Mr . Chinnery examined : Tho account ho produced was the sums he had received and paid on to Mr . O'Connor ' s account He bad received £ ll , 9 S 712 s .

A discussion took p lace relative to tbe prospect of any ^ documents he i . rodnced iieinj ; impounded . Mr . noberu stated that be had taken the highest ega opinion , and knew that he sacrificed a portion of h s legal tight if he produced any document which might be impoun-lcd . He was wiiliug io make even this sacrifice , if ± e thought itwoul-J benefit the interests of tnc Company . Be wo ild look throuch the papers , and if he saw any that could be justly said to belong to the Company he would ^ The ' Master slated that he thought Mr Roberts' interest -would be ben-fitted by fallowing the course he recom-BKidtd . His debt would be the first paid ont of the assets . . . ..... . Mr . Roberts was willing to give up the deeds on the payment of the lien . H e had understood that the £ 1 , 000 loan on O'Connorville was to be disputed ; this would prejudice other persons besides himself . He would give the subject furtLer coasidemiicn .
Mr . Roxburgh : lu reference to the accounts of Mr . O'Connor , thousht that the best way to be adopted was to charge against Mr . O'Connor all the sums he received , and then * f « jr his legal advisers to employ an accountant to examine all tbo books and papers , and thus endeavour to arrive at a exclusion . If Mr . O'Connor could not account for tbe money , he must be charged with it . The Master stated that he thought the suggestion a good one . It was , however , for the counsel to decide upon the coarse tbey woal 1 pursue . Mr . O'Connor must discharge himself , and he would not have the inquiry delayed by tue non-produetion of documents . He distinctly requested Mr . Roberts to produce on the following day all the documents in his possession , Mr . Roberts stated that fie understood the decision , hot should take legal advice ou the matter . Mr . Chinnery w . is re-examined as to the alteration from seven to one year in the deed , allowing the sale by the mortgagees of the Minuter estate .
An immense number of drafts and papers were examined , which showed that a discrepancy had occurred in the dates , as to which evidecce had been given by Mr . Lee in reference to the execution of the deed of sale , and the ijeetment of the tenants , the lalter taking place prior to the former . An arrangement was effected , that the papers relative to the estates should be examined by tbe solicitors of the Offchl Manager , at Mr . Roberts ' s office . The court then adjuurneJ until twelve o ' clock on tbe following dav . TriCRSDAT , FEBRVzara . Mr . Wheeler , a barrister , appeared as counsel for Mr . O'Connor . Mr . O'Connor Texamiscd by Mr . Roxburgh ) : He borrowed £ 1 , 001 of Mr Hotseris , andgarehiui a mortgage on the O'Connorville Esxaic It was to carry on tlieafJairsofthe Company . He did not think the Erectors * were aware ofit It w . i < not in the " Daily K * ws . " It was ia ISiD . It went to pay labourers .
Mr . Roxburgh suggested that thc counsel of Mr . O'Connor should agree to take the amount of receipts traced to Mr . O'Connor , and then Sir . O'Connor and the Official Manager , eaeli to appoint a surveyor to value all the bnildir . es and improvements on the estates , and Mr . O'Connor to be disehaigedfroni whatever sum their decision , at raual building price . * , amounted to . Tlie result of Mr . O'Connor ' s examination showed that this would be the best and least expensive wa . of arming at a conclusion . Mr . Wheeler , as coun « e ! fur Mr . 0 'Co :: nor , could not agree to any such arrangem ? itt without forlfii r consideration . 0 < i the face of the propositionhe saw several oljectionf . By such an arrangement Mr . O'Connor \ rorfd <> nly have the benefit of a judicious expenditure , insteal of abona-jide one Mr . Jfcxbnrsb : Mr .

O'Connor Oienwoitintoalong statement of the manner ia ¦ which hs bad esjiended tie money .
jVter farther discussion Mr . O'Connor was examined as to the principles on which , tbe Land I'lan was founded , but gave verj incoherent answer ? , stating that his recoUection tvas very imye- ' ficu Mr . Roxburgh claimed that Messrs . Kobarts and Chinnery should delivered up all d < eds in tlr . - 'r possession . llr .

Wheeler , as to his acting as solicitor to the Company , his bill " of charges , and his lien on tlie title deeds of tbe Cmij-any . The deed of ibe provisional registra tion of the Company having been produced , a long debate ensued between counsel .

IMPERIiL PARLIAMENT . ( Concluded from our 5 th page # Waller said that if this portion of the earth were rent by a rude shock of the ocean from the continent of mrope it was to be the sacred refuge for mankind . I trust that tram that obligation wo shall never shrink ; that whilst we disapprove of any attempts made in this country to sliaKO tne established governments of those countries , as long as these exiles and refugees conduct themselves peaceably we shall continue the honorable distinction , of this country by receiving indiscriminately into its bosom the victims ot revolutions and political convulsions . "With those opinions as to our foreign relations , with respect to the advantage we
may derive from them , and the obligations they impose upon us , I will conclude what I have got to say to the house , not wkhine to enter upon the other topics ot the Speech from the Throne . In complying with the request ot my hon . friend , to give any explanation of the conduct l pursued with respect to the noble lord , it was impossible to give that explanation without in some degree referring to what has taken place in a neig hbouring country . Hut 1 mnstagain repeat , that in any measure which we may nave to . submit to the house , it will be our object not to increase the unreasonable panic which has arisen . It is my persuasion that although it is wise to take precautions against contingent exposure and danger , there is no reason whatever for supposing that the country was in any immediate danger of hostilities with anv other power . There is , in fact , atthe present time , no dispute between us and any other power on the Continent or in America . I have the happiness to say that our relations of peace and amity with other nations are most perfect , and I trust they may so
continue ; and whilst I deplore tho events which nave passed on the continent of Europe—events which , I fear , are tho certain consequences of the revolution of 1848—I do trust , that with the high civilisation and the knowledge which is daily thrown in upon us , and with the improved condition of the times , that rationalliberty will at length be firmly established , and , with religion governing tho hearts ofmen , may produce the happiness and good of mankind . ( Hear , hear . ) * ' Lord Palmerston immediately , amidst loud cheers , rose from his place on the front bench below the gangway , and said that he felt it incumbent upon him to make some remarks , lest the house and the country should run away with the ilea that he had abandoned ^ principles which he had ever entertained , and changed opinions which he trusted he
should never alter—that he had become , in short , the advocate of military despotism and of the abolition of constitutional government . lie concurred in Lord John ' s definition of the relations between the Foreign Minister and the Crown , and in his representation of the usage of office . Me had done nothing inconsistent with thise relations , nor deviated from that usage . With reference to the Islington deputation , he said : —The noble lord has commented upon an incident which I am ready to admit excited some degree of regret on my part—namely , the interview which took place between me " and a certain deputation from Finsbury and Islington on the subject of the effortshnade by her Majesty ' s government to obtain the release of the Hungarian refugees detained in the Turkish dominions . I was asked by letter to receive a deputation , instructed to express the acknowledgof fhe
ments of a certain meeting to me , as a member government and the organ of its foreign policy , for the efforts made to obtain the liberation of those refugees . I thought u was my duty , being thus applied to by respectable persons , to receive this deputation from a meeting of her . Majesty ' s subjects . 1 certainly did not expect , not beingso much in the habit of receiving deputations as my noble friend probably is—I did not expect that what passed in conversation with those persons was to appear in a newspaper paragraph next day as an important declaration on the part of her Majesty ' s government , ( ' « Hear , hear , " and a laugh . ) But there was nothing which I said to that deputation which I have not stated in this house and elsewhere , and which has not been publicly known . ( Hear , hear . ) I certainly regret fait the meeting should have mixed up wiih their
acknowledgments to her Majesty ' s government expressions with respect to foreign sovereigns which it was entirely unfitting that a person in my situation should have presented to him . ( Hear , hear . ) If I had taken the precaution , which I certainly might , to see the address previously , I might have objected to such parts , and they might have been expunged ; but , being taken by surprise , and the address being read on the spot , ail I could do was to repudiate those expressions , and to declare that I had not any participation in them . I do not think that what passed on that occasion was reasonably ca ' culated to impair the friendly relations between her Majesty ' s goyernment and any continental Power . ( Hear . ) I will now come to the particular transaction to which my noble friend —( after a pause)—tbe noble lord , has referred as the groundwork of my removal from office . The event
which is commonly called the coup d'etat happened in Pans on the 2 nd of December . On the 3 rd the Trench Ambassador , with whom I was in the babit of almost daily communicating , called on me at my house to inform me of what he bad received , and to talk over tho events of tho preceding day , and I stated conversationally the opinion I entertained of the events which had taken place . That opinion was exictly the opinion expressed in the latter part of thc dispatch which thc noble lord has read , and the French Ambassador , as lam informed , in a private letter communicated the result of that conversation to his Minister . On that day , the 3 rd of December , her Majesty ' s Ambassador at Paris wrote a dispatch to ask what instructions he should receive for his guidance in Franco during the interval before the vote of the French on the question
that was to be proposed to them , and whether in that interval he should infuse in the relations with tbe French government any greater degree of reserve than usual . I took the opinion of the Cabinet on the question , and a draught of that opinion was prepared F and sent for her Majesty ' s approbation . The answer could only he one , in consistence with tbe course we had pursued since the beginning of the events alluded to , and was such as the noble lord had read . Her Majesty ' s Ambassador was instructed to make no change in bis relations with the French government , and to do nothing that sbonld wear the appearance of any interference in the internal affairs of France . ( Hear ,
hear . ) There was no instruction to communicate that document to the French government ; it simply contained instructions , not , in fact , what the English Ambassador was to do , but what he was to abstain from doing . The noble lord , however ( the Marquis of Sormanby ) , thought it right to communicate to tho French Minister for Foreign Affairs the substance of that document , accompanying his communication with certain excuses for tbe delay , which however did not rest with that noble marquis , as his dispatch to the English , government was dated the 3 rd of December . The French Minister stated that he had nothing to ao with respect to the delay , and the less , indeed , because two days before lie had received from the French Ambassador in
London a statement which the noble lord ( Lord J . Russell ] has read , viz , that I had entirely approved of what had heen done , and thought tho President of the French fully jusfciloJ . That was a somewhat highly-coloured explanation of the result of the long conversation we hold together . Those particular words I never used , and probably the French Ambassador never would have conceived it consistent with the dignity due to his country to ask the approval of a Foreign Secretary of State . Consequently , the approval was not given , and was not asked . He then explained the circumstances attending his conversation with the French Ambassador on the 3 rd of December on the occasion of tho Ambassador ' s calling at his house . He excused the delay in replying to tbe letters of the Prime Minister , which had arisen from tbe heavy pressure of business . When he could reply , he had stated to the noblo lord that he had merely expressed an opinion to the French Ambassador that there had been for some time
such an antagonism between the President and the Assembly that theifco-existence bad become an impossibility , and lhat if one or the other were to prevail , it would be " better that it should be the President . I said , if the doctrine of the noble lord were to be established , that the Foreign Secretary was to bo excluded from expressing on passing events any opinion to a foreign minister , except in tho capacity of the organ of a previously concerted cabinet , there would be an end of all that easy and familiar intercourse which led so greatly to the maintenance of good understandings and the fascilitating of public business . ( Hear , hear . ) To this my noble friend replied that my letter gave him no other course than to advise her Majesty to name a successor to me . Now , sir , I humbly think that my conduct is right , and that the doctrine of my noble friend is
wrong ; because it is obvious that if a Secretary of Stale was not to be allowed , in easy and frank conversation with a foreign minister , to express an opinion upon foreign events—expressing them not as the organ of the government , but as the opinion ' which he may have formed atthe moment—there would be such a restriction as would be ex-• aedingly inconvenient and prejudicial to tbe public service . ( Hear , hear . ) I expressed this opinion to the French Ambassador on the morning of thc 3 rd of December—and was I the only member of the Cabinet who had an opinion on the event ? Why , sir , I am informed , and believe , that on the evening of that very same day , and under the very same roof , the noble lord at the head of her Majesty ' s government did , in conversation with that same Ambassador , express his opinion also . ( Laughter and cheers . ) I cannot
tell what that opinion was , but I thick from what has falkn from thatnoblclord in the course of the evening ' s discussion , it may be assumed that that opinion was not very far different from even the reported opinion of mine . Well , was that all ? Ia the noble lord ' s ova house , I have been informed that the French Ambassador met the noblo lord , the President of the Council , and the Chancellor of the Exchequer , and that the noble lord again expressed an opinion , that the President of the Council expressed an opinion , and that tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer expressed an opinion . ( Hear , hear . ) Be it remembered that the charge against me was not the nature of tho opinion . The noble lord distinctly srid , you mistake the question between us-it is not whether tho President was justified , hut whether you were just fied in expressing an opinion on the matter at all . ( Cheers . ) I believe that the noble lord tho Secretary for the
Colonies did . also in the course of tbese few days express an opinion on these exeats , I am informed , also , that the noble lord , then Vice-President of the Board of Trade , and now Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , did also express an opinion upon these events . Well , then , sir , it follows that every member of the cabinet , whatever his peculiar vocation may he , is at liberty to express his opinion upon passing events but the Secretary of State , whose peculiar duty it is to watch these matters , who is unlit for his office if he has notan opinion —( Cheers . )—is the only man who is not to express his opinion ; and when the French Minister comes to tell him a piece of news , lie is to remain speechless , like a gaping dolt of an eastern pacha . ( Laughter and cheers . ) lam told it was not your conversation with Count Walewski , it was your dispatch to Lord Aormanby . So one would lay it down stronger than I do that a Secret ? ry of State who sends out instructions without having ascertained , ihat they are approved of by the
Imperiil Parliament. (Concluded From Our...
Prime Minister , isguilty of a breach of duty . But there may be cases in which he may know perfectly well that ne is onlv expressing tho opinion of goTernment , and that inconveVienco might arise from delay . M any ca es have arisen in which a careful observance of that rule on my part has been attended with some ineonvenienco ot that sort , and has exposed me to the imputation of neglect ana delay in answering dispatches . But what was the dispatch from Lord Norraauby , and whaf . was my answer ? There is nothing in that dispatch inconsistent with tho instructions not to interfere in the internal affairs of France . But what does be report in that very dispatch as having done what the noblo lord read just now ? Why , that ha mg made that communication to M . Turcot , haVing just received instructions to avoid anvthimr that could wear the appearance
of interference with the internal affairs of France , ho proceeded forthwith to tell M . Turgot ho was quite sure that it her Majesty ' s government had known the events m France on Thursday and Friday , they would have joined with him in congratufatingthe governmentof France on those events . Why , it appears tome a greater inteference with the internal affairs of the French nation than . any opinion that I could have expressed in conversation with Count Walewski . I think it was a very unfair misrepresentation of the facts of the case to assert that in answering the question of Lord Normanby I was giving him an instruction on . any important matter . It was no instruction . I said it was my opinion . That opinion might be wrong ; but . whether right or wrong it was shared in by many . Therefore , I must say , that the charge the noblo lord has brought against me as to
the dispatch , is a charge that has no foundation in justice . I do not pretend to dispute the right of the noble lord to remove any member of the government whom he may think it better to remove than tocontinue . With regard to myself , the noble lord has done me justice by saying that the course of fareiga policy ., of which I wasjthe organ received the constant approbation and support of the rest of the government , I think that course of foreign policy was the proper one for this country to pursue . I always thought that it was the duty of the government of this country to make the interest of England the pole star to guide their course . I always felt that it was my duty to be , as the noble lord described me in the year 1 & 50 , neither the Minister of Austria , nor of Russia , nor of Prussia , but the Minister of England . ( Cheers . ) " Firebrand of revolution , " as he had been called , he had
succeeded in removing many embarrcssments—he had succeeded in wiping off the bitter recollections of two centuries between Germany and Denmark—he left this country in per . feet amity with France , Spain , and Russia—with a more cordial understanding than ever with the "United States—our claim upon the South American States in train of adjustment —Brazil co-operating in the suppression of slavery , an object we had sought , "JSot ' for fame but virtue ' s better end . " Austria is , perhaps , the only power with which our relations have not been as cordial as in former years ; but as far as outward appearance and diplomatic intercourse go , we are on friendly terms . For many years there has been a great difference of opinion ' . between the English and Austrian governments . England has supported the diffusion of constitutional governments—Austria , en the contrary , has preferred the
despotic system , and therefore in Portugal and in Spain , and in Sicily , and in the north of Italy , the two governments were at variance—at variance , I mean , in their objects and views . They were at variance with reference to the Hungarian question , and also with regard to the refugees that had taken refuge in the Turkish dominions . But that was no reason why we should not co-operate in any matter in which our interests agreed . Two countries could not be on more opposite tacks than England and Austria were in 1835 , 1836 , and 1837 , but that did not prevent the countries from co-operating most earnestly together in 1840 and 1841 , when they found that their objects were the same ; and therefore whatever relation of an unfriendly kind with that country may exist now that relation will be sure to subside , and I am justified , therefore , in including Austria as one of tho countries
with whom our relations are satisfactory , and thoso of friendship and peace . Well , then , sir , I say that having conducted the affairs of this country through periods of very considerable difficulty , it was my good fortune to be the instrument for the maintenance of peace , and that in the maintenance of peace , and in the assertion , not unsuccessfully , of the interests of England , I think IJmay say that in quitting office I have handed the foreign relations of the country to my successor , leaving the honour and dignity of England sustained , and leaving her character and reputation standing high among the nations of the earth . ( Loud cheers . ) The subsequent speeches were of very minor interest . Mr . Muniz defended the manufacturers who had entertained Kossuth from some remarks made by the mover of the Address .
Mr . Baillie could come to so other conclusion than that the late Foreign Secretary had been offered up as a sacrifice for the sins of the whole Administration , Mr . Geach defended Louis Kapoleon from the charge of usurpation . Mr . M . Milnes thought there was something behind tho statement of Lord J . Russell . Lord D . Stuart said , he thought that the nobility and gentry of England did theroselvs no credit by hanging hack as tbey had done , when Kossuth was so enthusiastically received by the great mass of the people . He considered the change in the Ministry , by the removal of a colleague upon the most paltry pretences , a lamentable one—a foregone conclusion , not conducive to British inteyagfe Mr . B . Osborne deemed the removal of the late Foreign Secretary a great national loss ; but he could not entirely approve of the manner in which he had spoken of the transactions in France .
Mr . Roebuck contended that the government , now deprived of its right arm in the loss of Lord Palmerston had nothing left in it to entitle it to ask for the confidence of the house . The hon . gentleman referred to the mismanagement in the Admiralty , in the colonies , and other departments of the administration , in order to establish beyond doubt the want of capacity in those ffho presided over them . Mr . Disraeli treated the reasons assigned for the removal of Lord Palmerston as unsatisfactory . He had never severed the policy of that nohle lord , which he thought a pernicious one , from that of the Cabinet . Was it their present policy ? If so , he would rather it should be administered by the late Secretary , whom all recognised as an able manthan by any other person . He complained of the
fre-, quent , unnecessary , and unusual introduction of her Majesty ' s name into the explanation of Lord J " . Russell , whereby he relieved himself of a responsibility which he should have been the first to adopt . Having expressed his dissatisfaction of the programme of the session , he drew attention to the promised Reform Bill , and said : —Without expressing any opinion on the necessity or non-necessjty of what is called Parliamentary Reform , or of any degree or kind of Parliamentary Reform , I am bound to say that I cannot agree in the statement that this appears a " fitting time" for the consideration of that question . ( Hear , hear . ) It may be a subject which a Minister may think necessary at a fitting time to bring forward ; but when he asks the house to agree to a statement that this is not only a " fitting time " for considering such a subject as the reconstruction of this house , but
a fitting time for " calmly" consideringthe subject , it is impossible not to stop at expressions which I think so inapposite , and not to ask the house at least to pause before they allow such expressions to pass unchallenged . ^ From all I have heard to night—when the continent is in a most disturbed state , when the noble lord himself told us the whole aspect of circumstances relating to the nature and exercise of the franchise in foreign countries had clearly chanzed within tho last few years , disappointing and confounding the expectations of all men at a momnet when experience had failed us and experiment distracted us—though it may be necessary to consider the question of Parliamentary Reform , I cannot admit that this is a fitting moment for the calm consideration of the question . ( Hear , hear . ) It might be so if there were an irresistible demand in the com .
munity for measures on the subject , hut no one contended that there existed that circumstance . I will give no opinion on that subject to-night . I will listen with attention , and of course with interest , to the noble lord if he favours the house and tbe country with the reasons which have convinced him that the immortal measure he not only introduced but devised in 1830 has failed of the objects he then thought it would accomplish . 1 will listen with attention to the noble lord when he lays down tho principles on which he thinks , after twenty years' experience , a new Reform Bill ought to be establiseed , and explains how all thoso anomalies of representation of which wo ate all sen * sible may be removed , many of which , it may be remarked , render our system of representation as practical as we find it to be . I believe I may say thero is no gentleman on this
side of the house who is not ready to consider any change that may bo proposed , to supply any well-proved deficiency in our representation ; and I would say even more , for my friends as well as myself—that there is no one who insists that the increase of the franchise is the same as the increase of democratic power . I will consider the proposition of tbe minister entirely without prejudice . I will , with interest , watch the Whig critic of the ' Whig law . The noble lord could hardly expect , on the other side , any superstitious feeling in favour of tho Reform Law . People said" It is a new Magna Charter . You cannot trust the men who opposed it . " My answer will be the speech of tho noble author . While I express the most sincere desire to receive without prejudice any proposition tho noble lord may bring forward , 1 must at the same time express those
sentiments to which I gave utterance last year , that if I find , under the name and guise of a Reform Bill , only a reconstruction of this house which is in favour of the predominance of some political party , which , without that change , cannot govern this country , I will oppose , and I believe the whole country will oppose , a device of that kind . If , also , I were to meet a measure the object of which was to destroy or even disturb that just and salutary balance which now subsists between the various classes of tho country—i I saw a measure to destroy the legitimate and salutary influence of landed property in this country , the surest security both of the prerogatives of the Crown and of the liberties of the people —( hear , hear)—the fear of no imputation of being an anti-Reformer would -present me from '
giving such a bill my determined opposition . He noticed a strange omission in the Spt ech . Last year tho country had been agitated by the aggression of tho Pope , and Lord John Russell had denounced it as part of an organised conspiracy against the liberties of Europe . What had been tbe fate of the bill introduced in order to repel that aggression ? Dofiance in Ireland and disobedience in England , Our home and fcTiiign relations were alike gloomy . 1 see our best interests depressed , our merchants bankrupt , and secret societies of amal gamated mechanics springing up ; and what 1 ask , should we do if our position became one of warlike and perilous isolation from the political or religious sentiments of all the nationalities of Europe ? Nothing could persuade me that a political system can be sound which has resulted in circumstances so menacing and ruinous The noble lord is about to reconstruct our Constitution . " May

be be more was . Twenty years of Reform have left the country in this circumstance , which no statesman can pass unnoticed—an internal war of interests—a total want of sympathy between the different classes of the country . The noble lord will be a greater statesm an than even I give him credit for , if , on thcOth of this month , be proposes a measure which will put an end to a position which I believe to be most perilous . After a short speech from Mr . Granm-an , Lord J . RussuM offered some explanatory remarks on various points ; tho Address was agreed to , and the house adjourned at half-past twelve . WEDNESDAY , Feb . 4 *
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house sat for about two hours and a half , chiefly occupied with the consideration of the sessional orders . Mr . Hume moved that no money votes shoufd be taken after twelve o ' clock at night , which was negatived by a majority of eighty-two . The same hon . member complained of the heat and the bad ventilation of the new house , and sundry other small complaints filled up the short sitting . THURSDAY , Feb 5 , HOUSE OP LORDS . —On the motion for inserting her Majesty ' s most gracious reply to their lordships ' address upon tiro journals , the Dufee of Wellington defended the conduct of Sir Harry Smith in his government of the Cape . The answer to her Majesty was then ordered to be inserted on the journals . Tbe Lord Chancellor laid upon the table a bill for the improvement of the general administration of the law . The house soon after adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house sat for a short time , but the business before it was entirely of a routine character .
FRIDAY , Fbh . 6 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Earl Grey , in reply to a question put by the Earl of Malmesbury , said , that there was no law in this country to prevent tho export of gunpowder to South Africa , but he had sent to tbe Governor of the Capo to take measures to prevent its getting into the hands of the Kaffirs , who , he regretted to say , had obtained several tons before precautionary measures were adopted . He had not heard that any arms or weapons exported from England had got into tho . hands of tho enemy . In answer to the Marquis of Londonderry , Earl Gret said , he was quite prepared to defend the conduct of tho government in recalling Sir H . Smith . In appointing tho Hon . G . Cathcart they had the high authority of the Duke of Wellington . Their Lordships then adjourned .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Lord J . Russbli , in reply to a question from Lord D . Sti / art , stated that the insult offered to an English gentleman by some Austrian officers was under investigation by the Tuscan Government , at the instigation of the representative of her Brittanic Majesty at that court . He believed the facts stated in tlie newspapers wore mainly correct , and that the gentleman in question was entitled to reparation . Leave was given to the Solicitor General to bring in a bill for the relief of the suitors in the High Court of Chancery .
Lord Sbtmour moved for leave to bring in a bill for tho better supply of water in the metropolis . It was thought that there should be various sources , but subject to inspection as to its purity by a Government officer . All houses rated under £ 10 value should be supplied at a given rate , and all the existing water companies coming for new acts should have their rates , dso ., subjected to regulation . The same rules should , also , of course , apply to new companies , if any should arise . Mr . Mowm moved for leave to bring in a bill for vesting the water supply and drainage of the metropolis , in com xissioners representing the inhabitants thereof , and entered at great length into tho details of his proposed scheme . Lord Ebbbinpton approved of the scheme of Mr . Mowatt . Sir G . Grbt defended the measure of Lord Seymour , but would not oppose the bringing in of the bill of Mr . Mowatt , so that the house might have the opportunity of judging between the two .
After a short conversation , leave was give * to bring in tie bill . A slight discussion then arose on the motion of Mr . B . Osborne to call Dr . Reid to the bar , and question him as to the means at his disposal for ventilating the house . In tho course of this discussion a very general opinion was expressed as to tho present defeotivo ventilation , and its evil consequences on the health of members . The conversation resulted in the appearance of Dr . Reid at the bar in obedience to an order of the house . The doctor proceeded to explain the difficulties imposed on him by the architectural construction of the honse , which he said w ere so great that he might as well be called upon to control the air in the Bay of Biscay as in the presen IHougs of Commons . If left to himself he couid make the ventilation perfect . It was then proposed that Dr . Reid should be directed to do as ho had suggested , but ultimately the subject was deferred till Wednesday next . The house adjourned at nine o ' clock .

NATIONAL OHAETER ASSOCIATION . The Executive Committee met as usual on Wednesday evening , the 4 th instant . Present : Messrs . Arnott , Bezer , Grassby , and Holyoake . Mr . Arnott presided . John Shaw was absent through continued indisposition . Thornton Hunt has signified his intention of attending the next meeting . Mr . Lo Blond has not yet sent in his determination . Mr . Linwood writes to say he shall remain on the Executive . The Executive have engaged the John-street Institution for next Tuesday evening , the 10 th inst ., to review the promised Reform Bill .
I have just received an intimation ( which the Committe may perhaps next week reply to , ) viz ., the West Riding Delegate meeting have passed a vote of non-confidence in the present Executive Committee , and called upon the country to elect a Convention . In the absence of my colleagues , and on their behalf , I can only say , that confidence or no confidence , all honourable Chartiits are in duty bound to pay the liabilities left as a legacy by the former Executive to the present one , after which they may fairly think of Conventions and paid Executives . Tbe Committee is happy to say that they rtceive such assurances from various correspondents of the propriety of the course they are pursuing , lhat they believe it is unnecessary to support it by further arguments .
Since we last addressed yon we have received the sum of £ 3 8 s . Gad ., which reduces the liabilities to £ 29 12 s . fe ^ d , aud , by the aid of all honest Chartists , we are in hopes $ .

the Chartist movement we are of , opinion that it is mainly attributable to the dissensions engendered by the vaccinating policy recently advocated on some of our Platform ! andisanctioned by the approbation of the present Editor of the Northern Star whose lead ' ig articles if written for the purpose could not have been more directly at variance with tbe Fundamental principles of Chartism or more subversive of the best interests of the Na'ional Charter Association
2 nd That while we recognise the right of the Editor of the Northern Star to repudiate former avowed opinions and to call in question tbe policy formerly advocated in that Journal we claim for ourselves the right of calmly and dispassionately avowing our firm adherence to pure and unalloyed Chartism and for ourselves and those we represent to unhesitatingly declare that we no longer consider the Northern Star as the exponent of Chartism or recognise it as the organ of the movement
