THL MIMtIRV AND TilE SESSION.

Lord LYNDHURST aid that shortly user the forma-
-1 1.111 of the present government, and he believed before the
,Ae lord (toe Earl of Derby) bad taken his seat in the
louse as the bead of that government, he had %akin the
liberty of bringing ender their lordships notice many im-
portant questions relating to the state of the private and
judicial hoWneks before the house. and In also felt it his
duty to go in'o di tails requoing other measures for the
purpose of tolling upon their tirdahips strongly to oppose
the try fur an itumetliaty dissolution, as it would most
orrioii•ly affect the public busier's, and b..• most injurious
to may private individuab. Ile had stated those measures
at that time so much is detail that it would not be neessury
for him to icier to that statyestnt again. It would by suth•
meat to state that they were now the law of the laud.
(Hear, hear.) la addition to those measures be might
oho state that there were others of very considerable
importance which were now also port of the law of the
realm. The only mc.s.are to which he could particularly
call attention was the constitution granted to New Zealand.
Ile referred to that MelliUld for the ?tarp..., of stating that
sot only had a great benefit been conferred upon that
colony. nut that in the bill granting the constitution, prin-
ciples had been laid down which were applicable to the
colonies a eat rally—which would have the effect of remov-
ing the des •tisfactioo and discontent which had so long pre-
vailed. H. had referred to the private business, to point
out that it had accumulated to a very large extent. The
greater put of that business. involving property to en
mutinous amount, by the unwearied assiduity Cl has noble
friend (Lord Ited.sdii., e) who presided over the committees
of that honer, had been goes through to the great advant-
age of the parties interested. With rderence to
judicial business, he had stated on a former
occasions that to delay justice was in many instances to
deny it. That tunings, wu now entirely disposed of.
There was hardly a single arrest of appeal on their lord-
ships table. Reburies to what be bad stated on a former
occasion he had felt it his duty to come down to the house
tow the purpose of making this statement. and of congratu-
lating the eonatry on the course pursued by his noble
Wend (the Earl of Derby). He thanked his noble friend
foe the firmness with which he had resisted the repeated
attacks and clamours which were made on account of his
resisting the cry for an immediate dissolution. Ile
might venture to say further, that during that
past of the sesame which had elapsed since has
noble friend came into office more important busi-
ng**, bills of greater moment, had passed through
*Josk \maws of parliament than during the cue
session of soy use of the sessions sauce the commencement
of the present parliament. He begged to offer his humble
thanks to his noble friend, whoa he also thought entitled
to the thanks of the country, for having resisted the clamour
to whisk ke bad referred. (Hear, bear.)

manner, that for the success in the proseeetiOn the
ceuree which the government determined to pursue, they
were m a great measure indebted to the 'bum* in the
lute tre-party splttt in that house and the other house of
parliament, which bad au eminently characterised the dis-
cessions during the present session, and to the fairness with ,
which their propositions had paused into a law, without
which the period of time would bare made it extremely
difficult for the government to have carried into effect any
measure which they deemed of importance. if her Ma-
jsty's government were entitled to credit, it was fur that
fur which his noble and learned friend had given
them credit, for having resisted the pressing im-
portuaitice irons VIATIOWI quarters, urging upon them
in the most vehement manner to dissolve par-
liament at a time a hen, though it would have been ex-
tremely convenieut to themselves personally to do so, they
were restrained from advising her Majesty to pursue that
wane font the consideration that a dissolution of parlia-
ment at that moment would hare involved the country in
great prevent incouvemence, and possibly, even probably,
would have led to the postponement, if not to the lees, of
many measures which they deemed it their bounden duty
to attempt to carry into law. When he had the honour of
addressing their lordships after coming into office' be men-
tioned some measures *hick the goverament deemed of
earua.unt ineiorusuce, and which they thought it
desirah:e, if nut absolutely necessary, should pan into
law before au appeal was made to the country.
tint and foremost among those measures he placed a
contribution to the national &Juices of the country in-
volved in the passing of a militia bill, deeased by the late
and the prevent government to be a matter of peremptory
importance, and perhaps not less important as a permanent
measure, it even less urgently required. Next in import-
ance he placed those great legal measures of reform for
the suggeetiou of which undoubtedly the government were
indeteed to the members of a commiagoa appeisted by
their predecessors ; but fur the whole arrangement of which
—.for the whole art the machinery, and the preparation of
bills Wended on those reports—teey were mainly indebted
to the vent, activity, and knowledge of his noble and learned
friead on the woolsack. In passing he would my, although
he did not wish to detract from their predecessors bat he
might be permitted, in consequence of what fallen from
the noble ear: opt outs, to say that, while the noble earl
took credit for the late Lcrd Chancellor having abstained
from giving his opinion within forty-eight hours from the
time of his receiving the report of the commissioners, ad-
mitting that at that moment the Lord Chancellor
bad not made up his mind, it involved something
like inconsistency that allusion should have been
made in the speech from the throne to the intention
to autroath:e measures, founded on the report of the com-
missioners, if the Lord Chancellor had not made up his
mind whether he could support such measures or not. He
could only say that there was cot a single step taken to-
wards bringing such measures into practical effect when
the present government came into office. la addition to
the liddie Lilt and these important legal reforms, of which
they bad hail the testimony of the noble and learned lord, the
late Lord Chancellor when he said that fur the importance
and magnitude of these reforms the present session would
be id .ur..ratile in the history of the reign and of the cen-
tury—in addition to these the government had thought
that they should nut delay carrying out • measure for cx.
teudier representative institutions to one of our distant
c Armies. Toley had also telt it tube a matter of urgency
shit importance to introduce and carry through those mea-
sures which had so lone and anxiously been desired by the
metropolis for contributing to the health and comfort of its
inhabitants by promoting a system of extramural inter-
ment of the dead, sod improving the supply of water.
He stated at the commencement of the session that

government deserved credit for aaphies It met fur

and the other house of parliament odes they vaierod to

in ur,pag forward those great measures which, apart from
all party considerations, were necessary for the good of the
country. involving the military defences of the country, the
improvement of tae courts of law, and providing sanitary
measures for the metropolis. He less happy to say that the
House of Commons and their lordships house had fully nul-
lified the estimate which the government bad formed of 1
their Wilke *putt ; and although the proposition that it
was possible to pass all these bilks—and he might almost any
any of them—was treated la the first instance with ridicule
and contempt, be had n the satisfaction of saying, at the
close of one of the shootost MACY oa record, that not
one of the objects Of tkis goverannat in respect
