In the course of the evening. "William E. Forrester, member for BradJerl, a'luded to the State law iu regard to the allegiance of British subjects, saying that this matter especially demanded atteution in tlie bearing it had upon the relations of this country with the United States, and he thought the time was now ripe for arriving at a definite understanding. He explained the law on the right; of expatriation, and showed that at the present time 2,000,000 of the Quean e subjects were living in the United States as American cittizens, in practical violation of these laws. It was the difference which arose between England and America in regard to the rights of adopted citizens which caused the war of 1612, and now, the difference which still existed, was counted os by the Fenians -as likely to embroil the. two nations, and thus further their treasonable design. He urged Great Britain to abandon her claim of life atlegiauee in the case of emigrants to foreign countries, and advise! the appointment of a mixed commission to settle the question f orever. S r Robert Collier then followed j with a speech, which supported the views or Forrester. ! Lord Stanley addressed the House. and, in speaking ot tne principles t upon which the laws were founded, I aamittea tnai ine aojraa oi natural alleg'ance was now obsolete.

He also stated j tlict the foreign office was now in : communication with Secretary Seward j on the subject, and concluded by ex- , pressing his approval of the proposi- j tiou ot the member from Brad.ord. ! Fcr rester, for a mixed comrr.ission. Baxter, member for Montrose, call ed at:entiou to the Trans-Atlantic Miii se:vice, and moved the adoption in the oj.iaion ot the ilouse. the I present system of. contracts, in which a fixed price is stipulated for carrying ' the American mails, is wronz; that pny should depend upon the effectiveness of the service, the performance of which should be open to all steamship lines."
