This it was, most likely, winch led to the abrupt
prorogation of Parliament. Ministers st'strated, the
intervening time to do something tows' ils recovering
themselves, and hail employed she two toot moat's
in getting addresses forwarded prom all places
where their influence yet lingered. That they had

the flame of the shower which bad been given to
certain abjection, against a Bill ortbe last Serrion,
which gave more power to the Sheriffs over public
ineetirigs than was deemed safe to he intrusted to
them. It was alleged in support of the Hill, that so
far from frustrating the right of petition, it would
give increased and importance to proceed-
logs of that nature. Some of those dignified and
impartial officers, as they carte theft called, had in
their revolt' counties behaved most outrageously ;
rod yet in every county, not to say those
were considered as Whig counties only, tint in
every county rod place where discussion had been
allowed, there had been amendments urged, ex-

the difficulty of replying to the statements of she
Loyal Addresses as to the existence of sedition and
blasphemy, which statements were now left to stand
on their own naked merits. Much good might
they do those who had employed themselves in get-
ting up such Addresses. If the King had really
derived soy gratification from receiving th.lse Ad-
dresser, it was all very well ; but that they had
done any good for the feelings or character, or en-
joyment of any other man in the kingdom, he did
not believe.—(llear, hear, and laughter)

Lord CASTLEIMACIII professed to leave discovered
little to the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman.
to which he himself could wish to object. He
complimented the Right Hose. Gentleman on the
general character mid tendency of that speech,
which was exemplary for its moderation and good
feeling. As to the Speech from the Throne. it
had been arranged in all its forms agreeably to
established practice, and surely it was ers re-
proach to that Speech that it did not contain
any one topic which had a tendency to create or
augment divisions among the Members of that
House. He hoped upon examination that the
Speech would be found not to lie fleet' to the im-
putations of the Hoti. Member on the third bench
Curwen). If the Speech refrained from slating
the actual amount of pressure sustained by all the
separate interests, cud especially that most impor-
taut interest, the interest of the agriculture (though
properly speaking they were all importaist, and
hound up together by ties which made the welfare
or depression of one the condition of all), the
Hon. Gentleman would not, therefore, infer that
these circumstances had been passed over from wil-
ful neglect, or that any of them which could be
proved the most to need it would fellness with-
out attention front Isis Majesty's Govern-
ment. The distress of agriculture, however,
cm referable to natural causes, and was not to be
obviated any more than it had been crested by the
system of law.. He assured the Hon Gentleman
of the willingness of his Majesty's Government to
listen to any well-founded suggestions which could
be proposed for the relief of agriculture. The Right
Host. Gent.. opposite (Mr. Tierney) hail stated, in
terms not more strong than the subject demanded.
the necessity of preserving the country in a Irate of
peace. The Right Hon. Gentleman could not be
more Noxiously earnest than himself for iir preser-
vation, consistently with the honour of the country,
and the security of its possessimis and interests.
As to the affairs of the country generally, theme
would he other and more fitting opportunities for
explanation on them, of which lie would gladly
avail himself. He deprecated the idea intimated by
the Right Hon. Gentleman, of interfering with the
arrangements of other nations. He did not think it
C01111011•11i with the expressed desired preserving that
peace which was held to be me necessary for our interests,
for this country to dictate to others what conduct they writ
bound to pursue with regard S. their neighbours. This
would be to display too great • spirit of totenneddling.—
(Cherre from Mt Oppositdon.)—tie thought it would be
felt and resented, as an unusual stretch of national arrogance
for this country. the character of which was esisiestialty
maritime, to judge of and determine upon what ought
to be dense by the great nations of • Continent in refer-
ence the Mates contiguous to thew.—(Hear, lustri:!
