TUESDAY.— At twelve o'clock the Earl of Shaftesbury, one of the Deputy Speakers of the House of Lords, took his seat on the wool- sack, when the Bishop of Bristol as the junior Spiritual Peer, read prayers. Shortly after one o'clock the Lord Chancellor entered and took his seat on the woolsack. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland and the Duke of Wellington, who bore the sword of state, entered together. The Spiritual Peers entered the House nearly at the same time and took their seats immediately before the Ambassadors. At 20 minutes past two o'clock his Majesty, accompanied by the Great Officers of State, entered the House, when the Peers and Peeresses remained standing until his Majesty took his seat on the throne. A message was then despatched for the Commons, who entered the House in a tumultuous manner. As ' soon as order was Testored, his Majesty proceeded to read the following Speech in a clear and distinct manner:— " My Lords and Gentlemen, " 1 avail myself of the earliest opportunity of meeting you in Parliament, after having recurred to the sense of my people. " You will, I am confident, fully participate in the regret which I feel at the destruction, by accidental fire, of that part of the ancient Palace of Westminster, which has been long appropriated to the use bf the two Houses of Parliament. " Upon the occurrence of this calamity, I gave immediate direc- tions that the best provision of which the circumstances of the case • would admit, should be made for your present meeting, and it will be my wish to adopt such plans for your permanent accommodation as shall fee deemed, on your joint consideration, to be the most fitting and convenient. " I will give directions - that there be laid before you the Report made to me by the Privy Council in reference to the origin of the - fire, and the evidence up « n w> hich that Report was founded. " The assurances which I receive from my Allies, and generally from all Foreign Princes and States, of their earnest desire to culti- Tate the relations of amity, and to maintain with me the most . friendly understanding, justify < n my part, the confident expectation • of the continuance of the blessingsof peace. " The single exception to the general tranquillity of Europe, is the •- civil contest which still prevails in- some of the northern provinces of . Spain. " I will give directions that tihere be laid before you, articles which 1 have concluded with my allies, the King of the Freneh, the Queen JRegent of Spain, and the Queen of Portugal, which are supple- mentary to the Treaty of April 1834, and are intended to facilitate the complete attainment of the objects contemplated by that Treaty. " I have to repeat the expression of my regret, that file relations between Holland and Belgium still remain unsettled. " Gentlemen < tf the House of Commons, " 1 have directed the estimates for the ensuing year to be prepared, and to be laid before you without delay. " They have been framed with the strictest attention to economy, and I have the satisfaction of acquainting you, that the total amount of the demands for file public service, will be less on the present, than it has been on any former occasion within eur recent experience. " The satisfactory state of the trade and commerce of the country, and of the public revenue fully justifies the expectation, that, not- withstanding- the reductions in' taxation whieh were made in the last Session, and which, when they shall have taken fell effect, will tend to diminish the existing surplus of the Public Revenue, there will remain a sufficient balance to meet the additional annual charge • which will arise from providing the compensation granted by Parlia- ment on account of the Abolition of Slavery throughout the British dominions. " I deeply lament that the Agricultural Interest continues in a state of great depression. " I recommend to your consideration whether it may not be in your power, after providing for the exigencies of the publie service, and consistently with the steadfast maintenance of the publie credit, to devise a method for mitigating the pressure of those local charges • which bear heavily on the owners and occupiers of land, and for dis- tributing the burden of them more equally over other descriptions of property. " My Lords and Gentlennen,' The information received from the Governors of my Colonies, together with the Acts passed in execution of the Law for Abolition of Slavery will be communicated to you. It is with much satisfaction that Ihave observed the general concurrence of the Colonial Legisla- tures in giving effect to this important measures and notwithstanding the difficulties with v.- hich the subject is necessarily attended, I have seen no reason to abate my earnest hopes of a favourable issue, pjjder all circumstances, you may be assured of my . anxious desire, I and unceasing efforts, fully to realise the benevolent intentions of Parliament. " There are many important subjects, some of which have already undergoj « ^ artial discussion in Parliament, the adjustment of which, at as earl; nvperiod as is consistent with the mature consideration of them, would be of great advantage to the public interests. " Among the first in point of urgency, is the state of the Tithe Question in Ireland, ana the means of effecting an equitable and final adjustment of it. " Measures will be proposed for your consideration, which will have for their respective objects— to" promote the commutation of Tithe in England and Wales— to improve our Civil Jurisprudence, and the administration of justice in ecclesiastical causes— to make provision for the more effectual maintenance of ecclesiastical dis- cipline— and to relieve those who dissent from the doctrines or discipline of the Church, from the necessity of celebrating the ceremony of Marriage according to its rites. " I have not yet received the report from the Commissioners ap- pointed to inquire into the state of Municipal Corporations— but I have reason to believe that it will be made, and that I shall be enabled to communicate it to you at an early period. " I have appointed a Commission for considering the state of the several dioceses in England and Wales, with reference to the amount of their revenues, and to the more equal distribution of Episcopal duties— the state of the several Cathedrals and Collegiate Churches, with a view to the suggestion of such measures as may render them most conducive to the efficiency of the Established Church— and for devising the best mode of providing for the cure of souls with reference to the residence of the Clergy on their respective Benefices. The especial object which I have in view in the appointment of this Commission, is to extend more widely the means of religious worhip, according to the doctrines of the Established Church, and to confirm its hold upon the veneration and affections of my people. " I feel it also incumbent upon me to call your earnest attention to the condition of the Church of Scotland, and to the means by which it may be enabled to increase the opportunities of religious worship, for the poorer classes of society in that part of the United Kingdom. " It has been my duty on this occasion to direct your consideration to various important matters connected with our domestic policy. " I rely with entire confidence on your willing co- operation in perfecting all such measures as may be calculated to remove just causes of complaint, and to promote the concord and happiness of my subjects. " I rely also with equal confidence on the caution and circum- spection with which you will apply yourselves to the alteration of laws which affect very extensive and* complicated interests and are interwoven with ancient usages, to which the habits and feelings of my people have conformed. I feel assured that it will be our common object in supplying that which may be defective, or in renov ating that which may he impaired, to strengthen the foundations of those institutions in Church and State, which are tile inheritance and birth- right of my people, and which, amidsfell'the vicissitudes of public affairs, have proved, under the blessing of Almighty God, the truest gurantees of their liberties, their rights, and their religion." His Majesty was 14 minutes delivering his speech, and left the House immediately after it was concluded. Tuoir I " iTl - l- i]^ then adjourned during pleasure. The Loan CHANCELLOR resumed the woolsack at five o'clock, and having read his Majesty's Speech, and the same having been after- wards read by the Clerk at the table, The Earl of HARDWICKE rose and moved an Address of thanks to his Majesty, in doing which the Noble Earl observed that he had never heard a King's Speech so likely to give satisfaction to the House and the country as the one which his Majesty had delivered that day.— Viscount GAGE seconded the Address. Lord MELBOURNE complained of great omissions in the Speech, and particularly of the total silence in that document as to the change of the Ministry. With respect to the change of Government he had no observations to make, further than that it had been determined upon by his Majesty, and was afterwards carried into effect by the counsels of the Noble Duke who now held the Seals of the Foreign Office, and for that change therefore was the Noble Duke responsible. His Lordship considered the Speech as utterly inconsistent with the former character and professions of those who were now in power, and concluded his address by moving an amendmenat, expressing a disapprobation of the dissolution of Parliament, and a desire that effectual Reform might be introduced with respect to the state of corporations and to the laws relating to Dissenters. The Duke of WELLINGTON vindicated his own conduct and that of the Government from the aspersions cast upon them. The Noble Lord ( Melbourne) thought proper to blame him highly for having attended his Majesty, and facilitated measures for forming and arranging the Government. Now if this were a fault he certainly was not the only person to blame for having committed it, for if he was not under a mistake the Noble Lord himself had brought the order for his attendance upon his Majesty to town from Brighton. ( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Why, now, really if there was something so very criminal m having gone down to attend his Majesty, and in having consented to take upon himself these duties to enable his Majesty to carry his plans into execution, what must their Lordships say of that Minister who had brought to town theletterofhis Majesty, summoning him to that attendance—( A laugh)— knowing at the same time the contents of that letter—( Hear, hear, and laughter)— and thereby enabling him to perform his Majesty's pleasure. If this were a transaction which criminated him, surely the Noble Lord was criminal also in having been a party to it. ( Laughter.) He was aware that this was a trifling matter, but at the same time it showed the animus in which his Majesty and the Noble Lord had acted on the one hand, and it also showed the animus in which his Majesty and he ( the Duke of Wellington) had acted on the other. He must say that he never had been so much surprised in his life, knowing all these circumstances, which he did before he accepted the honour conferred upon him by his Majesty, as when he found the manner in which that arrangement was afterwards received by the Noble Lord. He believed that he now stood justified before their Lordships against the charge of having aided in the formation of the existing Government. Lord BROUGHAM justified the view which his Noble Friend ( Lord Melbourne) had taken of Ministerial responsibility, and argued at considerable length to show that there existed no necessity for break- ing up the late Government, and no pretence for placing confidence in the present. The LORD CHANCELLOR defended the conduct of the Government, and entered at some length into the circumstances under winch the dismissal of the late Ministers took place. The Earl of RIPON supported the Address; and the discussion terminated by the amendment being withdrawn. The Address was then agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— The business was confined to their Lordships assembling for the purpose of taking up the Address to his Majesty. THURSDAY.— The LORD CHANCELLOR read the following answer of his Majesty to the Address of their Lordships :— " I thank you for your loyal and dutiful Address. " I receive with great satisfaction your assurances of willing co- operation in all such measures as are calculated to remove just causes • ef complaint, and to promote the happiness and concord of my subjects." After some notices had been given, Lord BROUGHAM moved for a return of all Commissions of Inquiry issned under the Great Seal dining the years 1828, 1829, and 1S30. Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed that the motion would be attended with considerable expense to the country. It was ultimately agreed to, after an animated discussion, in which the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of LANS- DOWNE, Lord PLUNKET, the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of RADNOR, and Lord WHARNCLIFFE took part. FRIDA Y.— The Duke of RICHMOND brought in a Bill for the aboli- tion of unnecessary oaths in various departments of the State, which was read ft first time, and referred to a select Committee. In answer to some questions by the Earl of MULGRAVE, relative to the execution of the law passed for the abolition of slavery, the Earl of ABERDEEN declared that the Government had no intention of inter- fering with the instructions sent out to the Governor- General of Jamaica. After a brief conversation between the Earl of CLONCURRY and the Duke of WELLINGTON, respecting the present condition of the Irish Clergy, the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY.— The Speaker took the Chair at one o'clock, and shortly afterwards the Usher of the Black Rod desired the attendance of the Commons in the House of Lords to hear the Royal Speech. The Speaker resumed the Chair shortly after four, when the usual Sessional orders were read and agreed to. ,, Sir GEORGE CH- EBK t'tew gave notice, on the PART W the Coaneeilor of the Exchequer, that on the 17th of March his Right Hon. Friend would bring forward a measure for the relief of Dissenters from certain disabilities, more particularly that which related to the cele- bration of the marriages of Dissenters Sir GEORGE CLERK also gave notice that on the 10th ( we believe) of the same month, his Right Hon. Friend would bring forward a Bill for the Commutation of Tithes in England and Wales. The Marquess of CHANDOS gave notice that on the 10th of March he should move for a total repeal of the malt tax. After a number of other notices had been given, Lord SANDON rose to move the Address, in doing which his Lordship expressed himself most anxious to support the appeal of the present Ministers for a fair trial, and considered that the prerogative of the Crown itself was involved in the question before the House.— Mr. BRAMSTON seconded the Address. Lord MORPETH moved an amendment, precisely similar to that in the Lords. His Lordship admitted that the Speech and Address contained much matter calculated to give high satisfaction to all those who combined a fixed attachment to the institutions of the country, with an anxious wish to see them disencumbered and Eurified from the remaining imperfection and abuses : he could not, owever, dissemble that he at the same time expected some more direct allusion to the state of the Church of Ireland, and to the con- dition of that much harrassed country.— Mr. BANNERMAN seconded the amendment.— A long discussion followed, and the debate having extended till past midnight the House became impatient, and called loudly for a division. After the galleries had been partly cleared, Sir ROBERT PEEL rose and entered into an able and argumentative speech ( for which, see the 4th page). The debate was then adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— Some conversation took place respecting the hours of meeting, and the days to be appropriated for particular business. As a general regulation, the Speaker is to take the Chair at four, and public business to commence at five. No private Bills will be received by the House after Friday, the 13th of March. Mr. ROBINSON then opened the" adjourned debate on the Address, and in an able speech declared that he should not join in the attempt to subvert the present Ministers, that he would give the Administra- tion of Sir R. Peel a fair trial, and that he should therefore vote for the Address.— Lord STANLEY declared that he should not give his assent to the amendment; and that he spoke not only his own senti- ments, but the opinions, at the same time, of a large body of Gentle- men, who were neither insignificant in their standing as Members of the Legislature, nor unimportant in point of intelligence and weight in the country.— Dr. LUSHIXGTON addressed the House, in support of the amendment.— Mr. PRAED made some severe allusions to the language used by the Civil Doctor in the Tower Hamlets, and ex- pressed his cordial and entire concurrence in the Address.— Colonel CHATTERTON said that he should vote for the Address, in order to preserve the consecrated institutions of the country.— Mr. H. GRAT- TAN made a violent attack upon the Orangemen of Ireland, which was responded to with great spirit by Colonel PERCIVAL.— Lord J. RUSSELL occupied the attention of the House in a lengthened address in support of the amendment.— Mr. Secretary GOULBURN followed in a very able speech, in which he made sad havoc with the arguments of th'e Noble Lord who preceded him.— Mr. BARING was the last speaker, and wound up the: debatein an argumentative speech; after which the House again adjourned. THURSDAY.— The adjourned debate on the Address was opened by Mr. MULLINS, who spoke in favour of the amendment.— Mr. FINCH; supported the Address, because he considered Sir Robert Peel was actuated by the true spirit of Reform.— Lord WATERPARK and Major C. BRUCE, supported the Address.— Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN, in a most admirable and emphatic speech, announced his intention of voting for the Address.— Mr. P. M. STEWART objected to the amend- ment because it was vague, flimsy, and useless. He should support the Address, because he thought, in the words of Mr. Fox, " that if the present Government be displaced another and a worse Govern- ment will be established."— A long and interesting debate ensijed, in the course of which, amongst many other speakers, Sir R. GREISLEY, Major C. BRUCE, Mr. GISBORNE and Sir JAMES GRAHAM supported the Address, and Mr. DUNCOMBE and Mr. O'CONNELL the amend- ment.— The House then proceeded to a division, when there appeared:— For the Address, 302 ; for the amendment, 309— making a majority of seven in favour of the amendment. FRIDAY.— In reply to questions put to the President of the Board of Trade, the Honourable Gentleman announced his intention of proposing a measure to prevent the fraudulent importation of corn, and to put a stop to the shipping of Baltic timber to Canada, and re- shipping it to England. Sir E. KNATCHBULL having appeared at the Bar with the report of the Address, Sir R. PEEL stated thathe should not attempt to sub- vert the amendment, as he had ascertained that the vote of Thursday night was a fair indication of the sense of the House.— Lord J. RUSSELL expressed his approbation of the course pursued by the Right Hon. Baronet. After a discussion of some length the Address, as amended, was agreed to.— Adjourned. COVENT- GARDEN THEATRE.— Auber's opera of Lestoeg was pro- duced on Saturday, and attracted one of the largest audiences ever witnessed at this theatre. This opera has been translated by, and got up solely under the superintendence of, Mr. Bunn, and its general arrangement is highly creditable to his taste and judgment. As a scenic display ^ and a picture of the costume and manners of the period to which it refers, it never perhaps has been equalled ; one scene in particular — the Fete of the Hermitage— ex- ceeds in splendour any thing ever before attempted in stage repre- sentation. The music, however, although possessing some beauties, is not of that striking character which distinguishes some of Auber's previous compositions. Phillips, Giubelei, Wilson, and Misses Shirreff, Betts, and Cawse represented the principal characters with much ability. The opera was eminently successful, and will, no doubt, repay the lessee for the immense expense attendant on its production. STRAND THEATRE.— In consequence of a decision of the Magis- trates at Bow- street, on Wednesday, with regard to the unlawful opening of this Theatre, Mr. Glossop has closed it until a license can be obtained. HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY.— It is calculated that the two volumes which are now published of Mr. Burke's History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland contain accounts of about 800 eminent families, and upwards of 20,000 individuals connected with them. This important work will, therefore, be found particu- larly valuable at the present moment, as shewing the property, connexions, interest, and other characteristics of the Members of the new Parliament. It is also interspersed with many very curious and interesting personal anecdotes, which render it also extremely amusing. THE COURT OF ST. JAMES'S.— Under thishead, the Court Journal of Saturday gives details of the principal Functionaries of State, imme- diately composing the Royal Household, and a description of their respective offices, with personal and historical notices. This is the first list of the kind ever published, in as much as it will exhibit the connexions and family alliances of these distinguished personages, with other matters of interest. The Court Journal is supplied by all booksellers and newsvenders in town and country, free of postage. The office is at 19, Catherine- street, Strand. CHEAP LITERATURE.— The public cannot fail, we think, to be delighted with the treat which is just prepared for them by Mr. Colburn in his Modern Novelists, the March number of which will consist of a new, revised, and illustrated edition of Lady Morgan's first and best national tale, O'Bonne/, the three volumes being now comprised in one, and bound, for 5s., an example of cheapness hitherto unparalleled. On the 2d of March will also appear the third part of Sir Jonah Barrington's Memoirs of Ireland, to be completed in. eight parts, at 8s. per part, and containing upwards of forty portraits, and fac- similes. THE MAYOR OF WIND- GAP, BY THE O'HARA FAMILY.— All who. have a taste for real Irish humour, who can appreciate honest Irish, feeling, or wish to laugh at genuine Irish mistakes, must, hasten to. make acquaintance with this talented work; nor are the higher and and more absorbing interests of the finest style of fiction emitted. In the Mayor of Ivind- gap there are incidents and delineations of character which, in our opinion, excel even the best of the author's former productions. CARPETS.— The nobility and gentry who have visited the nnder- entionod Warerooms during the past week have expressed tlieiy mentions . • U1P1W1UO UUllllg 11JC ^ IWJH " » - » -* » • ——- f - ' admiration at the beauty and elegance of the designs of the Brussels Carpus, Chintz Furnitures, Satin Stripe Tabborettes, cfec., the patterns of which have been expressly designed for Sewell and Cross's spring trade, and cannot be seen at any other house.

The Directors of this Establishment call the attention of the 5000 favoured Members of the Equitable Society to the necessity of securing the advantages presented by their peculiar situation.— Those who live until January, 1840, will have furrher large additions to their Policies.— The representatives of those who die previously, would merely obtain a return for the current years of the Decen- nial period.— To facilitate the operations of the foriunate holders, the Asylum will grant Assurances for the whole of life, for a smaller advance of money than is necessary for a term of five years in the generality of offices. Two- thirds only of the full premium will be required to be paid, annually, leaving the balances to be deducted from the sum assured on a scale of interest at 4 per cent. PREGNANCY, TNFIRM HEALTH, AND OLD AGE. Females need not appear; the rates for diseases are moderate, and Policies are granted to persons of advanced age. GENERAL CLASSES TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.

Solicitor— John Clayton, Esq. This Society has been formed for the purchase of Reversionary Property, Life Interests, and Annuities, and is to- be located at the West End of the Town. The Capital will consist of .£' 300,000, in 3,000 Shares of j£ 100 each ; per Share to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the remainder by Instalments of not exceeding j£ 5 each, as the Directors shall find good opportunities of in- vestment. The advantage to the public attending the establishment of Companies of this nature is manifest. Persons having occasion to dispose of their Reversionary Property, or Life Interests, find a certain market for them without resorting to an Auction— the exposure attending which ( independent of the expense) might be seriously prejudicial to them ; and those who are possessed only of Life Interests, and cannot therefore, short of selling them, raise money otherwise than by way of Annuity, have, by means of such Companies, an opportunity of supplying their necessities upon fair and honourable terms. The Company will be the purchasers of no property but of the best description, nor will they advance any money by way of annuity but upon undoubted security ; and they will conduct their business so as to relieve themselves from the possibi- lity of being charged with taking advantage of the necessities of those who may transact business with them. There is no necessity for any over- reaching or un- fair conduct in order to realize a fair profit from such a mode of employing capial. The legitimate profits are known to men of business to be very considerable. The Directors have reserved to themselves the powerof increasing their present number ( eight) to not exceeding twelve; this power it is not, however, their in- tention to exercise without a manifest corresponding advantage to the Society. It is their determination to admit of no expense that is not necessary for the effi- ciency of the establishment, in order that the fullest possible extent of benefit may result to the Shareholders from the investment of their capital.

Y THE KING'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.—- The ECONOMICAL NIGHT or CHAMBER LAMP.— This invention has row been some time before the public,, and its peculiar merits known to thousands of families and persons of the first class as a valuable acquisition to the chamber,, being particularly safe, certain, and' may be regulated to burn from 1 to 24 hours as required; its portability renders the bed candle superfluous; and, as a light to convey about the house, merits universal adoption. The patentee, being a gene- ral lamp manufacturer, begs to inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Public in general, he has just completed an extensive assortment of chandeliers for drawing and dining- rooms, sinumbra lamps for the dinner table, sideboard, study, hall, staircase, & c., combining all the late- improvements, and of all sizes and designs, warranted to burn well, and 25 per cent, lower than the dealers' prices.

This justly celebrated toilet appendage is a vegetable white powder- of great brilliancy, and as cleanlv in application as felicitous m result. As an- anti- scorbutic, it totally ejects defects, and renders the Teeth and Gums impervi- ous to d'ecav from youth to age; imparts fragrance to the breath ; cleanses artificial teeth, and prevents their changing colour. ROWLAND'S ODONTO,. or PEARL- DENTIFRICE, is conposed of the most rare and salutary vegetable mixtures,, and is so perfectly innoxious as to be used with equal safety and success by infant as adult; in fact, it subdues all ailment to which the teeth and gums are liable, and is recommended accordingly by the most noted of the faculty.— Price 2s. 9d. per box, duty included.

In tropical climates, where the conse- quences of redundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection.

These Lozenges have also been found of great utility by persons who are frequently in the habit of speaking in public ; and the highest testimony in the musical world has been advanced in their favour, especially in those cases when from the constant use of the voice, it has become hoarse and diminished in its ton ® . They are also recommended as a stimulus during field sports ; they are refreshing, and tend to relieve the sense of fatigue, occasioned by violent or unusual exertion.— Sold in boxes at 2s. and 4s 6d., by Thomas Butler, Chemist, 4, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's, London; and ( authenticated by his name and address being printed in the- accompanying - stamp and label) may be obtained also at Sanger's, 150,.

The great space occupied by the speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL renders it absolutely necessary for us to postpone until next week various im• Conrier, on the subject of Lord BUQEGHAM. IOHN BULL. LONDON, MARCH 1. OS Tuesday His MAJESTY proceeded in state to West- minster to open the new Parliament. His MAJESTY was re- ceived, both in going and returning, with the warmest marks of loyalty and affection. We scarcely ever saw so vast a crowd. The KING, on Monday, held a Chapter of the Garter, when liis Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH ( having resigned the Order of the Thistle, of which his Grace was a Knight), was invested with the insignia of that noble Order. At a Privy Council, Lord Viscount CASTLEREAGH and the JRight Honourable IIENRY CORRY were sworn in members, and took their seats at the Board. On Wednesday the KING held a Levee, which was most numerously attended. His MAJESTY received the Address of the House of Lords. Several addresses were also presented, thanking His MAJESTY for removing the late Ministers, and expressing the firmest confidence in the present Government. After the Levee, all the Foreign Ambassadors were pre- sented to Her MAJESTY. On Friday HerMAJESTY honoured Covent- Garden Theatre with her presence, attended by her Ladies in Waiting, the Lord Chamberlain, and the Master of the Horse, and accom- panied by Prince GEORGE of CAMBRIDGE. " God save the King" was called for, and sung by the company, and Her MAJESTY was most loudly cheered by the audience. The QUEEN intends visiting Drury- Lane Theatre to- morrow. Yesterday the new SPEAKER went in state to St. James's to present the amended Address, to which his MAJESTY was graciously pleased to deliver the following answer:— " I thank you sincerely for the assurances which you have given me, in this loyal and dutiful Address, of your disposition to co- operate with me in the improvement, with a view to the maintenance of our institutions in Church and State. " I learn with regret that you do not concur with me as to the policy of the appeal which I have recently made to the sense of my people. " I never have exercised, and I never will exercise, any of the prerogatives which I hold, excepting for the single purpose of pro- moting the great end for which they are entrusted to me— the public good; and I confidently trust that no measure, conducive to the general interests, will be endangered or interrupted in its progress by the opportunity which 1 have afforded to my faithful and loyal subjects, of expressing their opinions through the choice of their re- presentatives in Parliament." The only marked variation from the usual course of pro- ceedings upon similar occasions was observable in the cir- cumstance of the Opposition Members walking up arm- in- arm to St. James's, after the SPEAKER'S coach, and pre- senting themselves at the Court of their SOVEREIGN in boots and great coats.— This is a new sign of the times. THE new Parliament was opened by his MAJESTY in per- son on Tuesday: and certainly, if, as those who not often agree with us hold, that popular applause is the test of po- pular feeling, the reception the KING met with ou his passage to and from the House of Lords, from all ranks and conditions of people, is a most convincing and satisfactory proof of the opinion universally entertained of the wisdom and justice of his MAJESTY'S conduct in displacing the late Ministers, and calling to his councils those in whom the nation as well as the MONARCH can safely repose their confidence. In the House of Lords, after the Address had been moved by Lord HARDWICKE, in a speech not less distinguished for ability than modesty, and seconded by Lord GAGE, Lord MELBOURNE moved au amendment— in spirit, and nearly in letter, the same as that moved in the House of Commons by Lord MORPETH. The noble Viscount was pleased to attack the Duke of WELLINGTON upon various points of his political and ministerial conduct; which produced an admirable reply from his Grace, who completely vindicated the course lie had pursued, and concluded by humorously implicating Lord MELBOURNE as an accomplice in all his supposed criminality, by having consented to be the bearer of the KING'S commands to his Grace to proceed to Brighton to form a new Govern- ment ; to which part of his Grace's speech his Lordship felt it necessary to make a reply, and give an explanation. One thing has already been made manifest— In the Speaker's case, the opposition to Sir CHARLES MANNERS SUTTON was first founded upon allegations of interference, and partisanship, and improper meddling, & c., but when the day of trial came, although the impression had been made upon men's minds in order to secure their pledges to vote against him, not one of. those allegations were corroborated, not one of those charges maintained. So, with the Duke of WELLINGTON— until the opening of Parliament, and until the development of Lord MELBOURNE'S amendment, the Whig coteries rang with im- putations against the Duke of WELLINGTON as a political in- triguer— that he had long been secretly working the destruction of the last Ministry— and that the ground on which they trod liad been actually mined by his Grace's experienced hand, in order that by some unexpected explosion he might at any mo- ment scatter them into " thin air," and resume the reins of Government himself; a course of proceeding and results to which the facts, that his Grace did not assume the Premier- ship, but recommended another individual to the KING; and that that individual was placed at a distant part of Europe, and in the most inconvenient possible situation for furthering their great ends, gave, in the opinion of the pre- deter- mined opponents of the new Ministry, additional force and pro- bability. How is it now ? Not a man can be found to cast an imputation of meddling or intrigue upon the Duke of WEL- LINGTON, whose only crime at present appears to be his having obeyed the commands of his SOVEREIGN in holding two offices at one time, for which several precedents, one, even so late as Mr. CANNING'S time, have been adduced, and from which not the slightest injury or inconvenience to the country has accrued. Lord BROUGHAM spoke at considerable length and breadth. His Lordship will very soon find the want of his wig and gown in the House of Lords : he was grave and wise, and witty and • violent by turns, aud at last, very violent indeed ; all which— considering the severe chastisement administered to him by the LORD CM ANCELLOR— is not to be wondered at. In another part ' of t » - day's paper, we have made an extract from the reported debate upon the subject of the County Com- missions, for the purpose of exhibiting dates and figures in opposition to Lord BROUGHAM'S statements. As the Times said of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S unfortunate exhibition, last week, " there appears to be « : great mistake somewhere." However, more of this anon. Lord BROUGHAM was, upon the present occasion completely beaten. Having fallen from the tight- rope to which another HB. had so gracefully elevated him, he is now compelled to accept the part of clown, aud " tumble" on the floor. We can, however, make allow- ances— the change in his position is full of inconveniences. Besides the privilege and protection afforded by the Chancel- lorship and Speakership of their Lordships' House, the locality is less suited to the application of that relief which his Lord- ship's constitution requires during the debate, in the shape of cold tea, or toast- and- water. It was clear that he was out of his element, and his desponding look, while he sat gazing at Lord LYNDHURST on the Woolsack, reminded us forcibly of the speech of poor RICHARD CROMWELL—" When last I was in this House, I sat in that place myself." The Earl of RIPON and the Duke of RICHMOND spoke in favour of the Address, and Lord MELBOURNE'S amendment was negatived without a division. In the House of Commons, Lord SANDON moved, and Mr. BRAMSTON seconded the Address; Lord MORPETH moved, and an elderly gentleman of the name of BANNERMAN se- conded the Amendment. It is from no feeling of partiality that we pass over the speeches of these noblemen and gentle- men ; nor that we dismiss the admirable speech of Mr. PF. M- BERTON, or the verbiage of Messrs. GROTE, POULTER, CLAY, BONVRING and Co., with merely a passing observation; but be- cause we consider it a duty to our readers all over the country to give entire, at least as we find it in the reports of the debate, the speecli of Sir ROBERT PEEL. It is, in every point of view, THE object for contemplation and judgment — it contains not only the fullest explanation of the principles upon which the Government is to be conducted for the future, but it justifies the expectations of those who have confidence in the Constitutional Reformers, by adducing innumerable proofs of the unvarying disposition of Sir ROBERT PEEL to uphold Reform, wherever prac- ticable;— Proofs afforded, in his frequent support of the late Ministry— in his earnest exertions in the correction of the law, the consolidation of statutes, and, in short, upon every occasion where the principles of his Government, as now formed, could be securely and constitutionally worked out. The space which the Right Honourable Baronet's address to the House occupies in our paper of to- day, we readily afford it, because we are sure that it ought to be circulated throughout the country with as little abbreviation as possible. It is upon the declaration it contains that the country is, or is not, to support the Administration ; and we are convinced that the re- sult of its perusal, will be a resolution on the part of all men who are not systematically devoted to the Destructive faction, to rally round the Throne of the MONARCH, and uphold the MINIS: TER of his choice. The SPEAKER having read the Address and the amendment, was about to put the question, when Sir R. PEEL rose— The Hon. Baronet then addressed the House amidst the profoundest silence to the following effect:— From the si- tuation in which he stood, it would argue disrespect to the House, and it would be alien to his own feelings, if he permitted the debate to close without giving an explanation of the circumstances which led to his connection with the present Government, or of the prin- iples on which he intended that Government to be conducted.— ( Hear, hear.)— His first course would be to refer to the formation of the present Government, and to the advice he gave on that occasion ; next he would refer to the future intentions of the Government. These explanations the House had a right to require, and he would be shrinking from his duty if he did not give them. ( Cheers.) He stood there as a Minister of the Crown from no act of his own, from no combination with those with whom he now happened to act, from no machination or contrivance to embarass or overturn the former Government. ( Cheers.) He stood there in the fulfilment of his duty, shrinking from no responsibility which that duty imposed upon him. He stood there from no arrogant pretension, and despising no opinion of the majority of the House ; and he stood there resolved to persevere to the last—( Enthusiastic cheering from the Ministerial benches for several minutes)— to persevere so far as was consistent with the honour of a public man in maintaining the prerogatives of the Crown and fulfilling his duty to the King. ( Renewed - cheering.) In vindication, then, of his own conduct he would refer to the disso- lution of the former Government. He was responsible for the as- sumption of the duties of a public man, as Minister of the Crown, and he stood there, too, responsible for the dismissal of the late Government. These responsibilities he incurred ; and God for- bid he should ever shrink from avowing and maintaining them. ( Cheers.) It was due to hjs character to say that he was not, and would not be, a party to the removal of any Government; that he entered into no low intrigue, formed no plot, and was cognizant of none; that he was no party to anything, and had no communication with anyone. ( General cheering.) Yet he by his assumption of office, be the majority what it might, was responsible for the conse- quences of that assumption. The act of the removal of the late Government was perfectly justifiable. This would be seen by a retrospect of its history. He would look back to the meeting of the Reform Parliament in 1830. There he saw the Government formed under the auspices of Earl Grey. He saw it continuing its course of action— no change in its measures, no deviation, no revolution. Finding then the Government carried on with a unity of principle and evenness of purpose was not he ( Sir R. Peel) the person to say that the ordinary tactics of party were no longer applicable, and that he would give his support to Earl Grey so long as his Government would refrain from destroying the institutions of the country? He did not then seek to embarrass that Government; and if he liked to embarrass it, oh! how many opportunities were then afforded him. ( Great cheering.) When the House of Com- mons decided on a repeal of the malt tax, and he was told that Lord Althorp intended in consequence to resign, did he ( Sir R. Peel) then seek a pretext for embarrassing the Government, or did he not rather tender him his co- operation and advice, and aid him in urging the House to reconsider its vote ? ( Cheers.) When the Noble Lord on the question of the emancipation of our West India slaves, proposed a loan of twenty millions, and afterwards changed the loan to a grant, as an indemnity to the planters, was not he ( Sir R. Peel), though differing from him in principle, the first to support him, to enable him to carry the mea- sure, and to tell the House of Commons that, having gone so far, its honour was compromised to pass the Bill? ( Hear, hear.) From the close of that Session up to 1834, so far from showing any disposition to embarrass the Government or impede its progress, he lent them his zealous and strenuous aid to pass every measure that agreed with- his 0wn principles and opinions. ( Hear, hear.) [ Here we unfortu- nately lost a few observations in consequence of interruption. Tha: Right Hon. Baronet was alluding to the circumstances of the Ministry on the removal of Lord Althorp to the Upper Herrae.}' There might have been some compensation for the loss of Lord. Althorp's services, and of those who had acted with him under the Government of Earl Grey, if the Government of Lord Melbourne- could count upon the unanimous support of those who held extreme' opinions upon popular questions in the House of Commons, if they had the unanimous support of Parliament. But was that the case ? Was not the cause of the alienation of the public from that Govern- ment the constant attacks made upon it by those who might more naturally be thought disposed to place confidence in it ? It was im- possible for him not to look to the kind of support the late Govern- ment received from the Member for Dublin, knowing as he did that they held opinions much more popular than those of Lord Grey. C'ould they, after the language held by the Hon. and Learned Gen- tleman, rely on the support of that part of the Irish Representation which he was supposed to influence, and whose support, if it was to be expected in any quarter, might naturally be supposed to be the strongest and the most zealous. He was not now speaking of the Government of Earl Grey, but of that which was supposed to have been purified by his retirement. Lord Duncannon, be it remem- bered, was a member of that Government— no man more respected— no man whose character for integrity and for good intentions stood higher; but in what language was he addressed by the Member for Dublin? That Honourable and Learned Gentleman addressed a letter to the Noble Lord and to Lord Plunket, in which he thus ex- pressed his opinion of the Government . It was dated on the 11th of October, 1831, and the following were the opinions expressed by liim of that Government. The Hon. and Learned Gentlemen was here addressing himself to Lord Duncannon, one of the most popular branches of the Government, and these were the opinions most ably and most powerfully expressed by that able and efficient member of the Irish Representation. He would prove that thelate Government,, previously deprived of the assistance of Lord Grey, was deprived also of the aid and support of the Hon. Member for Dublin. ( Cheers.) In the letter of the 11th of October, which had for its motto the wild Irish cry, " Hurra for Repeal"—( Loud laughter)— the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen used the following language. ( Here the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer read a long passage from the letter.) It was to the following effect .-— That he had been deceived by Lord Dun- cannon— bitterly and cruelly deceived. He should have known him- better. He belonged to the Whigs—( Cheers)— from whom Ireland had nothing to expect, and had experienced nothing for four years but the most malignant contempt and the most treacherous hostilty. Now ( said the Chancellor of the Exchequer), did this language fall from the Hon. and Learned Member in a momeit of excitement in a popular assembly, when warmed by the collision of opinions, and betrayed beyond the bounds of prudence by the heat of eloquence or of declamation? No such thing. Itwas written at Derinane Castle— ( Alaugh)— and the Hon. and Learned Gentleman declared firmlyi but tranquilly—( A laugh)— that Ireland had nothing to expect from the Whigs, that the people of Ireland were deeply steeped in misery, and that it was vain to hope for relief without a change of men. ( Cheers.) Some who opposed the present Govern- ment said they wanted measures, not men. As the Hon. and Learned Member wanted a change of men he might fairly claim liis support: he would prove by aud by that it was impossible any change of men could prejudice Ireland. Now, with respect to individual Members of the late and of the previous Government, what were the opinions of the Member for Dublin ? Of what use, said he, was Lord Grey's retirement to us if they who succeeded him retained the same ma- lignant feelings towards Ireland ? What was to be expected from them ? " I know," he continued, " that Lord John Russell cherishes feelings towards Ireland as malignant as those of Lord Grey, and she feels this deeply. As to Lord Melbourne, he cannot conciliate Ireland. It is very clear that he is utterly incompetent to his high office. ( Cheers). It is lamentable that the destinies of the country should rest on so imbecile a person. Lord Lansdowne is equally- hostile to Ireland, though the contrary might naturally be expected from his connection with the country and the large property he holds there. Is Ireland to be kept under the government of the father of: all the Hannibals ? ( A laugh.) Let us laugh to scorn the attempt to keep her in thraldom by such base instruments." Such was the letter of the Member for Dublin, able, powerful, and tranquil—( A laugh)— on the merits of the Melbourne Administration, and of four leading Members of that Administration. Now, looking at the hos- tility thus evinced to that Government in Ireland— looking at the- state of opinion in this country, at the various questions on which many Members of the House of Commons were in collision with the Government, at the differences in the Cabinet itself upon important points, would it have been wise if the Go- vernment was suffered to remain in the hands of those who possessed the confidence of no party? ( Cheers.) His own opinion and firm conviction was, that Lord Grey could not return to office- while the question of the Irish Church, upon which he retired, re- mained undecided. These were the circumstances which induced him not ' to frefuse compliancejwith the unexpected call of his Sovereign when required to form an Administration. In complying, with the call he took upon himself all the responsibility of the cir- cumstances under which it was accepted, and from that responsi- bility he was not now disposed to shrink. He looked upon himself as having contracted the same responsibility as his Noble Friend the Duke ofWellington. If there was anything wrong in his Noble Friend having accepted the Government under the circumstances of the time,, he was most ready to take his full share of the blame, and to offer to his Noble Friend the expression of his sincere gratitude for having included him in any responsibility or blame that might be thought to arise from the step he had taken. It was said that his Noble Friend had laid down a dangerous precedent in consenting to accept the mo- nopoly of so many offices. That entirely depended upon the inten- tion with which these offices were accepted. There was nothing in- consistent either with principle or propriety, or with the due dis- charge of public duties, in his Noble Friend's holding at the same time and provisionally the situations of First Lord of the Treasury and principal Secretary of State. His Noble Friend well knew it could have been no secret to him that, as Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, he might discharge, consistently with the prin- ciple and practice of the Constitution, the duties also of the Domestic Secretary, or of the Secretary for the Colonies. There might be an inconvenience in assuming these various powers in conjunction, but there was no inconsistency. One Secretary of State, and it was no unusual thing in certain cases, might exercise the powers which belonged to the others. But without insisting upon this view of the subject he defended the assumption of these various March 1. j o h n b u l l * 69 duties by his Noble Friend, on the ground that it was necessary so to - do, that the public service required it. These duties were under- taken by him, not with a view to arrogate to himself the supreme power of the State, but to hold them temporarily, to be afterwards delivered over to others, when the time for their appointment had arrived. The Noble Lord, the Member for Yorkshire, said that this • was a proceeding quite unknown to the Constitution ; and, said the Noble Lord, to mark more strongly his deep feeling of the impro- priety of the act, if there were present any old Whig of the Rocking- ham party his hair must stand on end upon hearing that one indi- vidual held two such high offices at the same time, lie doubted very much whether even in good times, such as a Whig would hardly refuse to call the good times of the Constitution, an instance could not be adduced of the assumption of powers equally great, for the purpose of defeating Jacobinical purposes, and of saving the Constitution itself. The Noble Lord, whom he must suppose to be well read in history, could not but know that towards the close of the reign and of the life of Queen Anne, the Earl of Orford having been removed from office, Lord Bolingbroke speculated oil gaining supreme power in the State, and forming such a Government as he thought might be disposed to facilitate the accomplishment of the object he had in contemplation. The following was the account given of the transaction by an impartial historian ( Lord John Russell, we believe), and it proved that at least by one individual as much power had been assumed in former times as was upon a late occasion by his Noble Friend. The Chancellor of the Exchequer read an extract from the work. It stated that Lord Bolingbroke had recourse to artitice to accelerate the accomplishment of what he contemplated, and that the greatest apprehensions were excited for the result in the minds of those who were lovers of the Constitution. The . Mem- bers of the Council were assembled. Lord Shrewsbury, then Lord Chamberlain, being present. The Dukes of Argyle and Somerset entered the Council Chamber. Lord Somers, though ill at the time, made an effort to be in attendance. These Noblemen recommended that Lord Shrewsbury should be made First Lord of the Treasury, which was accordingly done; so that he filled, at one and the same time, the three great and important offices of First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chamberlain, and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. ( Cheers.) After such a precedent as this, could it for a moment be believed that it was indiscreet or blameworthy in the Duke of Wel- lington to assume these offices, not for the purpose of retaining them in his own hands, but to wait the arrival of another individual then absent from the country, and whom his Majesty had been pleased to name as his future Prime Minister, and to whom of course the formation of a Government was to be entrusted? And why did his Noble Friend assume these offices provisionally? Be- cau se he had sent for the individual who was to be the Prime Minister, considering that nothing could be more unfair or more inconvenient than to appoint other individuals to the temporary occupation of offices which must afterwards be permanently filled up when the Administration came to be formed definitively with the approbation of him who was to be placed at the head of it. It appeared to him that the temporary arrangement made bv his Noble Friend was, as regarded Parliament, the country, and" the Crown itself, far the more eligible course. Having said thus much upon the assumption of powers by his N* 9ble Friend so much complained of, and shown as he conceived that it was not unconstitutional, and that under the circumstances it was the most eligible course that could be pursued, he would now come to the dissolution of Parliament. He was asked whether he was ready to take the responsibility of that step upon himself. Without a moment's hesitation he answered. Yes. He did take that responsibility on himself. The moment lie determined to take place he determined at the same time to leave no consti- tutional effort untried by which he could be enabled to perform efficiently for the country the duties of the office he consented to accept. ( Cheers.) They who boasted that not more than one hun- dred and twenty Members could be brought together to oppose the late Government, those whose object it now was to force the present Government from place without ever giving them a trial ( continued cheers)— was it bv them it was to be made matter of accusation against him that lie recommended the dissolution of Parliament ? ( Cheers.) This was no unprecedented course. He believed it would be found that upon important changes having been made in the Government, Parliament was frequently dissolved before, and for the same reasons. In 1784 there was an important change of Government, when Mr. Pitt became Prime Minister, and Parliament was then dissolved. In 1806, under the Administration of Lords Grey and Grenville, a Parliament, which had sat only for four years was- dis- solved, though the Government, previous to that dissolution, had a majority in Parliament. In 1807, when Mr. Perceval came into office, there was a dissolution. In 1831 Parliament was again dis- solved. This was the first time that ever the House of Commons had been called upon to record their disapprobation of such an exercise of the Royal prerogative, and if any House of Commons ought to be slow in condemning it, the present House was that one. Now a word as to the men whom his Majesty had chosen to select to fill the offices of State. The whole ground of objection, so far as he could yet learn, to his possession and exercise of power, was the neces- sity there existed of acting in future on the principles of the Reform Bill, and that he, having opposed that measure, ought not to have accepted office; ought to have, on the contrary, consi- dered himself unfit to exercise power in the State. For his part he never considered the machinery of the Reform Bill as any secret, nor did he ever think the principle or the spirit of it was such as must necessarily exclude any class of his Majesty's subjects from power. It was intimated to him, on accepting office, from the highest quarter, that he would be at liberty, that he would be per- fectly free, to bring forward any measures which he might judge expe'dient for the general good of the country. Under such cir- cumstances he would put it to any man in the House whether he would not entertain the meanest opinion of him; whether he would not most justly merit the contemptofParliament and of the country; whether he must not for ever have disgraced himself if he refused compliance with the call of his Sovereign ? There might be some spirit of that measure. He would, however, adopt no course in office ; he would act upon no princple which he did not adopt while in oppo- sition. He would not support the compulsory obligation on the Universities of admitting Dissenters. He would leave it to the Universities themselves, to which it properly belonged, to come to an amicable and voluntary arrangement upon that point. With respect to the Church temporalities he would maintain in office the principle he held when out of office. He would not consent that ecclesiastical property should be converted to any other than ecclesiastical pur- poses. On that question he entertained deliberate opinions, and he would avow that he was not ready to sacrifice them in order to facili- tate the course of his Government. In regard to that and other questions which had been agitated since the Reform Bill he intended to act upon that principle, but where they were not concerned he should act upon the principle of salutary, pro- gressive and well- considered Reform. He was not ; m apostate from his principles when he avowed his intention both in respect to what were called liberal measures and those measures which it was Allow me, ground to charge him with utter unfitness for the discharge of his public duties under a reformed House of Commons, if he and those with whom he acted had been invariably and upon all questions op- posed to Earl Grey's Government, and that the Noble Earl's Govern- ment was supported by all classes of Reformers. A great deal of decla- mation had been expended upon this point, and facts they knew were less attractive than declamation, or even than real eloquence, upon some occasions. He would refer to facts to ascertain whether he usu- ally acted in opposition to a Reform Government? These facts would prove that, so far from unqualified orunvaried opposition, he showed a disposition to give Government his support upon all occasions when he could do so consistently with his principles and his honest conviction of what was right and fit. He would first take those domestic questions which came before the House since 1833. What were the principles, or what the spirit of the Reform Bill which bore upon these questions ? Was it to be supposed that, because he and those with whom he acted, opposed the Reform Bill as going, in their view of it, too far, they were to be considered aliens in the country and pledged to invariable hostility to all further improvement in their public institutions? So far was this from being the case that he supported the Reform Government upon many occasions. The bloody and brutal address, as it had been denominated—( a laugh)— was opposed by the Reformers. He supported it. He was now only only endeavouring to show that a concurrence with the Noble Lord then at the head of the Government would not be always called a concurrence with the principles or with the spirit of the Reform Bill. He supported the Disturbances in Ireland Bill. He op- posed Mr. Harvey's motion for the publication of the lists of Members on divisions. That might be_ considered a Re- form measure, and he opposed it, so also did the Government. J\ Ir. Grpte brought forward a motion for vote by ballot. He opposed it, so did the Government. He supported Government against the repeal of the window tax and of the malt tax. He op- posed with Government the alteration of the Corn Laws. He op- posed the abolition of impressment and the repeal of the Union. He supported Government on the question relative to the Pension List, and Mr. Tennyson's motion for ( as- we understood) triennial Parlia- ments. On all these questions he was with the Government. He differed, however, wilh the Government as to the forced admission of the Dissenters into the Universities. He differed with them about the Committee on Baron Smith. ( Laughter.) He did not vote with them certainly on the Church Temporalities Bill, and he opposed Lord Althorp's motion for making allnotes above five pounds a legal tender. Could it then be fairly said that he was invariably opposed to the Government? He would now fairly and candidly state his views as regarded the Reform Bill, and not for the purpose of attracting support by false and insidious prof- ssions. The Reform Bill having passed, he saw that a great andimportant change had inconsequence taken place in the constitution of Parliament and the practical working of the representation; and he saw that, as a matter of course, a great eliange must take place in public men if they meant to act honestly and in the perfection of the existing laws. ( Cheers.) We shall also propose a the intention of his Majesty's Government to propose, continued the Right Honourable Baronet, to tell you what those measures are as indicated by the King's Speech, and to afford that explanation which has been required. I fear that the explanation which 1 shall give may be somewhat tedious, and that the length of it, wore it not for the station which I occupy, would prevent me obtaining a patient hearing; but that which would be denied to me as a private individual will not be refused me in my capacity of a Minister of the Crown. In the first place, Sir 1 will refer to the relations of this country with foreign nations. We do state to the public that we have a confident expectation of the maintenance of peace. We do say, at least we mean to do so implicitly, that in our judgment there is a tendency to increasing confidence on the part of some of the great Powers of Europe, That confidence was manifested in the commencement by reducing their military establishments. Austria and Prussia have both commenced a reduction of their military establishments, the one in Italy, and the other in the Rhenish pro- vinces. I do not see how it is unfortunate that great military Govern- ments should have confidence in ns; I do not see how it is unfortunate that their military establishments should be reduced in consequence of their placing confidence in this country ; for Sir, we have contracted with those Powers no engagements which bind us to depart, from the principle on which we have always professed to act— a disinclination to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. ( Cheers.) I must say that nothing can be more unwise. There is nothing to be more deprecated than the course which is occasionally pursued in this House, that of loading with personalobloquy and the severest vituperation, those authorities which hold supreme power in coun- tries with which it is our interest to cultivate and preserve relations of cordial amity. ( Cheers.) What inconsistence is there, if there be any I would gladly see it pointed out, in maintaining the liberal principles of a free and representative Government, and at the same time cultivating the most friendly relations with Powers in which despotic authority exists. It would be as well if some of those who profess to be the warmest friends of liberal opinions would in this point imitate the example of a country which was said to be second to none in their encouragement. The United States was thought to be more liberal in their institutions than we were ; but was it guilty of any inconsistency, of any dereliction of principle in creating to the uttermost the most friendly relations with Russia ? ( Cheers.) What is the probable consequence of pursuing the course to which I have referred? Do we not alienate those countries, and estrange them from our confidence, by indulging in reflection: which have no tendency to diminish their power, but which make them less disposed to permit us to exercise our power and salutary influence? By some, indeed, it is inferred, that the consequence of this increasing confidence is to occasion an alienation on the part of another Government, to which we are allied by the closest bonds- the Government of France. But why should this impression exist Where are the grounds for entertaining such an impression ? Who, Sir, was the first, without hesitation, to confirm the na_ scent power of Louis Philippe by immediate and unhesitating recognition ? Who, but the Duke of Wellington ? ( Cheers.) Why then should it be supposed that we view with jealousy the increasing prosperity of France, and that, we are averse to maintain with her that good under- standing on which I conscientiously believe the maintenance of the peace of Europe materially depends ? The next point to which I shall refer is that of economy, in relation to which we have stated- a simple fact, viz., that the estimates for the present year will be mate- rially lower than the estimates on any former occasion since the war. That being so, it is right for the King to state the fact. But it has not been stated with the view of instituting an invidious comparison between our actions and those of thepreceding Government. To the exclusive credit of this reduction we do not pretend that we are enti- tled. On the contrary; for from the period at which we assumed the Government down to the present time, that credit must be shared with the Administration which preceded us. That I am bound to say ; and I am also called upon to add, that as that Administra- tion only enforced the principle which was established by the Duke of Wellington, so have we Deen acting only upon the economical principles which were enforced by the Government we have suc- ceeded. ( Much cheering). At any rate this is an answer to those who say that the return of a Conservative Administration is always _ at- tended by a great increase of expense. ( Cheers.) I do entertain a sanguine hope that it may be possible, for I will not commit myself by speaking positively, when we come to compare the estimates of the present year with those of last year, to make a reduction con- sistent with tliw execution of the public service, and to the extent of 500,000/. That is a reduction, I repeat, of which we do not claim the whole credit. It is a reduction flowing less from savings in esta- blishments than from economical measures which were enforced by the Duke of Wellington originally, and which were acted upon by the late Administration. On the subject of slavery, I know that a general impression was entertained that the success of the great measure for the emancipation of the slaves would be impeded by the restoration of the Conservatives to power. That arose from some of us having expressed doubts as the ultimate success of the measure, from not having at one time entertained such sanguine expectations of it as at others. Now 1 cannot conceive how any man could suppose that an individual who felt himself bound either by a moral or public obligation, would think of impeding the success of ameasure because it had disappointed his expectations as to its results. What, Sir, is the practical course which we have pursued ? So far from seeking any advantage which is connected with the government of the colo- nies, our first resolution, on our appointment to power, was to con- tinue in every colony the Governors whom we found there. ( Cheers.) They were acquainted with the views of the late Government, and were parties to their intentions. In Jamaica, the Marquis of Sligo was acting as Governor. He was fully cognizant of the intentions of the Government. He had had personal communications with many of its members; and therefore the very first act of the Noble Lord, now at the head of the Colonial Department, was to write to him, and entreat him to remain in the Government of the co- lony. ( Cheers). We have taken upon ourselves the responsibility of sending out additional Magistrates; and this is the only case in which we have acted without the sanction of Parliament. We have therefore not attempted to disturb the operation of that great measure alluded to; and I do not doubt that I shall have the warm support of Parliament for furthering its success by sending out additional aid for the preservation ofthe colonies. ( Much cheer- ing.) Sir, it is said that the Speech is vague and incomplete ; that it gives no indication of the proposed measures of Government; and that it is couched in the usual terms which leave the Parliament uncertain as to the intentions of the Administration. This observa- tion must have been made before his Majesty's Speech was read— ( Laughter)— for I will venture to say that of all the Speeches which have been delivered from the Throne this is the most explicit and precise as to the intentions ofthe Government. ( Cheers.) I think, that I returned from the Continent on the 10th of Novem- ber, and I am now speaking on the 24th of February. I think, Sir, it must be allowed that in such a brief interval of time it is no light matter to constitute a Government to conduct the ordinary public affairs, and to give such a consideration to various measures as to enable us to announce them to you in the way we have. ( Cheers.) There is the Tithe Question in Ireland. We shall pro- pound a measure upon that subject. There is the commutation of tithes in England, and on that we shall bring forward a measure. We also intend to propose a measure founded on the report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, the effect of which will be to destroy all local and peculiar Courts of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and to appoint supreme Courts for the cognizance of all ecclesiasti- cal matters. ( Cheers.) We shall also propose measures for the more effectual maintenance of ecclesiastical discipline. I do not mean the discipline of the Church over laymen, but a measure to give greater force to episcopal authority and to prevent those indecent cases which sometimes occur, and to exhibit the im- measure to relieve those who dissent from the discipline of the Established Church from the necessity of celebrating the marriage ceremony according to the rites of that Establishment. But then, Sir, it is said, is that all you intend to do for the Dissenters? Do you merely propose to relieve them from the obligation of the marriage ceremony? 1 only know that not far back great importance was attached'to this subject, and therefore it was one of the first to which I directed my attention—( Cheers)— with the wish to satisfy the ex- pectations that were entertained on that head. It is next said that no mention is made of a general registration— that the Speech does not indicate measures that are in so imperfect a state that we cannot propound them to the consideration of the House. Now I ask the House whether this subject is not one which would clearly occupy more time than it has yet been possible to afford it? The institu- tion of a general registration is required to be complete, and there- fore it must undergo an attentive consideration. I have no hesita- tion in avowing that to the principle of the measure I have no objection. Indeed I think it would be a great advantage if the Dis- senters had an opportunity of recording those events, so that refer- ence could be made to them in case of litigation for property. In regard to the question I observe that people are too apt to reflect on the consequences of the exercise of arbitrary power in despotic countries, and to point to the efficient regulations which are there made for a general registration. In Prussia a heavy penalty is imposed upon any person who, having a child in his house, " does not give notice to the pub- lic registry. It is probable that this is an effectual regulation, butI much doubt whether such a one would be satisfactory, whether it could be enforced, in this country. Of this, however, I " am confident, that a measure on this subject does require the maturest consideration, and that we ought to ascertain the regulations which have been made in every country in Europe before we adopt any crude proposition untested by experience.' This I will avow that, in my opinion, it would be more satisfactory to confine that registry to a parochial registry, under the direction of the Minister, " il it were possible to overcome the difficulties which are connected with religion. After this explicit statement, the House cannot charge me with neglect or indifference, because I have not brought forward every possible question at this exact time; and, in quitting the subject, I need hardly say that the question is now under serious consideration. On the subject of the Municipal Corporations, it is again said that the Speech is vague and incomplete ; but is it forgotten that a Committee which was appointed to inquire into the Municipal Corporations made a certain discovery— that they found they had not the power to conduct the inquiry, and that they deemed it advisable to recommend the appointment of a Commission by which the inquiry should be carried on ? Shortly after our appointment to office, the Commissioners were called upon to supply us with information upon the matter under inquiry, it being determined to consider care- fully their Report, and to " weigh the suggestions offered, in order to found upon them a satisfactory measure. I can have no reserve upon the communication which took place; and perhaps it may > e satisfactory to the House to hear the naturl of that communication and the prospects of the Report. The Com- missioners stated that 293 Municipal Corporations, including London, had been visited; that 241 Reports of Corporations had been sent in, as well as several surveys of Commis- sions ; that 152 Reports of boroughs were unfinished, and that the Commissioners could not at present exactly state - wlien the general Report would be ' completed, but they hoped it would be finished before the end of February. The Right Hon. Baronet then proceeded to state that without the opportunity of con- sidering the suggestions in the Report it was impossible for the Go- vernment to give notice of any measure that the Report which had been made by the Committee ' of the House of Commons, a Committee over which the Right Hon, Gentleman in the chair presided, suffi- ciently justified tiie Government in not proposing a measure till they had before them the result of the various inquiries. The Right Hon. Baronet having read a paragraph from the Report, bearing out this position, proceeded to say that afterthis he certainly was surprised at an Hon. Gentleman asking him whether he was prepared to give the householders the right of election in all Corporations ? Of course until he had attentively considered the suggestions which would be contained in the Report of the Commissioners he would not pledge himself to any particular measure. If the Hon. Member had asked him whether he would enter into the consideration of that Report without prejudice, he would answer, most certainly, for how could he ( Sir R. Peel) have any conceivable interest in maintaining the abuses of the Corporations, or preventing the application of a remedy ? Let the Report of the Committee be delivered, and he pledged himself he would adopt the opinions in his Majesty's Speech which was pronounced in 1834, when Lord Grey was at the head of the Administration. The Right Hon. Bart, here read an extract from the Speech, to the effect that the Report of the Commissoners would afford the II ouse much useful information which would enable them to judge of the nature of the existing abuses, and in what man- ner corrections might in due season be safely carried into effect. The Right Hon. Bart, said that he conceived it, would be contrary to usage— contrary to his duty as a Minister of the Crown— to pledge himself to the adoption of anv particular measure—( CheersJ— with- out previous consuleration. With regard to the question of Church rates, he supported the measure which was brought in by the late Administration, for the transfer of Church rates to the Consolidated Fund. He was then aware that to that arrangement there would be considerable opposition, not by himself or by his friends, but by thft Dissenters themselves ; and he was now bound to say that, notwith- standing that opposition, he was not prepared to make any further concession; he could not consent to the extinction of the rates. He thought that there was a positive obligation on the State to provide for the proper repair of those edifices consecrated to the service of religion. It was charged upon the land, and was one ofthe measures in contemplation when he advised the Crown to insert in the Speech from the Throne, that paragraph which called on the House to consider whether they could arrange a fairer distribution of the local burdens which pressed heavily upon the people. ( Cheers). It was entirely a misconstruction on this head, when it was imagined that some* general scheme of taxation Was in contemplation. He- could say that such a measure was not intended by the Government, and that the Report of the Committee for inquiring into county rates, and tor giving relief to agricultural labourers, had not been overlooked by the Government. With regard to a Reform of the Church of England, the subject was. one of the most extensive andjmost important. ( Cheers.) He would not make a promise of any immediate measure, but he would make a simple statement which ought to satisfy the House as to the intentions ofthe Government. On the vacancy of the first appoint- ment ill the Church, finding that it partook of the nature of a sinecure, he advised the Crown to make no appointment, but to let the cir- cumstances bejconsidered by the Church Commissioners ; and this, course he adopted, although the vacancy had occurred before the Church Commission was issued. The vacancy was the prebendal stall of Westminster, of the value of 1,2001. a year; and he should pursue the same course with respect to all Church preferments which fell in and which [ partook of the nature of a sinecure. This he should do with a view of fulfilling the objects of the Commission. What had been the practical course which they had already taken? They found two large parishes in Westminster dependent on the Chapter- of St. Margaret's and St. John's, with a population of fifty thousand, and with no adequate provision made for the performance of religious worship. The parish of St. Margaret with a population of twenty- eight thousand, had only one church, and the minister of the church was not enabled to make great exertions. They therefore resolved to attach the stall to that church, thus making a provision for the more effectual performance of the spiritual duties. There was no house belonging to the minister, and therefore they converted the prebendal residence into the rectorial house of St. Margaret's ; besides this, measures were adopted for making a more adequate provision for the performance of religious worship in other parts of the parish. He trusted that that statement would satisfy the House as to the intention of the Government, and remove any uneasy feeling should there be a delay in bringing for- ward a measure in the Legislature. Such were the measures which the Speech indicated, and which, if the House permitted, would be brought forward with as little delay as possible. N ow, as for the amendment of the Noble Lord, he thought it was liable to the objec- tion which had been' made to the Speech— it was vague and incom- plete. It states that the same principles which governed the abolition of slavery, and the amendment of the representation of the people, should correct the abuses of the Church and the Municipal Corpo- rations. What principle was there in all this ? » hat object was there in the amendment? Why, to make a declaration of what should govern the measures for the Reform of the Church and tha Corporations, when they could shortly have those measures before them, and when they would discuss them on as broad grounds as they chose. Now was it not evident that the amendment was brought forward for some other view ? ( Cheers.) \ V as it not evident 70 j o h n b u l l March 1. that Hon. Gentlemen on the other side were afraid. ( Much • cheering.) Yes, afraid to recognise in an amendment those measures on which they knew a difference of opinion prevailed. ( Renewed cheering.) Why had they not in- serted the ballot ? ( Cheers and laughter.) Why had they not inserted the repeal of the Septennial Act ? ( Cheers.) Why had they not inserted the repeal of the Union ? ( Much cheering.) They knew that on all those measures which had occu- pied the public attention since the Reform Bill there was an approach to unity. They went back some two or three years, when nothing but the Slavery Hill and the Reform Bill engrossed them; when no • division exis ed to cause the heterogeneous parties to diverge ; when they were united in sympathy and affection. ( Laughter and cheers.) Oh veteres revocamus amoves. But after the Reform Bill had passed • what became of the union, what became of the motion for carrying out the principle of the Reform Bill ? On these questions they shrunk trom an indication of their opinions, and that, too, although they were questions arising out of the Reform Bill. The reason was simple and obvious. On these latter questions there was a practical collision, but on the two great measures alluded to Hon. Gentlemen of different political opinions could view each other with the utmost affection. The amendment was produced for the purpose of in- volving in some little difficulty the Noble Lord on the second bench ( Lord Stanley) and Ms friends, who," it was supposed, in consequence of their concurrence in the Reform Bill and the abolition of slavery, could be caught in the trap of this amendment. " They certainly concurred in those measures, and were the most effec- tual promoters of them; but what need of their declared ap- proval of the principle of those measures ? ( Cheers.) Who doubted their approval ? Had they so much distrust of the Noble Lord and his friends that they thought it necessary to tie them down, and fetter th em with this Parliamentary resolution ? ( Cheers.) Notwithstanding these contrivances he would predict that if he kuew anything of those • whom it was thus intended to fetter they would easily discover what " was the real question at issue under this eulogiumof the Reform Bill, and act with their accustomed firmness and manliness. If the Hon. Gentleman asked him whether he would recognise the principles and act upon the spirit of those measures, he would refer to the course of the last two years, and ask them to show him what they meant by acting on the principles of those measures. ( Great cheering.) The Ilight Hon. Baronet further contended that it would be a reflection npon the Legislature to make preliminary declarations of this kind before tliev had the measures before them. He could not concur in the amendment, as it was thrown together in a way perfectly novel, and rendered it impossible for him to act. It referred expressly to the grievances of Dissenters as the grievances of Protestant Dissen- ters, thereby excluding the Catholic Dissenter from all consideration. ( Loud cheering.) Now his plans would include all Dissenters, and therefore, if he agreed to the amendment, it would be a limit of his liberality; it would hamper him, it would completely tie up his hands, and compel him to retrograde in the cause of temperate and beneficial Reform. ( Laughter and cheers.) With regard to the tithesinjlreland, he had already given notice of a motion; but Hon. Gentlemen would not wait, for his measure, conceiving it more prudent to stigmatise the Church of Ireland as the great dis- turber of the peace of that country. Reference was not made to the temporal secular question connected with tithes; but they charac- terised the Church of Ireland, notwithstanding the great reduction " which had been made in its establishment, as still existing to disturb the peace of Ireland, and therefore rendering further reductions necessary. This was a great, a most important question— a question not to be* disposed of equivocally by vague and general notices. He declared without any arrogant defiance, but with all that calmness • which attended the conscientious conviction of being actuated by npright motives, that to the proposition he would not accede. He could not accede to it without a conscious degradation in theperfomi- ance of the arduous duties he had to fulfil. He knew what the conse- quences must be. He feared the possibility of constructing a Govern- ment which could have greater claims to the confidence of the country than that which at the present moment existed. He saw not how such a Government was to be constructed. Even upon the principles of the Church question in Ireland it would now be difficult to re- construct the Government of Earl Grey. He presumed that no Go- vernment could exist that did not include a selection of those parts which now act together on the other side of the House. He had been surprised at what had been said by the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin ( Mr. O'Connell), for that Honour- able and Learned Member had declared that no consideration on earth should induce him to enter into the service of the * Crown whilst the question of the repeal of the Union was not to be brought forward. It would be impossible to form a Cabinet of men differing from the present Government unless they had the support of public opinion. They could not set at defiance the opinions and feelings of the public. They might overpower them by violence, if they had the wickedness to resort to physical force. They might for a time prevail; but they would themselves be the first to be overwhelmed. ( Hear, hear.) ' He felt it was his duty, as long as he could, consistently with his honour as a public man, to stand by the trust which he had then the honour to hold. ( Cheers.) He trusted that the House would allow him to present nis measures to their attention. He offered to them an attempt to settle the tithe question, he offered to them an attempt to reform the Ecclesiastical Courts, and the Courts connected with the administration of the Civil Law, and he attempted to re- move the disabilities under which the Dissenters laboured in their professional pursuits. He offered to the House the prospect of doing this. Above all he offered to them the hopes of carrying these measures into effect in concurrence with the independent exercise of the authority of the House of Peers, if there was any ad- vantage in his position, it was that he could be instrumental in re- storing the harmonious action of the two Houses of Parlia- ment. Gentlemen opposite might possibly form a coalition with men of extreme opinions, but unless he was greatly mistaken, the time would come, and shortly come, when the popular exultation in their success would abate, and when they would have no alterna- tive except that of relinquishing the Government to those who offered tomarchinthe course of sober, rational, temperate, and well- con- sidered Reform, carrying with them the concurrence of those very men who would have" no alternative but to relinquish power, or to resort to measures of compulsion and violence, which would make all Reform ineffective, and seal the fate of the British Constitution. The Right Hon. Baronet sat down amidst the loud and reiterated cheers of the House. After Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech, the House adjourned until next day, when the debate was resumed. Mr. ROBIN- SON, of Worcester, supported the Address, and was followed by Mr. WARD, who supported the amendment; he was re- plied upon with much animation and eloquence, and tri- umphant success, by Lord STORMONT.— Captain BERKELEY supported the amendment. Lord STANLEY, in a very luminous address to the House, announced his intention of supporting the Address, not thereby pledging himself to support the Government, but as affording it a just and fair trial. His Lordship said he should wait with anxiety, patience, and forbearance, to see how its promises were fulfilled— a course which he considered to be in perfect conformity with the declarations he had made to his constituents. His Lordship dwelt somewhat at length upon what he considered an almost unconstitutional assumption of power by the Duke of WELLINGTON, of which, he said, notice should be taken by Parliament, lest it should be worked into a precedent. The Noble Lord sat down amidst loud eheer- ings. Dr. LUSHINGTON followed. Of the Learned Gentleman's speech the merit may, perhaps, be ascertained by one decla- ration which he was pleased to make—" He denied that he Jiad ever spoken disrespectfully of Royaltyand then talked of Queen CAROLINE— one of whose Counsel he was. Mr. PRAED, however, refreshed the Learned Doctor's unwilling memory, by setting aside the name and case of the Learned Doctor's illustrious client, and nailing him to the addresses to his constituents, so recently published by him, and which are replete with the coarsest and grossest allusions to the present, and the two preceding Monarchs. Wits, they say, have short memories, but anybody who knows Dr. LUSHINGTON, will admit that he cannot plead this apothegm in extenuation of his forgetfulness of the addresses to which we allude, or of his weakness or temerity in making the denial he did. Mr. SHEIL and Mr. H. GRATTAN spoke, we need not say how, or on what side. The latter gentleman— who, we believe, was perfectly serious in what he said— kept the House in a one- continued shout of laughter during his speech. After Col. PERCIVAL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL spoke, and repeated, with wonderful spirit and energy, all the things which everybody else of the Opposition party had said before. He was mightily cheered by his party, and most indulgently listened to by his opponents ; and although we may safely say there never yet was such a leader of an Opposition as his Lordship, we cannot but admit that he did the tiling quite as well as his personal friends could expect, and rather better than some of those who have been drilled into following him might have wished. Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY, and Mr. BARING spoke, after which, Mr. HUME moved the adjournment till the next day ( Thursday). On Thursday little occurred worthy of remark, except an admirable speech of Mr. Serjeant GOULBURN. Sir JAMES GRAHAM supported the Address— Lord HOWICK supported the amendment in nearly direct opposition, as it appeared to us, to every thing he had said in the course of the debate. Mr. O'CONNELL spoke at considerable length; but as the present Destructive party rely with infinitely greater hope upon the exertions of the Honourable Gentleman's tail than upon the efforts of his head, he did not put forth bis usual energies. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE attacked Mr. BARING on the score of property, and Mr. O'DWYER concluded the debate earlier than he intended, by being universally coughed down. On a division the numbers were— For the Address 302 For the Amendment 309 That, this is a majority we cannot deny; but we do most positively deny that it is a majority that ought to affect the Ministry, or can be considered favourable to any but the most ultra- Destructive faction in the country. It is a majority produced by the votes of forty- five or forty- six Irish Roman Catholics, followers of that individual whom the present Opposition, while Ministers, denounced in the King's Speech from the Throne, as the agitator of Ireland. Are the voices of this anti- national clique either to represent the feelings of the loyal and well- disposed people, or regulate the conduct of the King's Government ? Can such men as Lord HOYVICK, Mr. LITTLETON, Mr. SPRING RICE, Lord KERRY7, the GROS- VENORS, the ST. MAURS, the HOWARDS, and the CAVEN- DISHES, accept the support of this faction ? or, if they are unable to shake it off, can they feel satisfied by receiving it ? We disbelieve the fact. What Lord JOHN RUSSELL may feel — if feeling he have beyond the delight of seeing men so infi- nitely his superiors, condescending to follow him— we cannot presume to guess. Certain, however, we are, that the un- natural alliance cannot last long:— there must be honour and principle somewhere amongst the Opposition. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has already proved their existence— and surely those who have character to maintain, and property to preserve, will repudiate as friends and supporters, the men whom tliey have so recently declared to be agitators of a kingdom, and enemies to her peace and prosperity. SIR CHARLES MANNERS SUTTON. AT a Court of Assistants of the Merchant Tailors' Company, holden at their Hall on Tuesday, the 21th day of February, 1835, Resolved unanimously,— That the freedom of this company be presented to the Right Hon. Sir Charles Manners Sutton, G. C. B., one of the representatives in Parliament for the University of Cam- bridge, in testimony of the high sense entertained by the Court of his fidelity and zeal in the service of his country; for the industry, integrity, and impartiality with which for so many years he pre- sided as Speaker in the Commons House of Parliament, and for his steady support of the constitution as by law established. By order of the Court, ( Signed) J. B. DE MOLE, Clerk of the Company. TO WHICH THE FOLLOWING ANSWER HAS BEEN RECEIVE!!. Palace Yard, Fell. 25,1835. Gentlemen,— I accept with pride and gratitude the honour you have conferred upon me in the freedom of the Merchant Tailors' Company; it is an honour, which, however unexpected, is most highly valued by me— and there is no wish dearer to my heart, than, that the expressions of approbation of my public conduct, with which so distinguished a body has conferred this honour, should accord with the sentiments, and represent the feelings of the public at large. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most faithful and obedient servant, ( Signed) C. MANNERS SUTTON. Addresses have also been presented to Sir CHARLES SUTTON from Salisbury and other places ; and preparations are understood to be making in order to give him a public dinner npon an unusually ex- tensive and magnificent scale. WE have elsewhere promised a few observations upon Lord BROUGHAM'S reply to the'LORD CHANCELLOR'S remarks upon the conduct of the Noble and Learned Baron, as regards the introduction by his Lordship of sundry names into certain Commissions of the Peace, not only without the ordinary reference to the Lords Lieutenants of the counties interested in the proceeding, but after his Lordship had ceased to be LORD CHANCELLOR. In defending himself against some of Lord BROUGHAM'S loose attacks ( more especially while complaining that he was deprived of the Great Seal somewhat too precipitately), the LORD CHANCELLOR is reported to have said:—• He ( the Lord Chancellor) left it to their Lordships to decide whether it would have been expedient, nay, whether it would have been proper, in his Noble Friend to have left, for an entire fort- night, the management and controul of public affairs in the hands of those Ministers whom his Majesty had thought proper to dismiss from his councils? ( Cheers.) Why the adoption of such a course would have endangered every prospect of the new Government, and consequently have defeated those inten- tions which induced his Majesty to call it together. ( Cheers.) The Noble and Learned Lord seemed surprised at his adopting such an argument, and therefore it might be as well he should state to them a somewhat singular fact, which he thought they would admit not only fully confirmed his right, to use it, but demon- strated that he and his colleagues had substantial grounds for appre- hending the results he had stated as likely to ensue from the controul of public affairs being left in the hands of the dissolved Ministry until the return of Sir R. Peel. The Great Seal, it would be recol- lected, had been left in the hands of the Noble and Learned Lord for some days after the dissolution of the Ministry. Now what was the use that Noble and Learned Lord made of liis authority during those few days ? It was, perhaps, unnecessary for him to in- form their Lordships, most of whom, from their knowledge of the duties and privileges of Lords Lieutenants of counties, must be aware of the fact, that the Great . Seal never named an individual on the Commission of the peace without con- sulting the Lord Lieutenant of the county on the propriety of the nomination. The contrary at least he knew had never been his practice, and he also knew that his practice closely followed that pursued by the Noble and Learned Earl, who preceded him in the office of Lord Chancellor. But what would their Lordships sup- pose was the conduct of the Noble and Learned Lord who last ad- dressed them as regarded that point? WHY, SUBSEQUENT TO HIS DISMISSAL FROM OFFICE, DVJUNU THE FEW PAYS HE WAS PERMITTED TO RETAIN THE GREAT SEAL, WITH A VIEW TO THE DISPOSAL OF SOME CASES IN CHANCERY WHICH HAD SEEN HEARD BEFORE HIM, AFTER HE' HAD VIRTUALLY, THOUGH NOT NOMINALLY, CEASEB TO BE THE LORD CHANCELLOR, HE SENT FOR THE COMMISSIONS OF SIX COUNTIES, AND NOT ONLT WITHOUT ANY APPLICATION HAVING BEEN MADE BY THE LORDS LIEUTENANTS OF THOSE COUNTIES, BUT IN DECLARED AND DI- RECT CONTRADICTION TO THEWTSHES OE THOSE IJORDS LIEUTENANTS, ACTUALLY CAUSED FIATS TO BE ISSUED, inserting the names of se- veral individuals upon them. ( Loud cheers from the Ministerial Benches.) That was a fact which fortunately defied contradiction, inasmuch as the names of the individuals to whom he alluded were at the present moment to be found on those Commissions. He did not mean to say that all this was illegal; but he urged it as an ar- gument, and a strong argument too, against allowing the seals of office to remain in the hands of a dissolved Administration until cir- cumstances permitted the appointment of their successors. ( Hear.) In Lord BROUGHAM'S reply to the LORD CHANCELLOR, his Lordship entirely omitted to notice this allegation; the matter, however subsequently came under discussion, when— The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt it necessary, in consequence of what had passed, to remind the House of what he had stated. His statement was that six Commissions of the Peace were sent to the office two or three days after the late Government had been dismissed. The whole of them purported to have been signed on the 14th; but whether signed before or after the dismissal of the late Government it was impossible for him to say. Two arrived in time, not so the rest; and respecting every one of them there had been complaints from the different Lords Lieutenants. Lord BROUGHAM said that the Noble and Learned Lord had entirely mistaken the date. He had given orders a fortnight before for the Commissions to be made out. He did not know till eleven o'clock at night, ON THE 14TH, that the Government was broken up, and he had left the Court of Chancery, having. signed the Com- missions, BEFORE FOUR O'CLOCK. This is my Lord BROUGHAM'S reported statement. On the 30th of last November we brought the whole of this matter before our readers; it will only be necessary generally to refer to our Paper of that day's date in order to afford a clear explanation of many things yet untouched upon. But it is absolutely essential to the due appreciation of Lord BROUGHAM'S statement, that he signed the COMMISSIONS BEFORE FOUR O'CLOCK ON THE 14TH OF NOVEMBER, to submit the following attested copy of a letter written by his Lordship's command on the 19TH OF THAT MONTH, five days after he knew of the " breaking up of the Government," " five days after he was out of office," and five days after his Lordship says he signed the Commissions at four o'clock :— " Stanhope- street, Nov. 19. " SIR,— I am desired by the Lord Clianceller to request that you will send the Cumberland Commission of the Peace to the Crown Office, by return of post. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " LEONARD EDMUNDS, " Private Secretary to the Lord Chancellor. " W. HODGSON, Esq., < fcc. ifcc. < fcc." Here we have Mr. LEONARD EDMUNDS, who was not Secretary to the LORD CHANCELLOR ( having been ap- pointed Clerk of the Crown on the 15th of November), directing Mr. HODGSON to send to LORD BROUGHAM ( who was not LORD CHANCELLOR), the Commission of a county, which could by no possibility reach London until Monday the 24th, that being, according to his Lordship's own admission— first in the Court of Chancery, and now in the House of Lords— eight clear days after the time he had ceased to be Chancellor. There is one quibble which may ' serve his Lordship's turn. The Commission to which we refer, never reached his Lordship's hands, and he may say he only alluded to others which did; but, even supposing his Lord- ship to take this ground of defence, and establish it; does it in the slightest degree weaken the proof of his inten- tions with regard to the other Commissions which he did not get hold of, but which, if he had, he knew, as we have already stated, could not have arrived in London until ten clear days after he himself admitted that he had ceased to be the officer, which he is by his own command, represented to be, by an individual with equal reason signing himself his Lordship's private secretary. No opposition will be offered to the return of the Honourable CHARLES EWAN LAW, the Recorder of London, for Cambridge, the seat for which University will be ( or is) vacated by the elevation of Sir CHARLES MANNERS SUTTON to the House of Lords by the title of Viscount CANTERBURY, of the city of Canterbury, and Baron BOTTESFORD, of Bottesford, in the county of Leicester. THE happy people in the United States, as they are called, have broken out in a fresh place. The President has been assassinated— an attempt has been made upon the life of Mr. JACKSON by a painter of the name of LAURENCE, who snapped two pistols at his Excellency's head ; the latter of the two, after having been knocked down by a Lieutenant in the Navy, and " promptly pummelled " by one of the Secre- taries of State—" the offence being a bailable one, and exces- sive bail being forbidden" ( we quote the American papers)— the assassin was taken to the watch- house, and not being able to procure bail for about .£ 200, was committed by Chief Justice CRANCH for trial at the next term of the Court. NEWS has arrived from China of a hostile conflict between our ships of war and the peaceable Chinese; and also, the account of Lord NAPIER'S death— both melancholy events being the results of the policy of the last Ministry, in sending his Lordship there, empowered to violate every principle of the trade, and outrage every prejudice of the people. His Lordship felt bitterly the execrations which were lavished upon his name, and the indigni- ties offered to bis person. In the action, many lives have been lost. The glory of the greatest slaughter of'course rests with the British force; the Andromache had onlv one sailor killed, and three wounded, but the havoc amongst the inoffen- sive Ho Po RANG JANGS was very considerable: and all this, in fulfilment of the prophecy of the Quarterly Review of January twelvemonth. Since this scene of death and bloodshed— things being restored to what they were before tile late Government dis- bursed .£' 10,000 per annum, besides GOD knows what, for outfits and establishments, in order to overturn them— the trade has been re- opened. Whatever advantages this return to old principles may produce, they will of course be propor- tionably lessened by the liberal regulations of the same Ministry, which has overthrown the privileges of the East India Company, and enables tfie British public to buy poison, under the name of tea, at. prices considerably higher than they before gave for tea itself. WE find in the Morning Post the report of a trial, one passage of which may be somewhat instructively read. It was an action brought by an electioneering agent against a Member of the last Parliament for professional services. In the course of the evidence, says the report, two letters dated 15th November, 1833, and 5th February, 1804, were put in. The last letter, in addition to what is contained in the statement of the case, observed that the defendant had swu Mr. LOWOHAMJ the friend of March 1. j o h n b u l l* 71 the Lord Chancellor ( Lord BRWGHAM), and that the Lord Chan- cellor was very anxious-— On the officer arriving at this part of the tetter, Lord Denman suggested that it need not be read aloud, and that the best way would be to hand it to the defendant's Counsel. Mr. PLATT, the defendant's Counsel examined the letter, and after some consultation with Sir J. Campbell, handed it back to the officer of the Court, directing him to omit that part. It did not, therefore, transpire what was the connexion between the defendant, Mr. LOWDHAM, and Lord BROUGHAM. The Jury returned a\ erdict for the paintiff for the full amount claimed. Upon this we make 110 comment;— we merely wish to call public attention to the tender care of Lord BROUGHAM, evinced by his friends the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and the late ATTORNEY- GENERAL. WITH reference to, and in elucidation of, an observation of ours to- day upon the statements of Lord BROUGHAM as to signing the Commissions of certain counties before four o'clock on the 14th of November, we think it as well to give the following passage from the Times of Saturday, respecting the " mistake" of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the House of Commons on the preceding Thursday :— " Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the debate of Thursday, inquired from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, whether the express ground on which he had publicly declared his opinion that Sir CHARLES M. SUTTON was disqualified for the Chair, was not his interference in respect to the dissolution of Parliament ? " Lord John Russell denied this:; and made the following reply to the question of Sir ROBERT PEEL :—* His impression was, that the late Speaker went no further than this— that he took an active part with respect to the formation of a G overnment, which Government could do no other than dissolve the Parliament. He did not think he ever had the impression that the Right Hon. Gentleman took an active part in advising the dissolution..' " We have been assured yery positively, but we must presume that our informant was mistaken, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL did address to several Members> of Parliament a circular letter from which the following is an extract":—' I will not disguise my conviction that Sir C. M. Sutton has disqualified himself from resuming the Chair, by his attendance at the Council which advised the dissolution of Par- liament.' " As this passage is evidently at direct variance with the answer to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S question, we presume there must be some- where a great mistake.." THAT excellent paper the Kentish Observer, of Thursday, gives the following classification of the votes of the various representatives of the Kentish population :— The county of Kent supplied the factious majority of last Thurs- day, with nine votes. There were the two HODGES', of course; and Sir T. TROUBRIUGE ( one of his MAJESTY'S Naval Aides- de- Camp), of course ; and VILLIERS and CONYNGHAM, of course ; and MARJORI- BANKS, ROBARTS, BARNARD, and BERNAL— equally of course. We say of courso, because if the sort of " public principle" which se- cured the votes of these Members, had required them to vote that the moon was made of green cheese, they would, of coarse, have done so. The moment men surrender the right of independent thought and action, it matters not what task is enjoined them. Be it servile, be it absurd, or be it dishonest, their province is simply to obey orders. The drudges of a party, like other drudges, must do their work, and hold their peace. Art thou our slave, Our captive, at the public mill our drudge, And dafst thou, at our sending and command, Dispute thy coming ? We subjoin a list of Kentish votes, shewing at one view the free labourers and the drudges. not permit them to delegate the last duties to others, who can neither | Church of Rome. How has this enactment been observed? ' l'het experience nor appreciate the sorrows of their own hearts:— " The remains of this excellent Nobleman were yesterday ( Feb. 24th) removed from his late mansion, to their last earthly resting place, in the family vault, at Cobham. The arrangements were conducted in the same manner, as at the funeral of his noble father, whose death took place about four years ago. No invitations were issued, except to immediate relatives and connexions ; but it was intimated, in reply to the inquiries of those gentlemen who wished to attend, that their presence would be considered a gratifying, mark of respect to the memory of the deceased. The number who availed themselves of this means'of testifying their feeling, was accordingly, very great. Free Votes. J. Angerstein Sir J. P. Beresford Sir W. Geary Wyndham Lewis Sir £.

As to Sir THOMAS TROU- BRIDGE, we really do not know if there be a salary attached to the office of Naval Aid- de- camp to the KING, but we know there is an eclat about it; and we know, that when Captain MEYNELL and Colonel HORACE SEYMOUR voted according to their principles upon the Ileform Bill, Lord GREY insisted upon their removal from the Royal Household, and carried his point. We believe our provincial contem- porary spells the name of Mr. VILLERS wrongly— VILLIERS is the name of the CLARENDON family, and of our ambassador at Madrid, whose brother opposes the Government,— of what family the Canterbury Mr. VILLERS is we know not, but most assuredly not of that. IN justice to Mr. W. HOPKINS, who has been denounced in all the London papers for not drinking the health of the excellent Bishop of WORCESTER, we publish the following as we find it:— " TO THE EDITOR OF THE WORCESTER JOURNAL. " Sir— I shall feel obliged by your inserting my most unqualified contradiction of the following false and malicious paragraph, con- tained in the Guardian of last Saturday. " ' A good Christian.— Mr. W. HOPKINS refused to drink to the Bishop of WORCESTER'S health at Mr. PHILIFS'S dinner, and, we un- derstand, many persons drank it in water, to the great advantage of the landlord.' " I drank the toast with every mark of respect, in common with those around me, and the only remark I made, was privately to Mr. PARE, the reporter, who sat next to me, that the Bishop bore an ex- cellent character, and was much esteemed in his neighbourhood.— So much for the veracity of the Guardian.— Yours, very respect- Nearly 20 Clergymen, and most of the Magistrates, and principal gentry of the neighbourhood, assembled at Cobham Hall, and formed a part ot the mournful procession, which moved from the hall at two o'clock, and proceeded, on foot, up the long avenue, leading through the park to the village, being joined, on the way by his Lordship's tenantry. The fineness of the day brought together an immense conconrse of spec- tators, wholined the avenue, and thronged the village and the church- yard, but conducted themselves with remarkable decorum and pro- priety. It was strictly enjoined that there should be as little funeral pomp as possible. In theabsence, however, of the " mockery of woe," there were depicted in the countenances of all present the marks of genuine sorrow. Each individual seemed to feel that he was following to the grave the remains of one, whose removal hence was an irre- parable loss. Among the mourners present were, Sir HENRY PAR- NELL, the father, and Mr. PARNELL, the brother, of Lady DARNLEY ; Dr. LONGLEY, head master of Harrow, her Ladyship's brother- in- law ; Col. and Mr. BLIGH ; and other relatives and connexions of the deceased Earl. The chief mourner, however, was the widowed Countess herself, who, supported by Mr. PARNELL, and strengthened by Him * who giveth power to the taint,' followed the body of her beloved Lord, to the ' house appointed for all living.' On her ritrht was her eldest son, the present Earl of DARNLEY, an interesting child of eight years of age. Her second son, about two years younger, walked on the left of Mr. PARNELL, while her little daughter was led by her cousin, Miss BLIGH. It was a deeply affecting sight to con- template this bereaved group, as they stood near the mouth of that vault, which was about to enclose for ever, from their sight, all tlia was mortal of a most exemplary husband and father. The beautiful burial service of our church, was impressively read by the Rev. J. STOKES ( Incumbent of Cobham, and formerly tutor to the deceased), assisted by his curate, the Rev. J. BOWMAN. Before the body was removed out of the church, a funeral address was delivered by the Rev. J. GRAHAM." " TO JOHN BL. LL. Union Club, Feb. 23, 1835.

WE exceedingly regret having to announce the lamentable acci- dent by which the Right Hon. and Rev. the Earl of SCARBOROUGH met his death. On Tuesday last, about noon, his Lordship was hunting in the parish of West Drayton, near Retford, and when riding by the side of the Clumber coach- road, his horse caught his foot in a hole from which a fox had been dug some time before, in consequence of which the horse fell on his side, and his Lordship was thrown with considerable force on the contrary side and pitched on his head. Although the ground was green- sward his hat was broken to pieces; he was taken up perfectly senseless, and awful to relate, in about three quarters of an hour, was a corpse. Mr. FLOWER, surgeon of Retford, was speedily on the spot, but medical aid was of no avail. His Lordship was an ardent sportsman, and an excellent landlord, and universally esteemed. He leaves issue, one spn, Lord LUMLEY, now Earl of SCARBOROUGH, and three daughters. Amongst the many munificent acts of his Lordship, was his present to York Minster of the new organ, which has cost above 10,0001. Lord LUMLEY being the radical member for the north division of Notting- hamshire, a vacancy of course occurs. THERE is something so peculiarly impressive in the account of the funeral of the late much- lamented Earl of DARNLEY, which we find in the Kentish Observer, that we strain a point as to room to afford space for the following extract from it. It has been for sometime the fashion— if fashion can have influence over such ceremonies— to permit the last melancholy shew of affection and respect to the de- parted, to devolve upon indifferent and even inferior persons. The tribute of real devotional regard and attachment paid by the amiable and sorrowing relict of the Noble Earl, well deserves to be recorded. It merits the respect, the sympathy, and the imitation of those who jeally feel fcs Isss tbey have sustained, whose e vnest grief will1 EASTERN MISSIONS.— The Council of King's College, London, have elected M. von DADELSZEN, a student in the higher department of that Institution, to one of the Scholarships founded by Sir HENRY WORSLEY, K. C. B., for the Education of Missionaries to British India. This is the first appointment made under Sir H. WORSLEY's endow- ment The Learned Judges for the ensuing Western Circuit, Mr. Justice PATTESON, and Mr. Baron GURNEY, will dine with the Duke of WELLINGTON, at Strathfieldsaye, on Monday next, should the state of public affairs allow of the Noble Duke's absence from town upon that day. The Learned Judges will proceed at an early hour on Tuesday morning to Winchester, where they will at once open the Commission. The Durham county address to the KING, declaratory of confidence in the integrity of his Majesty's present Ministers, and a determina- tion to uphold their Sovereign in the exercise of his just prerogative; was presented at the Levee on Wednesday by the Marquis of LON- DONDERRY, accompanied by the Lord Bishop of EXETER, the Rev. GEORGE TOWNSHEND, Prebendary of the Cathedral, and the Hon. ARTHUR TREVOR, M. P. for the city of Durham. It was signed by upwards of 2,000 persons, and was most graciously received by his MAJESTY. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Earl of HADDINGTON, arrived in town on Tuesday. His Lordship experienced a most dangerous and tempestuous passage across the Irish channel, which materially delayed his arrival. The last accounts from Bombay state that the Government of India were preparing to commence hostile operations against Joudpore, and it is asserted that the expedition was not to be undertaken against the petty Sovereignty only, but was to form the beginning of a great political movement, for the purpose of obtaining the entire subjuga. tion of the Indies, and to completely crush RUNJEET SING, the Ameeri of Sinda, and destroy at once the influence of the Russian Court over the Indian Chiefs. The advices state that the occupation of the Joudpore territory would destroy the hopes of Russia of any future invasion. The determination of the Indian Government to make this movement against Joudpore was rendered the more necessary in consequence of accounts having been received from Persia and the East of Europe, that the Emperor of RUSSIA was preparing an arma- ment, the object of which was, as is stated, to invade the dominions of the SHAH of Persia. The movement against the Rajah of Joudpore had been resolved upon in consequence of his having givenrefuge to the ex- Rajah of Nagpore, and having refused to give him and other dangerous persons up to the Indian Government. The Governor- General had resolved not to let the opportunity pass to obtain the free navigation of the Indus. He was about to proceed to the upper pro vinces to conduct the arrrangements. Two squadrons of the 11th Dragoons, the 10th Light Cavalry, some native regiments, and a large park of Artillery and battering guns were on their way to Joudpore at the date of the present advices. The Dublin Mail says:— That the Catholic Relief Bill should have all fair play— and that the Roman Catholics should enjoy all the privileges it conveys—' urn bene se gesserit— is a maxim which, as we were amongst the first to assert, so we shall be amongst the last to negative. But that they should either usurp, or be suffered to enjoy privileges, against the arogation of which the Bill contains express enactments, is more than our compact— and it must not be tolerated. One provision of the Bill is, that no Roman Catholic Bishop or Priest should assume the legal titles or perogatives of the Prelates or Clergy of the Established Church. We copy the following from the Freeman of this morning:— " After completing the business of the national synod, the venerable Prelates have returned to their respective dioceses. On Tuesday the Right Rev. Bishops of Galway and Clonfert proceeded to the College at Maynooth, on their way to" Galway and Loughrea ; and yesterday the Archbishop of TUAM and the Very Rev. the Vicar Capitular of Killala, left town for the splendid seat of M. D. BELLEW, Esq., Mount- bellew, county Galway, on their route to Tuam." . Now, whether the assumption of this style and dignity be a formal usurpation— or merely the effect of a weak- minded vanity, it is equally injurious to the rights of the Established Church ; and forms a very proper subject for the immediate interference of the Executive. Another provision of the Bill was intended to provide against the increase of tlje Jesuit societies and other religious orders of the Morning Register of to- day contains the following announcement:— " THE CISTERCIAN ORDER IN IRELAND.— The Pope's Bulls have been received, appointing the Very Rev. Mr. RYAN, the present Prior of this order, a Mitred Abbot. We understand that the con- serration will take place on the 21st of March, in the Cathedral of JVaterford! Principally by the exertions of Mr. RYAN, the mem- bers of this community obtained an asylum on the estate of the. benevolent Sir RICHARD KEAXE, near Cappoquin, county of Water- ford, where they have been afforded an opportunity of resuming their labours for the benefit and improvement of their fellow- creatures." H ere are two flagrant instances of the total disregard in whick Romanists hold both their own engagements and the law of the land in an heretical State. Two- thirds of the city of Adrianople were on the 24th ult. destroyed by fire. The portion of the town inhabited by the Greeks is now a heap of ashes. The khans, where merchants store their goods, have become also a prey to the flames. The value of English manufac- tures in one of these establishments is said to have amounted to two millions of piastres. On Thursday the House of Commons issued the following orders respecting private Bills .-— That no petitions for private Bills be re- ceived after the 13th day of March next; that no private Bill be read the first time after Monday, April 13; and that the House will not receive any report of such private Bill after Monday, June 22. On Tuesday there were 49 notices of motions placed on the Com- mons' books; on Wednesday, 29— making together in two days only seventy- eight, a number of themselves sufficient to occupy no incon- siderable portion of the Session. The Recordership of Leicester, vacant by the resignation of Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN, has been conferred upon JOHN H ILDYARD, Esq. The Manchester Chronicle says—" We hear that a meeting is im- mediately about to be convened for the purpose of agreeing to an Address to the Prime Minister, calling upon him to continue at his post, and not to abandon the country to the domination of a faction. The last information from Calcutta states that an official notice had been issued for receiving tenders, addressed to the Board of Trade, for the purchase of the East India Company's silk factories. The Company's cotton and saltpetre factories were announced for public sale at Cawnpore and Patna for the 1st September last. The death of FRANCIS HOLYOAKE Esq. of Tettenhall, puts his Son, Sir FRANCIS LYTTLETON HOLYOAKE GOODRICKE, Bart., in possession of estates in the counties of Warwick, Oxford, and Stafford, of up- wards of 7,0001. a year in addition to the immense estates in York- shire, Norfolk, Middlesex, and Ireland, bequeathed to him by his friend, the late Sir HARRY GOODRICKE. The Cambridge Chronicle, in its Huntingdon intelligence, has the following:— A PAIR OF DESTRUCTIVES.— A lawyer from London, who is one of the agents to a firm at. St. Ives, made the following declaration to a Conservative on the Market hill, on Saturday last: " It will not be long," said he, pointing to All Saints' Church, " before that building will be pulled down, and all the other Churches in the kingdom, and the stones will go to repair the roads." This feeling has long been, entertained by some Dissenters ; but a worthy and consistent man at St. Neots, ( as he calls himself,) goes a little farther in his maledic- tion, and says, " It is his daily prayer to the Almighty that, he may- see these fabrics in flames and the Bishops and Parsons in the midst of them."

The LORD CHANCELLOR has jjust bestowed a living of considerable value, the Vicarage of Bredheld, in Suffolk, on the Rev. GEORGE CRABBE, the eldest son and biographer of the deceased poet. This intelligent gentleman had hitherto been without any preferment except a poor Curacy in the neighbourhood of Bristol. As Mr. CRABBE'S character is said to be excellent in all respects, we are extremely happy to see his father's genius honoured in his person. This appointment reflects the greater credit on the LORD CHANCEL- LOR, as he lias no personal knowledge of Mr. CRABBE, and has bestowed it without solicitation and without reference to political connexion, on the ground of the respectable and meritorious charac- ter of the individual benefited.— Times. At the tithe- audit of the Rev. ARCHIBALD ALISON, held at Wel- lington, Salop, an abatement of 30 per cent, was made to all those who came prepared to pay the amount due on their respective- compositions. At the Convocation of the Clergy held at St. Paul's on Friday se'nnight ( an account of which we were unavoidably compelled to omit last week), the Dean of CHICHESTER, the Procurator of the last Convocation, was again unanimously elected to that office.

DAY EVENING. During the week the Consol Market has, as might be expected, been very considerably agitated; but the firmness ' displayed by the Ministry, and the evident determination of the Conservative Cabi- net not to abandon the country to the designs of the factious, has tended to restore a considerable degree of steadiness to the Money Market. The reply of his Majesty to the Commons has also had its effect, and Consols " for Account closed this afternoon at 91X buyers. Exchequer Bills are at 34 to 36, and India Bonds 18 to 20, both with a firm Market. The Settlement, both of the English and Foreign Markets, has taken place during the week, and passed over without any defalcation. In the Foreign Securities the tendency is decidedly upward. Chi- lian Bonds are 44 X to 45iC i Columbian are 3" M 38; Dutch Five per Cents are at 1023( 103; and Mexican 42Jf.

The latest news from Paris possesses but little interest, with the exception of the resigna- tion of Marshal Mortier, the President of the Council and Minister at War. The King had sent for Marshal Soult, who is at St. Amand in the Tain, desiring his immediate attendance to re- construct the Cabinet. It was believed he could not be in Paris in less than eight days. The King also sent despatches to General Sebastiani, Am- bassador to the Court of London, to return to Paris forthwith. His Excellency left town in consequence on Wednesday evening for Paris. There is no intelligence of the least interest from the North ofSpain. HOUSE OF COMMONS.— SATIT B DA V. The House met this morning for the purpose of proceeding to St. James's Palace, to present to his Majesty the amended Address. The attendance of Members was much greater than on any former similar occasion. At half- past one o'clock the Speaker took the chair. The Address was then read.— Sir G. CLERK » ave notice that lie should on Monday next move that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider asupplv to be granted to his Majesty.— Shortly before two o'clock the SPEAKER left the chair, and the House adjourned. The Archbishop of Canterbury has been prevented from taking the oaths and his seat in Parliament by a domestic affliction, the demise of his daughter, Lady Beaumont, wife of Sir George Howland Beaumont, Bart., to whom her Ladyship was united in 1825, and by whom she has left an infant family. Lady Beaumont died at Hyeres, in the south of France, where she was staying for the im- provement of her health. Not long since the Prima te had the afflic- tion to lose his only son, a promising youth, at the University. Thursday evening, the electors of West Kent residing in Dartford and its vicinity gave a public dinner to Sir W. Powlett Geary, Bart., in celebration of his return to Parliament. About 150 sat down to < dinner. Sir Percival Hart Dyke, Bart., presided, and was surrounded by nearly the whole of the nobility and gentry residing in the county. Friday a public meeting of the Members of the Agricultural Asso- ciation of West Kent, comprising most of the largest landowners in Kent, was held at the Rose and Crown Hotel, at Seven Oaks, at which it was agreed to present petitions to Parliament for some speedy and efficient relief being granted to the agriculturists. The 9/ th festival of the Royal Society of Musicians will be cele- brated on the 13th inst. Lord Burghersh will preside, and we under- stand that the festival will be on a scale of musical grandeur exceeding anything of the kind ever before attempted. Moscheles performs an > extemporaneous fantasia, and amongst the vocal compositions will be two madrigals and several fine glees, by professors of the first emi- nence. Knyvett, Horsley, and Sir G. Smart will alternately preside at the pianoforte. On Tuesday night the residence of the Dowager Lady Brownlow, in Hill- street, Berkeley- square, was robbed of several cases of jewels of very considerable value, including a diamond aigrette, several pearl and other necklaces, bracelets, rings, and a great variety of other articles of rich workmanship, and almost every description of precious stones; also a gold watch and chain, several other gold chains, and a blue leather writing- case, containing letters and me- morandums belonging to her Ladyship. A dreadful fire broke out at Peterborough on Monday morning about ten o'clock, which destroyed between sixty and seventy houses. The property burnt is estimated at 10,0001., of which only 2,0001. is insured. It was dreadful to hear the cries and lamenta- tions of the poor people, many, indeed nearly all, of whom, have lost their all, and had even a difficulty of escaping with their lives. This dreadful catastrophe orginated from a syark falling from the • chimney of a thatched cottage, and the wind blowing a tremendous gale from the west, the conflagration soon assmed a frightful ap- pearance : 300 individuals are deprived of a home.
