Leader Office, Saturday, July 28. House ...
Leader Office , Saturday , July 28 . HOUSE OF LORDS . Ko business of any interest or importance occurred in their lordships' House , the proceedings being chiefly confined to passing several bills a stage .
House Of Common's. The Ti'ricisti Loan. ...
HOUSE OF COMMON ' S . THE TI'RICISTI LOAN . The House had a morning sitting , and went into committee on the Turkish Loan . Mr . Gladstone renewed his objections to the bill , contending that the joint anil several liabilities between France and England did not carry with it equal rights . He admitted , however , that , notwithstanding all its objectionable features , it was better to accept the measure rather than run the . risk of the consequences which would follow its rejection . Lord Palmkkstox paid he had not expected a renewal of the discussion at that stage of the bill , and it was arranged that it should bo received in tho morning .
LIMITED I-IAniLITV . The discussion in committee on this bill was renewed , and the first clause taken , The result was that the provision relating to limitation of capital was omitted from the clause , and 10 / . shares were substituted lor 25 / . shares . oui > i : n OF ausniT . In answer to Lord Ki . ono , Lord Palmkkstox said it was intended as early as possible to issue a dec-oration as an Order of Merit ; some delav had taken place , but it would soon be Issued
IKISII ( il'AKOS . In answer to Mr . V . Scully , Lord Palmekston . said that it had been considered by tho Government whether a . regiment of Irish Guards bhould be established ; and while duly appreciating tho services of the Irish in tho army and navy , they yet thought it not desirable to extend tho number of privileged corps in the army .
ltKClMAL COXNAOK . A discussion arose with regard to tho Commissioners to imjuhv into the question of Doeunnl CTinnge , in the course of which the CiiANcrci-Lon of tiik Exohkquku miH Mr . ( Jladstonb vindicated tho impartiality of tho Commissioners , and denied that any of thorn had formed opinions on tho subject . OMAlt TACHA . In reidv to Sir J . Waumi , Lori PAl-MBit-srca * said
that Omar Pasha had gone to Constantinople for the purpose of making arrangements respecting some military equipments , but he had no intention of resigning his command .
THE TURKISH LOAN . _ Jlr . Walpole renewed the discussion on this question , Btating that the translation of the treaty was defective , as in the original there was no word corresponding with , the term " several" in the English version . The Chancellor of the Exchequer explained away the inaccuracy , and proceeded to reply to Mr . Gladstoxe , and urged that the principle of the guarantee was even preferable to any loan which had been negotiated since the last war ; he denied that there was any difference between the rights and liabilities of the two nations who had entered into the guarantee .
Mr . Gladstone declared that his questions had not been answered , urging that the British . Government was liable in the first instance to the creditors under the Loan , and they had no remedy either against Prance or Turkey . He strenuously protested against the right of Government to enter into such a treaty before obtaining the sanction of Parliament . The Lord Advocate declared the joint and several liabilities of the two powers to be complete , and capable of being enforced . Mr . M . Gibson denounced the attempt on the part of the Executive Government to make treaties involving the taxation of the people without the previous consent of Parliament , The debate then became general and desultory , embracing Mr . Wilkikso > -, the Solicitok-General , Mr . HiiXLEY , Mr . J . McGregor , and other members .
Sir . Disraeli denied the assertion tuat the refusal of the House to sanction the convention would have endangered our alliance with France , and asserted the right of Parliament to review treaties of this nature , and mentioned the fact that in 1852 an arrangement come to between the Government of this country and France was put an end to without causing any disturbance in the amicable relations of the two countries , lie should now and always oppose propositions of this kind , which were only subsidies in disguise . 3 Ir . Labouchere supported , and Mr . Caedwell opposed the treaty . 3 Ir . Gladstone having again spoken , Lord Palmebstox closed the debate in a very brief speech . The clauses were proceeded -with .
Mr . 31 . Gidsox moved as an amendment in one of them that a return of the payments made by Turkey should be punctually published . It was opposed by the Government , and a division took place . The numbers were :: — Tor the amendment , 36 ; against it , 124 ; majority against it , 88 . The bill then passed through committee . The other orders were then disposed of .
