      NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS . Several communications unavoidably stand over .

      THE MAL . MESBURY AND WALEWSKI CORRESPONDNCE . -France has intended to pick a quarrel with England at the earliest opportunity ; she lms desisted now only because the opportunity is not so favourable as she supposed . We will examine the correspondence , and see if this is too harsh a construction . On the first night of the session Mr . Disraeli announced , with something like triumph , that an answer had been received from the French Government in answer to the despatch of Xord MAiiMESBTJRT , and assured the House that " those painful misconceptions which unhappily for a time subsisted between the Governments of the two countries have been entirely terminated , in a spirit which has been both friendly and honourable , and iu a manner which , I believe , will be as satisfactory to the feelings , as I am sure it will be conducive to the interest and happiness , of both countries . "

      Leaving the question of interest , let us see what real cause for satisfaction we can find in the closing despatch of the Prench Minister . Count Walewski's expressions of the Imperial desire to maintain the English alliance are quite of course ; whatever lengths he bad been determined to go in the opposite direction , those formal expressions would have been pretty much the same . All his expressions of concern at the ' misconstruotions' that have been pufc upon his former despatch have been followed by the iteration and reiteration of the passages which led to the ' misconceptions , ' and even in the Count's last lucubration , as Mr . Disraeli would call it , we find that in spirit he does not abate a jot of the tone of demand and menace with which he roused our indignation a month ago . " Tho Einporor , M . lo Comto , " wrote Count Walewski to Count do Poralgny , " has never intended to demand tho support of foreign Governments to increase his personal security .

      Leai > ek Office , Saturday , March 20 th . LAST NIGHTS PARLIAMENT . HOUSE OF LORDS . NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND . In answer to the Marquis of Clanricakde , the Earl of Derby said nothing would be done to imperil the present system of education in Ireland . The Government had come to no decision on the subject , and no step would be taken without the previous consent of Parliament . The India Loan Bill was read a third time , and passed ; and the House adjourned . HOUSE-OF COMMONS . ASSIMILATION OF OUR COLONIAL LAWS . In answer to Mr . Horsjfall , Lord Stanley said that , however desirable it might be , he did not think it would be practicable to establish a uniform system of laws throughout our colonial possessions . Such a course would create dissatisfaction in the colonies . THE CAPTDRE OF DELHI . Mr . Kinnaird asked the Secretary for War whether it was in contemplation to issue medals to commemorate the capture of Delhi to all those engaged in that mem orable siege . —General Peel said it was in contemplation to issue such medals .

      EAST INDIA ARMY REGULATIONS . Mr . Fagan called the attention of the Secretary of the Board of Control to the army regulation made by the Governor-General in India in Council in 1855 , which requires that the children of soldiers over four years of age should be sent to the regimental schools , in order to entitle such soldiers to draw for each child subsistence money of five shillings per month . He also asked whether any alterations had been made in the regulations on behalf of Roman Catholic soldiers . —Mr . H . Baillie said that , so far as he could learn , no alterations had been made in the Indian regulation referred to , which is identical with that of the English army . He thought the regulation in question answered the purposes the hon . member had in view . —Mr . Maguire said the regulation did not give freedom of action to the private soldier . — The subject then dropped .

      COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY . Mr . Bag-well brought before the House the subject of certain parties professing to obtain commissions in the army without purchase or examination , by raising a certain number of men for her Majesty ' s service . A stop ought to be put to these transactions , by preventing parties getting commissions below the regulation charges , and without examination . Should the Government not give a satisfactory ans-weT , he would at the proper time move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the subject of the appointment to commissions without examination .- —Colonel Knox denounced the system as scandalous . —General Codrington thought that Mr . Bagwell ought first to have inquired if the agents acted with the authority of Government . —General Peel admitted that the principle of granting commissions without examination is bad ; butwlienthe circular was issued—viz ., the 1 st of September , 1857—it was necessary to obtain as many men as possible . The circular answered its purpose . In 1855 , only 38 , 000 men were recruited in the course of the year ; but , in the six months since the issue of the circular , 86 , 000 men had been raised . A great many had applied , and had received commissions . Their names were entered on a list as they applied , and no one had obtained a commission through an agent . Ho had no objection to an inquiry on tho subject ; but the system is now at an ead , aa tho pressure for men is not so great . THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN DUBLIN . In reply to tho O'Donoghoe , Lord Naas said that , as regards tho lato disturbances in Dublin , tho Government would introduce a continuance bill , they did not prefer a permanent moasure . An assemblage of persons took place in Dublin last Saturday , only a few of whorn , were students . Ho could not say that tho riot was of a sorioua character , and he was happy to state that tho aotive measures taken by tho Government had preserved the poaco of tho city . The excitement was passing away , and tranquillity again prevailed in Dublin . Tho orders of tho day wore then disposed of , and tho House adjourned at twonty minutes past six .
