commanded- —we , who were able to cope with Napoleon , are not able to cope yri € k Bussia ? If such , is the l & nguageheKl'by the Administration—if they are pre- Toalred . to yield just what is demanded of them— though tlie noble lord acknowledges that at the end of i ; he nest campaign we shall probably he in a much better position—then I can under- stand the conditions under which we now —I will use the word- —sue for peace . { Hear , Juar . ) Kars has fallen . Before the Redan the Eng- list army has been repelled . The English navy has come back a second time from the Baltic without a single object accomplished . ( Hear . \ Our honour has been tarnished . ( Opposition cheers . ) Do not suppose
I ana speaking against the gallantry of our army . I recollect what was said abroad , that it was an army ** of lions led by jackasses , and I believe that to be a tc correct description . ( Cheers . ) This is the condition w in which we go for peace , and if peace be obtained how , when with all these sacrifices our honour is tarlljbished , will aiot Russia , I ask , have reason to rejoice ? { v * / There have been arrayed against her the two greatest w nations of the world j a fleet that has made the seas as safe to them as this floor ; an army of four different nations , and I am told * we | , have taken JSebastopol . ' Have we ? Are we not still held at bay there ? Are to i w
we not cooped up in a corner of the peninsula ; and is not Sevastopol as for out of our reach as it was a ye-ar ago ? ( Hear , hear . ) And shall it be said that this is a sufficierrt pi 5 ogfess to be achieved by our arms , and that-thisis a sufficient Reward of our labours ? Sir , I flb not like to assume the character of a prophet , but , af a peace is to b e bo preluded , Russia will be in C erasfeantinople in ten years . ( Hear , hear . ) And when r she is theret the Black Sea is hers , Asia Minor is hers , j Persia will he hers , Afghanistan will follow , and then , she touches on India . "
Supposfe Russia were to build gunboats at Nicliolaieff— would that be a casus belli ? If not , these gunboats would come into the Black Sea ; they would gefc under the guns of Sebastopol , and . beyoDd oiu * reach , aid in twenty-four hours they Would , be in Constantinople . The consuls we are to have in the Black Sea would not prevent this : we should remonstrate , but the building of the gunboats 'would continue . Mr . Tfcoebuck called upon the House to watcliL carefully over the hegortiators aad the negotiations of Paris . If , in another campaign , we drove Russia out fof the Crimea , and erected the Principalities , with Fessa- rabia , into- a kingdom * we should obtain something like an effectual guarantee .
Mr . Stafford bore testimony to the impro'ved state of / our hospitals in the East and of the -transport ships . —Sir Be Iuacy Evans insisted tliat it rwas not for English "objects we had embarked in the war , but for the . interests of Europe and of -humanity-. France was more deeply interested than England in preventing the aggrandisement of Russia- He doubted how far the propositions accepted by Russia were calculated tq lead to a permanent peace . —• Lord John Manners gave a conditional approval to the Austrian propositions . " —After some brief observations from Sir Henry Willou < jhby , Mr . Hadfield , and Mr . V . Scully , the motion for the adoption of the Address was agreed ' to nem . con . The House adjourned at half-past seven o ' clock .

G h fr i \ THE GUARDS MEMORIAL . Tn answer to Lord Goderich , Mr . F . Peel said the memorial presented by the officers of the Guards had been under consideration , and that it had been ascertained that the grounds on which it had been founded were erroneous , and no alteration would be made in the recent regulations , of which the officers of the Guards complained . { Cheers . ) THE ALIEN BILL AND COLONEL TtJRH . In answer to Mr . T . Duncombe ,
n ai Lord Palmerston said the Government had no intention of proposing any law relating : to aliens . ( Cheers . ) As to Colonel Turr , the Austrian government had declared themselves ready deliver him up to any English authority which was prepared to receive him . ( Cheers . ) In answer to Mr . Roebuck , Lord Palmerston said there would be no ndignity cast on Colonel Turr , but his liberation as to be pure and simple . ( Ckeers . ) JUVENILE REFORMATORIES . In answer to Sir J . Pakington .
a n p li Sir G . Grey said that the present system under which Juvenile Reformatories were regulated was adopted two years ago as an experiment , which had not yet been sufficiently tried to induce the Government at present to propose any change in the law .
. t j j tfATIOUAIi EDUCATION . Sir J . Pakington expressed , bis regret that no mention of the subject of national education was made in her Majesty ' s speech , and wished to know whether it was to be taken up by the Government , Or whether it was to be left only in the hands of a private member—Lord J . Russell ? ! Sir G . Grey said the Government fully recognised the value of the subject ; but be thought Sir J . Pakington must himself feel the hopelessness of passing a bill of the comprehensive nature which he desired this session ; but a bill would be brought in with the view of extending the present system as far as possible .
* < j < , MB . EOEBTJCK AND THE WAR . Mr . Bentinck complained of the opinions expressed by Mr . Roebuck in his speech on Thursday night with reference to the motives of England in going to war with Russia , and to the advisability of her carrying on the war alone 3 without earing about Allies , Lord J . Russell here interposed an . d brouglxt back the subject of education , and said he intended
to bring forward his views in the form of resolutions , for the purpose of puttingthe whole question before the House , which he thought better than introducing a Bill , which he had not much hope of carrying . He took the opportunity of expressing his gratification at the tone adopted by the House the night before in the great question of war and peace . He hoped that the feats of our soldiers at Sebastopol would be acknowledged by a vote of thanks from the House to the army .
Mr . Roebuck , then replied to Mr . Bentinck , and defended his speech in a fe w words of great energy . The Report of the Address , in answer to the Throne , was then agreed to . THE LAW OS PARTNERSHIP AND JOINT-STOCK
COMPANIES . Mr . Lowe moved for leave to bring in two bills for amending the laws relating to Joint-Stock Companies and Partnership .

Lord Lyndhorst gave notice of his intention to bring forward the question of the conferring a "life peerage" on Baron Parke .
