regret that he felt himself bound to support the address
prepared by his right hon. friend. He believed that address
expressed accurately the opinion of England; and of this
ho was quite certain, that the pitiful and helpless pages
through which he had waded did not reflect the spirit and
aspirations of the English people. They should remove
those from authority who tad made conditions which they
had not fulfilled. Th, y should be removed, in order to
prevent humiliation, and England would rise to her pristine
name and fame and power, become once more the moral
bulwark of the oppressed against the oppressor, and resume
her wonted influence in the councils cf Europe. (Conser-
vative cheers )
Mr OSBORNE moved the adjournment of the debate.

Mr ONSLO W, in seconding the motion, said he thought
the Government had steered the barque of the State with
consummate skill. (Oh, oh, and laughter, by the Conser-
vatives,) gentlemen migut hugs, but there was a
strong party in the House and a still stronger party in the
country who were of that opinion, and had confidence in the
Government. It was his firm conviction that so long as
they were blessed with a Liberal Government --(hear, hear,
and laughter)—and so long as affairs were administered by
the Government now in office, England was secure. (Cheers
and laughter.) It was all bosh to say the prestige of Eng-
land was lessened on the Continent. (Laughter.) If
England was hated on the Continent, his long experience
told him it was because we were rich and powerful, and
because we were happy. (Cheers and counter-cheers.)
The Government, instead of a vote of censure, were worthy
of thanks for having slipped the neck of England out of
that noose which was prepared for her. (Hear, bear.) As
this was a struggle for party and power, he should support
the Governm,nt, with the full anticipation that his vote
would meet with the approbation of his constituents.
Mr HENN ESSY said that, betore the debate was ad-
journed, he wished to call the attention of the tiouse to a
circumstance which might have the effect of inducing two
members of the Government for the future to pay that
deference which was due to the chair. He found that the
noble lord at the head of the Government, on the 27th
April, 1855, addressing that House, used these words
with reference to a statement made by the Under-
Secretary of State for the Home Department : " Every
reasonable man must have been convinced that the
charges made by the honourable member (Mr Layard)
were false and c iluminous." (Opposition cheers.) The
noble lord had risen that night not only to call to order an
hon. member who had used precisely identical words, but
had actually concluded by calling into question the decision
of the speaker.

Lord PALMERSTON apprehended that on the occa-
sion to which the hon. member referred, he had applied
those terms not to the hon. member for Southwark, but to
charges made by some other person. (Oh, and hear.) In
any case he entirely submitted to any decision which Mr.
Speaker might make on that or any other point. He rose
chiefly to ask the hon member for Buckitighanishire
whether it was h s wish, and the wish of those acting with
him, that the debate should terminate to• morrow night. It
so, he would appeal to hon. members who had motions on
the paper, on the motion for gong into committee of supply
to allow that motion to be made only as a matter of tot m,
so that the debate might be proceeded with as soon as the
forms of the Runge permitted. (Rear, hear.)

Mr DISRAELI said—So far as he could collect the
wishes of the House, it was that the debate should be con-
cluder! to-morrow (Friday) night.
The anjournment of the debut: was then agreed to.
The Cranbourn-streot Bill passed through committee.
The Indemnity Bill was read a third time and passed.
