it that they never heard of the ill success of previous propo-
sals of reform ? Having then replied to the arguments for
the amendment, he pointed out the policy shadowed forth
in the speech itself. He should be prepared, when the
papers were produced, to vindicate the foreign measures of
the government. - Alt present, he repeated that the conduct
of the opposition had exercised an injurious effect on
our negotiations, by weakening the authority of the

of the declaration he had made at the close of the last
session, that it was then probable that peace would be
preserved. The ministry had not shown during the recent
events the slightest bias, either towards Austria or France.
He avowed the opinion of the government, that Reform
could not be dealt with in the present session, with so
many urgent measures demanding. settlement ; but they
did not shrink from the responsibility of dealing with the
question in a future session. He protesteu
'ssertion that Reform should be the monopoly of any part':
He claimed for the government the right of
dealing with the question in a large and liberal spirit,
without being committed to the details of their late measure,
In conclusion, he- declared that the foreign policy of the
government would be peace, and its domestic policy
progress, and for the sake both of England and Europe,
demanded an immediate decision of the issue before the
House.

linst the

calm party

Lord Bury defended the amendment, as the natural con-
sequence of the late dissolution. When Lord Bury sat
down no one rose to speak, it being evidently " the word of
order " on the Conservative side to maintain an absolute
silence

the Speaker, after waiting for some time, proceeied to
put the question ; while he was reading the motion
Lord John Russell went from bench to bench and thcnce
to Lord Palmerston in evident perthrbation. However, by
the time the Speaker had finished, he had succeeded in
putting up Mr. Mellor, who made some observations in
favour of the amendment. _

Mr. M. Hugessen taunted the Conservatives with the
silence under the accusations brought Iminst the ministry,
whom he taunted with ingratitude towards the late Parlia-
ment after the great forbearence which that Parliament had
exercised towards them.
Sir Charles Napier entered at some length into the state
of the navy amid cries of question.
Mr. Wilson strongly complained' of the conduct of the
government in dissolving the late Parliament, which he
declared to be a sinful and unwarrantable mid. He entered
at great length into the subjects of France and of the
War.
.

Mr. thgby Seymour protested against the extraneous and
paltry matters that were dragged into a debate on which
depended so serious an issue, and on being dragged like a
sheep in the wake of a set of hereditary politicians. The
present Government had recognised the principle of ad-
elating the people to a larger share of power, and before he
voted against them he demanded of the chief of the

liberal

party how far they would go in the cause of Reform
Unless they did this he should give an unhesitating any

hearty vote in favour of the address

Mt Laing opposed the present Government, both as to
their views of reform, and of foreign policy.

Lord Palmerston declared that the conduct of the govern-
ment proved the necessity of the amendment, and that they
shewed by their conscious weakness that they were unworthy
of the confidence of the House. Their defence in the face
of the charges against them was most extraordinary. It
might have been expected that they would have pressed

forward in their own defence, instead of whit

demanded to be taken upon trust, and only bek,
there should be no inquiry into their conduct. -This was
too grave a matter to be disposed of in so light
and easy a manner, and that the conduct of the
government was disgraceful in the face of the serious
circumstances of Europe. Their mistakes in foreign, their
errors in domestic policy, their proceedings in regard to
the dissolution, justified the House in withholding

LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Yesterday,

BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.

A SCOUNDREL.—A rather well-dressed fellow, named
Luke Ward, who has a superfluity of hair about the lower
part of his face, was brought 5p by officer 86, on the follow-
ing charge. He said the prisoner Iva! a "plucker-in," or
" sweetner," in a mock-auction shop, in Whitechapel; and
on Monday, a female, named Margaret Radley, was induced
to enter the "den," and, whilst there, the parties inside
endeavoured to induce her to make some purchase, or, in
other words, to swindle her. She was, however, not to be
caught, and, after some time, she felt some one at her shawl
behind, and, on turning round, she got the prisoner cutting
her shawl with a scissors. She made a " grab " at him,
when he ran away, and after a sharp hunt, about St. John's
Market and the back "slums" thereof, was captured.
The woman here exhibited her shawl, which was hacked
in a bad way, and proved that the perpetrate

THE ADVENTURES OF EDWARD LENNON AND HIS
Goars !—Police-officer 324 brought up a comical-lookin,
old genus, named Edward Lennon, on a charge of beirq
drunk and disorderly, in the Goree Piazza, the previous
night. The old gentleman's face was very badly off for
soap, and his head seemed like a bewitched barley stack—
going to Old Nick for the want of a raking. The original
colour of his coat was a myth, and, for anything that
appeared to the contrary, it might have'been a part of the
garment worn by Nimrod in some of his steeple chasing
about Babylon ; for it appears that Mr. Nebuchadnezzar
and Captain Nimrod used to enjoy that sort
of fun, and that was the reason " Nebv" got
turned • into a bullock. The other marks and
tokens attached to Mr. Lennon were too numerous to
mention. He certainly had not eyes of an eagle, nor were
they in " fine phrenzy rolling." They were decent-looking
grey eyes, without any of that unholy blue, said to have
been possessed by the darling Cathleen of the Seven
Churches' celebrity, that Tom Moore has wedded to
immortal verse. No ; Mr. Lennon was quite content to do
with a pair of optics that suited him to see round a corner,
or into a milestone, as far as any other man within the
parliamentary or municipal boundary of Liverpool. Alto-
gether, his appearance would have made a fortune for any
stage-manager in England—all that would be required,
let Mr. Lennon walk twice across the " boards " each
evening, and, " my word," wouldn't he have crowds going
to see him every night ? The officer stated that the
previous night he was going on the noiseless tenor of
his beat (humming, probably, the new song of the " Bobby
Blue," which will appear in the course of the week, in a
new publication, called the " Policeman's Catechism,")
thinking, most likely, of Black-eyed Susan, the prett•
house-maid, when his serious—policemen are always
—attention was attracted to the Goree-piazza---very
unromantic place that —by sounds that grated harshly
on his car. Going cautiously forward, he saw the prisoner
with two goats ; one was an old goat, and one was a young
goat; and the prisoner was kicking the young goat, and

The entire quantity was 2,350 lbs., and the act impose*

reported to the police on the 18th ultimo, and the powder

to the non-arrival of a barge to take it away. The decision
in the case was allowed over to this day.

SECOND EDITION

NORTHERN TIMES OFFICE, WEDNESDAY, 9 A.M.

THE BATTLE OF MAGENTA,
TURIN, June 7th.—The following is the official
bulletin, published to-day :
" The Allies took in the battle of Magenta four
pieces,of cannon, two flags, and 4,000 bags (query.)
7,000 Austrians have been made prisoners, and
20,000 put hors de combat, out of 120,000 Austrians
engaged.
" The loss on the side of the French, was about
500 killed, and among the former are Generals
Espinasse and Clere.
" Milan has been bat

cled and defended by

King of

Sardinia is

A Como and Sondrio."

BERNE, June 7th, via France.—There are still
500 Austrians at Laveno. A detachment of General
Garabaldi's corps has sailed along the shores of the
Lago Maggiore in several barks, disarmed the
Austrian custom guards, and everywhere carried off
the public treasure.

TURIN, June 7th.—The first private letter from the
battle field of Magenta has arrived here. The
Imperial and Sardinian Guards were engaged against
the Austrian masses. The Guards were attacked,
and were unable to advance, but nevertheless finally
resisted the enemy. The Zouaves and the Guards
lost and re-took their position six times. At last
General Neil's army made an offensive movement,
which was irresistible. The enemy endeavoured to
surprise the right wing of our army, but a movement
of General M'Mahon rendered the attempt inef-
fectual—so the efforts of the enem,
for a moment, and the conflict then b
with renewed fury. General M•Mahon was tri-
umphant, and the battle is won. It is asserted that
the King entered Milan to-day, and to-morrow the
victory will be celebrated at Turin

The Times publishes a- summary of official news
received at Vienna up to midnight on Monday. It
is as follows :—" There was a fierce battle at Turbigo
and Buffalora on the 4th. At first only two brigades
of the first corps were engaged, but they were sub-
sequently, reinforced. In the afternoon of the same
day the third Austrian corps took part in the action.
There was very hard fighting at Buffalora—some-
times to the advantage of the French, sometimes to
. •

that of the Austrians. The battle last till late at
night, and on the sth the battle was continued at
Magenta. The allies made no progress. On this
day two fresh Austrian corps were engaged. The

flicts hotly disputed, with alternate vicissitudes of
success and defeat, the battle being probably fed on
both sides by fresh troops, as fast as they could be

that it now seems probable this hard fight is as yet
undecided ; but that on the whole the Trench have
the best of it.

The absence of telegrams by way of Paris is
noticed by more than one of this (Wednesday) morn-
ing's papers. _

The Advertiser says that last night (Tuesday) it
was rumoured that Government had received a
telegram from our ambassador at Vienna, announcing
an Austrian victory. The opinion is becoming current
also that the fight' at Magenta has not in its ultimate
result justified the first exultant message of the
Emperor Napoleon. s;

of this view.

The Post publishes a despatch from its Paris
correspondent, dated ten o'clock, Tuesday night ; but
it does not state where the Emperor's head-quarters
were, and no date is given. The Post's despatch
says :—" The news from the seat of war arrived on
Tuesday. It is stated that Generals M'Mahon and
Regnault de St. Jean d'Anglely are created Marshals
of France. General M‘Mahon has received from the
Emperor the title of Due de Magenta."
The Paris Moniteur of to.i r. (Wednesday) may
possibly contain more complerrilformation.

RUSSIA AND GERMANY.

An important circular from Prince Gortschakoff,
to the Envoys of Russia at the several courts of
Germany, declares that if Germany goes to the aid
of Austria the political equilibrium resulting from
the treaties by which the German Confederation is
constituted will be destroyed.

COMMERCIAL.

The Funds continue to rise, although the best prices of
the day were not maintained. At the close an advance of
it to a per cent. is presented. In the other markets there
was no animation, but the tendency of prices was steadily
upwards. In the Discount Market the rate for two months'
bills of a high class is about 24 per cent., or 1 per cent.
below the Bank minimum. About £20,000 in gold, hall
