gerald). He gave notice that he would petition. On the
30th of the same mcnth he (the Attorney•Ge►seral) was
served with a writ, which was issued from the office of
the attorney of the Hon. Member (Mr. Fitzgerald).
He (the Attorney-General) did not then draw
any inference from that fact, and he then
stated that he bad directed his attornies to examine
all the witnesses who were mentioned in the declara-
tion, and who were directly or:indirectly engaged in the
transaction. They werepared on oath, as he was to deny
the charge, and he did further state, as he believed,
to be the fact that the plaintiff or his attorney had not
examined one of those witnesses.—(Hear.)
VANCOUVER'S ISLAND.

In reply to a question from Mr. HUME,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that it was the inten-
tion of the Government to propose that certain conditions
should accompany the grant to the Hudson's Bay
Company, with the view of promoting colonization.
When all the papers on the subject were prepared, it
was the intention of his Noble Friend, the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, to lay them before the Privy
Council, when their charter would be taken into consi-
deration.

Mr. G. A. HAMILTON then rose to move, that an
humble address be presented to Her Majesty,
praying that Her Majesty will be graciously pleased
to direct, that such a modification of the
system of National Education in Ireland may
be made, as may remove the conscientious
objections which a very large proportion of the clergy
and laity of the Established Church entertain to that
system as at present carried into operation; or other-
wise, that means may be taken to enable those of the
clergy and laity of the Established Church who entertain
such conscientious objections, to extend the blessings
of Scriptural education in Ireland. Ho said it was
unnecessary to make any apology for submitting
the above motion to the House, because there
never was a period when education was more
appreciated, and the principles on which such a system
should be conducted more thoroughly understood than at
the present moment. He complained that the system of
toleration, carried so successfully is England, was not
applied in the same spirit, to the clergy and laity
of the Established Church of Ireland. In proof
of this he might quote the sentiments enunciated by the
Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell), the Right Hon. Baronet
the Member l'or Tarnworth, and Lord Morpeth, whose
Christian character endowed their opinion with consi-
derable weight.

FRA NKFORT.
M. D'ANDRIAN, Vice-President of the German Na-
tional Assembly, had left Frankfort for Paris and London
on an extraordinary mission. He is said to be the
bearer of dispatches announcing to the English and
French Cabinets the resolution of the German Central
Administration to offer its mediation, in conjunction
with England and France, for the adjustment of the
Austro-Italian difference. M. VANDRIAN was also
charged to notify to General CAVAIGNAC the official re-
cognition of the French Republic by the German
Government.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
Advices from Elsinore of the 15th state that on the
previous
day King OSCAR of Sweden and the Prussian
Major-Genera! VON I3ELow had arrived at Maims, and
had resumed the negotiations respecting the armistice
between Germany and Denmark. There is reason to ex-
pect that in the course of a fortnight or three
weeks the affair will be concluded. According to a
statement of a traveller, who left Copenhagen on the
morning of the 16th and Malma in the afternoon of the
same day, there was an impression at both places that
the armistiee was already definitive settled.
COPENHAGEN, Ann. 13.—0 n the 28th of this month
the sale of the definitively-condemned vessels and their
cargoes will commence. After which the respective
crews will be sent home. Several German ships which
were lying in the road here have been brought into
harbour.

There are rumours afloat here that Lord CowLEv's
propositions for the armistice have met a refusal at
Frankfort, and that communications of a very decisive
character have reached Melina von Zstad, in conse-
quence of which preparations are being made for the
shipment of the Swedish and Norwegian troops.
The Fadrelandst says, that a petition and declaration
has been sent from Alteu to the National Assembly at
Frankfort, signed by all the inhabitants of the island,
protesting against any interference of the Germans, and
stating their firm resolve to remain attached to Denmark.
The Danish head-quarters have been removed to Kief,
near Belding.
KIEL, AUGUST 17.—According to all appearances,
the !negotiations respecing the armistice are very near
a termination. The principal conditions are, the ab-
dication of the present Provisional Government, and.
the appointment of a new one by the King of DEN-
MARK, selected from a given number of Schleswig-Hol-
stein men, named as eligible by the Regent of the EMPIRE;
the withdrawal of the German troops, with the excep-
tion of 4,000 Prussians; the present Schleswig-Holstein
army (about 16,000 men) to remain under arms, and the
occupation of Alsen by the Danes with 3,000 troops.
It is further denied that the Assembly shall adjourn to
the 17th of September. The latter point is to be dis-
cussed in a private sitting this evening.
ALTONA, AUG. 17.—News from Kiel, of four o'clock
this afternoon, announces that although the debate on the
question of adjournment had not been decided, the majo-
rity of the members were in favour of R.—Hamburg
