HOUSE OF COMMONS.-LAST

On the motion for considering the amendment upon the
Prussian Ministers Residence Bill, Sir R. INotis introduced
the subject of the Chevalier Bunsen being removed from the
gallery of the House of Lords this day week, through the in-
strumentality of Lord Brougham, and expressed rather strongly
his feelings in favour of the Chevalier.—Mr. ROEBUCK, on the
other hand, vindicated the proceedings of Lord Brougham; but
the subject was dropped at the instance of Lord John Russell.—
On the orders of the day being read, Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose
and appealed to Mr. Anstey and Mr. Hume to withdraw their
amendments upon the resolution of Mr. Roebuck on the Greek
question, on the grounds that the same question was raised by
each of their resolutions respecting the foreign policy of the
goverment.—Mr. ANSTEY immediately acceded tothe request,
but Mr. HUME declined to withdraw his amendment, reserving
the right to act as he might think proper.—Mr. ROEBUCK then
moved the resolution of which he gave notice on Thursday. He
commenced at five minutes past five, by stating that, owing to
the adverse vote of the House of Lords upon Lord Palmerston's
policy, it had been necessary for that House to express its
opinion thereon. He then reviewed the part taken by this
country, from the first French revolution, in foreign affairs.
Our interference in those events brought on general war, but
Lord Palmerston had acted in a different spirit when the second
French revolution broke out; he did not interfere,yet preserved
peace; and in all the subsequent events he had successfully
pursued the same policy. He made a furious attack on Russia,
and expressed his approval of Lord Palmerston's conduct with
regard to Hungary, and then referred to the affairs of
Greece; into the details of which he entered at some length.—
Mr. ROEBUCK'S speech was pretty well received. There
seemed to be an impression in the house that it was too pom-
pous. It was conceived in the to quoque spirit, and the re-
joinder of Sir F. Tx ESIGER upon his consistency elicited loud
cheers. The hon. baronet charged Mr. Roebuck with having
called Lord Palmerston, in 1843, a lucifer match. The galle-
ries were very greatly crowded, and the house was full of mem-
bers, many of whom, however, departed for dinner imme-
diately that Mr. Hume rose. and the numbers were still more
diminished when Sir F. Thesiger rose. In the seats appro-
priated to peers was Lord Stanley, who sat between Lord
Campbell and the Bishop of Norwich. Many other peers
were present, who remained during the greater part of the
evening.—Mr. HUME has withdrawn his amendment.
