Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY raid he was
ic-

had stated that it was the practiceof the late government
to blame their successors for their own measures, and
there was no doubt that the present government had
'hown great facility in abandoning their own measures
:Ind adopting those of the late government. With regard
to the electric telegraph, what took place, so far as be re-
collec'ed, was this—He had referred to nog tiatioos
the Austrian government, and remarked that the noble
viscount (Lord Palmerston) had staled in the other
house a few weeks before that all negotiation had sea Fed
on the suhjsct. It would he most detrimental to the
°albite that the Austrian government should have the
control of the telegraph. He sail he hoped that an at-
tempt would be made to see whethtr the same ser-
vice could not be performed by English capital on more
advantageous or en equal term., especially as the Aus-

The Earl of MALMESBURY—The noble lord's re-
lative told him at the bar of the house that the Louie
lord was going to ask a qufstion. The noble bold birrisrif
seemed exceedingly uncertain whether he would bring
.12 the matter or not ; and after wandering about tee
house for two or three hours, said he would not bring it
on. As to the Sardinian Government, he had seen a
document signed "J. Wilson," the name of a minister
f the late Government.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY—The noble earl
referred to a question relative to the Cagliari, and not to
a queetion as to thn ,dpetrie telegraph, the minute as to
which could not be considered as the act of the late
Government,
