THE ADDRESS.

The LORD. CHANCELLOR having road her Majesty's
Speech,
The Marquis of SLIGO rose to move that an humble ad-
dress be presented to her Majesty, in answer to her most gra-
cious speech, on the occasion of the opening of Parliament.
He said he was confident the feeling of gratitude expresed in
the first paragraph of her Majesty's speech would be shared
in by the whole of their lordships, and the address that it
was then his pleasing duty of moving could not commence
more appropriately than by re-echoing that joy the open-
ing paragraph set forth. He regretted the strife that
had broken out in a part of the world with which they had
strong ties, but it was very assuring that the Government
would do all in their power to preserve the peace of
Europe, and at the same time he was rejoiced to hear that
every endeavours would be made to bring about a peaceful
settlement of the differences that had arisen between Ger-
many and Denmark, and thus ward off the dangers that
might follcw a war in Ithe north of Europe. With respect
to position of affairs, in America, ha felt satisfied that the
Government had pursued the most prudent course, and
although the result of that policy has been prodnctive of
nothing but abuse from both parties, yet tiimo only showed
that the course pursued by England was the wisest that
could be taken when the whole of the difficulties of the po-
sition were taken into consideration. The noble lord then
proceeded to touch upon the other topics alluded to in her
Majesty's Speech, and concluded by moving the Address,
but in so law a tone of voice as to be quite inaudible in the
reporters' gallery.
Lord ABERCROMBIE rose to second the Address,
which was, as usual, a mere echo of the Speech. He said
although Parliament assembled this year with a somewhat
cloudy atmosphere abroad, yet, with one or two trifling
exceptions, bright sunshine prevailed over her Majesty's
dominions. He hoped their lordships would unanimously
agree to the Address moved by his noble friend.
The Earl of DEDBY rose, and was
LEFT SPEAKING.
