IN INDIA.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that he
would ihi. day move that their lordships vote of thanks be

had appeared in the public papers respecting the students in
Trutt y College, Dublin. (Him, hear.)
Lmd NAAS said be regretted to Mats that on Friday last
a very serious coUision did take pla.w between the Dublin
pollee and a nembor of the students cite Trinity College, who
had assembled within the railings in front of the ler.
Many of them, he was afraid, had been seriously wounded on
the occasion, sad some of the police also Lad been hurt. As
soon tie the matter was brought wider his notice
on Friday evening, he immediately directed the
oommiestoners of police to make • .report to the
government on the subject. That repo,l had only
reached his heads at rive o'clock last sigh,' in Dublin.
It was now in the hands of the Lord. Lieutenant.
Some of the authorities of the college had waited upon him
and informed him that it was their intention to .draw up a
statement of what they considered to be the facts ethe ease,
accompenied by some depositions which they were ',ming to
have taken, sad to lay that statement before the goveiruseat.
That statement he expected would be reoeived this eventing er
to morrow morning. In the after part of the day the. col-
lege authorities, by writing, expressed a wish that an oppor-
tunity should be given t, some of the students who had been
hurt, and who had witnessed the affray, to identify some of
the police who were most violent. He had therefore given
orders that the police should be waded for that purpose.
On Saturday evening the horse police were paraded, and
some were identified by the students and others. Yesterday
afternoon a large body of the foot police were paraded for the
Name purpose, and several of them also were identified by the
students. Under these circumstances it was impossible for him
now to state what course the government intended to take.
He could only say that the matter would receive their careful
and anxious consideration ;
_and, as soon se all the facts were
stated by the authorities of the college on one side, and by
the police on the other, they would be prepared to sot to the
bit of their judgment. (Hear, hem.)

gifts to the nation, with a view to their being placed in the

government to their acceptance P
Lord J. MANNERS could only asy that ahonld any pub-
He-spirited Individual make an offer of the kind, the govern•
went would be most happy to accept any approved speci-
mens, and would consider as to the best locality for placing
them. Of course the hon. gentleman understood that •
discretion must be exercised.

THE ..6AOLIARI."-THE LEADER OF THE
HOUSE CALLED TO ORDER.
_ . _ _

The Clerkii;virgrertiZ;;;der of the day for the third
reading of the Rest India Loan Bill, and the question having
been put,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and
rid—With the permission of the house I will take this op-
portunity of stating the course which the government pro-
pose to take with regard to a subject that was under discus-
sion on Friday night, and with respect to which there is
conoiderable misconception. I allude to the case of the
Cagliari. When we accepted Milos nor most anxious atten-
tion was given, and naturally given, to that subject—the
circumstances Wog of a character—
The SPEAKER—It is not comtent for the right hon.
gentleman to introduce these remarks on the motion for the
third reading of a bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I have re-
quested the permisrion of the house to do so; and my reason
for doing it was because I found that I should otherwise be
precluded from answering the remarks which fell from some
hon. gentlemen opposite on Friday. (" Hear," and "Go en.")
The SPEAKER—After I have put the question that this
bill be now read a third time, then I have no doubt the house
will give permission.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer sat down.
The SPEAKER put the question, and
THE EAST INDIA LOAN BILL
was read a third time and passed.

THE CAGLIARI.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
wished to remove from the public mind • mixonoeption with
reference to the case of the Cagliari. When the present ad-
ministration entered upon office they found, la their opinion,
that the jurisdiction of the King of Naples in the matter had
been absolutely admitted by their predecessors, and that they
(the present administration) were precluded from taking any
steps contravening that jurisdiction. It appeared further,
that, after their knowledge of the circumstances stated in the
debate of Friday, the jurisdiction of the King of Naples in
the matter had hem still recognised by their predeormors,
and that it was not open to the present government any
j longer to impugn that uriediction. They bad then to
consider what, under the circumstances, it was best to do
in order to assist our countrymen, and they had instructed
a of character and influence to urge their immediate
trial. Bat on Friday Lord Palmerston stated that the late
government were considering the whole question again pre-
vious to their retirement from office. He (Mr. Disraeli) felt
bound to my that a careful examination of documents offered
no clue to that statement. This entailed a painful responsi-
bility upon the present government, but they had felt it to
be their duty to submit a case to the present law advisers of
the crown, and when their opinion was obtained and duly
deliberated upon they would act in the interests of law, right,
and justice, recognising sovereign rights and vindicating
those of our fellow-subjects. It was their opinion that,
under the peculiar and exceptional circumstances of the case,
it would be their duty to lay the opinion of the law officers
of the crown before the house.

he was glad to kern that it
was the intention of her Majesty's government to lay bobs
parliament the whole of the mare to this case. It was true
that the late government did practically acknowledge the
jurisdiction of the government of Naples, their impression
having been that the capture had been made within its ter-
ritorial jurisdiction, and when evidence reached them tending
to show that the pleas of capture was beyond that jurisdic-
tion, they were advised that It was not a case of forcible
seizure that would entitle them to demand the release of the
two engineers. When he said that the question was under
the consideration of the late government, be meant that they
were expecting further documents from the Sardinian go-
vernment with raped to its claim upon Naples.
