THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.
Lord BROUGHAM wished to address a few words to
their lordships oa the subject of the horrible civil war
which was now raging in America. His private information,
derived from perms most friendly to England and America,
which they received from venous ea the spot and mixed up
in this sad affair, surpassed eery coasidesably the horrible
and loathsome amounts which had been pahlisbed. Not only
were thousands upon Mama& embattled on me side and
the other displaying a degree of courage which was shove an
commengatacia, but the war had taken net in society in
every rank elide, mid was carried on with all the horrors
of • civil maid. The inhabitants of the some village were
headed aS each other, and neat door neighbours wept
le forth not in army, but mwe should say in
breach el peace, to gratify their political animosity. He
knew the came of one respectable family in which the son
and father took opposite sides, and the son said that be
hoped to hear of his father's death. He threw no impute-
Lion on the character of the American people, for it was
incident to and inseparable from civil war that them horri-
ble crimes should occur. It was proverbial that the wrap-
tine of the best was the wont of all. Now it was clear that
neither England nor France ought to interpose. (Hear.)
But all must feel equally anxious that this meld should
cease. They who were most (liquidly to America were the
most anxious that the should take place, and he had ever
been most friendly to her. For upwards of sixty
years he had hem the warm advocate at all times
of the American government and people, and
there were those in the house who could re-
member that he bad been called a partisan of Jeffersoa and
the attorney.general of Madison. He was, therefore, most
cruelly disappointed and grievously touched at what was now
taking place that *many. If the wet was to go oa it
would prolate a Mate of things wane than American
slavery. The whites would suffer more by the war than
ever the pogrom suffered under the most cruel of masters.
The war was creating more mischief and misery, and would
lay the foundation of more lasting animosity and injan
than all that had been said against what was called then
" domestic institution." If they would only listen to the
voice of their true friends, they would see the absolute
necessity, if they regarded the continuance of their
reputation among us, and of our affection to-
wards them, of putting an end to this civil
war. He could not bat believe that the good sense
of the good and reflecting summit them would
sooner or later have scope, and that they would succeed is
putting an end to this calamitous war, which was what the
truest and staunchest friends of America moat ardently de-
sired.

GAME LAWS AMENDMENT BILL
- - - -

Lord BERNISI3 moved the eec;cidrerdi;g7;fthis bill,
and recapitulated the arguments which he had adduced on
its introductioe.

Earl GRANVILLE was of opinion that none of their
lordabips could look at the provisious of the bell without
coming to the conclusion both that it would be very unwise
to give it a second reading, and that even if it passed their
lordships house it would be very unlikely to meet with the
concurrence of the HOllll4l of Commons. The noble earl
specified several claims, but the purport of his criticism
did not reach the gallery. Be thought it would not be for
the honour of their lordship.' house to pare the measure •
and that it would be cinch more expedient to refer the
subject to a select committee than to embark in any hasty
legislation upon it.
Lard LIMNERS said that if it would not be for the
credit of the home to pass this bill, what were they to
think of the act which they passed last year, and from
which several of the clauses now objected to by the noble
earl had been taken verbatim'
The Earl of DERBY observed that if the motion were for
the third reading he should agree with the noble earl oppo-
site. There were, no doubt, many verbal amendments that
would require to be made in the bill, and it contained pro-
visions to which be (Lord Derby) could by no means moot.
(Hear.) Bit the noble earl had not treated his noble friend
quite fairly ; for his noble friend bad expressed his perfect
willingness to modify the proposed enactment to which the
noble earl objected ; sod they therefore practically formed
no put of the measure of which his noble friend asked the
approval of the hones. (Hear, hear.) He (Lord Derby)
agreed that the possession of dogs of a particular breed was
not necessarily a matter of suspicion, for a man might
keep each 'dogs innocently enough. The real object of the
bill was to suppress those gangs of armed persons who
went out at night. committed breaches of the peace end
made murderous attacks on their lordship.' keepers. He
was willingto omit the clause relating to the possession of
sting and feathers, but he was by no means certain
that it would be prudent to abandon that re-
lating to eggs—the rather as game mineral themselves
would sometimes encourage poachers to steal pip for them.
All that his noble friend asked was that they should sub-
stantially agree to his first clause, the first portion of his
second, and his proposed enactment that dealers in game
should keep a register of the persons of whom they pur-
chased it. He (Lord Derby) should greatly regret if the
house took so straw a step as to reject ea the second read-
ing s bill the object of which was to put an end to an evil of
so wirings& chateau as that which now prevailed. (Hear.)
Lord Lrrionn and Lord Orgy made • few remarks, the
totter observing that he saw no reason why the bill should
not he read a second time to proclaim that in the opinion of
the house the law OD the subject required amendment, and
afterwards the bill might be sent to a select committee.

Lord MALMESBUgY supported the second reading.
The LORD CHANCELLOR suggested that the bill
shoold be withdrawn, and minced within the limits which
noble lords on both sides bad recommended, after which it
might be brought in again tomorrow.
After a abort conversation between Lord DERBY and Lord
GRANVILLE upon this proposal,
Lord BERNERS adopted the suggestion, and withdrew
his motion.

The' andhurst Vesting Bill and the Porredown Fair Dis-
continuance Bill were read a second time.

The Red Sea and India Telegraph Company (Amend.
