POLAND.
Earl RUSSELL said, as he had just learned by tele-
graph that the reply of the Russian Government to the de-
spatch of the three Powers would not be sent off until the
14th or 15th, and, consequently, could not reach her
Majesty's Government until it was too late for
for him to make a statement, he would on Monday next, in
answer to his friend Earl Grey, enter into an explanation
of the state of the negotiations with respect to Poland. In
the meantime he begged to lay upon the table a copy of the
despatch containing the six points.
OUR RELATI'iNd WITH JAPAN.
The Earl of CARNARVON moved for copies of any
instructions given by her Majesty's Government to her
Majesty's diplomatic servants in Japan or to the officers in
command of her Majesty's land or naval forces, to make
demands upon the Government of Japan, with the alter-
native of immediate hostilities on the rejection of such
demands. The noble earl referred at some length to the
events that had brought about the present unfortunate state
of affairs, and said he considered the breaking out of hos-
tilities in that distant part of the world a circumstance of the
gravest importance, and he should be glad to hear an ex-
planation from the noble earl opposite of certain matters
which it appeared were about to involve usin war with Japan.
He did n. t think the differences as they had come to his know.
ledge were sufficient to justify such a step, and he advised
the Government before they committed the country to a
long and costly war to reconsider the determination
they had arrived at. Before they decided for war
he hoped they would not overlook the immense
difficulty and expense of sending out troops ; and if it sh• uld
be decided to carry on hostilities by a combined expedition
he must say he for one greatly diapproved of such a pro-
ceeding, because combined expeditions only engendered
jealousy, distrust, and irritation.

CHURCH RATES AMENDMENT BILL.
Lord A. CHURCHILL brought in this bill, which was
read a first time, and ordered for second reading to-morrow

trustees seen their way to a change in this direction, they
would have gladly adopted it, but great deterioration
to the collection would be the result of the appli-
cation of gas-light, The books of the Athemum
Club were partly injured by the library being lit with gas.
Mr. BOUVERIE—They were destroyed.
Mr. WALPOLE enquired if those who favoured the
opening of the Museum in the evening had reckoned the
expense of lighting and assistants. With respect to open-
ing the Museum on Sunday, the house had decided
against i t, and the trustees could not themselves take a step
opposed to the principle on which the other public institu-
tions of the country were conducted.
Mr. AYRTON said that the building was particularly
adapted for gas-lighting, and that it could be accomplished
without danger to the collection.
Sir J. TRELAWNY said there should be an end to this
competition
between public bands and public institutions
or pre-eminence on the Sabbath by the opening of the
latter.
The vote was then agreed to, and the house resumed.
The sitting was suspended at a quarter to four.
