THE ADDRESS.

The SPEAKER then read the Queen's Speech (for
which see Lord's report's, after which,
Lord LOTAINE 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
hag& 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 he 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 late
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 for that immortal man.
(Cheers.) Their love was not founded on mere evanescent
vulgar admiration of military glory. It was not that he
had given to England the supremacy of the vast empire
of India; it was not that he had raised England by his
victories to the highest rank among the nations of the world;
it was not that he finally became the conqueror of
the conqueror of the world, that this country loved
him so well, but because be was not so dazzled
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 lasting peace.
(Cheers,). When he had brought the most tremendous,
struggle in which any country ever engaged to a
close, he devoted himself to the establishment of peace
by every means of conciliation and moderation that was
consistent with the honour and safety of England. 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, not 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 loved him would be warned by his advice,
L 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 alluded to the success which
hid attended the enrdment 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
Itrade, 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 of
the country. He readily admitted that the commercial
policy which had been adopted for the last three years
bad contributed to the very great prosperity which
existed is the country. (Loud cheers from the Opposi-
tion benches.) He said so us the representative of
an agricultural county. But he drew a very great
distinction between what was called free trade
and the abolition of the duties 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
unexceptionable. But the abolition of the

could be no doubt that the repeal of the corn-laws had
occasioned suffering utaong a large and important class,
and he was confident that the recommendation in the
Royal Speech would not be overlooked by the House.

Attar expressing a that all party differences woule
be laid aside, the Noble Lord concluded with moving an
Address, which was, as usual, en echo of the Royal
Speech.
Mr. EGERTON rose is second the Address. The
Hon. Member commence by stating that, on the

Duke of Wellington, to,

He thought, however, that the settlemen, of the ques-

The question having been put from the char,
Mr. VILLIERS said he hoped the house vould not
deem it presumptuous in him that at that ealy period
of the evening he resits to address to it a few observations
on the subject of the Address and on what hid fallen
from the Hon. Gentlemen who moved and seemded it.
He could assure the House that it was with great reluc-
tance be rose t& address it on this occasion, because he
entirely agreed with those who thought that it was de.
sirable on all occasions of receiving messages and
speeches from the Throne, that the responses is them
should be unanimous. That was the feeling of the
House generally, and more especially of late years it
seemed to be the practise of Parliament. But it de-
