The London Times, of the Tth.of February has the followmng in its city article; — committee of bondholders of the confederate cot- n have presented to-day a memorial to Her Majes- government, on behalf of their claims, accom- ed by the opinions of Mr. Fleming, Queen’s coun- and Mr. J. H. Lioyd. The fact of this loan having cial hypothecation of cotton, which was forcibly n by the North, they consider places their stock in a #.oVromt position to an ordinary confederate loan. Tp the English House or ise. on the 7th instant, 1rd “& a@onards laid upon the table s but rur the e «b!'shment of courts of conciliation and arbitration. Ee explained that {ts object was to provide for the attlement of disputes between masters and workmen. Courts of conciliation already existed in France, and had been found to work satisfactorily. He believed that ‘he establishment of similar institutions in England would tend greatly to put @ stop to strikes, The bill ‘was read a first time, In the House of Commons on the same evening Lord ®anley, in reply to Mr. Lusk, seid that ever since the eepture of the Tornado by Spain in Augest last, the attention of the government had been anxiously directtd to the case, and he had been in constant communication ‘with the law officers of the Crown with respect te it, According to international law they were bound to sub- mit the cage to = Spanish tribunal; but he had remon- stra‘ed against the unreasonable length of time occupied by the preliminary investigation; and as soon as the trial was completed, acting under legal advice, ho had protested against the illegal and informal charaoter of some of the proceedings. He was not yet able to state the result of that protest, but hoped in a short time to Jay all the papers on tho table. * In the House of Lords on the 8th inst,'the Proposed London reform demonstration of the 11th of January ‘was debated. Earl Derby strongly deprecated such de- monstrations, but admitted that the government could mot interfere 60 long as there was no breach of the peace: It has been officially announced in London that royal commissioners are nominated to inquire into and eon- sider the character, working and effects of tho laws of England available for the enforcement of nenirality @uring the existence of hostilities between other States ‘with whom her Majesty is at peace, and to inquire and veport whether any and what changes onght to be made tm such'tawe for the purpose ef giving them increasing @Mciency and bringing them into fuli conformity with fmternational obligations, ‘The London Journals were discussing the prospects of She government in thelr project for meeting the reform qnestion by rosolutions, instead of by a regular bill. he London Star says those who imagine that reform is Seubject which'can be settled in any manner but by s @uir stand up fight between the contending parties, will @ad themecives mistaken. With regard tothe projected English Parliamentary @ommission on tho subject of trades’ unions, a meeting ef the Working Mens’ Association was held in London gm the 5th inst. under the presidency of Mr. Potter. Fhe opinion was very generally expressed that aay Yogiziation upon the subject of trades’ unions by a Parlia- ment in which labor was entirely unrepresented was not Mxely to be satisfactory or beneficial to the members of trade societies, Qveen Victoria will bold, during the season at Buck- tagham palace, five courts for the reception and pre- sentation of acertain number of ladies and gentlemen, the !1mit being two hundred and sixty at eack court. Fhe Prince of Wales will again hold levees and the Princess of Wales ‘‘drawing rooms” on bebalf of the Queen. In the House of Commons in London, on the 6th instant, Mr. Kavanagh, the new member for Wexford county, Tre- Jand, having reither hands nor feet, was brought to the table in a wheeled chair to be sworn. The honorable member, after taking the oath, signed the parliamentary roll by placing the pen between tho ends of his arms, ‘He appeared to write with great fluency, After signing Bis name he was in thé usual form Introduced to the Rpeaker, to whom he bowed, and then, by placing his rms in brass sockets and turning some screws which eperated upon the wheels of his chair, he passed out of the House. Considerable curiosity was manifested, and several honorable members went to the tabie to inspect Mr. Kavanagh’s signature, After the House rose Sir D. Le Marchant, Captain Gosset and Colonel Forester were engaged in finding asuitable place in the House for the Donorable member during the debates. A virulent outbroak of the cattle plague had taken Place at Islington, London. A considerable number of eatmals had been destroyed and other vigorous measures adopted to prevent the spreading of the disease. After a protracted trial of the four persons charged ‘with the scuttling of the British ship Severn, with the ebject of defrauding the underwriters, and which had attracted great attention in the mercantile world, the Jory returned a verdict of guilty, and the following sen- fences were passed. Berwick, the owner ot the ship, and Holdsworth, the broker, twenty years penal serv!- tude; Wobb, the mate of the ship, who bored tho holes fm her, ten years, and Dean, the broker's clerk, five yearn The prosecation said there were fifteen other @hargee against Berwick and Holdsworth for scuttiing ships. Application was made to Sir Thomas Henry, the Chief ‘Magistrate of the Bow street Police Court, London, for ‘warrants for the arrest of Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant Brand, on the charge of being guilty of the morder of Mr. Gordon, who was executed by sentence of court martial in Jamaica. After hearing arguments the ma- @etrate granted the warrants, and on the following day Lieutenant Brand was arrested and brought up, re- ‘manded and released on bail, Colonel Nelson had not been apprehended. There had been rmors of a dissolution of the French Chamber of Deputies {rom some imaginary fear of the ‘opposition of the majority to the roforme Proposed by he Emperor Napoleon, but the rumors are not supposed to be well founded. La France, of Paris, says a discussion by the Council of Btato relative to the reorganization of the army bad hed the effect of bringing forward for fresh consideration decisions which bad previously been abandoned: and it question simply of reviving the iaw of 1899, and at the eame time of redueing the terms of service and or. @anizing & pational guard mobile. An impenal French decree had been ‘arved Aotermin. fing the reiationa of the Senate and Corps Législaut towards the Emperor and tho Council of State, and establiching the organic conditions undor which their labors will be conducted. This decree, which is a mod). feation of that of January 19, contains no important Jogislations not already known. The Spanisti goveroment had raised the decree of exile lately iaeued against Marsha!

In order to make the return com- plete, if-we desire to have a return of the state of the navy as the noble duke found it and as he left it, I think it will not be sufficient merely to have an account of the state of the reserve, but it witl be necessary also to have an account of the various vessels withdrawn, lost or otherwise disposed of during the same period. The rea- son why I lay stress on obtaining accounts of exch sepa- rate year 18 because I find an extraordinary discrepancy in the accounts for the years in question, I confine my observations entirely’ to etho building of Vessels, and I find that in the first five years of tho noble duke’s admmistration of the navy, large sums were taken for building "vessels, but it 18 a matter open to question whether in the last two yearsout of the seven o: the noble dake’s administration, sufficient pains were taken by the Ad- miralty to keep up the stock of vessels of a description fitted for war. The variation in the estimates is remark- able. For 1860-61 the amount for building by contract was £1,478,000; for 181-62 it was £1,621,000: for 1862-68 it was £ 1,470,000; for 1863-64 it was £857,000; for 1864-65 it was £582,000; for 1865-66 it was £564,000, and for 1867 it was £318,000. In these two Inst years tho eStimates fall very far below the estimates for building ip the previous years, In 1865-66 the estimate for an fron-clad vessel was £120,000, but no work was dono in that respect, and the money was-returnod to the Ex- ehequer, and out of the estimate of £318,000 taken in the last year for new ships, only £67,000, were ex- pended, though all this time foreign countries, and especially France, were rapidly increasing their navios, and we are told in the report I have quoted that during the same period fifty-two steamers and fifty-one gunboats were lost to the service. The noble dake says that the estimates of the navy depend on the number of men, and that is true to a great extent. The voble duke added that the estimates do not depend on the First Lord of the Admiralty; and I understand that the noble dake found that daring the last years of his administration very considerable difference of opinion prevailed be- tween the Treasury and the Board of Admiralty with re- 7. to the amount necessary to provide for keeping up the strength of the navy. Having made these observa- tions in vindication of my right honorable friend against any supposition that he made a charge against the noble duke, I can only say that I have listoned with isfaction to the observations of the noble duke, and have not the slightest objection to farnish the return in 4he form I have suggested. (Hoar, hear.) THE EASTERN QUESTION.
