Mauritius Lowe , Miss Lowe ' s father , is now discovered to have been the "benevolent painter by whom Turner , at that time a barber ' s hoy , was £ rBt recognised , befriended , and saved to art ; in return for which fine action an ardent and renowned admirer of Turner ( whose name ¦ we need not indicate further ) , desires to gratify himhimself by bestowing henceforth £ 5 annually on the Misses Lowe , and permits us to publish such his resolution , if that can make it more binding . So that , on the whole , there is now as good as an ' additional annuity of £ 30 . '" two

The Bishop of Exefer entered into an explanation of the alleged right of bishops under the recent statutes relating to cemeteries . THE BOARD OF EDUCATION . Earl Grehtville mo-ved the second reading of a bill establishing a Vice-President of the Committee of Council of Education , and stated that he would , in fact ^ be the Minister of Public Instruction . A discussion followed , in winch the provisions of the mea » sure were generally approved . The House of Commons Offices Bill aud the Meti-opolitan Police Bill were read a second time . The House adjourned at a quarter past seven . HOUSE OF COMMONS . DECIMAL COINAGE . In answer to Mr . Wabner , The Chancellor of the Exchequer said a commission had been issued to inquire into the subject of decimal coinage . THE CRIMEAN REPORT . In answer to Mr . Pale , ¦ Mr . Peel said he should lay on tlie table the answers of Lords Lucan and Cardigan as to the allegations against them in the Crimean Report . Mr . Palk then gave notice of his intention to call the attention of the House to the allegations against the officers named in that repoit . Mr . La yak © asked the Government to give him an early day to bring in tiis motion on that subject . Lord Palmerston said it was too early in the session to ask such favours , and the lion , member had better " try his luck" in the ordinary way . FIteE INSURANCES . In answer to Mr . Palk , tiie Chancellor of the Exchequer said , it was not intended to repeal the duties on Fire Insurance . REWARDS OF PISTINGUTCSHED PERSONS AT THE REDAN . In answer to Mr . La yard , Mr . Peel said that reports had been sent off the names of officers in different divisions who distinguished themselves at the Redan , to General Shnpson , and had not bean added to his general report . Tho > se reports had been received at the War Office , and hie would inquire for them . OUR RELATIONS W £ TH AMERICA . On the motion for going into Committee of Supply , .. Mr . Roebuck brougM on the subject of four relatious with America , He thought that the statement on that subject which had been made public was incorrect , and he thought he had the means of correcting that statement . He believed that the statement that all that could have been done to conciliate America had been done -was not true . The state of the case was that Mr , "Cramptou , the Governor-General of Canada , and the Governor of Nova Scotia were directed to assist enlistment in America . It was said tnjit those instructions were withdrawn ^ and an apology made to the United States . But more had laeen 3 # » e than was stated ; for Mr . Crampton laid a plan with the Governor of Nova Scotia to evade the law of the United States ; that is , he tried to induce persons to leave the = States and enlist in Nova Scotia , which was as nauclh against the law of the United States as enlisting in tho States themselves . Mr . Eoebuok " th ^ n read extrac ts from tbe trial of one Hertz , in Pennsylvania , who was employed to induce
people to leave the States a . nd enlist in Nova Scotia . 3 lo urged that Mr . 'Crampton had bvolceu through the laws of neutrality , and the United States was justifiod Su demanding his zrecall , if he had exceeded lua instructions j if he had not , the apology made by our Government -was not sufficient , and was disingenuous . He aBlced to bo told distinctly what the instructions giv . en to Mr . Crampton were , beyond tho m , ere formality of telling him wot to break tho law . Mr . Hadfibld secouded the motion .
Lord Palmersikw eoid tfxo same roason whioh induce 4 tb , e American Government to withhold the correspondence on . this Bul > jeot from Congress , had induced our Government to withdraw it from Parliament . Ho then stated that the cor * osj ) ondonco was still in so imperfect a condition « a to prooludo ita being placed before the House , He would not , therefore , ontor into details ; all ho would flay was that tho instruction of the Government w « s that nothing should bo done to -violate the Iowa of the United StatoB . He would not yot avguo tho point put by Mi * . Koebu . olc , wi * h , regard to enticing men frpm America j but ho would my that © iforts wore made , and , a oonspiracy g ; ot up to fasten on Knglanfl a violation of tho law oif the United States . Ho utterly denied that the apology nondo was inaincoro or diaingpnuouB : it asvob not intended after it was given that onliatwaent should bo continuod ; and if
it had been continued , it was against the order of the Government . The apolojsry was not merely fOi > breaking the law of the United States , but , for anything which could be construed into such an attempt and was so considered by the Ameidciin Minister here . In fact , after the question was supposed to have been settled , it was reopened by the American Government . He deprecated the dealing with this question while it was still pending . Mr . Disraeli expressed hk opiuion that no discussion on the relations between this country and foreign countries should take place without full information
, and he should not support Mr . Roebuck but he denied the doctrine of Lord Palnierston ' that no member of that House had a right to call attention to the conduct of the Government in such transactions . He wished that all reserve should he observed on these occasions , but he was mot surprised that something should have come of the attempt of the noble lord in an ex-parte statement the other evening , to bind the House to certain opinions on this question . The noble Lord had said there was a conspiracy on the part of the American Government to entrap England into violating the laws of the United States .
Lord Pal . J £ erston said it was not to the American Government , but to certain persons unconnected with that Government that he had alluded to . Mr . Diskaeli after a few further remarks , expressed his hope of the continuance of amicable relations with America , and urged Mr . Roebuck to withdraw his motion . Mr . Roebuck then withdrew his motion . Mr . M . "Gibson asked -when the formal offer of arbitration on the Central American question was made . —Loi-d Palmerstqn said he did not remember ; but the papers when laid upon the table should give all the requisite information . The Revenue Department Estimates were passed through Committee of Supply .
The Chancellor of the Exchequer obtained leave to bring in a . bill to amend the laws relating to the Civil Sicrvice Superannuation . Several ' other Bills were introduced , and the House adjourned , at twenty minutes to twelve .
