IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
BRAZIL.
The Duke of SOMERSET, on behalf of Earl Russell,
who was absent, asked the Earl of Malmesbury to postpone
his notice, and that he would call attention to this difficulty
on the ground that the matter was now referred to the King
of the Belgians, and a discussion would be unseemly and
hurtful while the arbitration was going on.
The Earl of MALMESBURY did not think that the
King of the Belgians, who was so impartial, would be likely
to be affected by anything that could be said in this house,
but, as the noble earl seemed to think the discussion might
be prejudicial to the public interests, be would postpone his
motion.

E GLISti POLICE SENT TO POLAND.
Mr. HENNESSY asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether, after the state of siege had been
proclaimed in Poland, the Russian Government applied to
her Majesty's Government for the service of two English
detectives for the instruction of the Russian police in Po-
land ; and whether, in compliance with that application,
her Majesty's Government sent Superintendent Walker and
Inspector Whicher, of the A division, to Warsaw during
the months of August and September, 1862 ?
Sir G. GREY replied, to the first question, that neither
before nor after the state of siege in Poland did the Russian
authorities apply to the English Government for the ser-
vice of any of the English police in connetion with that
insurrection. He had, however, to state, in reply.. to the
second question, that two officers of the metropolitan police
did go to Warsaw in August last, but under the following
circumstances. Few things had more attracted the atten-
tion of intelligent foreLners visit!ng this country than the
decorum that prevailed in our large cttie.s, and the protec-
tion afforded to life and property through the instrumen-
tality of a civil unarmed force—(hear, hear)—a force esta-
blished by law, under well considered rules, acting
on all occasions without the aid of the military, and
amenable to the tribunals, like other subjects of the
Crown, for any excess of duty. (Hear, hear.) The suc-
cess that had attended the establishment of the system
of police in this country had, from time to time, led
foreign countries to apply to the Government for particu.
lars as to the nature of the organisation and the details of
the management pursued. That information had invari-
ably been given without any reserve; for they had no
secrets in their police system, and many attempts had been
made, with more or less success, to introduce the system into
the capitals of other countries. In August last the Russian
Ambassador in this country sent a note to the Government
stating that the Duke Constantine, during more than one
visit to England, had been much struck with the ability of
the English police, and further that the duke having been
recently charged with the affairs of Poland, de-
sired to intro Ince that system there, and so put
an end to the martial law which had so long prevailed in
Poland, The letter asked the Government to permit a
persevering and intelligent officer of police to go to Warsaw,
in order, if possible, to explain the nature of the English
police system, so that the desire of the Grand Duke might
be carried out. (He (Sir G. Grey) believed he only expressed
the general fact of the house, when he said if the English
system could be carried out in Poland, one of the greatest
boons would be conferred upon the people. (Hear, hear.)
With the consent of the commissioners of Police he sent
two officers to Warsaw—it not being usual for a single
officer to be sent on such missions—for the sole purpose of
fully informing the authoritiss of the system of police in
London, but most assuredly for no other purpose. They
returned shortly after, and he could only regret that their
police system could not be assimilated to the state of
things existing in Poland. (Hear, hear,)
Mr. AYRTON inquired whether the two police officers
were sent to Warsaw before or after the insurrection ?
Sir G. GREY replied that they were sent long before the
recent events. (Hear, hear.) The letter of application
was dated in July, and the officers went on the 6th of
August.
Mr. HENNESSY asked if the right hon. baronet would
have any objection to lay on the table of the house the
communication of the Russian Ambassadors ? (Hear.;
He should also like to ask whether two letters had not re-
cently been received by the Government from the British
Consul at Warsaw, setting forth that the Russian police
had committed very great atrocities on the people?
Sir G. GREY replied that the letter from the Russian
ambassador was marked private, and he would not like to
produce it without his permission. Letters had been re-
ceived by the Government giving details of the recent in-
surrection.
In reply to Mr. H. VERNER,
Sir U. GREY replied that no written insructions had
been given to the officers; they went simply for the put.,
I pose he had explained.

REGISTRATION OF INSURANCES BILL.

In reply to Sir G. GROGAN,
Sir R. PEEL said he had consented to postpoue this
bill to Monday net.

THE LICENSING ACT.
In answer to Mr. NORRI,
The CHLNCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that the Government intended at the most convenient
moment to introduce a bill to abolish the inequality in
licences.
