CHINA..

Lord J. RUSSELL inquired of the First Lord of the
Treasury, whether he had any objection to lay before
the house instructions given to Lord Elgin on his depar-
ture for China, and the terms which were offered and
rejected at Canton previously to the late bombardment.
Sir C. WOOD said it was unusual to communicate to
the house the instructions given to ministers, plenipo-
tentiaries, &c. No communications had been received
from China that could be laid on the table of the house.
In answer to a question from Lord J. IKANNERs,
Lard PALMERSTON said the Government had
received from Lord Elgin a copy of the communication
he addressed to Yeh, who had given an answer to it, but
there was not time to translate it to be sent home by
tke last mail, but its substance had been communicated
to the Government.
CORPORATE REFORM.

On the motion of Sir G. GREY, this bill was read a
second time on the understanding that it should be
referred to a Select Committee.

THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.,
Lord PALMERSTON then rose and said—l rise,
sir, in pursuance of the notice which had been given by
her Majesty's Government, to ask leave to introduce a
bill for transferring from the East India Company to
the Crown the government of her Majesty's East Indian
dominions. In making that proposal I feel myself bound
in the first place to say that I do not do it in any spirit
of hostility to the East India Company, or as meaning
thereby to impute any blame or censure upon the admi-
nistration of India under that corporation. I believe the
East India Company has done many good things in
India. I believe that its administration has been at-
tended with great advantage to the population under its
rule. And it is not on the ground of any delinquency
on the part of the Company, but on the ground of the
inconvenience and injurious character of the sxisting
arrangements, that I propose this measure to the house.
It is perhaps one of the most extraordinary facts in the
history of mankind that these British islands should have
Acquired Auch extenOiTO dominion in a remote part of the

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUY.

SlR,—The inclosed letter was sent to the Editor
of the Times, but has not appeared. I request the
favour of a place for it in the Sun. It is surely
degrading the thanks of Parliament, to obtain
them for any man, on the ground of services
rendered by another ; and most degrading when,
as in this case, they are made by implication,
to convey a slur upon the man who really per-
formed the service so lauded.

cient if any man utters strong opinions to justify
his incarceration, although there may be no overt
act to show that he had the slightest intention of car-
rying these views into execution. We are usually
tolerant of opinion in this country, but hencefor-

fugitive will be subjected, or at least liable, to
such persecution as to make Great Britain no
longer a haven of refuge, where he may earn a
humble but honest livelihood, despite the denun-

at Lucknow between the 25th of September, when Col.
Inglis was relieved by him and General Havelock, and
the 22d of November, when Sir Colin Campbell foioA

appointed.

RED RIVER SETTLEMENT.

On the motion for adjournment,
Mr. LABOUCHERE, in answer to Viscount BURY,
said he had received no official report of the meeting at
the Red River Settlement. He believed Mr. Ballantine,
the gentleman referred to, had been illegally arrested, but
a misapprehension existed with reference to his having
been hanged over to the Rifles to conduct him out of the

settlement. Mr. Ballantins had since appealed to the
Hudson's Bay Company i❑ this country.

HUDSON'S BAY.

In answer to a quest ion from Mr. ROEBUCK,
Mr. LABOUCHERE said that it was the intention
of her Majesty's Government to take possession of the
Hudson's Bay Company's territories, but they were
%Ming to renew the license to the Company under
certain conditions, giving the Government exclusive
power of colonization, &c. The question of boundary
between Canada and Rupert's Land were to be sub-
jected to a discussion of the Committee of Privy
Council by mutual consent.

BERLIN, JUNE 21.

The King leaves for Tejernsee on the 24th.

has been named grandee of Portugal. The ac-
counts of the corn crops in Silesia and the Rhenish
province are rot satisfactory. The drought is
felt very severely in those countries.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY.

By Imperial decree, M. Fould, Minister of State,
has been charged with the administration of the
department of Finance during the temporary ab-
sence of M. Movie.

The organisation of Algeria and the appoint-
ment of Prince Napoleon as Imperial Lieutenant
are once more on the tapir, and this time, we are
toll, with all bat the certainty of a definitive reso-
lution. After various plans were examined, half ap-
proved, or wholly rejected, the Emperor himself
drew up a project with the hand of a master.
It was submitted to Marshal Vaillant, who
declined giving an opinion, or intervening.
Marshal Randon will be invited for to
consider it, report thereon. Amongst the
most intimate friends of the Prince it is
stated that there is now very little doubt of his
accepting the command, and with unobjectionable
conditions. His Imperial Highness has, it appears,
wooed, and, still better, won the hand and doubt-
less the heart of & German Princess, probably some
distant relative d his mother, who was the sister of
the present King of Wurtemberg. The Prince's
marriage will take place before setting out, and the
Vice-Imperial Court of Algiers will be established
on a scale becoming a member of the Imperial
family of France.

TURKEY.

We have received Constantinople journals to the
12th, but their contents are not of great political
importance. They publish the memorandum of
Vely Pacha in answer to the complaints of the in-
habitants of Candia, the principal points of which
we have already given. The following letter from
the Turkish cap ta,l gives some information as to
the probable modus operandi in the Montenegro
affair :
London, England, 1858-06-23

SWEDEN.

The following letter from Stockholm enters into
some details on the subject of tk.e reciprocal rela-
tions of Sweden and Norway :
" The Prince Regent having closed at Christi-
ania the s,ssion of the Norwegian •Chambers, is
daily expected here. On- his arrival, the Provi-
sional Givernment, which now rules the kingdom,
conformably to our constitution, will lay down
the powers with which it has been temporarily
invested, and the Prince will resume the direc,ion
of public affairs. The parliamentary campaign
which has just ended, and which it was thought
would have rendered still closer the union exist-
ing between the two countries since 1815, has, in
reality, produced but very trifing results. All
the efforts attemved by King Oscar and the mem-
bers of his family to uaite together Sweden and
Norway under the same uatonal banner
have
ocly tended to diecluse in more lively and decided
colours the jeelcusy of the Norwegians towards
their Scandinavian brethren. The eminently de-
mocratic cons;ituriou of Norway places it in an in-
dependent situation as regards the monarch who
reigns at Stockholm. Nevertheless, since the union
cf the two nations the people of Norway have
never been able to throw a'Ade the fear of seeing
themselves sooner or later absorbed. by Sweden,
although up to this time no fact has occurred to
justify their apprehension. It 113,3 been necessary
from the very commencement of the union to
completely separate all the great adwiniet'ations,
such as the army, the fleet, and even the customs,
Loin those of Sweden, and. cases have presented
them elves in which the Swedish Government was
involved in complications feom which war might
have resulted, and in which it could not have se-
curely relief on the material and financial co-ope-
ration of Norway, so exclusively occupied were the

stWesmen who there exercised power with their
national feeling."
The Prince Royal arrived at Stockholm in the
evening of the 14th, and at once, as was expected,
dissolved the regency which had been instituted
to conduct affairs during his absence.

not special difficulties opposed that step. The
Turkish garrison sell holds possession of the ga'es
of the town, and M. Foublanque would be exposed
to fresh insults, were ha to pass through one of

posts shoul I be suppressed. But tbePacha declared
that he could not take this step without having
obtained the authorisation of the Porte, and that
he must consequently refer to Constantinople for
instructions."

MURDER AND SUICIDE IN PARIS.

A dreadful murder and suicide, cotnnaitted yes-
terday morning in the house No. 40, Rue Bourbon-
Villenuve, produced an immense sensation in the
whole of the Quartier 8-. Denis. It appears that
about two years ago a woman, aged 38, having
been left a widow with two little girls, formed the
acquaintaece of a widower aged 44, having two
sons. In the curse of time a marriage took place
between the man and woman, but the husband, a
land-measurer by occupation, turned out an idle,
drunken fellow, and the whole onus of keeping the
family devolved on the woman. The two sons of
the man did not live in the house, being bound out
to trades. Differences soon 'arose between the
husband and wife, and these quarrels at last be-
came asuhject of conversation in the neighbour-
hood. " reSterday abotit-
right, the two little girls, aged ten and eight.,
having gone to school, the husband and wife were
left together in the house. Aftcr a while, cries
were heard to proceed from their apartment, and
the wife of the concierge hurried up to see what
was the matter. She knocked at the door, and
heard the wife exclaim, " Come in ! come in 1"
but the do,r was locked, and the husband re-
fused to open it. The porter's wife then hur-
ried down stairs, and sent at once for the com-
missary of police. When that functionary arrived,
finding the door still closed, he had it forced open,
and to his horror found the corpse of the woman
lying just inside with the head nearly separated
from the trunk, and further on, the dead body
of the husband, pierced with five stabs in the
region of the heart. Near his right side was a
large kitchen knife, with which he had evidently
committed suicide. It is supposed that the
wretched man, after some dispu e with the wife,
drew a razor suddenly across her throat with such
free as to kill her instantaneously, and then, after
throwing the razor out of the window, killed him-
self. Just as the commissary of police was ascend-
ding the stairs, a razor st fined with blood fell iu
the street, near a passer-by. It is, therefore, in-
ferred that the murder and suicide must have taken
place within less than a minute of each other, and
iu the space of time which elapsed from the mo-
ment of the commissary entering the house to that
when the door wrs burst open. This dreadful
event caused crowds to congregate in the neigh-
bourhood during the whole day.

PIERS AND HARBOURS BILL

Mr. PAULL moved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which was to save the expense of procuring
private bills for the erection of piers and formation of
harbours by the substitNtion of s nne general authority
fur that purpose, viz., that when a scheme he.d received
the approbation of the Admiral y it should be considered
a pale bill, and passed as such.
Mr. S. WARREN seconded the motion.

Lord LOVAINE doubted if they were justified a!,
this period of the session in reading so important a bill
a second time, and he suggested that it 13 bould be re td
a second time anti wi hdrawn for the purpose of its
being introduced early next session for fur her considera-
tion.

After some remarks from Mr. M`Mahon, Mr. W. S.
Dndsay. and Mr. Ridl,y,
Mr. FILZ ROY objected to the principle of reading
bills a sec end time pro forma, and thereby pledge them-
selves to a certain course. As thtra was a committee
sit kg to consider the state of private business, he
thought this bill should stand over, and be suggested
the withe.rawal of the bill.

Ca'. WILSON PAT TEN cotsidered the bill, at this
time tle session, should be withdrawn. If it
had been earlier in the session, he shou!d have
voted for the second readir:g, in older that the subject
might be investigated. I% was one of great imp.AtaLce,
and he agreed with its principle.
Admiral WALCOI'T folly concurred in the principle
of the bill.

Idr. WALPOLE bad no objection to the house read-
ing the bill a second time pro forma, and he concurred
in the opinion that it had better be withdrawn.
Mr. PAULL stated his readiness to withdraw the
hill.

The motion for the withdrawal f the bi 1 was ot•jacted
to, and the huuee divided on the oziginal motion.
