He then went into a lengthened

condemned the Government for not having a second army
in reserve, to supply the losses of that which was first sent
out. He charged the Government with neglect generally,
and alluded sarcastically to the omission of all allusion to
the services of the Baltic fleet, and to the lack of foresight
on the part of Government in sending out a fleet, carrying
a draught of water which rendered it incapable of doing
service. In conclusion, after remarking upon the recent

at Cooper's Rooms, Broad-street, was very numerously
and respectably attended. Nearly two hundred influential
gentlemen were present. The lion. Dr. Goding, president
of the association, took the chair, and delivered a most
able inaugural address, in which he demonstrated the
truth of the law of similitude, and the undeniable power

of infinitesimal doses in curing the rapid and violent

amongst them. He gives the per-centages of mortality

FRIDAY, DEC, 15.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.—In reply to a question,
Mr. CARDWELL said last session reports were laid upon
the table detailing the result of experiments in three coun-
ties in Scotland and England. The house was well satis-
fied, and voted £13,000 for further experiments. Of this
sum, £3,000 was to be spent in Ireland, and the rest in
Scotland and 11 counties in England. The returns for
Ireland were completed, those for Scotland nearly so ; and
those for England would be ready, he believed, in January,
and before the usual time for the re-assembling of the
house would be in their possession.
TREATY WITH AUSTRIA.—Lord J. RUSSELL brought
up "Papers by command of Her Majesty," of which the
title read by the clerk was, " A treaty of alliance between
Her Majesty, the Emperor of France, and the Emperor of
Austria."—The treaty was laid on the table, and ordered
to be printed.
THANKS TO THI

ARMY AND NAVY

Lord J. RUSSELL moved a series of resolutions similar
to those in the Lords, thanking the army and navy for
their brilliant services. He proceeded to give a narrative
of the military events in the Crimea, and said that all
classes in this country might be proud of those events, for
the best blood of England, without distinction of rank
and station, was flowing in that army which had shed on
this country a glory that future generations would refer
to with exultation.

Mr. DisBABLI, in seconding the motion, made a most
effective speech, giving his entire concurrence to every sen-
timent to which the noble lord had given utterance.
Lord HOTHAM and Mr. LAYABD also supported the
motion.

Mr. H. DEITADIOND addressed the house in a strain
condemnatory of anonymous writers, who insinuated
charges against officers whose hospitality they had experi-
enced, and he expressed some satisfaction that Mr.
Layard had evinced some desire to repair the mischief he
had done.

Mr. LAYARD hereupon said the letter containing the
charges referred to against Admiral Dundas was never
intended for publication, and on finding that it was pub-
lished, he avowed himself the author and offered every
reparation in his power. At the same time he must say
he would, if necessary, prove all that he had alleged
against Admiral Dundas, even from the Government
dispatches. - - -

He next illustrated the ignorance and unscrupulousness
of the Romish Priests, in reference to the slanders propa-

gated by them in opposition to Cranmer's mora►
and against his scholastic acquirements. The truth being
that he was an eminent scholar and a truly good man, found
ing his pretensions to learning on the solid basis of the
Word of God. He next exhibited the commonsense view
taken by Cranmer in regard to the celebrated divorce case
of Henry VIII., and referred to the refusal of Cranmer
and his companions to kiss the Pope's toe. In studying
the complications of the divorce case, Cranmer obtained
much of his own knowledge ; and he was, through that
4,ldr. enabled to aid materially in relieving England from
ay. The lecturer defined Cranmer's pro-
ceedings in the case of Henry's divorce, and argued that
he acted conscientiously in bringing about the object of
the King. He defended the consistency of Cranmer in taking
the oath to the Pope, and also to the King on his promotion

NEUTRAL SHIPS.

With reference to the war in Europe, he said
the principle which they had laid down, that when
the principal powers of Europe were at war, free ships
made free goods, except iu the case of articles contraband
of war, had been approved of by all the powers, and the
King of Prussia had proposed an additional article, pro-
viding for the renunciation of privateering. This, how-
ever, could not be listened to by their government, for if
it were adopted as an international rule, the commerce of
a nation having comparatively a small .naval force' would
be very much at the mercy of its enemy, in a case of war
with a power of decided naval superiority. The greater
extent and more exposed condition of their wide-spread
commerce would give any power an advantage over them.
Should the leading powers of Europe concur in proposing,
as a rule of international law, to exempt private property
upon the ocean from seizure by public armed cruisers as
well as by privateers, the United States would readily meet
them upon that broad ground.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1854-12-19

FARCE

With regard to, their relations with France, which coun-
try was their early and efficient ally in their struggle for
independence, there had been some slight misunderstanding,
but these had been arranged, and: the correspondence on
the subject of the exclusion of the American Minister to
Spain from passing through France, between their Envoy
at Paris and the Minister of Foreign Relations of the
French Government, would be laid before Congress.

The position of their affairs with Spain remained the
same as at the close of the last session ; and there was
reason to believe that the present Government were more
inelined than the preceding to comply with their joint
demands, and to make arrangements for preserving peace
and harmony between the two countries.
