ECCLESIASTICAL LAW REFORM.

Mr. COLLIER gave notice of his usual motion with
Utterance to e_lclesiastical law reform.
THE ADDRESS.

The 'Hon. G. BYNG said, in moving that an humble
address be presented to her Majesty for her gracious ad-
dress, begged he that the house would afford him that
consideration which his inexperience so much re-
quired. He, in common with the house and the
ountry, felt it his duty to offer to the gallant
rmy of this country the tribute of his respect and ad-
miration—a respect due not only to our own army, but
to those of our gallant allies, the Emperor of the French
and King of Sardinia. He could not but express his regret
that the gallant old man who had assumed the command
of the army when it left this country should not have
been spared to see the glorious completion of the under-
taking begun under his auspices. This war had not been
entered into with any feeling or desire of aggrandise.
meat. It was only after all attempts to settle the ques-
tion fey diplomacy that the last means had been adopted.

But he congratulated the house that there was a
prospect of all their
.cares and courage being re-
wardednegotiations how so fortunately begun.

of Russia. He congratulated the house an
in this war the allies had trusted not less to the opinion
of Europe than to the action of their fleets and armies.
He felt it diffieult to mention the several negotiations
which had been held, but he trusted the people
of this country would have confidence in the
good faith and judgment of her Majesty's Ministers in
the negotiations about to be opened
in the capital of our
august ally. It was a glorious subject of congratula-
tion that England should have united with her ancient
enemy to restore to Europe the prospect of a long and
happy peace. Should any attempt be made to deceive
the good faith of England and France on the
question of peace, he felt that any fresh appeal
to the gallant army and navy which had already
so distinguished itself would not be made in vain. He
heard with much joy two paragraphs in her Majesty's
Speech—one relating to the iotorms about to be intre.

with enema, The hon. gentleman then moved that an
bumble address be presented to her Majesty in reply to
her Majesty's gracious Speech. The hon. gentleman
then read the Address, which was but an echo of the
Speech.
Mr. BAXTER secondei the address. The internal
state of the country being so prosperous, and a change
for the better with our foreign relations having
taken place, rendered his task comparatively easy.
He contrasted the satisfactory state of the country on
the present occasion with that of former years, when
the Government and the people were in opposition
on some great question. Now the people's
minds were centred in the war, and
were ready to support the Government in carry-
ing it out with vigour, and until such time as they
could get a peace. He trusted that what had been
done by the allies would give an impulse to the
cause of freedom throughout the world, and teach
a lesson to presumptuous kings. (Cheers.) No
Englishman could but look with pride on the patient
fortitude, unanimity, and noble self sacrifices that had
characterised the nation in every step in this contest.
Ministers were entitled to the best thanks of the coun-
try for the manner in which they had conducted the
war since the trying and difficult juncture when
they undertook -to conduct the affairs of the
country, and he must especially notify the
vigilance and constancy the noble lord at the head of
affairs had displayed since the formation of the present
Government. He thought from all the circumstances that
had come to their notice that the Cabinet of St. Peters-
burg was sincerely anxious to make peace. Russia ap-
peared to him to lae now much in the position of France
after the campaign of 1693. (Hear.) There were two
things he thought would be required of the Government
—first, a resolution on their part to treat for peace only
so far as the details were concerned on the one hand,
but not to abate anything from the principles
that had been laid down as the bases of the negotiations,
and not to submit to any delay for the assembling or for
the carrying on the proceedings of the proposed con-
ference—(loud cheers)—and he hoped that the country
would not have a;-repetition at these negotiations of that
which occurred lastyear at Vienna, because he felt satisfied
the people did *either want nor wish it. (Cheers.) They
wanted no diplomatic subterfuges, no circumlocu-
tion, no reservation, but what they wanted was, that
Russia should be called upon, as soon as possible, to
accept the terms offered by saying aye or nay. (Cheers.)
The second thing the people were anxious about was,
that during these negotiations everything should be
done for carrying out successfully another campaign
should it be found necessary. After some further re-
marks the hon. gentleman concluded by seconding the
Address.

Mr. DISRAELI expressed his satisfaction at hear-
ing from the Throne that her Majesty had hopes of a
safe and honourable peace, and not the less so that the
original objects fur which they went to war should not
be lost sight of. (Hear.) He did not consider him-
self at liberty to attempt to criticise the conditions
alluded to, having no authentic information of what
they were. (Hear.) He expressed a hope that the
House of Commons would, under all the circumstances,
exercise that prudent but high-spirited reserve, that
whilst they shrunk from embarrassing a Ministry on
whom was about to devolve the fulfilment of such diffi-
cult negotiations, they would, however, watch with the
utmost vigilance (he would not say suspicion) all their
proceedings. Ile thought, however, some advantage
would be gained by the Parliament being in session.
They were told that war should be continued in order
to add lustre to the arms of England. He (Mr. Dis-
raeli) thought such an abstract principle of very ques-
Vonahle character, but he did not think the lustre
the of British arms had been dimmed. (Cheers.) To
lay down as a principle that great na%ions were not to
go to war without the-certainty of achieving what must
be called one of the decisive battles of the world, was to
entirely mistake the causes for which great nations
should go to war. He trusted the house and country
would require the most ample information on the
subject of the fall of Kars. Whether they were
to have peace or war, let them at least express their
admiration of heroes, although they had been unfor-
tunate. Let them express their sympathy for energy
that was thrown away, and for courage that had been
deserted.

"We are informed that a protest has been sent by the
British Government against the recognition of the New
Nicaraguan Government by the United States. This
morning the subject of Mr. Buchanan's withdrawal
from the English Court was again under con-
sideration. Where is that promptness so often
spoken of by General Pierce in his message ? A
show of it now would tell with effect. The probable
withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan from the Court of Eng-
land has produced in this city unusual excitement.
The President has had calls from almost every quarter
in relation to the subject. I have just learned that he
will submit the matter for advice to the Senate in Secret
Session."

On the 18th he says—
" The President has determined his reasons of the
withdrawal of our Minister, Mr. Buchanan, from the
Court of St. James's ; unfortunately that body has ad-
journed over until Monday."
Again—

" There is nothing at all new with regard to our rela-
tions with Great Britain. Lord Clarendon's latest
despatch was dated in November. It required an elabo-
rate answer, and Mr. Marcy has recently prepared one of
great length. From the nature of the circumstances no
further step can be taken by us until we hear from Great
Britain again. It is for her to make the next move.
England at first admitted her error in the matter of the
recruitment and promised both reform and reparation :
the reparation she never made."
The commercial accounts state that a more
cheerful tone pervaded the money-market.
In exchange bills on Loudon were quoted at
1071 to 1081 ; and on Paris 5.321 to 5.20.
In the produce market there was little change.
Freights were rather better.
Cotton was a shade firmer.
