REPUBLIC OF PERU.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought
up a report of the treaty with the Republic of Peru.
THE ADDRESS.
The SPEAKER then read the Queen's Speech (for
which see Lord's report), after which,
Lord LOVAINE said, in moving that an humble
Address be presented to her Majesty, in reply to her
most gracious Speech from the Throne, he con-
fessed he wished the task had fallen into the
hands of some more able, experienced, and
talented member, who would have been enabled to give
due weight to the important topics which it contained.
Ho felt more embarrassed when Ito saw that the
first subject mentioned in that Speech must call
forth the affections, regard, and regret of every
man who called himself a native of Great
Britain. (Hear.) He alluded, of course, to that portion
of the speech in which her Majesty, with her usual kind
and affectionate regard for the wishes and feelings of
her people, invited their representatives to join in
a provision for the funeral obsequies of the lute
Duke of Wellington. (Hear, hear.) The House
would excuse him if he approached with awe
an event which had cast a shadow of grief and dismay
over this mighty empire—the passing away of that
life which for nearly half a century had been a bea-
con to guide every Englishman in the path of
honour and of duty. (Cheers.) No obsequies they might
give, no funeral pomp they might bestow, would be ade-
quate to the respect, love, and admiration which the
House and the country bore fur that immortal man.
(Cheers.) Their love was not founded on mere evanescen'
vulgar admiration of rwittery glory, It was not that h,
had given to England the supremacy of the vast emeir-
of India; it was not that he had raised England by hit
victories to the highest rank among thenations of the world;
it was nut that he finally beerana the coequeror
the conqueror of the world, that this country lovers
him so well, but because be was not so dazzler,
and blinded by the effulgence of the glory he had
earned and rendered deaf by the voice of victory,
as to be unable to discern that the true end and
object of all war was an honourable and tatting peace.
(Cheers.) When he had brought the most tremendous
struggle inwhich
any country ever engaged to
close, he devoted himself to the establishment of peace
by every means of conciliation and moderation that we-
consistent with the honour and safety of Eugiand. How
he had succeeded, the history of the last 37 years could
tell. They loved him because he had always proved him-
self a most faithful servant of the Crown, and been ever
ready to defend the rights and promote the welfare of
his fellow-citizens. He (Lord Lovaine) believed that
his political opponents would bear witness that his coun-
sel was ever ready in the darkest hour of dan-
ger and difficulty, and that they might always rely on his
honour, sincerity, and sagacity to point out the path of
safety which seemed to be hidden from less gifted eyes
His name would be handed down to posterity as an ex-
ample, aot only of a great statesman, and of the greatest
warrior, but as a colossal example of unswerving
obedience to the call of duty, truth, fidelity, and
honour, (Cheers.) He trusted that the country
who lived him would be warned by his advice,
and not be so intoxicated by a feeling of security,
and by the peace which had so long subsisted, as to
allow the country to be exposed to danger. The
Noble Lord then &laded to the success which
had attended the ertr.lment of the Militia, not-
withstanding the evil auguries which had been offered
respecting it. After a brief reference to the differ-
ences on the American Fishery question, the Noble
Lord went on to observe, that her Majesty entertained
sanguine hopes of the final extinction of the slave
trade, Cuba being the only spot in the world where it
now flourished. He next adverted to the gratifying in-
telligence that transportation to Van Diemen's Land
would soon cease, expressing a hope that some other
means would be found for disposing of the criminals o:
the country. He readily admitted that the commercial
policy which had been adopted for the last three years
had contributed to the very great prosperity which
existed

tion benches.) so as the representative of
an agricultural county, esut he drew
u a very great
distinction between w
athe country.nesa id
lag was called free trade
and the abolition of the dillies upon corn. He believed
that the abolition of prohibitory duties on articles of liv-
ing, having due regard to the revenue to be raised, was
judicious and unexceptionable But the abolition of the
duty upon corn stood upon another footing. There
could be no doubt that the retold of the corn-laws had
occasioned suffering among a large and important class,
and ho was confident that tie, recommendation in the
Royal Speech would not be overlooked by the House.
After expressing a hope that al party differences woult
b 3 laid aside, the Noble Lord ctncluded with moving an
Address, which was, as usuzl,an echo of the Royal
Speech.
Mr. EGERTON rose to accord the Address. The
Member commenced by Gating that, on tilt
subject of that paragraph in the Royal Speech
which alluded to the -death the late lamentec
Duke of Wellington, Ile felt (Pie assured that the

Tint questtou having been put from the chair,
It:r. VILLIERS said he hoped the house would not
deem it presumptuous in him that at thee; early period
of time evening he rose to address to it a few observations
ion the subject of the Address and on what had fallen
from the Hon. Gentlemen who moved and seconded it.
He could assure the House that it was with great relac-

from the Throne, that the re:pottses to them

seemed to be the practice of Parliament. But it de-
