NEWS OF THE WEEK. An arrival from Canada this week brings accounts of the opening of the Lower House of the Legislative Assembly, at Toronto, on the 28th February. On the second day of the session a despatch from the DUKE OF NEWCAS- TLE was read, in reply to an address from the Assembly, transmitted last summer, praying that Her MAJESTY would visit the colony this spring, on occasion of the opening of the Vic- toria Bridge, over the St. Lawrence, one of the noblest works of the late ROBERT STEPHEN- SON. Her MAJESTY regrets that her duties at the seat of the empire prevent her being so long absent as she must be on a visit to Cana- da; but expresses a hope that when the time for the opening of the bridge is fixed, it may be possible for the PRINCE OF WALES to attend the ceremony in Her MAJESTY'S name. The Queen trusts that nothing will interfere with this arrangement; "for it is Her MAJESTY'S sincere desire that the young PRINCE, on whom the crown of the empire will devolve, may have the opportunity of visiting that portion of her dominions, and may become acquainted with a people in whose rapid pro- gress towards greatness Her MAJESTY, in com- mon with her subjects in Great Britain, feels a lively and enduring sympathy." This con- firms the statement we published a week or two back relative to the PRINCE OF WALES' visit to America. The Canadians are making great preparations to receivo his ROYAL HIGH- NESS, and in those preparations seem for a time to forget their own differences, which have grown to such a height between Upper and Lower Canada, that a resolution for dis- solving the union was laid on the table of the House the first day of the session. At last, we are likely to have an alteration in the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Laws, which, in England, according to the ATTORNEY- GENERAL (and we believe him), present a worse system than we find in any other country in the world. The distinction between bank- ruptcy and insolvency is to be abolished and in London the five commissioners will be swept away, the bankruptcy and insolvent courts will be united, and one judge ap- pointed, who will do all the business. In the country, as the conimissio die off, the business will be transferred. the county- court judges. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL has introduced the bill, and his aim appears to be, to prevent delay and save expense—two of the essential points in the reformation of the law. Traders will rejoice to see this law put on a better footing and really there appears no great difficulty in the matter, if it is only set about with an earnestness and a will. Both must be united,-for there is such' a strong interest connected with the present system, that only a firm and resolute determination can carry an amendment. There have been two field nights in Parlia- ment on the Ballot one in the Lords, where Lord TEYNHAM moved a resolution in favour of the un-English mode of voting, and was defeated by 39 to 4 and another in the Com- mons, where Mr. BERKELEY, on Tuesday night, moved the resolution which he has so often introduced, which was negatived by 254 to 147.-Lord PALMERSTON closed the debate, on Tuesday night, in a short but conclusive speech. He thinks the franchise is a trust, not a right. If a right, a man might sell it, if he pleased but, being a trust, he ought to exercise it honestly, independently, and openly. —Mr. MARSH, who represents Salisbury, de- scribed the ballot as failing, both in America and Australia, to secure either secrecy or in- dependence. Mr. FORTESCUE, who did vote for the ballot, declared his intention to vote against it. Thus, it appears, the ballot re- trogrades rather than advances. We are glad that Mr. DILLWYN has lost his Endowed School Bill," which was an unfair and unjust interference with the rights of the Church. There can be no question that the! royal founder of most of those schools, King Edward VI., would never have favoured dis- sent and as we would not sanction any inter- ference of the Church with the property or es- tablishments of Dissenters, so we claim for the Church that immunity which we extend to its opponents.—The bill we allude to was rejected on the second reading, by 190 to 120. Two items of intelligence came by the same telegram from France last week. One,—that the EMPEROR had made M. MICHEL CHEVA- LIER, who was the principal negotiator of the commercial treaty on the side of our neigh- bour, a senator; the other,—that Marshal RANDON, the minister of war, as the ideas of war are receding," proposed that the effec- tive of the battalion of Chasseurs should be reduced from eight to six companies; i.e., to the same amount of strength as that arm of the military force presented previous to 1853. --The EMPEROR assented to the proposition, and ordered that it should be carried out.—It now transpires, that although the prohibition against the export of cargo in France is taken off, that an export duty will be imposed, of from 60 to 100 per cent. This duty will be as effective as the prohibition, as preventing ex- ports. Our paper manufacturers complain bit- terly of the position in which they are placed by the treaty. to the events in Naples men- With respect to the events in Naples men- tioned in our last, a letter from that city, of! the 11 th inst., says that the persons arrested and exiled were the authors of the numerous seditions, pamphlets, and placards, which have been for some time circulated, exciting the people to open revolt, and urging them to imitate the Tuscans and the Romagna, and become dependent on the KING OF SARDINIA. The writer says, "they were arrested some three months ago, and set at liberty by the KINo's orders. Every one concurs in think- ing that exile is the best thing that could be done for them, and the quiet of the country." He speaks of the popularity of the KING and QUEEN, shewn every day on their MAJESTIES' drive up and down the Corso, unattended, and gives a very different colouring to the state of things from that which we find in the letters of the majority of the newspaper correspon- dents. The latter however appear to be borne out by the despatches from Mr. ELLIOTT, our ambassador at Naples, which give much the same account of the transactions as we published last week. The hon. gentleman says that the parties arrested have been de- nounced by spies; and the foreign minister, Count OARATA, owns that they are exiled with- out trial, because, although the evidence satis- fies the government, it would not produce con- viction in a court of justice.—The latest ac- counts (to the 19th) speak of popular manifes- tations at Atri, where banners, with the words VICTOR EMMANUEL for ever!" were displayed, and of a change of ministry. As we stated last week the returns of the votes from the Romagna, the iEmilian pro- vinces, and Tuscany, were almost unanimous, in favour of annexation to Sardinia.—On Sun- day Signor F ARINI arrived at Turin, and pre- sented to the KING the returns from E, milia. The KING, after alluding to the order, perse- verance and patriotism, displayed by the in- habitants, said, "I accept their solemn vote, and henceforth will be proud to call them my people." Hia MAJESTY added, In writing to my ancient provinces, not only the states of Modena and Parma, but also the Romagna, which has already separated itself from the Papal government, I do not mean to fail in my deep devotedness to the Chief of the Church. I am ready to defend the indepen- dence necessary to the supreme minister of religion, the POPE, to contribute to the splen- dour of his court, and to pay homage to His SOVEREIGNTY." In the official Gazette of Tu- rin, of the 18th, three royal decrees appeared; one annexing the provinces of TEmilia to Sar- dinia; a second convoking the electoral as- semblies for the 25th inst.; and a third ap- pointing fifteen new senators.—The same day (Sunday) a solemn religious festival took place at Florence, to celebrate the publication of the votes in honour of annexation. The ARCH- Bisiior himself intoned the Te Beam. It is understood that the question of Savoy and Nice is settled by a treaty between the two powers, which was signed before the note of M. TnoUVENEL to the other European go- vernments was sent off. That note is not a consulting note; it asks no opinion. It merely announces a fact and gives the reasons, expressing a hope that the powers will receive those reasons with the same friendly feelings as those with which they are communicated to them. The Municipal Council of Nice has voted against annexation, and the National Guard has elected, by a large majority, a colonel attached to the present state of things. Of course these manifestations will have no effect.—On the other hand, deputations have arrived in Paris, to assure the EMPEROR, that the inhabitants of Nice and Savoy are anxious for the union. They were presented to the EMPEROR on Wednesday, and cordially received. —The members dine at the Tuilleries to-day (Saturday.) There is no doubt that the Swiss govern- ment has presented to the French MINISTER OF WAR, by M. KERN, its envoy at Paris, a protest, and a very spirited protest too, against the annexation of Chablais and Faucigny to France. The same protest has been sent to Turin; and a copy has been forwarded to all the European courts. The stipulations of a treaty which dates as far back as 1564 pro- vide for the perfect neutrality of those pro- vinces, in connection with Switzerland. This treaty was confirmed by that of 1815, which declares that those provinces are to enjoy the neutrality of Switzerland in the same manner as if they belonged to her." The Swiss government demands that the powers of Europe shall decide before the annexation takes place. It is understood that Russia, Prussia, and the German States object to the transfer of Savoy to France, taking the same view of the question as England; and that Austria, though she will not move a finger to preserve the province to Sardinia-and who could expect she would?—joins in supporting the demand of Switzerland with respect to Faucigny and Chablais. As to her conduct in regard to Italy, it is reported from Vienna that, on the 15th, M. do MousTiER apprised the Austrian government of the intended evacuation of go Vern ?y y by the French troops, and inti- mated the wish of the EMPEROR that Austria would continue in the course of non-interven- tion in the affairs of Italy which she had observed since the peace of Villafranca. The reply is said to have been courteous and dig- nified. Disclaiming all wish on her part to recommence a struggle which mus assume much greater proportions than thft last, if once entered upon,—she referred tq the intrigues of Sardinia, and intimated, that the greatest efforts would be made to defend the rights of the EMPEROR over V eiietia. This is a hint to VICTOR EMMANUEL and CAVOTTR, which it is to be hoped they will take and act upon. The annexation of Central Italy has, according to a telegram from Vienna, of Monday, caused the EMPEROR to adjourn the renewal of official relations with the Court of Turin; and the Court of Rome is reported to suspend the sen- tence of the greater excommunication over the head of VICTOR EMMANUEL. The reply of Cardinal ANTONELLI to M. do THOUVENEL is commented upon in some of the Paris papers. It maintains the former-posi- tion taken as to the POPE'S temporal power, which Pius IX. will not abandon and as to reforms in the Papal administration, asks what use reforms would be amongst people demanding another government ?-There was a great demonstration at Rome on Friday, when an immense multitude of citizens are said to have met the POPE, on his way to the Basilisk of the Vatican, "who united to pray with the common father of the faithful." The next day, however, bills were scattered about Rome, headed Viva Victor Emanuele;" and on Monday, the fete of Garibaldi, there was a demonstration in favour of Sardinia, which was repressed.—A rumour is again re- vived, this week, that the French troops are to be re-called from Rome, and replaced by Neapolitans. A telegram from Milan, dated Wednesday, states, that the French army in Lombardy had commenced its return movement to France; one battalion was departing daily, and they were taking the roads by Susa and Nice. If this be correct, it is not improbable, but that those at Rome will also follow. Then there will be/a clear field for Sardinia, unless Aus- tria interferes. An atrocious murder has been committed upon a British officer at Lima. Captain LIONEL LAMBERT, who, though only 26 years of age, distinguished himself in the Crimean war, commanded her MAJESTY'S steamer Vixen, cruising off Lima. He was on shore, stopping at an hotel in the city, which he left about 3 p.m. on the 10th of February, to take a bath. At 5 o'clock his dead body was found; his rings and watch had been stolen, but a closed despatch, addressed to his superior officer, Capt. MILLER, was left. His remains were interred on the I I th, with all honours, all the Europeans in Lima and Callao at- tending. The United States officers, according to a letter of the 8th of February, have again violated the British territory. An American officer, with a sergeants' guard, went to Langley, took two men prisoners, and con- veyed them over the boundary line to the Washington territory. The Victoria news- papers are highly indignant at this new in- fringement of British rights.

THE REFORM BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved the second read- ing of this bill on Monday evening. Generally, -always as the rule,-a member having charge of a bill, takes the opportunity, when that stage comes on, of explaining its princi- ples and its provisions, more fully than when he first lays it on the table. On this occasion, however, supposing, we imagine, that he had already done all that was necessary, the noble SECRETARY for FOREIGN AFFAIRS, merely moved that "this bill be now read a second time." The debate was opened by Mr. DISRAELI, who made a very conclusive speech against the measure, both as to its principle, ana as re- gards the details. With respect to the latter, the right honourable gentleman reminded the House of what had been proposed in the bill last year. Every body admits, that a more perfect, and at the same time, a more simple, system of registration is required; and also greater facilities for polling. In the Conser- vative bill, last year, "there was a proposition carried into effect, by numerous and efficient clauses, to establish a self-acting registry. There was a scheme perfectly worked out, which by multiplying polling-places, would check that corruption of which all so mucn complained." But there is nothing of this in the present bill, which simply proposes to give the inhabitants of houses at a certain rental, the right to vote; paying no attention, what- ever, to their fitness, to exercise that vote,— though in most places they will form the ma- jority of electors. The blil ignores all claims of intelligence, of acquirements, and of educa- tion; they are not at all referred to, and yet, we must think, that gentlemen who possess those claims, though lodgers, have a greater right to exercise the franchise than a chimney- sweep or a shoe-black, who happens to live in a X6 house. These claims were fully consi- dered in the Conservative bill of last year; the framers of which looked especially "to the fitness of the recipients for the suffrage; and they did not embarrass themselves with calculations, or with alarms, as to the amount of the number who might receive that suffrage, so long as they were persuaded that those on whom it was conferred were classes who would accept it as a high privilege, and to whom it might be safely entrusted, with the conviction that they would exercise it for the general welfare of the community." —The franchises thus created, Mr. BRIGHT termed "fancy franchises." A "silly and unmeaning phrase," as Mr. DISRAELI termed it; which contained, however, an alliteration that tickled the ears, and was a popular form of language, "being especially a characteristic of rude and barbarous poetry." It was not, however, an argument in legislation; and said, Mr. DISRAELI, when we hear of an ob- jection to fancy franchises," it is a very re- markable circumstance, that this bill had not been a fortnight on the table, before we found distinguished Liberals rising from various quarters of the benches opposite, and propos- ing the introduction of what were denounced last year under that term." The lodger clause, especially, one of those franchises, is particu- larly pressed upon the House and if this is carried, it will include most of the classes on whom Mr. DISRAELI, last year, proposed to confer the right of voting. There are many thousand clergymen, dissenting ministers, clerks, schoolmasters, small funclholders, and pensioners, who will acquire the right to a vote through a lodger-qualification, and it is a great injustice that they should not possess it. The bill, however, as it stands, makes no pro- vision for them. It might have been drawn up four or five centuries ago. Except the land on which we tread, and masses of brick and mortar, there is no other property referred to, as a qualification for exercising the franchise, in a country where, for more than a century, we have been doing nothing but creating and accumulating various properties to an incalcu- lable amount. The bill is, indeed, of a mrcdi- aval character, but without the inspiration of the feudal system, or the genius of the middle acres. -This is a true character of the measure, which Mr. LEATHAM affirms possesses two great recommoildations-its simplicity and its honesty "—and the greatest objection to which, Mr. BRIGHT seems to think, is its rate-paying clauses. Mr. DISRAELi-drawing a vivid sketch of the prevailing features of the times in which we live-pointed out the danger of passir g a bill of this description,—a bill which will es- tablish the worst spocies of class-legislation,— under such auspices: and said he would not relinquish the hope, that, before the House went into committee, it would be withdrawn. We have no such hope. Lord JOHN dares not withdraw it, even if he would. It will pastz the' Commons, perhaps with the lodger-clause added; how it will fare in the Lords, we will not, at present, attempt to predict.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. I LONDON, Thursday. We are in the midst of a calm does it forebode 8 storm? Tlit ugh a bill i i before Parliament, ivbieli will either be completely "on-efftctive (and that no- body expects) or it will, i I all larlte boroughs, put the representaticn into the hands of a class of small, poor voters,-the great m;ijority of whom are igno- rant also,-yet, notiody appears to think anything about it. The ballot is negatived by a larger majo. rity than rejected it last year; but the event phsses over, in society, without calling forth a remark Neither last night, after the decision was known, nor to-day, can I find that anybody takes any interest in the question. Yet, to read the Star, you would sup- pose that it is, as JOHN BRIGHT says, at the door." and will soon walk in—being forced in by the public, If the doors are rot voluntarily opened to it by the keepers. I can neither hear nor see anything to in- dicate such a consummation bnt the Star avers it and doubtless there are those who think that JOHN BRIGHT'S organ cannot err. Then financial and in- dustrial changes are now slowly but certainly going on; which will produce a comp!ete revolution, for good or for evil, in all our trading and commercial transactions. Whilst the resolutions effecting these changes were before the House of Commons, the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER was besieged by deputations, and overwhelmed with letters but now they are passed,-a change seems to have come over the spirit of the dream of the agitators; and they are, except the paper makers, reduced to the silence of the grave. The enthusiastic supporters of the Budget and the Treaty-for here and there such a phenomena is met with-say that it is the suspense of preparation and soon all will be bustle, and ani- mation, and flourishing profitable trade. I wish it may; but I confess my doubts on that subject are not so easily dispelled. Mr. GLADSTONE, whose unsatisfactory state of health I have before noticed, appears to be ex- hausted by his labours. I am told-but I hope it is not true-that » his nerves are going." He suffered dreadfully from HORSMAS S attack upon him a fort. night ago. I understand that his medical attendants want him to leave London, which he cannot do at present. Heand Mrs. GLADSTONE go into the coun- try, however, every week, from Saturday to Moii- day and this change and relaxation bring a little relief-Sir GEORGE LEWIS has been suffering from influenza. He was seriously ill; and can now scarcely go through his duties. It was reported, a day or two ago, that he had resigned. This report was incorrect. He is unwilling to embarass Lord PALMERSTON, though he moat decidedly disapproves of the financial arrangement of Mr. GLADSTONE.— Lord Jon" RUSSELL IS also far from enjoying good b,ulth.-The PaEMLE* appears to be in about the ¡ best health and spirits of any member of th4 Cabinet Last night he spoke on the ballot-moi tion of Mr. HENRY BERKELEY in his odd style. He has now a bishopric and a judgMhip on his hands. There has been a long delay in filling up the See of Rochester. On dit, that Dr. VAUGHAN was asked to accept the appointment, and consented; but on telling Mrs. VAUGHAN (a daughter of the late Dr. STANLEY, Bishop of Norwich, and sister to the. Rev. A. STANLEY, Prebendary of Canterbury), she replied, Well, I think it right to tell you that I am a Roman Catholic I" The Dr. was astounded, and gave up the thought of accepting the mitre on re- ceiving this information. It is now said that the Dean of Westminster, Dr. TRENCH, will be the new Bishop. An attempt is mllkin to induce the Eccle- siastical Commissioners to divide the See; that may have something to do with the delay.-The seat on the Exchequer Bench, vacant by the death of Baron WATSON, will, it is rumoured, be given to Sir W11. ATHERTON, who will be succeede by Mr. WILDE, Q.C. If this should be correct, very probably Mr. WILDE, who is not now in parliament, will endea- vour aho to suceeed Sir WILLIAM as one of the re- presentatives of Durham. f I Mr. CROOK, M P. tor llolton, nas a on. Parliament for placing women and children em- ployed in bleaching-grounds, and elsewhere, under the factory acts, so as to prevent their being made to work, as they frequently are, 18 and 20 hours, and even occasionally more than that per day; I have just been reading a pamphlet, circulated by Mr. THOMAS HOPLEY, of Eastbourne, Sussex, calling on the women of England to petition Parliament in fa- vour of the bill. The names of 27 ladies are ap- pended to this pamphlet,-amongst them are those of the Marchioness of Londonderry, the Countess of Shaftesbury, the Countess of Portarlington, the Hon. Mrs. W. F. Cowper. Mrs John Arthur Roebuck, Mrs. Tail, wife of the Bishop of London, the Hon. Mrs. Davies Gilbert, Mrs. S. C. Hall, Mrs. Charles Dickens, Mrs. Wm. Howitt, Miss Harriett Mar- tineau, and other weU known female philanthropists. They make a most urgent appeal to their fellow- coutitrl -%vomen. and I earnestly hope it may be suc- cessful. A deputation, headed by the EARL OP SHAFTESBURY and Mr. CROOK, had an audience of the HOMF. SECRETARY yesterday, on this subject. I may add, that Mr. CROOK'S bill was read a second time, yesterday. There was a div:sion,-226 for the bill, to 39 against it. A great many more letters have been discovered at Eden Lodge,—the writers, Archbishop MOORE. Lord SHELBURNE, GIBBON, the DUKE of YOBK, Lords MALMESBURY, GRF.Y, and ELDON, FREDERICK the GREAT, HENRY ELIOT, who was Ambassador from England at his Court, Dr. PRIESTLEY, JACK LEE, the Americans, FRANKLIN, SILAS DEAN, and others. In these letters many interesting details connected with the Court of FREDERICK, and with the Reign of Terror in Paris, are met with and curious and im- portant reminiscences of the Court of FredericK the Great. There is, besides the letters, a M.S. work, in six vols., by Mr. EDF.N. the first Lord Auckland, enti led oj Notes on the French Revolution." There are also many particulars connected with the strug- gle between PITT, FOX, NORTH, and SHELBURNE, in 1782. Altogether, this collection, from all I can learn of it, from a gentleman who has had the in- spection of the documents, is unique, and one of the most valuable that has ever been brought to light. Two la(lies-one connected with the aristocracy of birth, the other with the aristocracy of talent, died on Saturday- Lady DOVER and Mrs. JAMESON. Lady DOVER was a daughter of the late, and sister to the present EARL of CARLISLE. Her mother was the eldest daughter of WILLIAM, the 5th Duke of De- vonshire. She was born the 10th of May, 1604; and married on the 7th of March. 1822, GEO. JAS. WEL- BORE AGAR ELLIS, second Viscount Clifden, who was createil Baron DovER during the life time of his father. He died in 1833, leaving three sons and two daughters, most of whom were with the Baroness when she died. Mrs. JA.MF.SON was the daughter of Mr. MUKRAY, an ai-tist ofeelebrity some 40 or 45 years back. She married Mr. ROBT. JAMESON, Vice Chancellor of Canada, who died in 1852. Her works have been generally read, and renders her very po- pular. The principal are-" Diary of an Ennuyée," Characteristics of Women," Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada," "Legends of the Monastic Orders," and Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters." She was a mostamiable woman, and was generally beloved and esteemed. On Wednesday week, JULLIEN, ibe celebrated musician, died in a mad house at Paris. A few weeks ago it was reported, that lie had attempted to commit suicide this was contradicted, but he has been un. der restraint since that period, and died in great po- verty A subscription is raising for his wife and his adopted daughter. BONAPARTE has made M. CHEVALIER, who negoci- ated the Treaty ot Commerce with RICHD. COBDEN, a senator. He is about 55 years of age, and was educated at the Polytechnic School. He has been on missions to the United States and England and his name was first brought into note, while he was engaged on the former, by some clever articles on the Railways of America, which appeared in the Journal des Drbats. He has been successively named Member of the Legion of Honour, Member of the Supreme Council of Commerce, Professor of Political Economy at the College of France, Member of the Chamber of Deputies (1845), Member of the Insti- tute and Councillor of State(1851), and now Senator. He is said well to deserve his dignities. In the city, there is no animation and on the Stock Exchange, all appears, at present, to dull, stale, flat, and unprofitable." People are afraid to speculate, because it is quite impossible to tell what turn affairs on the Continent may take. There is a very general opinion that NAPOLEON, contenting himsflf with Nice and Savoy, now will quietly pre- p-ir himself to reclaim" the Rhenish provinces at no distant neriod and that then a swoop will be made at Belgium- It is not improbable; but if the EMPEROR sh mid make the attempt still further to extend his frontiers, I believe he will raise a storm that will sweep him from his throne. The German people would rise to » man so would the Prussians. !iusia would not be behind in such a cause, and England would not remain neutral Though, with die aid of Sardinia, he beat Austria in Italy, the EM- PEROR would not stand against Austria and Prussia, and the German States, much less againet all Europe. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S reply to M. THOUVENEL'S last note is said to be moderate and courteous; but mode- ration, I think would cease, if the Rhenish provinces were re.claimed." These maybe all idle conjec- tures, but the intelligence received yesterday, that France is about to establish camps on her Rhenish and Belgian frontiers, a step which will be met with a corresponding one on the part of Prussia, added to the general uneasiness, and it will require some de- cided net, something more than mere words, on the part of NAPOLEON, to restore confidence.

THE TREATY. The Commercial Treaty with France is now formally accepted by both houses of the legis- lature and HER MAJESTY thanks the mem- bers for being prepared to take steps to as- sist in carrying out a measure, which is in- tended to promote commercial and friendly in- tercourse between this country and France, and to afford an additional guarantee for the security of peace. We shall be very glad if HER MAJESTY'S anticipations are realized; but really, unless we choose to submit, implicitly, to whatever the EMPEROR NAPOLEON chooses, —tacitly to sanction whatever policy he may think proper to adopt,-we really see no good grounds for anticipating such beneficial effects from the Treaty. Since it was concluded, since the financial measures connected with it have received the sanction of the House of Commons, our Government has had to protest against one of the EMPEROR'S acts. Who can tell how soon we may have to make another protest? And if we have, such steps will not tend much to guarantee the continuance of peace. The debate in the House of Lords on Thursday evening was short, it was dis- tinguisnecl by some 01 tne most aDie speecnes which had been delivered on the subject,— especially those of EARL GREY, LORD OVER- STONE, and the EARL OF DERBY. The two first-named noble lords, usually supporters of the Government, and the latter of whom was the great financial adviser of SIR ROBT. PEEL, were most decidedly opposed to the Treaty, and also to the financial measures of Aln. GLADSTONE. The speeches of these peers were strongly confirmatory of all we have urged on the subject; and we shall give one quotation from that of LORD OVERSTONE, shewing that MR. GLADSTONE has not, as he professes he has done, followed the policy of his great proto- type, the late member for Tamworth. I take the liberty of saying," remarked LORD OVER- STONE, "that, if there be any resemblance between the measures of 1842 and those of 1860, it is that of opposition. Sir ROBERT PEEL prided himself in encumbering his free- trade measures with no commercial treaties. He did what he thought right, for the bene- fit of his own country. He entered on his free-trade course of policy, because his country was distressed, and commodities were passing out of consumption, in consequence of persons not being jible to buy them. Is there anything like that now ? I think not; for if ever this country was in a state of prosperity, it is so at present; and there is no unnatural pressure on the springs of agriculture. The case is, there- fore, diametrically opposite to that with which Sir ROBERT PEEL had to deal. And on what principle did Sir ROBERT PEEL proceed ? He took off duties that pressed either on the raw materials of industry, or on the prime articles of the food of the people. But on what arti- cles are duties reduced by the treaty ? On wines, brandy, manufactured silks, gloves, French clocks, and watches! Yet we are told, that we are developing the policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL We are surprised that hon- ourable men would assist in palming such a flagrant fallacy on the public. EARL GREY and the EARL OF DERBY op- posed the Treaty on financial, commercial, and political grounds; the latter strongly object- ing to the present moment being taken to proclaim our acquiescence in a treaty by which we bind ourselves to the policy of France for ten years to come." It is certainly an in- consistent-a hazardous—step; but it is taken, and we must hope for the best. One thing is quite clear; and on that point all, except, perhaps, Mr. BRIGHT are agreed. Though Her MAJESTY hopes that the treaty will be an additiop al, guarantee for the security of peace, —it will not warrant the government to reduce our naval and military establishments. Those establishments must be kept up; the Volun- teer movement must go on; and we verily be- lieve that we shall find in those preparations —and in the manifestations of the national spirit shewn through the rifle clubs,—a much better security against hostilities than any the Treaty will afford. We did not anticipate a division in the Peers upon the address, as we knew that Lord 1 DERBY would not ask for one. Earl GREY, however, would not suffer ? to pass without the sense of their lordships being expressed, and 68 voted for, to 38 against it.
