IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woo'-
sack at 5 o'clock.

THE MEETING OF CONSERVATIVES.

The Earl of DERBY said he wished t) correct a mis-
representation of a portion of the public press. He had
laid it down as a rule during.bis political life never to
notice any mis-statement regarding him that appeared
in the public journali. If he had now departed from
that rule it was not so much to set himself right with
the public, but to prevent injustice being done to others.
A report had surreptitiemety been mate of a meeting
that bad been held on Friday lan. It was so far true
that a meeting had been held on that day, but not at his
house. The statement as to what took place at that
meeting was, generally speaking, most incorrect. He
was.repcited to have said the reverse in many instances
of what he.actually.did, and in other points his meaning
was entirely misconstrued. He was at a loss to know
who it was that could have furnished the report, and
supposed it was written by some one who was present,
but who had given a grossly inaccurate account of the
proceeding at the meeting. He made this explanation
in order that it should not be supposed that by his
silence he assented to the statements contained in the
report to which he had alluded.

CHINA.
Earl GREY presented a petition against the
continuance of the war with China. The noble earl
said he begged to• a-k her Majesty's Government
the questions of which be had given notice to the noble
earl the Lord President of the Counc 1. Great anxiety
existed with re-pect to the news arriving from China.
He wiabta to know whether the Government had re-
ceived any information, affording any prospect of an
early termination of the war in China; whether it was
still carrried on for the purpose of obtaining the free en-
trance of the British into the city of Canto-a, or for any
other object,; and illeCy, whether any reinforcements
had been sent to China?

Earl GRANVILLE said the last intelligeuee from
Canton contained no account of any further operations
having been taken there, ixiept those necessary for self-
defence. The Chinese had taken the most hostile steps at
Hong Kong, and had issued proclamations offering re-
wards fur incendiarisrns and assassinations. Under such
circunietances there did not appear to be any
prospect of a speedy tehninatiou of the presei.t
war. There WaR, however, no interruption in
our commercial relations. It was impossible for any
change to take place in the prlicy at present pursued
there, for if so it would have the appearance of receding
whicia would lead to tho most disastrous results in
Canton and, in other parts of the empire, as the lives
and property of the British subjects, as well as
of other Caristians, depended upon toe determined
position of our forces in China. With respect to the
Tiestion whether any reinforcements had been sent to
garrison Hong he had to inform the noble earl
that one, rf.:imelit had been sent there from India about
three weeks ago.
Their lordships then adjourned.
