embassies, missions, and political agencies, in answer to the
address of? June 1, would be presented?

the return laid on the table during the present session, but
it was so voluminous that he feared he should not succeed
in doing so.
ADMIRALTY DISPATCHES.
Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary to the Admi-
ralty whether it was true that a bag, containing the de-
spatches from the Admiralty to the Admiral on the station
at Vancouver's Island, was abstracted from on
board the United States steamer in its passage
from Panama; and whether, in the absence of
safe postal communication, the Admiral was not under the,
necessity of employing a Government war steamer to
ca
the the despatches to Panama : and, whether the Goverr,ment
were not tbliged on the occasion of the Trent affair,
to send
the despatches to the Admiral on the Pacifio station at
Vancouver's Island round by Cape Horn?
Lord C. PAGET replied that on two oreasions the bags

ing a few of the subjects on which the caudidates were ex-

:IRELAND—PARTY EMBLEMS ACT.
Mr. AsAGUIRE asked the Chef Secretary for Ireland
whether his attention had been called to the fact that the
tarty Emblems Act had been violated, on the 12th July,
in Lisburn, Belfast, and other parts of Ulster, and if riots,
involving injury to persons and property, had not been the
result ?
Sir R. PEEL regretted that occurrences of the kind had
taken place, and he had reason to believe that the news-
paper accounts had been somewhat exaggerated. Of late
years suck exhibitions had bLen subsiding, and he trusted
to the good feeling of Belfast and other towns not to en-
courage violations o the law.
