Churches and Hospital, Garstang and Knot End Railway,
Sunningdale and Cambridge Town Railway, North British
Railway (Perth Branch).
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Erith Tramway, Chichester and Midhurst Railway, and
Chelmsford and Hernston Lane Head Road.
EAST AND WEST JUNCTION RAILWAY, AND
BLOCK LEY AND BANBURY RAILWAY BILLS.
Lord CHELMSFORD moved the re-committal of these
bills, on the ground of the exclusion of certain evidence and
undue curtailment of the right of counsel to cross-examine
witnesses before the select oommittee,to which the bills were
referred.

Lord STRADBROKE, chairman of the committee in
question, entered into a detailed explanation of the circum-
stances relative to the two bills, and defended the course the
committee had pursued. Not taking evidence and not per-
mitting to cross-examine by counsel, formed no part of the
case of those who were now complaining of the conduct of
the committee.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Evening.

The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock,
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Scottish Central Railway (Dundee and Newtyle
Extension) Bill was read a third time and passed.
PERU.

Mr. WEGUELIN asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government
had received despatches relative to the seizure of the Chin-
cha Islands, belonging to Peru, by a Spanish naval squad.
ron ; whether it was the opinion of her Majesty's
Government that the occupation in time of peace of the
territory of a friendly nation, without cause or declara-
lion of war, and the forcible detention of individuals ot that
nation to serve as hostages, was consistent with the usages
of civilised nations, or the dicta of international law; whe-
ther her Majesty's Government were prepared to admit the
claim put forth by the Spanish Admiral and the Spanish
Commissary of the , right on the pert of the Spanish
Crown tc revindicate the property of said islands, a
right they assert similar to that which Great Britain sanc-
tioned when she restored the island of Fernando Po,
Azmolon, and Coserco, after a formal and uninterrupted
possession during a considerable number of years : and,
whether her Majesty's Government will interpose their
good offices to bring about a settlement of the trifling matter
of dispute which has led to these high-handed proceedings
on the part of the Spanish officials ?
Mr. LAYARD said that he was sorry to say he could
not give satisfactory information on this matter. On
Saturday last her Majesty's Government received dispatches
from the British representative at Peru, from which it ap-
peared that the seizure alluded to was in consequence of
certain claims not having been acceded to.
THE STEAM RAMS.

Mr, HODGKINSON asked the Secretary of the Admi •
ralty, whether it was intended that the price to be paid for
the Confederate rams shall be the subject of a supplemental
vote, or whether it will be paid out of money already voted
for some other purpose ?
Lord C. PAGET said it would be his duty to bring on
a supplemental estimato in reference to this subject.

MR. HERBERT'S PICTURE.
Mr COX asked the First Commissioner of Works whether
he could make any arrangements by which the public may
have the opportunity of viewing Mr Herbert's picture in
the peers' robing room.
Mr CO WPEtt answered in the affirmative.
CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA.
Mr BAXTER asked the hen member for Sunderland if
he intended to bring on his motion with reference to the
Confederate States of America on Friday
Mr LINDSAY said that he would postpone his motion
the 17,h r.t. next rm.nth for political considerations.
OUR RELATIONS WITH. BRAZIL.

Mr. NEWDEGATE raked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Atlairs if it was not the duty of the English
Consuls who remained in Brazil since the suspension of dip-
lomatic relations to report to Earl Russell everything which
concerned the English Government or English interests;
and had her Majesty's Government not received from the
Consul at Rio or otherwise information of a speech made in
the Brazilian Senate, on Feb. '24, by M. Sinimbre, lately
Minister of Justice, defending the conduct of the Under
Secretary who wrote to ask the judges to vote a,7,aittst Mr
Reeves, producing all the correspondence with the British
Legation, and describing Mr Christie's notes complaining
of the Under Secretary's conduct, by order and with ap-
proval of Earl Russell, as " most impertinent."
Mr. LAYARD said that the consuls had sent their
reports, but he thought it would not be advisable to answer
the question of the hon. member.
MR. LYNALL THOMAS'S GUN.

Mr. GREGORY asked the Under Secretary of State
for War whether the trials of Mr. Lynall Thomas's gun
had been concluded, and whether, on the conclusion, a
report of the trials would be laid before the house.
The Marquis of HARTINGTO N said that the trials of
these guns were for the present suspended in consequence
of the bankruptcy of Mr. Thomas.
POLAND.
Mr. HENNESSY wished to know, if certain despatches
relative to Poland which had passed between Count Wale-
ski and Count Persigny, would be laid on the table of the
house, and whether they were authentic.
Lord PALMERSTON said that, as he understood the
question, it appeared despatohes were sent to the Prussian
ambassador, but whether these were authentic or not he
could not state.

Mr, H ENNESSY said he considered the answer most
unsatistactory, and would move that extracts of these
despatches should be laid on the table of the house.

CHINA.

Mr. COBDEN mc,ved ihefollowing resolution :—" That
in the opinion of this house, the policy of non-intervention
by force of arms in the internal political affairs of foreign
countries, which we profess to observe in our relations
with the States of Europe and America, should be observed
in our intercourse with China." He said that all parties in
China, including the natives and 'Sir Frederick Bi uce,
our representative, were dissatisfied with the policy this
country had pursued towards that important empire.
He contended that the policy of this country was detective
in every element, and so tar from being conducive to the
interests of our commerce had a tendency and result directly
the reverse, and he quoted statistics to show that the tra :e
with China was less extensive than that with Egypt, not-
withstanding the immense population and facilities afforded
by the former country for the purchase of our articles of
production. The fact was that China was the only country
where we endeavoured to force our trade by violence, and
the result was that in that direction our trade failed instead
of being in a flourishing condition. What was the reason
of that result? It merely arose from a mistaken notion
that, in order to extend trade with the Chinese,
we should force on them our political connections.
He condemned ministerial statements as being calculated
to mislead, and accused Lord Palmerston as being a master
of the language necessary to carry out that object,
and the Under .secretary tor Foreign Affairs (Mr. Layard),
as being one of his most apt pupils. (Laughter.) His
observations applied to both parties of the house
when in the Ministry. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
He contrasted the policy suggested by the late Duke of
Wellington in reference to Chiva, which was one of kindness
and forbearance, to that adopted recently by thus country,
which was the very opposite. The hon. member went at con-
siderable length into arguments in support of his views, and
was listened to with great attention by a house crowded
on both sides. He stated in conclusion that his object was
to obtain a promise from Government that there should be
a committee appointed to inquire into the nature of our
relations with China and Japan.
Mr. LAYABD replied, end was

tilities, will immediately be re-established on the 12th of
June next, the date on which the suspension of hostilities
terminates, unless the negotiations carried on at the Con,
ference of London should before then have led to at least

ment of the blockade should be given ; and I am also
directed to state that. no neutral ship, which after the re-
newal of the war might attempt to enter any one of the
blockaded Dons would be subject to capture, except win re
previous notice of the re-establishment of the blockade had
been received in the ordinary way, or through the ships of
the blockading squadron itself.--I have, &c
