Serguant Cavanaoh. Ill Answer To Mr. Frk...
THE BRITISH BANK DIRECTORS . In answer to Colonel Stuart , the Attorney-General paid he h ^ d never hesitated in his determination to proceed with the prosecution of the Directors of the Koyal British Bank . ADDRESS ON THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS- KOYAI « - Lord Palmerston moved an address of congratulation to the Queen on the marriage of . the Princess Royal . He proposed that this should be presented by the whole House . Mr . Disraeli seconded the motion , which was agreed to , and ordered to be taken up to her Majesty at three o ' clock to-morrow ( this day ) . THE REFUGEE QUESTION .
Mr . Roebuck asked whether there had been any communication between the Emperor of the French and the Government on the subject of the recent attempt at assassination of the Emperor . He referred , to the addresses which had appeared in the Monitetir , containing accusations against England as participating in that attempt . Whatever was published in the Moniteur must be taken to be the reflex of the mind of the Emperor . England had been called a den of assassins ; and nobody could speak better on this subject than the Emperor , who had been a refugee here , and * a conspirator against the reigning monarch of France . The brother of the Emperor , M . de Morny , and M . Persigny ,
the Ambassador , had dared to make the same accusation ; and the latter had not been answered , probably because the person who heard him did not understand him . He ( Mr . Roebuck ) , however , would answer him , and say that , highly as he estimated the alliance of England and France , he estimated higher the honour of England , and that no Englishman would lend his countenance to assassination . It was said that , at the solicitation of the Emperor , our Alien Law was about to be altered ; but , if we changed the law , we violated the first principle of the Constitution . It seemed that the law of conspiracy was to be altered , and he should like to know the reason .
Lord Palmerston , said that there had been a despatch from the Foreign Secretary of France to the Ambassador here , urging that the facts should be laid before t"he English Government , and asking whether any remedy would be adopted for such a case . Pie would bring that despatch before the House . He defended M . Persigny from Mr . Roebuck ' s attack , stating that his communications with the Government had been highly proper . He would not anticipate the discussion on this subject , which would come on on Monday . Mr . Hohsman regretted the tone of Lord Palmerston ' s speech . He protested against the imputations which the noble Lord had cast on Mr . Roebuck , lie hoped that all papers on the subject would be laid before the House , and also the opinion of the law officers of the Crown . Mr . Roekvck , in reply , said his violent language amounted only to saying that the people of England had been insulted by the Emperor of the French . ANNUITY TO UDV IIAA'ELOCK AX » SIR HENRY HAVKIX > CK . After a short discussion , a resolution was agreed to granting an annuity of 1000 / . each to Lady Ilavelock and the present Sir Henry Havelock . EAST INDIA LOAK . Mr . Vernon Smith brought in a bill to enable the East India Company to raise a loan of ten millions on debentures in this country .. —After a brief discussion , leave was given to bring in . the bill .
THIS GOVERNMENT OF INDIA . Lord Pai . merston gave notice that next Friday ho should bring in a bill to regulate the Government of India . The House adjourned at eight o ' clock .

Ministers In The House Of Commons. The P...
MINISTERS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS . The position of the Ministry in the House of Commons is the position of Lord Paimeesto : n \ The only opposition which he has to encounter is the opposition of his own foibles . He has marked out for him many grand successes by the opportunities of the day ; it lies -with him to take them , or to
waive them , at his pleasure . Unless we adopt the doctrine of the predestinarian , and believe that the-votes of this session are prearranged , the fate of the Minister was a settled question even on Thursday last . Pamebston seems destined to succeed , in proportion as he permits himself distinctly to recognize the facts of each case , and boldly obeys the dictate of common sense . He showed last session that he . could overbear
the resistance of the Commons by all the ordinary tricks which prevail in that assembly . He will be beaten , it is pretty clcrr , only by himself ; and already we can , in some degree , aiiticipate the probabilities of his deeline . Strong in his natural constitution , clear-headed in perception rather than in intellectual cogitation , by nature he thoroughly sympathizes with the English character ; but his diplomatic training has removed him from English political society ; and in the fulness of yeara he has been a
mere apprentice at veritable English politics . But the principal questions to which the course of events has brought his Government nre , with one exception , thoroughly English questions . Especially so , as an Irishman , might any , is the French question , which hns become the foremost on the meeting of Parliament . An attempt has been made to assassinate the Emperor Napoleon . The English people hate assassination , which is exiled from our land"by the force of public opinion . We think so meanly of the ruffians , that when we catch them , after the fact , we hang them , and when we catch them in the attempt we whip them . But we never assume a man
guilty until he is proved so , publicly , before a legal court ; " and if we hate assassins , we hate any attempt to make us alter our institutions at foreign dictation . Diplomatic considerations , perhaps , and diplomatic conscience make our Prime Minister not unwilling 1 to TW 6 Wjr "" Wr ~ crT ^ France . It is a delicate attempt , that—to pass a bill through the two Houses of Parliament which shall satisfy France and not arouse the national pride of England againab the Emperor and all his friends on either sido of the water . It is a very precarious position upon which the gay and dashing Premier has ventured . Tho principal regular measure of tho
session is the bill for placing her Majesty ' s dominions in India tinder the direct Government of the Crown . Lord Palmebston is pledged to that . He is going to attempt it . He arouses against him all the friends of the East India Company ; all the established Opposition , all the Peelites whose views are of a diiferent tendency , all the Members in both Houses-that take an interest in India without feeling a keen interest in the welfare of her Majesty ' s Ministers , all the Independent Radicals feel a jealousy of Patronage , accumulated in the hands of the friends of * Dctwb . '
The legislation on the subject of the Bank Charter is one that depends not upon the G-overnment but upon the House of Commons , upon the report of the Committee , and upon the general state of opinion amongst those persons who are masters of the subject . It is not so with Parliamentary Reforma question which Lord Palmebston begged permission last session to appropriate to himself . He asked the Liberal party and the consistent friends of Beform to let him be the Beformer-in-Chief ; they avenged
themselves for his stopping their bills by consenting : —by throwing upon him all the responsibility—by allowing him . to be the framer of the measure which the whole country is now awaiting . In the meanwhile reformers of all shades and grades—the reformers of the old school of ' 31 , who think that the bill of Lord John Russell now requires an appendix , the reformers of the Manchester school , the reformers of the Birmingham school , of the Moderate school , of the Chartist school , and every school in the country , have been talking with themselves and with each
other to ascertain in some degree the scope and dimensions of the bill which they expect Almost all the great towns have been thus sounding the depths of their own desires , and the whole country stands ready to expect a great measure at the hands of that statesman , who , as Foreign Secretary , has always endeavoured to wash his hands of Reform . The position o ? Lord Palmerstok , and therefore of his Cabinet , hu _ snw been staked upon these three questions—the Beform Bill , the India Bill , and the Alien Bill .
'Measures Oe Safety' In Erance. If The F...
' MEASURES OE SAFETY' IN ERANCE . If the French Emperor be desirous of picking a quarrel with England , and mean to make the Refugee question the pretence , he is not very careful to secure approval from the candid or the indifferent . We might almost say that there is a sort of reckless insolence in his present behaviour , as if he
meant it clearly to be understood that he considers the attendance of reason on might to be purely superogatory . At one and the same time ho is blaming England , through his ambassador , for not watching over the French exiles who have sought our protection , and submitting laws to his Council of State which contain the threat of exile to whole classes oil
his subjects . Whither are these new exiles to wend their way ? If they be such dangerous characters as not to be tolerated in France , why should wo bo condemned to receive them , and not only ho , but to watch over them , divine their secret thoughts , penetrate their intentions , and alter our fundamentaWnwBr in-oi « dep ,-at-aj ^ y-gLvjWJUflttWB | i . which has
to givo them back to tho hand thrust them away ? The Project ot Law diacussod and approved by tho Council of Sfcnfco creates many new crimes and now piiniwUmonts-. Any ' cfne , for example , who * practises manoeuvres , or entertains intelligences , either abroad or at home , ' with tho object of exciting hatred or contempt against the Imperial Government
