BRITISH PROPERTY IN THE CONFEDERATE
STATES.
Mr. GREGORY asked the Under Secretary of State for
Amiga Affairs whether any, and what, steps were befog
tame to protect the property of British subjects purchased
end paid for in the Southern States of North America
before the irocomeomenest of the war, where proof had
bees afforded of the boot fide mature of the traneactions?
Mr. LAYARD—I presume that the question of the hon.
patterns& relate' more particularly to cotton. The cotton
sawed to into two categories—that which has been
seised and destroyed by the authorities of the 80-celled
Confederate States, and that which has been taken by the
rederels. Am regards the former, her Majesty's government
/save been advised that foreigners owning property in a
essetry in a state of war most be held liable to all the
assidents of warfare • and that if their property bss been
destroyed for the boieleade purpose of premature it from
fatting into the enemy's heads, British subjects would have no
right to compensation. At the woe time British subjects
have been recommended to preserve any evidence they
may have that the cotton was theirs. With regard to that
which has been seized by the Federal., full and authentic
reports have not yet bees received ; but It appears
that • large quantity has been removed to the North,
as it is natal, from an apprehension lest it should
fall into the hands of the enemy. Our charge-
'Pagans* at Washington has been instructed to express
to the government of the United States a confident hope
that every facility will be Pam to British subjects to prove
their claims to the property which has bees so removed.

Mr. D. DAMER asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, whether he was aware that, at • short
distence below Hampton Court Palace, there was last sum-
mer hardly four feet of worm in the river Thames, and that
when the waterworks near Kingston were pumping the
river owned to flow over the weir at Teddington during the
period of such pumping ?
Sir G. GREY had so information on the subject, end
thought that the question must have been addressed to
him by mistake. The hon. putlernaa had better make
*airy of some member of the Ooeeervancy Board.
GREENWICH HOSPITAL

Mr. CHILDERS said that a eommittee had Mee ap-
