Lord Pamerston. who had listened with great at

extremely lattered and highly gratihed by TINS ex-

Government were fully aware of the sympathles OF
the British nation in favor Of the cause OF hungary
! but Of course as the organ of the Government OF
her Majesty, who IN friendly alliance with the
great foreign powers which had been referred to, 1t
could not be expected that he should concur IN some
of the expressions which had been used III the ad-
| dresses He felt, however, that 1t was higny grdu'
f,ing 10 have been insrumentalln aiding the cause
of the patriotic HungaTIaBs and Poles, who, without
British intervention, wond no DOUBT nave Deeh
doomed 10 perpetual imprisonment, ana nave sach-
feed their eedom,l not even their Vesln Ihe cause
! of their country's independence. They never could
have been rescued from the fate which awaited taen
even by the aid which the government of this coun-
| try was enabled to afford, had not the government
| been backed by public opinion here Inere was no
question OF the great moral power Which the govern
| me q
| as the government were packed III the exercise o'
| that power by the public opinion OF the people. No
doubt the moral power of the British Government
was immense, more than people generally imagined,
| but II would be only effective long as the people
| and the government went together. [tlearl There
could be no doubt that with regard to its Hungarian
policy the government had been backed by the peo-
! pleas was instanced by the fact OF the appeals
which had been made from all quarters and from all
the large towns and cities in the KINGDOM urging on
the government interference in that important
question. 1t was not necessary that England should
exercise a power with its armies with It's 0ayo-
! nets or with its cannon. The moral power,
where the government was backed by the people,
would do great deal more. The moral power was
greater than ANYTHING else. but that could not
| be made effective unless the Government and peo-
| pie acted IN unison. The Government more espe-
| cially the Foreign Department. were sometimes ac-
| cused OF keeping too much secrecy with regard TO
| their transactions with foreign powers 1t was SAID
there ought not to be so much secrecy in diplomacy
but. upon the ground that men in the ordinary
business transactions OF life, did not make public all
the details of such transaeons until the bargains i
| which they might be engaged were completed, so
also 1t necessary that the publication OF the
proceedings of diplomacy should be len the Judg
ment and discretion of that department OF the Cow
eminent IN order properly TO transact the business
| of the nation. The noble lord again SAID, the re-
ception of these addresses Just read, and the gen
eral expression of approval of his conduct on the
part of his countrymen, afforded him unfegned
pleasure and qualification.
Mr.. Shaen Observed that he felt that the people Of
England had been hitherto somewhat luke warm
and caOus as to the relations OF this country with
foreign nations but recent events, coupled with the
Circumstance that encouragement was held out to
them by the Government that they should do so,
would have the effect for the future OF making them
equally alive to foreign as TO domes ic subjects
Lord Pamerson remarked that one of the diff
cultes which was felt IN the conduct Of foreign
affairs from The fact of the great bulk Of the
people caring generally little about them. The
! Government had no desire to be urged on TO war;
although they were DESTROYS of unfolding the nation
aliy OF foreign countries. At the time when Hun
earan affairs were agitating the world--he did not
aude TO centdemOnstratlons here, 0utthose which
led to the step the part Of the Government were
the great demonstrations held in Glasgow, Edln-
ouIeh, birmingham, and all the great to Sns, as well
as tie metropols-when forty or fifty addresses had
reached him from all the great towns, he the noble
vlscounD forwarded them to Sir SHatford Canning,
to show him that 1t was not merely the wish of the
| Government, butthe wish Of the people that he
should interfere, and prevent, If possible, that which
other powers were demanding, and it was only that
circumstance which put the Government IN po-
sitlon to grant aid If II were needed But the Sultan
to &c him justice, was most willing TO lend his aid
and cooperate with this country carrying out the
wishes of the British Government Hear, hear
At the same time, however great deal of good geR
erashlp and judgment was required and during the
pending struggle good deal Of judicious bottehod
ing was obliged to be brought into play. Hear

qualification at these marks Of confidence and APP

Suicide by an American Gentleman at Liver
pool
An American gentleman. named Charles
l.. Barnes, who arrived here from New-York In the
America on Sunday week, committed suicide at the
Adelphl Hotel on Wednesday night last. Ii appears
he arrived at the Adelph sboring under nervous ex
citement. He became so unwel that Mr.. Blcker-
seth was sent for notwithstanding which Mr.. Barnes
still became worse. There was man In attendance
upon him at his own request and 1t appeared from
his statement that on the evening in question, MI
Barnes got out of bed for two hours, and asked the
man to make the bed at the same time asking him
for clean pocket handkerchief Mr.. Barnes, how
ever, went himself TO his Portmanteau and 1t Is sup

went to get his supper, leaving another man in the
room when he returned he saw something shining
on the bed, and, on examination, he found it was
