Mr. S. BOURNE said, he should not oppose the raotion• Alterations sf the law were required; but he did not think that thimdligno was well worded. He thought it ought not to be said, that to interfere with Irish Paupers was to t" them; and that to send them home was to " transport" them.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Motion agreed to. Mr. BENNETT presented a Petition from John Knight, late of Manchester, and now a prisoner in Lancaster gaol, complaining of various privations, amongst others, that lie was not allowed to read newspapers. Read, and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. WROTTESLEY moved for lenve to bring in a Bill to prevent the iiicouvenience arising from she publicity of the specifications of Litters Patent for new inventions. Mr. HUME deprecated the idea of that House legislating to prevent the diffusion of knowledge.—Motion agreed to. New Warr voa Dobbin. —Sir J. AP INTOSH moved that a new writ be issued for Dulsliu its the room of the Right Hon. H. Grattan. deceased. Having observed on the mo dern usage of pronouucing panegyrics on departed Members, be said he should do taastiee to his own feelings if lie were not to give some utterance to his own sentiments regarding that immortal man. When they spoke of departed men, they did it in the presence, as it were, of posterity ; and in speaking of Mr. Grattan, all would bear testimony to his qualities and excellences. Mr. G. was the only person also bad ever received a Parliamentary reward for any similar services. He had given fiber' vto his country, and • name to her amongst nation; he had secured the character of a brave, generous, mid eloquent people. He had dune what would secure to Imo the test y of that House, at once deep, sincere, and unanimous. He had lived till time had mellowed the circumstances in which he was engaged; and his history occupying half a century, and embracing a great portion of the events of that period, would fill a great space. It was also remarkable (hut Mr. Grattau bad attained the first claw of eloquence iii two Parliameuts, and in two countries, differing in their tastes and prej"; . ces. And he died too, in the progress to that House—its toe service of his country. He died while proceeding to that lloose—to vin dicate the Christian religion of his country, and to give that freedom to his nation of which the spirit bad gone forth at the Reformation. His genius was peculiar, and no one more highly possessed simplicity with loftiness and grandeur. His character was truly of the most transceudeut character. lie was lIIIZiOIt. to knit all hearts; to unite the two countries; and to remove for ever the stain of religious iutolerauce.— and it was to be hoped that the object of departed genius would be in some way promoted by the bowmen paid to his memory; for a more exemplary spirit had never gone to the Temple where the remains were to be deposited.—((;heers.) Lord CASTLEREAGH bore testimony to the greatness and superiority of Mr. Grattan 's character. Mr. BECHER, from the opposition side, read what had been the last opinions of Mr. Grattan. He wished the Catholic question to besettled, because he felt them entitled to the emancipation. If they failed, however, he warned them nett to join those who called fur Aunual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage, which would promote confusion, and be followed by anarchy or military Goverment. He also conjuredahe Catholics, whatever might take place, not to join in any disputes that might arise between branches of the Royal Family.--(Rear, hear.) Motion agreed to, and writ ordered to be issutd. The Mutiny Bill having been read a third time, Lord NUGENT proposed, as an amendment, a reduction of the army—that instead of 95,,86 men, the numbers be 77,224 men. Col.

ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. On Thursday the Sheriffs of London waited on her Majesty, to know when she would be pleased to receive the City Address of Congratulation, and her Majesty having fixed Friday at one o'clock, shortly slier twelve the Lord Mayor and Corporation left Guildhall in their carriages, to present the Address voted to her Majesty. Ilect.street and the Strand were crowded with people, anxious to prove their sympathy in the ceremony of congratulation ; but his 'Tory Lordship, determined to disappoint them by deviating from the accustomed rout, the proces sion went up Holborn. Among others we particu larly observed, by the enthusiasm with which they were received, Aldermen Wood and Waithman, and Messrs. l•avel and Williams, the mover and seconder of the Address. Her Majesty received the Deputa tion most graciously, and seemed at once deeply atfccted and much gratified by this testimony from the Metropolitan Corporation. The fidlowing was the Address, which was read by the Common Sergeant, the liccorder being (per haps politically) indisposed : " To the QuliliPCB Most Excellent Majesty. " The (Wilful and loyal Address of the Lord-11..y0r. Al dermen, and Commons of the city 01 London, in Common Conned assembled. " May it please your Majesty, We, his Majesty's ever•dutitill and loyal subjects, the Lord-Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Council assembled, approach yon Alajesty with sincere expressions of loyalty, attachment, and regard. " We condole with your Majesty on the various atnic. lions your Majesty has sustained, since your deviators., Irons this country, by the loss of so many illustrious per sonages of your Majesty's family, especially by the demise of our late beloved Sovereign, your Majesty's paternal guardian, whose countenance and support, under the trying cite ttttt stances, gave the best pledge to the Isailoss of pour Majesty's innocence, and the tit oleo pie. tectimi against all y o ur enemies; a n d also that you' :isolable owl !Ousts s dogs:lsles , the PI issues!. Chat lot Ilse lona hope of Bettello, whose 1111:11101) N 4 ill Ise ever 4i1:41 to an affectionate people. " Deeply attached to the Royal Family, and anxioll, for the p.esetvation of Ilse hillldiC tI'NIIIIIIIItIR, we feel ousel ives called upon to express oust tits nest hope that Ilse sluttervisees which Intim innately subsist may lir arranged in a manner holiosintltle to your ALsjesty, as %sell as to your Royal Consort, and satisfactory to the country ; and that, should au investigation of these differences bt still unhappily resorted to, recognizing the dignified firmness which your Majesty lies manifested, by the solemn protest you have entered against all secret investigations of your conduct. so tepngneitt to common justice, and to the feel legs of Englishmen, we tract such investigation will be conducted in an open and impartial manner, and ter minate in the complete vindication of your Majesty's honour. " We rely upon your Majesty's gracious acceptance of this Address, as • proof of the loyalty and affection of your faithful citizens of London, and of their attachment to the illustrious house of Brunswick, who, they trust, will long continue to sway the It. itish sceptre, and maintain the liberties and happiness of the people. To which her Majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious answer " 1 return you my heartfelt thanks fur this dutiful Ad dress, which is both loyal to the King and affectionate to " If any thing conld lessen the grief which I most still frel for the loss of those dear relations of whom I have been deprived since I left England, it would he the pi oors I now receive upon my semen. that their memo' tea are cherished es their virtues de d. " In the;eWt;;;ii;iow - I;irhl am exposed, my first duty is to vindicate myself, ■ad my next wish is, to see nothing attempted that may hint the feelings of others. " But in all the troubles through which I have passed, the generous attachment of the English people has been my safe-guard against the King's enemies and my own t and he well assured, that no time can ever weaken the grateful impression of such obligations." The Corporation, walking two and two, headed by the Lord Mayor, then walked in procession past her Majesty, and each Member had the honour of kissing 'her Majesty's hand. The room being so small, a great many of the Members were obliged to stand on the landing place and stairs, and entered iu their turns. About two o'clock, the ceremony having con cluded, the order was given for the City carriages to draw up to the doer. Meanwhile the Queen was seen from the street, conversing with Messrs. Wood, Waithman, Feta, and several other Members, and her Majesty was observed to bestow marks of attention upon all the company, with her usual grace and affability. While the carriages were drawing up, her Ma jesty, graciously listening to the repeated call., of the people, came to the window, and it is utterly impossible to describe the bursts of enthusiasm with which her appearance was hailed. Her Majesty, evidently affected, then stepped upon the balcony, and in an instant every man was uncovered, and every woman in the street and in the houses waved her handkerchief, all crying, " God bless the Queen —Long live our gracious Queen Caroline!" The most enthusiastic cheering continued incessantly for several minutes, during which her Majesty bowed all round to the crowd, and smiled; but her coun tenance betrayed considerable emotion. She then retired, but the people, as if existing only in her presence, called louder than ever " the Queen, the Queen !" and her Majesty seemed inclined to re turn again, upon which Alderman Wood snatched up a rug from the floor, and spreading it upon the balcony, handed the Qaeeu a second time to the view of the people. Her .Majesty remained bowing to the assembled multitude for more than five minutes, and smiled most benignantly to the ladies at the windows, who seemed almost beside themselves with joy. The scene upon the whole was truly interesting and impressive, and we may safely declare, that nothing at all to be compared to it has occurred in this country for many years. On Thursday last his Majesty held a Drawing. room at Buckingham-house. The Duchess of Glon. cester officiated as the Queen. It will not he ex. pected that our columns should be occupied by descriptions of the ladies' petticoats, but we cannot refrain from stating our opinion that a puAtpone ment of sack a pageantry at this moment wou►d only have been a proper deference to the manifest feeling of the English people on the subject of their Queen, whose popularity increases every day. Prince Leopold attended the Drawing-room, amt had an opportunity of being convinced that his popularity has been seriously shaken by his slight ut her Majesty since her return. He might have re membered that the estimation ut' our countrymen has been gained by no other means than by his having been a good husband to our lamented Prin cess, and that her Majesty had the prier :nut higher claim of having been her good, affectionate, and adored mother. The hisses of the respectable throng that filled the Park may perhaps assist his memory on this point, and cause him to endeavour to re-instate himself in their esteem by a humble apology to the outraged feelings of her Majesty. It is said that the travclEng commission and instructions, carried out by a certain di:graced Chancery Barrister, consisted st;ely and simply of the fidlowing pintatimi— " Be sure thou prove my \V at, a Whorv!"—tlT El. 1.0.
