ductidh bi witnessed & c ., would ent & il expense , ^ nd , reiider the convention inoperative . Still soihethhig analogous to the evidence required by English lawought to be demanded . He could not pay whether the mise en accusation would meet that demand . Lord Beaumont observed , that by the new convention the President of Prance was to 'issue his decree for the surrender of Englishmen charged with crimes "if he found due cause ; " and he thought the same discretion ought
to be given to the English Government ., He trusted the present bill would not be proceeded with ; but the Duke of Aegyii thought that the security which all were anxious to obtain with regard to political offenders would be gained to a certain extent if the Secretary of State were intrusted with a discretionary power ; and he thought it a matter of primary importance that the Secretary of State should have such a power .
Af ter this the House went into committee . The Earl of ABEBiJEEir and Lord Beaumont thought that before the House proceeded , they ought to know how the bill really stood , as the proposed amendments were not yet printed . Lord Debby replied , that one of the amendments would be to enable the contracting parties to make the convention consonant with the act ; further alleging , that the convention had been drawn up by some of the ablest lawyers of both countries ; and pettishly insinuating that if half-a-dozen conventions were
framed , there would be objections to every one ; The Earl of Aberdeen , somewhat nettled ] retorted that the existing convention had been drawn up by men quite as able as they who had drawn tip the new one ; and yet it had failed . As to the amendments * he must see them before he could judge of them . It waasornething new in legislation , what had no existence , and to say that their lordships must either approve or disapprove of that with respect to which they had no means of judging . ( Hear . )
The Lorb CHAKCEttOB explained , that their lordships were called iipon to decide the extent to which they would give effect to a treaty which had actually been made by her Majesty , by the advice of her servants , and what was proposed by the proviso was , that if a supplementary treaty should "be agreed to in order to bring the . principal treaty within the . limits' which their lbrdships had agreed upon , it should be taken , to be part and portion of the-said treaty- It would be perfectly optional both with her Majesty and the French Government to concur or not in the proposed supplementary treaty . ( Hear , hear . ) The lipshot of the discussion was , that the Bill passed through committee with Lord Malmesbury ' s aitiendments !
Note . —The correspondent of the Daily News , writing from Paris on Thursday , furnishes the following important paragraph : — - " I observe in tho English papers arrived to-dayj a feature in the debate of the Lords , on Tuesday night , whicii needs some comment from this side of tho Channel . ^ In reply to Lord Brougham ' s description of tho law just passed by tho Corps LegislaHf , Lord Malmesbury stated that Lord Brougham was quite mistaken , and that tho bill just passed was confined entirol y to Frenchmen . Now , tho fact is ; that the mistake lies with tho foreign secrctnry , and not with Lord Brougham , whoso account of tho bill wps perfectly accurate . In effect , you will find in tho Moniteur of to-day , a report of the debate in tho Corps Legislatif , which took place on tho 4 th of Juno j for hero
tho debates are published commonly a week after they are hold . Now , the 6 th article of the law is as follows : — Every foreigner who , out of the Fr 6 he ! i territory hal-i been guilty , of a crime either against the public woal of France , or against a Frenchman , may , if ho come to Franco , bo there arrested , and judged according to tho French laws . , . In respocfc to misdemeanours ( ddlits ) , tho prosecution will only take- placo in tho caso and under tho conditions determined botwoon Franco and tho foreign powers by diplomatic treaties , . , It is of tho highest importance that this should bo rightly undorntood ; and possibly Lord Mulinoabury will , when bettor informed , g ivo eomo explanation tonding- to correct , his mistako , which is tho Iobs ox . ouHO . blo , as ho ropronchoa Lord Brougham roundly with a blundor , after tho latter had givon an oxcollont and faithful description of tho law .

The House Of Commons Hold A Morning Sitt...
The House of Commons hold a morning sitting yesterday . Alter nominating u Hclcsct conunittco to propure tho militia estimates , Mr . Slanky , taking advantage of tho order for going into committee of s ^ ipp ly , moved , for tho last timo , that u department standing committee , or unpaid coininiUHion , bo appointed to consider , suggest , and report from timo to timo , preventive and remedial moasurcH to benefit tho Hoc . ial condition of tho working cIiissch . Ho urged with much earnestness tho necessity of a plan lilco that ho proposed , for tho romedy of ovlls which wore yearly bocoming moro and more nggrnvated , und for promoting the education and preserving the health of tho working clnftseu , and assisting their industrial oflbrtu . This
important ::. ' pbjecjjv . jlie belieyei , might be ac ^ pnipli she ^ without cost ; by voluntary agencyi Lord RoBEBic Gbobvenob : seconded the . motion . It was further siipported . by Mr . Sr , Carter and Captain ScoBEix * and opposed by ' M r . PAoipE and Mi ,, pHrfcjfc HOWARD . . . v .. , ' : f , ' - «; :. ; ' : . ¦; : ¦ . : T- '• • ¦ ' ¦' ¦ : ' ¦ . ¦; ' ¦'¦ : - '¦ ¦ ¦* Mr . WaI / POIiE ,, jn ; steting the views . of the Government , acknowledged < the zeal and benevolence which Mr . Slatiey had always manifested ; towards the working classes ; if he ( Mr- Walpple ) thought thte motion would at all contribute to the maprove . ment of their social condition , On the part of the Government he would not resist it j but he feared it would be not onl y useless , but detrimental to those classes . The motion had two objects—4 . 6 obtain information , arid to
suggest specific remedies . As to the first , he doubted whether more or better information than had been already collected by Parliamentary committees could be acquired by a standing committee , or unpaid commission , consisting of two or three members , who would perhaps take up particular opinions . With regard to the other object , he thought that individuals ought riot to be encouraged to look to the Government or Parliament alone for aid , instead of relying upon their own exertions ; and there was a chance that the ndoptiori of this motion would encourage such an idea . With these views , he was sorry to say that , if the motion was pressed to a division , he must give a negative vote . But he was spared the pain . Mr . Slaney withdrew the motion :
The Committee of Supply consumed the remainder of th ' e morning sitting , and in the eyeriihg the House was mainly in committee on the Impi'ovement of the Jurisdiction of Equity Bill .
The Usual Telegraphic Despatch From Trie...
The usual telegraphic despatch from Trieste , with dates from Bombay to the-12 th of May , reached town yesterday . Nothing was known relative to the future movements of the expedition , nor of the enemy ' s proceedings iii the neighbourhood ' of Rangoon . -An ad ? vance of the British troops upon Prome was , however , regarded as very improbable . It was reported that a revolution had occurred at Ava , but the report requires confirmation . Oh the , night of the 14 th , the Burmese attempted to retake Marteban ,, but were repulsed with loss ; Provisions were scarce and Of bad quality .
Lord Mancteville, The Sitting Member For...
Lord Mancteville , the sitting member for Bowdley , was yesterday elected member for Huntingdonshire . Our readers will remember him as tho . young gentleman who performed Buela wonderful variations on the root facio } and proposed to " rebuke evils" in his election address . Tho election of scholars for th & Merchant Tailors' school took place yesterday . In the evening there was a mighty banquet , followed by the usual speech-making , from & company composed of well-known public men . The novelty of the evening , perhaps , was the appearanco of the Bishop of Michigan , who , with transatlantic fervour , informed the public that tho " Church of England was tho hope of tho world . "
The Australasian Pacific Mail Steam Pack...
The Australasian Pacific Mail Steam Packet Company , the shares of which have recently been allotted , is organized to supply a link in first-class screw-steam navigation with our gold-bearing colonies , which will bring them within sixty days of Southampton . A monthly communication will bo thus established by tho existing Royal Mail Company ' s steam packets ( tho shares of which aro now at 171 . premium ) , to tho Isthmus of Panama , crossing it bv the railway now completing thorp , and thch'co by this company ' s splendid steamers across tho Pacific Ocean to Now Zealand and , Australia . Nineteen , days will suHico for the passagp froin , Kn , £ landtQ Chagros , one for 'rossing tho Intlimus , and thirty-oight moro i ' rom Panama to Fyuney .
The high business charrtctor of tho gentlemen who aro associated in the diroction of this company , comprising tho loading directors and chairmen of tho working mall steamship companies now successfully navigating tho Atlantic ana Pacific Ocoans , assures its proper management ; and the amazing tido of navigation now sot in from Groat Britain , ana oven from the United States , to our prolific virgin gold regions in Australia , demand tills tho luafc link wanting in tho steam circumnavigation of tho globo . Tho groat demand for tho shares ( upwards of 4 iO , OW having boon applied for } , proves that tho public duly ostimato tho true value of tlua great ) national undertaking . Tho doath of M .

M. Le Comte De Malmesbuilyi His Allies, ...
M . LE COMTE DE MALMESBUIlYi HIS ALLIES , ASTl } ACCOMPLICES . Unhappily , this principle which , ^ eeras to have actuated Lord Malmes miry ; in Florence and in . Vienna ^ is ilhistrated byhis" conduet in Patris . "We saw hiln last week endeavouring to persuade the Peers to pass a statute ^ which bore every characteristic oi & pfojei deloi of Louis J ^ apbleon ' s Governmeiit , We next saw him , against the argumeiifc of Lord Brougham , assuring ^ tlie Peers that the corresponding prpjei de toi , already accepted by the ! Prencii ¦ . legislative . - ; , corps ; did not render French or English subjects in '• 'Paris ^^ amenable for offences committed in England against the French Groverriment ; his assurance being contradicted by the siinTiltaiieous enforcement of tnat very law in . Paris . We ; saw him under these aspects : this week we have a new
appearance . . ' - On Friday ; Lord Malmesbury appeared before the House of Lords , offering an amended version of his Surrender of Criminals Convention with France Bill , under which he proposed that the Secretary of State should not issue a warrant for the detention of a prisoner immediately after his arrest * but should allow delay ; in order to be satisfied of the identity of the accused . This was iio real concession . On the previoiis debate , the , Peers had-npt objected to giving up a criminal without raroof of identity ^ but to giving liim up
without prbof that he had been criminal m a sense of the word at least analogous to the English meaning . The English Peers r equired , in short , that the convention should be one to give up offenders against the criminal law , and not mere offenders against the dominant political faction . They objected , for example , to give up a Gehoral Oavaignac , under some constructive pretence that he was an ordinary criminal ; and that
although it might be proved , ten times over , he was the General Cavaignac intended by the French police , still their objection would hold good . Lord Malmesbury 'sconcossion , however , has one very important moaning , —it proves , beyond mistake , that he did not understand the objection ot the Peers , —that he could not enter into the teolings of English Barons , refusing to give up a political refugee claimed by the Government pursu-Aboraeen
ing him . " Hitherto , '' says Lord , " the kws of this country havo afiorded to foreigners the same protection as to natives , ana now it is proposod to make a now provision as respects foreigners" : now it is evident , from tlio very nature of his concession , that Lord Malmcsbury . could not understand the objection to tuis innovation . j With a nalveti in tho same spirit , he oxprcssed " a dosiro that a discretionary power should uo Jie
vested in the Secretary of State / ' ««» - being Secretary for the " timo being . , Ho » S 9 U ;' " the Housq that " lie had a promise Irom m « Pronch ambassador , that a law exactly analogous to this bill should bo passed in ¦ France ; » nci , seeing a Poor smile at the proposal Jo sot uw promiso of a French oflicial against a Britisii bwtuto , ho observed , — " Nothing could bo done u thoy did not bolicvo in tho Jionour of a gontioman . " Ho made a still moro enticing P ronl ^; "If thoir lordships would givo him s " ) P ° " Tj arf would enable him to alter tho presont Invr , * w to entor into a now convention , such c ^ VCI 1 \ could bo drawn up with tho French amboBsaaor in iwnntv . four hours : and llO was att tlioriijca vy
that ambassador to say , that tho wncndinoBJ Lord Mulmosbury now proposed , tho Au on ^ Glovernnlont wero prepared to acopdo , ana eife convention accordingly . " Having _ J ^ V'I spirit in which ho was acting , Lord Malmeppwy
