'I'll Is important was on rnnay . mane me * ' Lords by Earl Granvilt . k , " that theFrctichKinperor had informed the British'Government , if Sardinia should annex CeiMral Italy , France Would deem it necessary to annex some part of ¦ _ Savoy . " ' .. . Endowed Sehools Bills then came under discussion , previously , however , to-which Lord St . Lkoxards ' sivid he " could not agree to that portion of the Bill which gave power , t'b Dissenters , 'to -participate ; in endowed trusts . where they had not previously ¦ ¦ . enjoyed that-ad ' vantage . " . The Bill , w'Ui the exception of'the seventh clause , passed ¦¦ through committee . The first party conflict was brought to an issue on Monday . The Chi-kf of-the Opposition raised the Question by nt-king-the Government in what sense Parliament was to take the 20 > h Article of the French Treaty , which decl'ired that the treaty Would only become valid with the consent of Parliament ? It was , -however cleurlv understood that , the arena in which
the real combat was to take place was the Lower House . Tim K-orl of Derby placed his opposition to the treaty on the ground that it had been carried out contrary to precedent . Earl Ga-A > -vii . i , K adroitly met this objection by stating that the Pitt treaty with France , relied on by the noble Earl , was only a treaty ' between England and France ; whereas The recent treaty involved provisions which extended to the whole commercial world . This . distinction , -he contended , made fill the difference in tho two cases . E-rlGiiEy . differinp : from both sides , hut more inclining to tho Dminv view of the issue that had been raise ;!; regretted that Government bad no £ more closely copied the precedent set by Mr . Pitt in his treaty with France . The Duke of Argyle was put up to reply to the noble Earl , and he rnet his objections b \ the assertion that present circumstances made it impossible to place exactly in its course the Pitt precedent . The Governhe coiir
ment had adopted tlie best course open to it , and that course , tended , was perfectly ' constitutional . No desire being evinced by their Lordships to test the strength of each party further , the pro forma motion of LordDkuby was withdrawn . Some discussion arose on ' uesday with reference to the constitution of Tasmania , which , it appeared from the remarks of Lord Durrv , the Duke of N < : wc . \ stm ? , and J 3 arl Gkuv , had not worked hs desirably in all respects « s could be wished . Ou a inotion by Lord Selkirk fqr papers relative to China , the Hurl of Elgin entered into an explanation- of his official doings in China , nnd prutty plainly hinted that had he been supported cordially by the admiral on this station , the present Chinese imbroglio might possibly have never ocqurrcd . Friday , the ' ministerial night , appears to be now regarded as tho nl ^ lit oi questions . ISIr . Laino intimated that " time bargains , " or gambling in the fundfl was illegalbut its the act applying to tho transactions was
, . practically a doad letter , and as the penny stamp was to apply to all Stock Exchange transactions , somcthjug effectual would be dona to alter the prosont law . Lord Palmehston , in reply to Mr . Bkntinck , stated that no understanding h (» d boon come to with tho French Emperor , in tho event of the commercial treaty boing rejected by Parliament .,. A large number of small questions and statements , on tho subject of Rifle Corps , militia , consolidation of the Statute Law ; the propagation of . infection * diseases through the agency of cabs and other public vehicles ; removal of the India House \ forgory of Irado marks—wore disposed of , after which the question of the French Treaty was ngnin renewed by Mr . Stirling , who - ohjectod to a commercial treaty being entered into with France , when morn constitutional moans for attaining tho santo objuut
were open to tho high contracting parties . Lord . 1 . ltussrci . r . would reply next week to this part of tho case , and then inoniimuxi the reassuring clrouinstancft that the French Emperor had just doobvrotl that unless the people of Savoy desired annexation with Franco , he should not think of such ft measure . Alter a good deal of discussion in ret ' ur pnuo to this treaty , which appears to be the btHa noir of' the Opposition , Col . Pi Hisrhkiit pointed out the inconvenience which woulil arUo in ease of war with I'Vanoo , if tho 1 Kb . Article , which bound England to permit , the exportation of coal , wore onforcod . Sir II . Caihn . s remarked that it appeared to him the Ministers had advised Him MaJisstv to . exceed her prerogative in concluding this treaty . The subjoot ut last was suffered to'drop , nnd tho Mouse went into a Commit toe of Supply on the army estimates , Mr . S . IIicftuitnT , in a long and elaborate speech ,
