THE HOUSE.

Lord PALMERSTON said it would probably contribute
to the convenience of lion, members, and probably consort
with their desires, if he were to intimate that he intended
to move on Monday that the house at its rising adjourn to
Wednesday. (Hear, hear.)
EDUCATION OF FACTORY CHILDREN•
Mr. FERRAND inquired of the hon. member who had
charge of this bill if its provisions were intended to be ap-
plied to Scotland only, and whether if he could not bring
it in till late this evening he would postpone it ?
Mr. BAXTER replied that the bill was intended to ap-
ply to Scotland only. If he could not bring in his bill
until alatehour he should postpone it until a future evening.

LIBERATING CONVICTS.
Colonel NORTH asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department if a convict of the names of William
Stuart Farquharson, alias Frederick William Stuart, who
was tried on the 13th day of July, 1857, at Oxford, anti
sentenced to 12 years penal servitude, was still at Bermuda,
and, if not there, what had become of him ?
Sir G. GREY replied that according to the last convict
returns from Bermuda, the convict referred to was there.
INDIA—BANDA AND KIRWEE BOOTY.
Mr. ANGERSTEIN postponed his motion on this sub-
jcct until this day week.
THE CHOLERA IN THE PUNJAUB.
Sir W. MILES asked the Secretary of State for India
whether he had any objection to lay before the house the
report of a scientific commission, appointed in the autumn
of 1861, to inquire into and report upon the epidemic of
cholera, which had just caused great mortality in the Pun-
jaub, and in the valley of the Ganges; together with any
correspondence that may have taken place upon the sub-
ject between the home authorities and the cholera com-
mission
Sir C. WOOD replied that the report had not been re-
ceived by his department.
SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND).
Mr. HENLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, or the Lord Advocate, whether the Govern-
ment had under consideration the steps to be taken with
reference to the proceedings of the Commissioners of Salmon
Fisheries (Scotland), which had occasioned complaints of
bye laws having been framed, and the approval of the Sec-
retary of State obtained by surprise and mistake; and whe-
ther it was intended to introduce any bill to amend the act
of last session as to salmon fisheries (Scotland), scl, as to
define the course of proceedings before the Commissioners,
and to prevent any interference in matters which were the
subject of litigation in the established legal tribunals ?
Sir G. GREY replied that according to the act of Par-
liament he, as Secretary of State for the Home Department,
had confirmed the bye-laws submitted to him, with respect
to which no complaints had reached him. Those to which
objections had been made should receive his further consi-
deration. The Lord Advocate would reply, on a future
evening, to the other question.
BRAZIL.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE rose to call the attention of
the house to the papers and correspondence laid upon the
table with reference to Brazil, and to move the following
resolution :—" That this house has learned with regret
the interruption of amicable relations between this
country and Brazil ; and this house expresses the
desire that her Majesty's Government may take measures
to restore a cordial understanding between the two coun-
tries as may be consistent with the character and honour
of this country, having at the same time a just regard to the
dignity and honour of a friendly and independent power."
He entered at some length into a defence of the people
e
Brazil, and especially of Rio Grande, who, in consequence
of the wreck of the Prince of Wales, had been greatly
maligned.
The motion having been seconded,
Mr. COLLIER said, when h

man, on the motion that the house go into supply, brought
form.
forward the question in another lf the object of the
member's resolution was intended to evoke a vote of
censh°n• ure on her Majesty's Government, he (Mr. Collier)
meant to say it was not deserved ; and, if it was not intended
in that spirit, then he saw no reason why the house should
agree to it. He should now state to the house the princi-
ples of international law, as laid down by Vattel, who lays
it down that if injury and injustice be done to the people of
one nation by the subjects of another, and if the injured
party fail to obtain justice from the Government of the ag-
gressors, then the Government of those subjects who have
have been done injustice to are justified in demanding jus.
