SICILY.

Lora STANLEY nished to know bow soon the ripen in
ensue:ion with the affaits of Sicily would be laid bebre the
boos,. The intervention having ceased, it was desirab:e to
rezeive the whole of the infansta nea early as possillt. lie
wished also to know whether any inettuct,ons had been givers
to the nwoal fortes to withdraw ir Sicily now t 1 at the
civil war bad been renewed ; and if so, whether each in-
structions had been acted on. _

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE (who was all but inau.
dible) was understood to say that he had hoped to have been
able t have laid the papers on the table that cloy, but had
been prevented from doing so. With regard to the or cord
ctn. silos, he bawd to state that the naval forces under Ad-
miral Sit Wm. Parker had been withdrawn—(hear, hear)—
and if any stip@ had been lett, it was only to protect British
subjects and their property, with the most positive instruc-
tions not to interfere, directly or indirettly, in the contest
between the belligerent parties. (R ar, hear.)
Lord STANLEY was glad to hear the answth of the
noble marquis.
NORTH WALES RAILWAY.—BREACH OF
PRI VI LEO E, _ _ _

Lord MONTEAOLE, in moving the order of the day for
the attendance at the bar of William Chadwick. chairman,
and John Marriner, late seer. tery of the Mirth Wake Mid-
way, stated the facts connected with this railway, which
have already, on more than ono CCC3IIIOII, been laid Wore
the public; and proceeded to IA if their lords! 'fluid
piss over the conduct of these para., with impunity, it
having been clearly proved that they had been guilty of dts-
oberl-nce to their lordships' ord• re ; in addition to which.
there entld be no doubt a fraud had been practise-I on pm-
liament and the compary. The noble lord concluded by
moving that Messrs. Chadwick and Marriner be caled to the
bee.
---- - - - •

Lord CIaMPBELL said their lordships could have nothing
to do with the conduct of these parties with reference to the
affairs of the company, but men ly as to tits it disobcda.ccc of
the orders of their lordships.
• • •

Mr. CHADWICK Wes then called to the bar, and having
been asked by the Lied Chancellor if he had anything to
state in re'ererece to his conduct, slid that he had not re-
ceived the summons, and had so konwledge of it at the tinte
it was issued, or he should have b ten quite ready to have
attended at their lurdshipe' bar.
Mr. MARRINELL, on being reeked a similar question, stated
that he Ind done everything in hi. power to conform to the
order of their lordships' hoe... Ile proceeded to say that
he bed laid those orders Were the bard of directors, and
repeated the statements which he made on a former exclaims.
Lord MONTEAGLE said neither of the paths hid of-
fered any defence of their conduct in not producing the &i-
-cemen., which they had been ordered by their .ordshipe'
house to produce, and that lifts the offence of which he eon-
cipally complained. Thenoble lord then moved that Wm.
Chadwick and John Dia:jeer had been guilty of contempt
of their lordships' house, and that they be given into the
custody of the gentleman usher of the black rod.
The motion having been put by the LORD CHANCELLOR,
and weed to, Mr. Chadwick end Mr. Maniac, were
removed in custody.
RESTORATION OF THE POPE.
Lord BEAUMONT wished to know whether her Majesty's
government had taken any part in instigating, or concerting
with, the French government with reference to the expedie
don shout to he sent out from Fiance with a view t' the
restoration of the Pope to his temporal power ? Ile was eel/-
prised that a elemncredie government such as France should
endeavour to destroy a similar institution in Italy. Her
Mejesty's government had ab .ndoned the Shillala, unani-
mous as they were, to a moot unchristian monarch, who had
sanctioned aernee of butchery unparalleled in history, and he
should not therefore be maenad at their assisting France in
the project which he had alluded to. It would depend on
the answer of the noble marquis whether he should not
bring the whole conduct of her Majesty's government with
roved to I'alian and S ci ism affairs before the bouts as a
substantive motion.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNS had no tes:thion in
telling his noble friend that the circumstance to which he
had referred of the intended expeditien by France to Italy
was correct. That expeddicn, however, had no: been in-
itiated or suggested by her Majesty's government, and had
net been the subject of any agreement or neg tiation. At
the same time, i; was right to say that intimation of the in-
tention of France had been received; sad he was not pre-
pared to say that the objects of the expedition—es far as he
was acquainted with them—were of such a nature that the
government of this country would e 'approve of them. The
other subject to which his sob's friend had alluded had no
connexion with the one he bad just digitised of, but he hoptd
his noble friend would not consider hint sa accedes, ing in the
statements which he had made with reepeet to Si:ily, namely,
that her Majesty's government had abandoned any engage-
ments which they had entered into.
Their lordships adjourned at a quarter-past &xi o'clock.
