CHARTIST CONSISTENCY.

Mr. DIXON proposed a motion to the effect that the
delegates should pursue one and the same kind of policy
at meetings and other places, in accordance with resolu-
tions which might be come to by the Convention, and
nPt act in opposition to each other. He believed that
their procession would not have been interfered with on
Monday if the rabid nonsense had not been circulated
which some of the delegates had thought proper to utter
during the last week.—(Hear.)
The motion, at the suggestion of several delegates,
was, however, withdrawn.

THE MIDDLE CLASSES.
Mr. LEACH suggested that the Convention should pass
a resolution disapproving of any resolutions condemna-
tory of the middle classes as a body, and stating that
they considered it the duty of the Convention to con-
ciliate, as far as possible, all classes, and to induce them
to support the measures which the Convention had been
called to forward.—(Cheers.)
After some discussion, considerationtuhnetilfutrot.hmerorro4.. of
the motion s was

On the motion of Mr. CLARKE, a committee WWI ap-
pointed to draw up an address to the country.
The Convention then adjourned.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

TUESDAY EVENING.
Her Majesty daily takes the air through the grounds
at Osborne, in a wheel-chair, attended by the royal
children.

We regret to state that Mr. G. Anson was taken
seriously ill yesterday; the Fairy yacht was sent across
with an express for Dr. Ferguson, who arrived from
town in the night. Drs. lloffmeister and Cass were also
in attendance—the latter remained at the Palace all
night. Mr. Anson, we are happy to say, is a little
better to-day.
The Herman, New York steam-packet, arrived at
4.20.; her mails, &c., were forwarded to Southampton
by the Ruby steamer, which had been waiting for them
in our roads since last Monday week.
The Ocean steamer proceeded on for Bremen; she is a
much better looking ship than the Washington, but the
shortness of her musts prevents her appearing to ad-
vantage.

" GOD SAYE TUE QUEEN."—After the perform-
ance of " I Due Foscari," at her Majesty's Theatre last
night, " God save the Queen" was sung by the whole
strength of the establishment. The first and last verses
were well given, the latter by Mdlle. Cruvelli, who was
encored. On Saturday a similar display of loyalty was
made, at the call of the audience, at the Royal Italian
Opera, Covent-garden; and on Monday night a body of
6 pceinl constables, having finished their duties for the
day, entered the Strand Theatre, and called for the na-
tional anthem, which was given by the entire strength
of the miniature operatic company of that establishment
with very good effect. Not content with this, a call was
afterwards made for " three cheers for the Queen,"
which was given with enthusiastic heartiness and unan-

sack at Five o'clock.

Lord ACHESON, who was introduced to the House for
be first time by Lord. Milford and Lord Sudeley,took
be oaths and his seat.
ODD FELLOWS' SOCIETIES.
Lord BEAUMONT presented petitions from several
Odd Fellows' ;lodges, praying that they should be en-
titled to the same legal privileges as other benefit
societies.
The Duke of BEAUFORT and Lord LITTELTON pre-
sented similar petitions.
ELECTION RECOGNIZANCES BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL presented petitions against the
Election Recognizances Bill.
Lord MONTEAGLE requested their Lordships to
keep their minds perfectly free from any bias with re-
spect to the meats of this Bill, which might be pro-
duced by the address of his Noble Friend, as he himself
would be obliged to support the petilion which had been
entrusted to him to present to the House.
DESTITUTE FOREIGNERS.

The Duke of BEAUFORT had received information
that destitute foreigners had arrived in this country in
considerable numbers from Italy, Germany, and the
other states in which changes had been lately made; and
be wished to know whether any changes had been made
in the alien laws, by which the conduct of these
foreigners may be regulated in accordance with the pro-
visions of British law?
Lord LANSDOWNE said that in answer to the ques-
tion of the Noble Lord, it would be his duty to place on
the table of the House that night, if their Lordships
would allow him to do so, a Bill for the purpose of meet-
ing and obviating the objections of the Noble Lord.
Iler Majesty's Government were aware many foreigners
were in the habit of asking to:partake of the:secunty of
this country for the ostensible purpose of having the
kuarantee of the security of this country, but in reality
that they might be empowered to aid in the disaffections
that unfortunately prevailed in one portion of this
)untry. He was aware that not less than 40,000 or
.50,000 persons were prepared to aid these disaffections,
and he would therefore ask their Lordships to allow the
Lill to be introduced for the first time this evening, and
to be taken on its further progress on Thursday next.
Lord MALMESBCRY quoted from the speech of
llr. Julian Harney, to show that there were one
hundred thousand who were ready to march with the
Chartists; but he (Lord Malmesbury) believed that there
were very many foreigners who were anxious for the
protection of foreigners, and he would quote two, namely.
Prince Louis Napoleon and M. Gaudin, who were
desirous of preserving the peace of this country.
SARDINIA.

Lord BROUGHAM, in moving for correspond
ence between the British Minister at Turin and
the Government of Sardinia, said that he hoped
that the present unsettled state of Europe would
never recur again in his experience. The peace,
o' the continent and of Europe was exposed to perils
which had not disturbed their peace during moreh e than a
s
quarter of a century, and from nowhere did expect
greater perils than that Court to which he referred
iiithe notice now before the House. The treaty of
Vienna had granted Genoa to the kingdom of Sardinia
—she, one of the great republics of the world,ssihaardy
state
been
stripped of her power and annexed as a
sway of Charles
Albert. The Noble Lord deprecated the course pur•
sued by the King of Sardinia in holding out a
• of assistance to the Milanese, a promise
roue's°.
fully borne out—one of the few promises ever
f drilled by that admirable Monarch.--(L „h ter.)
lie questioned if a parallel could be found in history of
such bad faith being exhibited as had been exhibited by
the King of Sardinia. He never heard a more monstrous
doctrine than that which had been proclaimed by
the King of Sardinia—viz., that when the people
of a neighbouring sovereign, whose throne was
more ancient, and was confirmed by the same treaty as
that of Sardinia itself, chose to express discontent, the
sovereign of Sardinia was entitled to step in and appropri-
ate to himself that portion of the territory ofhi3neighbour
hich expressed discontent. Venice has declared her
independence, but it does not necessarily follow—he
eeula—he would predict that it would never recover
its liberty ; for liberty was one of those delicate
plants that had never yet flourished in a republic.
The Noble Lord then reviewed the past transactions of
Italy, and instanced the actions of Charles Albert's life in
1820, '2l, and '23, as affording no ground fur hope to the
Milanese, that in 1848 he would be more resolved than he
was in those years. He believed that if that monarch
believed that he could get the Genoese to preserve their
integrity when he himself was trying to subvert authority
in Milan and Northern Italy, then he (Lord Brougham)
thought he was much mistaken and he would venture to
prophecy, without much risk cf being held an untrue
seer, that the Genoese within nine months would de-
eland a separation from the thraldom of Sardinia.
Unhappily, revolutions were of almost daily occurrence
throughout Europe; and if the people of France, or a
small part of France, preferred self-government to any
other, that was no affair of ours ; but that advantage
should be taken of the state of affairs in France by the
King of Sardinia to invade the Austrian dominions, in
violation of the rights of nations, and of a specific corn
pact, was a matter that called for the serious attention
of the British Government and the British Parliament.
The Austrian Government had always been remarkable
for its mildness, and it had bestowed many blessings on
the Milanese, who he believed were most desirous of
continuing under a constitutional monarchy.—(Hear,
hear.) He must express his regret that the head of
the Christian Church of the Roman Catholic persuasion
hod been the very first mover in all the convulsions
which at present shook Italy and the northern states
of Europe, and which he greatly feared would shake
the peace of the world. The Pope was placed in a highly
responsible situation as the head of the Church of that
religion which of all others was the religion of peace ;
and before he entered such a field of action he ought to
have remembered the insurmountable difficulties in
which he had been pleased to place himself. It ap-
peared that he established a college of cardinals to sit
as another House of Legislature, and yet, appearing to
be acting upon the responsibility of advisers, he claimed
the privilege of infallibility. If he could by the aid
of inspiration overcome difficulties which appeared
almost insurmountable, well and good ; but he
(Lord Brougham) thought that the Sovereign
Pontiff would have acted more wisely if he ha,
six or seven months ago, taken and acted upon
the advice which was then offered to him.
The course he had pursued, however, aided Charles
Albert in his aggressive policy!. He (Lord Broug-
ham) had no doubt of the ability of our Minister at
Turin, and he believed that remonstrances were duly
made upon the occasion of an Austrian fort being cap-
tured by the Sardinian and Italian troops; but an event
of such importance, involving as it did the violation of a
treaty to which this country was a party, called for more
special notice. It was far, be it observed, from his wish
to interfere with the desire and the right of nations to
make reforms or to place themselves under a new go-
'vernment, but these results should not be sought by the
'violation of a solemn treaty. The Crowns of Great
Britain and Sardinia had long been hound together by
ties of faithful and international alliance, and Great
Britain could not therefore overlook this conduct of her
ally. The acts of
of Sardinianth Majesty not only in-
velved an infraction

a plain, but rough rebuke for their impertinence.—(Hear,

ing received them, the next best thing AL Lamartine
could have done was to have asked them, " Do you come
from the British embassy," and if they answered in the
"neeative, to say, " Good morning to you. I can only know
you through the British embassy; pray go back to Ire-
- land!" He did not blame M. Lamartine for the course

in being able to show them that there was not a shadow

circumstance occurred which had no doubt given rise
to the story. He was told that he should stop in order

a week, which were put into Louis Blanc's pocket to be
dispensed again according to his peculiar theory.
In the same way, it was said the Provisional
Government intended to act with all the other rail-
ways. They had, no doubt, a right to do all this, if
they pleased, and also, as it was rumoured they intended
to do, to seize the bank, and to issue a paper currency
to a very large amount. He only hoped that at the
meeting of the National Assembly they would open
their eyes to the necessity of taking such steps as to
prevent that mischief to which such experiments as
these were likely to lead.—(hear, hear.) He believed
that the certain result of such a Government would be
this—that they would be stricken down with imbecility,
and would become too weak to perform the ordinary
functions of a government. They might struggle on
for a time, until some military commander would arise
and destroy the republic, and perhaps plant iu its place
a military despotism, which was one of the worst de-
scription. At this moment he was of ,opinion that any
one general, with ten thousand men, marching
into Paris, would have the effect of at once
putting an end to the republic. No man
could doubt it. The Belgian Ambassador the other
day bad applied to M. Lamartine for protection ; the
latter said in reply, ho admitted the full right of the am-
bassador to such protection, but he bad not really three
men at his disposal. The people in Paris were as un-
easy as any persons could be at this state of things, but
they have made up their minds to the fact that this
experiment of a republic must be tried ; so that France
must remain a republic for some time, whether it be for
her advantage or not. When Louis XVIII. was re-
stored by the allied army, in 1815, commanded by his
Illustrious Friend the Gallant Duke now at their Lord-
ships' table, it was the second time he performed the
office for that Monarch; for he restored him first in
1814, when he was called " Louis Desit6." Instead of
that title, his Illustrious Friend, on restoring him in
1815, designated him " Louis I'lnevitable," as it ap-
peared absolutely inevitable that he should rule.
Having said so much of France, he wished he could
view what was passing in the north of Italy with
half as little dread. Ile regarded England as
absolutely and perpetually safe against any such
convulsions as they had reeently seen take place in other
countries. He knew upon what foundation the security
of this country rested. The constitution of this country
was safe in the affections of the people—affections which
they could only gain by constant good offices, and which
they could only keep by entire good faith—
Non arms neque thesauri regui prmsidia aunt, verum

artnel.
Such they would have all over the empire—such they
would have amongst the Orangemen of Ireland, and
even amongst the Catholics with the exception of a dis-
contented few. He felt that he should not be discharging
his duty if he did not allude to many of the unfounded
reports that were now in circulation. Some of theme
reports spoke of the danger which surrounded the
English residents in France, and the attempts which
were said to have been made to expel them. These
were all to his own knowledge utterly and absolutely
untrue. He should say that an Englishman was as sate
now in Paris as in any part of the kingdom. The Noble
and Learned Lord concluded by moving for copies or
extracts of the correspondence that had taken place be
tween the British Government and the Government of
Sardinia, haring relation to the recent events that had
takesi place in the north of Italy.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, who was scare ly
heard in the gallery, was understood to say that he ab-
stained from going into the details referred to by the
Noble and Learned Lord, or from giving any opinion as
to what the duty of the Government was under such cir-
cumstances. He was fully conscious of the falsehood of
many of the reports that had been put recently into air
culation. Even this day he saw a paragraph in the
public papers stating that his Noble and Learned Friend
had applied to the French Government to be naturalised
—(Laughter)—and that such an example was likely to
induce a great many other members of this House to
settle in France.—(Continued laughter.) The speech
which they had heard this night tram the Noble and
Learned Lord was, however, of itself sufficient to remove
all apprehensions of this sort from the minds of the
British public. He fully agreed with his Noble and
Learned Friend that the steps taken by the King of
Sardinia, in invading the Austrian dominions, were
contrary to the terms of the treaty. He could assure
the House that these measures of the King of Sardinia
had not been contemplated with indifference by the
British Government. He was not, however, prepared
,o pronounce an opinion in respect to the peculiar
circumstances which might have influenced that
country, with which we maintain relations of amity, or
to express himself in so unqualified a manner as the
Noble and Learned Lord had done, in respect to recent
events in that part of the world. Before those events
had taken place, their Minister at Turin was directed to
express the unfavourable opinion of this country to such
a proceeding, and our wish that the King of Sardinia
should observe a perfect neutrality. He was not pre-
pared to say that the British Government were called
upon to repel that intervention. Although the advice
given by the British Government to the King of Sar-
dinia was unsuccessful, he believed it was somewhat
effective in delaying that intervention to a later period
than it otherwise would have taken place. He should
have no objection to lay upon the table of the House
such copies or extracts from the correspondence, the
production of which would not have the effect of incon-
veniencing the public service.
PUBLIC BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT.

Lord STANLEY gate notice of his intention, on
Friday next, to call their Lordships' attention to the
mode in which public business was transacted in this
and the other House of Parliament, and he would beg
their Lordships' attendance on that occasion. He would
at the same time, lay upon the table a Bill upon the
subject.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 11.

PROTECTION OF THE CROWN AND GOVERN-
MENT BILL.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
On clause 2, which extended the operation of the Bill
to Ireland,
Mr. J. O'CONNELL rose to move that the Bill be
amended by striking the clause out of it altogether, and
also that portion of the preamble which related to it. He
believed there was no necessity for thi4 Bill in Ireland;
but if there was, it would be brought out on the trial that
would shortly take place in Ireland. If the Government
insisted that the clause should remain part of the Bill he
should divide the House against it.
Sir G. GREY did not see why that which was treason
in England should not be equally so in Ireland, and he
must, therefore, persevere in retaining this clause as part
of the Bill. _

Mr. F. O'CONNOR objected to the Bill, because ac-
cording to its provisions one witness could prove the
treason, whereas in England it required two.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that after the
passing of the Act it would require two witnesses to
prove the treason in Ireland the same as in this country.
After a few observations from Mr. HUMS and Mr.
JOHN O'CONNELL, clause 2 was ordered to stand part of
the Bill without a division. _

On clause 3, which takes away the punishment of
death for treason and substitutes that of transportation,
Sir G. GREY said that in this clause it had been
thought necessary to ask increased powers with
respect to those who made speeches calcu•
lated to endanger the Crown. He admitted
that this was a great alteration of the law, and he was
willing to be guided by the wishes of the House with
respect to the enactment. He, however, thought that
some provision was necessary in order to prevent and
Put a stop to speeches that were calculated to effect in
calculable mischief. He was willing to adopt the pro-
viso of the statute of Anne, but he could not consent to
take
away the provision that made the offence felony.
