had done his duty. (Applause.) The last session of par- in PEXIAL AVEbtrAn is,
' hament, like many of its predecessors, had proved, by its
barrenness, that a reform of tho House of Commons was
aeeerary to the attainment of cheep government and good
legislation. That which had long been considered
sweetie' by the people had at length been confessed to be
se by the minister, and they were promised a new measure
of reform. What the nature and extent of that measure
would be must depend upon the people themselves. if they
remained lukewarm and indifferent, it would be small as
the widow's mite ; but if they were zealous and resolute,
they might look for a wise and comprehensive measure of
electoral reform. (Hear' hear.) He had heard that day,
as he bed heard frequently, that they ought not to disturb
the people; that things were all well ; that employer and
em*yed were cacti satisfied. Well, that was the very
OM ut all others in which they should prosecute the
good work. When there was peace, when there was
Om for thought, when there was no irritation,—then
' weld they approach the important subject in the spirit of
justice and philanthropy. Refute speaking further on that
most important subject, he would refer to a question upon
which much diversity of opinion existed, even amongst re-
formers themselves; that upon which the greater portion of
the session had been wwited—the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.
' He voted on that question as he then and still thought was
in strict accordance with the principles which first recent-
' mended him to that numerous and intelligent constituency.
A friend to perfect religions equality, and consequently in
favour of the withdrawal of all preference and support by
the state from any particular worship or formula of faith,
he desired to see each church stand on its own merits—
(applause)—he was opposed to all coercious, all legal pro-
hibttions, all pains and penalties; he would neither patronise
on toe one head, our proscribe on the other. (Hear.) He
held kis erns religious views firmly, and they were iu
direst willegenen to the views of those who had re.
easily wand se Much dissatisfaction by their ostentatious
and unnesemary display. (Cheers.) But for the safety
dOm lbws, and for a victory over that which
be be to be error he was content to trust to
thelr ealterent power and efficacy. (Hear, bear.) Ali a
prowetent episcopalian he held the right of private judg-
ment in matters of faith and religion, and that which be
Maimed for himself he must allow to others. (Cheers.)
He voted against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill also as a
smatter of policy. Whatever had the appearance of 'terse-
onion was sure to strengthen the views of the aralikel, and
la produce an effect the opposite of that which was ir.
Waded. Pereecution might have made heroes and martyrs.,
bat it had never made converts; sad if ecclesiastical power I
mast be abridged, it could only be by enlightening the
minds and freeing the souls of men, not ley statutory
emestments, or by the enforcing of temporal penalties%
Ais a Mend to protestant truth, he believed he was better
to confute and live down what be conceived to
Cigerror, than if he had supported the Ecclesiastical',
Titles Bill. (Cheers.) lie rested hie justification on
the grounds that the principles he avowed and still
cherished required that vote. He defended it upon
policy as well as upon principle, and if he mistook not,
the results of that measure would illustrate and sustain
the soundness of the view ho had taken upon that most
vexatious question. All he asked was a fair consideration
et the motives which induced him so to vote, and a refer-
ence to the principles he had ever avowed. (Hear, hear.)
Leaving to those whom he addressed the duty of questioning
him upon any points which might require explanation, he
would pass from himself to matters of national importance.
If the six months of the session were unproductive of geed
to the people at large, they were months of activity to him-
self -, and if he found his efforts to serve the popular cause
in lie House of Commons unsatisfactory, he sought to
eimpensete by exertions out of doors, where, he was _eeeiteCTlVE FIRE IN THE NEW KENT-ROAD.—
