Situated in the Olt of that famous region, the Burns' Creek range of gold depo iVilands unrivalled in the land of unlimited riches. Through the iZ,',ro of this estate, consisting of upwards of 2 , 000 acres , f rom south tol,".t:e north-west, a ridge of hills, the great basis of which is the ar,, bearing quartz rock, discloses to the observer at intervals, veins V i ell ore cropping out at the hill sides in manifest splendour. From !t il 'ea and banks of the clear stream called Burns' Meet. which taklinmer .unfailing and in winter unfrozen), flows .through the to at the base of these hills, it is known by miners of that locality iaearly a million and a half sterling of line gold has been tak en in t,',._last tyro years, and tbe placer gold diggings of that stream are as hir`loed to be but the washings of ages from the masses of gold-bear q_nartz above. To blast these rocks, to sink shafts, pursue the hori t4ined to be but the washings of ages from the masses of gold.bear tal veins, crush the rich ore by powerful steam engines, and ex and remit the gold is the great object of this Company. For lt b ,,,DurPoses the most improved machinery must be purchased, It t i -I nitted, and fixed; skilful miners, quarrymen, and engineers Tor' t t ged; stores furnished for their support, and dwellings erected t 4 heir habitation To command these things and success, large eapi hhand skilful direction is required, and in the formation of this Corn -114, those leading objects have will be attained. Situated in latitude tural u about 37 with the climate of Italy, and with the woods and pasture; abounding in cattle, deer, and other large game, S o es froth th e g old mines and quartz- crushing works. of the Noveau kZe Company, and between the Mercede and Mariposa Rivers, 10Z - Power has placed this splendid mining property within 6 weeks' 01i,,,eY of London, and (excepting only about 25 miles not yet railed, c oh 'ue Isthmus of Panama), railways and first-class mail steamers ibfeY the traveller and treasure with the safety, punctuality, and f o ijd of the iron train, between London, San Francisco, and Atock 1,,0n the San Joaquin river, whence a good road runs through this 'Le, 70 miles from Stockton, to the county town of Mariposa, 20 files distant. From the Burns' Creek, ore piece of pure gold was c 4 1 7 1, weighing 17 pounds, and was sold for 7501. This fact is t o „Iled by an eminent geologist, D. Charles F. Spieker, of New who, in his report of a survey, made in 1850, on the spot, " , ie , n s thus ' • t ve ‘ -the mos ' t important feature in the geology of.this district, how lit 1., Which gives it such great value for mining purposes, is the ex lE?4'ee here in the diorit formation of such an as!onishing number of s of quartz, for nowhere in the auriferous districts of California 'e I seen such quantities of quartz veins accumulated within an 111 1 % 1 of such comparatively small extent. Nearly every one of the N and ridges above described contains the outcropping of a quartz tk, ll _ Sometimes of very large dimensions." And again, "On my 1 4 ".nning them in reference to the proportion of gold they contained lo on lonarison with other veins which I 'had seen in California, I 1 11 Z 1 d them to be of the best and richest kind which had come under pi_ebservatien there. One of these veins was distinguished b y g reat tn tities of cellular quartz , which i n c lo se d a very large amount of nati ve gold ib small particles, presenting altogether some of the most o' , lfal and richest specimens of that kind of auriferous quartz 1 1d in - (See Report.) fk 4v erage specimens of the gold quartz .brought by the proprietor ,e 1 the veins transferred to this Company, have been submitted to Citing and assay at the Bank of England, and the great result is "'vil in the following BULLION OFFICE CERTIFICATES. tf :: I hereby certify that four lbs. troy of quartz rock, from the estate 4 1f red Clapp, Esq., in Mariposa .

At this ra te of y ield one .r 11 of the quartz rock would produce gold value 3,4001. and up lbarda ; but assuming that in stead of this result (viz., 11. Is. 3%d. per an average of only one shilling per p ound tro y was produced, as thi rty tons per day can be readily sep arated, crushed, and washed h‘ these mines, and the yield of gold would be, at that rate, 1361. per Vs, which multiplied by thirty gives 4,0801., as the result of each ZSY's working, being 24,48t1 . per week of six days, above 100,0001 . l 'lcalendar month would be the gross produce. tstimating, therefore, the average yield - of gold from these hills, n Cie ks. and placers. as only s ix p ence to the p ound weight of quartz, n income of 600,00 01 . per annum will be afforded —enough, after owing amply for all expenses, to repay the capital five times in ~,, Year's actual working. I .& late authentic paper (republished in the " Times " of September I,: t hi from HusseY and Co.'s Circular, of San Francisco, July 30th, 052) shows the gross product of Californian gold, from the official lotions, to be in the first six months, 1852, to the Ist July, 33,849,774 rhars, or about seven millions sterling, and this when the develop "tient o f the rock gold is but commencing. It is not the desire of the Directors upon such data to excite ex 'yea hopes of delusive profits, but they feel the highest confidence 'Oat this undertaking, vigorously and honestly conducted, must '41104 produce enormous returns to the shareholders in the Albi on old Mines. The Directors have entered into a contract with the t sPrietor of the Burns' Rancho es tate, which entitles the Company enter immediately upon possession o f one thousand acres, free of t° , 374 tY or reservation , on which tour openings have already been t i „ttde in the gold-bearing veins , and s p lendid s p ecimens extracted. T he terms of this purchase are most liberal on the part of the pro-- Inlet:it., who, excepting a very small preportion, takes the whole to nsideration, of a third interest (chiefly in shares), to be delivered at Periods subsequent to possession and working by the Company. ' 0 Director or subscriber to this Company will be liable beyond the 43 0unt of his shares subscribed for. The title to this property is undisputed, and possession held con linnally by the resident agents of the proprietor occupying the estate Motu February, 1851, to the present time.—(See Report.) SPeeimens of the quartz rock may be seen at the offices of the "'stnpany, as taken - from the ve in b y th e p ro p rietor, which is inex haustible; and it is arernarkable characteristic of the vast wealth of this estate that the gold-bearing veins, though but three feet wide 'tear the surface, run through the whole property, and in depth are richer in descending and without any known termination.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

Benn, 19th July. 1852, This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent, nom' shing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also in diarrhoea, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemorrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the melt satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary com plaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pul monary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome cough ; and I am enabled with perfect truth to ex press the conviction, that Du Barry's Revalenta Aralica is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

Ifhowever the party, from any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, he could not onlydraw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but a certain bonus of 62/ 20 I/.los Od 2251. ,522 /. 2 5 7 d 287 /. 2 s , 9d. 23. 9d. in the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole ofhis payments, or he could either draw out a part, 201. or 501.. diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum se drawn out at the age • when withdrawn. See pagcss and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rates here selected are those adopted by the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and middling classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. Ia the former of 101.75. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years of age. In the latter 81. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four teen years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, TIIREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. He can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do ro such thing, but his policy at ence lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to fly to for aid, all his hard•earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES 08' THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

As usual, the galleries allotted to the members of the Lower House, and to strangers, were densely crowded. There were also a great number of peeresses present. The Duke of Cambridge was also in his place. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT: The Earl of ABERDEEN at ten minutes after five o'clock rose, and having laid some papers on the table of the house, pi:oceeded to address their lordships nearly as follows :—My lords, in moving the adjournment of the house it is my duty, as it is my desire, to give your lord ships the requisite information respecting the construc tion of her Majesty's Government, and to indicate, although very briefly, the principal objects which will occupy -our attention, and the general policy we intend to pursue. It has ,b,cen usual for men who are placed in the situation in which I have now the honour of standing, to profess the diffidence and reluctance with which they have undertaken the task which has been thrown upon them. I doubt not they have done so in perfect truth fulness and sincerity. But if this has been the case with others, your lordships may easily imagine how much more largely I must share in those feelings. Your lord ships must be aware that I have taken little part in the proceedings of this house, except on such occasions when the subject's where connected with the departments which I have had the honour to fill, and you may readily believe that my tastes and habits precluded me. from taking any very active part hi your discus sions. Arrived at the very .verge of that period which has been assigned to human life, it may well be believed that other thoughts arid . other aspirations would more naturally occupy my attention. Nevertheless, I have felt it my duty to obey the commands of my Sovereign. (Hear, hear.) Before I notice the proceedings which have re cently taken place, I wish to adVert to a circumstance which I understand occurred a few days ago, when the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Derby), in a manner not altogether usual, accused me, and those who acted with me, of having entered into a species of combination or conspiracy to overthrow his Government. I believe the accusation was answered at the time by my noble friend the noble duke near me (the Duke of Newcastle). Never theless, I wish to add that my share in such a conspiracy was not for the purpose of ejecting the noble lord from office, but for the purpose of keeping him in. (Hear, hear.) When it appeared from the equivocal and am biguous terms of her Majesty's Speech, that it was indis pensably necessary some resolution 'Should be moved — some declaration made of the advantages of free trade— my own anxiety was ) , that the terms of that resolution should be such as the noble loills and their colleagues might have accepted without doing violence to their own feelings, and consistently with their retaining office. Those terms were framed and adopted, and, singularly enough, had the effect intended by those who prepared them—namely, that of enabling the noble lords and their colleagues to retain the offices they held by the as sistance and the votes of the very conspirators them selves. (Hear, hear.) If any further evidence were required of the nature of this conspiracy, I have to state that precisely at that time I had myself taken measures to engage a %...71dence.iri the East, with the firm deter mination of passing the two winter months on the shores of the Mediterranean. (Hear.) So much for myself. After the debate on the budget in the House of Com mons, and the resignation of the noble lord and his col eagues, I received on Saturday week a message from e Queen, desiring my attendance in the Isle of Wight. It informed me that her Majesty had been pleased to sum mon my noble friend the noble marquis near me (the Marquis of Lansdowne) to attend at the same time. On communicating with my noble friend I found that, in consequence of indisposition, he was unable at that time to leave his house. I therefore thought it incumbent on me to await her Majesty's commands. I received them on the following day ; and my lords I confess it appeared. to me that the time had arrived when it was possible for men whose political difference the course of events and recent legislation had almost altogether removed, and whose personal respect for each other had never been diminished—l thought the time had come when it was possible for those persons to act together in unison. (Hear, hear.) I thought that the country was tired of distinctions without meaning, and which had no real effect on the conduct or the principles of public men. It appeared to me that if my noble friend the member for the city of London (Lord John Russell) should entertain the same opinion.. and the same desire, I might attempt to undertake the task of forming an Administration. Undoubtedly, I had neither youth, strength, nor ability sufficient to undertake it without assistance ; but by a casual meeting with my noble friend the day before I went to the Isle of Wight, I ascertained that his senti ments were entirely in accordance with mine, and I therefore had no difficulty in assuring her Majesty that I would endeavour to perform the duty which she was placed to lay upon me. On my return I lost no time in endeavouring to fulfil that duty ; and I do not s ay that this was attended with no difficulty ; but this I will say, that I found in every quarter the greatest de sire to reconcile personal objects, and cordially to unite, as far as possible, in the promotion of one object—the good of the country ; a desire in which I admit I fully shared. (Hear.) In the course of a week I succeeded in preparing a list of an administration which has been fortunate enough to receive the approbation of the Queen, and now stands for the judgment of the country. The noble lord opposite stated that he thought I could have done this in twenty-four hours, but I can assure him and your lordships that I have lost no time in perfecting the arrangements which were necessary. (Hear, hear.) I shall now proceed, very briefly, to touch on the different objects we have in view, and the policy we propose to adopt. I need not detain your lordships on the nature of our relations with foreign powers. The truth is, that for the last thirty years the principle of the foreign policy of this country has never varied. There may have been differences in execution, according to the different hands entrusted with the direction of that policy ; but the foun dation of the foreign policy of this country for the last thirty years has been the same. It has been to respect all independent States ; a desire to abstain as much as possible from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries ; an assertion of our honour and in terest ; and, above all, an earnest desire to secure the general peace of Europe by all such means as we have in our power. (Hear.) I will not say we may not have our sympathies excited on behalf of certain States and their endeavour to promote constitutional govern ment ; but the principle of our policy has always been to respect the independence, the entire independence, of other states, and not to interfere with their internal con cerns. This, I trust, will be still the case, and that we shall retain the friendship and deserve the good-will of foreign powers of all descriptions, whatever may be the nature of their government or constitution. (Hear, hear.) And if ever it should be the fate of this country to be called on to interfere, my earnest hope is, that it may be only to exercise the blessed influence of peace and goodwill. Earnestly as I desire to see a continuance of peace, and anxiously as I hope to avoid hostilities, at the same time, I am by no means disposed to relax in those defensive preparations which haie been recently under taken, and were perhaps too long delayed. Not that I these indicate any expectations of an alarming and hos tile character; on the contrary, they are adopted in the interests of peace, and as these preparations are essen tially defensive, they ought not and cannot give umbrage to any power. (Hear, hear.) But, my lords, the great object of her Majesty's present Ministers, the great characteristic of this Government, and the mission with which we are peculiarly entrusted, is the maintenance and prudent extension of free trade and the commercial and financial system established by Sir Robert Peel. I do not intend to enter into any discussion of the respective merits of direct or indirect taxation. The union of both seems indispensable, and it is from the just application of those' principles that we are to hope for the prosperity of the country. In our financial system a difficulty—a crisis I may almost say—arises by the early cessation of a very large branch of revenue. This must be met, and doubtless it will tax the inge nuity 'of all those concerned in the undertaking to ac complish that great work according to the principles of justice and equity. (Hear, hear.) There is another matter to which I must refer, as it is one in which this country is deeply interested —the great extension of national education. It is a want which this country strongly desires to see supplied, and which has engaged the attention of all who have of late years undertaken the direction of public affairs. lam old enough to re! collect the introduction into this country of the Bell and Lancaster system of education, and I well remember the apprehensions it excited, the opposition it encoun tered ; but by degrees these have ceased, and the only difference amongst now is, not upon the point whether education should be general and universal, but upon the mode in which that can best be effected. I admit that the subject is full of difficulties, and is attended with very grave considerations. It is, undoubtedly, my desire— recognising as I do the vital importance of the religious element in all education—to see the due in fluence of the Church exercised in education, consis tently with that perfect right and freedom which all men are entitled to expect in such a matter in this coun-: try, and which it has long been our pride to acknowledge. There is another want whiCh I may say the people have demanded, and that has been the progress of those laW reforms, which, introduced by her Majesty's former Government, has been taken up by the learned lord on the woolsack, and has been prosecuted with so much vigour, ability, and success in his hands. This course must still be pursued, and I have no doubt it will. meet with the concurrence of your lordships, and finally, give that satisfaction which the public have a right to anticipate. Whether by the extension of education, or by the , progress of law reform, I trust that the social condition of the country will be materially improved. I trust that by a cautious and steady progress, which it will be our endeavour to make in all such matters as contribute to the welfare and happiness of the people, that both intellectually and materially the condition of the people will be greatly improved. This will not ex chide the amendment of the representative system, not rashly or hastily undertaken, but by a safe and well sidered measure ; and, my lords, I think it can scarcely be denied that some amendment of this description is necessary, and unquestionably the events of the last election have not been such as to render any man more enamoured of the present system. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord opposite (the Earl of Derby) referred the other night to the existence of a Conservative Government, and expressed surprise and curiosity as to how I should be enabled to carry on the services of the Crown sur rounded by those persons with whom I was likely to be associated. Now, my lords, I declare to the noble earl that in my opinion 'no Government in this country is now possible except a Conservative Government ; and I beg to give him this further declaration, which I take to be as undoubtedly true, that no Government in this country is now possible except a Liberal Government. (Hear, hear.) The truth is, these terms have no definite meaning. I never should have thought of approaohing my noble friend the member for the city of London unless I felt he was Conservative, and I am sure he would never have associated himself with me unless he thought I was liberal. (Hear, hear.) These terms may be convenient to keep up for the sake of party elec tions, but the country is sick of these distinctions which have no real meaning, and prevent men from acting to gether who are able , to perform good service to the Crown and to the country ; and therefore, my lords, I trust, in the highest acceptation of the term, whatever the measures proposed by her Majesty's present Go vernment may be, they will be Conservative measures as well as Liberal measures, for I consider both qualities to be essentially necessary. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord also referred to the necessity of resisting the en croachment of democracy. lam quite ready to unite with him in resisting the encroachment of democracy or any other encroachment of an illegal character. But I am at a loss to see where this democracy exists. I look in vain for any such indications of encroachment at the present moment. On the contrary, I should say I never recollect the time when this country was more tranquil, more contented, less abounding in subjects of danger and alarm, than at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) And this prosperity, this contentment, and happiness, I be lieve to be mainly owing to the system which Sir Robert Peel established, and which it is our business to uphold and extend. (Hear, hear.) No doubt speculative men and thoughtful men have at all times in this country in their closets come to the conclusion that a democratic form of Government might be preferable to a monarchial form of Government, but these are not the men who overturn states, and are therefore not dangerous. In a state of society like ours, that there must always be men recklesi, violent, and unprincipled, ready for any excess and outrage, is but too true ; but at the same time I feel there is less reason to entertain such apprehensions at the present moment than I ever felt in the course of my life. (Hear.) I have great confidence in the people of this country, and I do believe that the imputa tion of even the existence of any cause for alarm at this moment is almost a libel on the people of this country. (Hear.) I regret that the noble earl should have spoken in a tone which indicated hostility to her Majesty's Go vernment. I regret it deeply, because I well know the vast powers of the noble earl.. lam well aware of all that he is able to do. But I believe that we have a good cause, and I trust that if it can only be made clearly manifest that we are sincerely animated by a real desire to promote the welfare of the great body of the people, that we shall have the support of the country, as I am sure we shall have the approbation of your lordships. (Hear, hear.) My lords, I beg to move that the house at its rising do adjourn to Thursday the 10th February. The Earl of DERBY : My lords, so much do I con cur with what the noble earl has stated, and there is so little in the programme which he has explained to the house of, which I feel I have cause to complain, that I should hardly have, thought it incumbent on me to rise on the present occasion, unless the noble earl had ad verted to me in such a personal manner as to render it impossible for me to abstain altogether from making some reply, and in a manner which convinces me that the noble earl has been misinformed of some of the cir cumstances under which I addressed your lordships l on a previous occasion. (Hear, hear.) In particular, can assure the noble earl, that if any one has informed him that I expressed a hostile intention towards his Govern ment, he has received information that is altogether erroneous. I stated, on the contrary, what I hope your lordships will forgive me for repeating—though I am sure the noble earl will believe that I could have stated nothing inconsistent with the high respect I have ever entertained for his many estimable qualities—l stated that if the party of which the noble earl was at the head acted upon those principles which I believe he held in common with myself, then, though I might be doubt ful how far he could carry them out in conjunction with his new associates, still lie would receive from me and my friends, if not a cordial, at all events a conscientious support—that he would receive greater forbearance than I thought had been exhibited to us—and that in particu lar he might rely upon it he would be encountered with no such combination as had been resorted to in order to eject us. Those were the sentiments which I venture to take the present opportunity of repeating now. (Hear) hear.) I felt then, and I feel now, no hostility towards the noble earl—personally I am sure the noble earl will not suspect me of feeling any—politically I feel none ; and I rejoice to find that the noble earl intends to con duct the Administration on the principles he has laid down. .The noble earl also used th e term, not once, but over and over again—the term as having proceeded from me—of concert and combination against the Govern ment: My lords, no such expression fell from my lips to the best of my judgment, belief, and conviction. (Hear,l hear.) What I stated then I ho p e y our lordships will not think I am idly wast in g y our time if I state again, because I am convinced, notwithstanding the denials to which some of my statements were subjected on the pre vious occasion, that what I stated on that occasion, was to the extent to which it went, based o n facts and not on surmises. I felt it incumbent on me badstate lighte house, and to prove to the house, that I not y and without cause thrown down the heavy responsibility which devolved upon me with the acceptance of office ; because I Surrendering as much responsibility at. tached to lightly office as could possibly attach to lightly accepting it ; and I stated to your lord ships that, if we had been defeated on any matter of minor importance, and not involving the question of ge neral support to the Government, I would not have con sidered myself justified in resigning office, much as I might have felt that the Government would have been thereby weakened in the proper discharge of its Rine si tions. But I stat ed to y our lordshi p what was the po tion of the house at the close of the last general election, and I showed that the position of the house was such it that, though her Ma j est y 's Government had the confi dence of the largest am ount of an y single party, yet had not the confidence of the full moiety of the house,' so that it was in the power of all the other parties, by cpm bining together on any vote, to put the Government into a minority ; and I stated—l am sorry to be obliged to repeat the staterrientthat from the period of the general election dOwn to the.present time I had seen indications that there was such a concert among different parties and different individuals. After the statement of the noble earl to-night, I of course acquit him altogether of being a party to such combination, or of being actuated by such motives ; but I am sure the noble earl and your lordsWps will forgive me if I now venture to state the grounds on which I ventured to form that opinion, grounds with which I did riot trouble your lordships formerly, and with which I would not have troubled you now if _the noble earl had not adverted to it. At the general election, of course, addresses were issued to the various consti tuencies by gentlemen representing different opinions, between which, however, I cannot consider, with the noble earl, that there is a distinction without a differemee. (Hear, hear.) Among others, a right hon. baronet, with whom I had the pleasure for many years of living on terms of the closest intimacy, a right hon. baronet who in his early youth represented the Radical constituency of Carlisle—who has represented various places and various constituencies in the interim—has returned again to his former constituents at Carlisle—has confessed his little infidelities, deviating at one time into Whiggism, at another time into Conservatism ; but who has con fessed that he has now found the error of his ways, and that he has returned again to the faithful bosom of his constituents and to those loved Radical principles to which he at first professed his attachment. (Hear, hear.) The right hon, baronet, therefore—and I am sure the noble earl will agree with me that between the right hon. baronet and myself the difference is not with out a very broad distinction—that right hon. baronet, in an address to his constituents, charged her Majesty's late Government that they were a Government without principle, in proof of which he adduced the language held by different supporters of the Government at vari ous places, and then _the yigliklion. baronet _placed the issue upon one ground. He said that support was claimed for the Government upon one ground--confi denee fn the Earl of Derby. Now, he would place the issue on a footing equally clear—the footing of opposition to the Government. That was the footing on which he would unite all classes into one. That was the principle which the right hon. baronet adopted. He stated that for thirty-four years his life was before the public, that he was an ardent reformer, a friend of the Church, and I forget what other points he enu merated ; but he added it was with pain he must add that he was a decided opponent of Lord Derby. I hope, therefore, I do not wrong the right hon. baronet, if, on his own declaration, I assume that, though he belongs still to the Conservative rank, and communing, as I know he did, frankly and freely with gentlemen of Con servative opinions, still I hope I did not err too much in not calculating upon the friendship or the forbearance of the right hon. baronet. He was also fortunately kind enough to state the whole course of proceeding with re gard to the motion on free trade ; and in what I am about to state to your lordships I shall not repeat the gossip of the clubs which Ido not frequent—not the tattle of private conversation which I should be ashamed to repeat-Lbut the statement made in his place in Parlia ment by the right hon. baronet himself, from which I inferred then, and infer still, that there was not a con spiracy, but a concert among different parties for the purpose, at the very commencement of the session, of placing the Government in a minority. That was the whole extent of the statement which I made on a former occasion, that at the commencement of the session I saw different parties, including gentlemen professing Conser vative opinions, acting in concert with others to put the Government in a minority. The noble earl says that he had no such view, and I implicitly believe him. But what was the statement of the right hon. baronet ? He said that he arrived in town at a late hour of the evening preceding the delivery of the Queen's Speech—that he called upon the noble earl now at the head of the Government, with whom he says he is in the habit of unreserved and friendly communication, on political matters. Ido not mean to identify the noble earl with all the political views and opinions of the right hon ourable baronet—least of all would I identify him with the declarations which the right honourable baronet made at-Carlisle ; and if the noble earl will refer to those declarations, he will see how different they are from those which he held when the noble earl last sat in the same Cabinet with him ; but the rigl?t hon. baronet said he in the first instance called upon the noble earl and con sulted him as tp the course which was to be pursued with regard to a paragraph in the Queen's Speech. The right hon. baronet exhibited extraordinary activity and energy on that occasion. He arrived in town at a late hour of the night, and yet he had an opportunity before two o'clock on the following day of communicating and consulting with the noble earl and his friends—with the noble lord the member for the city of London and his friends—with the honourable member—his hon. friend as he calls him—the member for Manchester and his friends—(laughter, and cries of "Hear, hear.")—with Mr. Villiers and his friends : with all those different parties the right hon. baronet found time to concert and consult as to the course which ought to be pursued with regard to an amendment or no amendment on the Queen's Speech—with regard to the introduction or the non-introduction of a substantive motion on the subject of free trade. It was agreed that there should be no amendment, and the hon. member for the West Riding, and the hon. member for Manchester, though they would have prepared an amendment, yet they yielded in deference to the opinion of those with whom they were in consultation at the time, and abstained from bringing forward an amendment which would have thrown die cord and division into the ranks of the Opposition. In the Speech which was delivered from the Throne there was a paragraph which was deemed, as was stated by the noble earl, to be in itself ambiguous ; but I think he will admit that if there was any am biguity in the paragraph, still the declarations which I had the honour to make in this house, and which were repeated by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer in the other house, must have removed all ambiguity as to the intentions and views of the Government. But these explanations were not waited for in the House of Com mons, and after the mover and seconder had made their speeches in moving the address, immediately, according to the statement of the right hon. baronet, Mr. Villiers I may mention his name as he is not a member of this house—stooped across to him and asked his advice and counsel as to whether he should or should not bring for ward a substantive motion. The right hon. baronet ad. vised him that he should bring forward a substantive motion, and notice of such a motion was then given by Mr. Villiers. That notice was first given in vague and general terms, and it was not till the following week — not till within three or four days of the motion being brought forward—that its precise terms were submitted to the house. Of course, Mr. Villiers being the person who gave notice of the motion, if he had been acting in no concert with other parties, Mr. Villiers was the per son by whom the motion ought to have been framed, acting upon his own views, without consulting any one —least of all, without consulting the Conservative mem bers of the House of Comm ons. But no ; the motion was not prepared by Mr. Villiers, but by the right hon. member for Carlisle, who tells us that he took the great est pains to frame the motion —that he was responsible for it—that he took the greatest pains with the exact language that was to be employed. Having framed the motion, his next step was to consult the noble lord the member for London, and he obtained his sanction—one amendment only being inserted, wholly unnecessary to its meaning. The right hen. baronet having obtained the assent of the noble lord the member for London, next proceeded to consult the Conservative section of his friends in the House of Commons, and his colleagues in the late Sir Robert Peel's Government. He consulted them how far they would agree with the words as framed by him. With the consultation of these parties the right hon. baronet stopped short, a n d he did not tell the house from what cause it arose, or on what grou nds it was that, after he had taken so much pains to sha p e the • resolution and to obtain the concurrence of the noble lord the member for London, and o f his former col leagues in Sir Robert Peel's Government —he abstained from telling us how it happened that, after all, this mo tion was notmade in the House of Commons, but that an other motion was made and adopted by his friends. At what time this alteration was made I know not ; but I believe that when the right hon. gentleman laid his reso lution before the gentlemen in whose hands the right of making the motion was originally placed, they insisted on the insertion of words which, in our judgment, rendered it impossible for her Majesty's Government to accede to. it. Those words, however, were inserted, and to those words so inserted consent was given by the other par ties whom the right hon. baronet had consulted. My lords, I say nothing of conspiracy—l may have used the word " combination," but I must say I know not the meaning of words and terms if the negotiations which I have now mentioned on the authority of the right hon. baronet were not a concert and a combination between three totally distinct parties in the House of Commons, one of which professed Conservative prin ciples, and one of whose distinguished members professed in this house, that there was no difference in opinion between him and her Majesty's Government, except upon the question of free trade. (Hear, hear.) The noble earl opposite says that the words of the motion were studiously framed, not to embarrass, far from it, and still less to eject her Majesty's late Government—but that the words were framed so as to assert the principle ' - ir is: - Lrril e4l' itn , Al 6 n _ a o'' 4 an.
