the lime, Niles-lain the rinalleal doubt of the legality of the advice which they had tendered to his Majesty. If, as the Nobk Leed.argeed, the Act of Uoiformity rendered it ion. pesatire to insert the name of the Queen, it was.equally imperative to insert alt the Royal Progeny; but in point of fact, them were numberless instances in which the Royal Progeny bad not been inserted. There was in the Act no word which separated her Majesty from the Royal Priiiieny„ so that the practice and the Act of Uniformity exhibited no variance. But considering it as • question of discretion, the whole of the cirenenetaeces most be hided at ; sod here the King and Queen had foe a length of time been living in a states! seperatioe, a separation acknowledged by an Act of Partitionist. " It must also be recollected," said the RI. Hon. Gest." that our intention sad desire was, that as arraagement shook, be made for her Majesty 'e coo i•ned resident, abroad, and ceasing to hear the style and title of Qiicen, and that the. we had meat to expect the proposition would have been acceded to." The RI. Hon. Member, in continuation, said, that had that arraegeasent been completed it would have been as abourdity to have advised her Majesty's same to be placed to the Liturgy. Bring ultimately obliged to tiring the matter before Parliament, it would have been rather estraorditsary if they had began by advising his Majesty to confer the h o nour of insertieg her Majesty's name la the Liturgy. Had the Act been imperative it would soiliinbtedly have relieved them from their dialcult ire, became, it would then have been a mere ministerial act, suvolving ins eosteequeoces whatever. But as as net of discretion, and having in their pow., the (cease of making tont change, ha was not called upon to justify she whole of their coorlect ; opportunities would occur fur an examination into every pert of it; but he would repeal, that having cient messes to reader that charge advisable, the alinieteredl4 not think it right to confer on the Quits that mask of Ws' lunar and respect which insetting her name in the Liters" world eudesbleilly have been.

But it seems t h ey had in sulted the Queen, betrayed sloe King, and brought the' svitien to the very eve of • rebellion; and after all that what was the Noble Lord's motion ?—(Hear, Lear, hear.) — If they were guilty of all those irises (fur crimes they were), they deserved much more Than the nsitigatrd cen sures of she Noble Lord's motion.

It was true, some other and aller measure wag hinted at by She Noble Lord.

Tie Petitions, on which so mock stress had bees laid, nil prayed for the restoration of her Majesty's same t• t►e Liturgy; and that object wss to be effected by an Address to the King.

He (Mr. Hubhusee) was no lawyer, but be would take upon himself lofty, that the owes pa ban& lay nu the Ministers to prove that in erasing the Queen's name from the Liturgy they have sot been violating the law.—(Hear, A ar, front She .9fiefsfertaf side.)—His rmeue for saying so, was that from 15t6 to the present time, pie Moaner uccssrred of a Queen Consort whose name was omitted under similar cirearnotames; owe exireptine might he said to he the ease of the Queen of George 1., but in that instance she was sever reeogeised as Princess of Wales or Queen of Paglasid, having been ',prated before the Accession of George 1. The Hon. Member Ikea argued, that these Learned persona, Sir Matthew Hale and lard Clareadou, who drew sip the Act of Uniformity, could never have imagined Ord change and 'her" would embrace the word omit. The Rt. Hon.

After the Act of Uniformity, all the Queen Consort's mimes were inserted in the Liturgy, and preyed for, escept the Queen Consort of George the First —He, therefore, was at • loss to know bow the anti radical Ad. asioisiration could have dared to have dune away with that ',Web had remained the law of usage fur three centuries, and what did the rights of the highest Personage iv the land depeed on if it was nut the law of usage?—(flear, ) Wes it for the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) soil his Colleagues the anti-radical Administration, whit dreaded the won, Rehm, to deprive their Queen of her rights, which were bets by usage ?—'Near, hear,, from the Opposition Hendee') —He liked to be consigoeut —(Loud cheering from the Mi. wisteria, peaches.)—This mitt-radical Adminisoratiou, who dreaded the manse of Reform, and at the same time changed the cooslitution as they liked, he thanked them for their cheers, and the wearing of them ; hut, thank God! his voice was free, and his vote, and wh s they violated the rights of the Glee', by the fatal Order is Council of the 35th of February, he was determined to oppose every mem. sure that was brought against her. He anderstood that ~of the arguments of those who opposed the motion were built on tire n see of the Consort of George I. being entitled in the Liturgy; be would tell ibetto, that when George I. was called to the throne, h.s wife had been bastikd in Hanover for eight years, and when she breathed her lint breath she had been fifteen years Imprisoned; besides, George I. bad been divorced from tier, and she was • ;semis as safely iinprisunad as another person at St. Helena, whose name it was net Necessary to mention ; but, if she had come to this country, George I. would have the right to produce the divorce, and ask fur a Bill to cut& en it. But George I. had 81.0 what is called • left•hatled marriage in Germany, which be understood retitled the Lady married to partake of the personal properly of her husband, but nut of his dig nities. Thu would any man say Shoot this rag of • precedent was sufficient for the Privy Collura to moil the name of the present Queen Couto, in the Liturgy ? He had put the question to the most expo, rienced Clergymen, and they agreed that the teat of the statute of Uniformity had too ambiguity. When he looked at the Act and the Monarchical Administration, he twofold ask them, of steels an humble individual might have that pre. gumption, under what authority they entered the name of the Queen to be struck out of the Liturgy; and whether the same authority gave them the power to unite the moue of the King to be left out of it, also was the Head of the Church, gad obliged to be • member of it ? lie contended they had no mote right in one case than in the other. There was ft prayer for the Privy Council and the Paella metal; and would the Monarchical Administration contend they hail the authority to strike them out If they had not, they bail nut the authority to omit the mime of the Queen, for her rights depended on no men. If there was such an authority is Ilse 'reveals trf the Crown, • popular Parliament might be omitted and au unpopular one kept in. There sever had been a tribunal in this country, with the exception of the Star Chamber, who had ever attempted to use the power that the Privy Cowinl of the Monarchical and Anti- Radical Administration, had to degrade the Queen Consort without • trial or a hearing. If the principle laid dowel by them was acceded to, as it bore on the Queen, sloe might he dethroned by the saes suihorily—(Hear, hear)—and any gores that was unpopular at Court might he degraded by a Privy Comet il. He well knew there were factious at Court as elsewhere, fur those who were uuw the opponents of her Majesty had been her greatest advocates. A more miscbiev. our principle could nut be laid down than an attempt to degrade the Queen, as it must bring degradation on the King, sad they were tope g n door by which the dignity of the Crown might be invaded.—(ifenr, hear.)—The Order la Council was * gross act of illegality and injustice—it was dethroning the Queen iu the face of Europe, snot esehierlag her in the eyes of the Church.—kHeur. hear, hear.)--The Honourable and Learned Geeilentan then alluded to the threatening letter which was seat to her Majesty at St. Omer., fur the purpose of pre. veal Mg her from returning to this country and entering on her &from written by • Noble Earl at the head of the Anti•Radiral Administration, " Put your foot on British ground, if you dare, and you are ruined " She, however, did come, and it proved that a British Minister may vary the Constitut on, but that he cauntit vary British integrity and spirit, by which her %Neill was rescued from the machinations against her. The Hun. and Learned Gentlensaa articled. ol by saying, that he fully agreed is ith the motion of the Noble Lord, and sat down amidst loud and repeated cheers. Dr. DoDstre it was not his intention In follow his Hon. and Learned Friewl in nil 'lie eit.. trainman salter he had entered into. He contended, that the book of Common Prayer combated from the Crown, which gave the Sovereign i or his advisers, power to make what stterai toot in it, from tine to time that they thought proper. Ilia Hon. mid Learned Friend, and the Noble Lord who brought this question before the House, mainly relied uti the clause In the Act of Uniformity, which enacted, that " in all thane collect., prayers, &c. where Ihe ileums of the Royal Family were married, such alteration should be made from time 10 time as circumstances may require;" and they said, that were it tint fur that clause, it would soot he in the power of the King to make any alteration whatever. Bet how did the rase stand before the passing of that Art ? Alieratieiin had frequently been mode before, which must necessarily have hero mole by virtue of some authority independ. sit of that clause. Again, they said the donee re ferred to the 'newton of the name only, and there was too authority in the King to make nosy other alteration. But what was the find act of the reign of the late King? Did nut be strike out the name of the Doke vf Cumberland ?—(Hear.) His Learned Friend hail expressed great alarm upon the subject. Ile saki, if the name of the Queen could be left out, there was no knowina to what consequences it might lead ; the name. of that King might hereafter be left out oleo. But he could assure Ina leterned Friend that his alarm was gr.ounelless ; •nd he believed his Learned Friend wouhl himself no koowle.lge that there was hut little danger of such as.

It was, thercUre, that he should not role for the adjournment. If the Gentlemen on the opposite aide of the House only sought to soothe the feelings of the Quern, and slot to triumph over the King, why did they uot con trive mime memoire which would answer that purpose? I Why, fur instance, did they nut bring in a Roll to react that in all time to come the came of the germ f.r the time be. ing, commencing with her present Majesty, should be its. word to the Liturgy That would have the effect of ' satisfying urns parry without iustiltiug the other. But tiny did net do this; sail he would tell them why they did mut— was h esa ,,, e it %/wild this hare the effect of dishonouring , the King.—( Loud and long-continued crier of " Order!") The SPEAKER slid, the Hun.

To answer a legal argismeut by appeals to the penultsl feelings of any body of mess in that House, gave the strougist reason to suppose that the legal arsenate,t could out he met. —Wear, .front the Attorney. G I.)—As it seemed to be the intention of the Learn. d Gentleman opposite to meet the argument, he would furnish him with oar more subject for the exercise of his ingenuity in ansiserorg it. In the Act of Uutformity parsed by the Irish Parliament, two years &fur the Act passed in this country, there was a clause which ran thus:—" In all prayers, Will" and collects in the Common Prayer, win-Tejo locution is made of the King, Qletli, Royal Family, Lord Lieutenaut, or any other of the lawful artlsorities of the kisigdom, the haws meal titles shall Ame altered toil changed from thus to time, as tiremostsoces may require." These words were a phis comment, which served to explain the iutent and ineaniug of that poet of the Act, and being it appeared to him to be impossible to contend that lily authority ass thereby vireo to trace out may of the par ties so mentiowed, or to make ally alteration but that of the names. With respect to the proposal 0: bringing in • new Act to the subject, it was fur those to do so who thought that the law as it now stood was onconehasive ton the subject. The ATTOSN ET-6EN ERA I. tieing loudly mid repeatedly called eau, arose. and wan received wiof l loud and general cheering. Ile said, if the law was so clearly mcontrusertible is this case as the Huu. Baronet whir had just sat down, and his Hun. and Learned Friend the Member fur Oxford, who bad tisplayed ao notich tug and ability in the discussion of this evening—(Near, hear, hear)—cutaleneted, he begged to ask the Noble Lord suit the Hun. Harouet, how it was that, if they were so con vincid of the illegality of the order by which the gorea's mama had bred left oat or the Littirgy, twelve months after wards they brought forward a minim, to do whet ?—to de clare it illegal ? No! hut to declare that it was unwise and inexpediewt !—(Leeidekeerrfruffs the illintslerial ;leeches ) He would ask Imo how it was that they had allowed slits question to slumber so long —(Ltoitd cheess)—How was it that the Noble Lord had nut done that which in his enu merate he (the Miumey Geacral) believed he meant to hare dome ?—(Henr.)—The Noble Lord said, that his nicotine was the same as that which he had moved last &Gabon, as as seneudonest to the saulioni of the Honourable Member fur Br:rasher. He believed that the Noble Lord originally in tended that it should tor en, but that he had altered hi+ in tentiou in conaequente of the speech of the Hors. Alderman (Heygate) under the gallery, on s former eveoing.---(Hear) He wished that the Noble Lord had manfully come forward with the sense propnsitiou as he had made on the former toecusiou, as then the question of the legality of the pro ceeding would have hero fairly brought under discussion, in considering whether it would be proper for that House to iuterfere for the purpose of forcing the insertion of her Majesty's name to the Litargy.—(eiteers.)—Bot as he had raid before, by the court* which they had now adopted, Vol dearly admitted the legality of whit had been doue.—(New, bear, &Mr s froat the Opposition side.) —Let nut the Gentlemen who uttered that cheer deceive themselves into the idea that he wished to avoid that part of the question; for it was his ittientiou shortly to argue it, feeling convinced himself, anJ trusting he should be able to show to the sati•fairtion of the House, that it was perfectly legal. Bat he had thought it neetsaary to offer these preLi uninary observations fur the purpose of drawing the attention of the House to she precise character of the motion. Why should they be called spun iodises's' the expediency or wis dom of an act if it were illegal? 'fan act were out legal, however wise or expedient it might be, it could not be at all justified. His Leased Friend, the Member fur Oxford, bad first of all endeavoured to prove the right of the Queen to have her name inserted is the Liturgy, by the Act of Ussifotusity; but not feeling satisfied wish the case as grounded upon that Act, be afterwards said, if the Act did not prove the right, the constant practice and usage of three hundred years did prove it.--[Sume expressions of dissent from Mr. Wetherell.]—He was in the judgment of the House whether his Learned Fri. ad did mit at first set nut with an attempt to prove the right from the Act of Uniformity, and then appeal to the consist*t usage in support of the elaim.—(flear, Aster.)—His Learned Friend admitted that before the Act of Uutfoirnity the power was exercised by the King. He would find that Henry VIII. altered the whole form of the Liturgy. Rona the time of Edward VI. down to the passing of the Act of Uniformity, there was no law for making the alteration of the names ; so that, if that were law which his l.rarned Friend led laid down, we should now have in the Liturgy a prayer fur Edward VI. there being no power by law to alter it, If the Act did not authorise the King to erase or leave unt, as well as to alter the names, we should not now have the power to pray fur the Royal Fa. Emily at all.—(Cheerefrom the Opposition.)—He understood the cheers, but if his Learned Friend had produced the for. snit's appended' to the Art, it would have been immediately seen that the ease was as he bad staled it. In the form of prayer annexed to the Act of Uniformity, Wasik' were It ft which were afterwards filled up by the King. If she Crown had not the power so ill tip those blanks, they were not filled np by the Act itself, nod must have remained to the present day. The argument on the other side was, that the name could not be omitted ; but let them take the instance of Frederick, Prince of 'sales, the father of his late Majesty, who fur a long lime was prayed fur, bat his name was afterwards left out. His Leaner.' Friend hail ex pressed some degree of surprise st his taking a note of hie 'eying, that from the year 1546 down to she present time, there was no in .tenee of a Queen bring omitted. The rea- Pull of his taking that note was, that he might metre, the statement of ins Learned Friend, by reminding him, that in the reign of Philip and Mary, although Mary was the Queen Regnant, the King only was prayed fur, the words lid big. pro rrge et principibms aoslris, and no mention at all made of the Queen. So far from the uniform ;novice relied nu by his !Awned Friend, repeated instances hod oceurted of deviations (coin it. The usage was all in luvuor of the construction which. he pat upon the Act. He wunitt ask what enactment it was that gate a Queen Consort the privilege of having her name inserted? Hie Learned Friend tubed upon the clause which Kest eyed the power of the Ktug to slur the alarms fruits time in time; but he should have spews, that at the time of passing the Act any prayer fur the Queen exist, d. The form effixed to the Act was black ; and it appeared perfectly clear, that when the Act was coahl.lered with reference to the form of prayer annexed to it, it was meant to give to the Crown she power of :Wing and in•erting, otherwise it never could have Is-en filled up. If by that Act the power to Lave oat the mantes was and dear, what haul 'Kew the usage Do that point? Frequently they had been left out. Witco his late Mejesty ascended the throne, . . . he struck uut lbc name of the Duke of Cumberland. Hu •ilvuirrs did soul think thAt an immure exercise of power. 1 All that had In en dune by the King in Com col in the pre sent case um, in order to relieve penning hunt the pelialtii•s 1 they amulet incur by leasing out the Prince awl Princess of • Walca without a specific order, •uthocisine thrill au to rip s Iwhile there was kW iutsger a Prince ur Princess of Wale, existence, an twilir hail been issued authuriaing the umissious, and thereby leaviae the prayers exactly as they aloud after the late King ascended the Throat. But would it be said that the. order was illegal, because it did sot di- -..A1L.1n - reel lhe Ring and Quern to be prayed fur? Sorb a direr. flog was altogether unnecessary, the King's name being the same ft that of his predecessor, mid the Queen below in. eluded as our of the Rasiral Family. It hail been said that she case of the Queen of Gene gp A. did 0..1 apply, because it was amid that be had been divorced from her lit Ger nosily, and 1 • left bawd marriage lead been mentioned as proof of the fart. Both the divorce and marriage alluded to were 'neve ; Suited 'by Aix, and in the viers Saone peg', if his Learned 1 Friend had ow a bilk further, he would hive found that her death hallwea guested, as that of the Doehesi of Zell, (sere Slasher from Lehind whispered Ilse Learned Gent ), r . assert Is. Of. the Dowager Electiess of Hammer, • title which she had no .ight hut as the wife of George I.; and it was therefore evident that not even is Germany was she leaked upon as divorced. There was, Is fart, nothing shewu to induce a belief that tire divorce was cusisidaved as effee. fuel. If, therefore, the law were imperative tie the sneer. Don of the Queen's name, as his Learned Friend Innis.. tuned it was, whatever the feelings of George the First towards his wife Sophia might have beesN his advisers ' , humid have told hint, that, sersevikerg to the law of • Englaad, it was • right annexed to the rank .4 Queen to have her Name insetted in the Lila/gel sv they would have acted as illegally sod isuraiostilutionally as those who hail advised his present Majesty were NOW charged with having done. His Learned Friend had said, hs language which he was serptised sh.sld have maw from buy lawyer, that the Queen eves as mat* eolith - II to the al legiance of the people of England as the King himself.— (elect, bear )—He had always understood, bet perhaps he was mistaken, sod kis Learned Freer.' could inform him better, chid the Queen was herself but • subject.— It was the Ant time that he had heard stock language owed in that House. He bad, indeed, with indignation, seen it stated in certain papers which were aircidated nut of doors, that in her answer to s o me addreases,the Queen had spoke's of the people of Euglaild as her subjects; Miler had he expected to hear (ruin on lawyer what he had that sight heard from his Learned Friend, that the Queen, who was herself but a subject, wag es marl. entitled to the •Ilegiance of the people as the King. He wow came to the question of the expediency of what had bees dare. If her Majesty had r. milord Prioress of Wale-, hit should tenet have advised the of her name. But when it became • aueetiou of ceut.nuing to lief, wader a new title, the same mark of respect as before, it was ergeasory to weigh the CIICIIIIMSI.IIIM. Ministers were in poseeasion of evidence,whetber legal ur nut was rut wow the gat lonia, which they conceived bore out • set tool charge &gams. her; was the House then prepared to say, that it was nal expedient for them to give the advice w kith tio•y hail given of nut inserting her name ?—(Load cheers from Ike Mheisherfol besehes)-1( the House was prepared to go into the gees. turn of expediency, it would he fur them to say, whether after all that had since appeare.l, after all the evidence which they had seen—(CAegrs ,front elf ports of the House) — They would decide that a case bad mut been proved, which reudered this advice expedient at the time when it was given. As had been clearly shown by the Ifuouuesible Member for Bramber, ann religious question was here involved, her Majesty being still preyed fur as one of the Royal Family. But the question was, whether the House was prepared to say, after all that had passed, that Ministers were nut justified is the advice they had given, and to address his Majesty, praying hiss to insert the Gairele• aline is the Liturgy.--The lluu. Gentleman sat doom amidst loud and general rherring. Mr. WETHERELL replanted. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH apologised for detisti- I int! the House at so late an hour. He professed hi• anxiety to adhere to the strict meatier at issoe, namely, the legality or illegality of the eubject in dispute. He tursiogly eheracterised t►e measure of omitting her Majesty's name from the Liturgy, as one wholly unconstitutional sod ewe justifiable. He was almost ashamed to detain the House at all, after the able, convincing, and unanswerable arguments of his Hou.aad Learned Friend, the Member for Oxford.— He ridiculed the taunt of the Right Hun. President of the Board of Trade,as•pplied to his Hoe. Friends, for not haw. leg agitated this subject before, and inquired, where were they who made this taunt, fruits the month of June, and subseqeseatly to the close of the year, to answer it ? It was well known that at that period the safnetimate proceedings agsiest the Queen were instructed. The public mediae was immediately absorbed, and continued to be so said the fate of the Bill of Pains and Penalties was determined ; after which the Howse of Commons was cut off by those very Ministers who made that taunt, from any opportenaty of expressing any one opiuiou upon the conduct pursued Inwards her Majesty. But another argument urged against his Hoe. Fries& was one of a must unparalleled nature: they had been charged with having iatiliNied a motion loot sufficiently direct, imperative, aid vehement, as it rests cud their behaviour to the Crown in the Address proposed to he carried up to his Majesty. Against even Orders to Council, provided they were Out consonant with the spirit of the Coustitotioo and the precepts of justice, it was the duly of that House to remonstrate with firmness. But beyond that be had always understood that the terms and reinener of conveying such rezoonstreacea were to be as decor... and free from coarseness or vehemence as possible. Another strange argument which had hero used by the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman who spoke last was, that his Hon. Friends having corbeled their expression's to the terms" un advised and ioexpedieut" (as it respected the omission of the name from the Liturgy), they had thereby admitted the legality of the measure. He contrasted this bar of argil. went, so ineffectually 'defensive, with the conduct of the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) before the institution of the trial, who had staked his official existence on the legality as well as on the propriety of the object. %%I te ms. now , i ns t ea d of advancing so far in their pretension', Ministers con fined themselves to their personal justification. They cried out against the conviction which awaited their conduct, and they, the perpetrators of the injustice, proposed themselves as the Judges, to decide the quest** as well as the measure of punishmeat. He contro►erted the argument of the At tourney General as to die case of the Duchess of Zell, consort of Geo. I. The Right Hon es sod Learned Geist. had concluded that because at her death she retained the title which from her parentage belonged to her, that there was proof of no di vorce having taken place. He stated the law ul the case to be otherwise in the States of Germany, and assumed that Geo. I. had obtained • separation a vincula usatriesonie. He avowed that he was ashamed of appesliug to tiw ease of one who had lived and died in prison, and whose care bad passed by altogether sub riteletio. This and the ap peal of the Hight Honourable and Learued Gentleman to the authority derived from the reign of Henry VIII. he coo. 'jarred all applicable, and no more so, than if the works of Homer or Virgil had been quoted for authorities. The 13th and 14th Geo. 11. contained terms which limited the pow. r °faltering the Liturgy. The Order in Council recited the Eitb section of the Act of Uniformity, and if be chose, strict argument, be might confine his antagonists :u the proofs which they could adduce of sopped front that very proviso which limited t►e power to alteriag mid changing the names. One of the remarkable arguments of the °the r side was, that previous to the reign of Charles 11. noise of the Acts contained say such proviso. Those of Ed. ward VI. and Elizabeth were quoted to prove this. It would be alone sufficient foe his purpose to leave it admitted Hist • power which hail been claimed and exercised before the enactment of Charles 11. had been confiued in its sub segment exercise by the term. of that Statute. Would it be •rgu. d that such • proviso made us difference in the existence of that power? lVeis it possible to artionie that Sir Mstlhrw Hale and Lord Clarendon, consider. log the geuiu• of the mew and the period in which they lived, had none but t►e most insignifirant mrsning in their minds? We►e they persons 111 haat to the turceerilateas rei to deft rmioe the application of the peeve ekes ? his sentence in the English laeopeage could be fumed lens esabigwous or less capable of being perverted. The terms were that such alteration or changes should be Made from time to time, as to the wanseaof the 'Hovland gores, or It.iyal progeny, as might be Ittiug to preaewt• ucegaisine. This could not be intended to apply to cases of delin quency, of which it weiald he sr...seism-to provide for the occurrence from time to time, and as toady 011idepuser, - Ise supposed it wunld sot be assumed lliartho SuveVelgia might alter t►e Belief or the Form of Prayer re biased in the churches in the some way that the Purr exedeiswit the right la the Catholic curammasion. He pointed out the case of Prince George of Denmark, Coition of Qom' Lune. There wm no Prot talon for inserting Ilse rare of the consort of o (kneels Regnant, though there was for the Royal pingeny. To thew how railigioeerly the Act had been olpierved. (terra Anne, who 'tempted the insertion of her I ',slimed*, name iu the Liturgy, whom yet she most affectionately esteemed, allowed the insertion of Hutt of the Triunes. whom her Majesty disliked and suspected; in privet t whose *accession the neetspi•d the chief part of the remainder of her life. The well cane be applied to was that is the reign Or Geo/TO 11. when one of the Prlisees was for time omitted Gaon the Liturgy; lint upon the discovery of the error and injomice committed. rep araivtit was iniimiliatt Iv mode. The Him. and Learned Gentleman haring 011il peat ingenuity examined the legal merits of the argument, nest applied himself to the question of policy and expedaisicy. The measure had beer &emitted by the Right lion President of the Board of Trade as an overture to a negociation—o very extraordinary comraemeramm certainly to begin on sue side with a mortal affront, tool n. rau.e it tube proclatftred, indirectly at least, from 40,000 pulpit. slim was an adoltress.

The HON. and Learned Gentleman concluded a long, I d , and very luminous speech, and sot duwu amidst the cheers of the whole House. The Souctroit-thia rata t. •poke at entisiderahle length. He entered into an elaborate argument on the Isar of the me. He contended, that as the law stood at present. and has Mosul since the Refuroistion, the Kane and ht. Conti_ eat had a right to omit ur insert what names they chose in the Liturgy. He pronounced a spl. udid paneorir on the present Government, and eutirlisded by stating that no man tumid vete fur the mutton without a direct insult to the Monarch and the monarchy.
