POLAND.
Earl RUSSELL said, as he had just learned by tele-
graph that the reply of the Russian Government to the de-
spatch of the three Powers would not be sent off until the
14th or 15th, and, consequently, could not reach her
Majesty's Government until it was too late for
for him to make a statement, he would on Monday next, in
answer to his friend Earl Grey, enter into an explanation
of the state of the negotiations with respect to Poland. In
the meantime he begged to lay upon the table a copy of the
despatch containing the six points.
OUR RELATIONS WITH JAPAN.

The Earl of CARNARVON moved for copies of any
instructions given by her Majesty's Government to her
Majesty's diplomatic servants in Japan or to the officers in
command of her Majesty's land or naval forces, to make
demands upon the Government of Japan, with the alter-
native of immediate hostilities on the rejection of such
demands. The noble earl referred at some length to the
events that had brought about the present unfortunate state
of affairs, and said he considered the breaking out of hos-
tilities in that distant part of the world a circumstance of the
gravest importance, and he should b' glad to hear an ex-
planation from the noble earl opposite of certain matters
which i t appeared were about to involve us in war with Japan.
He did fr,t think the differences as they had come to his know-
ledge were sufficient to justify such a step, and he advised
the Government before they committed the country to a
long and costly war to reconsider the determination
they had arrived at. Before they decided for war
he hoped they would not overlook the immense
difficulty and expense of sending out troops ; and if it sh .uld
be decided to carry on hostilities by a combined expedition
he must say he for one greatly diapproved of such a pro-
ceeding, because combined expeditions only engendered
jealousy, distrust, and irritation.

BRAZIL.

Sir G. GREY intimated, in reply to Mr. S. FITZGERALD,
that supply would be on the paper next week, and that the
hon. member would then have an opportunity of bringing
on his motion with respect to Brazil.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY protested against supply being
taken at the day sittings, when hon. members on com-
mittees, or otherwise engaged, could not attend.
BURNING OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE, CORK.
Mr. HENNESSY asked for some information with re-
spect to this event.
Sir R. PEEL considered that no advantage would be
gained by re-opening the matter. The house had already
voted £3,000 for the building, and £1,500 for the fittings.
Col. r BENCH said, but for the vote of the Government,
the city of Cork would have had to bear the whole expense
of erecting the new building and fitting it.
Lord FERMOY said the Government deserved great
praise for the prompt and liberal conduct in the matter.
The Government were in possession of documents testify-
ing that the accusations made against those entertaining
ultramontane doctrines, that they set fire to the college,
were utterly and entirely false. The Government ought to
let the truth be known. If not the matter could not be al
towed to rest.
