Lord ERSKINIK raid, 14e had several Petitions to present teharve to she late proceedings against her Nlsjrat v. mid he could pledge himself to their Lordships that they were all worded in the most respectful and constitutional language, His Lordship then presented a Petition horn the lithabitiants of the Royal Burgh of Basin; in Scotland, praying that their Lordships would use all the tueens in their ',Diver to prevent any further proceedings being commenced against her Majesty, aid shit they should adopt such me..- Sures as they should think proper fur procuring the insertion of her Majesty's name is the Liturgy, and for the restoration of her Majesty to all brr rights ;rod privileges as Queen Cornett; which was read and 14id on the table. The Noble Lord then prevented the following Petitions to the some eller, from the lueorponneil Trades of the Borough of Dunif_ries ; front the LIM corponsteil Tootles of the Borough of selkirk ; (ions the Incorporated Triodes of the Town of GreettoCk ; end from the In h abitants of New Deer, in the County of Aberdeen—whirl' were ►evetolly read nod Laid 'on the 'stile.

He certainly considered Buevies a subject worthy of the consideratioo Of I'o'W:talent. The Earl of Livearoots said, hr rose for the purpose of setting the Noble Lid tight as to the .manner of the appoititing or high Stieriffe--there 00 • return made by the Jadlges oil oath of there petering it, each county, qualified to be appointed. and one from the three was chosen by the King in ' Council, without regard to the politic:ll opium** of uny of them. The right of the freeholders of the eouuty could not have been iujored by the flieb Sheriff refusing to call the meeting, as the gentle. men ref the county laid the power of calling one. The tall of Dime LET--" They have, but not in the open air." Es:lGßosmoß said. as their Lordshipse limo boil besot eolitti . l4 coricl4Cl of Htlo She. riff., he would istraie a errternistaeco that loarbawase to his own knowledge at a public meeting its the county of Chester. which was called by she Sheriff, for the purpo s e of what lets beet, desiourinaied el loyal address, and at that meeting he (the Noble Earl) moved all amendment. contaiiiiing similar ex rest/eons of loyalty King, ea Constitution, but expressing 4116041m0 et the conduct of his Majesty'a Minister., and on tit it occasion the She riff tusk osi hiuwelf to say that Ile amendment Was irrelevant to the purposes of the meeting; and although pressed on the subject, he refused to put it to the inceting, whether the amendment was or was not irrelevant, and rt tired to some house in the neighbourhood for the purpose of signing throe.- . gine, address, which *hewed the irregularity and einprepriety of the Sheriff's conduct. fie couvr dered the Ake of Sheriff' a ministerial one, and his biking on himself to decide that the amend meat was irrelevant, was a dereliction of Ina duty, and it was mom:trolls as well as absurd to leave it to • Sheriff to say what was Or was not relevant. It WAS a subject that certainly called for Parliamen tary inquiry. The Earl of DARNLEY said, that it hail been his intention to have made some observation* on that part of the prayer of the Petition for the re storalion of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy ; bait as that subject was under discuosem in the other branch of Parliament, he would terrain from it, except expressing In, hopes that she might be restored to all her ri g ht s as Queen Consort. The Petition was then reasi.and laid on the table. The Marquis of Leesouwe said, he held iii his hand a Petition which a Noble Duke and himself were appointed to present to the House; but as the Noble Doke (Somerset, we believe) was ab. pent, he considered it his duty to (weevil it. It was, a Petitiou agreed to et a public meeting le fatly convened by the Sheriff of the county of It was ci.liclied in terms of the greatest loyalty : it the same time the Petitioners expressed toeir abhorrent* of the peoceetlings against the Qaeta. ewf proyasl their I.o4l.hips to use Boris iiiflueuce to restore to her filajesiy her rights. The Noble Marquis Presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the Tows, of Devizes, ill the county of Willa, to the sonar effect. They were read, and ordered to be laid on the table. Earl GROSVENOR presented a Petition from err tails Itiluthitant* of the town of Perth, to the same effect ; which was read, suit laid out the !aide. Lord HOLLAND presented similar Petition from the Corporation of Nottitigliain, which lie after wards withdrew, 011 account of come clerical error. The Noble Lord then presented a similar Peti tion front the Churchwardens and lithabillaniv of the Parish of Si. Saviour's. Lord ELLEN BOROUGH said, that the Peti tions which had liters piesentril were founded in error, 101' her Majesty was slot deprived of her s i g ht. : for the moment the Bill cif Pains and Pe nalties ag 111151 her hail brio, thrown out, she was of course entitled to her rights. Lord Hot.t.esto said, there were many persons who thought that her Majeaty was deprivtd of her rights'. aid thought iliat .fir ought to be prayed for as the Queen Conso r t, th a t else ought to have a R o y a l Palace, and that Ow should have a grant front Perliament to eivehle her to support her oity- No soon could say, that she now h, l the rights which hod been enjoyed by other Quern Comports. The ofijict of she petitioners was, shut there rights shoold be reamed to her, and an ex tinguisher put fur ever sass the proceedings ugaitist her. Land FLILIKBOROUGH expleined. The Pension wastrised. end !lid on the table. Earl Clitatr imitated asimilar Petition from the Bakers' Corporation of the Borough . tif Pert lewhich he stated expreitied in very strong language the dis pleasure of the Petitioners at the conduct of his .Majesty's Ministers. The Noble Earl then pre sented einsilar Petitions from the Borough of Ding wall. in the Custody. or Boast from the Borough of Knighorie in the County of Fife; and from tee Ward of Bialsupogate-which were severally read and laid ou the table. The Earl of.o A am•RWON said , he'harl in present a Petition Inas the Nobleinete sod ' ()endemics. of the courtly erf ti eds. legally convened by the She riff of the coutritt • The prayer 4411 woe similar to the Niehaus that fwd hero-already presented, and it was sigued by some of the most respectable mid opulent WO it, the county. There was a circuits stance atieudiug the calling of the meeting which cousidered It his duty to advert to :—Tliore was is requisition, must respectably signed, presented to the Siterift, to call the meeting; on which there was a cuutiter-requoation gilt up. and signed through *mitieiterial influence, calling ou the She riff n o t to call the mretiug. ao the moms is of the county had been already expressed in a Wye! Ad dress to.lus Majesty. However, the 'meta% dot take place, awl a more respectable one never was held ; the Petition bore the signatures of between seven and eight thesusatiel pierce or. and contained the general scistiiiitats of the whole county. lie Could ant help reprultattog tire interfering of the cossoter-requisitiousais. and lie ,trusted that such another atteuspt *Held never he Made, me it citify trolled to put Prolisosent its opposition to the people ; sod if his Mejeat)'s Ministers did do so, they Iseult, bring on themselves what they most dreaded. the cry for Perliarnentary Reform. Mt• therefore trusted that Mitristers or their partisans would avoid the repetition tif conduct which could *oily be the metros of seuarritiug the people from the Par'istneut. The Duke of W ELLIN ecroo said, he merely rose to stile why lie did not raga the cuutiter-requisition. Being a member of his Mejesty'd Privy Council. end Lord Lieutettat.t of the county of Hoots, he did nut thiak it *meld be proper in him to have done so; but there that did sign it were' permute who had signed so Arltlress to Iris Majesty, which lied too le.* than 9.000 tOraturea; sod he thought with them, as the sense of the comity had Nines!. it writ; not orcr.arry to:yriatotb the. greet Ilse county with the farce of a public meeting.— One of the inembrre for the county attended the meeting, said could leo olltain a heating. except under the protection of the Noble Earl (Car oat son). The Earl of CARWARVON said. if the Noble Duke did nut sign the Requisition, it bore the sig nature of she. Secretary of War ; the effeci of it was to say that county mertiegs were a farce; it was eituilar to the general c Net rifles Maiesty's Mi musters to try to throw into dnirepute public opinion. —( Hear. hear.)—The permits who signed the pre sent Petition would have sig,tied the other, and he would tell the Noble Duke they possessed as much genuine loyalty a. he dill. Hear, /rear.)—He wished to know how much of the constitution the Noble Duke was incurred to support; it did uot appear to be that part of it which gave the peo ple the right to meet to petition the Legislature. —( Hear, hear, hear. ) The boasted Address of the couniet-retiiiisitinniaits 553 got up by a kind of cir cular or pastoral letter twill brut to every clergy men in the county, calling on them to neglect their cleticel duties for the purpose of being made tools of for a pointer! purpose. The Under-Sheriff of the county said lie signed and sent the letters by the orders of the Secretary of the Pitt Club, and they were told that this was • more constoluteniel way of taking the seine of the couuty then by a public meeting legally convened. The Noble Duke was not coirect when he said that the Mem ber for the county was not heard at the meeting; he 5:15 heurd, except when there was that kind of disapprobation which sometimes arose in all assem blies, by the petrois speaking rosining sway from the subject they met to discuss. The Marquis. of LANSDOWN said, he agreed with every word which had tallest from his Noble Friend who had just sat down. When the Noble and gallant Duke stood forward as the advocate of the counter-requisition, lie must have furgut its emo ting's. for at did not state the want of necessity to Coil a county meeting again., end it caulk! Mat, as uoi formrr county meeting hod taken place.. But what lisd been the conduct of the counter-requisi tionists They kept their Address a secret from the petitiotters, and only eliewed it to those person. whom they knew would sign it; and thus secretly got up, it was sent forth as the sentiments of the county, instead of the sense of the county being hike° in the old constitutional way, at a public meeting in open day, and which right lie trusted would always continue a part of the constitution. It w a s o n ly a ye a r a go that what was now called a farce was the mode liken by the Lords Lieutenant of the counties to collect public optition on public uffairs, sod conveying thefts to the Legislature, lie was 'nippy that the mime of the gallant and Noble Duke was not to the counter-requisition. and he gave him full credit for the delicacy of his motives in not leaving signed it. The Duke of WEI.I.INUTON rose to explain. He said be del not !Orme to say that a county meeting had been called, but that the sentiments of the county had beets expressed in the petition to his Majesty. As to the word farm, he had not made use of it as to public meettisga forming a past of the constitution ; but when a public meeting took place, surrounded or attended by a mob, for the impose of circulating certain opinions, and any person not agreeing with those opinions not granted a bearing. except under the ieotection of some No. ble Lord, he could not help thinking that the sp pellatiou was properly applied. Lord HOLLAND said, he was to utsderstand that the Nobl e Duke did sign the secret Petition, and he was to take his opinion of the Constitutiou to be, that the Petition kept close was the constitutional our, end the one adopted in the way that was kllOO4l to the words and spirit of the constitution we. not. He would ask the Noble Duke how his Noble Friend was to have expressed his opi nion on the secret Petition, whets the doors were lucked against him to prevent him from seeing it? To Pay that it wait the proper mode of conveying the arose of the county was erroneous; su tar front it, it was • fraudulent proceeding. Ile had attended the public meetings at Oxford and at Bedford, and he could say, without the fear of contradiction, that every 11Wr3011 speaking fairly. and not entering on tapirs likely to give Avner, had a patient hearing. He would out apply the ward farce, which had been uttered by the lgable Duke. though in its want tease, as he wished it to • apPly to the best part of the Constitution. the pw puler rights of the people. It was N word rates used to argument. sad its the warmth of d e b a te; he was curry to say. lw Issd often heard the proceed ings of Parliasorist celled a force ; dad he boil tie doubt but it was used by the Nulsle Duke with. out con.idernig the iosportaiter which Was attached to it. when applied to the best part of the Cuing tution. Tire Earl of LIVERPOOL said he maid not re. train Irma offering • sew observations uts what had fallen front the Noble Lords nu she other sale at she Hume. Saes:ruse he thought shot she Noble . Duke had been misapprehended: ilis Noble Friend had stated that be did not menu to under value or to treat with cositempt any county meet iog regularly convened, and where all parser* could have a fair hearing. But what his Diable Friend bad meant when lie smoked the term alike had been so much remarked ou s ts county meeting., (whether correctly or 1101 was nut now the questiot.) was this, that if it were so contrived as that such meeting* were attended only bj a •nob, who iefueed to gie e a fair bearing to all patties, Cont such comity meetinge were a mere farce; mid he (Earl say, that if such meetings were se master d as that 4. mobwere brought in to carry all out way, thin they merited uo better title. But if county meetasses svereal . ,practice what they were iu theory, hr *hind not hO: ieclined to consider them at detective pants _sof the . toustitution, though he must allow that they miskie be liable to those defects which had hero useutipileal.'itad the mores° from the destat:oo from the auctient viatica of Insisting them ill the county bate, by which they hid become, not what they were inieeded to'be, meetings of freeholders, but of the moli. lie could not say whethei that was the case with the Hampshire county !riesling. With respect to the other branch of shit discussuni s the handing of the Addiess about for siguatiares, he did not kionw how it could well he otherwise. Would the Noble Lord say that all, or the gr.ater part of the persons who hail signed Iles Petition!, were present at the meeting at which It had !seen adopted? fie certainly thought that in estimating the value of a Petition, the number awl respecta bility of the signatures should be looked to; autl he agreed with the Noble Baron IC 10 the pro priety of bringing all parties together for the per pose of discussing the metita of any public ques il is but unless it were so done es to afford a fel.' hearing to all parties, he did taut think that such meetings were calculated to answer any good red, nor could he be brought to approve of them. Earl GREY said, he could not refrain from offer ing a few observations to their Lordships up what lied been said by the Noble Earl opposite He censinly did assure himself, that whatever d.ffer core of opinion might be entertained among their Lordships, as to the subject Matter of such Peti tions as came before them, he should tan hear ally reflections such as those which he had now heard no county meetings, particularly %lien he recol lected that last year, when the Acts which were (lieu passed were under discussion, the Noble Earl had urged as sii argument in their favour, that after the passing of those Bills, county meeting. would resume their proper character. After what had beeu this evening stated to their Lordships. .of the conduct of some Sherd(' at some meetings, in assuming to themselves the eight of refusing to pet the question on certain pro positions which were moved at those meetings, he did feel surprised that the Noble Earl should have emitted to remark upon that part of the question, when lie was observing upon the irregularity of the protredings at such oleeteoge. The Noble Duke said that Ise did not object to county moorings when regularly... Wed, properly attended, and where a fair hearing was given to the discussion of both Rides of the question. He could ask the Noble Duke. whether the meeting at which this Peti tion had beet, 'eloped, was not regularly cum welted by the proper authority I whether it was not attended by those persons who had a right to be present ? and he would ask their Lordships whether they would believe that a fair hearing was not given to all parties. after they lied heard the statement of his Noble Friend, that the county Member was heard and had wet with no interrup tion but such as naturally resulted Irom the im patience of all large assemblies, where a difference of opinion prevailed His Noble Friend who bad just left the House. had stated what occurred at the Cheshire meeting. He did not know if the Noble Duke would call that a farce of a county meeting ; but if the iiccount which he had heard of at were correct. lie (Earl Grey) had never known a meeting to which the term could so properly be applied. But they had an itistance of the kind nearer to their own dobrs, in the meeting which was held yesterday at the Mnosioti-hosise, of the Merchants and Bankers of the City of London ; where a large body of persons who had secretly agreed to, inal signed an Address to give a fula colouring to public opinion. met for the purpnac of biterrupting the regular bossiness of th e meeting. and committed all those acts of tumult and dis order, with which it was now attempted generally to reproach public meetings.
