of generals appointed to command were to be agewed
there would he an end to all discipline. He was sure
there was not one of their lordships who had not the
same fee!ing on the subject as Lord Panmure, and it
was the duty of her Majesty's Government, by the strong.
est means in their power, and especial), by giving no em-
ployMent to a man who had been guilty of conduct this
'descriptioreto discourage such discussions. B.e concurred in
the opinion that there *as nothing in the address which
called for opposition from any one of their lordships, and
that being the case he did not intend to anticipate dis-
otnieions which would take place hereafter, when they
were more fully in possession of the information which
they required on certain topics than they were at pre-
sent. Bat he would take that opportunity of pointing
out to their lordships and her Majesty's Government that
there were some topics in the speech delivered by the
commissioners which would require very speedily to be
brought under their lordshipa' notice, and upon which,
therefore, it wan desirable teat they should have infor-
mation with the leant possible delay. Among other
topics, sine of the first to which their-attention should be
called was the Pereian war. He begged to remind the it
lordships that that e war had been begun and con-
chided without Any formal communication with per-
'lament of the grounds on which it was commenced.
or of the means which -work teken by Jaer Majesty's
Government to avert the necessary of the war. Upon
these points he thought it absolutely necessary that
they should be fully informed. In the last session of Par-
lialient her Majesty's Government declined to produce
any papers relating to this war—in the first place be-
cause negotiations were pending in Paris, and subse-
quently because any discussion might have a prejudicial
effect on the ratification of the treaty. For his own part
he thought Parliament was somewhat easily satisfied in
abstaining on these grounds from pressing on a discus-
sion. But even admitting that it was light not to ask for
an earlier production of the papers, those reasons no
longer existed. He knew it was the usual practice that
the treaty should not be laid on the table before it was
ratified, but there was no reason why the correspondence
should not be immediately laid on the table of the
house. At all events, no discussion in that house could
have the slightest effect on the ratification of the treaty.
He trusted, therefore, that these papers would be pro-
duced without delay. He thought, also, they were enti-
tled to ask for some further information with regard to
China. They ought to know more distinctly than they
knew at present what were the objects of the war on
which they were entering, mad what were the demands
Which were to be made on the Chinese authorities, which
were to be supported by the maintenance of a very large
force. Ou that subject they bad at present nothing but
the most vague statements. They bad vague declare-
tioes of the increased facilities of trade which were to be
required, and the placing of our relations with China in a
more satisfeetery state ; but in what respect those rela-
tions were to be pisced in a more satisfactory state and
what were the additional facilities to be obtained for trade
they were in ignorance. On both points he thought some
further information was required. He thought so more
especially because he could not help being alarmed
by expressions which had been used in various quar-
ters, and which had been repeated is that house that
eight by the noble lord who seconded the address,
that the great empire of China must I;e:further opened
up, and that we must demand greater facilities for trade
with that country. He believed that we had all the
facilities of trestle to which' we were entitled by treaty,
and that, in point of fact, much more than we had
a right to claim by treaty! had been conceded, lie was
riot aware that because we had a quarrel with China we
were entitled to say to them that they must give us ,
greater facllities for trade. He had always been under the
impression that nations were at liberty to grant or with-
boll faciiitiee for trade with other nations entirely as it
seemed to them to coincide with their own interests. He
never heard, for instance, that it was a legitimate cause
of quarrel with France that she imposed at one time a
highly restrictive tariff, which prevented a great trade
being carried on with this country. And so with Naples
and Russia, and various European countries. We knew
perfectly well that our trade bad been restricted with
those nations in consequence of their high tariffs. He
believed the Chinese had set an example to many civi-
lised nations which they might follow with advantage,
with regard to the facilities they, bad given to trade.
There had been fewer, onerous duties imposed on the
commodities of other nations, fewer difficulties thrown
in the way of trade by the Chinese than by most Euro-
-1 peen nations, and much less, be grieved to say, than by
' ourselves up to a comparatively recent period. He con-
sidered, therefore, that their lordships had a right to ex-
pect more information than they had yet received of the
objects of the expe Mien which had been sent to China.
And let him add that he concurred with the noble earl
tohpep os
mannerite in the
i a
whichfeelings
rm er
discussions
eth
which
.it
hadregatrd t
taken
e no
piece in their lordships' house on this subject had been
commented on in another place. They had a right to coni
plain that their motive on that occasion was imputed to
be to obtain office. However that might apply to others,
it had no application to himself. But he did not speak
alone for himself. He thought that house bad a right to
complain of this lowering of.the whole tone of pnblic dis-
sion, when improper motives were imputed to them. He
agreed with the noble earl opposite that those who were ,
lowered by these imputations were those who made them.
Those who made such degrading imputations on their ad-
versaries judged of their adversaries by what was in their
own minds, and they were unable to conceive that on
a great question of peace and war—a question on which
men believed that as Christians they were bound to ex-
press their reprobation of unprovoked and cruel hostili-
-1 ties which had been carried on against a nation totally
incapable of resisting our superior power—the house
should give a vote on a question of that kind without
being actuated. by such low and degrading motives.
(Hear, hear.) That was the view that he took on this
subject, and it seemed to him that heavy responsibility
was incurred by those who, not content with thus villi-
fying those who had voted against them on a question
of this kind, did all that lay in them to stir up vindictive
passions in the people of this country against the Chi-
nese. He bad seen with feelings which be would not trust
himself to describe the language used with regard to the
Chinese, language which no one with proper feelings
could have read without great pain. They had heard it
representedethat the atrocities committed by the Chinese
were the reasons that induced us to commence hostili-
ties ; and he had seen anonymous proclamationsewhich
the Chinese had no means of preventing or controlling,
represented as the acts of the Chinese Government. If
it were true that a wholesale attempt bad been made by
the Chinese to destroy the Europeans by ,poison, such a
!crime was horrible to contemplate and greatly to be con•-
demnal ; but he thought that the slaughter ©f unoffend-
lug Chinese who were not connected with the war was
equally to be condemned. The greater those atrocities,
the greater in his opinion was the responsibility of those
who began this fearful contest. That responsibility
rested not so much with the Chinese as with those who
began the contest. And that was true of every war.
When it was once begun, when men's angry passions were
roused, great cruelties were often committed. But was it
becoming in them, as Christians, because the Chinese had
under great provocation been guilty of acts of this kind,
that they were to be held up as a nation to whom indiscri-
minate slaughter and destruction were to boapplied? Other
nations when they hied been attacked had been guilty of
crimes hardly less monstrous than those attributed to the
Chinese. They knew that when warfare was carried
on, not by disciplined troops, but by a population, against
an army which they had no means of resisting, great
cruelties were committed. For instance, in Spain the
insurgents were frequently guilty of great cruelty against
the French soldiers. But it was always held that this
was no reason why the whole nation should be held up
to reprobation. The same character applied with still
greater force to barbarous nations who knew nothing of
civilised notions of the mode of conducting war, and

further than he intended. All he intended to say at pre-
' Tent was, that he thought it absolutely necessary they
should have clearer information than had been given to
them as to the objects of this war. (Hear, hear.)

1 he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
seouenees resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and prematute decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of dis ase known to modern pathologists. its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their phys.cel condition, end who are conscious of having hezarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

ASSAULTS ON WOMEN.
Mr. DILWYN gave notice that he should on an early
day move for the repeal of the present act relative to ag-
2ravated assaults on women and children, with a view
to its amendment.
THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
Mr. HEADLAM gave notice that he should, on
Tuesday next, ask leave to introduce a bill to amend
[ho medical profession.

The Earl of ALBENI..9.RLE said there was an omis-
sion in the Speech which he hoped her Majesty's Minis
t,rs would rectify. He did not hear the words " Parlia-
mentary reform" in it. He had heard that in another
place such an expectation had Feel) held out of a good
measure of Parliam.entaryrietfoirum
that
sawt ohooludsse. atisfily:h
wag
who were most ar xtoui for
aware that it was a subject which one ought in that
house to mention with " bated breath and whispered
humbleness ;" and he hoped that the measure, whatever
it might be, would be sent np t ) that house with so large
a msjcrity that they should have great pleasure in giving
it their sanction. It was about a quarter of a century
since they had had any organic change—(a laugh)—as
regarded the c)mposition of the Lower House Of Parlia-
ment. In that period great changes had taken place.
A network of railways had been spread over the coun-
try, which bed increased the power of internal communi-
cation to an extraordinary extent ; in that period also
the discovery of gold in Australia and California had
taken place, whcb had given a greet, stimulus to the
industry of every civilised nation. The population of
this country had increased from 13,000,000 to 19,000,000,
and the trade of the country had been still more
largely increased. He thought, therefore, that there
should be an evensive measure of reform, and he should
be all the better pleased with it if there was a protection
to the voter. He thought the question of reform might
be left to the noble viscount at the bead of the Govern-
ment and that body of tee Legislature that had been
called under his special auspices. He hoped that some
of the 173 young men in tkat house would recruit the
small body of Indian reformers, a suLject which he should
bring forward during the session. He should look with
anxiety to the announcement of the ratification of the
treaty with Persia, which be did not think would be
satisfactory, because be believed it authorised intsrmed-
dling with the internal affairs of a barbarous country. He
