FEIDAY.  The House TO at four o'clock. Lord FALMBELSTON, in reply to Mr D. Griffiths, said it was well known that Egypt was part of the Turkish empire. The law of Turkey prohibited forced labour; but until the most recent period it had prevailed in Egypt. Both the Sultan tad the Naha had determined to put an end to it, and her Majesty's Government had :eXpnmsed their approval of that cleterinination. Sir G. Bowraa asked Lord Palmerston what proofs he-had to justify a statement made by him in the debate on Italy, that there exists at Rome a committee of not less than 200 persons by whom bands of murderers are organised and sent into the Neapolitan tenitory to commit every sort of atrocity. Lord PALttearroN said he had no documents to lay on the table, bat he was in the habit of receiving, from time to time, very interesting information with regard to men and things in different parts of tht world; but he was afraid, if he stated the names of the persons from whom he received it, he shoulil very soon know as little as the hon. Baronet seemed to know.  The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr Blake, said that he did not intend be proceed in Committee of Wayeand Means with the resolution which imposed a legacy duty on bequests intended for charitable purposes in Ireland. Lord PALMERSTON said he intended to propose that the House should adjourn on Tuesday next until the following Thursday week, for the Whitsuntide holidays. Lord PALmitaiNvoN, in reply to Lord Raynham, said that numerous outrages had recently been committed by Russian troops on the Circassian tribes of the Eastern shores of the Black Sea. By the treaty of Paris it was provided that the navigation of the Black Sea should be free. He thought that the Russian Government in their claims upon the coast of Cireaasia went further than they were entitled to go by the treaties which had been entered into upon the subject. On the motion for going into committee of supply, A discussion took place about the necessity of improving the condition of the regimental quarter-masters of the army, but no result was arrived at. Mr LIDDELL called the attention of the House to the events in Cnina, with a view of obtaining an expression of opinion from the House upon the course of policy pursued in that country. The hon. member moved for the papers on the subject. After some words from Mr Bathe the motion was negatived without a division. On the question that the Speaker leave the chair, Mr COBDEN rose and expressed great surprise and astonishment at the course the Government had pursued in allowing the motion to be negatived, without having considered it their duty to express their opinions upon so important a question. Lord NAAS gave notice that on an early day he should bring forward the subject again. Mr LAYARD said he was prepared to enter into the question, but as there were other foreign subjects on the paper he had taken the usual course of waiting until they were all brought forward, reserving his reply for the present, _ . . .  The House then went into committee of supply, and immediately afterwards resumed.  The amendment to the Thames Embankment (North Side) Bill, and the Vaccination (Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to. The London Coal and Mine Duties Continuance Bill, and the Sale of Mill Sites, &c. (Ireland) Bill were read a third time and passed. The Statute Labour Roads and Bridges (Scotland) Bill,-and the Statute Labour Roads and Bridges (Scotland) Transfer Bill passed through committee, pro fornia, for the. purpose of inserting amendments.
