to The subiect of Parliamentary Reform ; and ob served that that cause had ever been warmly sup ported by the Noble Lord opposite. The lion. Member here read a paper, dated FM,. signed by the Noble Lord, pledging himself to support a Bill for amending the representation of the people. To that Noble Lord he would say, in the language of Pym to Lord Strafford, that the penple Would never leave him so long as lie had 'a head upon his shoulders; though he (Mr. H.) wanted neither his head nor his place. lie would .beg to remind the Noble Lord of the expression of ,the.great___Lord Chathana,Twhen speaking of th - at 'cc . If' this . House" said that Noble , 4-4.- Witluot - reforn itself within, it will ,':niitely be re.forMed,from . without." 'The Noble I.,ord.haitsa-.solenm...warning- from the people al- Host -every aii=ght - ; and most sincerely did he that his Lordship and his. col 12agnes,wouldtake'that warning; and would-be, gin the work . olConcillation_hy restoring her Ma jeaty.'s, narne.tcethe Liturgy. LOrti Eacit said., he should, offer but a, ~ ‘,cry feW: words;:.and those upon only one of 4 . the. topics touched upon in the Hon.• Member's spreCh. it will that which related to the sup poSed stipport which he had ziven in early life to the cause of Pailiamentary Reform. The pa per read- by ~the Honourable Member referred to. a - .iteform ire . the Commons, and he ad mitted, that if the Irish Parliament existed with the state •of things. which then existed also, he would: support a Bill for the Reform of•that Par, liarnent, though he believed he never should ar . rive -at that standard or excellence of the Hon. Member=indiVitinal Suffrage and Annual Par liaMents. It was in consequence of a law paSsed in the Irish Parliament, conceding the Election Franchise to the Irish Catholics, that he declared he never for the future would support the cause of. Parliamentary Reform in that country. Mr, Hortiobsa explained. • Sir JOJIN NEWPORT said, that the Noble Lord supported the cause of Parliamentary Reforni until he got into office, and then he supported it rso-longer.—(A laugh, and cries of hear, hear !) —The Noble Lord had indeed advocated the cause of a Radical Reform in the Irish Parlia rrr'nf, for he had _ left Ireland without a Podia ment.—(Hear, hear.)—He had severed the Par- Lament from the People, and consequently the Parliament fell.--(Cheers.)—lt was an awful lesson Tor that House ; for the same person was pursuing the same course with the Parliament of Pngland.—(Cheers :from the Opposition.)—lle Lad ObServed the Noble Lord from his entrance into public life; and he felt a strong convicti on 'that the measures of the Noble. Lord _would bring the. country to destruction.—(Hear, hear, hear !) Lord CA3TLERF.AGii explained. He meant not the least disrespect to the Right Hon. Baronet, but he certainly should not break his heart be cause the Right Hon. Baronet did riot approve of hirmeasures.—(A laugh.)—He was content that posterity should decide upon his conduct, and he had no fear that the opinion of the Right Hon. i3.aronet would influence that of.posterity. lie could assure the Right Hon. Baronet, that upon -tbe Tresente,ubject he (Sir John Vewport) was in .a confounded scrape.(Laughter.)--The Right "Hod: Baronet 'had said that he (Lord Castle reagh) had given up his opinions on Parliamen la'ry Reform on getting into office. Now. the fact was, that he had publicly declared he should Jig: longer support the cause of Parliamentary Reform, at least five years before he was in any ; way connected with the Government. With this explanation, he would leave it . to the House to form an opinion of the candour of the Right Hon baronet's statement. Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) said, he would re fer the Right Hon. Baronet to an authority which could not be disputed-0 - 12a of the late Mr. Pon sonby. Mr. Ponsonby had declared he would suppori the cause of Parliamentary Reform in Ireland, but that on no account would he consent to a I Reform of the House of CommonS of Eng land, vshich he thought really and truly repre sented the people.—(A laugh from the Opposi tion.)—lte could assure the House lie heard it with-his ears.—(Latigliter, in the course of which tY.-! Ifen. Member sat down.) Petition Was then brought up, and on the question being put that it should be read, Sir .TpuN NEWPORT rose in explanation.—The Hon . . Member opposite had spoken of the ad riitted for Refoyili in the Irish House of. Comthons. lie (Sil' J". N.) admitted that ne- cesity, but he was sure . . that noman had done more td-render the House in question venal and coy-re pt than the Noble Lord opposite. Lord CASTT,EREAGIf rose to order.—ffe had ,hoped Cli, : eßightjHon. Baronet's first warmth had .sUbsided. He would put it to the House whe ther- such . language could be tolerated. His 7...0rd.:di11) repeated that he was never connected With any party in Ireland, and he considered.the attack•of the RiOt Han. Baronet; an unworthy hterfuge. Sir Joni New:Portz explained again. —After which . the Peti;ion was .read, .and ordered to be oil the tahie and printed. Mr. II ,u; .then presented two.other.Pe titions. tO .t he same effect as the,last Petition ; ale first. frdin.tile Bricklayers of London and its e)lvirons;.and the second frOm the Bookbinders of London and Westininstei..,--Which Petitions were disposed of in the same manner As, the former Petitions, • Sir FIiANCIS 3LAK presented a petition from 13iLs constituents, the inhabitants of Berwick-upon- Tweed, in Guildhall assembled. 'fife petition VraS to the same effect as the former petitions; _ _ and.tbe ' lion. Member, after few prefatory ob sPivatiOnsaid fie had a question to ask (.?1* li Tolitjesty's Ministers, 4 ; which," laid the Hon. Memher, " whether they answer it now or here- after, or• not at all, is of little consequence."— (A. laugh.),--it was, whether if her Majesty's name had. remained in the. Liturgy at the time of What was improperly called her technical acquit ta-1, they would have expunged it afterwards 1— iVear,.hear, hear !). The petition : was supported by the other Iron. tuber• far Berwick- in a few words, was then brought up, read, aud, ordered, to lie on the t LW? & Id be printed'. Lord Foi.xsToNE gave notice, at the instance of his iron. Frlend, then absent, the Member for Appleby (Mr. Creevey), that lie would on-Tues day next tqlhatit a motion to the House, relative to the conduct of the High Sherif of,Cheshire. Mr. Baotloni)t presented a Petition from the Inhabitants, Gentry,,,Cl4;u:.gy, and "Freeholders of Kendal, praying fo,r_,the restoration of the Queen's name to the Likurgy);';--Qrdi)red - tol?e.printed. Mc. R. GILANT y presented a .simitar Petition from some hart of the Cotinty of Inverness.—Or dered to be printed. RESTORATION OF THE Q'TEEN'S NAME TO TIM LITURGY. Mr. J. SMITH, in rising, pursuant to notice, to ti _ submit -a !motion, begged to remind the 'louse `that he had the honour to present a Petition to them, not .long. since, from a very large and im portant body, imploring that House to adopt, in their wisdom, such measures, as should be the means of - restoring the country to that tranquil lity which it had so long been a stranger to. That Petition-spoke his own sentiments, and he acted in unison with them in the motion he was about to bring forward relative to the restoration .of the Queen's name to the Liturgy. In coming forward on this occasion he - . llas performing a, part of his duty towards those: Petitioners to whom that, tranquillity they prayed for was more important, perhaps, than to any other body in the kingdom ; ;And these, he solemnly assert ed, were his only motives for bringing forward this motion. Ile was desirous - tp avoid e er y other topic than that to which his motion directly referred. It was his duty to express his opi uions on recent transactions, and he should ho nestly do so, He begged to call the .attention of the House to that petiiod of the last' year when the Ministers of the Crown advised his Majesty to omit the Queen's name from the Liturgy: lie had endeavoured on many, oecasions to collect, from the avowal of Gentlemen on the other side of the House, and particularly from the Noble Lord (Lord Castlereagh) what were the motives which induced his Majesty's Government to adopt that determination ; but he never had- been., able to comprehend their precise reasons for this. So much had been said. as to the unfairness and cruelty of this step, under the peculiar circum stances of the case, and was so well known and admitted by all, that he should not urge any thing in support of that judgment. Although there was much difference of opinion both in and out of that House on many points connected with that subject, ha solemnly protested that he had never met with - more than one person who-ap proved of the measure. It would appear the more extraordinarY and Incomprehensible, when the House recollected, that if there was any thing in which Ministers had explicitly explained their motives for their conduct, it was in avowing their decided wish that her Majesty should live abroad. fie (Mr. Smith) never complained of them for this. He would h av e re j o i ce d if h er Majesty had remained abroad, as all those disturbances which had of late agitated the nation would have, been spared. But how had it , happened, that with this anxious desire, Government had adopt ed the only measure which . could make it.impos sible for their wi s h es t o be compliech - Avitb.— (Hear !)---He had heard, and he be-lieved from the Noble Lord opposite, himself, that they had adopted this measure from ,the continuance of rumours which travellers brought from foreign countries. lie (Mr. S.) bad heard rumours "in common with others, both at Paris and in Lon don ; but he begged the House particularly to iemark,that not one of those which he had heard had been made matter of accusation against her Majesty. He was justified, therefore, in the in ference, that they were totally false. He might here remark, that persons in high rank were at• all times, and in all places, liable to be attacked by calumny. lie must, on the whole, consider that there could not have been a worse reason alleged than' thie existence of rumours for the adoption of this m e asu re .— . _ It was not his intention to travel into the evi dence. It was odious and diSgusting to every body. Tie begged the House to go along with him to the moment of her Majesty's trial. That trial, as they all knew, had occupied a very con siderable time, and, at length, in the last stage of the Bill of Pains and Penalties, the Noble Earl at the head of the Administration in the other• [louse found himself in. a majority of nine.— What the Noble Earl said on that evening, as be understood, was, that the preamble of the Bill had been proved, and now under the circum stance of so small a majority, he would not press the Bill any further , and he himself moved the rejection of it. The true reason why he did not press it was, that he felt that it never would have been endured, either by that, Hous - e or the coun try, that such a Bill should pass with a majority of nine. And in what way was that majority composed ? There were exactly the same num ber of Cabinet Ministers, all of whom had a di rect personal interest in the They knew they would be exposed to the insults 'and' taunts of all mankind had they not abandon ed a measure, the majority for which was made up of nine individuals, who, in the triple capacity of accuser, judge, and juror, 'had the strongest personal interest in the conviction of the Queen. With respect to the opinion delivered by thal august Tribunal, he should offer a few remarks because he had heard in that House doctrines broached utterly in contradiction to the plain simple rules of justice. it was true that a ma jority of nine had been obtained : btit had they not, a right to suppose that the influence of the Crown in the other House had'not some influence in procuring it,? He had not the slightest intention :0 cast any-reflection on the Noblemen who corn posed the majority ; but he appealed to the House if there migit not exist a variety of motives in their minds calculated to obscure and blind their judg mentc ? For example, he would mention a strong entire confidence in his Majesty's Government, which might certainly operate in that way. Ano:. ther circumstance which frequently operated on the judgment was, the recollection of great favours and kindness. For an illustration of the effect of the confidence in Government he had mentioned, they need nit,go out. of that House. Many were known to sacrifice their own opinions to those of the Ministers in whom they placed con e , fiderice, When, therefore, they ileard it as serittl in that House, that the Queen's moral guilt was established, it amounted to nothing.— They had no right to draw such art inference from the transactions of that tribunal., He re membered an anecdote of an lion. Gentleman belonging to that House who was found drink ing claret up stairs in former times, and upon being asked by someone what were his motivesfor supporting a question then under discussion in the House, answered with naivete, " I ,don't trouble myself about the matter, Mr. - Pitt talss care of that for me." Now the Noble Earl, at the head of the other House, had also many Peers in the same- predicament ; and he did not therefore think that the majority of 9, and of 28, on the Bill in question, gave any right to any one to talk of the Queen's moral guilt. - It was con trary to all rules of justice, and would not be en dured in any ordinary case. In the case of Mr. Hastings, for instance, what would be said, if any Gentrtsmart were to get up in that House after trial, and charge Mr. , Hastings with a conviction of moral guilt in the transactions of the Rohillah war, or any other of the matters which had previously been disposed of by the trial? Would it be endured, that arts; Gentle man, under- .similar circumstances, .should get up and charge Lord Melville with moral guilt, who had been acquitted of all guilt ? If such an attempt wete made, there would be a competi tion among his, countrymen in that House to' de tend hisscharacter from so foul an attack. Yet from day to day, and from hods to hour, were they subjected to hear such attacks made Upon 'a woman and a Queen ! lie should abstain from touching upon the more important part of the question—the legal part, contenting himself with expressing his conviction, deduced from all ~he had heard in this House on the subject, that the omission of her Majesty's name from the Liturgy was utterly illegal. The only motive, he assur ed . the House, which had induced him to give notice of his present motion, was that an end might be put to the disturbances and distractions of the country. On this subject-he had heard with astonishment, Gentlemen in that House de clare that they did -not belieVe the pnblicinterest on this question was so,great as had, been sense seated. He feared that to Gentlemen capable of doubting this, nothing he could say won Id be °fatly . avail. They had only to use their eyes and ears to be sensibleof the intense feeling which prevailed throughout the ,country. The Queen had re ceived many hundred Addresses from many hun dred thousand persons. That HOuse had re ceived. Petitions on the subject to an amount such as bad never before been known on any occa sion, and the common prayer of all was, that the Queen's name be restored to the Liturgy. He (Mr. Smith) was one of those who witnessed her , Majesty's procession to St. Paul's Cathedral, and he did not remember ever to have witnessed anyl thing which made so deep an impression on his mind. The countless multitudes which he saw collected together on that occasion in the metropolis, were in a state of perfect quiet and repose. By some means they had gotten an idea that tumult and disorder would be unfavourable to the cause, of the Queen, and such was their attachment to her cause; that they repressed all those feelings which are the invariable coneomi, tads of all.crowded assemblages. lie then thought that if such could be the conduct of the people of this Country, there eras no object they could not attain. Their Petitions flowed into that HouSe from all quarters, even from those, which had never before interfered with politics. He was then astistiished that Gentlemen on the other side could imagine that the people of this country were not excited on this question to a- greater majority than bad ever before been evinced. He had heard from some, that although they had ad mitted great numbers took part in the interest on the question, yet they were not of a respectable description, but only of-those who were averse to the Government and desirous of changes which the country and the larger part of that House deprecated and abhorred. It was said.also tha all the meetings which had taken place through out the country were composed of such indivi duals : and the Gentlemen on his side of the House were charged with having no other view in advocating this matter than personal emolu- meat, and the most selfish motives. He might remind those who expressed these sentiments, that there were but a small number on that side of the House who could, derive any benefit from what they were charged with anticipating. There were many who, like himself, must remain in that mediocrity of station which they 'at present held. There Was, indeed, a small number who might benefit in the manner alluded to,. and glad he, was, that there were some Gen tlemen on that side who were ready and willing to take office, as he should think that country in a bad state if it were not so. No man in that kingdom was more attached than he was to the party With which he then sat. Be: Was so, because he mad not fora_ their con •duct, and the great things they had done in former times, advocating those great principles which•alone could give happiness to mankind.— They-had endeavoured to do away that detest able bigotry which never wrought any good, and which had caused so much bloodshed. They lost their places, but they never would lose the admiration of all friends to liberty.—(hear, hear!)—With respect to the public meetings in the country, to which allusions had often been made, .he -was convinced they spoke the senti ments of the great majority,of the nation ; he _ . was convinced that-this was the true state of the- temper of the country, and he did therefore hope that his Majesty's Government wo u ld acce pt th e motion' he shoul d have the honour to make, or would hereafter insert the Queen's name in the Liturgy, and retrace their steps. He had been told that the Noble Lord opposite had stated that is never would hold face at all on the condition of restoring her Majesty's name to the Liturgy. On that point perhaps his Lo►dsh'p was the best judge ; but so far was he from thinking that such ►►n act would have the effect of removing the Noble Lord from office,. he solemnly protested that it would confirm him jil possession. Nor dirt 'le see, in that ctent,, any chance 'of any-party in hat House disturbing the Nob! Lord and his . riends.. 'Assuring, the Noble Lord, as he did; I th-a thi's uasth - e- state of the sentiment! br this nation on the momentous question, he would ask him, whether the situation of the country was such as to enable him - to d- spice the public voice ? it was not his wish to draw a gloomy picture.— Notwithstanding the distressed state of the agri cultural classes was very great, it wits not so great as was represented. ''-~They were depressed beyond all former exatrlp.;_afid he asked w as it xor.t.h w hrhicto . tikem by tn ruing 4-deaf ear to thyi_r..' tavei•s foo..tht. restoration he'r Ma jesty's name to the Liturgy ? With respect to their commerce, he was not one who believed they were ruined. He knew fully the depressed state it was in, and feared it would contiane.— With respect to the internal politics of the coun try, there were many questions which must be agitated shortly in that House; on which the country and they were greatly at issue. The Poor Laws, for instance, could not be long put off, and when it did come, they would here occasion for all the kindness, good sense, and good humour the country could afford. lie should :be glad to hear that their external relations were not in the sarne situation. They were told that there would he a continuance of peace, but they could not shut their eyes on' what was passing.— There were two great principles - contending for mastery at this moment in Europe—a good and a had principle—liberty and slavery ! Would 'the Noble Lord opposite 'assure them that this coun try would not be called upon again to stand in the breach made. by the tyranny o f one great over-ruling despot ?by there no great Monarch in Europe who held hundreds of thousands of soldiers in training ? And • should such an occa- Sion - arrive as he adverted to, would they not re quire all the good-humour, energy, and patriotism Of the nation ? Ile did, therefore, think that it was the worst policy at the :present moment either to put the country out of humour, or to . keep it in that . st a t e . He had no hesitation i n saying that a!! :those parades, processions, anti disturbances in theeountry which-were complain ed of, would continue to increase till Mi n i s t ers gave in to th e wishes of the people. The lion. Gentleman concluded by moving the following Resolution :—" ThiS house having taken into " consideration the circumstance of her Majesty's " name not being inserted in the Prayers, Col " lects, and Litanies of the Church. Service, and " also the numerous Petitions from the people, " complaining- of the omission, is of opinion, that " it is highly expedient, under all existing cir " cumstances, that her Majesty's name should be " now inserted in all the Prayers; Collects, and " Litanies aforesaid, and that such a measure " would greatly tend to remove the discontents " existing on that subject in the public mind." Mr. TENNYSON seconded the motion which his Honourable Friend had introduced With so much dearness and perspicuity. The Honourable Gentleman immediately entered into an exami nation of the legal merits.of the question. His Honourable and Learned Friend opposite (Mr. Wetherell) had Made it too apparent . to be doubt ed by any, thatalthough the. King was the undoubt ed Head of the Church by the common law and by title, yet in a spiritual and temporal capacity he was baund by this Statute. By the . Act of Uniformity it was established oil a tirm basis, that the. names of all the. Royal Family mid Royal Progeny should be inserted in the LitargY; being changed from time to time to lit the - occasion.— This Act was founded on some Canons issued in 1803 at the accession of King James, which or dained that the Church should more especially pray for King James, Queen Anne, the Noble Prince and Princess, and the rest of the Royal Family. In order to throw some light on the meaning of the clause in the Act of Uniformity relating to.the Royal - Family, he begged to call the attention of the hiOuse to. the following fact relative to the Act. Catherine of Portu gal was proposed as Consort to King James, about the time that this Act was in agitation, and she was actually present at the Bar of the House of Lords, on the IDth Mar, 1662, to hear the Royal Assent given to it. Two months after the King was married to Catherine, and this was enough to show that this was contemplated by the Legislature in framing the clause re !min to the Royal Family and Royal Progeny. No one coming within this description from the time of the .passing of this Act to the present time had been omitted in the Liturgy. With respect to the Consort of George the First, he was ling to give the benefit of that to the other side ft had already heen most satisfactorily explainet try the lion and Learned Merni)er fOr litiares• borough (Sir J. Mackintosh). There was every reason to suppose that George the First Was di vorced at the time he ascended the.throne, and he hoped Ministers would, in the course of that night's debate, state how the fact was If there was any truth in the' story of his having Married the Duchess of Kendal, it must, otherwise, have been a left-handed marriage, which' there was reason to presume the laws of GermaBy would not recognise. The King and Privy Council, he contended, were bound to devote one of the blanks left in the liturgy, attached to the Act of Uniformity, to the Queen Consort. The King and Privy Council had not the power to omit names as they pleased, according to caprice, or prejudice, but were to change the names, and fill up the blanks, as fitted to the occasions: It was a subterfuge to say that the Queen was pra ved for in the Prayer for the Royal Family. the whole of his argument went to show that the Queen Consort must be prayed 'for by - name ; and if the Act itself did not distinctly point that . out, wage certainly did. The non-compli, ance of the present Administration with thi s • usage, was inflicting a punishment rs hich, to the people at large, appeared very much like vindictive feeling on their part. The people. were convinced that this act was the suggestion of disappointed men. It proceeded from a contempt for the feelings a n d th e i n t eres t s o f the Country, for its morals and religion, and for judicial authority. They had now Only.to.con sider what compensation they could make forsuf- ,-rings which they were bound to consider were unjustly inflicted. If thtt Mitii,iers persisted ti rJusing_to restore the Queer's itameto 14'turgy, it would he. a pertinacity in error : whici :cold only instire to themselves- dishonour ant defeat s asp well as degradation to the dignity of the Crown. Let diem approach the Throne with their humble entreaties. The King had no doubt been grossly deceived ; and had the omission never been made, her nariie certainly would not be erased ,at the present'smoment. And if it wo7:1(.1 not, he asked by what course of reasoning; by evhat rhetoric, or what chain of caristry 4 could his •IVlajesty's Ministers reconcileetheAcontineiance s.of the-ornisiou? yd'hlier e It d' mhigled political considerationsand, lignant passio n s with re ligious feelings. He hought it ought t o b e pa rIN 'trilling consideration to risk even a t em p orar y secession front the National Church-; and it was something-to risk the continuance of the present discontents. The whole Country- were looking to the vote of that night as to their only, bent -of retaining their grasp on the Laws and the Con stitution. In voting for the motion or his Hon: Friend, he conceived he was dischargieg a sacred duty which lie owed to the Public, to the Crowe, and to that House. M r : LEGGE addressed the House. lie coll.; fessed that lie had always regarded the omission of .the Queen's na me f rom th e Li turgy as ill -a d o Vise& and inexpedient, although he 'did not doubt that his Majesty's Ministers had advised that act from a sense of duty. At the same time he thought the original insertion of her. Majesty's name had 'been much over-rated. It would not ; in his opinion, have been a mark of peCuliar grace and favour, as it could only be coesidereti to be in compliance with the'eseneral eesttnes-e. and,the effect otthe omission was not such as td dispose the minds of the peep-le of the country'/ adverse to her Majesty. Oe the contrary, she h a d gained .a great many partisans by it. From the impression on his mind, after aft he had heard in that House on-the, subject, he did not consider the omission as illegal. No Hon. Member would say that her Majesty had not been prayed for h( all the loyal, when included in the prayer for the whole ifoyal Family. With resp ec t., t o the late proceedings aga i ns t her Majesty ie the House of; Lords, he could not bring his mind t o .conceive that any Ministers of the Crown, in the nine teenth . century, could so far retrograde towards the dark ages, as to advocate strch a case against" the Queen, with the support of hired witnesses- The grounds of his opposition to the present 0 o• tion, were the Queen's letter to the King, 'sind her answers to' addresses.—(Hear, hears heat 9 --elle, cared not whether she excited the-reep!e of the country under the denomination of " ner subjects," or note it was on the broad general tenor of her answers that he-grounded his ob jection. it had been said, allowances ought td be made for the Queen's feelings-, he was win ine to admit. that, but lie could not grant that this allowance could be extend e d to a ser i e s °`, publications tending to inspire hostility to everY' institution whiCh was dear to the natives of thi 4 country.—(Heer, hear.)-e, He 'could not agree that this allowance should be extended to a. le t ' ter ei Inch reviled the Sovereign, and strove t" set the people in array against.
