SIGNOR MANZONI AND LORD BROUGHAM.
Lord BROUGHAM said a moat ridiculous letter Cad been
Weeded in a morning newspaper, purporting to be a chal-
lenge from Signor Hansom to fight a duel, not only with
him'elf (Lord Brougham) bat with all their lordships. lie
merely ass to say, that he had received a letter from
Signor Manson! early that morning, stating his astonish-
ment at seeing so absurd a fabrication. ( Hear," and a
laugh.) Of cause if it bad been true, it would have been a
gross breach of privilege ; but it was the pure invention of
some mischievous pawn.
EXCURSIONS TO PARIS.
Lord BROUGHAM was a little alarmed at seeing that
two several expeditions were going over to Pat it during the
Whitson recess. At this moment it wet a serious matter :
two or three hundred Englishmen in a body in Patio,
during a period of excitement such as the next month
would be sure to be, was a matter mush to be
lamented. Fur the peace of both countries it was
desirable that there should be no intercourse between them
by deputations, but that the only recognised intercourse
should be through the two governments. (Hear, hear.) For
this reason, he hoped no official countenance would be given
to the party about to visit France.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE entirely differed from
the noble and learned lord us to the right to interfere with
providedf her Majesty's subjects visiting any place whatever
they conducted themselves peaceably, as they did
on a late occasion. (Hear, hear.) Whether they went
singly or in a body their lordships had nothing to do with it,
and the way in which the French government might receive
them was a matter in which their lordships had no right
whenever to interfere. (Hear, bear.)
Lad BROUGHAM said that if he found the Lord Cham-
Weida so utterly, grossly, and entirely ignorant of what had
puled just hours him it was no weeder that those further
away should make mistakes. He did not utter a word
of objection, in any way, to the right of all her Majesty's
subjects to go over to Frence,ao that they conducted them-
selves peaceably and decorously. And if the French
government, who had recently remitted a large amount of
their taxation, were so rich that they could give a dinner
and supper, and music: and dancing, to every one of the
Queen's subjects—(laughter)—who might go over, he
should be well pleased. The more they were feted and
treated, and made much of on the other side of the water,
the bitter he should be pleased. (Lsughter ) He denied
every word which had been imputed to him, owing of course
to the misconstruction of the house. (Much laughter.)
The Marquis of BREADALBANE was glad to hear from
the noble and learned lord seek an explanation, as—
Lord BROUGHAM (starting up, with great energy).—
Explanation! I most peremptorily, utterly, and entirely
deny every single syllable of the statement made by the
Lord eltamain. (Lausthter.) I give a most positive
denial to all that he has said. (Renewed laughter.)
The Earl of MOUNTCASHELL role to crder.
Lord REDESDALE thought the practice of large bodies
going from this country to Paris, or coming from there here,
was objectionable. A deputation from the mobile guard of
Paris, amounting to five or six hundred men, cams to this
country last summer ; and be did think there were time,
when a body of French soldiers coming over in uniform ai a
deputation (which they were pleased to call themselves)
might lead to considerable contusion. If, fur instance, they
had coats in March last year, when there was great appre-
hension of a disturbance,their appearances might have led to
some evil cowsquenesa. He thought these visits in large
bodies ought to be discouraged ea m as possible.
TUE COLONIES.

East GREY laid ontabb adeepatch received from
Lead ilea, to which the noble lord (Wharncliffe) on the
seembenshas bad alluded the day before. Also a paper with
rehouses te weirdo proposed Waage' in New SoutkWatts.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved that the house, at
its rising, do adjourn until Monday, the 4th hue.
NAVIGATION BILL
The report on this bill was brought up, and the third rad-
ium fired for Tuesday sen'aight.
Lord COLCHESTER handed in a protest against the bill.
The Bishop of OXFORD said he should move the amend,
must of which be bad given notice on the third readies of
die bill.
CONSULAR EXPENDITURE ACT AMENDMENT
BILL.
At the suggestion of the Marquis of Laxenovuro,
Lord NELSON postponed the second reading of this bill
until Thursday se'nnight.
PROTECTION OF WOMEN BILL
The Bishop of OXFORD. in moving the second reading
of this bill, said he need not enter at any length into the
subject whisk rendered this enactment awasan. le% prepared with the most minute details to prove W
eels which existed; but he thought it better to avoid gobs I
Wilma, if possible, in a public debate. (Hew, !earl If
he take it for grunted that a great assis of wank,
he would not carry their lordships through the pain
fel Matemelits which he was otherwise prepared to make.
Ho bid geseived a letter from the Lord Chief Justice, saying
that be should not oppose the second reading of the bill.
This was very satisfactory, because he !AA opposed It last
year. He had mentioned one alteration which he suggested
should be made,oa which condition he (the Bishop of Oxford)
thought the Lord Chief Justice would not oppose the bill
at all ; and he would not object to the alteration which
he had proposed. The existing law was wholly in-
sufficient to prevent the evil which it was now
sought to legislate upon ; and it was absolutely
necessary to enact some further measure against
it. (Hear, hear.) If there were vane few faint murmur-
ings remaining against any legislation on the subject, he
hoped that their lordships would pay no attention to them ;
