| ENGLANp.-The House of Lords wassa
. scene of the most exciting debate on
4 Monday night, growing out of motion
of Lord Stanley relative to the conduct OF
| government in the Greek affair. laord
Stanley pretaced the introduction of his
| motion by speech of an hours duration,
| in which he contended that the leading
| characteristic Of the whole transaction
with Greece, was that Of prevarication
and dishonor on the part of the Ministry.
Al the conclusion of his speech (Which
was loudly cheered throughout its de-
livery he made vigorous appeal to the
House, entreating them not to allow the
mighty power of England to be pros:rat-
ed in opposing a weak and almost de-
| fenceless nation.
The Marquis of Landsdown undertook
defence of Lord Palmerston, but with
poor success, as, on division, the minis
ters were left in minority.
The bill abolishing the Lord Lieuten-
ancy of Ireland, passed a second reading

Should the ministry not resign, there is
a growing belief that the great industrial
Exhibition of all Nations" at London,
will fail for want of funds.
The growing crops OF England and
Ireland are said to look unusually pro-
missing.
The announcement made cn Friday
that the Russian Government had pro-
tested against the manner i'll which the
Greek affair was terminated by MIR. Wyse,
is fully confirmed by accounts subsequently,
