the ships Marchion-
ess of Bute, Albion, Confucius or Honduras, to be
surveyed for the transport service.
The tallow market this afternoon was flatter, on
the news from Vienna, and closed at 53e., "sellers,"
for October to December.
St. Petersburg advices to the 17th inst. quote the
exchange on London at 36 to 36: d. A few pur-
chases of tallow are reported.
The colonial wool sales, which commenced on the
3rd instant, closed yesterday. The quantity sold was
10,344 bales Australian, 20,233 Victoria, 1,228 Van
Diemen's Land, 1,293 Adelaide, 105 Swan River,
254 New Zealand, 9,761 Cape, 224 Russian Merino,
1,154 do. coarse, 333 Spanish, 1,849 Egyptian, Tur-
key, and Mediterranean, 1,216 Buenos Ayres, 818
Sundries ; total, 43,208 bales colonial, 3,704 East
India and China, and 5,694 foreign. The attendance
of buyers from the commencement to the close has
been large, and prices have improved for many de-
scriptions of wool from id. to 1:d. per lb. since the

opening.

(Cheers, and some expressions of derision.) If the party
opposite would call down upon us the meson of the horns,
they oeght to have some better grouads for it. I pass that
by—l accept the challenge they give us. Sir, I heard the
speech of my right hon. friend last night (Mr. Gladstone)
with admiration, no doubt, but with cioasiderable pain,
because he appeared not only to condemn the conduit
of the war, bat in the conduding portion of his
speech it appeared to me that his opinions were
adverse to the war, advent to the expeditiou to the
Crimea, and adverse to the terms of peace, on which we
are prepared to conclude the war; and yet my right hen.
friend was a party to all of these things. (Chinn) I re-
gret that any entwinement should, since he quitted the
government, have so entirely altered his opinions on those
'objects. Now, it appears that there are two &residential*
Is the discussion. There are those, spin the one hand,
who think we have not been sufficiently vigorous in the
prosecution. of the war ; and others who wish to drive the
country into pewee upon terms which I think not consistent
with the honour and interests of the country. The justice
sad anessity of the war have boon admitted by all exo:pt •
very small portion of this home. It arose not simply from
the unhappy events which caused the rupture ; but during
• bag period it has been the standing policy of Russia to
wean and crumble down and ultimately to appropriate
Turkey. It has been openly avowed of late that such was
the *ley of Peter, of Catherine, of Alexander, and of
Niehaus ; it was the settled policy of Ran* which broke
oat inset& • musner as to render further passiveness on our
part impossible. I am not regrind, thee, to de-
had this war. The satin is isamenties about it.
I must agree with the honourable member who
beisjust spoken, that being *singed in it we are bound to
may it on with vigour and energy, and to close it with •
peace not only lienourable, bet that shall neompllah the
purpose for whisk the war was undertakes. Why, air, that
purpose is the protection of Turkey ; net amply foe any
sympathy we may feel for Turkey, bet because the Wham
of power in Europe—ea expressos whisk Jannis the
gnat interests of the civilian world—is eoseeraed in pre-
venting the colossal power of Russia from 'Mending over
this wide and important territory. Welt, we have been told
that the war has done nothing. We are ready to admit
that, begioning on a sudden, with • peace establishment, s
war with • great antsgonlatie power, altar 40 years' peace, it
was to be expected that there noald be in the administration
of the different departments some misnames and mistakes
whisk would occasion greet evils. But it buboes said we made
&groat mistake in going to the Crimea. Sir, I contend that
wee precisely the expedition we ought to have undertaken to
bring the war to • speedy and successful conelesion. Why if
we had gone to Bessarabia, dour army had entered the
interior of Russia, they would have boon fight-
ing far away from their own communications, and from any
basis of operations, far from their supplies and reinforce-
sesta ; and there was no point to achieve which would
haeopeoduesd any denies result. We went to the Crimea,
Mil lithe nip of Sebastopol, became it was in the Black
Sea that the danger to Turkey priacipally lay ; and be-
ams, if we had sounded in taking that fortress and the
den, we should have given security to Taney. That being
the object, that being the blow which, when streak, would
dopoiee Russia of the mean of local aggression, I say the
Caere was the place to which our troops could
be most advantageously sent. Now, it is said we have
pat ourselves too much in the hands of Austria.
I think it was sound policy to accept the good offices of
Austria, to get her upon our aide, in the field, if we could, ,
sr, Mall events, to have her friendly concurnace in policy. ,
That we have accomplined. It has not suited the policy of ,
Austria to declare herself an active ally; bat we have her ,
good offices and the benefit of her nutrality, is an armed
position, which has been a powerful military diversion in ,
ear favour. If instead of engaging to defend the Princi- ,
polities she had stood by, the Turks would have been obliged
to keep • large army oa their frontier, and we might have
been obliged to afford them military support. The convention '
between Austria and Turkey shut the door to invasion from
Russia, and has enabled Omer Paths, with that gallant
army which repelled the Russians on the Danube, to co-
operate with us in the Crimea. dine than that, the Rus-
non government have been obliged to keep a considerable
army on the frontiers of Gslhcia, to watch Austria. It is, •
therefore, untrue to say that Austria has been of no ad- ,
vantage to the allies. Then, would it have beer. polihe to
refuse the good offices of Austria, to obtaio, if possible, the
consent of Russia to the terms •ettled between the
three governments? If we had totalled them, we .1
should have deserved censure and disapprobation. '
But, although negotiating at Vienn ~ we had omitted '
nothing which could possibly have been don to prosecute I
the war as it no negotiations had taken place. And what ',
, his been the result ? We have • Met which will blockade

Now, with regard to these negotiations, I deny that our

I There has been mush criticism on the coediting* of the
I negotiations. My right ken. friend said, that we had got
three mien and a Wiest of four points. That is a cones-
anoneade of treating arithmetically a great political question;
Mt emote that third pent had been the possession of Si.
Petersburg, or the separation of Poland, would it be said
that we should not haggle about that single point ?
(Chain.) What is that point he treats so lightly ? It was
*e revision of the treaty of 1841, for two porpoise.. One
wee to attach more closely the existence of Turkey to the
balsam of power in Europe. There is mere of apparent
, thee reel value in that, for the Turkish empire has, even in
font, ever since 1841, ben recognised as belonging
to the European balance. Bat the second purpose
was really of vane : it was to put an end to '
the prenderance of Russia in the Black Sea.
Why, so po
loog is Russia has, in her great harbour of Sebas-
topol, • powerful fleet ready to sally fortis with • large army
within forty-eight hours' sail of Constantinople, Turkey is
evidently exposed to a continual danger. But my right hon.
Mend says it would be • humiliation to Russia to impose
ea her a diminution of her navy. That might be said of any
audition by which • power binds itself net to do that which
it would otherwise have • right to do. But if she be sincere
is her declarations. it is so humiliation to Russia. (Hear,
Mar.) It is said there will be danger to Runt.;
that Turkey may bring • large fleet up through
the Bosphorus. It Is the first time I ever heard
of the wolf requiring security against the aggressions of the
iamb. (A laugh.) The idea of Russia needing security
ionise an attack from Turkey is merely fanciful. We are
told the best security would be to open the straits to
fleets of alt nations. Then you would 'zoom the Sultan to
have incoming before his palace windows • hostile fires at
any time. Again, Russia has said that the Sultan might
call in the filets of his allies to assist him when threatened
with danger. Thank you for nothing. I say to Rossia,
that is a right Inherent in the Sultan as an lode-
pathlat sovereigs. (Chows.) It is • mockery to
ray that, whatever be stipulated by the treaty
of 1841, be has not the power of doing so,
without any eneession by Russia. But we are content-
,
plating. not a period when England and France with war

THS VIENNA CONFERENCE&
Berl GREY, is • apologia of considerable Meath, moved
the following reeolutioes:
"That sa bumble address be remote& to hoe Majesty,
" To thank her Majesty for bars' ordered the protocols
of rte recent negotiations at Vises to be kid before us ;
!: To inform her Majesty that this home deeply deplores

which all the original objects of the war might have bees
pined, and by which her Majesty and her allies might have

The Earl of CLARENDON thought that his noble

of their lordship would doubt that his opinions were honest

Mend thought that he had a public semis to performs ; but,
Me the ether hand, he might be permitted to my that the
maim was to him a matter of deep regret, as well in its
aim as in the mama in which his noble friend had sup-

the war was neither a just nor necessary war.

no wish for war for its own sake. (Cheers.) He did
thick that the people were not labouring ander the want of
appreciation which his noble friend supposed, for the
apeesbes that had been made, the documents that had been
published by this and other governments, and the very
able ma in which the matter had been treated in all
it) phases la the public papers, had exposed the matter, and
hs4 given ample materials for Joining an opinion as to the
war. To their objects the government bad adhered, and
they had no intention to rause the nationalities or to adopt
They adhered their objects, which were to protect Turkey
and to tree Europe from the weight of danger which it had
been adder—(cheep)—sod they thought that those objects
would he secured by annulling all those treaties which had
been often productive of evil; to cause the protection of
Rawls in the Principalities to male, sod to remove all the
obstacles to a free navigation of the Danube, and to unite
Turkey with the system of European equilibrium, sot by
preventing Russia from having any exclusive right of loses-
rents in Turkey. If such a peace were honestly accepted and
honestly aeted on, it woe!d, be believed, secure the oblects
which they bad in view. His noble friend had dwelt on
these things, being, as he said, humiliating to Russia; but
Russia had accepted the principles on whisk to rest for
peon—(cheers)—and y were supported by Austria, who
had; used iht same laaguage as themselves, and recom-
mended the terme with the same caroostness as France
and England had, and therefore time could be 'whim
contrary to the dignity of Russia in the terms. His noble
friend had said that even if they had obtained all these
things they would have afforded no security. His noble
friend knew the value of treaties, which must always de•
peed on the good faith with which they were entered into
and misted on. and there was no treaty which could protect
Talkey against a powerful maighbour if that neighbour
were determined to act unscrupulously against her ; but that
was no »aeon why they should not guard Turkey as much
as possible from the danger with which she was threatened.
Abet had taken place before Sebastopol reflected high
honour on the Reiman troois, bet it showed that the stores
which had been accumulated there were meant to threaten
Turkey, and that showed the danger to which Turkey bad
been exposed, and Europe mestria st the same time ; and
it was not only there, but everywhere throughout Russia,
the: found the same accumul dims of military atone and
preparations fur defence, which showed that she expected
that the position she was occupying would sooner or
later excite the alarm of all Europe. His friend
had criticised what had men said by Lord John Russell,
bet he had not borne to mind that the preponderating in-
fluence of Russia in the Bleck Sea did not cow exist. Tits
yogis aco they were told that if Behind and France
enteied the Black Sea, Remits would consider it as r, Caplet
bells; and Doe their fiesta sweep its waters, and there was
no Russian left there. They did not wish to inseam terms
to humble Russia, but to secure Turkey. But Russia said
she would not submit to what she considered interfereom
with her tights in her own dotnintons, and that she had a
right to accumulate all Kinds of stores to threaten Turk-y.
Dios that principle confidence could not be restored.
Hie noble (fiend had eel. tiled torte difficulty which the Res*
Sian fleet would have in ring toConstestanopleibutthey knew
that 16,000 men had been shipped very speedily en board
the Russian fleet without the knowledge at the time of
Estop, and it was quite perathl• that a fatal blow might
thus be given to Turkey, for the arrival of so large a forme

Casey were overthrown, it could not be restored. Bat
Rued' affirmed that her li,et would be wanted for the per
Medea of Turkey. Could Russia pretend that there was
any dupe to Turkey from the maritime power, or
that they hid any object in going into the Black
Sea against Turkey, and that Russian interference
would be required ? (Cheers.) But Russia proposed
te open the Biplanes, and that she should have free accese
to the Kediterraaese, no as to aim her an opportunity to
disturb the population of the Greek islands; and she also
proposed—which his noble friend emeidered an ample main
pawed—that Turkey should he at liberty to call into the
Slosh Sea the allies wh ber security was in danger.
Bat the seceritv of Turkey would be always in danger from
eaelk • lea Russia proposes to keep, mad the allies would
usher be able to say that her call, for amiataam should not
belistened to ; and the erult would be that, as a esters for

would have to ester 101 l securities for Russia keep-

not be able to interfere is time. Russia would be master of
her own policy and of her own time; she would not under-
take awe attack, perhaps, till there had been a large increase

beep our fleet in the Mtditerr , when it might be
wanted to protect our own shores. Russia still claimed her

and she had refused to j .tie tee other powers is guarantee-
ing the independence of Turkey, nod she had no right to

Earl GREY, in reply, oorneted some misrepresentations
which he said had been made of his stattamats in lam-
clueing the motion. He thought the four petals were rift-
sonable point% but he contended that the oonstramion put
by Rusemos the third point ought to have been estertainsd.
Zhu war, he matioaded, had arisen from a etimmilevetand-
lag between Russia and the Western Pewees, which might
have helm removed by a few words. He allowed that Rama

he wrong ia the occupatiodce of the Priacipalitlia, and that
in t course she had sin punned, up to the Vienna oon-
fermate, she was greatly to blame. His motion had only
been mu by those arguments which were always employed
spinet the opponents of a popular war. In answer to this
he would merely say, that it wee partible for a action to be
wrong as well as en individual. Surely, they were not to
be told that, :in a free country, those who disapproved
of the war were not to Wise their voices against
it, lest they should give enconsagessut to the
enemy. If this were so, a free
matescoutry would
be in a worse position than the utter des-
potism. He did not regret that he had brought forward
the motion; but he would not take the advice of Lord
Derby to divide the house. He would rather take the
advice of those who recommended him to withdraw it,
knowing that it would be supported by a very limited
cumber; for more than one who would have supported it
were unavoidably absent. (Laughter.)
The motion was then withdrawn.

SOLDIERS FROM THE CRIMEA.
Mr. OLIVEIRA asked the Uuder-Seentary for War,
whether soldiers who had served in the Crimea, and were
invalided at Scutari, and whose families were then provided
for at home, had, since their return home to hospital, been
subjected to a deduction of 104. per day from their pay, and
that- families left destitute ?
Mr. PEEL said that the usual deductions had been made
from the pay of men who were on furlough.
MEDALS FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
Mr. STAFFORD wished to know whether arrangements
bad been made for forwarding medals to wounded soldiers
who had returned from the war and were residing with
their friends ?
Mr. PEEL said that 2,000 were in the hands of Hunt I
and Roskeli,which would be delivered when finished to three
soldien who had not been present at the distribution. 8.000
would be sent fortnightly to the Crimes, and those soldiers I
who had received their medals without clasps would receive
gertificates which would entitle them to have their clasps
atm hed la the other clues mentioned the manufacturers
would transmit them to the respective homes of the soldiers.
THE LATE CONFERENCES.
Mr. ROBBUCH—I wish to ask the First Lord of the
Treasury a qaestion. There is • report current out of
doors that the conferences at Vienna have been renewed ;
I wish to know whether government has received any refor-
mation to that effect?
Lord PALMERSTON —No eonferenee has been held
since the last reeotded in the papers, and before any fresh
conferences can be held her Majesty's minister at Vim's&
must receive authority tram here to attend them. (Laughter)
Mr. M. GIBSON—The noble lord's answer to the bon.
member for Sheffield was not andentored here. (Laughter.)
The noble lord stated • few days siace that the conferences
Isere not finally closed, only suspended, and that Lord
Westmoreland retained fall powers. (Hear, hear.) I wish
On know therefore from the noble lord whether those powers
have been withdraws, and, if so, when ?
I Lord PALMERSTON—The powers have not been with-
' drawn. Lord Westmoreland still possesses them, but it is
one thing to prawn powers and another to surmise them in
circumstances not considered favourable by the government
at home. (Load laughter.)
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
The motion wee put and agreed to, that the house at its
rising adjourn to Monday, the 4th of June.
THE ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Mr. WHITESIDE, in resuming the adjourned debate,
mid that the beet vindication of the motion of his right hoe.
irked was to be found in the speeches of the noble lord the
member for London and of the right hon. member for
Ozford Unieenity--speeches which, like the oration for
Hilo. would have been elaborately prepared, but never
delivered bad it not been for his right hon. friend's motion.
'laving listened to these two able speeches, he would ask
whether soy assemblage of reasonable men could doubt
lre justice of the charge of his right honour-
able friend, that there was ambiguity of language
and uncertainty of purpose in the conduct of the pre-
sent and late governments. He could Inertly help asking
Ste aohle lord and the tight hoe. gent eman whether they
had seer met in the cabinet to discuss the question of
peeve or war—(cheers)—and if they had were their opinions
at the time as ocatradictorr as those which had been ex-
pressed by them on the previous evening. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LOWE moved an amendment enunciating the opi-
nion that the refusal of Russia to limit the strength of the
Black Sea Seat had ezhausted the means of owning to an
agreement on the third point of the negotiations.
Mr. Disraeli's resolutions were opposed by Mr. CAI-
LIT, and defended by Lard Sys. ILST. Mr. ROONDIILL
PAMIRS advocated peace by negotiation.
Mr. LATARD esesebaded a speech, in which he reviewed
the whole course bosh of the war and of the nenotiations,
by some remarks upon the speech of Lord Joss ittrassu,
..0 the previous evening. The hon. member supported Mr.
ameadessaL
Lord PALSIBESTON—The hon. gentleman who has
just sat down has said most truly that this is a great
country at present is • great emergency, and that they,
ediatsy would follow any leader who would lead it to
wagons, and to glory. Is spite of what has been 'aid by
the hon. member, in ski!e of what boa been said by any of
hose who in this house or out of it Bad fault with the
coriductef the government, I will venture to airs thy
trine who see now entrasted with the conduct of the asks
of the country will, as fez as human power will suable thew

Russian foreeirere kept sham within debt of the Turkish
oldie', ready* eSpeat, more skilfelly, the operations which
Neetchikoff thmatened and afarwarde attempted T You
may depend upon it, Russia would not again commit the
mistake of invading Turkey on the land side, exposing her
array to the eliesate, the march. and to resistance on the
Danube. She has a much shorter cut from Sebastopol is
Constantinople, and an easier plan of operations. (Heas,
hear.) For bee owe defence, the Black Su lest W proved
to be unnecessary, arid there is no pretence for her refusing
te give to limps and Turkey that pledge of honest inten-
tions, and of a friendly disposition, which we require, is
ceasseting to its limitation. (liear hear.) But the hon
gentleman (Mr. Layerd) says the four points fall
short of what was necessary. Nothing could be more
unbecoming thee foe government to hold out en
pectatius beyond what they see their way to
accomplish. We are engaged in a great operation ; we trust
and hope we shall be succusful, and we think it will lead to
attaining these conditions which England and France have,
in the present state of the contest, a right to demand. Bet
if, unfortunately, the war should take a wider range—if
other powers take • part in the contest, we cannot tie oar
hands by any such conditions—and England and France
have recorded that they are at liberty to make any addi-
tional demands which by the success of the war may be
justified, and which they regard as necessary for the general
interests of Europe. But it would nut be worthy of a great
country, when eagaged in a war of such importance as this,
and in a clause which is so clear and definite, to hold eat
expectations by which any partite may be misled, so u is
commit themselves in a manner fatal to their own interests.
Our duty is to confine ourselves to that in which we see
one way. And Ido say that we do ate our way to soccer
in the °pastime in which we are now engaged; and la
spits of all the difficulties we have had to surmount, and of
all the mischances which have happened, I think we hue
turned the point; I think we are now in a condition Is
which—the government with whom we are oen-
toadies having refused those fair conditions which,
in conjunction with France, and with the ap-
probation of Austria, we have proposed —we
may feel confident that we can carry on our operations of
war with a fair prospect of that success which England and
France are bound to obtain. I say we are bound to obtain,
bemuse it le impossible for England and France, when en•
gaged in a peat contest, to fail in accomplishing their object.
It would not be simply the disappointment of a particular
object in view, it would be the abnegation of the proud
position they hold, because we should sink into the condi-
tion of a 'second rate power. (Hear.) The right hon.
gentleman can eloquently descant on the calamities of
war ; no man will be insensible to them. But I say there
are things worse than war ; dishonour to a country is worse
than war —(cheen) ;—I do not mean worse merely in
opinion, but it brings on even physical afflictions greater
than those ' of the temporary exertions made in wow.
(Cheers.) I say, therefore, the party who would induce this
country to abandon the contest upon unsatisfactory
and insufficient grounds, if their opinion prevailed,
would be fatal to the beet interests of their
eeuntry. (Cheers.) The house is called upon to
pronounce its opinion tonight upon two great
sad important question'. First, upon the existence of a
ministry, which some men may think of slight importance.
If it depended upon a sugar bill, a timber bill, or any
matter of mere party conflict, I should say parliament
might deal with it on simply personal grounds, and with
out regarding the corsequences. But there is a far greater
question, which is—the policy of the country, its position
among the nations of the world, our alliances with foreign
governments—almost the future reputation, the honour,
and the d t interests of England. (Cheers.) Ob-
viously the object of the right honourable gen-
tleman is, that this house should pronouns
the government incompetent, and remove us from ease.
Well, then, who is to succeed us ? (Cheers.) We are told
we have sot shown administrative ability, and are not united.
I deny both the one and the other. (Cheers.) Is it to the
opposite ranks we are to look for that ability and unanimity?
The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod here cams in and'
summoned the Speaker to receive the royal assent to certain
bill
The Sesuntit Laying been absent nearly 20 minutes,
returned, and read the titles of the bills to which the rwya
went had been gee. n.
Lord PALMERSTON again rose, and was greeted with
loud cheers. He said—l have certainly some reason to
complain of t`te anticipatory censure of the other house,
who have so prematurely inflicted the rod. (Laughter.)
I was proceeding to say tbait the question which the right
hon. gthtleman had submitted was an invitation to the
hoes. to determine that the present government did not
possess the coafidence and was unworthy of the support of
the country, and the inference naturally drawn was that
some other pasty is entitled to the coufidence of the house
and the country. Now I say that one reproach made
against those who now form the government, is • supposed
want of unity of opinion on matters of urgent importance,
domestic and !bulge, and a disinclination ,o enter upon the
tuition of administrative reform. I was proceeding to ask
the house whether they saw on the benches opposite any
granter
unity of opinion than is observable on this aide of the
1 It you take, for example, domestic affairs, I ask
yes whether on the question it the people are to be educated,
any government that is to be firmed from the benches
opposite is to be guided by the right hon. gentleman the
member for Droitwich, sr by the right honourable gentle-
man the nenther for Oafordshire;? (" Hear, hear," and
laughter.) If thet proposer' government are to be judged by
their foreign policy, I ash whether they are to be judged by the
declarations ot the hon. and learned member for Ennis-
killen, or by those of the noble lord the member for Lynn,
—whether, in fan, according to those two statements, the
war is to be prosecuted with vigour, or peace is to be pur-
chased at any price ? With regard to administrative capa-
city, I may remind the house that it was not long ago that
the head of that party bad a commission to form an admiaie-
tration. That noble lard, putting the good of his country
above all personal end selfish feeling, greatly to his
credit cunfeesed that in his own party he had not the ele-
ments out of which he could form a government. (Hear.)
What has happened since I don't know that has induced
the members of that party to present themselves with more
confidi ace to conduct the affairs of the country. (Hear.). I
leave it to the house and to the country to determine
wherein consists the preference between them and ns.
(Hear, bear.) This I will admit in their favour, that
judging from the speech of the right hon. gentleman, the
member for Buckieghernshire, and judging from the speech
if the hon. and learned member for Enniskillen, to-
gether with that of the noble lord the member fur Lynn,
—judging, I say, from their speeches and the resolutions now
biters the home, I am bound to say that if this house and
the country were to transfer the government into their
hands, they would have • pledge that they would carry on
the war with as much vigour, and for the same objects as
wears now coot/n(1313g tor. (Civets.) I see no difference
between them end us on these points, and therefore the ap-
peal they make to the house to transfer power from us to
them in not founded upon any censure of the general policy
We have thought it our duty to adopt, but upon the presumed
ides that they would carry on the war with more force—fur
this it is impossible to conceal, for the greater part of their
resolution I. • vote of approbation of the government
I—(" Oh, ob," and laughter)—yes, assuring the crown of
their support of the nano urns which the government have to
'the best of their judgment carried out. There is one alter-
native which is o;.en to the house. They may choose ,
to transfer the government from those who sit
here, to those who sit on the opposite benches.
There is another choice presented by the right hon. gentle ,
man the member for the University of Oxford, and those 1
who think with him, who would be ready to accept peace at ,
limy price, who would accept peace upon conditions which I i
and the country thirst dishonourable—dishonourable to the ,
country and dangerous to its future interests. (Cheers.) ,
Well then I venture to say, without any disrespect to those
gentlemen, for many of whom indeed I have the greatest ,
possible respect, and whose talents are well known to the
house and to the country, that if a government were now ,
formed by them on those principles there is not ,
one of them, who would be re-elected by their coned-
tunnies. (Loud cheers.) Now the choice lies between
the two sides of the house, end I contend that we, 1
to whom the government has for some time past ,
been committed, have dune nothing to forfeit the good
1 oinion with which we were honoured, for we have tikes
II every measure to prosecute with vigour a WOW WWieb WO and
the country believed to be necessary and just. I think the
result will show that we have cot been undeserving of the ,
sonfidence which was reposed in us on our advent to power, ,
and that we shell be able to realise the expectations of those ,
who are looking with unity to the result. of the war.
(Clieers.) Tke late of battles is in the buds of a higher
I power. It is sufficient that men upon whom such.respon-
bilities rest should do all its their power to obtain
I sumer. That we have duet, and all I can say is this, that
it we succeed we shall Wive the satisfaction of knowing that
our success has bees beoagkt about by perseverance and
determination, by the exertions we have wade to secure it,
without proclaiming day after day the steps we have taken
for its ascompliehment. (Cheers.) Whatever may be the
decision of this night wh may be the relative strength
of partieein this house, I am convinced that the country is
in earnest shoat the war, and I am satisfied that the people
of England will give their support to any goverament that
will in this respect endeavour to execute the will of the
British nation. As tar as the country generally is concerned
1 I ios.k with comparative indiffi-rence to the result of
, this motion. I know that the will of the country must be
obeyed, and 1 know that that will is Oa, Ragland having
wpAoged in a just and necessary war in concert with her
gr .at ally and neighbour, France, it must and shall succeed
- -(loud cheers)—and tut this country will IIIIO,T any
government to be false to the trust Mated in them. We
nave out shrunk from that duty, and I am persuaded that
ulterior events will show that we can claim from the house
and the country a verdict of approbation for the manner in
which we base performethe great duties which have de-
d upon ue, while weehan at the same time be able to
show that it is without justice that we have been accused of
slidukieg from obligations the falfilmeat of which the
eseetry has expected at our hands.
Mr. DISRAELI, in reply, said that if he wanted aey Pas
tification for the course he had pursued, it might be found in
the speech which the noble lord had just nelitered. Was
that the minister who, on last Monday evening, evaded
every inquiry, and to every question put to him—he e..eti,
not any Goal 01, for that would be unparliamentary—indeed
the phrase rose to hie lips in the beat of debate—but who
used every eff wt in order that the Rouse of Commons
I
should not have any hint from hi. as to the resolutions the
I government had taken en the subject of the war? Was that
the minister who, on Monday last, refuted to sanction the
measure of the right hon. geotlemao, the member for Kau-

I every amendment that had been proposed was • complete
ljustification of the resolution he bad proposed. Whatever
might be the result of that resolution it would, at all events,
hays elicited this great good—that the house had at last ob-
, tsined something definite from her Majesty's government.
The noble lord bad carefully avoided any expression of opi-
nion as to the future, while he had brilliantly illuminated
all the events of the put. This, however, was perfectly
I clear, that in the speech delivered that evening belied made
statements perfectly inconsistent with all the intimations
extracted from him on previous days. He now stood fur-
-1 ward as a war minister, declaring he would

I with the negotiations he had been carrying on.
Many complaints had been made by the supporters of the
government as to the frame of the resolution now before the
house. It had been said that its terms were vague, and
that it bound those who proposed it to no particular course.
The house would, upon reflection, feel that it would have
been most improper if be bad attempted to interfere in the
motion with the prerogative of the crown as to the manner
in which the war was to be carried on, or peace was to be
negotiated for. If be had declared what were the objects
upon which the war was to have been carried on, he would
like to know how the noble lord the member for the City
of London, who had still some respect for the constitution—
(laughter)—would have erceised such a motion? (Hear,
bear.). He contended that the terms of the motion which
he hail proposed were adapted to the end which he, and
those with whom be acted, had in view. (Hear.) The
resolution was one which every member who wished to
Put an end to the feeling of distrust prevalent in this king-
dom ought to support. (Hear, hear.) If the noble
lard at the head of the government considered
this motion as equivalent to a vote of want of
confidence why did he not instruct one of his friends to pro-
pose a vote of confidence to the house ? (Cheers.) As it
was, in how absurd a position bad the First Lord of the
Treasury placed, not only the house, but the ministry also.
Which one of the amendments did her Majesty's government
support—(cheers)—for not one of town could be considered
as amounting to a vote of confidence. (Hear.) Why, woo
not some such thing as a vote of confidence proposed at
the meeting ? But how was such assembly formed ? Fore-
most amongst its members were the right hon. members
below the gangway. But did those right hon. members
know that at the very time when they, were
BO paraded before the resembled supporters of the
' noble lord, their parliamentary days were num-
bered—(laughter)—and they were reckoned as dead
men in the books of the humbler yet more useful
members of the government. (Laughter.) The noble :ord
(Palmerston) had pointed out to the bombe the dangers of
allowing a ministry to be formed in which two of its mem-
bers would entertain different views upon the subject of
education. The noble lord might well make that remark, I
for his was a strong government, and its supporters were
well united. (Laughter.) Upon the question of church rases
bow unanimous were they. With whet similarity of opinion
they regarded the question of the ballot. (Loud laughter.)
Ooly one thing was necessary to test their unanimity,
which was that the noble lord the member for London,
when he had recovered from his diplomatic labours—
(laughter)—should introduce a reform bill, or some trifle of
that kind. (Laughter and " divide.") He would willingly
et once go to a division, but there was one other point upon
which, in justice to himself, he must say a few words. The
member for Kiddermister,bad noticed his remarks upon the
noble lord who bad acted as plenipotentiary at Vienne, mid
had said that the criticism was only made because the noble
lord was a member of that house. He admitted
that he would rather criticise the conduct of
a gentleman who was present, than of one
who was tient, but could the hon. mei:lusher deny
that it wu not only tbe right, but the duty of a member 4.1
that house to consider the conduct of say and every Fervent
of the crown whom he considered to have failed in his duty ?
The noble lord himself had said that in his observe' ions upon
this head he (Mr. Disraeli) had degraded the debate. lie
had degraded the debate upon a question of peace or war, by
speaking his opioioa of the kcompetency of the plenipoten-
tiary who was sent to negotiate for peace! Whether he had
done so or not he would not then pause to consider, but leave
it to the house and to the country to decide. Whatever he
had done, he had at least done this—whether he had de-
, graded the debate or not—he had endeavoured to prevent
the noble lord from uegreding his country. (Loud cheers.)
The house then divided on Mr. Disraeli's motion.

Mr. LOWE then moved, in Sir Fractal' Baring's amend-
ment, after the words "regret that," to insert the words
" owing to the refusal of Ramis to restrict the strength of
her navy in the Black Sea;" and after "declare, that," to
insert the words "the means of miming to agreement on the
third basis of negotiation being by that refussl exhausted."
Mr. MILNER GIBSON moved that the debate be
adjourned until Monday week.
rd GODERICH deprecated any postponement.
Lord PALMERbTON thought that parliament had now
had an opportunity of expressing its opinion, and he might
now say that he should have no objection to accede to the
amendment of the boa. member for Kiderminster.
Sir J. GRAHAM thought that the decision they had
come to did not decide the question of the war, but referred
only to the confidence of the house in the administration ;
and he thought that to change the administration now was
not advisable; sod therefore he had voted against the mo-
tion. Ile thought now that they ought to have an oppor-
tunity of stating to the British people their opinion on the
war, and their reasons for it. That opportunity had not
been afforded tnem, and therefore he thought that it was
reasonable to adjourn. (Cries of "divide.") He might state
that the opinion of the noble lord (the member for London)
would lead to an interminable, or at least • 30 years' war.
He was bound to say that the speech of the right hon.
member for Bucks did lay down principles that seemed to
him to afford a fairer prospect of a settlement than that of
the government. (Loud cheers.) It would be superfluous
now to enter on the question of why the Crimea was at-
tacked; but he was prepared to discuss at the proper time
what had been done ; but as to the future, the principle of
the right hon. member for Bucks gave a hope of peace.
Lord J. RUSSELL most utterly and entirely deny the
meaning that had been extracted from his words, or from
those of his right bon. friend. He had said siothiug of
nationalities—(cheers)—and neither with regard to aggrea
sion nor to nationalities had he expressed any opinion. As to
what the right hon. gentleman had said, you could not
carry on negotiations and war at the same time, and he said
that negotiations should be broken off. How that would
lead to peace he could not see. Several of the amendments
agreed in this, that the house would give every support to
her Majesty, and as this question had been raised, be
thought they should now agree to some declaration which
should contain those words. (Cheers.) The hon. member
fur Manchester oeclined at this late hour to go on with his
amendment, and he should say, if the house would agree to
words which contained the last declaration, the motion of
the hon. member could be brought forward on an early day.
Mr. DISRAELI congratulated the supporters of the
noble lord on the majority, and that having been obtained,
the noble lord had risen to recant his opinions. (Cheers.)
They yesterday bad a picture of the power and policy of
Russia, which almost equalled the pencil of a Dante, and no
sooner was a majority obtained—a majority which had ex-
pressed no confidence in the government—(a laugh)—than
the noble lord rose and withdrew that powerful description
which had influenced the debate, and now he was told that
this was the government that ssu not ambiguous. (Cheers.)
Now the noble lord wanted to pass without discussion a una-
nimous vote of this house as to carrying on the war, holding
the opinion one night that it is not expedient—(cheers)—
then next night these profound statesmen found there ought
to be a unanimous Tom. (Cheers.) He was against any
farther disronnon at the present moment. He knew when
he pririosed his motion that there was not proper time to
I Wimps it. (Divide. divide.)
Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT thought it was just and
fright that on such a question they should exerms au opinion.
Bet now they had come to a deeision as between two parties
Is the house, and now they had to consider the question as
it affeckd the interests of England, as the most momentous
gensequences might result from it. He was prepared at
amee, and without discussion, to come to come to a decision.
Is point of fact, the (maims was whether they should enter
or not upon a new war; and he would appeal to the go-
vernment and the house whether that was a question to
deride at aqu before three is the morning ? (Cheers.)
