THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH I@, 1862.  if the noble lord would promise to give the question his serious attention, and his attention in • somewhat different spirit from that which had dictated his allusion the other night to political suicide, be would join in an appeal to his hon. friend not to press his motion. . GOWER mid he felt at mime Ines to know what 1111111 the nel view entertained by the hoc. baronet (Sir S. Northoote), and what was the comae which, at the end of him speech, he recommended her Majesty's government to • take. For himself, be feared that the hasty adoption of • declaration like that which bad been proposed might tend very much to our disadvantage. Mr. CAVE said that the motion of his hon. friend had been stigmatised as being the offspring of a emulous philanthropy, and am leading to political suicide. But that phi. lanthropy, if spurious, originated with the Congress of Para; and if suicidal, dated from that event. (Hear, hear.) After that declaration it was impossible for them to remain stationary ; they must go either backwards or forwards, and humanity summoned them to go forwards. Sir F. GCLDSMID hoped the government would adopt • policy alike firm and temperate in dealing with foreign states. If unfortunately they should be engaged in war, the people, he believed, would endure the hardships necessary in such • state of things, but he did pot think the government ought unnecessarily prolong those sacrifices by unwisely surrendering that right of maritime capture which Mr. Marcy said, and said truly, conferred the most important adenines on the greatest of the maritime powers. Lord H. VANE hoped that the hon. member for Liverpool would not press his resolution to • division, although he quite agreed.with him that the present state of the law on this subject was unsatisfactory. He agreed with the sentiment of the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's government, that war was not decided by the low, to be endured. Individuals must necessarily to e certain degree suffer during war, bat he hoped that the effect of the peesent discussion would be to Isom the horrors which attended it. The sufferings of individuab ld, be trusted, be lessened, but oars should be taken not to our means of bringing war to a speedy termination. Weer.)

If the psopoalmods would promote it he was at a leas to see how it could be objected to ; if, on the other band, he thought it would in any way interfere with that supremacy, he would not think of supporting it. It was said that the great security of Boglaad lay in the fact that she pommies • greater naval force then any other country ; but while that was admittedly so, the fact that the commerce of the country which required protection, and which, skit were, presaged a water mutate of attack to an enemy, was promtieneask (Hear. bear.)
