SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. [1 , 11.631 THE TIMES.] The members of the new Administrittion who have re. ceived their.appointments have begun to work—they are in their several offices or bureaux; so that if the Ministry does not, yet go upon " all fours," like a metaphor, it goes upon three legs, or upon two legs and a crutch, till its other members shall be completed. We really look with dismay, and almost hopelessness to the situation of the country. This is the very crisis of our affairs with respect to our finances; and these are in the hands of the Duke of Itrellin4ton and Mr. Goulburn, as first Lord of the Tree nary and Cssancellor of the Exchequer. If they can con , duet ns well through our difficulties, right glad shall we be of such a reiult: but let not any man in future say that appropriate genius and ability—that experience, discretion, and practice- ! --are necessary fur managing the fiscal con• earns of a depressed nation and a bankrupt exchequer; fur • unquestionably, no two men from any walk of life (hardly any two geese from a comna.o.h) could have been selected, the natural bent of whose talents (if one of than have any talents)-:—whose previr,us pursuits and course of study could render them l es s competent to the situations ; and we whit] beriousiy recommend to them—if the forms of the constitution allow of such a method—to pet-feria the show-part of their offices in the respeetive Houses of Parliament to which they belortg, and farm out the business-part to Mr. Rothschild, or some clerk of Mr. Baring's. If the Duke _of _Wellington and Mr. Gotilburn succeed in their present uodethkiag, let not auy roan herr:after talk of a Neckar, or a Price, or. a Pitt, as able calculators, or great financiers. The finances of a country, and finance-management, are all a humbug ! But it may. be said that the same persons would have had the acme offices and the same duties to perform, if the late Administration had not been broken up. It is trace they would have had the same offices, but not the same duties along with them, if Mr. Huskisson had remained in the Ministry ;. for every one knows upon whoiss it was that the country relied, under the last Ad ministration, for the conducting of its financial concerns, and for the arrangement, if not the exposition, of the gadget. The gentleman just mentioned was the father of our present commercial system, upon which the revenue, so much depends. Though opposed to some of the mere technical arrangements of one of the ; Corn Bills, he is deeply versed in the whole question, and thonsually ac quainted with all its bearings upon our own domestic policy, and that of other states. Ile is also imbuesLhy_ study and observation with the knowledge of .thi twin question (" similima proles indiscrete suis".)-of the circu lating medium of paper and gold. Is his successor in the Colonial Office the heir also to this knowledge ? If be is, why then we may exclaim with rapture, " Inspiration again !" " To give a young gentleman tight education, " The army's the - only good school in the nation." . _ Of Lerd Aberdeen we have spoken with that considera tion witli which a person of untarnished private character deserves to be mentioned its these vicious times ; het the nation has not forgotten, and cannot overlook, the incapa city which he showed as a negociator at Vienna ; and it is probably owing to that very circumstance that Prince Metternich has since adhered to him with such unbroken friendship, . because he knows be is but a baby in his bands. 1 3 ut let it be conside re d with whom the Earl of Abertleen`will now have ,to treat. We do not speak of Russians only, with whom, however, it is not impro bable but that the recent change of Administration may dr a w us into a war. At this very moment the most important 441 our fitreire concerns remain to be settled wit)) the Americans. A . pretty negociator his Lord ship's frigid dignity will render him, to deal with, thisse cunning, selfish, riff willed, obstinate republicans, whom Air. Canning, in his corresynndence, with a feliw.ty almost fearful (for hie superiority must have been balling to his antagonists), always contrived to plat* and exh:hit "in the wrong." .To supply all the-e deficiencies, the Duke of Wellington .js continually, and perhaps not vrry improperly, brought forward. But had not the last AdMinistration, we ask; the benefit of his Grace' "dents and supremacy, as well as the present? And snot no consequence by what colleagues the Premier is supported ? Now, the truth is this,--and though all know it very well, and feel it very sensibly, yet probably we are the first who have ventured to state it openly, —his Grace has not the art or ability to express himself very ,forcibly, or even dearly, in the "Ifonse of Parliament to which his great deeds and unremitted labours as a warrior have justly raised anti still less is he competent to explain and justify the policy of those acts, which, a." A servant of the Crown, it is his dutrtovropose to his Ilnyal Master. For though there be a Duke uf Wellington Prime Minister, there is a King still, we presume : we live under a limited monarchy, with ap hereditary Prince ; 'and it is surely of the essence of such a Governtnent as ours, that his Majesty's Prime Minister should be a person capable of elucidating, arid rendering palatable to his subjects, those measures which, by bearing hard upon their domestic comforts, might otherwise tend to crush . their loyalty also, their personal affection; ant/ constitutional obedience. Of the More eminent and lofty et those two personages, we - shall venture most respect fully to observe, that though irresponsible by his station, in the present enlightened state of society, he cannot but be responsible to the public opinion ; and this frankness, perhaps even offensive, by sheeting that we are not afraid to avow our opinions, of whatever kind they may be, will, we trust, bespeak the public ronVence in those which we sin avow. r The nation, therefore; May rest firm in the con viction and belief, that his Maksty has, throughout the late occurrences, dealt like a most honourable and honest English gentleman. But, has he been so dealt by ? The proceedings of Friday last in the House of Com 'DOM furnish a specimen of the esprit de corps by which military men are on most occasions actuated, and of which, it is to be presinned, this nation is likely to obtain some edi fying experience before his Grace the Duke of Wellington has loug held: the reins of power. When Mr. Hume, in the discharge of his duty as a : Member of Parliament, thought proper to deprecate the substituti on of soldiers for statesmen in the recent appointment to high political offices under the Crown, and to protest, as every reflecting Eng lishman in his heart must- do, against the introduction of " a military Government into Great Britain," tip gets a • gallant officer named Lindsay to attack Mr. Hume for his opposition to this new mode of recruiting the skeleton Treasury bench, as "Aingenerous.,,in spirit, and unjust in Was the gallant officer's having borne arms against the -enemies of the State, a reason (asked . the Honourable Colonel) for his being refused promotion to civil office?" Now this is all very time talking, but exceedingly vague and inconclusive. It is not because a Ytkina has borne arms against the public enemy that lie is to be qualified for political office ; but because that,—first, a ioldier by profession is not brought up in the habit either of exercising free will himself or of tolerating it in others, which would enable him to sympathize, so much as those may who are not professional soldiers, with the habits or even prejudices of a free community. The professional soldier receives from his superiors, not opinions to be con sidered, but commands to be obeyed. He issues in his , turn to those under him, orders which admit of no dispute or hesitation. They must be executed without a murmur. liecundly,—The professional soldier looks to the Crown and to -the Coursj, fnr every advance in his profession : his worldly fortunes are in the breath of the Royal or tlinisterial nostrils., lb has no bond of dependence or alliance with any part of the State, but with the Court alone. Ile acknowledges a King, but not a country. The mental biasses, therefore, of a niditary can must be taken into consideration, when we estia,ate his fitness for civil office; nor is it possible that if he has given his heart to hie profession, he should be free from a tendency to impatience. and disgust on perceiving any at tcmpt at opposition among the Teople to that supremacy et Revel pleasure which is to every loyal soldier the law', and almost the religion, ,of his life. Thirdly, - ---It seems to he quite out of the . qoestion that a military man, if he has extol had a good early education, should enjoy sufficient time and opportunity for acquiring political knowledge. _Nu active soldier cannot read on subjects net connected with his professiun,—at least he cannot study them atten tively,--aud an idle soldier will not. Hesitating, there fere, to pronounce that a military man ought to be sys tematically, and under all possible circumstances, debarred trona all civil office, we certainly are trot of opinion that there are many cases in which lie ought to be selected for it, to the exclusion of candidates drawn from civil life. After Colonel Lindsay, Sir Alexander Hope gut up, and in ra ther an angry Strain pursued the Lord No rtnau b y ' s , as if same course of observa tion, catching at an expression o f the Gallant Officer had felt that a general animadversion should be construed into personal offence. We regret that such circumstances have arisen. Altre are sincer e ly con cerned to see the military character and pretensions placed, by the partiality of a Ministeilor his own dependant ; i n a light where it cannot fail tote looked at unfavourably and invidiously by the nation. To the individuals tkus elevated to power it is impossible for us to object. There is no Mae who bears a more honourable name in the m ilitary records of the empire. than Sir George Murray ; and Sir Henry Harditige is known to be a moat industrious and efficient officer. But the spirit of the thing is bail ; we may in deed hate ' in one sense a " United .Government,"--the union of the camp, not the Council Chamber, where an " eAler ofahe day" will cut short all needles e deliberation ; '~ and the Gazette will, in process of time, be referred to for What the Statutt Books and Journals of. Parliament. con tainNi in &net times. (FRO3I THE kORNING CHRONICLE.) •Every animal knowit imtinctively where its strength'lies. The bull never fails to have recourse to his horns, and the ass to his heels. .4% similar instinct seems to have guided Mu. Gallant Premier. Ile oWeel his elevation to one of those fortunate eorOonettlres Which occur once in a cen tury ; and it It hot saying nii eh to affirm, that if any one htti ptoposed his Grace for Pt'emit;i . 4.4 e r., or Tour years ago, he would have incitrrett tome risk of being clapped into one Of Ate, Warblirton's houses. But When Ministry after Ministry were falling to pieces, and very able and nklarthy men in other respects, seemed to labour under some invincible necessity of flying off from each other, peopl e were amused with the idea of a ,plain blunt man, like the Duke, who they ihohght Could have no feeling of rivalry on aceOnni of abilities himself, acting as a sort of drill in the tahinet, and coercing. the mutinous, sen sltiVs, br refractory spirits in it. His Glace's installation Will surprised many; but the ettenestiVe arrangemer.ts and negociatious had wearied liedple, and John null, besides, was quite perplexed With the new phenomenon of places seeking men inea, , ad of men seeking places, so that the appoint *fent went down. People said, Huskisson, and Grant, and Dudley will keep him from cormsitting. the country by his ignorance, and he will ffeep them and their colleagues to • gether, and pteVelat them from falling by the ears. How ever, he seems to have been seized with the ambition of being out of leading strings, and haiing rid himself of heads in the Cabinet, his instinct, no dottht, Suggested the peculiar appointments ha Itat finale, as the most effectual way for ridding hitntelf of the heads out of the Cabinet. Your fighting men arc the men for his purpose. • It is not eloquence which he requires (for the less that is said of him and his measures the better), but the :means of silencing eloquence. One of our Parliaments was called the Par r liantentunt Indoclunt • we tsupposo this will be called the Parliamentum Ihfi,cOnifh.—The tact was obvious on Friday night.—There was Sir Alettander Hope like a Draertiansir, when a delicate allusion was made to his very disinterested eulogy of fttifitary capability for cicil offices, lookiag as fierce as a turkey cock,—" meaning me, Sir,!" We all remember the services performed by Sir Henry 1-lardinge in the discussions about the Deccan prize money. Mr. Spring Rice, at all events, 'Who busied him self a good deal afterwards about ;the matter, cannot have forgotten them. The buke, no doubt, chuckles ; at the idea of putting its opponents to flight by his fire-eatera. What with his military Ministers and his military expectants, there will be no want of force. For every antithesis dis charged lie will have another missile of a more tangible kind in readinesa. It is said that one of the best of Cicero's orations, which have come down to us, was not the one delivered on the occasion that the great Roman was so much agitated by the unusual assemblage of soldiers, that his eloquence utterly deserted him. The application we leave to others. (14011 THE MOANING HERA,J.D. According to the present arrangement, the Duke of Wel. lington's Cabinet is composed of fewer members than has been known for a number of years, the number being only eleven. Lord Liverpool's Cabinet consisted of thirteen, and Mr. Canning's of fifteen, which was the greatest num• her, it is believed, ever in ..a Cabinet; and which deserved the name which an Administration many years back got— namely, " the mob Cabinet." The Secretary at War and the Chief CommisSioner of the Woods and Forests, we believe, are unprecedented offices in being called in to be members of the Cabinet. These were members of Mr. Canning's Cabinet. The office of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster has for a length of time been considered to be filled by a member of the Cabinet. In the case of the late Mr. Pereeval, when he left the Bar, and took the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer under the late Duke of Portland, the emoluments of that office not being equal to what he was gaining at the Bar, he also held the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, but which was so strongly remonstrated against in the House of Commons, the office being considered to be for a Cabinet Minister, that he resigned it. (PROM THE NEW TIMES.) Nothing decisive has taken pace since our last in the Ministerial arrangements 'which remained open. Mr. Frankland Lewis has . been Mentioned as the proposed successor to Mr. Lamb in the Secretaryship of Ireland, but the report requires confirmation. • Lord Castlereagh, we alai) find, though he had been suggested, has not yet received the appointment of Under -Secretary for the Foreign Department, and other candidates may succe.s . fully dispute the post with his Lordship, though his name is a host in itself. It appears certain that the further con sideration of the East Retford business will produce a trial of strength this evening in the House. His Majesty's Mi nisters are determined, we understand, to support their proposition, that the . elective . franchise shall be ex tended to the Hundred of Bassetlaw instead of being granted to Birmingham.. The Opposition are equally bent on be stowing the boon on, a branch of the commercial commu nity. The result will probably decide the fate not of the Administration: but of Parliiment. For if it should ap-, pear, however trifling the cause of the contest may be, that Mr. Hnskisson, instead of retiring, 'as it was expected, from public life, has accepted the:post' of Leader of the Liberal and Whig Opposition, and should time result be a majority against the part taken by Ministers, little doubt is entertained that they would think it due to themselves and to to the country, tp appeal' to their sense by a dissolution of Parliament. (FROM THE MORNING AI;VERTISER:) . . The Ministry is still the subject which is uppermost in the minds of all who take the slightest interest in the affairs of the nation ; and it pains us exceedingly that we have no news of a more favourable character to communicate re specting it, than those who compose it are, in common parlance, " at their wit's end," and that a dissolution of Parliament has formed the subject of the late deliberations' of the Cabinet. How far this remedy may, or may not, benefit the country, is still a .problem ; but we believe there is no doubt of itslapplication, and as little of its unpopula rity, with the Members of the House of Commons. A seven years' Parliament in that quarter is a God-send— a dissolution in three years—which is, however; a 'highly constitutional measure—an evil which would gladly be avoided. Looking at the constitution of the present Ministry, however,—the - feebleness which is inherent in it, and the formidable power which is inherent in the Opposition—we do not sec how it is possible to avoid one of two trietisures--a general resignation, .or a dissolution of the body which can force a resignation. We pity Mr. Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, and the Duke .of Welling ton—not because they have in . any respect disgraced themselves, orr - forfeited the c onfidence of the country; but because being all capable of rendering important services to their country, they have leagued themselves to a party which the country detests, and from whose best exertions neither they or it can derive the slightest benefit. The adhesion of the Earl of Aberdeen, who is not an Anti-Catholic as some of ottrootemporaries repre sent him, to the present Cabinet, is universally regretted. His Lordship's private character is so unexceptionable, and praiseworthy—his talents are so generally recognised as far superior to those of the cominoti herd of politicians.-and his information respecting the state and resources of the different Continental Powers, so minute and accurate— not to speak of his practical experience as a diplomatist— that with any other colleagues be would be a host in him self. We fear for hint, howeskr, in his present situation ; and fear the more because men, of whatever party, who are driven. to their last resources, are seldom scrupulous • re specting the means which are likely to promote their ends. SUNDAY PAPERS. (mon THE NEWS.) DtssoLutioN or PA 11.LIAMENT...4t is strongly, and in our opinion rightly suspected, that the House of Commons, accustomed as it is to swallow Ministerial doses of great strength, will never he able to get down the New Virel linyton Cabinet Pill 1 and that Colonial Secretary, Sir 0. Murray !, with ,Horace'Twiss for his Under-Secretary! .". mus t stick in the arteria aspera or thro a t pip e ; if even ~ the other curiosities are gulped - down. In this case we learn, that a dissolution of Parliament will take place. Will such a measure, however, give the wished-for r ca ed u9 ie tr u y t— . a i t t id w il l money a t least will ac quiescence? In our decided opinion —it will not. i t s e so ow dissolution ,f l light How ever, let the Ultras try hth the e est i send some money through Him most acceptable there.

The inquiries of this Committee are. 'now . it seems coming on very tender ground—on the 2518,000/. allowed by the French Government to British claimants, but which sum has been expended on the fishery gew-gawe at Virginia water. It is surmised that certain members of the late Cabinet were by weans to be blinded on this subject, and therefore pretences were eagerly sought after to get rid of them ; and by the dissolution of Parliament, of the Committee also. We would recommend to such of our readers as have been at the expend of buying 614-1 Calendars 'with every change of Ministers, at once to cut out the leaf which contains the Member , . of the Cabinet, and substitute a manuscript leaf—for such have been the transformations of tate years, that no yearly publication can keep pace with theca. • The puppetsare now made to dance On their wires PO quickly, that the pen alone can record their gambols. Woods and Forests go to . the Duchy of Lancaster—the Duchy goes .td 'the Foreign Office—a Quarter - Master General from the Horse Guards is turned into a Secretary of State, and a Barrister whcAe great coat pockets would hold every brief he ever possessed, is given him as Under' Secretary. It must either require very tritiling qualifica tions duly to fill these offices, or the men in question must possess very wonderful powers of versatility in state af fairs. We leave our readers to judge which of these is the case. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. M PERJA L PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS. Sir A LEXA NDER. GitA NT . and others from the Commons brought up the. Corn Bill, the Pensions Act Amendment Bill, ,the Stamps Allowance Bill, the Law of Evidence Bill, and the Csius College Bill. Lord 1-Icwari brought up the Ayr and Gilder Naviga tion Bill. . . After the prestntation of several petitions against grant ing any further concessions to the Catholics, and for the abolition of slavery, Earl GROSVENOR in presenting a petition from - the silk throwsters of Congletoo, against the importa tion of foreign thrown silk said that he bad attended before the adjournment, for the purpose of putting certain questions on this subject to a Noble Earl not no 4 , in his place, but, at the desire of the Noble Earl he hag refrained from putting the questions, as he stated that he wished to consult with other Ministers in the Lower House, the Colonial Secretary and the President of the Board of Trade; but it so happened, that the Noble Earl was no longer, he be lieved,. a Member of his Majesty's Government, and the distinguished persons who were to assist him with their. advice were not at present in any public situation. Under these circumstances, he (Earl Grosvenor) felt great difficulty as to the course which he ought to'pursue. The _Noble Earl proceeded to designate the various changes which had lately taken place in the Ministry as highly dis satisfactory, and calculated to create discontent ;hroughout the country. The Duke of WELLINGTON said I am sorry I am not prepared to answer the question of the Noble Earl, but if be puts his question in a few days hence, I or some other person will be able to answer then. The Earl of DIALMSBURY thought the subject de served the most serious attention, GRANT TO MR. CANNING'S FAMILY.

The gallery was crowded this day at au unusually early hour, in consequence of the expectation which prevailed that some discussion would take place on the late Ministe rial rupture.

Mr. TENNYSON moved the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on the East Retford'Disfranahise ment Bill, and expressed a hope thnt some explanation would be given relative to the changes in the Ministry. • The Order of the Day having been read, Mr. HUSKISSON spoke to the following effect the circumstances under which 1 offer myself to your no tice are such as will, I trust; bespeak for me that of which I stand in much. need—the patient indulgence of the House. (Hear, hear.) Without making any further appeals to its liberality and good feeling', Sir, notwithstand = ing the examples which have been set in modern times--nut withstanding the, precedent set by my Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he retired front office, and notwithstanding the appeal which has been made to me by the Hon. Member who has moved the order of the day. I am not prepared to subscribe to the doctrine thut a Minister of the Crown is necesgarily obliged to explain the grounds which led to his ce asing to hold his situation.—( Hear, hear.)—For any thing which I may have done whilst I had the honour to hold a respon sible situation—for any thing which I may have omitted to do whilst I held the office of a Minister of the Crown-- I am ready to answer any questions ; I am ready to render as full and as explicit an account of my conduct as has ever been requirad from icy predecessors in respect of such pub lic. employment. •' Sir, whilst I deny the abstract obliga tions of giving an account of the motives, of the reasons, which led to my ceasing to be in office. lam ready to admit that there are, therefore • several peculiar cir (.lllll4am:es in the present case, which call upon tile , 1 think in justice to the public, and, if I may be allowed to say so, in justice to •my own character, to ask the pa tient indulgence of the House whilst I enter into such ex planation.:—( Hear, and cheers.)-Sir, when my' Right Hon. Friend, the Secretary of• State fur the Home Depart ment, retired from office, he explained the m otives which induced him voluntarily, though reluctantly, to resign an office, during his continuance in which lie had done so many services to the country. Sir, my duty is.of a-different description, I have to state, nut the mo tives, but the circumstances which led. to my removal ; for, of the motives which induced others to remove me from office,' it belongs to them `to speak—(Cheers)—and of those motives I shall say nothing but this, that I am perfectly satisfied, be those motives what they may, they were such •as appeared to them necessary to the discharge of their public duty.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—The ,event is one of a public nature, and if it be represented in any a?.. '4, * i ~ r ~ quarter that I lightly or inconsiderately, and upon what I must look upon as a • trivial occasion in itself, have re tired from office, I own that I should be much to blama :public_ opinion if I have ken so far forgetful of my- duty to my Sovereign if. •I have been so far forgetful of- what I owed to. an -im portant and' arduous pUblic truSt=if I had overlooked the difficulties and 'arrangements which must, occur froth. such a circumstance taking place in the midst of a sessionif I had overlooked the interruption which it must necessarily create to all business in this House and the public depart ments, if I had overlooked not only the inconvenience of suspending the ordinary march of public business, but the stiff greater incovenieece which it must produce at a cal - - tical - conjuncture of Foreign' Affairs, in occasioning some suspension to that intercourse which that country must keep up with its allies, and to those measures which it became this country to take for the true main tenance tof peace the and harmony of Europe. If, under those circumstances I have resigned, as it is said I have, or that I have been removed, as I contend I have, without sonic circumstances to comae such removal, is I admit, a proper subject for enquiry, and is that which • should be unravelled. It is my duty to take care , that the fearful consequences—the unavoidable delays to public business which must be the result of such a cir cumstance, ought, if not justly, not to be laid at my.door. —I am afraid I must trespass upon the patience of the - House.—(Hear.)—The House will recollect that at an - early period of the Session two Bills were submitted to their consideration in consequence of two Boroughs haying I been reported to be guilty of bribery and corruption in re turning Members to Parliament. One of those Bills affected the elective franchise of the borough of Penryn, and it was proposed to transfer the franchise of that borough to Manchester ; and it was also proposed by the Ho nourable Member for Blessington • to transfer the elective franchise of East Retford, the Other,delinquent, Borough to Birmingham. On the 21st of March, a long discussion took place in this House upon thelat ter proposal, and my Right Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for the Horne Department, said according to his view of the case, inasmuch as there were two Bills under the con sideration of the House, it would be desirable to transfer. the elective franchise of one borough. to some great com mercial town, and of the other to the adjoining Hundred. My Right Hon. Friend urged at great length, and with his usual ability, the expediency of such a course ; and a long debate ensued, - in the course of which many gentle men on the other side of the House usged the propriety of transferring the elective franchiSe to two great towns. I came down to the. House on that day without any, the slightest intention of taking any part in the diseuiaion, but as no other person but my Right Hon. Friend had addressed the house from the Bench on which he. now sits, I, at a late period of the evening, rose to state the reasons which induced me to support the proposition of my Right Bon. Friend,' and it would appear that in the course of my observations I made use of the following expressions—at least I find tits I ant reported to have Used. them ;—" If the pre sent case stood alone, I ,should certainly rsoommend and Support the measure of transferring the elective franchise to some great commercial town."—l do assure • the House r -4 do : assure my Right Honourable Friend that in making that statement, and in putting forth that declaration, that I was not outstepping the fair spirit of the line of -argument adopted by my Right honourable Friend.—(Loud cheers.)-1 which to state that now, and in the situation in which I stand, I would not be in clined to do any thing' improper, but I must say, that it so happens, that in making that observation I am not the only individual-who thought I was concurring in the view taken by my Right Hon. Friend. (Hear.) But I am also bound to say, and I speak it in sincerity, that after the explanation given by my Right Hon. Friend 1 did on that occasion outstep the fair and necessary inference which ought to be drawn from his etatenieut, and I was committing myself to an extent beyond that which my Right Hon. Friend committed himself: Sir, on April Ist, about ten days after the discussion to which Z have alluded ; a Bill for disfranchising Penryn,and transferring the franchise to Man chester, passed this 'Muse, and was sent to the other House from that day until the 19th May, no further proceeding had taken place with respect to the East Retford.Bill, and I understood, but I 'do not know how correctly, that it was suggested by my Right Friend, to make that Bill a waiting Bill, depending upon the fate of the other Bill in the other House of Parliament, and to have the future proceedings upon this Bill dependent upon the fate of the Bill in the other House. On the 19th of May it was proposed to take further proceedings on this Bill, and on that flay it was perfectly well known to every Member of • this House, that the Penryu Bill was in that state in- the other "House of Parliament in which it was probable, indeed it Was cer tain,- either that the elective franchise would be transferred to the 'adjoining hundred, • - arid_ not 'to Manchester, or that the . Bill would. be r• reje:cted altogether. Flee!, ,•Sir, all the 4itlichities'..in. which I am placed inimak -I:ing this pakt of my statement,-, as 1 cannot allude to what pass ~ .al in another place where I have ceased to. he a member ; hut I may say this without.imprupriety that lily Right Hen. Friend.was well aware, when be came down to the House on the 19th May, to what extent and in what degree, 'and in what words I committed - myself by my declarations on a former occasion. I may also say that it was then well known-..-to' all those - whom I had then • the happiness to call - my colleagues that the dismission upon hat Bill WWI one of this nature—that every Member of the •Governinent felt at liberty to take such a course, as to him Now I stated at that time, and I state now, that that was an entirely new anomaly in the history,of the dealing of this, House With its Hon. Members. My Hon- Friend Ldon't believe was prepared, nor do I conceive be is so now, to. 'slioW how his own machinery would work. How many . people there are iu this town rated at 20/. a-year, and how was this Mayor or returning officer to be elected by the Aldermen—how were they to be sure that was rated at 400/.. a year ? The whole thing presented such an anomaly, as to be one of the most extraordinary eircumstrucee that was ever presented to Parliament 1 as the mode of creating a new little county in the hondred of Nottingham, and erecting in that county aright such as existed in nu other town, annihilating all existing franchise in that town. The Hoe. Gentleman ,Went on to say that, as moo as this proposal had 'been made hy his Right Honourable Friend, his Right Hoc.., Friend observed, upon the differences that appeared, but his Right Hon. Friend had shown successfully that he himself on a former day had taken a line calculated to put into execution the course adopted by his Hon. Friend ; the arguments, however, of his Right Hon. Friend, adopted in order to establish his own consistency, actually destroyed all possibility of his (Mr. IL's) voting upon the same ground he had occupied. Every circumstance by which the Right Honourable Member was thus surrounded, after the admission that the Penryn :Bill was lost in the House of Lords left, his (Mr. Huskisson's) position un tenable. A Noble Friend, certainly without any personal or political hostility, said, " I claim the vote of the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, and I claim it upon the very ground of his own consistency." Thus called upon to redeem a pledge, and the demand having .been mode by , the Honourable Member in that House; what alternative had he but to rise up in his place and acknowledge the pledge--(Hear, hear). He a cknowledged the pledge, and having stated that he had made use of the words which his Noble Friend had adopted be attempted to show that the measure proposed by the Hon. Member for Hert fordshire was entirely novel in its character, and deserved more mature co nsideration. He wished therefore the House to give time, if it s hould be the sense of the House to consider whether it was possible to carry into execution the machinery proposed by the Hon. Member. His Right Hon. Friend in rising to make this short address, said—" Be sure you mark the difference between what I have said on a former occasion and the declaration now" The Honourable Gent. did not ivant' this specific declaration made; he then and still felt that the course adopted by his Hui. Friend had been straight-forward and consistent; bid every Hon. Gentleman would see that in proportion as lie upheld that consistency by any he could say, he necessarily adopted the course of voting in the line adopted by his Right Hon.. Friend. Therefore it was to avid the difficulty and pain of the situation in which he was pl ace d, More than in consequence of any importance attacehed to his conduct that he proposed not to proceed to any vote Upon the Bill. And he hoped lie might he allowed to say, that if the course so natural for him to have adopted, and to him so obvious for the House to have adopted under such circumstances, had been adopted, whenever the House carne to a further discussion on this measure, no possible difference of opinion, as far as his character iu the Executive Government was concerned, could have arisen, whatever line he kad taken. He pressed his Honourable Friend to give his countenance to delay, but be said it was impossible, and he could not withhold his suppirt to the Bill. In consequence the Douse proceeded to a division, and regarding his consistency 'he could not do otherwise than give the vote he gave:— He knew it had been said by per Sons whcise judgment and discretion, if he might of his own personal character been concerned, have paid the greatest deference to; that he might have sheltered his consistency under the plea that he knew not the fate Of the Peuryn Bill.—(Hear.) —But after all he had heard that would have been a subterfuge unworthy of himself.—(Cheers. )--Almost every Hon. Gent. had stated without any contradiction from any quarter— ‘ ..`ik. R\;:' contradiction being impossible that the WU virtually lost:.lldhad beatid it from all—he h>rid fieira'it from his Right Hon, Friend, that he considered the Bill as no longer in existence. . The division took place, and the House ad journed. He retired, but not without Observing the' looks of some, or without hearing in the ordinary whispers expres- . sioes respecting the course he had taken. He may, under the impression of exaggerated feelings, looking probably through a magnifying glass, arid 'did that which, perhaps, otherwise he would not have donei in the same manner. After having being engaged froin.ls to 16 hours in tIO discharge of public duty in Downing-street and in that House, be went -home and did that which he was new ' bound to say, if.he had thought more upon, it would have been better, in all probability, to have postponed. Respect ing the correspondence that had taken place, he felt a deli cacy in some respects in attempting to read it, lest he should lay himself open to suspicions—(Cries of " read")—then lie (Left speaking.)
