EVENING EDITION SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. I INIPERI AL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Parliament was opened this day by her Majesty in person, and the attendance of Peers was fully as numerous as on the occasion of the prorogation of Par liament in August last. The galleries and doors lead ing to the body of the House were thrown open at twelve o'clock, and before one o'clock almost every seat was occupied. Just before the arrival of her Majesty many of the front benches which had been re served for Peers were taken possession of by ladies, whom the attendants found it impossible to displace, and the space near the bar was also fided by persons who were unable to procure accommo dation elsewhere. Among the spectators in the right- hand gallery was an Indian prince, whose Oriental _ . costume excited much attention. During the 'recess the throne, footstool, and canopy, appear to hire been reg,,ilt and decorated ; the steps were covered with a magnificent purple carpet, em bloThred with a Norman rose; and on the left of the throne was placed a splendid chair of State for his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Among the Peers who first entered the House were the Earl of Redesdale, Lard Portman, the Earl of Devoe, the Bishop of Durham, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Normanby, the Bishop of Roel - ester, the Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Ripon, &c. The Ministerial bench was completely- filled, and tg,:mport.ry seats were placed in the intervals between the benches for the accommodation of those Peers who arrived rather late. Lord Melbourne, who appeared is bis usual health and spirits, was the first of her Ma jestz's Ministers who e ntered the House, and conversed for sonic time with several of the Peers near him be fore Ee retired to join the Royal procession. The Judges took their seats on the cross-benches im mediately in front of the Throne, and among theca were Lord Langdale, Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Little&le, Mr. Justice Coieridge, Mr. Justice Patteson, Baron Maisie, Mr. Justice Coltman, &c. In the diplomatic circle were the Austrian, Turkish. Russian, French, Prussian, Belgian, and other Ambas sadors, and the variety of costumes, decorations, &c., rendered this part of the House extremely brilliant and picturosque. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived shortly before two o'clock, and after conversing with several of the peeresses present, took his scat at the top of the Ducal Bunch. _ At two o'clock the d;scharge of cannon, a flourish of trumpets, and the shouts of the populace, announced the arrival of her Majesty, and a buzz of expectation and excitement pervaded the immense assemblage in the body of the HOLIFC, which was at this time crowded in every part. At a quarter past two o'clock her Majesty, preceded by tote heralds and the great Officers of State, entered the House ; all the Peers and Peeresses rising and re maining standing until desired by her Majesty to he seated. The great Officers of State, including the Earl Marshal, the Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Surrey, the Lord Chancellor bearing the Great Seal, the Duke of Sornersct,bearing the Crown, Lord Melbourne, the Sword of State, and the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Cop of Maintenance, having taken their places on either side of the Throne, her Majesty directed the Usher of the Black Rod, Sir Augustus Clifford, to summon the House of Commons to the bar. His Royal Highness Prince Albert who wore a Field .Marshai's unitorm, entered with the Royal procession, and took his seat in the chair of State prepared for him on the left of the Throne. Her Majesty was attired in a robe of white satin em roi lered wi h gold, over which was the State mantle of purple velvet. Site al,:) wore a tiara, neck lace, and earrings of magnificent brilliants. Her Ma jesty appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent elealth and looked extremely well. The Speaker, in his State robes, attended by an im mense body of Members, having appeared at the bar, the Lord Chancellor, on his knee, handed the Speech to the Quimn, which her Majesty read in her usual clear and distinct manner. The introductory part was, with difficulty heard in consequence of the bustle and con fusion created by the over-crowded state of the House, and the anxiety of those in the back scats to obtain a view of tl,e Throne and the distinguished personages in its irnittediate neighbourhood. 'rne Speech will be found in another column. Immediately afterwards her Majesty quitted the House, and the Royal procession returned in the same state to Buckingham Palace. The House resumed st Five o'Clock, at which bout the Loan CHANCELLOR took his scat on the Woolsack. Lord BEA.UINIONT (late Mr. Myles Stapleton, whi has made good his claim to the dormant peerage of Bs wmont), took the oaths and his seat. Viscount MELBOURNL laid the Convention en tered into between. her Majesty and the Emperor of Attattia, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, and the Sultan, for the pacification of Turkey, on the table. The LORD CHANCELLOR then read her most gracious - Majesty's Speech, during the reading of which leord Brougham entered the House, and, walking up 4o the Conservative side, shook hands with the Duke of Wellington, and then took his scat in his usual place. The Speech having been read, Lord DUCIE rose for the purpose of moving the Address. He said it appeared to him that it had slways been the custom to fix on the most inexperienced person in that House to move the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne ; and on the present occasion the Noble Lord had certainly not shewn himself a Reformer, but had adhered closely to the old custom.—(A laugh.) He hoped, however, that their Lordships would not show themselves Re-- farmers, by refusing to him that kind . and courteous feeling which had usually been extended to those whel stood in the situation in which 'no was at present. — (Hear, hear.) It was most gratifying to find from her Majesty's most gracious Speech that she stil continued to receive from Foreign Powers assurances of their most ardent desire tor the maintenance of peace ; and it was still more so to find that the first wish oil her Majesty, and the first object of her Go vernment, was to maintain that peace which was so essential to the welfare and prosperity of this country, depending as it did so entirely opal the extension of its manufactures and its commerce. But dear and necessary as peace must be admitted to- be, he was satisfied that their Lordships would beatihe last persons in the world to wish that England should lose that high position emong nations which she must necessarily lose if she etheulcl be guilty of any culpable neglect of interfering, in a casein which her interference would become neces sary, more e Tecially in such a case as that which had re cently occurred, in which that interference had become necessary for the maintenance of the peace of Europe. He bell red that the country.owed a deep debt of gra tittelee-o4:l e heads which had planned, and to the hands which had so nobly executed, that series of opera tions which had ended so satisfactorily. With re gard to the expedition to China, he was glad to earn from the Speech that there was every probability of our differences with that country being brought to a speedy termination. Their Lordships should, bowel ar, recollect the dilatory nature of our Chinese friends, The occupation of Chusan, however, was, be thought, an event very much calculated to hasten their diplomacy. E -ents had taken place in India since they last met which were calculated to forward the prosperity of this c ountry, and to secure peace in that quarter of the globe. With regard to the legislative measures recom mended in the Sp eech from the Throne, it would be nselessi for him to debate upon them at any length, be sauce they had both of them, hebelieved,in principle, already received the sanctlo their L d ship's House.—(Hear, hear.) n Canadaof was no longer &swiped, and it was satisfactory to know that the Ca nadians seemed fully satisfied with the working of their new Constitution. With regard to our domestic af fairs, we were at present in the enjoy meet of quiet. Agri culture was in the most prosperous state, and manufac tures were rising from the depressed state in which they had bean of late into that limited and uncer tain state of prosperity beyond which they could sever rise so long as duties of a restrictive nature were continued, which rendered it impossible for any human foresighf or precaution to prevent a recurrence of famine vices in articles of subsistence.--(lronical cheers from the Opposition.) It was impossible that a large and react:rated field for commerce, on which this coun try depended, could be opened under these circumstances. Before proceeding further, he would cast a retrospec tive glance at the state of derangement of our com mercial affairs in the summer of 1839. This was owing to a contraction in the currency —to the second great breaking up of credit in the United States—to the 4 state of our relations with China—to the blockadeof the South American ports by the French, and to the uncertain state of our negociations in the Levant. Since those affairs had been settled he hoped that such an alteration would take place in the commercial relations of this country as would produce a balance of payment is favour of this country, so that bullion would again return to the coffers of the Bank, and that the money market of London would be relieved from the pressure which now weighed it down, and from the advanced state of in terest which had been demanded for the last few years. what must prove a groat relief to the internal interests of the country, because by it the banks would be enabled to afford that assistance to commerce which was necessary for its well-being,. In addition to having \ those prospects of an improvement in the currency, he had also the satisfaction of congratulating their Lord ships on the Lope and belief -that many of those causes which had hitherto pressed upon the co:nmerciat interests were either renewed or were about to be removed. The settlement of the Syrian question bad opened up Sy r i a an d E gypt to the spirit and enterprise of our merchants, itntl we might also hope that the influence England had obtained from the posi tion she had taken of late would produce an extended and profitable commerce in those nations. The ces sation of the blocadc of the South American ports would again cause our commerce to be resumed with that people, and the recognition, the wise recogni tion he would say, of the large State of Texas, had opened a large field for the enterprise of our commer cial community. The late reports from the Eastern Seas had given us every hope and right to believe that the differences existing with the Chinese Government would soon be arranged, and upon such a founda tion as to lead us to expect full indemnity for the past, security for the future, and a largely extended commerce with the immense population of that country. There was no spot more hi ight in the occurrences of the past year, nor one more worthy of c ongratulation, than the commercial conduct of the people of the United States.—(Hear, hear, hear.) From the magni tude of our commerce and our extended inter course, which took place between England and America, it was impossible but that the derangement of the internal affairs of the one must tell upon the other. The evil which had existed in America had passed away, and we had every reason to hope that that extended commerce would be resumed which had for rncrly existed to the advantage of both countries. He had already done justice to the proper and noble spirit of the American people, hut he would not pro perly discharge his duty if he did not call their Lord ships attention to the punctuality with which they had, after so severe a pressure, met every en gagerrient.—( Hear.) They had set a good example to their neighbours in South America—(Hear, hear) —and indeed it was an example, which was not a bad one, for some of the alder states of Europe.—( A laugh.) It was indeed pleasing to find that the general peace was not likely to be interrupted, that was a matter of general congratulation, for any interruption of the general peace of Europe would be fatal to the best interests of the commerce of the country. It was but an act of justice on his part to call the at ... tention of their Lordships to the uniform success that had attended the efforts of her Majesty's present Mi-. nisters. They had now peace at home, and their: . arms had been victorious abroad.—(Hear, hear.) had been said that that success was attributable to incidental circumstances, and not the exertions of her Majesty's Ministry. lie denied that such was the case. Peace at home had been secured by the strict enforcement of the law, and the results that had taken place in the East were attributable to the admirable policy that had been adopted by her Majesty's Fo reign Secretary.—( Hear, bear.) The birth of a heiress to the Throne of England was a source of great congratulation to every right-feeling English man, and the thanks of the country were due to the Almighty Disposer of Events for having secured an hair to the throne in a direct line.—(Hear, hear.) He had no doubt, looking at all these circumstances, that their Lordships would unhesitatingly adopt the Address which he should now propose to their Lordships in answer to her Majesty's gracious Speech. The Noble Lord then read the proposed Address, which was almost an echo of tie Speech. Lord LURq,kN, in rising to second the Address, said that he felt couscious of Lis deficiency to do justice to a ;:übject of such importance, and he trusted, there. fore, that the House would grant him its in dulgence, while he endeavoured to perform the duty w hich had been allotted to him.F, But, on the other hand, he must request, that if he glanced but for a moment at the topics of the Royal Speech, or ran briefly and imperfectly over those great and interesting events which had that day been brought before them from the Throne, he would take courage because he felt there was a strength in the case which had been put by the Noble Earl, tl , e mover of the Address, which could not be impaired by the weak ess of his advocacy. Yet he thought if ever men inthe positions that might be occupied by himself and the Noble Earl were entitled to speak confidently, and to anticipate sanguinely, they were in that position. Under the auspicious circumstances under which the Session had commenced. He wished he could state that any of those auspicious circumstances had diffused any of their bright beams through the nature and composition of the Address ; but proud as he was at having the honour of standing sponsor to the Noble Lord's proeue tion, and a very promising production he fully anticipated all their Lordships, without exception, would pronounce it to be, and naturally disposed as he was to take upon himself that sort of after-birth paternity that was put on the sceorders of the Address. Still, with all his feeligslof partiality for it, he confessed that he could not dis cover in it any of those sentiments that would have made it more agreeable to himself. —(Suppressed laughter.) The Address, like every other Address be had heard read in either House of Parliament, was with one exception, which be was sure was present to all their Lordships' minds, and, ho had no doubt, their Lordships' hearts—with the exception of that paragraph which touched on the birth of the Princess Royal, the Address was but a dull copy and spiritless echo of the communication from the Throne. —(A laugh.) He did not think the worse of it for that. It appeared to him to be a good sign- of the state of the country, and to say something of the prac tical working of the constitution, when the Sovereign could so speak out in the face of day before the assem bled Parliament, as to draw forth a faithful response. Ay, even an echo of the sentiments in the answer. It seemed to him to say something for the position of the people, and the suitableness of the Govern ment when the Parliament could so discharge its duty. to the country as well as to the Crown, as to desire to send back no better answer on the part of the people, and hear that which had been put on their lips by the parental and constitutional suggestions of the Throne itself. Therefore the address was an echo of the Royal Speech, and he trusted that it would meet with heir Lordships' unanimous and cordial approval. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The doors of the Gallery were opened shortly before two o'clock, and on our admittance the general ap pearance of the House struck us as much lighter than last Session. The interior has been repainted of a light cream colour. The bude lights occupy the same places they did at the close of the Session ; they have, how ever, been ornamented in such a manner as to give them a much more elegant appearance than formerly. The attendance of Members was scarcely so nume rous as it usually is at the commencement of a Session ; the only occupants of the Treasury Bench at two o'clock were Sir Henry Parnell and the Attor ney-General, while the front bench of the Opposi tion was at that hour quite unoccupied. Mr. Ewart, who entered the House shortly after two o'clock, seated himself for a while on the front opposition bench in the place usually occupied by Sir Robert Peel, but he soon crossed over to his old place, and joined Mr. Hawes on the second bench on the Ministerial side. The only Conservative Member of any importance, who was present at this time, was Sir Frederick Pol. lock. Shortly after two o'clock, however, the House began to fill rapidly. At twenty minutes after two Sir Augustus Clifford, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, announced to the Speaker and the House that her Majesty required their immediate attendance at the bar of the House of Peers, and in obedience to this an nouncement the Speaker, accompanied by the greater number of Members then present, and pre ceded by the Sergeant at Arms, bearing the Mace, left the House. The Speaker returned after an ab sence of about ten minutes, and the House adjourned during pleasure. The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at Half-past Three o'clock, and informed the House that during the recess he had issued new writs for the election of Members to serve in Parliament for the borough of Carlow, in the room of Mr. Vigors, deceased ; for the county of Mayo, in the room of Sir W. Brabazon, deceased ; and for the Kirkcaldy burghs, in the room of Robert Ferguson, deceased. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. CAREW took the oaths and his scat for the county of Wexford, and Mr. I'IGOT, the Attorney-General for Ireland, took the oaths and his scat, upon his re-election for Clonniel. CARLOW ELECTION. Sir T. FREMANTLE stated that there was an other Hon. Member (Col. Bruen) who w as waiting to take the oaths and his scat for the Borough of Carlow, but there was an error in the date of the return. ' lie election took place on the 30th of November, and a return was made on the sth of December, but by some accident or mistake it was dated the sth of November. He (Sir Thomas Freemantic) apprehended that it was merely a clerical error, and that it did not affect the merits or validity of the election ; but if any doubts were en tertained upon the subject, he was prepared to point out a similar case which occurred in the year 179 0 . The Honourable Baronet then referred to the Journals, from which it appeared an entry had been made, to the effect that the House be ing informed there was a mistake in the last return of a Knight of the Shire for the county of Huntingdon, the return being dated April 15, instead of May 15, it was ordered that the Clerk of the Crown do attend and produce the return. That having been done, and a Member having informed the House that he was present at the return, and that it was made on the 15th of May, it was ordered that the return ehould be amended by inserting May instead of April. The Hon. Baronet concluded by moving that the Clerk of the Crown do attend the House forthwith and produce the return.—Agreed to. The Clerk of the Crown immediately attended and produced the return. On theentryomnotthe j motion of Sir rTwHnOs_ read.NlAS FREMANTLE the The e Mr. ARCHDALL stated that he was present at threneod. lectio T n for lCatrilow, o ec when Colonel Bruen was re to retur n rnrn took as opialaz on n n the the 30th o h o f f No vember, and th e De cember. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE then moved that the return be amended by atriking out November and inserting December, which was accordingly bug, rrilE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 26 1811. The subject was then dropped. POO R-L AWS. Mr. E. J. STANLEY gave notice that, on the part of Lord John Russell, the Noble Lord would, on Mon day, the 29th of February, move for leave to bring in a Bill for the continuance of the Poer-law Commission for a limited period. REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS. The RIGHT HON. GENTLEMAN also gave notice that, on Wednesday, February the 3d, Lord John Russell would move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Laws relating to the Registration of Parliamentary electors in England and \Vacs ; and that on Thursday, the 4th of February, Lord Mor path would move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the lawii relating to the registration of voters in Ire. land.—(llear,) The Noble Lord would also move _ . on the 6th of - February for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to the drainage - of lands in rcland. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. (IRELAND). The RIGHT HON. GENTLEMAN also gave notice that on Tuesday, the 2d of February, Lord Morpeth would move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better admi nistration of justice in Ireland. EAST'AND WEST INDIA DUTIES. EQUALIZATION. RIGLIT HON. GENTLEMEN al.9a gave notice, on the part of Mr. Laboucherc, that, on Tuesday the 2,1 of February, he, (11L-. L.) would move for leave to bring in a Bill to equalise the duties on East and Wcst India Rum—and that on Thursday the 4th of February, Mr. Labouchere would move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of railways. NEW WRIT FOR MONMOUTHSHIRE. Mr. E. J. STANLEY then moved for a new writ far the county of Monmouth, in the room of Mr. Wil liams who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. The HON. GENTLEMAN also moved that a new writ be issued for Canterbury in the room of Lord Albert Conyugham, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds ; also for the borough of Walsall, in the room of Francis Finch, Dq., who had also accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.. Mr. KEMBLE moved that a new writ be issued for the Eastern Division of Surrey, in the room of -Richard Aisager, Eig..decoaied.—Ordered. NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. FRES HFIELD gave notice that on Thursday next he would move for the production of any written communkmtioa which had taLen place between the Lords of the Treasury and the Commissioners appointed to invect harbours relative to the port :,elected for the departure of the East India mails. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. Mr. KELLY gave notice that on Tuesday the 9th cf February, he would move for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of the Punishment of Death in certain cases. Mr. EW ART gave notice that it was his intention to move for a new constitution of the Com mittees on Private Bills in order to pro vide against improper local interest, and increw ing the responsibility of Members on such Com mittees by reducimr the number. Also, that on Tues day, the 9th of February, he would move for the reduction of the duties en East India produce, including tobacco, and to assimilate the duties upon such pro duce to those levied upon the produce of the West Indies.—( II ear, hear.) IRISH REGISTRATION BILL. Sir T. FREEMANTLE, on the part of the Noble Lord, the Member for North Lancashire, (Lord Stanley), gave notice that on the 2d February, he (the Noble Lord), would move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to the Registration of Voters in Ireland.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL was about to give a notice, when he was interrupted by The SPEAKER, who said the Hon. Member ought to put his name upon the List. COPYRIGHT. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD gave notice that en to morrow he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Law relating to Copyright. Mr. BROTHERTON gave notice that on the Ses sional Orders being moved, he would move that no new business be commenced after twelve o'clock.—(Loud laughter.) to raise up feelings of honest pride and ex ultation in the heart of every Englishman ; he alluded to the glorious achievements which had been accomplished, not only at Acre but on the hanks of . the Indus and at China. The latter triumph might not be so glorious as that of Acre or the banks of the Indus, but it was not less important in its results. Those achievements had not been undertaken for the purpose of territorial aggrandizement, but for the establishment of the independence of the Ottoman empire, the better government of India, and to repel an insult on the part of China, and to obtain for the merchants of Eng land redress. Theirobjeets also were to vindicate the national honour, and to place the commerce of the country upon a more sure foundation. It was pleasing to reflect that in all these undertakings her Majesty's efforts had been either crowned with success or were upon the eve of being- so. With respect to the political state of the country, be had no hesitation in aasc:ting, that upon the success of the measures of her Majesty's present Government, the in• tcrests of the country mainly depended. The course they had hitherto pursued had been attended v. ith the most beneficial results. They 114. d maintained the peace of Europe under circumstances unexampled in the his tory of wlyinAtion. Her Majesty in her Speech from the Throne had declared it to be her intention to use her best endeavours to establish and maintain the peace of Eu rope, and the guarantee of the other Powers of Europe to aid and assist. in that n:rest v.-ork would allay those fears which had been excited in consequence of what had taken place in some parts of the Continent.— (Hear, hear.) The settlement of the Eastern ques tion had been rendered certain by the glorious success of the British arms st Acre, tlud by the arrange ments that had taken place the power of Mehemet Ali had been circumscribed within its proper lim:ts. They had the strongest assurances from the Throne that the negotiationschtered into by her Majesty with the great Powers of Europe last year were on the eve of being brought to a successful termination. It was to be sincerely lamented that in the course of events France had thought it necessary to withdraw her assistance from the other great Powers, v Bich had confederated soltly for the purpose of maintaining the peace of Europe and the safety of its political relations. It was, hots ever, satisfactory to know, and it was matter of self-congra tulation to this country, and to her Majesty's Ministers, that the righteous objects they had in view, and which it was their determination to secure, had been attained without the assistance of France, and even in spite of her opposition. To the former Minister cl that country another had succeeded, in whose abilities and modera tion Europe had reason to repose every confidence. They might hope that Prance would yet see her error, and would enter again into friendly relations with this country, and renew her former intercourse with us, The immense resources, and the many dependencies o that great empire, imposed a •ery serious responsibility on those who had to conduct its government ; and ii was to him matter of rejoicing, to find in the rum sures and principles of our colonial policy that love of justice, and those principles, of liberty, on which a free country should ever act. (Hear, hear,) It was matter of congratulation to look to the prosperous state of our colonial possessions, and especially of the Canadaa—(Hear, hear)— to see the rapid progress of internal improvement in those provinces, and the great advancement of their commerce. It was most gratifying to observe the temper with which the Canadians had received the measure for the union of the provinces which was passed by this Parliament in the last Session.—( Hear, bear.) Many who were hostile to that measure during its progress, were now doing all in their power to smooths difficulties, and to givo it a fair trial.---( Hear.) For his own part he felt quite as sured that at no distant period that country (Canada) would become a great, commercial, and powerful nation. (Hear, hear.) Amongst the intentions which her Ma jesty intimated to Parliament, none would be received with greater pleasure than her declaration of the neces sity for maintaining economy in every departinent of the State, so far as was consistent with a due regard to the exigencies of the country,s k A necessity bad arisen for sending out two :power ful fleets to carry on operations, one of theth in a very distant part of :the world. This necessity had naturally entailed d very great expense upon the country. But expensive as those armaments were, the expenditure was of small importance, com pared with the maintenance of this country's honor, and the protection of our fellow-subjects and allies in all parts of the world.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") In reference to that part of the Speech which alluded to the administration of justice, we understood the Noble Lord to say that the present state of the Court of Chancery was a crying evil, and com plained of from one end of the country to the other. Of course upon that subject there would be great diversity of opinion, but. he did trust that Parliament, in whatever alteration it might make, would, as far as possible, remove the evils which were complained of. There was another subject reterred to in the Speech from the Throne in which the House must feel a very deep interest, the expiration of the power of the Com missioners under the Poor-law Net during the present year. He felt satisfied that Parliament and the country in general held the Poor-laws in very high estimation. Its advantages had been felt throughout the kingdom not only in the improved so cial condition, but also in the moral condition of the peasantry, and, he felt perfectly certain, to make the best possible provisions for continuing these benefits. Another subject alluded to was th state of Ire land. Much good had been done in that country by the present Government, and had they power much more would be done. He hoped Parlia ment, before long, would receive more thankful fruits of their anxiety to bring forward measures for the improved condition of that country. There was a Bill to be brought before the House by the Attorney-Gene ral for Ireland, which he looked forward to with anxiety, viz. a Bill for the Improvement of the Mode of Register ing Votes. He sincerely hoped that that Bill would be favourably not eiv coed; that in legisl a ti ng for Ireland the House wouldnsider how littl e , b ut h ow m uc h, it r received could do for its benefit. • He implored the House to consider how fair and just the demands of Ireland were. She required and asked for nothing more than to be put on an equality with the people of this nation. She de manded nothing more than equal civil privileges. Let the House grant these, and they would make her a peaceful and happy nation—withhold them, and he shrank from the consequences.--(Hear, hear.) He implored the House to grant this common justice, and they would then be able to solve the enigma which had been asked in this House so frequently in legislating for Ireland—they would be able to make her contented, happy, and prosperous —not only a source of strength, but also of commercial wealth. He was happy to bear testimony that Ireland partici , pated in the general prosper 4 that pervaded every part of the empire. She was improving in wealth and industry, and great benefits were perceptible from the care that had been taken to disseminate throughout the country the advantages of education.—(Hear) Al though party spirit and religious rancour did ekist to a certain extent throughout that country, still he believed that strife was, yielding to order and law, under the friendly and benign influence of the Government. These certainly were matters which agitated and disturbed the public mind in Ireland, and this was one that created great grief in his breast —he need hardly say he alluded to the repeal of the Union. To that measure he was most determinedly and decidedly opposed • and therefore he could not view it teithout fear and apprehension at any time ; but that fear and apprehen sion was a hundred fold augmented when be saw the repeal of the Union agitated at a moment whets the greatestconeord and union were required among all shades of Reformers to maintain that power and that position which they now had. He implored those who advocated that measure to pause ere some ealamity befel the country, which they would be the first to regret: He felt he had trespassed on the House too long—he had touched upon more subjects than one which her Ma jesty had mentioned in her Speech, and he would con clude by thanking the House for the patient hearing they had afforded him, and calling upon them, with earnest confidence, to support the Address which he had the honour to move. (Cheers.) The Noble Lord then read the address, which was an echo of her Majesty's speech. Mr. GRAN TLEY BERKELEY in rising to se cond the address to the Crown, was happy in having that opportunity of congratulating the House end the country on the foreign and domestic policy pursued by her M a j es ty' s G overnmen t.—(Hear, hear, bear.)-- Although a tt ac h e d t o a Liberal policyas he was, a nd a supporter o f th e presen t G o vernment as he had been on many and important occasions, yet he felt con vinced he s h ou ld not o ff er to the car of that House one single sentence of congratulation that would not meet with the views of all who heard him. He was fain to believe that there did not exist a man in England, Ireland, or Scotland whose breast had been dead to the news which arrived by every Indian mail, detailing the triumphs of British arms throughout the length and breadth of the continent of India. He con gratulated the country, and he congratulated the Govern ment upo n th e Chi nese war, as b e i ng so advantageou s to the gr eat commercial i nterests o f th a t co unt r y, an d here let him remind the House that among the angry di scuss i ons of last S ess i on , Mi n i sters w e r e on th e verge of losi ng the reigns of Gevernment for not having counselled a su b m i ss i on on t h e part o f that country to th e indigniti es o f Commissioner Lin, and the injuries which British merc h ants b ad sus t a i ne d—(Hear, hear)--he would r em i n d t h e Right lion. Baronet the Member for Pembr o k e ; and, although he now heard him, that Right Hon. B aronet cou ld no t f or get that he had been greatly instrumental in opposing the motion when it was brought forward. Still he felt confident that the Right Hon. Baronet was too generous a po litical foe, and too enlightened a statesman, not to join him and the House in congratulating the country on its present triumphaneposition. When operations commenced against China, the rerentertess of the seat of war, the novelty of tht; eileumitance6, auti 11.:• ',,A4idIOUS Llaie rical strength of the power against which they were to contend,might well have raised a doubt in the minds of some as to the issue ; but they had now ;veil that the policy which had given instructions to the Admiral commanding on the station was founded on the most just calculations. It must be most gratifying to the breasts of all, that a mere handful of men, schooled to forbearance, but determined on success, had humbled the brutal pride of an enormous empire, and forced the Emperor of China for the future to regard the humblest English merchant, while trading with that country with honour and respect. Not only was the highly-trium phant policy of the Noble Lord likely to be productive of beneficial results in a mercantile point of view, but he was induced to regard them in a religious point of view —(A laugh)—and that a dawning light was about to break through the darkness of that idolatrous land.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The mass of the Chi nese people had been taught that they were dealing with an enlightened and powerful nation, instead of with humble barbarians, and not only had England been brought into greater repute by that policy, but their commercial interests would be hereafter much better attended to. Look at the conduct of this coun- try in Syria—look at the glorious and brilliant career of our Navy, and the unprecedented bombardment and taking of St. Jean d'Acre, which was not more honour able to the gallant Admiral who commanded than to every officer and seaman engaged ; and he would not forbear from referring to the subject, although a relative of his own was engaged in these operations. Let them look at the simple facts. The first landing of the Turkish troops and British and Austrian marines was effected on the 10th and 11th September. The Turkish troops amounted to about 6,000, the British marines to about 1,500, and the Austrians to 2 50 ; the whole did not arrount to 10,600 men. The troops of [brahim amounted to 6,000 men, in different parts of .he country, but the people of the country were all . . against him, having been driven by cruelty and oppres sion to desperation. They therefore flocked to the sea beach for weapons, and from first to last received 30,000 _ _ stand of arms. A Turkish reinforcement followed the first expedit►on, and then from 12 .000 to 14,000 Turkish troops were engaged. These troops, he thought, had round in Commodore Napier a man possessed of the most dauntless courage, of the moot daring enterprise, and gifted with a genius available alike on land and watcr.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Fort after fort, and town after town surrendered to their joint attacks. The Egyptians, whenever they could escape from their tyrants came to make submission. The fortress of Acre, which had defied Napoleon at the head of his best troops, and had withstood every attack of Ibrahim him self in 1831 and 1832, surrendered to a British and Austrian squadron, after an assault of less than four hours. Never had the skill and valour of the British Navy displayed itself to greater advantage, or with less loss, their mortality having amounted to no more than 60 men. Compare this attack with that of Algiers, and look at the results. In the latter had been lost 800 men, yet this was considered as one of the greatest exploits o the British Navy. What, then, remained to them bul congratulation. By sea and land their arms were successful. The policy of his Noble Friend had made this country the arbitrator of foreign nations in spite of the attacks of France, and the cry at home. The Government had done their duty, and were it the last act of his Noble Friend, he might fairly exclaim-- "To-morrow do thy worst, for I Have lived to (ley." —(Laughter.) In alluding to the Foreign policy of Ministers, he should refer to our relations with Ame rica. He could not do better on this subject than quote a brief sentence or two, with the permission of the House, from the Message of the President of the House of Congress. The Hon. Member here read a passage from the Message to the following effect : " With all the Powers of the world our relations are those of honourable peace. The excitement which grew out of the territorial controversy between the United States and Great Britain having subsided, it is to be ae hoped that a fourable period is approaching for its termination. From the nature of the points in debate, and the undoubted disposition of both parties to bring the matter to a conclusion, I look with confidence for a prompt and satisfactory conclu sion of the negotiations.—(Hear.) The spirit of that passage proved that the Government of England had done their duty in relation to that question. There was: a recommendation in the President's Message to which he also wished to refer. That recommendation had for its object the diminution of the legal traffic in slaves, and he would wish that the advice were taken by England, wherever her dominions ex tended, and that she should endeavour to eradi cate the evil ,wherein it existed. That trade had now assumed a darker form than ever from the injustice which it did to those who honestly conformed to the law. Wherever that trade prevailed it should be abolished with even-handed justice. Let him, therefore, express a hope on that topic, that the time was not far distant when her Majesty's Ministers would bring forward a complete,generous, thoroughly-provided for effective measure, unrestricted to any particular re gion, for the importation of free labourers not only to the Mauritius, but to the whole of our West Indian colonies. But to return to subjects of congratulation. We had now the full flush of important victories upon our mind, grateful to the people, honourable to the Government, and glorious to the country.--=( Hear, hear.) He would now glance at some points in our civil and domestic affairs—and first to the new poor-law system. The introduction of that system was one instance amongst many of the erro neous feeling with which alterations of an old law is often received by a large portion of the people. The new law was, there could be no doubt, in the first place, de - - cidediy unpopular, and it frequently happened that the most unfit men were made the instru ments of carrying it into effect.—(Hear.) He knew instances in his own county of the improper and oppressive administration of the law on its first coming into operation. In one case he knew relief to he refused to an aged couple—both upwards of eighty years of age—who refused to go into the workhouse, and who had never before applied for relief in the whole course of their industrious lives. Now however the proviiioes of the law were carried properly into effect. The poor were now feeling and acknowledging its advantage s. There existed now no doubt that the Poor Law Amendment Act was pro gressing in the most satisfactory manner. In his own country the rates were reduced twenty per cent., as compared with the three years preceding the passing of th.t Act. On the sth Of lanuary 1836, there were in that county 846 able bodied men receiving parochial scliaf. Oa the sth of nanuafy 1841, there were but 26.-4 Hear, hear.) In spite of letters, writ ten from the felons cell, to stir up discontent and to render the law odious. In spite of these and other sub tifuges resorted to by persons who sought only by such means to screen themselves from responsibility, it could not be denied that, generally throughout the coun try, the , great mass of the people showed an im proved ditpositloo to look to consequences.—(Hear.) He might safely say that the Snow ball of the Chartists, rolled in the first instance—by to disaffected people who had bathing to lose hut everything to gain, by confusion had had melted away before the wise men- Buses of her Ma jesty's Ministers and the returning good sense of the people, Incendiarism was forgotten, and the day labourer could now retire in peace to his cottage. He begged pardon of the House fOr having trespassed so long upon its attention, but a Sense of duty, and a feeling of gratitude to :the Goveenment which he bad so often supported, and at other times so freely opposed, hall led him to make these remarks. He would now express a hope that her Majesty's Ministers, having been so successfully using the art of war, would for the time to come sedulously cherish the greater blessing of peace, widely and gene rously extending such civil and religious benefits as might prove blesslnge to mankind whatever their state or station, their creed or colour. Impressed at he was with the propriety of the Address of his Noble Friend, with respect to the reasons of congratulation both on account of our domestic state and our foreign af fairs ho hoped that at such a thrice happy period when all bitould be stmshine, concord, and uninter rupted happiness, thay *bold unite in a congratula tory Address ; expressing their sincere loyalty and af fection, and their deep sense of gratitude for the general prosperity *high, tinder Divine Providence, the Government policy had preheat:le Mr. GItOTE rove and said, In offering to the Llotise a feW rattails uliSOo the Address 'which had been s reposed for adoption, hd should not think it necrssary to exardne in detail the Speedi de livered from the Throne, nor to touch upon all, nor , even upon most, of the topics which it brought before them. He need hardly say that in their expression of congratulation which it had been proposed to offer to her Majesty with reference to the birth of the Princess Royal, he most sincerely concurred, He was sure that upon that point at least there would be no difference of opinion in the House. The Speech, t ,ken as a whole, appeared to him not to be very rich in promise. It dwelt principally upon foreign affairs— topics certainly of great importance, but he must also remark, that even with regard to foreign affdrs the topics which it omitted to notice, and which must be present to the mind of many who heard him we: c hard') of less importance than those to which it referred. There was one topic amongst those noticed in the Speech which was preeerninent above the rest in interest and importance, and which had excited discussion and en gaged men's minds to a very remarkable degree since the House last met. lie alluded to the Syrian expedition. its causes and its consequences. Upon that topic he should entreat permission of the House to address to them a few remarks. In approaching the subject it was his first duty to say that he thoroughly and heartily concurred in the remarks which had been made both by the mover and seconder of the address in commendation of the gallantry, the efficiency, and the naval skill and decision -which had been dis played by our army and fleet on the Syrian coast. No one could feel thet more sincerely than he did. But while he perfectly co!neided with the Noble Mover of Atiemrs opplautling tic merits of our officers and our planate], he was sorry to say that he could not coin cide in applauding the spirit in which that expedition had been cougeiveo, or tse .purposes it was intended s IDOLATRY IN INDIA. Sir R. INGLIS gave notice that on the 4th of February, he would put a question to the Right Ho nourable the President of the India Board relative to the employment of the troops in India at liolatrous Festivals, and upon the answer to that question would depend the course he would think it his duty to take. ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION. Captain PECHELL gave notice that on Tuesday, Feb. 9, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Tithe Recovery Act, entitled the sth and 6th, William 4th, and to take away the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts, in all matters relating to tithes under a certain amount ; and that to-morrow he should present a petition from Sarah Young, who was then confined in Monmouth gaol, for not appearing to a citation of the Bishop of Landaff. PARISH CONSTABLES. Sir E. KNATCH BULL gave notice that on Men (lay, the let of February, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the payment of Parish Con stablcs. CONSTABULARY. Mr. HODGES gave notice that to-morrow he should move for leave to bring in a Bill relative to the appoint ment of the County Constabulary. Mr. FOX MAULS gave notice that on Tuesday the 9th February he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to improve the practice and extend the jurisdiction of County Courts, and on the same day he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the jurisdic tion of the Court of Chancery in matters of bankruptcy. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.—IRELAND. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that if the Bill of the Noble Lord, the Member for Lancashire, did not contain a clause to define the franchise, he should divide the House on the motion for leave to bring in the Bill.—(Hear and a laugh.) Mr. HERRIES wished to know if there would be any objection to his moving for certain returns re lative to the funded and unfunded debt ? and gave no tics that he should move for these returns on the motion for going into Committee of Supply. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH.—THE ADDRESS. The SPEAKER said that he had that day attended her Majesty at the House of Peers. Her Majesty had made a most gracious Speech to both Houses of Parlia ment, of which, for greater accuracy, he had procured a copy, which he would then read. The SPEAKER theca read her Majesty's speech, which will be found elsewhere. Lord BRABAZON said that in rising to move that a humble address be presented to her Majesty, in an. swer to her most gracious speech, be felt the greatest possible pleasure—a pleasure unalloyed by any dis agreeable feeling, except that occasioned by his own utter inability to do justice to the subject In proposing that an Address be presented to Il e r Ma jesty expressive . of the grateful sense which the House retained of the most gracious Speech which she had that day been pleased to deliver from the Throne, he felt happy that the subjects to which he should have to draw their attention were such as would confidently enable him to anticipate that Hon. Members on both sides of 1 the House would cordially agree with him in the Ad dress which he was about to propose. Seldom had t fallen to the lot of any one standing in the sittiation in which he then stood to have to direct the attention of the House to topics of greater interest than those which had been put forward in the tSpoech from the Throne, or to congratulate them on more glorious prospects than those which sere now before them.—(Cheers.) In entering K i t the discussion in which they were now about to engage, he should endeavour to do so as much as possible without any party feeling, in order to show Hon. Geetletnen opposite that it was his wish to endeavour as far as possible to conciliate all parties. The great rbject was to secure the entire and cordial co-operetion of the House in the Address he should preeently have the honour to move, The first topic to which he should allude was not touched upon by her Majesty in her Speech, though it held a prominent part in the Address he was about to move. It was a .subject not more prominent in this Address, than in the hearts and affections of all her Majesty's subjects. It was a subject on which his feelings irresistiley carried him along, and it gave him the greatest pleasure to feel it was a subject on which he could indulge the full, un restricted expression of that pleasure in common with every other gentleman in the House, and every loyal subject out of it. The event of such national importance to which he alleded was the birth of a Princess Royal of this country.—(Cheers.) On this point there could be no diversity of opinion ; and he felt he did but do justice to all Hon. Members when he stated his con viction that he did but express the feelings present in their hearts, in asserting that that House viewed with the most unbounded delight utd joy that auspicious event. When the House met last year to address the Throne on the deelaratjon of her Ma j esty of an int en ti on to contract marria g e with his Serene Highness Prince Albert, they did so in fond anticipation that a step, which was so fully - approved of,and met with such univer sal approbation, would, through Divine Providence, be attended with all the blessings and domestic comfort and happiness, by which it was the ardent de sire of all her subjects filet her Majesty should be surrounded, If then they did, as undoubtedly they l did, derive inexpressible joy from the anticipa tions and fond hopes they wore led to entertain, how rejoiced should they be to behold the accom plishment of all those fond wishes, and how gratefully they should thank the Almighty Giver of all Good that ho had deigned to hearken and to answer the nation's prayers to protect her Majesty through all the perils she had undergone, and to give to the country it direct heir to the throne, who, he sincerely trusted Wn!lifl have her mother's sir . of tu preserve uninipaireu the teoustitution the many pleasing reflections the . subject he had etsh'earcidounct'ruyl(.l—(Hear, hear.) . He now turned from adverted to 'produced, to 4 sublect calculated - , to accomplish.—(Hcar, hear.) He (Mr. G.) could not forget that they had been exerting their force ag air.s persons with whom they had not the slenderest ground of quarrel. Neither Mehemet Ali nor his partisans, nor any person in Syria, had inflicted the smallest wrong or damage either upon Englishmen or upon Eng lish interests.—(Hear.) (LEFT SPEAKING.)

The Tories, who continually taunt the Ministry with accepting Radical support, are themselves cage' to avail themselves of assistance, come from whatevei quarter it may. 'f he Post has been puffing an °bog' pamphlet, the author of which avows his object to be a Tory Government as a means of Reform ; and Ile Times has drawn forth from the waste-paper basket , a petition from the Glasgow operatives, which weans have produced wonderful effects if it had not been pre' stinted so late in the last Session. This curious ben" rnent, we are told," was consigned to Sir W. Follett, who being prevented from attending to present it hire" self, transferred it to the no less worthy guardiansb i r of Sir Frederick Pollock, either al which eminen t men would have done ample justice to its topics, if e lf , opportunity could have been found for the hearing., Of this extraordinary petition, intrusted to two 0 01 ! sound Reformers, one of the allegations c ited by di* Times is, " That her Majesty's Ministers found the eei lonics of North America in a state of tranquillity an it that they brought them into one of insurr e c tion?' may be hard to require from the Glasgow oporatii th or from the Conservative young gcntlerven of its fat e : famed University, a knowledge of ancient history r tending so far back as 1830. But the propositit that Canada was in a more tranquil state than it: now, would have been somewhat difficult kr t h" two ingenious lawyers to maintain. There is, .b e ,; ever, another complaint—" that the Ministers suffered the decay of the strength of Brit."'" in her navy—that the shores of Eugland aref Oro protected—and that other Powers are now enabled t„ insult the country with impunity, and to endange;_,l" existence !" This part of the petition affords a stoic!" proof of the power of reiterated falsehoods on that P el o i tion of the nation, which possesses no other means information of such matters than is derived fre er reading such journals as the Times. The Giese, operatives, of course, knew nothing of the state of of navy than what they read in the newspapers. Sonia, these, led by the Times, had been writing for three r e four years on the inefficiency of the navy ; and on authority the petitioners believed that Brighton rin tl i j be bombarded, and a French or Russian fleet w° s 1 sweep the Thames, like Van Tromp ! It is wel l t i h those who had the management of affairs in Fi•enee not attach the same importance to these statemeela but it is not surprising that the French papers 0 1 °_,,, e copy, and that the French populace should believe, t 1"; It was quite natural that the fall of Acre should be counted for as effected by the influence of Evg!ish geoi when the journals of an important party insisted u Pf e our inability to use any other metal; and the en s e s i t t deuce with which some of the French sailors are . 01 0 to have spoken of just fetching the British fleet i nto Toulon, would have been no more than reasonabl e. er g there been any foundation for those inspudent as'hy tions which the Times calls " melanchoty ape nourable truths ;" and from which it says " the Pe' ip o tioners came legitimately to the conclusion , by p ro 55t! that your Honourable House will address her WWI to dismiss from her councils such dangerous ad'iise g* (From the Standard.) If the opinion of th e p e ople of Paris be ' adopt ,„r in regard to the fortification question, it is n c ' t 111 7sse sonable to expect that their ambition to makie„tetle upon their neighbours will in due time be a,utirteds however contrary to reason and justice, by -MIA as deferential to popular fallacies as Marshva' .cue The speech of Marshal Soult seems to be o .le fol l in Paris as likely to create another ni t 9 l d iooll crisis, but we have no such apprehension • -Or ' although he has attempted to vindicate th Or sistency of his military opinions, he has, Aef intents and purposes, supported the delusion % t ot boar. It was in vain that M. de Lamartine an'; sa fe, members of the Chamber represented that the 4, guard of a nation consists in the spirit and ga llanii id its population, rather than in stone walls, an cit .li° when o the former fail the latter prove of little ' O l O project in all its naked absurdity is still likely ed' carried out ; although Marshal Soult astutely' r, e6 „sfr mends that the forts on the heights shall be fi•l' - pleted !
