tl4end of thalpolicy I woe* &prom% the Mime mine-

that all- this 121001•4 le will be impostibie for the
House of Commons to take a step
awing to to the conduct of the go t of this
country—(hear, hear)—a conduct turned on in entity so•
madame with the policy which the gemmed view this
country has so long sanctioned. No moment would be more
inconvenient—l em not putting it upon that bake which is
so often justly ridiculed, that A is always inconvenient to give
an opinion after an event, but I say that if indeed ibis strong
feeling had beam entertained by the right honourable
gentleman, It is deeply to be regretted that so
great • delay has taken place in bringing forward
this subject for the consideration of parliament.
At this very moment, when there exists between the two
governments of England and Francs the roo,t complete
identity of opinion on this subject, that an address of this
kind should be oared to the house I shall ever deplore. But,
not taking that lerwe view of the question, but adopting •
view which most touch the feelings of every gentleman, no
matter on which side of the house he may happen to sit—
asetsly, the condition of the Principalities themselves—l
squally Masai sad deprecate this motion. I think that there
is at this moment • prospect, and something more
then • prospect, not of raising up is the Da-
nubian countries a fantastic kingdom or • phantom
of independence, but of raising that soumbry to the enjoyment
of a greater share of civil rights, sad eves of political liberty,
than has ever been enjoyed by any pegnlation on that great
stream. And believing, ea I do, that time is • prospect, sad
more than a prospect, of aitainieg se gait and desirable an
end, I entreat the house, on pee co with
the future prosperity of those ens hI S hot to sanction an
address which if carried Todd leed Y esearquencre of the
most fearful character to tide waft and to Europe.
(" Hear, bear," and cheers.)

Mr. 8. FITZGERALD end he me sure the house must
feel that the oat it concealment of the discussion of this
very important question was very much to be lamented. For

Mr. 8. ESTCOURT said it was impossible for such an
Inquiry as this to be instituted without outing a rrflection
on those who were engaged in the administration of the poor
law; and he thought the result would be to retard the
work of Improvement, which had been going on for some time
pad.
The motion was, miter considerable delay, negatived with-
out a division.
The house adjourned at a queer past 12.
