EXHIBITION OF WORKS OF ART FOR THE

NEW PALACE.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from certain
artists, contributors to and competitors in the exhibition of
works of art now exhibiting in Westminster-ball. They
complained of the manner in which the poison had been
awarded after only three days examination et avast number
that prier to as the *Wee t to have been
exhNted to the and anticaiticLm of the public. The pe-
titioner,suagesertletat the artists of France, Germany, and

mimioners had adjudicated, and they prayed that such •
course should be takes before anybody—Mr. A, Mr. B, or
Mr. C--should be employed finally to decorate the walls of
the new palace.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE addressed some observa-
tions to the house, which occupied 10 minutes in their de-
livery, but in so conversational a tone that not a single sen-
tence was audible in the gallery.
After a few words from Lord Suriney the subject
droPPed.
MILITIA BALLOT SUSPENSION BILL.
_ . _

On the motion Cr the third reading of bin:—
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said that he should
feel it necessary to say nen•ocntent to the third reeding of
the bill. It was now 18 years since the ballot had been in
operation, and it was perhaps an unfair tax, and the force it
brought together none of the best. What he objected to won
the parting with that reserved force without substituting
any other to which recourse might be had. It was in 1829
that the ballot wee first suspended ; but he would ask their
lordships to consider the changes which had taken place
since then. Since the revolution in France, in 1820, it had
been the object of that country to strengthen her force, end
to be prepared for war. Great changes, too, had taken place
in our relations with Holland and Belgium, and Hanover;
the severance of the latter kingdom from this country de-
priving us of an available force of 28,000 men. In France
there were three great elements of change the dis-
tress of the people, the financial difficulties of the go
vernment, and their being discredited in the eyes of the
people. He did not witness her present circumstances
Without anxiety, with regard to our permanent pacific rela-
tions. Look, then, at America, engaged in a great war, in
which the government was committed to put forth its whole
naval strength and to form a large army. In this respect she
was wholly altered since the time when we contended with her
in 1814: her population bad doubled, and she was forming
en army sod imbibing a passion for military glory. Her
soldiers were learning the means of feeding and equipping a
large force under difficulties, and enquiring a knowledge of
carrying on a war. He (Lord Ellenborough) never thought
' that the settlement of the Oregon question was anything but
a " ruse " on the part of Mr. Polk to enable him to carry on
a more advantageous war, and he (Lord Ellenborough) had
no doubt that in six months from the return of that victo-
rious army from Mexico, there would be a hostile exhibition
on the part of America, and this country would have to de-
cide whether she would give up or contend for that terri-
tory. Look again at the position of Ireland. This country
had expended ten millions on her, and she occupied the
whole of our disposable military forte end our steam
navy—her requirements in thew respects being equi-
valent to those of • war with • secondary state
of Europe : and when would it be said that the present
state of things would cease? If these were not circuits-
, statues mistime at the pneent time sedisisot to excite ap-
I pesksmaion, leek to the .11111.11 alines sink had taken

had 'increased in strength, and, above all, in their knowledge
of navigation. See, too, the change effected by steam DIRTY
sawn and railways ; what means of secretly and surprise in
fee conveyance of armies in France or other countries to the
coast. Once this was an operation of months, and gave time
for preparation ; but it was not so now. The supremacy of
the channel for three days would enable France to throw aa
army into this country, and if a French army invaded the
country it would not commit the errors which the Sikh' had
committed when they crossed the Sutlej, and London might
be taken by surprise as well as Canton. The resources of
this country were certainly net diminished, but if we
were not prepared we should throw awe/ all the ad-
vantages to be derived from them. It would not
do for us to rely too far on the memory of former victories ;
far they had left a deep bignedes of animosity against us
heather countries, and besibs, while our wealth was calms-
had to excite cupidity, we could not venture to remain un-
aimed in the midst of an armed world. We had not now
the supremacy of the sec; we should have to fight, and to
ight hard for it, if we win to go to war with France, and
she was better p kr the commmounent of war. It
