Lord PALMERSTON replied that he could not say that
the communications with Prince William had been quite
brought to a conclusion, but he had the best reason to be-
lieve that the conclusion of the negotiations wonld prove
satisfactory by his aueptance of the throne. (Hear, hear.)
The other part of the question related to a pecuniary ar-
rangement, a matter of detail, and at the present moment
he could not say what might be done in that respect.

the pas.rengers landing from them.
Mr_ M. GIBSUN replied that the correspondence was
nearly ready and would be shortly produced. The piles
had been driven, red a new strue, ure would be constitute('
for the one that had been abanzoned.

SEIZURE OF BRITISH SHIPS BY FEDERAL
eIiUISERS.
Mr. ROEBUCK re e to ask the question of which he
had given the uob.e lord at the heed of the Government
notice. Natters were going on in the Wes: Indian waterer
materially affec ing British trade. (Hear, hear) British
ships going limn one neutral port to another had been
seized by an admiral of the United States. (Hear, hear.)
He confessed that a.l his high aed arden, hopes that men
could govern themselves had been altogether negetived by
recent events in the disunited States. That great export
meat was at an end—namely,
that nun, under the most
,avourable circumstances, were not equal to govern
themselves. (Hear, hear.) At first he had been
in favour of the North, but their whole conduct
since the rut._ ture testifiect not only that they were unfit to
govern themselves, but were not fit for a place as a nation
in the civilised world.
(Cheers.) Ile knew there were
degenerate Englishmen who took the part of the North
against their OWI4 country, and when the United States could
be contrasted advantageously with this country, never lost
ny opportunity of doing so, King Cotton bad threatened,
but he had tailed to make much impression. In the case of
the Trent the United States truckled. The papers in the
ship latety seized h-id been inspected by an hon. gentleman,
one of the members for the City, and he reported them quite
harmless, yet it was seized by
an American man-of-war
and taken into an American port. Yet the American
minister here had
given a permit to a ship to carry out
arms and ammunition to Mexico to be used against their
ally of France. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Adams ap-
peared to be the minister of commerce in England.
The noble lord had ever shown
an anxious desire to up-
hold the honour of England. Now, had the Government
come to any determination with respect to the conduct
of Admiral Wilkes. Ile knew the consequences of
such an act. It might lead to war, (Hear, hear.) He
stood there to speak for the people of England, and he
knew they were prepared for war with the United States.
(Cries of " No, no.") He trusted the Government -would
chastise the insolence of this upstart race. (Hear, hear.)
Lora PALMERSTON quite agreed with his hon. and
learned friend that the matters referred to in his question
were of the very gravest importance. (Hear, hear.)
All, however, he could say was that the subject
was receiving due consideration on the part of her Majesty's
Government; but they were not at present prepared to
state what had been the result of their deliberations.
(Hear, hear.)

ALKALI WORKS REGULATION BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
The Earl of DERBY thought the time fixed for the bill
coming into operation thould be fixed at an earlier date
than January 24. He thought it might very well be made
effective in September or Oct.,ber.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he should not
object to the suggestion ou the noble earl in cases where the
owners of works had already constructed condensing appa-
r!aus, but where that was not the case, it would take some
time to eff:ct tho necessary improvements, and, therefore,
that was the reason for fixing the time for the bill coming
into active operation in January, 1864.
TLe clause, having been amended, was agreed to.
On. clause 4, a di, cession arose as to whether it would be
possible by the bib as it at present stood to proceed against
the owner of works for a second conviction at the same
quarter sessions i.t which the first was tried and adjudicated
on.
