Mr. lUBDEX after presenting a must of petitions, brought torwaid his motion, in the form of an ltd- dress to Her Majesty. that foreign Powers be invited to concur in treaties hindillg the parties to refer any J11lt!cr:l 10 dilHjte between them, which cannot be uriangi d LJy uuJicdble negotiation, to arbitration.- lit be^an bv expressing his regret that there should be o much niiMipprenension upon the subject of his in itio.i, and lelened to the sneer" thrown out by Mr. Disraeli upon it. in the mutter just brought be- fore the H. use, relaiive to the condut of America Ku() Ru«[.tto?a?:s our JDi!ng navigators, and he accepted ,I" ill.t. os a proof lhat we lived in altered time! With reference to this motion, he represented two dis ini't eh.se. body or Cliiistiaus who upon principle lepudiiited the doctrine of war in any case; und a l uge pio. ortioii of the middle and working classes, who entertained all ubhorence of war, and iiesued a uuaruiilee against future hostilities. He did not ask the U.iuse to pledge itself against war (oi deiensive objects but assumed that it would not sanction so great a calamity unless it was im- peratively demanded 111 vindicating our honour and ,,u: just interests. His plan was to adopt for com- munities the mode of adjustment resorted to by in- dividuals, by employing arbitrators, not necessarily crown, I he ids,—who had, however, arbitrated suc- cessfully,—but commissiollers; and Mr. Cobden ad- duced instances in which, during the last fifty years, c )uIl11:"lSh)(le! had been employed to adjustdisputet, r.etwe. :i nations, and in no instance had such arbi- tialtou led to wu. There was therefore, nothing veil novel, III 01& plan; Ilor could the:" be difficulty in the iJctai sot a uiude ol procedure which was hit- IlIt.11I1 ¡II "ate lite. file worst that could be said ot his plan was that it would fail in averting war; but in that event OUI situation wouid be no worse, IIId1 1'; t' \1" a chance of its bein amended. Mr. EWAllT, in a few words, seconded the motion. Lurd PALMERSTOX assured Mr. Cobden that in opposing his motion he did not mean to treat him, or those whoile organ he was. with anything but the greatest possible respect. He agreed with him in attaching the greatest value to peace, and in enter. taining the utmost horror of war; and he was glad that Mr. Cobden had made his proposition, because it wvud c nvince the world of our sincere and honest desire to maintain peace. But whilst it was desira- ble to tliow that ill Knglarid there was a fervent love of peace, thew should not exist all impression that that 111 inly spiiit ol Englishmen was dead. and that England W is not as ready as ever to repel injury and aggression, tor nothing would be more danger- ons. than that till opiitwn should go abroad that so rooted was our aversion to war that we would sub- mit to anything to avoid it. This was an answer to ,he conmiaint of Mr. Cobden against the provident precaution against a possible war. lie opposed the motion because he considered the plan to be lounded upon all erroneous principle, and it would be found to be impracticable. The plan would be not only impracticable as respected foreign nations, but it would be dangerous for England to submit her rights to the tinal judgment of a foreign Power; and his opinion was not removed by the proposal to substi- tute lor a Governmcnt. which acted in the face ot the world, some irresponsible private persons, THe prin- t-iple ufttie pliii new, tor Mr. Cobden had cited no cuse of successlul arbitration the cases he had adduced were cases of mediation or inapplicable to his argument. It was most desirable that where two nations ilnl'ered they should come to all understand- ing to allow a friendiy ilnrd party to step in aud bring them to a compromise and the present prac- tice opened a djor of this kind vt mediation, which was becoming Irequent. lie should be soiry to meet the motion in such a way as to appear to negative the pii.icii.lt- upon which it was loundeil; he would, the etme, meet it by moving the previous question, which, though not stiictiy applicable, was the most courteous w:,v 01 n-sisiing the ul0tion. ;\1,. M. bllisOX and )1: ILOEBIUCK supported the motion. Lord J. KUSSEU, did not think thnt Mr. Cob- dan's plan would alfoid a belter means of preserving peace than the present mode, and he pointed out the many difficulties attending the devolution of all po- litical disputes to arbilidtuio- Thc advance of ci. vilization !Htli D1l1j4.:dttd the Imiioisot war, aud lie paw no reason why, in its further progress and de velopeutent, war might not be stigmatized generally as barbarous; aud U lai as lelatid to the maintain- ing of peace by not pertinaciously insisting upon points in which our national honour was not iiivulv- ed, hf" agreed with the spirit of the motion. Several other members also took part in the debate. Mr. CObUEN having replied, the House divided when the previous question was carried by 1713 against 79. The House adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock. IIOUSE OF COMMONS,-NVEDNESOAY.. Mr. BROWN presented a petition from Manches- ter in favour of the Bankruptcy Bill.

Mr. HUME said there could be no doubt that the object of county membeis was to delay and post- pone the measure.
