MPERIAL PARLIAMENT

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships met to-day at Half-past Four o'clock.
ROYAL ASSENT.
The Royal Assent was given to•day by commission to
:he following public and private Bills:

Judges of Assize.
Pirates Head Money Repeal.
Greenwich Hospital Improvement.
Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway.
Firth and Clyde Navigation.
Guardian Fire and Lite Assurance.
South• Eastern Railway (Amendments of Acts, Power to
raise Additional Capital).
Railway Companies' Clearing.
Childwall Associative Waterworks.
London and Blackwall Railway.
Waterford and Limerick Railway.
New North Road (Amendment of the Act of last
Session)
Dumfries and Maxwell Town Waterworks.

Cobbe's Divorce.
The Lords Commissioners were Lord Langdale, the
Earl of Minto, and Earl Granville.
Their Lordships then resumed.
Lord STANLEY presented petitions against any com-
promise on the Ten Hours Bill as at present advised;
he saw no reason for the compromise, and ho should
support the amendment of his Noble Friend for restoring
the Ten Hours Bill; also a petition against beer shops;
and a petition from Preston, praying for an Act of in-
corporation.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE denied that the new Factory
Bill was intended to obviate a mere technical objection.
Its object was to make the Bill of 1847 workable.
Lord STAN LEY contended that it was intended merely
to remove a technical difficulty.
POST-OFFICE SUNDAY REGULATIONS.
The Earl of CHICHESTER presented a petition
against Post-office labour on Sunday.
Lord BROUGHAM had received several letters
this day from persons, complaining of the incon-
venience that had arisen from the abolition of Post-
office delivery on Sunday. In one of these cases
a great additional labour on the Sunday bad been
the consequence. At Castleton, in Derbyshire.
in consequence of the non-dispatch of letters between
three o'clock on Saturday and three o'clock on Monday.
a manufacturer, whose waggoner had been killed on
-Saturday, the owner of the waggon had been obliged to
dispatch a special messenger to Leeds, to Manchester,
and to various other places, so that instead of a letter
going to each of these places various men
were obliged to be dispatched to various places,
and in every part of the kingdom the last
Sunday had been compulsorily desecrated, because the
rost-office would not deliver letters on Sunday. All
merchants having bills owing at Liverpool were com-
pelled to dispatch 50 or 60 clerks on Sunday to Lon-
don to meet their bills on Monday, instead of three or
four Post-office clerks being employed on that day, and
thus the desecration of the Sabbath was forced on the
merchants and their clerks.
SHERIFF OF WESTMORLAND BILL. _ _ _

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third
reading of this Bill, which authorised her Majesty to
appoint the sheriff of Westmorland. The shreivalty
of Westmorland had been hereditary in the family of
the Earl of Thanet ; tbat earldom was now in abeyance,
and it was not probable that the hereditary shreivalty
would revive ; and, therefore, this Bill authorized her
Majesty to appoint the sheriffs.
Lord REDESDALE moved the insertion of certai❑
words, which would cave any contingent rights of par-
ties to the hereditary shreivalty.
Lord BROUGHAM. wished the Bill to pass, as it
went to remedy a great inconvenience.
Lord CAMPBELL supported the Bill. He con-
sidered it most inexpedient that the office of hereditary
sheriff should continue, and be denied that any injury
was done by this Act to any individual.
After a few words from Lord REDESDALE, the
Bill was read a third time and passed.
DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that
ho should move the suspension of the Standing Orders,
in order to expedite the progress of this Bill.
LEASEHOLD TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND)
BILL.

Lord BEAUMONT moved the committal of this BiE
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.

Mr. CUBITT presented a petition from Andover
against certain clauses in the Savings Bank Bill.

Hon. Members presented petitions to a similar effect.

Essex praying for the repeal of the malt-tux.
Mr. W. MILES presented a petition from a place in
Saint rsetshire in favour of the County Courts Bill.

bitants of Paddington in • favour of the Copyhold En-
franchisement Bill.

some trees had been cut down, and others planted in
Hyde-park by the directions of the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests. As respected the other quesuou,
he was not aware that the House was at all concerned

i❑ the cutting down of those trees.
Colonel SIBTHORY was sorry to say that the
answer he had got was a very unsatisfactory one.
COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.
Lord DUNCAN said he had felt it his duty to call at
the office of the Commissioners of Sewers in Greek-street,
Soho, where he found that no entry had been made
in the minute book of the Commissioners since the Bth
February last. He wished to ask the Noble Lord at the
head of the Commission why that was?
Lord EBRINGTON si4id he had ascertained that
though the formal minute book was entered up from
time to time, and only from time to time as best suited
the convenience of the office—(Laughter)—yet the mi
nutes of the Board were nevertheless kept, and be had
recently seen one in print, which was passed so recently
as the 4'h June instant.—(Laughter.)
Lord DUNCAN asked it the minutes were printed
lefore they were entered in the minute book?
Lord EBRINGTON said that was so with respect to
the minute book, which the Noble Lord had inspecied

at the office.
THE ORION STEAM-PACKET.
In answer to Mr. OS ALD,
The LORD ADVOCATE said that with respect to
the late accident to the Orion steam-packet, he had
Lund it necessary to institute a prosecution against the
master and second mate of that vessel.
THE POST-OFFICE.
Mr. HUME wished to know whether there was any
accuracy in the report, that it was not possible for her
Majesty's Government to do away with Posh office re-
gulations without an Act of Parliament?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he thought the question was founded on the suppo-
sition that the delivery of letters on Sunday was impe-

rative, which was not the case.
Mr. HILDYARD wished to know if Government de
cided on delivering letters on only three days in the
week, whether such a course would be legal ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined
to answer the question at present.
iFOREIGN POLICY.—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Mr. B. OSBORNE resumed the debate. He appre-
hended that no Hon. Gentleman who addressed himself
to a subject of this sort could undervalue the importance
of the discussion, or underrate the momentous nature of
the whole debate. In his opinion this was not a
discussion to be conducted on petty details—it was
not a question to be proved from blue books
by a discontented lawyer. It was not a question which
they were to look at with regard to the exorbitant de-
mands of Don Pacifico, or the unrequited injuries of Mr.
Finlay; these might be subjects fur a special pleader in
another place, but as he took it the House of Commons
Lad a different task to perform. The point for their
consideration was how far the international prin-
ciples of the foreign policy of the Govern-
ment of this country were to be regulated by justice,
and how far British subjects and British commerce were
to be protected by the Government of this country.
The real question at issue was not whether they were
called upon to approve the foreign pulley of her
Majesty's Government, or to maintain her Majesty's
Ministers in their present position. It was,
whether our foreign policy was or was not
to be regulated by the ideas of a foreign state.
They had to consider whether the Foreign Secretary was to
merge into a placid tool, u mere automaton, whose hands
were directed and moves made by the unseen and wily
influence of a foreign Minister.—(hear, hear.) It
was not that they had to give a vote of confidence
in her Majesty's Ministers, but they were called
upon to maintain the honour, and indepen-
dence, and glory of Great. Britain.—(Great cheering.)
Ho expressed his surprise that the question in its pre-
sent shape should have been allowed to be brought for-
ward by an independent Member of the House, for it
amounted, in fact, to a vote of want of confidence in the
Ministry. He had anticipated, when a decisive vote
was passed in the other House, that some Hun. Gentleman
connected with the party which had for years been
assiduously reviling and calumniating the Noble Lord
the Secretary for Foreign Affairs with all the ingenuity
of cunning, sharpened by the pertinacity of revenge,
weold have brought the subject before that House.—
(Cheers.) He did not think that that party would have
been content backbiting a Minister and the members
of a Government by a simple vote of censure
in another place.—(Cheers.) He did not expect that
that party would have paused on the• threshold of this
House, and like well-bred spaniels, barked at a Govern-
ment which they feared to bite.—(Laughter and cheers.)
He did expect that some one among that party would have
come boldly forward with a vote of censure, and arraigned
the Noble Lord at the head of Foreign Affairs before his
colleagues, and heard what he had to say in answer to
the charge.—(Cheers.) He certainly did not think
that, like the knights in the play, they would have
thought discretion the better part of valour—that they
would have been willing to wound, but afraid to strike.—
(Cheers and laughter.) He had listened with amuse-
ment to the sentiments uttered by one whom he sup-
posed one day would be a judge of this land.—( Hear.)
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite (Sir F.
Thesiger) told the House last night that for years he
had no confidence in the foreign policy of the Govern-
' ment; that he thought it was not only calculated to em-
broil us with foreign natione, but to peril the peace of
the world; but what was his conduct? For four years
he had been content to sit in the House without ever
once raising his voice against the policy—(Loud
cheers end laughter)—but now, at the eleventh
hour, he came forward and kicked up his heels
before the Noble Lord for Foreign Affairs.—
(Cheers and laughter.) But another Right Hoe.
lien-
tlemau (Sir James Graham), who spoke last night, said
he rose to address the House with great reluctance, but
neither iu the manner nor the matter of his speech could
he discover that he possessed any such reluctance.
He was justified in characterising his speech as
tinged by the mellow sneer of political scandal,
and he could not help being reminded, when that
Eight Honourable Gentleman professed friendship
for the Noble Lord, of those mighty animals of
the desert—those large serpents which covered their
victims with saliva before they made a meal of them.—
(Cheers.) He had always been in the habit of supposing
the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite as a sort of guardian
angel of the Ministry—as
"The sweet little cherub which sits up aloft,
To keep watch for the life of poor duet."
—(Laughter, in which Lord J. Russell heartily joined.)
Thu Right Lion. Baronet was present when the Hon.
Gentleman the Member for Stafford moved the impeach-
ment of the Minister ; indeed the Right Hon. Baronet
had taken a great part of his speech from the address of
that Hon. Member. The mantle of Mr. Urquhart
it would seem had fallen on the shoulders of the Right
Hon. Bart. the Member for Ripon.—(A laugh.) Well,
upon that occasion the Right Hon. Baronet was sneer-
ingly silent.—(Bear, hear.) But the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet dissents from the Spanish policy of the Noble Lord,
andhis conduct on that question was equslly extraordinary,
for in June, 1848, the Hon. Gentleman the Member for
Dorsetshire—who was an open and candid foe of the
Noble Lord, and did not support Ministers four years
and kick them in the fifth—(A laugh)—brought for-
ward a motion in that House deprecating the whole
course of our policy with regard to Spain, and
especially the interference which was alluded to last
night by the Right Hon. Baronet himself. Now, what
was the course the Right Hon. Baronet pursued on that
occasion? Why, the Right Hon. Baronet on that oc•
casion made a speech in
,which he damned
the Minister with faint praise, and allowed the
resolution to pass by Oiliest unnoticed.—(Hear, hear.)
Last night, however, the Right Hon. Baronet, passing
in review the policy of the whole world, said " What have
you done by your policy? Costa Cabral is embarrassed
in authority in Lisbon." Well, why did not the Right
Honourable: Boronet say that ,in 1848?—(Chests.)But again, in June, 1848, his Hon. Friend the Member
for Montrose brought the affairs of Portugal in a distinct
motion, depreciating our interference with the Govern-
ment of that country. He supported that motion, but
because he supported such a motion two years ago, was he
to come down now and rip up the past?—(Hear, hear.)
Ile had generally supported, though he was no slavish
admirer of the Noble Lord—indeed there were several
points in his policy which he disapproved of—but on
the whole he thought the Noble Lord a great, a
noble, a fine minister, and under all circumstances, an
honour to England.—(Cheers.) But what course did
the Right Hon. Baronet pursue on this last occasion ?
He well remembered that there were three night's debate,
but on the third night, when Dr. Bowring got up to speak,
the night was very hot, and the papers the Learned
Doctor brought with him were voluminous, and as he
spoke in the style adopted last night by the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman the Member for Abingdon,
the House was counted out.—(Roars of laughter.)
But a most remarkable debate ensued on the
fourth night, when the Right lion. Raronet the Member
for Ripton was accused of having connived at the
counting out of the House. He defended himself, and,
in a most remarkable speech, he said " So far trom my
wishing to shark the discussion on this question, I
conscientiously, thoroughly, and entirely approve of the
policy of the Government—(Cheers)—and had I been
present in my place I should have given my honest vote
in support of Ministers.—(Cheers.) And yet they found
the Right Hon. Bart. two years afterwards coming down
to the House and saying, "I always had a suspicion
of your policy. I think you are an excellent
good friend and a kind Christian, but you are a dan-
gerous Foreign Minister, and you must be got rid of."—
(" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He said nothing of the
candour of the Right Hun. Baronet in pursuing such a
course,—be left that to a discriminating public.—(Hear,
hear.) It might be probably thought fair Parliamentary
tactics, it might be thought a good Parliamentary move,
but he said this, that the public out of doors, who loved
fair play rather than faction,' and who were in-
different to the intrigue of political parties, would
eonsidsr this treatment of the Noble Lord on thi
occasion to be savouring rather of the Jesuitical et'usio
of Muscovitechicanery—(oll,ol3) rather than un honest,
open, candid conflict, between two English parties.—
(Hear.) But what he was really surprised a', was the fact
of the Right Hon. Baronet having quoted a pemphlet
written by the son-in-law of the Duc de Broglie with
regard to our Swiss intervention, a hich they all knew
contained not one but many inaccuracies.— (Hear, hear.)
He also west into the subject of the fleet at the Darde-
nelles being obliged to put into one of the bays of the
Archipelago from stress of weather, and quoted the dis-
patch of Prince Metternich. He (Mr. Osborne) was
content to leave those two facts to be answered by the
Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs;
but he (Mr. Osborne) said that if the
Liberal ratty in England was caught by stray
votes thrown out one night on the subject of the Irish
Church, and on another by the insidious lure of resting
the franchise on the broadest possible basis, if they were
content to submit to the tyrannical acts of the Despot of

Russia, in his oppressive demeanour towards the Hun-
garians, they were not deservinr, the name of the Libe-
ral party in that House.—(Hear, hear.) The Right
Hon. Baronet was like Colobs in search (,f a party.—
(Laughter.) He (Mr. Osborne) admired the great ta-
lents of the Right Hon. Baronet, but there was a screw
loose about him.—(A laugh.) He (Mr. Osborne) en-
tirely dissented from the policy of setting a Russian
puppy in the Levant. At the Congress of Verona, the
Right Honourable Gentleman would recollect, the
Greek deputies were not received, and Lord
Strangford, who was our Ambassador at Con
stantinople, was deputed to communicate to the Turk-
ish Government that the congress of Verona recognised
the Greek question as one belonging to the internal at-
fairs of the Porte, on which no foreign power ought
to intermeddle. What did all the foreign powers do
afterwards? Why, they violated that assurance
which was given by the Congress of Verona. The
Count Balgarry, speaking of Greece and the Greeks on
one occasion, said there was no security for liberal in-
stitutions, because the immorality and ignorance of the
Greeka were so great. That opinion respecting the
Greeks had also been corroborated by the French Ad-
miral. Such was the race for which we fancied we
were setting up a constitutional Government ; and what
was the natural consequence ? Why, that we were
now obliged to correct the spoiled child of our
adoption, to whom bad thus been given the character of
injured innocence, realising the character of Juvenal—

" logeniam velox, audacia perdita, ernao promptus."
Altering the quotation, he might say that in this case—
" Base was the Stute that paid."—(Laughter.)

He wanted to know what course any Hon. Member
would advise to be followed by a country whose subjects
were first tortured, then plundered, and all redress de-
niad or put off to that imaginary period called the Greek
kalendi. A miserable Hugh bad been raised :in
the other House by the mention of the inventors
nor would the Noble Lord have liked, if his own house
ha I been plundered and the inventory of his daughter's
effects brought out in the House of Commons. But what'
was the real case about Pacifico ; it had not been let out
yet, not oven in any blue book. He had purchased lands,
audhadonlyrecei
strong
partpayment of them; and it was not
until a few rather letters had been written from
other places that he received payment of the whole.
Much had been said about the house itself, and an argu-
ment raised about its structure—that it was a mud cabin—

when, la fair, it was one of those houses built after the Con
stantinoplo style, at which the head of the Regency had
lived, and at which Otho himself had not disdained to
dance at a ball, for which he was much bettor qualified
than reigning. Tho Hon. Gentleman opposite had
talked of seeking redress at the local tribunals, but did
they know that
lu,ng', they judges of those courts were rento-
ruble at the pleasure, and no later than 1847
the President of the
Areiopagus had been removed
by the King, though a gentleman of high un-
blemished character. The Honourable Gentleman
must have forgotten their Greek or be entirely
ignorant of the tireelc Constitution. With tegard to the
case of Mr. Finlay, ho was not going to drag the House
through blue books. It was sufficient to know that a
personhad been defrauded and plundered, and to
know that he was a British subject, to afford him
protection and to seek redress. No notice
had been taken on the other side of the House
of the numerous instances which had been mentioned
by the lion. and Learned Member for Bath of similar
claims made by •the French Government in Portugal
in 1831, at Naples in 1848. But what was
the reason of the unconquerable hostility shown
to L the Noble Lord? It was because his
name was identified with the responsible
Government and with the advance of liberal opinions
It he had allowed himself to be persuaded by Metter-
nich, or other foreign Ministers, to intercept the letters
of foreign subjeets, the case would have been different.
but the Noble Lord had not been guilty of opening let-
t rs; his was a greater crime, and the indictment against
him contained many coun's. He (Lord Palmerston)
had deferred Constitutional Government in Spain; he
bad been guilty of sympathising with Italian liberty; he
had dissented from Russian interference in Hungary—
(Cheers)—he had recognised the Republic of France.
—(Cheers.) These were great crimes in the eyes of
tyrants and despots, and of that of Archimede of politics
the Emperor of Russia, who sought to push back the
world from its present advanced state of pros-
perity, and civilization. If, however, the Noble
Lord was sacrificed to those alleged crimes, they might
depend upon it that they would light a flame in this
country.—(Cheers.) He solemnly believed that a con-
spiracy had been organized against the Noble Lord—
a conspiracy of kings with crowns and without crowns,
of ministers with places and without places—and he
would add without character.—(Hear, and cheers.) That
conspiracy was participated in not only in the saloons of
Paris but in the bureaux of London, not excluding those
ladies who cultivated a taste for politics and were
all things to all men .—( Hear, hear, and cheers.)
lie neither trusted or confided in the party of the Right
Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth.—(Hear, hear.)
lie understood that there were gentlemen on that side of
the House who intended to vote against the motion.
For his own part he could not see how any one could
look over the msp of Europe and doubt what course he
ought to pursue with respect to the vote. He
deprecated war as much as any man, but
there were many things much worse than war. He
looked upon the vote on this motion as ono on which the
interests of England wore at stake, and he supported the
motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield
with the greatest pride and pleasure.—(The Hon. and
Gallant Member then sat down amidst the most tremen-
dous cheering.)
Lord J. MANNERS then rose to oppose the motion,
and was

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

,4,mo.ag the numerous models and machinery for agri-
culab-aland horticultural purposes we observed a variety
of tile's for a better mode of growing strawberries.
When two of the tiles are placed together a circular
hole is left in the centre for the plant to pass through;
the flat part of the tile supports the fruit and leaves
and reta '.ns the heat many hours after the sun has set,
conseque fitly the fruit ripens very much sooner than
when grown in the ordinary manner. It also keeps the
fruit per; 'ectly dry and free from dirt. Some straw-
berries w ere exhibited by the inventor, Mr. Roberts, of
North Br ixton, at the late show of fruit at the Botanical
Society, wad were the only specimens of out-door growth
shown, wI.L ch shows the advantage of this plan of cul-
-1 tivation mit r the old. ;
