IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

ROUSE OF LORDS, May 21.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scut OD the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from a Mr.
Charles Campbell, praying for the establishment of in.
stitutions in India for the education of the natives.
JURISDICTION IN EQUITY BILL.

In reply to Lord LYNDBURST,
The LORD CHANCELLOR, said it was his inteae
time to move the second reeding cf this Bill on Monday,
and then to refer it to a Select Committee.
Lord TRURO bad no objection to the course proposed
by the Noble and Learned Lord.
Lord LYNDHURST said he had looked at the
printed Bill, and he found it embodied substantially the
recommendations of the Commissioners. He thought
no discussion ought to take place with regard to the
principle of the Bill on the second reading.
SARDINIA.
Earl GRANVILLE wished to know whether
the Government had any objection to state to the
House what was tho nature of the most recent
information which they had received with regard to the
Government of Sardinia. Great interest was felt in this
country in reference to Sardinia; first, in consequence
of satisfactory commercial relations with Sardinia; and,
secondly, owing to the great constitutional experiment
which was there being made. He therefore hoped the
Government would not consider him exceeding his duty
in putting the present question.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said the intelligence
which had been received of the resignation of the
Marquis D Azeglio was perfectly correct, but their Lord.
ships would be glad to learn that on the 17th ultimo
the King seat fir him again, and requested him to take
his accustomed seat at the board. His Majesty had,
moreover, given him a carte blanche to choose what Minis-
ters he liked.; Be (Earl Malmesbury) could not sit down
withourexpressing on the part of her Majesty's Govern-.
ment the great pleasure they felt on the receipt of this
news. The Marquis of Azeglio had conducted for three
years, a period of great difficulty and danger, the govern-
ment of Sardinia on constitutional principles, and
the greatest possible, prosperity had resulted to the
country. He hoped this act of the Sovereign was an
earnest that he intended to continue a constitutional
form of government.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE bore tribute to the
able administration of the Marquis of Azeglio.
INVENTIONS OF CAPTAIN WARNER.
The Duk2 of WELLINGTON—My Lords, I have to
apologise to your Lordships, and to my Noble Friend
opposite (Earl Talbot), for happening to be absent from
the HOLM 911 the 14th lust., the day on which he brought
forwarcaiiiriotionlfor referring to a Committee ()flour
Lordships' House the inventions of Mr. Warner. My
Lords, it was by accident that I was absent. There
being no house on the Thursday, I was not aware of the
notice of my Noble Friend being on the books until after
he had made his motion; and I could not attend the
House on that day.—(Hear, hear.) My Lords, it I had
been in the Settee I should have represented to your
Lordships that the subject on which it was desired a
Committee of your Lordships' should sit had already
been under the consideration of the Crown, in the office
of the Master-General of the Ordnance—in consequence
I believe, of au address in the Illonee of Commons; but,
at all events, I am certain that the inquiry took place
at the particular desire of, the three principal Minis-
ters of her Majesty—Lord Melbourne; to my cer-
tain knowledge, Sir Robert Peel; and Lord John
Russell. The subject, then, my Lords, has undergone
inquiry and discussion in the office of the Master-Gene-
ral of the Ordnance; that inquiry has been of a very scien-
tific character—(Hear, hear)—and, under these circum-
stance, Ido not think inquiry should take place before
your Lordships, the more particularly at it is intended
to ask for the expenditure of a large sum of money. My
Lords, we have heard of money speculations.—(Hear.)
I have heard of persons advancing large SUMS to this
gentleman, in the hops that he would receive a large re-
ward from the public for this invention. Is really appears
to me, therefore, that this is not exactly a question into
which, under the circumstances, the House of Lords
ought to inquire.—(Hear, hear.) If I had been in my
place on the day when my Noble Friend introduced his
motion, I should have felt it to have been my duty to
have urged upon your Lordships to have before you the
proceedings which had taken piece in the office of the
Master-General of the Ordnance, and afterwards I should
have requested your Lordships to agree to the address I
now ask ycu to adopt, namely—" That an humble ad-
dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Ma-
jesty will be pletiaed to give directions that there be laid
before this House copies or extracts of any report made
to the Veator-General of the Ordn anon on the subject of
the inventions of Mr. Warner." My Lords, lam aware
that Mr. Warner has objected to the officers appointed
by the Ordnance to make these inquiries, and particularly
that he has objected to a gall ent friend of mine, Sir
Howard Douglas. Indeed, I understand my Noble
Friend (Earl Talbot) mentioned him in this House when
be introduced his motion. Now I tteg leave to read to
your Lordships a few words !beta a letter from this
same gentleman, Mr. Warner, to the Master-General of
the Ordnance, upon this vary officer, Sir Howard
Douglas.—(Hear, hear.) Ho say's, with respect to the
appointment of Sir Howard Douglas and Sir Edward
Owen, "I approve of the choice the Government have
made in these distinguished offinese."—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) My Lords, Sir Edward Owen could not attend
on this Committee, owing to his b eing employed in the
service, but Sir Byam Martin (1, d, and his is an officer
whom your Lordships know to be distinguished for his
services. My Lords, under th ese circumstances, I
think it would be advisable to wait until your Lordships
have seen what was reported upon,these inventions by a
committee of scientific officers of the navy and army
appointed by the Master-General of the Ordnance to
consider the expediency of adopting this invention for
the service of her Majesty.—(Cheer •s.)
The Earl of DERBY observed LI tat he was so far in the
position of the Noble and Gallant:Uuke that he also had
been prevented from attending in. their Lordships' House
on the day on which the molten was made to refer the
invention, or presumed invention, of Captain Warner
to a Select Committee; and he would admit that if
he viewed the case in the as me light with the
Noble Duke ho should have coot eto the conclusion to
-which he (the Noble Duke) has' i apparently arrived—
namely, that it would not be expos iient to enter into a
Aiscussion of the merits of this Levi ention. If, moreover,
be believed that this Committee / ins moved for as an
appeal against the decision of vet :y competent officers
appointed on the highest authorise to examine and re-
port on the inventions, he should', have felt as strongly
as the Noble Duke that nothing oteald be more inconve-
nient than (and this he said with net meaning the slight.
est dierespeento their Lordships) to refer the question
from a more chmpetent to a less entnipetent authority.—
(Hear.) If this was an appeal fie nu that inquiry for the
purpose of obtaining a sum of mon a y from .Parliament, ho
should be the first to object to the inquiry proposed;
but he apprehended the Noble D mite must be somewhat
misinformed as to the intention w I.de which this Com-
mittee was asked, and the intent. ;ion wide which their
Lordships had granted it.—(Hear, hear.) All the papers
which formed the subject of the !it idress of the Noble
Duke had, he believed, been sire aiy submitted to Par-
liament, and there could be no ix:convenience arising
from their being reprinted, if tie) Noble Duke de-
sired their production either befor e the House cr the
Committee.

The Duke of WELLINGTON'--Look at the terms
of the motion.

The Earl of DERBY (in oonti Satiation) said he was
quite aware of the terms of the motion, and also that the
Select Committee was appointed to eport upon Capt.
Warner's inventions and the sever al matters connected
therewith. BM he thought the Nob In and Gallant Duke
was still under misapprehension wit h regard. to the ob-
jects of the inquiry, and its terms a eked for or granted.
The fact was this—Captain Warn et • bad made,. or was
alleged to have made, two very itn portant discoveries.
One, the long range, certainly laid a fair trial, and
was most unequivocally condemned by the parties em-
ployed to examine and report up( re it. Hero Captain
Warner contended that he had b eon placed at a dis-
advantage; but he did pot, ask fc r another trial or
exhibition of his projeCtile. With regard to the in-
vention, there could be. doubt • whatever that Cap-
tain Warner was Pessaased of thl., secret of a highly
explosive power, calculated .to pre 'duce extraordinary
effect's.. • flow the, applieation, was to be applied was
another question, and was totally sets aratp from the exclu-
sive compound itself. ' How far the i n Vention could be ap-
plied to naval or military operatio:an, or be made avail-
able for sggrersion or detente, was. a ellitinct question.
The destruction of the vessel, autr
o:cling to the testimony,
of the officers present, *di' more s'szeldim and complete
than could have been had by any other explosive sub-,
stance ordinarily used in warfare; but onrall previoue
occasions Captain Warner had ,defired;that tipon the
stiehese of his -operations being efilriitted,- he should,
without any further inquiry, be pail a large sum out of
the public purse. .Such was the proposition made by the
late Sir 'Robert Peel, but which he had' properly and
most justifiably refused to aceedo to. Capt. Warner
new came 'Were' their Lordahipe with a different pro-
, P9litiott: He was prepared to come before ;the Select
Committee without requiring any pledge or even under-
Bwr pa; as to remuneration, and lele before them the
c!, secret of his invention. Ureler these drcnret-.
stances,he thought it would be blird. upon Ciptain
Tearnee to
Peers fully refuse his 'application. Atid'here let it be re-
memberiid that

tions which 1.0 appreciate the meeita of the explana-
