Inthe House of Commons, cn the 20th ult., on the question that the report of the Jommittee on the Local Militia act be received, Lord J Russet! resapitulated the boiiee 8 Lapis) ie the proposed measure, the principal point sul wei to be found necesrities which existed for some such measure, and all bow anany Cage! : we tae ae wonld allow him to in- luce in order that its details might be fairl; + nd fally considered, 4 Lord Palmerston said it was exoredingly necessary ‘hat whatever measure was introduced should bs based upon a right principle. and the amendments which he intended to move upon the mivisterisl bill would make it legs objectionable in this respect, The chief amend- ment he preposed to move was intended to make the Aitle ofthe bill harmonize with ite provisions. Accord- ng to the title, the bill was intend-d to provide for the Jovying of o local militia, but the body which was to be raised aeoording to its provisions would not be local, Sut general; it would not be confined to England, or ireland, or Scotland merely, but was to be sent to Pert of the United Lay eed ere it might be required; in this respect he quite agreed with the government Zneasure, but he considered it to be improperly framed. ‘He thought, however, that the bill did not go far enough; the thought it should bave been funded upon the old regular militia act, and should have provided for the en- rolment of more effloient and « permanent military force, better fitted to it the country from any at- aoe which might be made upon it. (Cheers) The noble lord concluded by moving the omission of the word “local” from the title of the hill, Mr. M. Gibson contended that no casehad been made Sut for the application of the surplus to an increase of tbe armaments of the country, inrtead of ustng it for the yeduotion of those taxes which rest upon the humbler elesses. Considering the immenre «ums which hed been voted by the House from time to time, he could not be- Meve that the country was in so def-noeless a atate as re- presented, and he believed the bill had been got up for tical purposes. If, however, a militia were necessary, should infinitely prefer the proposition of the Prima to the amendment of Lord Palmerston. Lord J. Russell said he could understand the porition which was taken by Mr. Hume and Mr. Gibson, but he weally could not understand the opposition which had ‘een made by the noble lord (Palmerston ) Thet noble Serd came forward, and in what he must say was a most aihutual manner, ssid to the minister of the crown, you Bball not propose your plan to the House. but you shell ‘2éke « bill of my adoption. (Hoar, hear) There was never @ demand made before, and, of course, he would notegreeto it. (Cheers. Mr. Disraeli argued that, if a motion was intended by the geveroment. founded upon a principle which an in- dependent member believed to be erroneous, it was un doubtedly ccmpetent and constitutional for that mem- er to mov. smendment to it Sir G. Grey said that Mr. Disraeli had misunderstood i John Russell. What he had objected to was, that Lord Palmerston, instead of allowing the bill already to be brought in, asked that another bill should introdnoed instead, the details of which were not wn. Mr. Deedes supported the amendment. and Mr. Hume the ministry. Mr. 8. Herbert thought it would be bet- ‘ter for the word local to be omitted, in order that the ‘whole question might be open to consideration. After Yemarks from Colonel Thompron, Mr. Fox Maule, aud y eg is, the House divided; when the numbers were, Lord Palmerston’s amendment.

Thirty members voted in the affirmative, and se- yenteen in the negative, who refused to bind, themselves by any such pledge, as the members were frequently called upon to communicate the procesdings of the com: mittee to members of the ward committees and their whig constituents.

Several other motions Term, he suggested that it would be more convenient to commence this cause on Monday morning. Indepen- dent of this matter of personal convenience, he under- etood that out of a panel of some seventy jurors, only thirty-two bad answered to their names. ‘The District Attorney had no disposition to press on the case to the inconvenience of counsel, though he etood there day by day ready on the part of the govern- ment.

Mr. Cutting...-Nor the Spanish government, as my friend suggests. He (Mr.C.) meant te avow that he would get rid, if he could, of the very great, and in many instances overwhelming, ability of his learned friend. ‘The defendanta felt that it was pressing this matter, he would not say to persecution; that the goverment are en- deavoring to add to the talentaef the District Attorney. Poiltics should be kept out of court, and political influ- ences sbould not be brought to bear on individuals oharged with political offences, No head of adepart- ment, nor no other official, had a right to procure poll- tical aid for the perenne ofan slleged political offence, But they would be prepared to argue the |p when the gentieman appeared in thacause. He believed that this Was one of the evils which had orept into the administra- tion of justice. Parties in Washington, without the authority of pend Bred bad, from time to time, selected gentlemen to act in the proseoution of criminals; but he should like to know where the warraut comes from They (counsel for defence) say it is not legitimate In case Of the sickness of the District Attornay, a counsel might be appointed; but even then, he (Mr. 0.) should like tosee the warrant When it comes to the point that the gentleman shall put on the armor of the government, and fight under the banner of the District Attorney, they would be prepared to oppose it. The gentleman, of course, did not act without the honorarium; for coursel are not expected, nor were they in the habit of giving their time and profeseional services for nothing Bir. Ogden Hoffman said that though perhaps it did not become him to speak on the present occasion, yet he begged to offor afew observations asto his position there. He did not certainly come there in an honorary character; and the counsel was undoubdtedly right wh he eaid that no lawyer can be expeoted to gire his ti without remuneration. As to Mr. Qutting’s regret making the objection, and bis flattering observations, Mr, Hoffman thought he should bs obliged to take them as 8 gilded pill; but the gentlemen may bauish all regreta, and state their caso a3 strongly asthey can. When such able, eminent and distinguished counsel (and he hoped they would not think he was taking from the other side the stereotyped compliment.) were eugaged for the defence, was it to be objected to thrt his humble aid should be given to the District Attorney to eviscerate the truth? If the court shoud deem the Carper of counsel for the prosecution unprecedented, he would of ocurse bow to the decision; hut it was a practice as old as the government Iteelf,and from its infancy walk-4 side by side with the government. Mr. Hoffman then re- ferred to the precedents in the case of Colonel Burr; and if politics were to be epoken of. to the trial of Mr. Smith and Mr. Ogden Mr. Pierrepont Edwardscame here tc arsiot Mr. Bandfcrd in thet oase. Mr. A. referred to other cases He believed that one of the counsel for the defence, (Mr. Van Buren) when Attorney General, has had counrel scting with him. The precedent has been universal, without cavil; and when he foand himself sheltered by the preeedent of such men, he did not think that so humbl individual as he, should be sub- jeoted to sucha rdinary motion a; this. He un- understood that Mr. Blankman, who was not now in court, was assoeisted with the learned gentleman. Mr. H. concluded by humorously bing vor a compromise, by paying if Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Cutting would with- rt he (Mr. H) would consent to leave the battle be- tween the District Attorney and Mr. Blankman Mr. Van Buren would like Mr. Hoffman to state by whom be is employed. District Attorney, who was on his legs, said that be would state it.

Evarte, bis assist- ant.applied to the Secretary of State, and through him to the President, and it was suggested that Mr. Hoffman should be engaged. He was therefore employed by the government; and if he had not been engaged by the go- verpmert, he (Mr. Hail) should have suggested to the President to appoint some person to take @ portion of the labor of this case off bis hands; and there is no gentle- man at the bar whom he should have named before Mr. Hoffman, The detendant, Mr. O'vullivan, himes'f a law- yer, has selected two of the most eminent practising lawyers at the bar for bis counsel; and could it be eup- pored that he (Mr. Hail) shculd meet them alone for the NOMINATION OF DANIEL WEBSTER FOR THE Presidency of the United States. Meeting Last Evening at Metropolitan Hall, Last evening, at half past seven o'clock, ® meeting was held at Metropolitan Hall, puruant to advertisement, An immense Union flag, bearing the name of Daniel ‘Webster, was extended across Broadway, from the hall, but the enthusiasm within did not appear te equal this demonstration outside. The seats were removed under the impression that there would not be room, and that the building would be filled by persons standing, but it ‘Was not one third filled, and the effect was very bad, for those in front intercepted the view of all bebind, who accordingly pressed forward, and the continual moving and sbofiling of feet rendered the Proceedings, to a great extent, inaudible. On the whole, the meeting was teme and cold.

Mr. HE. then read the address, which will be found subjoined to this report. At first mention ef the name of Mr. Webster in the address there was great and long continued applause. During a por- tion of the address there was some hissing on the part of thore who did not relish the laudation, ‘The reading of the address having been concluded, it was put to the vote and adopted. Mr. Moses H. Gninneit then came forward and sald: — Mr. President and fellow-citizena, I rice for the purpose of bringing before this meeting the resolutions which I held in my band—resolutions fraught with deep and abiding interest tous as citizons of this great commer cial city Their object is to present to this assemblage the name of a man whom we delight to honor, and hope to honor as next Presi¢ent ofthe United States.

Mr. G. then read the resciutionr, which will be found appended, with the ad- are rs, Great cheering followed the resolutions which were adopted by @ majority, there beirg several “noes,” sgeinet them, which caused some laughter.

Mr, Hali then cited several oases of precedent. Mr. Webster had been employed in @ crimi- Dal csse; and he (Mr. H_) contended that the President bad the power to employ counsel in civil and crimiaal promectons on behalf of the United States. He alluded to the trial of Douglass and Benson for murder, when he was ill and could only sppear in court, but took no part in the proceedings. ir, Kvarts, bis assistant, and Mr. Hoffman, who was employed by the goverment, appeared for the prosecution. Should crime go unwhipped of jas- tice because a District Attorney was unable'to attend’ He (Mr. Hall) eould not yield to this objection. Mr. Ucitman is employed by the party who aione, in the discharge of his high trust, can employ him. Mr. Ven Buren remarked that the discussion was somewhat out of piace; but after what had been said, it would be well for tha Court to understand thet the precise question the defendant desired to put, was whether the President of the United States has the suthority to employ counsel while the proseouting of- ficer is entirely compevent to discharge his duties, and while there is no anticipation of extraordinary labor. He (Mr. Van B) said that the President has no autho- rity toemploy aa individual to assist the District At | toreey. If he hae such authority, it should be given to him bylaw.
