tled the Income Tax Enfranchisement Bill.
THE VIENNA. NEGOTIATIONS.
In reply to Mr. T. DUNCOIIBE,
Lord PALMERSTON said it was true, as reported
in to•day's papers, that the Vienna 'negotiations would
be closed this day. The result could not be known that
evening ; but his expectation was that intelligence would
be received that evening or to-morrow to that effect.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BRIGHT wished to know when the papers
would be produced to show the effect of any further
negotiations, so that the country might know with what
prospect they were entering upon a protracted war.
Lord PALMER TON said he could not now reply
to the question, but would do so to-morrow. '
SWIPED LETTER PAPER.
In reply to Mr. MAGUIRE,
Mr. WILSON said that a stamped paper f,r tran-

mission through the poq would very;oon he in operation,
THE SPEA.K.ER'S ILLNESS.

Lord PALMERSTON said he was concerned to say
that this morning he saw the professional gentleman nt-
tentiin,s the Speaker, who advised the right hon. gentle-
man to have a few days' rest, and he should move that
in the event of Mr. Speaker's absence f)r mare than one
day, the suspendsion of the standing order that the Speaker
should write a letter every day to that effect, and that
Mr. Fitzroy should take the chair on every subsequent
day during the Speaker's absence.
After a few remarks from Lord R. Cecil, Sir F. The-
siger, Sir W. Heathcote, and Mr. Disraeli,
Lord PALMERSTON said he should restrict the
motion to be in force during the present week only.
The motion was then agreed to.
NEUTRAL VESSELS.
In reply to Mr. J. G. Pastustouz,
Sir C. WOOD said it was stated that the 'Russian
Government had issued a notice that Captain Watson
of the Imperieuse had published a notification that goods
contraband of war found in, neutral vessels would be
seized by the Allied fleets. He had seen Captain
Watson, and the civil governor had visited every
vessel in Port Baltic Harbour, and found only two ves-
sels with goods of the sort alluded to, and as they were
not considered to come within the terms of the order in
council, Captain Watson allowed those vessels to leave
the harbour.
EDUCATION BILL.
On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the above bill
was postponed till Monday next.
CONDUCT OF THE WAR.
—ADJOURNED.
On the order of the day on this subject being road,
Mr. MILNER GIBSON rose for the purpose of
resuming the debate. He observed that, from a
question which had just been fput by the honour-
able member for Finsbury, an inference had been
sought to be raised that it was inconvenient to discuss
the amendment of the hon. member for Kidderminster,
seeing that the Vienna Conference was closed. For
one, he (Mr. Gibson) was not responsible for the amend-
ment ;
of the hon. gentleman and, if he pressed it upon
the house, he thought, for various reasons, the house
ought not to agree to it. After the lengthened discussion
that took placeon the motion of the right hon. member for
Bucks, and the amendment of the right hon. member for
Portsmouth, it was not, sincerely speaking, without some
regret that in consequence of the alterationrt sed t

He
which the hon. gentlemen proposed
thought
t
involved considerations of great magnitude, and hu
it. moreover, most undesirable that the house should
asked precipitately either to adopt or reject. The be
pre-
vious debate was a party debate. The right bon. naem
her for Bucks had asked the house to pass a vote of -cen-
sure virtually on the Government, in consequence of its
mbiguous language and uncertain conduct on the
great question of peace or war. The member for
Portsmouth undertook the defence of Ministers
and moved what he must say, considering the occasion,
L,„ wan a very feeble amendment. (Hear, hear.) But he
