Parliament. The Marquis Of Normanby Oh F...
ho . i . member made some rather strong personal remark s on the alleged ¦" superciliousness" of the Chancellor of the ExcffEauER , when a question was put to him on this subject an evening or two previously . the Chancellor of tl , e Exchequer , after d e fending himself from the charge with spirit , replied to the question that , t was unusual to hear counsel at the bar oil such occasions , and . the rule could not now be departed from . In reply to a question by Lord H . V . Tempest , Lord J . Russell said the Government had communicated with Austria , Prussia , and Russia , to obtain theirviews orv the subject of the proposed annexation of Savoy and Nice . Neither the Cabinets . of Berlin nor Vienna had come to . any decision , and no commutation had as vet been received from St . Petersburg . The opinion of the British Government with regard to Switzerland was unchanged . The adjourned debate on the French treaty was then resumed . Mr . Horsma ^ raijed . ni good set terms at the treaty , objecting to it oh the ground that it was likelto be unfair in its operation , and that it conceded too much to
y France . Mr . . Disraeli objected to the treaty on three grounds , financially , commercially , and politically . The right lion , rentleman attempted to make out his case by showing that revenue was needlessly sacrificed ; that our commerce would not be benefited , but the contrary , and that France was strengthened and this country weakened . Mr . Gladstone reprobated some of the remarks of Mr . Horsman as being irritating to France , and improper from one nation to another when at peace . After going at large into a defence of , the treaty , a good deal of minor debating took place , and as it was quite evident that Government would . have an ¦ overwhelming majority Mr . Horsman wished to withdraw his amendment . This , however , Hie House would not permit , and the amendment was lost by 282 to 56 , the largest majority which Government has yet obtained . Monday was another opposition" fieldlakenotice of motion
day . " A discussion occurred on Mr , . King- ' s relative to Savoy . Some sharp exchanges took place between Mr . BiSRA ^ LT , Lord " J . Russell . Lord Palmiirston , Mr . Horswan and Mr . Fitzgerald . Nqtliimr , however , came of the ' impromptu discourse . The abolition of " the paper duty was the piece da resistance of the evening . Sir W . Miles moved that the Bill for the abolition ot the duty be read that day six months . It will only be necessary to enumerate the ' speakers pro and con , the public generally being thoroughly in possession of the arguments on both sides . Mr . Morris , Mr . A . bwcK , Mr . Maguire , Mr . M . Gibson , the Chancellor of the Exchequer , v .-ere for ; Mr . A . Miles , Lord R . Cecil , Mr . IIorsman , Sir J . Pakixgton , against . The division proved a fourth Ministerial triumph , the numbers being 2-J 15 to 192 . a majority of 53 , which is the smallest mnjoiily Government have vet obtained . The " Affairs of Italy was under discussion
the most exciting of all the varied topics brought on Tuesday . Lord J . Russell further explained the course Government had'taken , the strong objections urged by him against the annexation of Savoy by France , and the avowal that the policy of Great Britain was to leave ' the Italian'States in perfect freedom to choose their own rulers and form of government . The influence of . Great Britain had tht ' 0 U liput only been employed for the interests of Europe aiid peace , Mr . Whitesidk , after going at considerable , length over tlic public despatches , came to the conclusion . that Lord J . Russell had not been altogether judicious in following out the line of policy he had himself indicated .- ' Mr . M . Ahi . nks was against the proposed transfer of Savoy and Nice to France , and hoped Government would bring all its-weight against the annexation . Mr . Horsman had no wish . for war with France , hut some bounds must be put to the aggressive policy which he feareel
was hut too apparent on the part of tl . e French Emperor , Lord H . Vane desired to have all the information possible on such subjects , from time to time , laid before Parliament . Mr . Griffith did not Ihinlc the French Emperor , under ( ill circumstances , was entitled to ask for Savov from Sardinia . iSlr . Kinkaird euloguei Count Cavouk , by asserting that if Italy ever attained independence it would be through the exertion and ability of that eminent man . He was averse to the proposed annexation , and if it were executed he was satisfied the Emperor of the French would soon discover he had mndc a fatal political .. blunder . Lord Palmkuston denied that lie or the Government desjreil to prevent the dkeiission of tins important question , unless in the form of a formal censure mi tho French Emperor . He insisted that the course of Government had throughout been cl « ar _ ana annexation of
consistent , There might be great objections to tho hovoy , but there was nothing in the question to warrant this country going to war to prevent that annexation . Referring to Count Cavouii the noDlo Lord declared that History would regard him fts one of the greatest and moat distinguished patriots twit had ever adorned any country . Mr . Diska ma contended Hint Lord J . Hussrll lmd m > t exhibited that perception (> f tho true ' stnte of the question which he oug ht-to Imvu ( tone , wild which had he done in its earlier stages might have prevented entirely or mitigated materially the present difficulty . We < id not denounce the policy of the French Emperor so fiercely as Lord J . kusskll had done , but ho considered that tliis policy demanded the calm and careful consideration of the country . If hostile events should follow tne annexation of Savov , Lord J . Russell and hia government would Do responsible to history and the country for the calamities that must ensue . Mr . Kinglakic thought the present discussion would tend tonllay irritation and smooth the path before the British Government . As tho annexation not think
of Savoy was only contingent ; on certain circumstances ho did it advisable to probe the question further at presont . Mr . -Fitssqbrald considered tho ( one of Government was more satisfactory than it had neon , lie faired that the annexation would be completed before Parliament had an opportunity of dismissing it . Mr . B . O ' snonNic fjaid if Lord J . Kussrll ' s language was now more aatiafaotory to Mr . Fitzokrald ho oouiu only suy that Mr . Fitzokuald ' h language was now more satisfactory * o Lord J . ' Rvusku .. After a low explanatory remarks from Lord J . Ru 88 i ! i < L , the papers moved for wero . lp . id on tho table , —U » werineaday , Mr . L . Kino moved the second reading of the Rohgioua , U orship Ml , 'the object being to extend that freedom Jenjoyed by every otlicr religious denomination to the olorgy of the Church of linginn d . By t , liis Bill service might be performed by clergymen in otlior than sacred edifices , Mr . Wai . poi . is considered that tho Bill would neither give satisfaction to tho members of tho . Established Church , nor serve tiie interests of religion . The UiU was good in principle foul required to be
materially modified before it passed the Legislature . Lora R . Cecil objected to the Bill as calculated to destroy the just influence of bishops within their dioceses .. The noble lord then , referring , to the Jewish members-, said such discussions as the present moment must be regarded by them as an insult . Sir F . Goldsmid , on behalf of the Jewish members , asserted that they were as anxious , as Protestant members for parties brought up in the Christian faith to have full facilities for performing their reliaious duties . The Chancellor of the Exchequer censured Lord R . Cecil for his reference to Jewish members . As far as-regarded the Bill he could not support it in its - present shape . Mr . HorsfalIi doubted whether rectors and incumbents , as asserted , were favourable . to
the Bill . Mr . Ayrton suggested that the Bill , should he . suffered to go into committee and there amended . Mr . Bouverie objected entirely to the Bill as it stood , and would . therefore move that it be read that day six . months . Mr . Bass considered the Bill itself sensible and unobjectionable . Mr . Adderly did not approve of the . Bill . He thought the way to remedy the evil the Bill proposed-to reach , was by giving bishops " greater facilities for ousting those clergymen from pulpits whose teaching showed they were unfit to occupy them . Sir G . C . Lewis supported the amendment . After a good deal of discussion the Bill was lost by 1 G 8 to 131 . The Adulteration of Food Bill passed through Committee . On Thursday , in the House of Lords , the newly-elected peer , Lord Tauntox . moved that the House agree with the Commons in the Address on the Treaty of Commerce . His lordship
asserted that the measure was popular throughout the country , and that the concessions made in the new treaty were necessary for our own sakes . After touching upon some of the principal objections which bad been made , he said , with regard--to French wine , that its admission into this country would be attended with vast results , as providing a wholesome substitute for the adulterated alcoholic fluids so largely consumed at present He considered that our finances were in such a state as to justify trie Chan- , . cello ' u of the Exchequer in sacrificing the revenue derived from the wine duties for the sake of the benefit their abolition would confer . He laughed at the idea of our supply of coal becoming exhausted ; and as to the shipping-interest , he thought , that the stipulations of the treaty were decidedly advantageous to British shipping , as it placed English nnd French vessels on the same footing . That being the case , he saw no aiiss for despondency on the part of British sliii ) own .-ri .
