GAME LAWS.

Mr. PAUL gave notice that on an early day he should
introduce a bill on this subject.
THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Lord PALMERSTON (who was much cheered on tak-
ing his seat) laid papers on the table relating to the marriage
of the Prince of Wales with the Princess of Denmark.
THE ADDRESS.

The SPEAKER having read the Queen's Speech,
Mr. CALTHORPE (who wore the insignia of a deputy
lieutenant) then rose to move that a gracious address be
presented to her Majesty in reply to the Speech delivered
this day by commission in the House of Lords. The mar-
riage of the Prince of Wales could not fail to give the ut-
most sati faction to all classes of her Majesty's subjects.
A marriage of mutual affection like this could hardly fail
to bring much happiness. The constitutional
form of Government which prevailed in this country
led other nations to look to us as an example of the best
kind of Governnment. This it was that had led to the
fifer of the Throne of Greece to Prince Alfred. Probably
when Greece had selected and obtained a constitutional
king that country would become happy and prosperous.
After the expression of feeling on the part of the lonian
Islands, no doubt the Government would deem it well to
cede these islands to Greece. (Hear, hear.) The unhappy
distress that had prevailed had been fully met and
assuaged by all classes of the people. (Hear, hear.)
It was a pleasing thing to know that a ship was on its way
to this country from America loaded with food for Lanca-
shire. (Cheers.) This testified unmistakably the good
feeling of the people ofAmerica towards this country, though
the press of the North tried hard to set the one people
against the other. That there should be a surplus during
such a lengthened period of distress—with half a million of
people out of work, and many;of them on the verge of star-
vation—testified that the monetary affairs of the country had
been well managed. He hoped a modification of the in-
come-tax would result from the surplus. (Hear, hear.) It
was satisfactory to find that the French treaty had worked
well ; and he had high hopes of the result of the new treaty
with Belgium. He feared that the proclamation of Mr.
Lincoln would result in much outrage upon the negroes
and not lead to the results professed. It was, indeed,
difficult not to entertain some feelings of contempt for the
Federal Government. Freedom of the press and of speech
had been sadly outraged. Corruption and extravagance
existed to a ruinous and shameful extent. At the outset of
the war General Scott had counselled a peaceful separation.
It was to be regretted that independent Americans had not
been found to endeavour to stem the torrent of popular
frenzy. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, the South had
shown great courage and excellent strategy, and managed
their affairs in a noble and excellent manner. (Cheers.)
Yet, though this country had paid £20,000,000 to abolish
slavery, we had driven our free trade notion so far that we
had virtually fostered the slave trade. For instance,
we admitted slave-grown sugar at the same rate
as free. (Opposition cheers.) It was not the fault of the
South that they had engaged in this unhappy war, which
could only have one result—complete and entire separation.
(Hear, hear.) The end, however, of the war would result,
he believed, in the thorough abolition of slavery, but. the
proclamation would assuredly not have the effect proposed
to be intended ; neither wasit heartfelt and honest, and the
Democrats, when they again came into power, would com-
pletely nullify its provisions.
Mr. BAZ LEY (who likewise wore the uniform of a de-
puty-lieutenant) rose to second the address. The hon.
member, who was much cheered, expressed his satisfaction
at the Speech from the Throne. He hoped the peace ad-
verted to would long continue. (Hear, hear.) The Royal
marriage promised to be not only a very happy
one, but would give the utmost satisfaction
to the country. The Prince was the worthy
son of a worthy sire. (Hear, hear.) In common with his
fellow-countrymen he deeply deplored the distress in Lan-
cashire, and he feared it would continue yet for some time
to come. But that distress was borne with the utmost
heroism. (Hear.) They had, too, now to look for other
markets for their goods, as one of the chief was closed to
them. He read some recent figures from Mr. M'Clure, the
Secretary to the Relief Fund, showing the recent amount
of relief awarded. Altogether, the enormous sum of
£760,696 had been spontaneously subscribed for the relief of
the distress in the cotton districts. (Hear, hear.) He
regretted that the distress was on the increase, as people
were now seeking relief who up to a recent period had been
able to maintain themselves. He trusted the Government
would do their best to get cotton from Australia and ilndia.
The fact that the probable supply of cotton would most
probably not enable the manufacturers to give more than a
quarter of a week's work, if that, this year, would, he hoped,
stimulate the Government to do their best to promote the
production of good cotton in our colonies and elsewhere.
(H. ar, hear.) The exports last year of cotton amounted to
£36,000,000, agst £56,000,000 in 1861, testifying how the
trade had fallen off. He congratulated the Government on
the recent commercial treaty with Belgium, and trusted the
principles on which it was based would be extended to other
countries. The French treaty, to some extent, compensated
for the loss of the American trade.. They were much indebted
to the hon. member for Rochdale (Mr. Cobden) for the care
with which that treaty was matured. (Hear, hear.) See-
ing that they were at peace with all the world, he hoped
the national expenditure would be reduced as much as possi-
ble. The surplus of the revenue would, he hoped, be applied
to the reduction of taxation on articles of general use. He
was not, too, without hope that the time was at hand when
there would be a large extension of the franchise, for it
was justified by the spread of education and the good de-
meanour of the people. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
Mr. DISRAELI said he was sure the house sympa-
thised entirely with that portion of the Royal Speech .n
which her Majesty alluded to the marriage of the heir
apparent. (Hear, hear.) There was a time when Royal
marriages puzzled politicians, but these times were long
past. In this city, where feelings of domestic affection
were much cherished, it was considered a happy omen that
the marriage was one of affection. He trusted the young
Prince would strive to emulate the life and virtues of his
deeply lamented father. The conduct of the people in the
distressed manufacturing districts was beyond all praise.
He wished that the Government could have stated
that there was some hope of the cessation of
hostilities in America; but evidently as yet no
such hope could be well entertained. The element of
the war had long been smouldering. The great accession
of population, and the admixture of foreign races, all indi-
cated the more than possibility that so large and hetero-
geneous a confederation would fall to pieces. When'the
war subsided America would be a N ery different America
to that of our fathers ; a host of different notions replete
with sharp diplomacy and most probably waring against
each other. The conduct of the Government with re-
spect to the war was right and proper; but he was sur-
prised to find in the autumn :that one of the body
(Mr. Gladstone) repaired to the chief seat of industry and
there formally declared that the Southern States ought to
be recognised. (Oh, oh, and hear, hear.) Probably
indiscreet, but only a fortnight ago the President Isvctifsg;
Board of Trade said the cause of the war was
oslavery,
Irene

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND.

►ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 3, Evening.

In consequence of the insurrection, it has been
resolved to increase the force of cavalry stationed
in the kingdom of Poland.

It is stated in official quarters that the regiments
which were to be transferred next spring to Poland
are about to be despatched for the present to

Wilna.

rwo regiments of Cossacks have set out to-day
for Poland, and will be followed next week by two
regiments of Uhlans and a battery of artillery.
February 4.

Aide-de-Camp Nostiz, with the force under hie
command, was attacked last Sunday night near
Biala by several bands of insurgents. The con•
flict lasted two hours, when the insurgents re-
treated to Janow, carrying with them 42 killed and
wcunded.

General Likhatsche, with a division of Hussars,
coming from Wilna, attacked a body of Polish in-
surgents, inflicting upon them a loss of 20 killed
and taking four prisoners.
Another insurgent band has crossed the river
Niemen, and appeared in the district of Troki.

WARSAW, Feb. 2, Evening (by Telegraph
from Breslau.)

The main body of the insurgents is said to be
stationed near Augustowo, and under the command
of Jeiinkiewiez, late a Colonel in the army of Gari-
baldi. A second division, commanded by Count
Iyskiewiez, is taking up positions near Rawa, on
the river Rawka, in the district of Warsaw. The
third division of the insurgents, commanded by
Frankowski, is posted in the district of Lublin.
The insurgents muster strong in the district of
Radomsk. The communication between these dis-
tricts is interrupted.

BERLIN, FEB. 4.

Letters received here from Warsaw announce
that the insurgents occupy and are fortifying Lypa,
on the Polish and Lithuanian frontier. They have
occupied the railway station at that town, and used
the materials of the workshops attached to the sta.
tion in constructing their fortifications.

Siege trains have been despatched against Lypa.
LEMBERG, Feb. 4.
The Grenadier Corps of Novogrod will be con-
veyed by railway through Prussia.
The communication between Wilna, Grodno, and
Warsaw is interrupted.

THORN, Feb. 4.

On Sunday evening 800 insurgents entered the
important manufacturing town of Lodz, in the pro-
vince of Masovie, and took from the branch esta-
blishment of the Bank 18,000 roubles, and from the
Post-office 31,000 roubles.

Tliey also ordered a conscription to recruit their
own forces.

Private property was respected.
All the public functionaries fled from the town.
POSEN, Feb. 4.

The journals of this city state that the conscripts
confined in the citadel of Warsaw refuse to take the
oath of allegiance.

A letter from Vienna, dated Jan. 31, says:—
Prince Gortschakoff accuses this Government of
having supplied the insurgents in Russian Poland
with arms, but, as Austria has no establishment like
Tula, she can hardly have rendered the same service
to the Poles that Russia has done to the disaffected
subjects of his Mjesty the Sultan. Not long ago
the Austrian War Department had on hand a large
number of good though somewhat old-fashioned
rifles and muskets, but all of them are now in the
hands of the belligerents in North America. As soon
as Lieut.-Gen. Count Mensdorff, the Stadtholder of
Galicia, heard of what was doing in the kingdom of
Poland, he applied to Count Degenfeld and M. von
Schmerling for instructions, and was told that un-
armed fugitives were to be allowed to cross the
frontier, and to reside in some town or village which
would be indicated by the Government. As has al-
ready been stated. many Russian subjects are now
in Galicia, but the exact number is unknown to the
Austrian authorities, as the fugitives crossed the
boundary line at different places. The Russo-Aus-
trian frontier, which extends from Myslowitz in
the west, to Dwonogrod in the east, cannot be much
less than 600 English miles in length. The Vistula
divides the western part of Galicia from Russian
Poland, and as it is now frozen over it is to be ex-
pected that the number of refugees will rapidly in-
crease. Some few persons have gone from Cracow to
Russiaa Poland, but in general the Galician Poles
display very little inclination to go to the assistance
of their oppressed brethren. Shortly before the rebel-
lion broke out the Russians in this city spoke much
of the enormous military force in the kingdom o
Poland, but now it appears that the army which.

Committee in Poland continue to issue proclama-
tions, which are signed " Leon Franchetti," but it is
supposed that this is merely a nom de guerre. A
guerilla war is now carried on in Poland,and many of
the insurgent bands are under the command of young
men who were educated in the military school at
Genoa.
