    DIVORCE CASES . BOUSE OF LORDS , Mokdav , Jose U . T 5 e > Bessett ' s Divobce . —This bouse assembled at half-past ttwooVo o ' clock to hear farther evidence in support of thesexond i ; ond reading of " Bennett ' s Divorce" Bill . "" Tl " " Tl" Tcers present were the Lord Chancellor , Lord TOronmrong bam , Lord Effingham , Lord Monteagle , and Lord bsiransirang ford . As As sometime has elapsed since the former hearing , ifc will Will h e necessary , in order to the reader ' s understanding u be e tbe ease , recapitulate the outline of tbe matter;— The tpetitipetitioner , Mr . William Anthony Burlton Bennett , sought , lhy tbliy tbe means of this hill , to be divorced from his wife , IMarLMarianae Colmore Bennett , to whom he was married on

    nhe hhe 15 th of April , 1833 . Mrs . Bennett s name was Crcgoe "fbe J'fbe marriage was solemnised , according to tbe rites of the ichuT church of England , at tbe parish church of Charlton JEingBngs , '" tbe county of Gloucester . Two sons formed tbe iisBcisBe of tbat marriage , aged respectively eighteen and iSftecflftecn . The parties lived together after the marriage-, inrst first residing in the metropolis , and afterwards in different ] part-parts of the continent . Sir . and Mrs . Bennett resided iiogeiof rtheruntil 1814 , occupying temporary residences , and 'initiniheautamnofthat year the petitioner made arrange-: inenwents to go to Scotland on a shooting excursion , and it was was arranged that Mrs . Bennett , instead of taking any per-; maninar . cnt residence , should pay a visit to a friend wholired ; ai iai Ilitcben . in the county of Hertford . On her way to Bin Birchen Mrs . Bennett paid a visit to a Mrs . Parmerat

    , 5 or 5 onsuch-park , in the county of Surrey . It was with the ntrrmtmost astonishment that the petitioner subsequently hea heard of Mrs . Bennett ' s unexpected departure . Trie disco * cavery having taken placo , au intimate friend , Colonel ErrEmngion , was consulted by tbe petitioner , jit the period Mr Mr . Bennett set out for Scotland , he , together with his wife , was was residing at Worthing in the county of Sussex ; thence 31 r 31 rs . Bennett was to go to Nonsuch-park , and thence to procee ceed to Hitchec on a visit to a relative , and she was to have ren remained at tbe last mentioned place until tbe return of the pet petitioner from his shooting excursion . Accompanied by iseiiser second child , Mrs . Bennett proceeded to Nonsuch-park , wh which spot she quitted suddenly in tbe month of August , IS ! ISM , taking with her the child , carefully concealing her inten tended place of destination . The fact of ber departure

    hai having been communicated to the petitioner , he at once commt minced a vigorous search with tlie view of discovering hi * wi wife . The petitioner was assisted in this inquiry by Colonel Ei Errington and the police . Circumstances arose in the course of oftheinqnsrv which caused the petitioner to suspect that hi Ms wife ivad gone to the Continent ; but considerable time w ; was consumed in the search which he had set on foot before h ( he could obtain the least trace as to whither she had pro-« seeded . At length , however , after the most diligent and pi persevering inquiries , a clue was gained as to the coarse X Mrs . B ?« iiett had taken , and , accordingly , Mr . Bennett fii first traced her to Lyons , and thence , by way of Marseilles ai and Genoa , into Italy . Mrs . Bennett bad assumed tbe name ol of Barnard . From Italy tbe petitioner followed her to S Spain , and on her arrival in that country he dircovered tbat

    si she bad adopted the name of Freemantle . Dating the h month _ of December he found that his wife was living at \ Valencia . In conseqaence of this discovery be had an int terview with her , and urged her to return home , but in that i request be was not successful . At tbe timo of ber marriage s a settlement of the interest of £ 5 , 000 to her own separate t use was made , therefore Mrs . Bennett wes not without j pecuniary means of her own . During the progress of the 1 petitioner ' s inquiry at "Valerius he ascertained tbat Mr . John j Ifasfin * s Toacnett , with whom he and his wife had been , « acquainted while in England , was sojourning at the French ' Hotel at Valencia , under tbe assumed name of Shirley , and : it wa » this gentleman who was charged with the commission of adultery with Mrs . Bennett . At the time of the discovery i of 31 rs . Bennett at Valencia she was not residing in the

    same house as that occupied by Mr . Touchest . The petitioner , having been supplied with the information that his wife was acting under the advice of Mr . Touchett , asssau ' ted tbat gentleman ; ia consequence he fell into the bands of tho local authorities . It having been ascertained , however , tbat Mr . Touchett was travelling under an assumed name , he was ordered to leave the country . While the petitioner was staying at Valencia for tbe purpose of learning the course of his wife ' s conduct during her residence at tbat place he bad been unable to obtain any informatim of facts sufficiently strong to warrant any accusation against her of adulterous intercourse with Mr . Touchett . The petitioner renewed his iiitreaties tbat his wife would return home , but this she strenuously , as before , declined to do . lie then asked her to give up ilw child , but that she refused to do until he

    consented to execute a deed of separation , and even then be had been obliged to threaten to invoke the aid of the authorities before she would give up the child . Having gained posses * sion of the child , the petitioner returned to England , and tbe deed of separation was executed on tbe 15 : h of May , 1846 . . Mrs . Bennett after this quitted Valencia and proceeded to Paris , where , and at other parts of France , she continued to reside ; and although the petitioner entertained a suspicion that an adulterous intercourse subsisted between bis wife and "Mr . Touchett , he had not been able to obtain any positive information upon the subject until the month of August in the last year . Having beard from his son that Ms mother was going to return to England , it occurred to his mind that Sir . Touchett , whom he bad noticed at tbe Reigate station , might be waifcmg to receive ber as she came up from Folkestone , on her route from Boulogne ; so , when he arrived at the next station he got out of the down train , and returned to Keigaie by the next up train . On arriving at

    Reigate . he ascertained that tbe gentleman he had described had received a lady who had alighted from the preceding up train , and that they had gone on together to Horsham . Tbe petitioner followed , and he discovered that they had engaged apartments at the King ' s Head , though not as for man and wife . The petitioner placed a watch upon them , and in the course of that night Mr . Touchett was observed to quit his own bedroom and enter that of Mrs . Bennett , where he remained the whole of the night . Here , then , it was that an adulterous intercourse was committed , and from tbat period to the present time the petitioner had not had any communication whatever wi'h his wife . On the 29 h of August the petitioner brought an action against Mr . Touchett in tbe Court of Queen ' s Bench . The defendant allowed judgment to go bj default , and the damages were assessed at £ 500 . The damages had been paid , and tbe necessary proceedings were instituted in tbe Ecclesiastic *! Court , where a sentence Of divorce a mensaet ihoro was pronounced on the 2 Gth of February last .

    Farther evidence was heard , and the consideration thereof a d journed « ne die .

    Batixt ' s Divobcb . —As some months have elapsed since this matter was before the house , for the purpose of calling the attention of the public to tbe facts of the case we give a sketch of the details as an abstract of tbe opening statement of tie learned counsel on tbe previous occasion . Their Lordships would find that the young man , at the time a minor , had , on the 9 th of October , ISIS , contracted a marriage with a woman who at that period had passed as Miss Helen Susannah Hewton . The name of the petitioner was Bicbard Batley , the younger . Tbe ceremony was performed i » the district church of St . John ' s , in the "Waterloo-road , and at the time of the marriage the petitioner was only in his 29 th yesr , and did sot complete that age until tbe succeeds ? month . Tbe marriage had taken place without

    either tho consent or knowledge of Mr . Batley , the father . Prior to their union tbe woman had represented herself as the daughter of a Captain A ' ewion , holding a commission in the army , living at So . 6 , Clarence-place , Tun' -ridge Wells , and subsequently to the celebration tbe son communicated the fact of tho marriage to his supposed father-innw by letter . That letter , however , was returned through tbe Dead Letter-office , indorsed " So such person Jinowh " . " Upon this he spoke to his own father upon tho subject , who , naturally being anxious to ascertain the respectability of his new daughter-in-law , accompanied by a friend , went down to Tunbridge Wells , where they discovered that no such person as Captain Xewton was known . Upon the return of Mr . Batley to London he communicated the result of his inquiries to his son , and the consequence of their

    smVecnent consultation was the reparation of the latter firm bis wife on the 16 th of Oc ober—just one week after the marriage . Some time after the separation circumstances arose which created a suspicion in the mind of tho petitioner as to the propriety of the life his wife was leading , and therefore , on the 6 th of June , 1819 , he set a watch upon the house Xo . £ 0 , Brook street , Xewington , to which house he had already traced her from Astley " a in the company of a man . Having made an arrangement with two friends , named Martinelli and Barnes , on tbe 6 th of June , to watch in the street , tbo petitioner engaged a room in the house . After waiting some hours , tbe wife , accompanied by a man , was seen to enter the honse ; and having presently called in his two friends , thev proceeded to the door of the room into which it was Unown Mrs . Batley and ber companion had gone . They knocked at the door of tbe room , when a voice from within ( Mrs . Bailey ' s ) asked who was there . To this tbereplv was , "Tom . " Tbe same voice said , " Who is Torn ?' " Upon this the petitioner and his friends forced

    the door open and entered tbe room . Tbey found Mrs . Batley in bed with a man , who was in tbe act of rismg as they entered . Mrs . Batley crept under tbe bedclothes to hide herself . Both parties were undressed . Of course considerable confusion ensued upon this intrusion , and in consequence of that confusion the paramour escaped w ithont either his name or place of abode having been obtained from him . He was therefoie unprepared to place before tteir lordships any evidence as to who that person was , and for the same reason it was that the petitioner had been unable to bring an action at common law against the party , in compliance with tha rules of their lordships' house , lie fel t bound at thatatage of the statement to inform their lordshi ps that some time after the separation the petitioner bad been summoned before a magistrate , who madean order that he should make a weekly allowance to bis wife of 7 s . " ^ he fact of the adultery having thus been established , a suit was instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court six days after Jbe discovery of adultery { on the 6 th of June , 1 S 19 ) had been made , and tbe final decree was pronounced for tbe

    ci-T on the 6 th of December , lt » 0 . He could not say tbat "ere had been any distinct opposition to the suit ; but there had beensomeinterrogatoriesby certain petsjns who J , a d interfered on her behalf . It was worthy of remark , in reference to tbe nature of tha relief the petitioner sought jjoni the hands of their lordships , tbat , upon the service of he copy of the o > der of that house and the copy of the bill ° P ^ n M , ^ Batley , she was found to be living wifh . and fus siBg fa t j j C Iiaai ' e cfa , jj aine , { E " mends ; and it was ° " tj ' -at , although she was at this particular time going uoc-r the name of the mar . she was living with , yet she adlira p l tlie , ' * tlie ser " P on Uer taat EUe wa 3 e S " B-itley . —Several witnesses testified to ihe free and of * - .- ° * ^ - Bit .

    This Court Commenced Its Sittings On Mon...

    This court commenced its sittings on Monday before the Right Hon . the Lord Mayor , the Big ht Hon . the Recorder . & c . Charge of Perjury . —Dr . Jabez Burns , a Baptist minister , surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with wilful and corrupt perjury . _ Mr . Parry said the defendant , who was the minister of Enon Chapel , Marylebone , was in that capacity the successor of the Rev . Thomas Gwennap , who being possessed of property , charged his estate with an annual payment of £ 95 for purposes connected with the maintenance of tbe defendant ' s ministry , and various charities , appointing Dr . Burns and a Mr . Mekin trustees . 3 y the law of mortmain , such a deed of gift , fo be valid , should be executed twelve months

    before the death of the donor ; tbe gift , also , should be absolute , and pass immediately to the party in whose favour it was made . When after tho death of the donor his relatives became for tbe first time aware of the existence of such a deed , they applied to tbe Court of Chancery to sot it aside , on tbe ground of fraud , as nn evasion on the law of mortmain , it being contended tbat neither party intended the gift to pass at once , but it being understood between them tbat it was not to come into force until after the donor ' s death . The result of this appeal to the Court of Chancery was that tbe defendant was called upon to answer certain interrogatories , and among others , one to ascertain whether any agreement was really made between him and the deceased that the provisions of the deed should cot be enforced until after Mr . Gwennnp ' s death . To this

    interrogatory the defendant answered by deciari ' tip that no such agreement was ever made , and it was upon this statement tbo present indictment for perjury was founded . — This was the case represented for the prosecution . —An officer of tbe court of Chancery , produced th « evidence of the defendant in that court , in which he denied the existence of any secret collusive agreement between himself and the donor . —Mr . East , a deacon of defendant ' s chapel , rend a document which he and defendant signed at the house and in the presence of the late Mr . Gwcnoap , a memorandum in tbe text of which the defendant and witness admit that : the deed conveying moneys to the defendant and witness for certain purposes has been devised to meet the legal difficulties arising out of the Mortmain Act , and tbat thev perfectly undmtnRd that it is not to have

    effect during the donor ' s life . —Mr . Ballantino , for the defence , contended that no evidence had been given to show that when the deed was signed there was any agreement that it should not be enforced until after the death of tfeo donor , and any arrangement made after signature might fairly be ascribed to the proper feeling of tbe trustees . — A great number of highly respectable witnesses were call' d to speak to the defendant ' s character . —The Recorder summed up the case with great clearness and impartiality , and tlie jury , after deliberating a short timo in tho box , expressed a wish to retire . —They returned in about a quarter of an hour and gave a verdict of Not Guilty . —Mr . Metealf applied for the expenses of tbe prosecution . —The Recorder would require time to consider tbe application . Tho defendant had not been committed by a magistrate .

    On Tuesday a Mr . Bishop was tried at the Old Bailey for a libel on Dr . Barns . The prosecution arose out of the jiftair reported above . A nominal verdict was taken , and the Recorder declared that Dr . Burns left the court without tbo sliffhte-t stain on his character . A DIsgeboos Loteh , —Stephen Tibbett , 67 , was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Edith Robinson , with intent to do her grievous bodily barm . —The prosecutrix , a good looking middle-aged woman , deposed that she was a widow , and resided at No . 61 , Noble-street , St . Luke ' s . About nine months ago , the prisoneriapplied to her to know if she had any apartments to let , and sho told biro she had . And he then asked her if she was not a widow . She replied that she was , and wished to know why ho made the inquiry ; an . ? he said , " Because 1 nra single , and you are a widow , and perhaps we may make up a match . " ( A lauijh . ) Inconsequence of what the prisoner said on this occasion , she refused to let hin » ^ ome into her house as a lodger ; 5 > ut one nigbt , shortly afterwards , ho forced his way in , and conducted himself in such a manner : natshewas

    obliged to have him turned out of the hon = e , and after this h 3 annoyed her so much that she was obliged to tell tho people in the house not to allow him to come in . Oa the evening of the 22 nd of May she was standing at her door , when the prisoner came up to her , and exclaimed , "Now , Mrs . Robinson , you have been my ruin * , yon , I'll do for you ; " and at the same moment he struck her a violent blow on the head with a hammer . She struggled with him , and wrenched the hammer from his hand , and she then heard him say he was sorry he had not completed it . —The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the oflenco of unlawfully wounding , and he was sentenced to bo imprisoned and Kept to hard labour for six months .

    Triai . For Mgrdsk , —Guiseppe Remorino , an Italian , aged 20 , described as a sailor , and Emanuel Aotola , another Italian , aged 22 , also described as a sailor , were indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Murloy . It appeared from the opening statement of tbe learned counsel for the prosecution , that some few weeks ago , on a Sunday night , the 30 th of May , the two prisoners and the deceased were at tho Three Crowns public-house , in Eist Smitbfield , when a row ensued . The prisoners were soon afterwards seen in the street , and another disturbance taking place , the police came up and drove them away . It was late at night , but , nevertheless , after the police had disappeared Tenison returned to the court and joined the prisoners again . They renewed the previous quarrel , and Connolly once more interfered to get him away , but the prisoner Antola , who had armed himself with a poker , felled him to the ground , as he was in the act of taking Tenison with both arms roiind the waist . The deceased , Murley , who witnessed tho terrible assault , rushed upon Antola , to prevent his repeating tbe

    blow , and while he was restraining bim the other prisoner , Remorino , advanced to tbe spot , when Antola handed him a huge clasp-knife , which Remorino opened and deliberately st » bbsd the deceased in tbe lower part of the abdomen . The prisoner then decamped , while the deceased fell senseless to tho ground . He was , however , taken up by some of bis companions , and as he was found lo be dreadfully bleeding from the wound which the knife bad indictee , he was conveyed to tbe London Hospital , where he lingered for a few hours in great agony and than died . It would seem that all the parties were drunk at the time of the occurrence , and in the early part of tho night the deceased and one of tbe prisoners had a stand-up fi * ht about some drink which bad been given to a prostitute , and in tbe course of tbe encounter the prisoner received a severe punishment and black eye . —Tho Learned Judge summed up , when the jury , after deliberating for a short time , retired and resumed into a verdict of Manslaughter against both prisoners . —The Court then sentenced them to two vears' imprisonment with hard labour .

    . . -.-, - ¦> . . vs . LAST HONOURS TO GARIBALDI'S MOTHER . ( Translated from tbe " Gazetta del Popolo . " ) Nice is indeed a nob ' e city , a city of generous inhabitants , and an Italian in spite of tbe influence of two formidable associations , one controlling education and religion , and the other appealing to interest . And she has shown herself noble , generous and Italian to-day , when , in the least splendid quarter of the city , in a small and poor house , died a woman of the common people , at an advanced age , a woman without wealth , without the lustre of high birth , without the splendour of position in society , without the claims of a wandering genius , although richly endowed with what is far more valuable , the highest rectitude of judgment , the noblest feslinga and tho most ardent love for her country , Italy . That poor woman , though unknown to the children of fortune , was the mother of Guiseppe Garibaldi , and tbe worthy mother of so great a son .

    Only fourteen hours elapsed between tbo moment when she breathed her last and that in which she was taken to her last abode . And no sooner did tho news of her death reach any one , than , in the general interest which prevailed , that it was spread in every direction ; and crowds pressed to the humble house , not only citizens , but all the exiles , banished from their country by political circumstances , have found Nice an asylum and a hospital , At no epoch hag Nice ever before seen so great and imposing a funeral display—one that would compare with the obsequies of that modest plebeian woman . The pall was borne by four exiles , of four different nations , but united by tbo * same principles—an Italian , a Frenchman , a Russian , aud a PoL-mder . Tbey were followed by a group of ladies , four of them Venetians , then the daughter-in-law and grandchild of the ex-prcsident , Daniel Manin , and tho wife of a most eminent artist , Modena . The last was born on the other side of the Alps , but Italy loves to call her hers now , for what she did at Palma ar . d ' llome .

    There were also the wife of the distinguished veteran Pasetti , a gentle Roman , and several others . Behind them came a throng of I'aiians from all the provinces of Italy , all of which have worth y representatives , and some illustrious ones ; and many of those who have been expelled from France , and who are undeceived , but not changed ; with other men from other countries , all soldiers of the same flag , bound together in one love and tbe same faith , and , excited by the single desire to show respect , in the remains of a poor aged woman , to the dear and sacred name of Garibaldi .

    A solemn process ; on was surrounded and followed by the best , and , I say with pleasure , the largest part of tbe popula tion of Nice , all mournful ; aud , 1 repeat with pride , what funeral of a great man , in this city , ever equalled that of this poor woman ? Whero was tho Italian idea ever expressed with such affecting sympathy ? And who would dare to deny it , while seeing so uiuny people extend in the open country and wind up the path of tbe steep hill , there standing to prny for tho repose from her labours , who had educated such a son of Italy , and weeping and meditating ou an uncertain future , which God , in his mercv , may make speedy and happy . We adi nothing to these words . Yve think of the grief ofthe great exile , while we make this mournful announce , ment . These are things which have no words . It will belong to foreigners to comfort tbe afflicted heart of the Defender of Rome I To this account' L'Eco d ' Italia ' adds : —

    "Tnev write from Nice as follows : — ' The Advocate B . Eunice , Councillor of the municipality , G . Doldevi , ofthe National Guard , and A . Zmetti , a Venetian exile , have opened a subscription , to which all the Niceans and emi-» rants have contributed , to erect a monument on the tomb of Ito ? a Garibaldi , who knew how , in her poverty , to give to Italy , so :.-iithful a d .-frn-ier , and iltu- ' trious a citizen as Guisepj ^ Gai ibaldi .

    MONDAY , Jusb 14 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-The Chancellor took bis seat on the wool sack at fire o ' clock . Lord Maimesburv announced that government intended to withdraw the Extradition of Offenders Bill . On the motion for committing the Corrupt Practices at Elections Hill , Tbe Earl of Derb y moved two amendments . The first requiring the assent of the House of Lords to tbe issuing of any commi-sion of inquiry , was carried bv 73 to 34

    votes . Another against the provision which classes bribery and treating together was carried by 08 to 35 votes . Some other bills were advanced a stage , and the bouse adjourned at a quarter past twelve o ' clock . HOUSE OP COMMONS . —At the morning sitting , The SECRKTinr-ii-WAR read a letter of explanation from General Thomas in reference to the charge of military coercion in the late Enniskil ' en election , wherein he admitted canvassingin favour of Mr . Whiteside , but denied tliealleged intimidation . He ( the gallant Secretary ) considered General Thomas bad acted with imprudence , but that be had not been guilty of military intimidation .

    The remaining supply votes were then passed , including the grant for tbe pay and equipment of the new militia force . The Labuan vote gave rise to some discussion on tbe subject of a dispute between Sir J . Brooke and the Eastern Aschipelago Company . Secretary Sir J . Pakihotox intimated that legal proceedings were pending on the subject . Mr . O'Connor . —At the evening sitting a petition was presented from a sister of Mr . O'Connor ' s , praying for his liberation from the custody of the Sergeant , that he might be placed in a lunatic asylum . On the motion of Mr . Secretary Walpolb , a committee was appointed to inquire into the sanity of the honourable member .

    Mr . Secretary "Walpoie laid on the table tbe minutes of council altering tho management clauses of tho National Education ^ Grant . The right honourable gentleman , in answer to Air . C . lewis , announced that the Corporation of Lon on had submitted a plan to the Homo-office , which had been approved , to take Copenhagen Fields as the site for the new Smithfield Market . Mr . Hkslev intimated a probability of tbe introduction of a bill next year to prevent the evasion of the Joint-Stock act . Tub Outrage uro . v Mr , Matbbji—Lord John Russell ' s Review of rue Skssio . v . -Lord J Russell , on tho report of tho resolutions of supply , called attention to the case of Mr . Mather . He detailed the circumstances of tho outrage , and , after referring to the vacillating conduct of Lord

    Malmesbury , who in writing to Franco described the outrage as a wanton and unprovoked assault- , and in his despatch to Vienna called it a mere accidental circumstance , commented on the injury to tbo national character which must result from making questions involving the national honour matters of mere pecuniary consideration . He entered his protest against a course of conduct which ho f-lt must degrade the government of England in the eyes of Europe , but , adopting Lord Derby ' s language in reference to the late government and the affairs of Greece , ho would say , in the language of that noble lord . — " Surely it becomes the British legislature to step forward and to say that tbe Foreign-officD in England is not England—that the hi gh-minded generous English feeling of this great people is opposed to measures such as have been

    taken by the government of the country—that we separate our actions from theirs , our feclinss from theirs , our views of political matters , oar views of justice and good faith , from theirs . " So , sir , continued Lord John Russell , do I bog leave to separate my feelings of honour , of justice , and good faith , from tbe conduct that her Majesty ' s government have pursued in the case of Mr . Mather . ( Loud cheers . ) I beg leave to enter my protest against conduct which seems to me to degrade the government in tbe eyes of tbe world , which will not degrade this country because it takes a far better and far higher view than the government , of what is due to its character , and this I trust will be recollected before the government interfere again to . obtain redress for a British subject , I trust tbey will consider that in the present state of continental Europe this is almost tho

    only country where there can bo any free expressions of opinion , where a free press and free discussions in tbe legislature can be freely allowed . Because , though there aro the forms of constitutional government in several countries of Eur & f-, ¦ « ' bene forms are in some countries so perverted , and . i . b other instances , whero they are not perverted and where there is some real liberty , yet those countries themselves are so small and so dependent on their greater neighbours that no bold and open expression of opinion can be tolerated . In such territories as these no such pamphlets as tbat which , to his immortal honour , came last year from tbe right hou . gentleman , the member for the university of Oxford —( cheers)—could , I believe , be made public at the present time in any other country in Europe . If this is the case , it behoves us more especiallv to keep our

    character untainted and our honour untouched : it behoves us . if we are to come forward asking for redress to ask it mildly , to ask it with temper , but at the same time to insist upon that which wo believe to be our due . ( Bear , hear . ) It would be an inestimable loss , not only to this country but to the world , if our character as a great and independent nation should in any degree he lessened . ( Cheers . ) I trust , therefore , before the noble lord at the head of the Foreign office writes any such despatches as these again , he will consider how great is tho charge entrusted to bim , and that he will net lightly endanger those great interests and this high character by such headless expressions . ( Loud cheers . ) Turning to tho conduct of the government at home , Lord John Russell adverted to the studious concealment of their policy , the contradictory views expressed

    by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons and the Prime Minister at tbe Mansion-house , b y the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and the Solicitor-Genet-jl , who appealed to their constituents on Protection principles , and tho * e of their number who put forward the "big loaf . " Ho reminded the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the landlord party who talked of compensation , that the Corn Laws were not Imposed for the good of tbe landed interest , but for the national advantage , and when tbe national advantage was shown to be tho other way , there was no ground for continuing them or granting compensation . He complained that ministers had occasioned unnecessary differences by raising expectations of interference with the existing systems of national education in England and Ireland—with tUe Maynooth endowment , and other subjects . By having no settled opinion , but promising to re-open erery question , they were offering a premium to agitation , but it would be for the country to

    decide whether they could placo confidence in a government which had no principles of its own . Lord Stanley , defended the conduct of Lord Malmesbury in tbe Mather case , and explnined that the word " accidental" in tbat noble lord ' s despatch was meant to imply tbat the attack had nothing in it of a national character , though undoubtedly it was most unprovoked and brutal in its nature , lie entered largely into precedents , to shov that the claim for redress could only be made against the Tuscan government , and not against Austria , If tbe demand had been made upon Austria , it would have been a recognition of the Austrian occupation of Tuscany , which England had hever jet done , and gone far to increase the power of despotic governments in Europe . He denied there was anything of principle in the questioa of compensation —it was a mere matter of personal injury involving no national insult , and so considered Mr . Mather ' s first demand of £ 5 , 000 was unreasonable , and the reason Mr . Scarlett ' s acts had boen disavowed was not because be had taken a

    smaller sum , but because he had disclaimed tbe principle of the responsibility of Tuscany . Mr . Osborkk said he lamented the course which had been adopted by the noble lord the member for the City of London , because if over a case' was entitled to be considered upon its own merits , without including the general imbecility and incapacity of tbe government , it was tbe present one . ( " Hear , " and a laugh . ) The case of Mr . Mather , and the conduct of the noble lord who , to the great mister , tuno of the country , was installed in the Foreign Office , was a question of itself sufficient to engage the attention of the house , and had , in his opinion , been diluted by going into tho general transparent shuffling of the government . ( Hear , hear . ) He blamed the noble lord at tbe head of the government for not at once calling the Austrian

    government to account , instead of thus huckstering away tbe character of tbe country . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Scarlett asked whether pecuniary compensation would bo taken , Lor J Malmesbury in a most extraordinary reply said to Mr . Mather , " Do you wi-b mo to go to war ? " and in the true spirit of a pedler asked . " What will you take for your injury ? '' Mr . Mather replied that he did not wish to inske it a personal case , that the national honour was concerned , and for . tbat reason be mentioned £ 5 , 000 . What was Lorl Malmesbury ' s conduct then ? Did he say the demand was exorbitant ? No such thing . He bowed Mr . Mather out without giving him tbe least idea tbat be thought his demand exorbitant . Let tbem follow up this case . Ho then , behind Mr . Mather ' s back , writes a letter to Mr . Scarlett , savine , " This is an exorbitant demand , make it

    £ 1 , 000 . " £ 1 , 000 was the price at which Lord Malmesbury thought an Englishman might be cut down in tbe streets of Florence , and in this despatch , couched in most remarkable language , and in which the grammar was on a par with the feeling , he said that tbe price demanded was exorbitant , adding , " But you will see what can be got . " ( Laughter . ) Let the home picture to itself the noble lord below him writing such a despatch , and in such language , telling his minister to judge , " what may be got . " ( Cheers . ) What security was " there for the lives and honour of British subjects abroad when such ministers as Lord Malmesbury were at tbe Foreign-office ? The great boast of this country , the " civis Romauus sum , " was only a pretence while the government allowed men to be so degraded . To this day no contrition bad been expressed on the part of the Austrian officers . So far from that , they commended tho conduct of Lieutenant Forsthubcr , and ho was cried up as

    the hero of the army and the man who cut down the Lng-Jishman who was valued at £ 500 . He was also informed by some people from Florence that that officer was the hero of the hour , and that the health of Lord Malmesbury and Lieutenant Forsthubcr were constantly given together at the Austrian messes , ( "Hear , bear , " and laughter . ) Scarlett might he a very amiable man , but he was ~ not fit for his business ; and he ( Mr . Osborne ) would suggest to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that ho should solid bim to some quieter place where there were no Austrian troops ; and if there was any balf . piy list for tbe Foreign-office , to put Lord Mainietbury upon it . This was au act and a treatment of a Dritish subject such as had iu ver been surpassed . He ( Mr . Osborne ) was sorry that the question had been mixed up with any o : ber question , whether that of Protection or any other . It was a question great enough to interest the house i ' . Belf , and be regretted tbat by the forms

    of the house he was prevented moving a direct vote of censure on Lord Malmesbury —( loud cheers , and cries of " Move" )—for he had disgraced them , and lowered thorn in the eyos of tho whole continent of Europe . ( Cheers . ) Tho Marquis of Grasby referred to a number of statistics to prove the depression of the agricultural aud tho shipping interest under Free Trade , lie also endeavoured to show " by deducting tbo decrease of production from the increase of imports , tbat the consumption of wheat had fallen off by 400 , 000 quarters a year . If Protection were not restored , tbe pccular burdens pressing upon agriculture must he lessened . .,,,..,. r .... Lord Palversto . v said that this case , trom tbo beginning to the end , was not a comedy , but a tragedy , of " all in the . " Tho late government and the present government

    wrong bad both tikon a wrong view . The government ought to have demanded the punishment of the Austrian officer , and if ho had acted in accordance with tho regulations of his service then an apology was due from tho Austrian government and the national honour being satisfied , then the question of compensation to tbe individual would have arisen . He considered Mr . Scarlett was wrong in accepting less than tbe minimum fixed by his instructions , and that that minimum ( £ 500 ) was far too little . The proper course was to h ave demanded , and insisted upon , redress from tho Tuscan government ; and if Tuscany called in a foreign H arrison to make her responsible for tho acts of that garrison ; at the same time he was not sure that greater advantage might not havo been obtained in tho way of eximnlp bv making Austria responsible for the niisdeads of

    her own soldiers . However , it was considered best to treat with tho Tuscan government , and to accept of a money reparation the British government should have said , " We will take the money , and whatever you may say about nonresponsibility , we will make you remember that you are responsible : we will compel you to give adequate compensation , and we do not care a pin for your saying that vou are not responsible . ' ' ( Hear , hear . ) \ Yo should say vou aro responsible , and we will make you responsible . ( Hear . ) There might bo some value in reading this lessen to Tuscany , but the lesson would be far greater in nn European sense if we said to Austaia , if you take advantage of your superior force and occupy Tuscany with your garrison wo will hold you responsible for the conduct of that garrisonand if you misbehave we will not look lo the

    , weaker government , on which yon havo imposed your garrison for satisfaction . ( Hear , hear . ) I desire , sir , to seo the independence of Tuscany , and those papers called attention to the unfortunate state of a largo portion of Ihe Italian peninsula . ( Hear , bear . ) The Italian people were endowed with great and eminent qualities ; they possessed great intellectual ability , and when the opportunity was afforded they produced men who , as statesmen and warrors , were as full of capacity as those of jiny part of Europe . ( Hear , boar . ) I apprehend it is because they have not bad this opportunity of late year ? that Italy did not produce such eminent men . It is lamentable to see the state of Tuscany , of the Roman States , and of IV . 'tp ' es . ( Hear , hem : } In those states the greatest rnisgovernraent prevails , and when Austria is reproached

    for the condition of Italy , she draws a comparison between tbat part of Italy which is under her control and the condition of the people in those states which I have mentioned ; but like tbe gentleman from tbe sister island , who ordered his bootmaker to make him two pairs of boots , one pair to be larger than the other , and then complained that instead tho m » n had made him one pair smaller than tho other —( laughter)—the Austrian government ought not to say tbat tbo part of Italy under her control was hotter off than the other parts , but that the other parts of Italy were woreo off than that which sho governed ., ( Hear , hear . ) I fcoliovo there never was such an example of such a system of misgovernment , of illegality , of violence , and abuse of power , as that which now prevailed in Naples and the Roman States . ( Hear , hear . )

    It is a disgrace to modern Europe . ( Cheers . ) In Tuscany things are not so bad , but peoplo were exposed there to acts of licentious violence from a foreign garrison , for which there was no redress , and a state of things existed and was submitted to which , if it happened in this country , would rouse tbe indignation of every man in the country . France occupied Rome and Austria occupied Tuscany , and the legations , and one would not leavo till tho other had left . They were told tbat this state of things would end in May , but May was anticipated by December . May has now passed . I therefore entreat her Majesty ' s government to exert their influence on this subject and in favour of an interesting and intelligent people . It is said that disturbances would take place if these foreign troops wore withdrawn , but I ask the house toreoollect what took

    place in 1831 and 1832 , when the sovereigns of Italy were advised to make concessions to the people ofthe five great powers—France , England , Russia , Prussia , and Austria . If those concessions wore yielded , I do not believe tho present state of thing * could exist ; . and I think that her Majesty ' s government may attempt something of the kind now . If they took it up in tho spirit in which I am sure they are disposed to do , great good would follow from their infcerfarence .. ( Cheers . ) The CnANCELLon of the Exchequer defended the course taken by Lord Malmesbury in tho Mather case . I hear , observed Mr . Disraoli , great delicacy expressed about a man taking money where an outrage of this kind bds been committed . Why , it is the only mode recognised in this country by which a reparation can be made . Why , gentlemen , in this country , on subjects in which thoir most

    delicate honour is concerned , appear before courts , and accept pecuniary damages . ( " Hear , hear , " and laughter . ) Does anybody suppose , when damages are tendered under such circumstances , that they aro offered as a reparation for the wrong complained of ? They are offered because tbat is the mode by which , according to tho custom of this country , a certain punishment can be inflicted upon the person who has done the injury , and at the same time a certain reparation offered to the person who is injured . Tho noble lord has called our attention to the state of Italy . But the noble lord spoke in a tone as though the government wore responsible for this . The state of Italy is no worse than wo found it , The noblo lord has been making these speeches on Italy for a considerable time ; and very just are bis observations , and very ingenious his policy : but tho

    state of Italy has not been improved hitherto either by the councils or the conduct of the noblo lord . ( Hear , hear . ) The noble lord has not only made speeches on the state of Italy ; he has even sent somo of his friends on a mission into that country . ( Hear , hear . ) But when we seo that after all tbe efforts o' a man of tho vast ability and experience of the noblo lord the state of Italy is rather aggravated than not , her Majesty ' s government are sensible that they must proceed with very great deliberation . ( Hear , hear . ) That the time may come when the fairest part of Europe may not be possessed by the hostile garrisons of foreign countries is a result which every man must desire who has the least sympathy for freedom , or who feels grateful for what Italians Dave done for modern civi . isation . ( ioud cheers . ) I do not think it is necessary to say more

    upon the subject that is before the house . Turning to homo policy , Mr . Disraeli denied having ever held tho opinion that the corn laws wore imposed to keep up rents ; but be contended that laws which imposed burdens on land which other interests were not liable to were unjustifiable . Speaking to Lord John ' s condemnation of ministera in using education and religion for party purposes , twitted himjwith his own conduct on the appropriation clause ; and in reference to a charge of taking tho education voto before producing the minute which interferred with tbe management clauses , said that except in one previous case such minutes had never been produced until long after the

    voting of tbe grant . He denied that the party now in power recommended a recurrence to tbo laws existing before 1840 , regretting as they did tbo changes then made both in regard to corn and sugar—and , however favourable he might be to a fixed duty on corn , bo was not prepared to make an unpopular tax , which was not a principle after all , but a measure—the basis of the ministerial policy . The object of the government was to do justice to those classes who were unjustly treated by the policy of 1846 , and that without disturbing tho existing settlement . Lord D . Stuart charged the Foreign . office with having pandered to Austria at tbe expense of this country and Mr . Mather .

    The discussion was terminated by tho motion for reporting the supply votes being affirmed . At two o ' clock in the morning an attempt was made to bring ou tho adjourned debate on the Maynooth grant , which was met by a determined stand by the Irish members , and , after several divisions , a further adjournment took place . Tho house adjourned at throe o ' clock . TUESDAY , Junb 15 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Earl of Debby . moved tbe second reading of tho Militia Bill , and after reminding the house tbat the increase in the estimates attendant on some such measure had been alluded to in tbo speech from the Thronr-, that the necessity of the measure itself had been distinctly mentioned in the debate on the address , and that there was an universal concurrence on both sides of the

    house that with a view to our protection from a possible foreign aggression tho defences of tbe country required to be placed on a footing of greater efficiency , proceeded to say : —That on the first occasion on which ha addressed the house as a minister of the Crown , he expressed the belief which ho then entertained , . and which subsequent circum-Btauuus had tended still further to increase and strengthen , in the personal pacific disposition of the present ruler of the French Republic . If they were to ask him whether , from any anticipation of hostility proceeding from the Prince President , be asked for additional measures of defence , he should answer that inquiry with a most distinct and absolute negative . If they wont on to ask him whether he considered that the state of France and of the continent of Europe was so firml y established and free from liability of interruption as to render it possible for thorn to rely on that which might take place from other causes than the actual disposition of the rulers of France , he should answer such a question with much more qualification than he

    should a question with regard to tho personal predilection to the Fr nee Pre .-ilent . Ho could not shut bis eyos to tbe fact that frequent changes had taken place of late years in the government of France , and to the fact tbat in that country many unquiet spirits were now kept down by tbe stern rule of discipline , and were impatient of the control to which fcney were subjected , among whom would be found many who were not at all friendl y to this country . ( Hoar , hear . ) If they asked him fur ther whether , in that state of things , and looking to tbo great naval and military resources of France—to her nearness to this country , and the large amount of force which in a short period she could , if so disposed , throw on our shores—looking at all these circumstiuices , if they asked him whether " he thought they ought to be content with our present scanty provision against the possibility of invasion , ho should answer that by saying that it would be the height of folly and madness if we were so content , with the probability of any contingency , however remote and unlikilv , which should , for tho

    Monday, Jusb 14. House Of Lords.-The Cha...

    first time for centuries , inflict on this country tho possibility of a hostile descent on our coasts . ( Hear , bear . ) Under all the circumstances , tho duty of the government was plainly to consider , not whether a measure of this kind was popular or unpopular , but how an efficient force could best be raised , or at anv rate a force which could bo made efficient in the shortest ' possible space of time . Tho noble earl then entered in detail into the circumstances which bad induced tho government to prefer the resuscitation ot tho militia to an augmentation of the regular army , and concluded by expressing his hope that the house would givo its sanction to a measure which , though differing in soma of its details from that originally proposed , had yet , as far as its princi ple was concerned , obtained n very general concurrence .

    Tll ( : Marquis of Laxsoowxe agreed with Lord Derby in thinking that the oounfrv ought not to be left in its present insecure condition , but while he abstained from opposing the measure he could not refrain from cxpres-ing tho doubt which he felt at its efficacy . If tho emergency oc bSiPi 1 ? ™ s intended to provide , it would ? AnK ' f 0 l " . th !» t ^ wero ei ^ i ced in an unequal ? Mc „ nVlf ^ UndlscH > lincd against disciplined troops . For this and other reasons ho confessed thai tbe most eUcicnt KSJi « , ^ ' " rouM havc bt ; e » ™ i ™ ' ^ i » X » I S t 7 ' an - ' ° U ? ^ » W «•« im pwfeo ; n . easure pass , it would not be the onlv means ' . dopt .-d for planing : the country m a props ,- position of security . 1 he Duke of Wuttwaios .-aid he was tho lait man to

    hesitate as to the relative merits of well disciplined and lialfdiscipiinod troops . The things were not tobo compared at all . Ion could have confidence that tho disciplined troops would perform what they were ordered to do , while witi ) undisciplined troops tbe ch inces were that they would d i the very reverse of what was expected from tbexn . But on this occasion tho state of the cou itrv must be considered , which though at p- \ ice with all ' the world , had never so far as its army was concerned , maintained a proper peace establishment . Let us , thou , while we were at peace , make a beginning and return to the militia , our old constitutional peace establishment . Though this militia might be undisciplined at first , it would in time fat come what its predecessors had been , lie finest troops in tho world . The noble maronis savs vorv trulv that thnsn

    w . OOO , or 80 , 000 , or 120 , 000 men will not be fit for active service in six months , or twelve mouths—not in eightosa months , I say . ( Hear , hear . ) But , my lords , they will be fit for somo service . They will set us at lib rty . ' andenablo us to employ in the field others who aro fit tor service . ( Cheers . ) And being so employed , they will themselves become fit for service . ( Hear , he , n \) I havo boen in the habit , of seeing , in tbo course of tbe late war , some regiments of the English militia-men . Thoy were in as > " ? li « state ofdiscipline awl as fit for service as anv men . ( Hear , hear . ) I never , in my life saw finee troops . ( Hear . ) It was impossible to see troops in liner order , higher dis * cm . me , or more fit for service , than the whole bndv of the untisb militia were , from the beginning of tho " present century up tolSll ) . They were as n ' nc corp * as evw wero

    seen ; and I do not doubt that this bodv of oO . OOO , or 80 , 000 , whatever it may be , will bo so in tho course of time , ( near , hear . ) But everything has its begi . ning , and this is the commencement . ( Cheers , and "hoir " . ) I say , much as I admire disciplined troops , and more particularly disciplined troops , 1 tell you you must not suppose that others cannot become disci plined ; and I havo no doubt , if you commence with the formation of a corps under this Act or Parliament tbey will in lime become what the former militia wore- ( hear , hear ) -and if tbey ever become what the former militia were , you may rely upon them for performing all the duties they niav ever bo c . \ llcd upon to perform . ( Cheers . ) My lords , J appe . Ho you to adopt tins measure as the commencement of the completion of your peace establishment . ( Hearhear . ) It will give you

    , a constitutional force . ( Hear , hear . ) It will not bo at nrst , nor for some time , all that you may desire ; but by degrees it will become that which wo want—an additional force to tho regular army . Earl Gnt-r did not believe thai tbo force to be created by tho bill would bo adequate to tho defeice of lbs country . The militia raised during tbe war had proved merely an increase of the regular army , had been found quite as expensive , and tad pressed very severely on the working classes . If that was the case there was no good reason why they should not wait until war began to raise such a force , and then embody them . They did not want , as in former days , to organise a force which , after the war had gone on a few years , might replace the regular army ; but the danger they had to guard against was a sudden attack , and he asked

    then- Lordships whether the new militia would enable them to do so . Tho present was a period of great ft inquillity , arising from the general welfare , but such a happy state of things could not always be calculated on ; and what would be tbe result when new troubles and excitements arose of giving to the least trustworthy portion of the population a knowledge of military discipline ? The bill brought forward by tho late government was essentially different from tho present measure and the opposition now offered to ifc could not be regarded as involving any inconsistency . He considered it a most unfortunate circumstance that at the closo of tbo war the local militia was abandoned . He la « mented the deficient state of tbe police in many counties , and expressed his opinion that the discipline of that force ought to have been raised by grants trom the public revenue . He believed that volunteer rifle corps also might

    have been made a far more useful arm of defence than that now contemplated in the event of any sudden emergency . The Earl of Elmbmere drew the attention ofthe house , in the first place , to the necessity of such a measure , which he contended was generally concurred in . There were in France , as in England , many roads to spurious and temporary popularity , and among them existed one which pointed to an invasion of this country . He bad seen no desire whatever on tho part of the person who now ruled in France to adopt such an expedient ; but , he , nevertheless , in tbe existing state of tho two countries , thought tbat we ought to be prepared against ail emergencies . Ho could not say that either of the two bills for raising a militia that bad been brought forward would supply an offijient field force , but for many purposes tbe force so created would bo very useful , aud therefore be would support tbe bill .

    After a few words from Earl WiLDEonAVE the bill was read a second time , and the house adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-At tbe morning sitting tho subject of tho debate upon Maynooth College was revived on tho question of bringing up the report ofthe Committee of Supply . Mr . Keooh inqured whether Mr . Fpooner intended to replace upon tbe votes the order for resuming the adjourned debate , which by tbe abrupt adjournment of the bouse at three o ' clock tbat morning was left in a state of suspended animation . Mr . SrooxER replied that ho was content to let the division already had bo a . decision on tbe main question , A long and somewhat angry discussion succeeded , in tho course of which the Socretary-at-War , with some warmth replied to Mr . Osborne , charging him in turn with attacking not only governments but individuals , and entitled him the Thersites of Middlesex .

    The discussion went on for a full hour , and at last produced no result , except that Mr . Spooner intimated thai be did not mean to take any further step in tho matter . The report was brought up and agreed to . Mr . O '& ysson . —On the motion of Sir Yf . Jomfm ( iu tbe absence of Mr . Walpole ) , the following gentlemen were nominated to serve on a select committee on the petition respecting Feargus O'Connor , Esq .: Mr . Walpole , Mr . V . Smith , Mr . "Whiteside , Mr . Balnea , Mr . Mills , the i O'Gorman Mahon , and Mr . M . J , O'Connett . Crime and Outraoi ; ik Irkiand . —Mr , Napiee , in moving ; for leave to bring'in a bill to continue the act of 1847 for t the better prevention of crime and outrage in certain parts a

    of Ireland , gave an outline of the nature and provisions 8 of that act , with a description of the circumstances of Ire-1 « land when it was introduced ; and then drew an appalling g picture of the agrarian outrages—which bad doubled in n number since 1817—tbe threatening notices , tbo murders rs for which no conviction could be obtained , juries being , he . 19 said , intimidated from performing their duties . In this ia state of things , when tbo ordinary Jaw was insufficient for ) r the protection of life and property , the house , be thought , , t , would incur a fearful responsibility if it refused to continue io this act for a limited period . Mr . Lawlkss should oppose the introduction of such a a bill , unaccompanied by any measure for ameliorating tha ia condition of Ireland .

    Mr . F . Scuixt considered it unfair to introduce the bill ill before tbe evidence which had been taken by the Committee ee was in the hands of members . Mr . S . Crawford likewise called for remedial measures es before coercive ones were enacted . Tho whole cause of of agrarian outrages in Ireland , he believed , was to be be found in tbo disordered relations between landlord andnd tenant . Mr . Aaam insisted tbat the bill would ba vexatiouaiua in its action , while it would not put down Ribandi ' sm ^ m , and tbat what Ireland wanted was remedial measures . Mr . Kkoou complained that tbe present government , int , notwithstanding former professions , had introduced no m > measures for the redress of the grievances of Irelandjnd ,, except this coercive measure , against the severe penaltiestiesi of wbioh ho inveighed .

    The CHAscEUon of tbe Exchequer denied that this waswasi a measure of coercion « it was a measure of police , whiomiobi was expiring , and tbe condition of Ireland required itd itscontinuance . Upon a division , the motion for leave to bring in the bib billi was carried by 140 against 19 . The morning sitting did not terminate until nearly five fiv « o clock . At the evening pitting , Mr . Assm rose to move a resolution to the effect tbaltbatl tho case ofthe Rev . Messrs . Wingate , Smith , and Edwardmrd ! expelled from the Austrian dominions for prompt ant ante earnest measures on the part of her Majesty ' s governverni ment , and was entering into long details of their casi cas « when tho house was counted out , at a quarter to eigheighv o ' clock .
