HOUSE OF LORDS—MoNDAy, MAsett 27.

Owing to the important announcement of a message
from the Crown, concerning the rapture with Russia,
there was a numerous attendance.

RUPTURE WITH RUSSIA.

MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN.

The Earl of ABERDEEN brought up the Message from
the Crown, and delivered it into the hands of the Clerk,
at the table.

The Clerk carried it to the
LORD CHANCELLOR, who read it as follows :
" VICTORIA, REGINA.

" Her Majesty thinks it proper to acquaint the House
of Lords, that the negotiations in which her Majesty, in
eoncert with her allies, have for some time been engaged
with His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, have
terminated, and Her Majesty feels bound to afford active
assistance to her ally, the Sultan, against unprovoked
aggression. Her Majesty has given directions for laying
before the House of Lords copies of such papers, in addi-
tion to those already communicated to Parliament, as will
afford the fullest information with regard to the subject
of those negotiations. It is a consolation to Her Majesty
to reflect that to endeavours had been wanting, ou her
part, to preserve to her subjects the blessings of peace.
Her Majesty's just expectations have been disappointed,
and Her Majesty relies, with confidence, upon the zeal and
devotion of the House of Lords, and on the exertions
of her brave and loyal subjects, to support her in the
determination to employ the power and resources of the
nation to protect the dominions of the Sultan against the
encroachments of Russia." (Cheers.)
The Earl of CLARENDON gave notice that on Friday he
should move an answer to Her Majesty's message.

The Earl of DERBY presumed that the noble Earl would
then take the opportunity of stating fully the precise
objects which we had in view in entering on this war;
also, if there was any convention or other engagement
with France, or the Porte, establishing a sort of protec-
torate over the Christian subjects of the Porte.

Earl GREY hoped the answer to the royal message
would be so drawn out that their Lordships might unani-
mously agree to it.

The subject then dropped.
LAW OF SETTLEMENT

In reply to the Earl of DERBY, the Earl of ABERDEEN
said the subject of settlement and removal of Irish paupers
was necessarily connected with the measure now under
the consideration of the other House ; but he was not pre-
pared to say when this part of the subject would be dealt
with.

The select committee on the Common Law Procedure
Bill was appointed.
The Valuation (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill was read
a third time and passed.

The House adjourned at fifteen minutes past six.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, MARCH 27.
There was a very large attendance of members.
HULL DOCKS.
This bill was read a third time, and passed.
LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Onthemotion for the third reading of the Liverpool Sani-
tory Acts Amendment Bill, Mr. BM:MEWS objected to
the clause which empowered two justices, upon the report
of the medical officer of health, to fix the number of
inhabitants that should be permitted to dwell in any e,
and which further imposed a penalty of £5 per dirfor
every day on which the number so fixed should be ex-
ceeded ; it was an interference of private rights, and would
form a most inconvenient precedent.
Mr. LIDDELL defended the clause as absolutely neces-
sary on sanitary grounds, and wished it might be adopted
as a precedent, being sure that it was a very desirable
power for the sake of public security against the evils of
overcrowding.

The house divided—For the clause, 59 ; against it, 119;
majority, 60. The clause was consequently lost.—The
bill was read a third time and passed.

After a brief discussion upon the South Sea Bill, in
which several amendments were moved and afterwards
withdrawn,

RUPTURE WITH RUSSIA.

THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE.

Lord J. RUSSELL rose to state that a message had been
sent down from the Crown to the House, which, having
been handed to the Speaker, he moved that it be read.
The SPEA.ICEIL then, amidst profound silence, read the
Royal Message. It began by expressing Her Majesty's
regret at being obliged to announce that the negotiations
in which this country, in concert with her allies, had been
so long engaged with the Emperor of Russia had termi-
nated, and that she had consequently felt bound by treaty
to render her active assistance and support to her ally,
the Sultan, against the unprovoked aggression of Russia.
Her Majesty had given directions that copies of all such
negotiations, in addition to those already delivered, be
laid before the house, as might afford information with
regard to the subject of these negotiations. It was a con-
solation to Her Majesty to reflect that no endeavour had
been wanting, on her part, to preserve to her subjects the
blessings of peace. Her Majesty's just expectations had
been 'disappointed ; but Her Majesty relied, with confi-
dence, on the zealous devotion of her faithful Commons,
and the exertions of her brave and loyal subjects, to
employ all the power and resources of the nation to pro-
tect the Sultan from the encroachments of Russia.

Lord J. RUSSELL then moved that the gracious message
of Her Majesty be taken into consideration on Friday.

LAW OP SETTLEMENT.

On the order of the day for the second reading of the
Settlement and Removal Bill,
Mr. PACER moved the postponement of the bill until
the 26th of April, on the ground of the alterations intro-
duced into the bill since it was first brought forward.
Mr. WALPOLE supported the motion for delay until the
Government were prepared to bring in the contemplated
measure respecting Irish and Scotch paupers.
Mr. BAINES strongly opposed the proposition for delay,
and contended that the bills were perfectly distinct, and
that no good reason existed for postponing the considera-
tion of the measure. He therefore called upon the House
to proceed with the bill on its own merits, as applicable
to England and Wales, and without reference to the bill
respecting Ireland, which was about to be introduced.
Mr. R. PALMER thought that the opinions and votes of
many hon. members might depend on the nature of the
bill relative to Irish paupers.

Mr. HERBERT took a similar view as to the necessity of
not legislating on the subject of settlement until the Irish
bill was before the house.

Mr. NATTER spoke in favour of adjournment.

Lord PALMERSTON said that Her Majesty's ministers
had not sufficient time to mature the Bill relative to Ire-
land, but that he considered a gross injustice would be
done, if, when they abolish the power of compulsory
removal in this country, they did not also apply the prin-
ciple to Irish paupers. He strongly urged the necessity
of proceeding with the bill, and should, therefore, press
the second reading.

Sir JOHN TROLLOPE and the Marquis of GEANBY sup-
ported the motion for adjournment; and Sir G. GREY
opposed it.
Colonel DUNICE did not think Ministers were acting
up to their pledge given to the Irish members, and com-
plained strongly of the course taken by Government.
Mr. E. DzivisoN considered it most impolitic to mix
up the question of Irish removals with the present mea-
sure, inasmuch as it perilled the passing of the latter.
Mr. MAGUIRE remarked that if the Irish members
helped the Government to carry the second reading, they
could not put the screw on Government to insure justice
to Ireland.

Lord J. RUSSELL said that the intention of government
on the question of applying the principles of the bill to
Ireland had been plainly stated on a former evening, but
government had thought that the necessary provisions
would not be introduced into the bill, and that more
information was required before they legislated in refer-
ence to Irish and Scotch paupers.

The house divided—For adjournment of the debate,
209; against it, 183; majority against government, 26.
The debate was then adjourned till the 25th of April.
CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.

On the second reading of the Controverted Elections
Bill being read,

Mr. LIDDELL objected to several portions of the bill,
more especially that relating to the appointment of asses-
sors to the election committees of barristers of ten years
standing, with a view to decide disputed points of the law,
and stated at some length what parts of the bill would be
rendered unnecessary by the instructions. He intended
to move when it went into committee, namely, "to pro-
vide for the trial of all cases submitted to the Parlia-
mentary Committee before the Court of Law."
The bill was then read a second time.
After a motion of adjournment by Colonel Sum:tows
had been negatived,
The Bribery PreVention Bill was read a second time.

MINISTERS' MONEY.

The house then went into committee on the Ministers'
Money (Ireland) Bill.

Mr. FAGAZi moved all amendment, to the effect that
