GREECE.

In reply to Mr. B. COCHRANE,
Mr. LAYARD, stated that it was not usual to publish
telegrams, and beside it would not be usual or convenient to
lay on the table of the house the recent (proceedings in
Greece with respect to the election of Prince William whilst
the negotiations were pending.
DEPUTATION YESTERDAY TO EARL RUSSELL
WITH RESPECT TO THE SEIZURE OF AME-
RICAN SHIPS.

In reply to Mr. BFNTINCK,
Mr. CRAWFURD stated, that the report of the inter-
view in the newspapers of this day was strictly correct, and
the document perfectly correct.
CHINA.

In reply to Colonel SvxEs,
Mr. LAYARD replied that he had only that morning
receivel some particulars with respect to the matter re-
ferred to. He could not yet tell whether guns lost were
the property of her Majesty or not. It appeared that Capt.
Holland had accompanied the expedition, which, he under-
stood, was a very foclish one, and it was well he did so, as
the results would have been far more disastrous than
reported.
SUPPLY—HARBOURS OF REFUGE.
On the motion for going into Committee of Supply,
Sir F. SMITH moved that so much of the report of the
Commissioners on Harbours of Refuge as applied to Wa-
terford, Wick, and Padstow be carried into effect.
The hon, and gallant member urged, at some length, the
propriety of losing no time in constructing these important
harbours.
(LEFT BITTING.)
London, England, 1863-04-17

Ids strong conviction that when the balance came to be ad-
justed the Imperial Treasury would be found indebted to ex
much larger extent to the Indian. Treasury than the Indian
Treasury was to the Imperial Treasury; and that, as the
only means of getting rid of the confusion which prevailed
with respect to the accounts between the two Administra-
tions, they must entirely separate Indian from British
finance.

Mr. P. URQUHART reminded the committee that the:
Chancellor of the Exchequer had taken no account of the
ordinary increase which, in years uninfluenced by disturb-
ing causes, arose in the receipts of the customs and excise
which could not bo set down as less than £BOO,OOO. But
taking that into account, it was quite clear that a surplus
for the present year might fairly be calculated upon, and
that as the past financial operati ns of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, although carried out under the most unpropi-
tious circumstances, had fully ju-tified the confidence of his
supporters, so wou'd his arrangements for the future equally
merit their adhesion and the approval of the country. The
reduction of the tea duties he regarded as a great boon to
the labouring classes in Ireland.

Mr. LINDSAY, while expressing his approval of the
budget as a whole, warned the Chancellor of the Exchequer
that he would find the mercantile interests most dissatisfied
with his intention not to interfere with the present scale of
sugar duties.
The resolutions embodying the proposals with respect to
chicory were then put from the chair, and a bill was ordered
to be introduced on the subject.
The chairman then left the chair, and the house resumed.

BILL.

Mr. H. MILLS objected to proceeding with this bill, on
the ground that the company did not do its duty to the
locality, actually putting the inhabitants of Egham and
Staines to 6s 6d. expense to telegraph to London (21 miles),
whereas the people of Leeds and Manchester could commu-
nicate with London for ls. (Hear.) He moved that the
further progress of the bill be postponed until to-morrow.—
Agreed to.

PRINCE LOUIS OF HESSE.

at 25 minutes after four. At this period the house—espe-
cially the Opposition benches—was exceedingly full. Every

nearly filled by hon. members.
THE DISTRESS IN THE COTTON DISTRICTS,
Mr. FERRAND gave notice that on the 27th he should

sary to relieve the distress prevailing in the cotton districts

rate agents in London suppsed to be engaged iu the con-
struction of Confederate ships. No " spies" had been em-
ployed by the Government.

THE LISBURN ELECTION.

The ATTORNEY-LitENERAL then moved that it be
referred to the general committee of elections to inquire into
the circumstances connected with the withdrawal of the
petition of William John Knox and Moses Bullick against
the return of Mr. Barbour for the borough of Lisburn.
After a few observations from Sir HUGH CAIRNS and

Colonel DUNNE moved the adjournment of the debate
in consequence of the absence of the Irish members, and the
lateness of the hour.
Mr. FERRAND seconded the motion.
Sir H. CAIRNS supported the motion for the adjourn-
ment of the discussion.

DOCKYARD SERVANTS.
Mr. FERRAND asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether the board intended to comply with the metuorial
of the masters of dock and victualling craft for increase of
pay, or to restore the pensions to their widows P
Lord C. PAGET replied that the matter was definitively
settled in 18 1, and that it was not therefore the intention
of the Admiralty to again reopen it. But the Admiralty
had under consideration whether it would not be well to
dispense with " craft" now, and to replace them by warrant
officers, who might, if requisite, be called upon to fight for
their country.
BRITISH FISHING VESSELS IN FRENCH
PORTS.

Mr. BENTINCK asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, whether any, and if any, what steps
had been taken by the Government for the re-adjustment
of such articles in the Convention with France of 1843, as
appeared to bear hardly upon our fishermen; and whether
it was true that our fishing vessels frequent certain Ports
in France for the sale of oysters; and whether the
Convention of 1843 was not in contradiction with the Treaty
of Commerce of 1860 on that point
Mr. LA YARD replied that by arrangement with the
French Government British fishing vessels were allowed to
frequent French ports for the sale of oysters, and French
oyster boats British ports, but it was found that this
amounted to an infraction of the treaty, could not be done
without a special act of Parliament, consequently the per-
mission given had been withdrawn.

THE POLISH QUESTION.

PARIS, APRIL 17.

The Constitutionnel of to-day, publishes an article
signed by its editor, M. Paulin Limayrac, explain-
ing that the steps taken by the Powers at St.
Petersburg were in conformity with diplomatic
tradition.

The Constituttonnel adds, that the despatches
have been drawn up in the barn° spirit, aim at the
same object, and are based upon the same ideas, the
intentioa of which is to prevent the repetition of
political convulsions, liable to endanger the peace
of Europe. The English note refers in addition to
the treaties of 1815. The despatches will be com-
municated to-day or to-morrow.

The writer concludes ; " Europe has done her
duty. Let us hope that Russia will not fail to ac-
complish hers. In that case those nations whose
sympathy has been so ardently displayed in the
noble cause of Poland will applaud the powerful
Sovereign who will have accomplished a liberal task
by fu filling the desires of conservative Europe.

ROYAL BURGHS OF SCOTLAND.

The annual convention of the Royal Burghs of
Scotland was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday and
Wednesday, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh being
appointed Preses. Sixty-one Royal Burghs were re-
presented. It was resolved to present addresses to
the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales,
expressive of the joy which the Royal marriage
had occasioned throughout the country. It was

it was carried to limit the approval to the principle
of the bill, which set forth the necessity of defining
the point of measurement of the seven miles within
which proprietors in burghs residing beyond it
retain the right to vote, and to petition that, in-
stead of the boundary as prescribed by the bill,
the point should be the market cross, town-hall,
or other central place. The Provost of Dumfries
put a question to the Preses on the subject of the
precedence recently given to Dublin before Edin-
burgh in the presentation of addresses to the
QneeN, and the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, to
whom the matter was one of personal status, assured
the convention that the right of Edinburgh as the
elder capital of the United Kingdom to Dublin
would not be lost sight of. A motion by the Asses-
sor of Stranraer as to the enormous quantityofgun-
pwder in Edinburgh Castle (about 100 tons, or
2,700 barrels) was withdrawn on the representation
of other members that the matter might be safely
left to the magistrates of Edinburgh. The conven-
tion adjourned till the first Tuesday of April, 1864,
having remitted to a standing committee to act for
the convention in regard to the various bills before
Parliament affecting the interests of the burghs
and of the general community.

TUE lONIAN ISLANDS.

Lord CHELMSe OltD rose to the attention of the
house to the case of the removal of two judges of the Su-
preme Council of the United States of the lonian Islands,
and for the purpose of moving for corret-pontlence and
papers on the subject. The noble lord said it was
advisable, if we were destined to break off our present con-
nection with the lonian Islands, to do so without leaving
behind any remembrance which might have a had impression
upon the inhabitants. The officers were removed without
even the compliment of notice. The noble and learned lord
then proceeded to give an outline of the constitution of the
Islands to show the extreme injustice which had been in-
dicted upon two very able gentlemen. His case rested
on the removal and not with the successors appointed
in their places, but it was somewhat unfortunate that
one of the members of the senate who assisted in the
removal of the judges was appointed to the office.
It had been remarked that the circumstances connected
with the case justified the removal, but what those circum-
stances were he failed to discover. What he thought was
due to the two gentlemen was a public avowal that it was
not from any disqualification on their part that they had been
removed, in order that no stigma might rest upon them.
He trusted there would be no objection to the production
of the correspondence he moved tor.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he was surprised his
noble friend had confined himself to only only point, espe-
cially as he had admitted that the proceedings had been
legal. The noble and learned lord defended the principle of
making all officers in the lonian Islands removable after five
years' service, and although judges were generally re-elected
in this case, it must not be considered illegal because that
proceeding had not been carried out.
