SHETLAND STOCKINGS, GLOVES, and WORSTED, all the Natural Colour of the Sheep, 6 which, for Comfort, are not to be equalled by any other de scription of Stocking or Glove. Their best recommendation is, that those who once begin to wear them never wish to give them up. They are alike suitable for all classes, all ages, all climates, and all seasons, on account of the various qualities in which they are made. To invalids and delicate people they are peculiarly adapted, as they can have them so soft and elastic as not to pro duce the slightest irritation. It is now generally allowed that the health of females has been much injured by the want of Woollen Clothing, especially of Warm Stockings. Indeed, by far the greater part of pul monary complaints, toothaches, and rheumatisms, may be traced to the neglect of keeping the feet dry and warm. For aged an d d e li ca t e peop l e it is necessary that they should, for their comfort, wear two pairs at once ; and, in point of eco nomy, experience has shown that two pairs worn together will wear longer than two pairs worn separately. To guide those at a distance in sending orders, the following are the prices of the qualities most generally in use, although they can be had both much coarser and finer : Ladies' White, Brown, and Grey Stockings from 2s. 6d. to .ss. Gentlemen's 2s. 6d. to ss. half Is. to 2s. Knitted-Shirts and Drawers 6s. to 10s. Nightcaps 10d. to 2s. Thin Elastic Sleeping Stockings. Ladies', Gentlemen's, and Children's Gloves, in a great va riety of qualities. The size of the Stockings wanted should be mentioned by the number of inches, when there is not a pattern stocking sent : it would be proper at the same time to order worsted to mend them. Low priced Stockings, very suitable for giving to the poor,— Men's, Women's, and Children's sizes. Shetland Knitted Shawls in various sizes, very soft and light, which may be worn on all occasions by any one, but will be found particularly agreeable by invalids and aged people.

The Queen's speech and the public opinion was set at defiance. ------ POCKET-PICKING AT THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.—The Magistrates' time at the Queen.equare Police Officee yesterday, was occupied long after the usual h our of s i tting i (five o'clocl) in disposing of charges of picking pockets i n t h e Park and facing the :houses of Parliament, There were all thirteen prisoners, ri j. the 0 t m h r s at receiving e c b e o i v y g minorTh e majority punishments. a The doors leading to the galleries and body of the House of Lords were, as usual, on the occasion of the opening of Parliament, thrown open at twelve o'clock, and all the seats reserved for Ladi2e who had been favoured with tickets from the Lord Chamberlain were filled in about half an hour. Most of the Ladies in the body of the House were iu mourn. ing, but there was a sprinkling of other colours, with Court plunies and diamonds, which gave a pleasing variety to the brilliant spectacle. The Throne and Canopy appeared to have been tegilt, and a carpet of a very rich and beautiful pattern, similar to that used at. the Coronation, was placed upon the steps leading to the Throne. At one o'clock all the scats appropriated to Peeresses in the body of the House were occupied, and Sir Augustus Clif ford, who performed his microns duties with his usual urba nity, had much difficulty in preventing encroachments upon the front benches reserved for the Peers. Lord Wynford was the first Pecr who entered the House. He appeared to walk with great difficulty, and required the support of two persons to conduct him to his scat. The Duke of Somerset, the Marquis of Sligo, Earl Ripon, the Earl of Devon, Mar quis of Lansdowne, and the Duke of Cambridge, were among the first Peers who took their seats. At half-past one o'clock several of the Judges in their state robes entered the House and took their seats on the cross benches in front of the Woolsack. The space railed off for the Foreign Ambassadors was completely packed, and presented the usual brilliant dis play of orders, decorations, and showy uniforms. We do not recollect any similar occasion on which the House was so crowded in every part. A number of Peeresses, who could not obtain seats, were obliged to stand in the window recesses and behind the seats in the side gallery. At a quarter past two, the firing of guns and the distant shouts of the populace announced the arrival of the Royal Procession; and shortly afterwards her Majesty entered the House. She was preceded by the Heralds and the Great Officers of State, incieding Lord Melbourne with the Sword of State, the Earl of Shaftesbury with the Cap of Maintenance, the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Ar gyle, the Earl of Errol, the Lord Chancellor, &c. Her Majesty, who was attended by her Ladies in Waiting and Pages of Honour, wore her Crown, A n d a splendid robe et' white satin, richly trimmed with gold lace. Her earrings, necklace, and stomacher were composed of magnificent bril liants. After taking her seat on the Throne, the crithson vel vet state mantle was placed upon her shoulders, and hav ing desired the Peers and Peeresses, who had risen on her entrance to be seated, the Usher of the Black Rod was di rected to summon the House of Commons to the Bar. During the pause which here took place her Majesty con versed with Lord Melbourne, who stood on her left hand. She looked pale, and it appeared to us that the Crown was rather large for her head, covering her forehead, and destroying much of the expression of her face. Lord Mel bourne seemed in good health and spirits, and previously to her Majesty's entrance laughed and joked with several of the Peers and Peeresses. The Speaker, in his State robes, accompanied by as Many Members as could be crowded into the space below the bar, having presented himself, and bowed to the Queen, the Lord Chancellor on his knee presented the speech, which her Majesty road in her usual clear and impressive manner as follows : Me Loses Astb GENTLEME*, I rejoice to ilibet yoll Again ih Parliament. lam particularly de sirobS df itchrring to your advice and assistance at a period when filthy matters of great importance demand your serious and deliberate attention. I continue to receive from Foreign Powers gratifying assurances of their desire to maintain with me the most friendly relations. I have concluded with the Emperor of Austria a Treaty of Com merce, which, I trust, will extend and improve the intercourse be. tween my subjects and those of the Emperor. I have also concluded a Treaty of the same kind with the Sultan, calculated to place the commercial relations between my dominions and the Turkish Empire upon a better and more secure footing. I have directed copies of those Treaties to ba laid before you. I have bean engaged, in concert with Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia, in negociations, with a view to a final settlement of the differences between Holland and Belgium. A definitive treaty of peace, founded upon anterior arrangements, which have been acceded to by both parties, has, in consequence, been proposed to the Dutch and Belgian Governments. I have the satisfaction to inform you that the Dutch Government has already signified to the Conference Its acceptance of that treaty, and 1 trust that a similar announcement from the Belgian Government will put in end to that disquietude which the present unsettled state of these affairs has necessarily produced. The warranty of the five Allied Powers affords satisfactory secu. rity for the preservation of peace. I lament the continuance of the civil war in Spain, which engages my anxious and undiminished attention. Differences which have arisen have occasioned the retirement of my Minister from the Court of Teheran. I indulge, however, the hope of learning that a satisfactory adjustment of these differences will allow of the reestablishment of my relations with Persia upon their former footing of friendship. Events connected with the same differences have induced the Go vernor-General of India to take measures for protecting British in. terests in that quarter of the world, and to enter into engagements, the fulfilment of which may render military operations necessary. For this purpose such preparations have been made as may be suffi. cient to resist aggression from any quarter, and to maintain the in. tegrity of my Eastern dominions. The Reform and Amendment of the Municipal Corporations of Ireland are essential to the interest of that part of my dominions. It is also urgent that you should apply yourselves to the prosecu tion and completion of those measures which have been recom mended by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England, for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the Established Church, and of confirming its hold upon the affectioirand respect of my people. The better enforcement of the law, and the more speedy adminis tration of justice, are of the first importance to the welfare of the community; Arid I feel assured that you will be anxious to devote yourselves to the examination of the measures which will be submit. ted to you (or the purpose of attaining these beneficial results. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, I havedirected the annual Estimates to be prepared and laid before you. Adhering to the principles of economy, which it is my desire to enforce in every department of the State, I feel it my duty to recom_ mend that adequate provision be made for the exigencies of the pub lic service. I fullrrely on your loyalty and patriotism to maintain the efficiency of those Establishments, which are essential to the strength and security of the country. MT LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, It is with great satisfaction that I am enabled to inform you that, throughout the whole of soy West Indian Posspsions, the period fixed by law for the final and coirplete Emancipation of the Negroes has been anticipated by Acts of the Colonial Legislatures; and that the transition from the temporary system of Apprentice ship to entire freedom has taken place without any disturbance of public order and tranquillity. Any measures which may be no_ cm in order to give full effect to this gre it and beneficial change, will, I have no doubt receive your careful at , ention. I have to acquaint you with deep concern that the province of Lower Canada has again been disturbed by insurrection, and that hostile incursions have been made into Upper Canada by certain lawless inhabitants of the United States of North America. These violations of the peace have been promptly suppressed by the valour of my forces and the loyalty of my Canadian subjects. The President of the United States has called upon the citizens of the Union to abstain from proceedings so incompatible wills the friendly relations which subsist between Great Britain and the United States. hare directed full Information upon all these matters to be laid before you, and I recommend the present state of these provinces to your serious consideration. I rely upon you to support my firm de termination to maintain the authority of my Crown, and I trust that your wisdom will adopt such measures as will secure to those parts of thy einpire the benefit of Internal tranquillity, and the full advantages of their own great natural resources. I have observed with pain the p( rsevering efforts which have been made, In some parts of the country, to excite my subjects to dis obt'dience and resistance to the law, and to recommend dangerous and illegal practices. For the counteraction of all such designs I depend upon the efficacy of the law, which it will be my duty to enforce— upon the good sense and right disposition of my people —upon their attachment to the principles of justice, and their abhorrence of vio lence and disorder, I confidently commit all these great, interests to your wisdom, and I Implore Almighty Ood to assist a nd p rosper your counsels. Her Majesty and her attendants then retired in the same order in which they had entered the House. The Gallery was re-opened at a Quarter to Five o'clock. The attendance of Peers was more numerous than usual, at so early an hour, Among the Peers who were first in their places, were Earl Durham and the Duke of Wellington. The number of Opposition Peers then present, was much greater than that of the Ministerial. Not one of the Mini sters had made their appearance. At Five o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack. The Earl of Lovelace, the Noble Lord who moved the Address, and Lord Lyndhurst were at that time in the House The Duke of Cambridge was also present. The Earl of Lovelace, together with Lord Vernon, the seconder of the Address, wore their respective uniforms as Lords Lieutenant or Deputy Lieutenants of Counties. Earl Durham took his seat on the back bench of all, near the bar, and behind one of the stoves, exactly vis-a-vis to the position occupied by Lord Lyndhurst. Lord Brougham entered the House shortly after five. Upon the LORD CHANCELLOR'S commencing to read her Majesty's Gracious Speech, The Earl of DURHAM rose and said—My Lords, I have a question to put to the Noble Viscount at the heed of her Majesty's Government previous to the reading of her Majesty's Speech.—(Some Noble Lord, we believe, whis pered that it was not in order.) I believe, my Lords, I am in order. Lord BROUGHAM—Hear, hear—no doubt of it. Earl of DURHAM—My Lords, I wish to ask the Noble viscount when it is his intention to lay upon the table that information respecting the affairs of Canada which has been refer] e I to in her Maj-sty's Speech ?, Lord MELBOURNE—My Lords, that information will be laid before your Lordships almost immediately; but part of that information was of such a nature, that it could not be laid upon the table by the authority of Ministers, until Ministers themselves had the opportunity of examining into its contents. The Earl of DURHAM—My Lords, my obser vation referred to the Report I presented as Lord High Commissioner, and the dispatches I addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonial De partment. I understood that they would be laid upon the table to-day. I am aware that not a very long time has elapsed since Ministers were put in possession of them, but I think a sufficient period . to enable the m t o j u d ge whether they should form a portion of the information to be communicated to the house or not. Ido not ask them for any decision upon it, but I should hope that the report would be placed upon the table at the earliest pos sible period, confident as I am that it will sh ow I h ave redeemed the pledges which I gave in this House, and that I have zealously d;seharged my duty to my Sovereign and to my country. Lord MELBOURNE—The dispatches will be laid upon the table without delay. The report it is the intention of Ministers to lay upon the table, but that report was only re ceived in form at the Colonial•ofhiice yesterday evening, and the appendix has not even yet been received, and it is necessary that the Ministry should have some time to consider it before they, upon their own responsibility, lay it before the House.—(Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") There is no intention whatever to withhold that report or any other information which, when it is laid upon the table of the House, will no doubt amply answer the description which the Noble Lord has given of it. Earl of DURHAM—My Lords, I beg it may be under stood that though only a few hours may h ive elapsed since Ministers had an opportunity of reading the report officially signed, that yet the proof-sheets of that report have been in their possession since Thursday last. Lord BItOUG H A M —My Lords, nothing can be more certain than that both parties have acquitted themselves in the most honourable manner. Ministers cannot be expected to lay papers before the House which they have not had time to consider ; and, on the other hand, nothing can be more honourable and natural than the anxiety of my Noble Friend behind me (Earl Durham) that the earliest oppor tunity should be given to the country to judge of his state. ments. The LORD CHANCELLOR baying read the Royal Speech from the Woolsack, and , the Clerk having again re ad it from the table, The Earl of LOVE LA CE moved the Address. His Lordship spoke in a hurried and indistinct manner, but the following will be found to be the substance of his speech : —My Lords, he said, I rise to move a humble Address from the Members of this House, in return for the gracious Speech which hag just been read; and I do it without fear, for nothing but the as assurance that it is impossible that I would encoue ter any opposition, would have induced me to un • dertake that Office. It is not, however, my in tention to detain this House for any length of time, for, in the first place, the topics arc but few on which it will necessary to touch; and, in the next place, although re glig ilouse it comprises a great varied of kulgreeets, I am certain a perecct unanimity will, most probably, prevail on the subjects on which I shall have to ad tress them ; and I should be sorry to go into such details as would endanger the expression of any difference of opinion. We learn, my Lords, I ant happy to say ; from her Majesty's Speech, that her Majesty has received from the several fireign Powers the expression of a perfectly liar monious feeling, and that there is reason to believe that the termination of all matters of difference is rapidly approach ing. It is gratifying more particularly to learn that trea ties hire been effected with Austria and Turkey, by which those regulations, that have proved so vexatious to our mer chants, and by which our commerce ins been crippled, will be put an end to. With Austria the stipulations that have been effected will afford to British enterprise the op portunity of supplying the wants of thirty-four millions of persons, occupying a great variety of soil and climate ; and when I look at the geographical eitua tion of the people of this country, and their present state, it nttt•t be admitted no treaty could be more oppor- , tune. The continuance of the war hi the Peninsula is to be much lamented; and high as the price which is paid by the calamities of the people,_ it is to be regeetted advan tages have not been secured to the people of that country, But let us hope that the lessons inculcated by this unavailing *ate Will not be thrown away. The only exception to the peace of the relations of the country abroad adverted to in the Speech was With refe rence to the operations that had taken place between India • and Persia, but he Ousted that circumstances would arise which would put an end to those diffetenees, No blame could be attached to her Majesty's Governmerit far what had taken place.—(Cheers• ) If their Lordships looked at the internal condition of the country, there was much that was subject of congratulation. The commercial treaties of the country with the United States he trusted to eee placed upon a firm basis. He was sorry to see tile high price of the first necessary of life which he considered was attributable to the laws regulating the importation of corn ; and her Majesty's Ministers were not to blame fer not having given the subject a prominent place in her Majesty's Speech. Considering the excited state of the public mind on this subject, and considering also the pro priety of not taking any step on the subject that would create alarm, he was glad that her Majesty had not been advised to dopt any defined course upon the subject. He was clearly of opinion that the subject should _ _ be left to time.—(Hear, hear, and cheers ) Great as had been the distress in consequence of the high prices, it had been much modified by the provisions of the Poor Law Bill.—( Hear, hear.) He was glad to find that although wages had not risen in the proportion that it was desirable they should have done, there was a disposition on the part of the employer to consider th c condition of the labourers. A measure founded on the basis of the Poor Law Amendment Act had been passed last Session for Ireland, and it was satisfactory that no sooner was it known in that country, and the officers appointed under it than they were received with respect by the people; and that so much assistance had been afforded to them. It showed that the people had confidence in the Executive Government—the pass ing of a law which was intended for the benefit of all classes, and the preventing of destitution, was sure to show the people that their Lordships were fully alive to the necessities of the people. He un -derstood that a measure would be proposed to their Lordships as soon as the report of the Railway Commissioners was laid on the table, and he had no doubt that that measure, if properly carried out, would do much good to that unfortunate country. The passing of such a measure would go a great way to con tent the people, and attach to their Lordships their affec tions. Their Lordships had heard so much of the Reform of the Church Establishment on the subject of the Irish Mut,i cipal Corporations, and the reforms necessary in the adminis tration of the law, that it would be idle in him to take up their Lordships' time by saying a word upon them, the more especially as he believed their Lordships did not object to the principles of the measure which had been offered to them so much as to the amount of reform contained in those measures. Another subject not mentioned in the Speech he considered of much importance, he meant the subject of the education of the people. Some parties had objection to the education of the lower classes generally, and others would limit it by religious restrictions. He hoped that the measure to be proposed would receive their Lordships' sanction upon sueh a broad basis as would not deprive any man of its advantages because they were Dissenters from the tenets of the Church. Their Lordships must, along with him self, have been happy to heat of that bloodless re volution which had taken place in our Colonies. Those who were slaves had become apprentices, and the ap prentices had become freemen without one drop of blood hav ing been shed. The country had something to boast of, because they had done that which the descendants of those who signed the declaration of independence were afraid to do.— ( Hear.) With respect to the Canada question, as it must come again before the House, he would do no more than say that he was sorry that the Act of last Session had interrupted the labours of the Noble Earl, who lately governed them, calcu lated as those measures were to give peace tp the whole of our North American territories. He would no longer occupy the attention of their Lordships. He thanked them for their attention, and concluded by moving that an Address be presented to her Majesty, which, as usual, was an echo of the Speech. Lord VERNON said the whole of the subjects treated of in the Speech had been so fully and so ably discussed by the Noble Earl, that their Lordships might have considered his duty done by merely seconding the Address, but he trusted that the House would give its attention for a few minutes, while he said a few words upon a subject which was of much importance, and one almost of a hereditary nature to him. He alluded to the state of our Navy. Their Lordships would be most happy to find that those reports, which had found their way into those channels through which public credulity was usually assailed, had been so ably—so fully—and so truly contradicted by that high public officer, Sir John Barrow. All who knew him must be perfectly satisfied with his denial that our arsenals were without stores, and that our Navy was unable to cope with that •of an ceemy. The Naval Services of the country, notwithstanding all that had been said, had never been on so enlarged a scale in the time of peace as at present.—( Cheers.) He reiretted to see a diminution of the Marine Artillery and the Coast Blockade, but he could not but fool gratified at the prospects of peace that were before the county from the treaties be tween it and foreign Powers. It was to be hoped the Corn-law question would be settled at an early period, and that restrictions on that staple commodity of life would be re moved. He thought it vain to stave off that question, and as a proof of that he need only advert to what had taken place upon the Reform and Slavery questions. He was sorry to hear of the disturbances that had taken place in the north, and it was only attributable to the wise forbearance of the Government that evil results had not taken place. —( Cheers.) He hoped that the prospects of Ireland would be considerably ameliorated in the course of the present Session ; by a firm and generous policy towards that country, her complaints might be allayed, and that unfortunate country rendered equal in right to England. He was glad to find that the rebellion had been suppressed in Canada.—( Hoar, hear.) For the sake of the Canadians themselves ho -trusted that the winter of their discontent would be turned into bright summer by the wisdom of Parliament. He congratulated the House upon the aspect of the West India Colonies. The change which had taken place there, in the abolition of of the Slave Trade was worthy of a country like England. The treaties lately concluded with Austria and Persia valuable as they were, and gratifying in a commercial point of view, were still more valuable as furnishing an a dditional reason for anticipating the duration of peace in Europe, and even eventually in India too. He rejoiced in this event, but while we rejoiced at the wise and equitable principles comprised in these treaties, let U 3 not fail, in duty to our selves, lest while we established a system of reciprocity with other countries, England's glory should pass away. On this account the Corn-laws merited early attentior. Ha hoped that this question would be early settled, in such a way as to redound to the advantage of all classes of the community, particularly in such a way as that the evils of restriction should not fall on the agricultural interests If means were not taken to prevent the supply of food to th poor failing, we should violate the first prin. ciples of Christianity, and incur a fearful responsibility. It was not his intention to enter into what was called the Corn question, at this moment. He only wislicdtoinrly press upon the House the necessity of coming to an ea settlement of that question. He was one o ithose who con sfdered it perfectly safe to stave off that question for a fur ther period. The Catholic question, and that connected wit's the Slave Trade, if - sot carried by agitation and ex citement, were carried in the midst of them. It would not be wise to teach the people the doctrine, that by agitation such questions could be carried at all times. It seemed also peculiarly ill-timed to bring on the discussion of this question now, A 1 I O agriculture hadjasteb,oeenr.ealw i• The tverief a by the opi.7etion of the new or. , with aut eau, all , . < • some means en evfatinre however, has ?ere suffering. a Tin.," were so ,tonne not been effected rted ' must be found.

It w as ' a subject of much regret that national feeling en d pr, ,,,_ found ignorance had led to the disturbances o f w .m ehe they liari such reason to complain, but which, by tho care • and attention of the Government, had been fortunately sup pressed. In every instance the exertions of her Majesty's troops had been anticipated by the exertions and the loyalty of the people.

He would . not .• . trepass further on their Lordships' patience at present, but he thanked their Lordships for their attention, and if he had saiii anything calculated to disturb the unanimity that;. prevailed amongst them, he was sorry for it, and he claimed their indulgence for himself, if he had given utterance to words offensive to the feelings of any one. . Lord HARDWICK rose to give a notice which he thought might perhaps supersede a discussion at the present moment on ono topic. Ile gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he should draw the attention of their Lordships to the state of Canada.—( Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON—My Lords, I ri s e to state that I make no objection to the Speech from the Throne, or the motion for the Address made by the Noble Earl (Lovelace), in a very able speech—( Hear, hear)._.. and seconded by the Noble Lord ( Vernon), in a speech of equal ability.—( Hear, hear.) My Lords, various subjects have been brought under your contemplation. I beg leave to address myself to the motion made by the Noble Earl for an Address to the queen, rather than to any other of those eub j ects which have been adverted to by b ot h N oble Lords in their speeches.—(llear.) My Lords, I think it is well that the Address submitted to you has nothing to say to the Corn-laws, to the Poor-laws in England or Ire land, to education, to the state of the navy, to the return of a NuLle Earl from his mission in a distant part of the world, and to many other topics adverted to by the Noble Earl, and by the Noble Lord who seconded the Address, . but which may properly become the subject of discussion in this [louse hereafter, but which, in my opinion, it would be injudicious now to ,discuss.—( Hear, hear.) What w e have now to do is with the Speech from the Throne, and the motion for an Address, and to these I shall address myself, and endeavour to draw your Lordships' attention.. My Lords, I entirely concur with the Noble Lords,. end likewhe rrith the Address and the Speech, in congratnlat- ing your Lordships on the statements which have been made with regard to the peace between Holland and Belgium ; and the unanirnees concurrence of the Five Allied Powers in that treaty.—( Hear, hear.) My Lords, I hope, however, that it will never be lost sight of in their country that the original foundation of Belgium as a sepa- < rate and independent Kingdom, and that the condition ' • connected with that, as I conceive it to have been agreed - to by the Noble Earl, the predecessor of the Noble Via.. - • ' count opposite, and which, I repeat, I hope will never' liu -z lost sight of in this or any other - country.—( Hear.) m y ; .. Lords, I allude to the commercial treaties, and the improve- -' ments which have taken place in our commercial relations,, ~ and other relations. In respect to our commercial relations with Austria, the Noble Lord is mistaken in sup; . posing that this commercial treaty contains, in ~ • the principal part of it, any alteration from '-- the former treaty, excepting one most important conditiotr - —the free navigation of the Danube. That arrangement - .• has been added to the treaty ; and, as I sa id, it is a most important arrangement. But, in respect to other subjects; ,r adverted to by the Noble Lord, there as no alteration. My< : , e , , , e < Lords, the next question adverted to in the Speech, tcs - e - e"...e'„.:) , ::<e. which the Noble Lords do not appear to have given much ' eeeeeee. - ' fee attention, though they moved an answer in the Address-salt. e a f....., Ace- --•-• the state of affairs in the East. My Lords, it is impossible - : : :77` .-- - -- r:[ - • -- for me, or for any of your Lordships, so little acquainted. - as we must necessarily be with the subject, to give any opi- , - nion upon a question so complicated. I conclude the Bust • Indian Government will consider it their duty to give thin - and the other House of Parliament, and the public, all the information they have upon the subject, to enable .ueito, judge of this most important matter. I shall advert to presently, in drawing your attention to' the actuation of the country as involved in a very extensive systefn of warfare; but ' I will not attempt to Warp or to approve:, "cif transactions.. of which I • can know norhirea .s. xcepting what is m ent i one d in the Speech, and from the 'common sources-of informa tion. My Lords, in a former Session of Parlirament I re cognised tjm principle of a system of Municipal Corpora tions for Ireland, founded upon popular elections ; in the last Session such a Bill was brought in, and war , sent down to the other House of Parliament, was there am en d e d , „ d was sent up again to this House, but ne ver passed. m y Lords, I cannot avoid observing circumstances in the stn. . of Ireland materially a ff ec ti ng thi s quest i on , b ut I do not: consider it just to depart from the principle I then laid down ; and all I can say upon that subject is that I consider myself bound to discuss, with a view of perfecting • aiar • system which the Government might propose for such a l ' purpose. I may however observe, to prevent any dispute upon . • the words "essential to the interests of that part ofir,3 , ( Lewd_ . nions," that the word " essential" in the Address with Z . 'ega.tti - ' --2 • - '-.'- I-7, to Municipal Corporations for Ireland must be understood' ' - '• II as no more than admitting the principle of Municipal. ' . Corporations for that country. My Lords, upon the other • two subjects adverted to by the Speech, and upon which - -ea- measures will be presented to Parliament, I shall be dis posed to consider those measures with a view to giving , • every assistance to rendering them as perfect as possible.. - • I will not pledge myself to principles, and I must say that the paragraphs in the Address—for instance, " the better enforcement of the law, and the more speedy administration of justice"—are so loosely worded, that it is impossible for mo to know what is intended, or what can be made them—( Hear, hear, and laughter)—and u n d er these c .° - cumstances I cannot be expected to say more than that ar i will give them, when brought forward, every consideration in my power. My Lords, nobody can r e j o i ce more thatl do at the termination of the question of West lndia slavery. Although the motion ma d e b y t h e Noble noel er Learned Lord opposite (Lord Brou g h am ) , f or accel the period at which this measu re was to be earrie d aling• execution, was not agreed to by the I mper i a l Parliament, the Colonial Legislatures, who were th e b est judges upon ' th subject, have tho ug ht p roper t o acce l erate the period. I , hope they may be successful. I anxiously look to the re- - sult of that measure to see whether we have destroyed our property in those colonies—fur it comes to that —or whether we shall have placed it upon a fixed and solid basis, by , „,- - establishing the freedom o f l a b our.
