Lord H.IKRIS, speaking as one who had some experience
of lads and the state of public feeling in that country,
begged to unite in the request which had been made to the
noble duke to postpone his resolution.
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH referred to the vast
au,..bar petitioes which had been promoted from all
pi: ti of the three kingdoms as evidencing the strong feeling
in the public mind in this country on the subject, and de-

compliance with the request made to him by the
three noble peers who had appealed to him to postpone the
rosoi ution.

N VILLE, availing himself of the point of order,
that the order of the day had not been read, interrupted the
noble duke, to add his urgent entreaties to those of hie
noble friend, that the noble duke would not penut in •
motion which, from the best information he could pin, he
was enabled confidently to say could not be brought on at s

The Earl of DERBY could scarcely expect that his ap-
pest to the noble duke (the Duke of Marlborough) would
be more successful than that of his other noble friend& ;
Mill he could not help expressing bin earnest desire in
public —as he had already dose, but without effect, in pri•

solution at the present moment, believing as he did that to

Lord BROUGHAM also joined in the appeal for post-
ponement ; and intimated that, if the noble duke

The Duke of MARLBOROUGH felt deeply the painful
peition in which he was placed, but nevertheless felt it to
be his duty to proceed. Noble lords had mid that the
diseuse4o of the subject would be prejudicial and dangerous,

that the adoption of such • plan as he advocated would not
interfere in the slightest degree with the religious rites and
