FIRING AT HER MAJESTY.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he trusted their
lordships would permit him, before proceeding to a subject on
which he feared there would he some difference of opinion,
to advert for a moment to a subject, on which there could be
but one sentiment among their lordships—he meant an an-
' fortunate circumstance which had taken place within the last
48 hours. There were offences so odious and disgusting, but
at the same time so extraordinary and appalling, that it was
impossible at once to speak of them with that scrioumeas
which their malignity deserved, and the contempt which
their purpose was calculated to excite in every bosom.
(Hear, hear.) The inquiries which had taken place into an
offence which had been directed against the person of her
Majesty, on Saturday last, had not led to the
disclosure of any eircumetances which justified a
commitment for high treason. Had such a com-
mitment been made it would have been the instanta.
aeons and unanimous wish of their lordships to go up to the
throne with an address. (Hear, hear.) But this had not
been the case, the life of her Majesty had not been en-
dangered, and the osamitment had been for a simple mis-
demeanour under an act of 1842, which appeared to be
singularly adapted to deal both with the atrocious nature of
the mime and the contempt which it had created. (Hear,
hear.) He rose, therefore, for the purpose of stating that
upon these grounds it was not his intention to propose that
their lordships should adopt any address to her Majesty on
the subject. (Hear, hear.) The contemptible author of the
offence would meet with the punishment he so justly de-
served. (Hear, hear.)

Lord STANLEY entirely concurred in the propriety and
prudence of the course which had been adopted by the noble
marquis. He rejoiced to hear that it ems not the intention
of the gefilernment to give to this most contemptible and dis-
graceful outrage the consideration and importance which
would attach to it, even in the mind of the wretched culpnt
himself, by making it the subject of en address. (Hear,
hear.) He was quite certain, that if her Majesty's life had
been in the slightest degree endauttered—if there had been
any serious attempt of inflicting Injury on her Majesty's per-
son, would not say dose that ere would have been an
unanimous expression of loyalty and attachment on the part
of that house, and thankfulness that such an attempt had been
frustrated, but he would add that the same fee.ing would
find an echo in the country—(hoar, hear)—from every class ;
and he might almost venture to say from every individual
of every class. (Cheers.) An another matter of
congratulation, if they were to congratulate her Ma-
jesty, would be, that if it could be supposed for a
moment p ssibie that any individual had meditated an attack
on her Majesty's person, the result would call forth an ex-
pression oindignation and vengeance, from which the cul.
prit in this case, he believed, had very narrowly escaped.
(Hear, hear.) He agreed with the noble marquis, that it
was better to treat such an offence with the contempt which
it merited, and the individual with that degradation which
was due to his crime, than to hold him up with notoriety to
the public eye. (Hear, hear.) He would remain exposed to
the contempt of all the world and with the feeling on the
part of every human being that he had well deserved a dis-
graceful and degrading punishment. (Hear, hear.)
Lord KENYON made some observations which were
inaudible in the gallery, owing t the miss in ell parts of
the home.

Lord BROUGHAM would have joined ht any address or
resolution, bat the offender before his trial ought not to be
macienmed by an address or retolution, especially of their
lordships, who might be called upon, is the last resort, to
decide upon the guilt or innosenta of any individual.

After a few words from the Marquis of LANIDOWNI the
subject drerped.

WORKS OF ART IN ROME.
Lord BROUGHAM said that he had received a letter
from Mansoni, who was in this country, and who would
have petitioned their lordships if such a course would not
have ben informal, solemnly stating, in the most positive
and distinct tonna, that the reports in the French and
English newspapers, as well as in plicate letters, that he
tad brought away works of art from Rome, was entirely
without foundation. He thought it due to M. Manion! to
take the earliest opportunity of making this statement.

NAVIGATION BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in moving the order of
the day for the hem, going into committee on the Naviga-
tion Bill, said that, a short time before coming down to the
house, he had received an intimation from the chairman of
committees (the Hurl of Shaftesbury) of his utter inability
to take the chair, in consequence of indisposition. He there•
fore begged leave to move that Lord Beaumont do take the
chair.
