The Marquis of CLANRICARDE addressed another
question to the noble earl, in a very indistinct manner.
Earl RUSSELL said he had given a copy of Mr. Seward's
lett,,r to Parliament, and ha would take the opportunity of
asking the law officers of the Crown to look into the law of
nations on this point.

The Earl of iILLENBOROUGH asked how the British
consul was to discover a letter containing anything of a
treasonable nature. Was he to open it, or judge from
supervision ?

The Earl of HARDWICKE thought that the ploposi•
tion was nothing more than that a British consul should be
made use of to attack British subjects.
Lord TAUNTON commended the prudence of the Go-
vernment. War was a very serious thing, and he hoped
that England would not allow herself to be entangled in it.
The Earl of AIALMESBURY wished to know whether
the Government had admitted or repudiated the demand ?
Earl RUSSELL said the Government had expressed an
opinion, but had (as we understood the noble earl) issued
a modified order. Until he had obtained the opinion of
the law officers of the Crown upon the questions he should
place before them, he should reserve his reply.
The subject then dropped.
QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES ABOLITION
Lord
BILL.
WODEHOUSE moved the second reading of this
bill, the object of which was to do away with the oaths and
declarations required by the Act of Geo. IV. on taking pub-
lic appointments. His lordship said the opponents of the
measure had tried to excite a prejudice against it by de-
scribing it as the offspring of a Dissenting body called the
Church Liberation Society ; but he believed it was sincerely
intended as a relief t', a large number of persons who had
conscientious objection to oaths.
The Earl of DERBY (in the absence of the Duke of
Buckingham, who had been just sent for from the house
on account of some domestic calamity) opposed the bill.
He said he did not do so because he hae any illiberal
feeling towards the Dissenting body, or because he feared
their injuring the Church of which he was an attached
member. If the Established Church could not live and
prosper without those oaths, he was quite sure they
would not save her. The bill, however, had been rejected
five times already upon good ground and after full discus-
sion, and, as he did not think it was intended to remedy any
real grievance, he should move that it be read a second time
that day six months.

Earl COWPER, (who addressed the house for the first time)
and the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH also opposed the bill.
Lord LYTTLETON said he should certainly give the bill
the strongest opposition, The parties who promoted it had
no real complaint, and that was my anothor of the con-
stantly repeated attempts by the agitators of the Dissenting
community to make headway against the established reli-
gion of the country. It was well known that there was a
party who boasted that they would never rest until they had
effected a complete separation of the Church from the State,
and their disposition was no doubt good. Up to the pre-
sent time, however, it was satisfactory to find that their
charitable attempts had done about as much harm to that
venerable institution as Mr. John Bright's speeches had
done to the party who sat opposite. (Laughter.)
Earl RUSSELL said, as he had been instrumental in
bringing the bill forward in the other house, he should give
it his support there.

Earl URANVILLE also briefly supported it, but upon
a division tho bill was thrown out by 69 to 52.

PETITIONS.
By Sir J. Dmcm, from Farringdon. Ward, praying that
the Holborn-hill improvement might be proceeded with ;
Mr. Baines, Leeds ; Sir H. -Verner, Armagh ; Mr. Lawson,
Haddington.'and others, in favour of closing public-houses
on the Sabbath.
THE METROPOLITAN AND CIT/ POLICE.
The LORD MAYOR gave notice of his intention to
move for a return of the number and description of
troops employed in the route of the procession
from the Bricklayers' Arms to Paddington, on the
7th of March last, specifying the number in the three por-
tions of the route; also copies of all the correspondence be-
tween Sir Richard Mayne and the War Office on the sub-
ject of employing troops.
Col. FRENCH also gave notice that on Monday he
should ask the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment whether, as the bill he had introduced for the amalga-
mation of tke Metropolitan with the City polico was be.
lieved to partake of a hybrid character—being, strictly
speaking, neither a public nor a private bill, and proposed
to deal with corporations acting under charters and Acts of
liament—he intended to proceed with it ?
MERCANTILE SHIPS AND FEDERAL
CRUISERS.
Lord A. CHURCHILL aske.l the Solicitor General
who ther merchant ships in the prosecution of a voyage be-
t ween neutral ports, would be legally justified in defending
themselves by the use of arms, from capture by the cruisers
of the Federal States of America?
_ _

'The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied that such ves-
sels would certainly not be justified in defending them-
,el vt A from capture by force of arms, and cited the case of
the Swedish convoy in support of this opinion. Vessels
go defending themselves would be exposed „to capture and
Vt./Lidcrenation,

INCREASE OF SMALL PDX.
Lord NAAS asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Thrortment whether the attention of the Government had
been drawn to the increase of small pox in the metropolis;
and whether it was his intention to propose during the pre-
sent session any measure for the promotion of vaccination ?
11Ir. LOWE replied that the subject had, of late, much
engaged the attention of the Government. There was a
measure in existence compelling compulsory vaccination,
and I hough not a very complete measure, yet, unless badly
carried out by localauthorities, it had been found exceedingly
use:1:1. There was no law of the kind in Scotland, and the
question of making the law more efficient, and the propriety
0+ extending it to Scothnd,was now engaging the attention
of the Government, but no positive decision had yet been
arrived at.

THE VOTE FOR THE PRINCE CONSORT'S
MEMORIAL.

Mr. CONINGHAM gave notice of his intention to move
that the vote for the Prince Consort's memorial be post-
poned until such time as the noble lord at the head of the

THIRD READINGS.

The Market Harborough and Loughborough Road,
London and North-Western, and Lancashire and York-
shire Railway Companies, South Staffordshire Railway and
Denbeieh. Water Bills were read a third time and passed.
THE WAR IN AMERICA.
Lord REDESDALE said he wished to know whether
he understood the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs to say that the United Slates Government had re-
quested the British Government to authorise the British
Consul to open the sealed mail bags from this country to see
if amongst the letters there was anything bearing upon the
queetioriat issue between the North and South, in order
that it might be conveyed to the American Government.
Earl RUSSELL, who spoke in a very low tone of voice,
was understood to say that such a demand had been made.
The Earl of DERBY was surprised that a demand had
been made that the sealed correspondence of a mail packet
should be opened by the British Consul in the presence of
an officer:of the United States, in order that the latter might
ascertain whether there was evidence enough to justify trim
in taking the vessel into a prize court for condemnation.
He should like to know whether that demand had been
denied or acquiesced in.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought the question
of such a severe nature that the noble earl would well c'ei-
Eider it and answer it on Monday next. He should like to
know upon what ground any British Consul had the power
t) open any letters. He did not think he had the slightest
right to do such an act. He hoped the noble earl would
take the opinion of the law officers of the Crown in the
question.
Lord CH ELMSFORD wished to know whether any in-
formation had been received relative to accounts he had
seen in the evening papers—viz, that four more English
vessels had been seized ?
Earl RUSSELL said ha had not received any official
information on the subject, but what was certain was,
that for many months English vessels had run
tho blockade, and others had attempted to do
so without success. Some of those had been captured, and
more than likely the information referred to some of those
ships.

Mr. HENLEY gave notice that he should move an
amendment to this bill when it was next before the house,
to the effect that the bill be read a second time that day six
months. (Hey., hear )
