EXHIBITION OF 1351.
Lard CAMPBELL explained, in allusion to what fell
from the Noble Lord last night, that his Hon. Relative
had signed an address in favour of the Exhibition, with-
out any allusion to Hyde-park as the place in which it
was to be held. He lamented that the trees had been
cut down, and he did not I Ament it the less because a
new grove was to be planted in lieu of it.
The Earl of GRANVILLE could not draw back from
the statement he made yesterday, which was, that in the
month of April last, two months after Hyde-park had
been fixed upon as the site of the exposition, Mr.
Campbell ha-I signed an address stating that the pro-
posed exhibition would be most beneficial to the metro-
polis, particularly to the western part of it. He had
also to state that Mr. Juatice Cresswell had stated that
he thought that the exposition would be most incon-
venient to himself and his neighbours, but that he had
never given any opinion as to its legality.
Lord CAMPBELL said that his relative had signed
an address, in which no reference had been made to the
site. Mr. Justice Cresswell's opinion would be best
gathered from the petition to which he had attached his
signature.
The Earl of WICKLOW said that there was a locality
in the neighbourhood of the Regent's-park, near the
railway, admirably adapted as a site for the exhibition.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished to know
what understanding had been come to with Foreign
powers in the event of any malicious injury being done
to the property of foreigners exposed in the exposition.
In Edinburgh some years ago dama?,e was done to
goods' but as no buildings were demolished no damages
could b s recovered. He wished to know if they were to
act on the precedent of D an Pacifico ?
The;Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no doubt but
that if, in the case alluded to, the son of the Secretary at
War had joined in the spoliation, compensation would
have been given.
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Lord BEAUMONT asked if it was true that the ne-
gotiations which had for the object the termination of the
differences between Denmark and the Duchies had been
successful ?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he had the sa-
tisfaction of stating that under the mediation of this
country a treaty had been concluded settling all the dif-
ferences existing between Denmark and Prussia.
