rod be doubted not that if the confidence of the

of the Home would leave them also in a short

Castle, tlint though the constitution of the House
might in theory seem absurd to a reformer, yet in
practice it produced more varied talent than any
other system devisable by the wit of maims. The Hun.
Member for Devizes had well explained himself on
that point ; he said, that 1,1• whatever number,
whether few or malty, by which lie was sent to that
House, he consulloed himself as the Representative

the present Administration honest men, assert
that they would have been justified in shutting
their ears against them ? He next came to the gore-

the name of the Queen from the Liturgy, or rather
not advising his Majesty to order its irosertioo, was
done at all with a view of punishment. He con-
tended that, under all the circumstances, they
could tint reasonably advise his Majesty to confer
this act of 'permit grace and favour on her. The
Right Huourable Gentleman proceeded into a
lengthened anti elaborate defence of his colleagues.
" We had been told that we had boat the confidence
,of the people."—/Hear, hear.)—But he roundly
denied it. It bud been the misfortune of the pre-
sent Administration to be opposed by two great
parties. One of them, the Whigs, who were a
most respectable body of men, distinguished u well

to taxation and representation : and it is go;te
singular that this is the only point on wham
they can agree. The Radicals can do no goo,.
nor the Whigs can obtain no power, as long as
the present Arlininistrat i retails their office.—
So lung as that continues, the ease of the Radical.
