IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS:

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woo;
sack at Fire o'clock.

THE CAPE.
The Earl of MALMESSURY inquired of the Noble
Lord at the head of the Colonial Department whether
he could take any means in this country to prevent gun-
powder being exported to the Cape fur the purpose of
being sold to our enemies in that colony.
Earl GREY said he was aware that before the war
broke out very great quantities of gunpowder had been
exported to that colony, but he also knew that there
was no law existing here to prevent it being so ex-
ported. Hearing in September last that the exportation
continued, he sent a dispatch to the Governor, re-
questing him to take measures to prevent the powder
being so used, as it would fall into the hands of the
enemy. Steps had been taken to effect that purpose,
which would to a great extent atop the supply of
gunpowder to the enemy, but he regretted to
say that these precautions were adopted too late, as
many tons of gunpowder had got to the enemy some
months previously. It was impossible altogether to pre-
vent powder being imported into the colony, as it was
very much consumed by farmers and others who required
it to shoot wild beasts with. The Kafirs frequently ob-
tained it from them by means of coercion and otherwise.
In reply to another question from the NOBLE EARL,
Earl GREY was understood ;to say that be had not
been informed that any arms or weapons had been ex-
ported from England to the Capej and got into the pos-
session of the enemy.
RECALL OF SIR HARRY SMITH.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY referred to the
statement made by the Duke of Wellington in regard
to Sir Harry Smitb, and said he entirely concurred in
the high eulogium which the Noble Duke had made
upon him; he had obeyed his instructions to the very
letter, and had evinced those distinguished military quali-
ties which had made his name renowned. He, therefore,
doubted the policy and justice of his dismissal from the
Governor-Generalship at the Cape. He would ask the
Noble Lord (Earl Grey) whether the appointment of
General Cathcart was that of the Horse, Gt.w.ds or of
the Colonial Office?

Earl GREY deprecated any irregular discussion on so
painful a subject. If the Noble Lord questioned the
course adopted by the Government, he should bring for-
ward a motion, and take the sense of their Lordships
upon it; and if he did so, he (Earl Grey) would be pre-
pared to defend his conduct. It appeared to him that
on the face of the dispatches now before the House,
Sir Harry Smith ought to he relieved from his office, and
his colleagues in the Government entertaiued the
same opinion. He therefore thought it his necessary
but painful duty to advise her Majesty to recall him.
As regarded his successor he could assure their Lord-
ships that he did not advise the appointment of a succes-
sor without consulting the highest military authority in
the country. He consulted the Noble Duke (the Duke
of Wellington)—who said that it Sir H. Smith were
recalled he did not think any officer could be selected
who was more fit for such a high military employment
than Major-General Cathcart. That, he hoped, was a
satisfactory answer. He had the highest respect
and admiration for the character of Sir H.
Smith, and never, in the conduct of
public affairs, had he so painful a duty
cast upon him as that of advising her Majesty to recall
him, but he believed in his conscience that the step was
necessary to be taken, and he did not shrink from re-
commending it.—(Hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM moved for a series of returns re-
specting Scotch appeals in the [louse of Lords.
After a brief conversation their Lordships adjourned

HOUSE Of' CoMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
PETITIONS.
Mr. AGLIONBY presented it petition from a place
in Lincolnshire, praying for the compulsory cnfran-
chiNement of c. Ty holds.
Mr. M. GIBSON presented a petition from a public
meeting at Manchester, praying for a reform of the pa-
tent laws; also a petition from Suffolk, in favour of an
ocean penny postage; and a petition from London,
praying for the repeal of the paper and newspaper stamp
duties.

Sir W. MOLESWORTH presented a petition from
S)dney, Australia, signs-d by the Bishop of Syd-
n,y and the Roman Catholic Archbishop, praying that
the House will take immediate steps to discontinue
transportation to,Van Diemen's Land. The Honourable
Baronet gave notice that he would found a motion upon
the petition.

THE ADDRESS.
Lord M. HILL brought up her Majesty's answer to
the Address, which was as follows :—'• I have received
with much satisfaction your loyal and dutiful address,
and you may rely on my earnest desire to co-operate
with you in any measures you may deem necessary to
promote the welfare and happiness of my people."
The answer was ordered to be enterLd on the journals
of the House.
