THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1864.

persons from his own estate in Ireland across the Atlantic.
The Chief Sereetary for Ireland last year, and again a few
nights ago, gave proof that emigration is going on, and that
about 60,000 men had crossed the Atlantic in the course oflast
year. The noble lord now tells us, but not correctly, that
the wages in Ireland are from is to is 6d a day, but I have
been told by gentlemen from Ireland that the wages in the
south-west are not more than 10d to is. If that be so, how
dare the hon. and learned member, with his logical mind,
assume that the American Government is breaking inter-
national law or municipal law, in order to induce Irishmen
to emigrate to America, when he must know that already an
overwhelming attraction apart from the question of war is
drawing Irishmen to America ? The noble lord spoke of
the bounty to the soldier being 100 dols., but it amounts
nearer to £100; and the only marvel is, that any Irishman,
who is not the owner of land or a man of some capital,
should remain in that blighted and unhappy country. Now,
I happen to know the gentleman who fills the office of con-
sul for the United States in the port of Liverpool, and that
gentleman told me that, since the war began, there was not
a day his office was open that he had not to answer questions
of Englishmen as well as Irishmen, who came to him to
know if he could help them to go over to America, and they
would enlist in the American army. I think it not unlikely,
when £lOO is offered in America, that some shrewd fellow
should try to persuade Englishmen and Irishmen to go
over to America, so that he might receive handsome remu-
neration for taking them there, if they chose to enlist in the
army and received a bounty. The hon. and learned mem-
ber has been travelling in foreign countries upon commer-
cial speculations.
Mr. ROEBUCK—That is not true,
Mr. BRIGHT—If it is not true I retract it; bat, at any
rate, I am quite sure if there is an American as shrewd as the
hon. and learned member he might make money by taking
men to America. (Laughter.) I undertake to say that those
who will read the speech of the hon. and learned member will
not consider him a fair critic ; and more than that, although
I have no inclination to defend the character of the noble
lord at the head of the Foreign-office, yet, turning back to the
events of last session, and the course which the hon. and
learned member took upon the floor of this house, I under-
take to say that there does not exist at this moment in this
country a minister or statesman who has done so much to
humiliate this house and the country as the hon. and learned
gentleman did after his return from his expedition to Paris,
(Hear, hear.)
Lord R. CECIL thought the hon. member for Birming-
ham had mistaken the case which had been put before the
house, and in which he was inclined to agree. Now, what
the hon. and learned member for Sheffield complained of
was, that her Majesty's Government proceeded towards the
Confederate Government upon pure suspicion, and remon-
strated with them while they refused to remonstrate with
the Federals. He had lately seen in the American news
that agents had been sent over from America for the pur-
pose of inducing people to emigrate. There was not a strong
power in the world that Government had not remonstrated
with, and they would go on remonstrating to the end of the
chapter ; and although we do not hear of the slightest effect
arising from these remonstrances, he trusted they would
go on remonstrating as long as they felt the slightest plea-
sure in that agreeable occupation.
Mr. KINGLAKE thought the words "abuse,"
"cowardly," and "corrupt," were words not fit to apply to
the Government of Washington. He wished to say the
opinions of the hon. gentleman (Mr. Roebuck) did not re-
present the opinions of that house. (Hear, hear.) They did
not represent the opinions of any party in that house ; they
did not represent the opinions of any fraction of that house;
but they did represent that for which the hon, gentleman
has great respect—the opinions of the hon. gentleman,
(Laughter,) If, therefore, the American people became
indignant, they would be able to show to them what
manner of man it was who had thought fit to use to them
language of that description. They might imagine that
name was a kind of oracle in that house. He admitted
that so far that the right hon. gentleman did speak with a
kind of mystery and a degree of precision which were attri•
buted to the oracles of old; but there was another attribute
required of an oracle—that an oracle should be an oracle
whom somebody consulted. (Laughter.) Now he had
been for some years in the house, and he never heard of any
man, or any group of men, who went to consult that oracle.
(Laughter.) " The screaming of a cockatoo," and the
"language of an old woman," were terms in which the hon.
member thought fit to express the conduct of Lord Russell ;
and he hoped the American Government would be as in-
different to the language of the hon. gentleman, as the noble
lord would be whose name had been vilipended by the hon.
gentleman.
Mr. CAIRD, from what he had seen in the Western and
some parts of the Northern States, was of opinion that the
Irish portion of the population was averse to war. When
they found advertisements offering is. per day to railway
labourers, the board not to exceed 12s, a week, it was not
surprising that the Irish people could not resist the induce-
ment. There were countries in America capable of absorb-
ing with ease, and keeping in abundance, something like
seventy millions of population; and he was very much
afraid that a silent revolution was beginning in the labour
market, which would settle the question of the law of re-
moval, mid others that had arisen from fear of too redundant
population. (Hear, hear.)
QUARTERMASTER ACRES.

Mr. POLLARD-URQUHART called the attention o.
the house to the circumstances attending the dismissal of
Quartermaster Acres from the North Tipperary Militia
(laughter) ; and to move for papers. An investigation was
held, which ended in his dismissal; but no attention was
paid to his complaints; and although the other side brought
forward witnesses, he was not allowed to bring forward
any; and now only wished to defend his conduct.

THE PARIS PLOT.
Sir L. PALK rose to ask a question which he said was
of great importance to the honour of this country. He
could understand why hon, gentlemen occupying distin-
guished positions in that house treated with contempt
any scurrilous abuse that appeared in the newspapers of
this or any other country, but when grave charges were
brought against the honour of that house and this country
by an official of a friendly nation, he could not suppose for
one moment that communication had not been made with
that Government to the effect that the assertions had at
once been contradicted and denied, and that proof had been
forwarded to the Government as to the falsity of that
charge. He was quite sure that no charge brought against
this country was so painful to the feelings of Englishmen
as that any Englishman, by word or deed, by thought or
expression, could promote or instigate any man to assassi-
nate or commit murder. He was quite certain that was so
foreign to the feelings of every Englishman, that he was
glad to have that opportunity of enabling her Majesty's
Government to take the earliest opportunity in their power
to vindicate the honour of this country, and to declare that
those assertions that were made by the Procureur-General
were utterly devoid of all truth—nay more, were devoid of
all possible suspicion—and to assure the French Govern-
ment that no charge could be brought against this nation
which was more abhorrent, more worthy of contempt of all
honest men, than the charge that one of that house had
been guilty directly or indirectly of stimulating others to
become assassins. He asked the Secretary of State whether ,
any correspondence had passed on the subject.
Mr. LAYARD agreed with the hon. member that it was
necessary that the honour of this country ehould be vindi-
cated in a matter of this nature, and agreed also that the
honour of the country was hest vindicated by treating such
accusations as these with the contempt they deserved.
(Hear, hear.) He was quite certain that there was no man
in this ceuntry—and no man was better acquainted with
this country than the distinguished man who now ruled
over France—but who would believe that such an accusa-
tion made against a member of Parliament or any English-
man must be totally and entirely false. The course her
Majesty's Government had pursued was to take no notice
of these accusations. No communication had been made,
nor was it intended to make any,
Mr. P. HENNESSY agreed that no one in that house
would be guilty of the charges Made by the Procureur-
General. But there was another subject upon which he
wished to tottcb, and that was the principles declared by
Mazzini on the subject of assassination, and published in
this country, He held a book in his hand, called " The
Theory of the Dagger," published by llolyoako and Co., in
Fleet-street, from which it appeared that Daniel Manin ac-
cused Mazzini of abetting assassination; and to that accusa-
tion Maeeini replied, that in it Mazzini referred to his own
principles and practice. He (Mazzini) set out by noticing
what Daniel Manin had considered an act of great courage,
the publication of a letter in the limes, and said, speaking
of courage, that by the dagger they would obtain without
the slightest risk the rights of their country. Having read
an abstract to prove what were M. Mazzini's doctrines ac-
cording to his own avowal, the hon, member proceeded to
ask the house to listen to the description given of them by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer in a translation which he
published of a book called " The Roman States," by M.
Parini, the late Prime Minister of King Victor Emanuel.
The house had heard two ministers of the Crown, the one
in praise of Mazzini and his doctrines, the other declaring
that Mazzini had done nothing to induce people to be guilty
of such crimes. The hon. member concluded by avowing
his belief that the hon. member of Halifax was perfectly
sincere in his declarations with respect to Mazzini; but, at
the same time, so great was the genius of Mazzini, that he
had made a dupe of the hon. member. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. W. E. FOSTER protested against charges being
thus brought against an absent man, who, whatever his
faults, was still a man of very high character. (Hear,
hear.) He believed that, in the general opinion of men
of all parties, Mazzini was not implicated in the late
plot; and if there was any plat, it was a plot to impli-
cate Mazzini. It seemed to him to be an abuse of the
privileges of that house for any member of Parliament
to use such language with respect to Mazzini. If the
hon. member believed Mazzini guilty of the charges
which he had insinuated, let him call upon the Government
to institute a prosecution ; but if not, was it fair to bring up
a pamphlet which was written some time ago, which con-
tained a great deal that was foolish, and which could only
be properly judged of by having the whole of it before them.
(Hear, hear.)

Mr. G. DUFF said it did not lie in his mouth to defend
M. Mazzini, but at the same time he should regret to see
the House of Commons disposed to act a part of gigantic
hypocrisy. The hon. member for King's County naturally
detested Mazzini, because, in spite of his shortcomings, he

had done more than any other man to keep alive the groat
idea of Italian unity.
Mr. DISRAELI—I think the observations of the hon.
member for Bradford should not be allowed to pass alto-
gether without observation. The hon. gentleman has en-
tirely drawn the attention of the house from the real ques-
tion beforo it, and the positions which he has laid down are
such as we ought not to recognise. (Hear.) It seems to me
to be not only the right but the duty of members of Par-
liament to make remarks upon absent men, and that it is
not necessary M. Mazzini should be amongst us in order to
qualify hon. gentlemen to criticise his conduct. (Hear.) I
think the remarks of the Prime Minister upon a former
evening, when he deprecated observations upon a Minister
of State who sits in the other House of Parliament, merely
on account of his absence, went to the root of all Parlia-
mentary criticism. (Hear.) However, what 1 rise for is to
say that the cause which rendered it necessary for the hon.
member for the King's County to make these observations
to the house seems to be perfectly forgotten. Some nights
ago, when this question was brought before the house, and
the conduct of a member of the Administration was im-
pugned for his supposed intimacy with Mazzini and his
possible connection with assassins, that gentleman, sitting
next the Prime Minister, and announcing himself a
Minister of the Crown, giving thereby due solemnity
to any statement he might make, repudiated in the
most indignant language the imuutation that ho could
be connected with assassins, and owning et the same
time a long intimacy and fervent friendship with
Mazzini, he also declared Mazzini incapable of such conduct
or exploits, Well, the affair of the moment terminated;
but certainly, with such evidence before him, it became the
duty of my hon. and learned friend to show that the state-
ment of the Minister of the Crown was perfectly unfounded,
and that upon political as weal as philosophical principles,
Mazzini is not only an advozate but a great promoter of
assassination. (Hear, hear.) Nor am I surprised that my
hon. friend the member for South Devon should have put a
question to the Minister which has been so unsatisfactorily
answered. Here is a plot to assassinate a neighbouring
sovereign, whom some believe is the intimate ally of this
country. A member of the Government, a Minister of the
country, who by his own admission is at least the friend of
Mazzini, if not the correspondent of Greco, while he repu-
diates being connected with Mazzini, yet gives him a cha-
racter which it is in the power of any ono to show has no
foundation in fact. He acknowledges hie long intimacy
with Manini, and he says at the same time that, from per-
sonal observation of his character, Mazzini is incapable of
holding these odious opinions. Well, it speaks very little
for the knowledge of human nature by a Minister of the
Crown, or for his powers of observation, if for 17 years he
has been intimate with this well-known character, and that
he should believe him incapable of opinions which he has so
elaborately vindicated, and upon every occasion circulated
and defended, (Opposition cheers and laughter.) I think
these are grave circumstances. We have the admission that
a member of the Administration is the intimate friend of
one who has professed a system of organised assassination,
and I therefore think that the member for South Devon was
perfectly justified in making the inquiry which he did;
while I believe the House of Commons, the country, and
other countries will deem the answer of the Government
most unsatisfactory. (Opposition cheers.)
OUR CONDUCT TO WARDS DENMARK.

Mr. BUTLER-JOH N STONE asked, with reference to
the detention of the Danish ironclad in the Clyde, whether,
following the course adopted at the commencement of the
Italian war and at the outbreak of the American rebellion,
it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to advise
the issue of a Royal proclamation in regard to the Danish
war ?

The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said that the respect
which her Majesty's Government felt for the lion, member
induced them to make an answer to his question, to the
effect that it had never been the custom to issue proclama-
tions of neutrality in any case in which her Majesty's Go-
vernment felt that they had a deep interest in the matters
which were involved in pending negotiations, and which
might call for any action on the part of har Majesty's Go-
vernment. In the present case, her Majesty's Government
was a party by treaty, and might be involved in the nego-
tiatious which were pending. They were watching with
deep solicitude tho course of events, and using their utmost
exertions to promote an issue which was for the general in-
terest of Europe, of Denmark, and of this country. Under
these circumstances, it was absolutely necessary that her
Majesty's Government should reserve to themselves power
to take any course which the honour and interests of Europe
and Great Britain might require. To issue a proclamation
of neutrality—which would be to declare that we should
necessarily keep neutral during the war, whatever the even-
tualities of that war might be—woull be to take a most
undignified and inconsistent position.

Aft2l- a delay of about half an hour in futile attempts to

bird, Grace Darling, Weatherglass, the Frangipani colt,
Spring•gun, and Zouave Jun , the others headed byMoney
Spinner, the two last being East Lynn. and Rondoletia.
Coming round into the straight, about a quarter of a mile

from the finish, Blackbird closed upon King Arthur, the

stand, :where Blackbird stopped, completely beaten, and

immediately afterwards King Arthur also compounded.
Two hundred yards from the Judge Money Spinner rushed
to the front, and "stalling off" East Lynn and the Frangi-

and Angl'-Saxon, which three were four or five lengths in
front of Fontenoy, who was a similar distance in advance of
Ghillie Callum, New York being tailed off early. A mile
from home Anglo-Saxon took second place, and half a mile
from the finish he secured a clear lead for the succeeding
quarter of a mile, and was challenged by Mantrap and Fon-
tenoy at the distance. Half-way up the distance Mantrap
died away, and opposite the stand Fontenoy got his head in
front, but Anglo-Saxon, answering gamely to the frequent
and determined calls made by young Loates, won a splendid
finish by a short head, Two lengths separated the second
