      House Of Lords. —Friday, Nov. 26. The Lo...

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Friday , Nov . 26 . The Lord Chancellor took his snat on the woolsack at five o ' clock . THE AMERICAN FISHERIES QUESTION . In answer to a question from Lord Wharncliffe , Lord Malmesbury said that the _negotiations on the subject of the North American Fisheries -were not yet concluded , and that he could not , therefore , lay the papers and correspondence on the table of the house .

      The House adjourned at an early hour . ROUSE OF COMMONS . —Friday , Not . 26 . The Speaker took the chair at four o ' clock . The Chancellor of the Exchequer fixed that day week as the most convenient day for making his financial statement . Some questions and formal business were then dispesed of . THE ADJOURNED DEBATE , On the motion for resuming the adjourned debute on commercial legislation ,

      Mr . _Milneb Gibson , in _tne course of an energetic speech , reviewed the main points of the question , and contended that Mr . Yilliers was not only , of all members of the house , the one most competent and most entitled to originate a motion on which free trade was for the future to contend , but that he was of all others the man who would give most weight to such a motion with the country . The inconsistency of the government with regard to the question deprived them of all claim to carry a

      motion of the kind . It was all very well to talk about forbearance aud consideration , but it was impossible to spare the feelings of the government without sanctioning their conduct . His advice to the government , if they valued the opinion of the country , was to yield the point , and not to lead the . people to believe the representative system to be more rotten than if really is—a belief that might lead to agitation and disturbance in the country . He urged the liberals of all sections to rally round their proper leader for the furtherance of their general interests .

      Mr . Gaskell objected to the motion of Mr . Yilliers , as inflicting a stigma upon a body of honourable gentlemen . Wiry did they not mxke it a vote oi want of confidence at once . ] \ fr . S . Herbert stated that between the two motions brought at first before the house he could not have had the slightest hesitation . On the one hand was the old and tried friend of free trade , and on the other a government in whom he had no confidence . As far as the Chancellor of the Exchequer was concerned , he did not believe that the right hon .. gentleman had particularly changed his views , because he did not think that he had ever any belief in protectection—he only fancied he had at one time ; but it was different with

      other members of the government . But he had calculated at any rate that the avowal of the change would have been couched in frank , plain and intelligible language . The Queen ' s _SpeecLwas vague , and the motion , of the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not tend to . make it clearer . He ( Mr . Herbert ) did not consider it necesssry to keep the consciences of the government—to bind them to any guiding principle . It was for the friends of free trade to state what their opinions were ; aud if the government did not enter into those views they must take the consequeuces . But _although he himself believed entirely ia the motion of Mr . YiUiers lie

      considered the terms of Lord Palmerston ' s resolution the stronger of the two . After paying an earnest tribute to the memory of his political chief and personal friend , Sir Eobert Peel , the right hon . gentleman , alluding to calumniations cast upon him by certain political opponents , said it was not for them to avenge him . Retribution must come in deeds , not in words . It was painful to witness the humiliation of any human being ; but if [ they did wish to see humiliation , without any act or word on their part , they had only to cast their eyes opon the treasury benches . He concluded by supporting the amendment of Lord Palmerston ,

      Mr . H . Drtooiond expressed himself in favour of a similar course . Mr . Muntz , although he had always opposed the corn laws , was not much in favour of either resolution . For in the first place he was not of opinion that the repeal of the corn laws was the main cause of the prosperity of the country ; and in the next , he was not sure that the prosperity would continue . He had known as prosperous periods before , even under the corn laws , and the present prosperity was mainly attributable to the large importation of gold . As a matter of preference he gave his support to the amendment of the noble viscount

      The Marquis of Granby denied that the prosperity of the country was to be attributed to free trade . He traced it to two principal causes—the gold that was coming into the country , and the emigrants who were going out . Mr . H . Fitzroy would prefer that both resolutions should be withdrawn , in order to remove a subject of contention that destroyed the harmonious agreement of the house upon a great subject . But under the circumstances of the case , it was necessary that he should support one side or the other ; and he had accordingly no hesitation in givina his support to Mr . Yilliers , as the mover of a straitforward resolution * that must be _ineligible to everybody , and as the successful originator and advocate of free trade . &

      Mr . Kendall opposed both resolutions , on protection grounds . Mr , Blackett of the two resolutions prefered that of the hon . member for _Wolverhampton . Colonel - Sibthorp —who declared his opinions unchanged on the subject of free-trade—made a violent onslaught upon that system , under which the great interests of the country were at present groaning . The supporters of that measure , when they could do nothing else for the foreigner , gave him a Great Exhibition , the principal effect of which had been to spread disease in the metropolis . He found it necessary to he very cautious as to the trust he placed in resolutions , which emanated from either side of the house , and feeling so deeply as he did on the ppesent occasion , he should not vote for anything . He should certainly oppose the motion of the hon . member for Wolverhainpton , and when the amendment was proposed he should walk out of the house . Mr . Warner thought some resolution such as that ef the hon . member for Wolverhainpton was very much needed . To that motion then , he should give his cordial support .

      House Of Lords. —Friday, Nov. 26. The Lo...

      Sir James Graham said that since he was in the house on the previous evening , he found that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had consented to withdraw his amendment in favour of that of Lord Palmerston , to which he was now understood to accede . ¦ He reminded the right hon . gentleman that in doing so he was denying that any important interest was injured by free trade . Now , he understood the right hon . gentleman to have said that he still retained his old opinions as to sugar ; yet surely the "West India interest was an important interest , and sugar formed a portion of the food of the ' people .

      He made a pointed attack upon the ministry , aud particularly upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer for general inconsistency and equivocation . He had told them of the share which he had taken in the preparation of the _resolutions before the house . He had now to choose between them , and mmjli as it pained hiu to vote against his hon . friend Mr . Yilliers , he felt bound to support the amendment of the noble lord . With , regari to the question of compensation , he was persuaded that the plea was a false one , and he was determined that it should never have his support . ¦ the in of

      Mr . Phillips addre _^ ed house favour the amendment amidst great confusion allusions to time , and to the propriety of dividing . Lord John Russell jwished to say a few words before the house divided . Eeviewing some of the incidents of the debate of the preceding night , he maintained _, that any party character which the question mig ht have assumed ha < . been given to it by the government ; as for his hon . friend the meni ) er for Wolverhampton , he had been , of the two , a little two impartial . With regard to the resolutions before the house , they were both _exceedingly well framed , and agreed together

      in all their objects ; thejore , he was inclined to prefer that of Mr . Villiers , both as having a prior claim , aud being prepared by so trustworthy a friend of free trade But so nearly were the two resolutions balanced , that if the resolution of the noble lord stood in the- same place as that of Mr . Yiljiers , he should be equally disposed to support it . Referring to charges which had been thrown out against him ( the noble lord ) , of inconsistency , in having once proposed an eight shilling duty upon corli , he reminded the government that Lord Derby had on that occasjon voted against him , and after the corn laws were abolished altogether , had himself come forward and

      proposed a duty of only 5 s . With regard to the principle of compensation . If a . benefit was to be conferred , let it be large aud general , aud not special and _particular . The farmers had for years been deceived by those who had talked to them about Protection , when they must _haro known that the thing was impossible ; and who had succeeded only in keeping up fruitless agitation , and leaving the question unsettled up to the present time . The noble lord especially alluded to the Chancellor of the Exchequer , and referring to the financial scheme now in preparation , advised the liberal party to keep a strict watch lest the right hon . gentleinan should prove as fatal to Free Trade as he had proved to Protection .

      Mr . Walpole made soiiie observations in explanation and denial , in reference to some insinuations thrown out by Lord John Russel against his political consistency . He denounoudced the resolution of Mr . Yilliers as offensive aud unfair , and with regard to the general subject , was still of opinion that—whatever might be present appearanees—the repeal of the corn laws was a sudden and hazardous

      measure : Mr . Cobden , who spoke to an impatient auditory , deprecated Lord Palmerston ' s amendment as tending to divide the liberal party in the house , and to convey a false impression in the country of the influence of . the government in that assembly . Addressing himself to the general question , he taunted the government severely with inconsistency and equivocation towards their foes , and for practising deception towards the farmers , their friends . The hon . gentleman . met with determined interruption from the ministerial side of the house , which rendered him frequently inaudible . Mr . Butt made ¦ an indignant protest against what he considered the offensive tone of the remarks which had fallen from Mr . Cobden .

      Mr . Gladstone denied what had been stated by Mr . Cobden , that the question between the two resolutions was , whether the principle of compensations , should or should not be entertained . The difference between the two resolutions was , that one was inoffensive to neMly every political section in the house , while the other was calculated to hurt the feelings and to cast an insult upon a body of gentlemen , who were entitled , at any rate , to courtesy . After an address from Mr . Newdegate , which was listened to very unwillingly , and met with continual interruption ,

      Mr . Yilliers , in the course , of abrief reply , 'defended his resolution , with great humour , from the aspersions which had been cast upon ii . He was afraid , however that the opposition to the resolution was not without its meaning , and that some substitute for protection was contemplated by the government . Lord Palmerston made au explanation with regard to some references in Mr . Yilliers ' s speech to his ( Lord Palmerston ' s ) supposed concurrence in the terms of the resolution before it was brouoht forward . He ( the noble lord ) had certainly seen the resolution m ques - tion , and had objected to that portion of it which had given rise to the amendment .

      Mr . Gladstone , to whom Mr . Yilliers , had also referred , made a similar explanation . After a few words of explanation from Mr . Yilliers , the House divided , when the numbers were : For the original motion - - - - - 250 Against it - - - - 330 Majority 80 For Lord Palmerston ' s amendment - - -468 Against it - -- _____ 53 Majority - - - 415 The House t hen adjourned .
