SUN,

winded the Address thought it a subject for congratulation
that this previous distress had been removed, but he for
one, and many of his Noble Friends, were at a loss to
perceive where the improvement referred to was to be
found.—(Hear, hear.) True the price of bar-
lay and oats had of late increased beyond
trilling extent, but the price of wheat remained the same
now that it was when it was admitted that the agricul-
tural interest was in the deepest distress. They were told
then that the reduced price was the result of the
transition state is which the law placed the farmer; but
they had got far beyond that transition state, and still
the price remained depressed.—(Hear, hear.) For
his part, his opinion upon this subject re-
mained unchanged., He was still of opinion
that the total and unconditional repeal of the corn-laws
would have the effect of making this country dependent
for its supply of wheat upon foreign nations, and he need
not remind their Lordships that such a state of depen-
dence was highly dangerous to the peace of the
land.—(Hear, hear.) He, therefore, was still
of opinion that both for the purposes of revenue and for
the purposes of averting the danger to which he had
just referred, it was necessary to hate some duty
imposed upon the importation of foreign corn.—
(Hear, hear.) Their Lordships would remember that the
last session of Parliament was taken up with a discus-
sion upon a measure for resisting the Papal aggression,
and their Lordships would equally remember that Pare
liacaent established a law upon the subject.—(Hear,
hear.) Now, he should be glad to know what had
been done to enforce that law.—(Hear, hear.)
It was either totally inoperative, as it had been openly
and ostentatiously broken? He demanded some expla-
dation about this matter.—(Hear, hear.)

DEBATE ON TielE ADDRESS.
The SPEAKER having read the Royal Speech from
the throne,
Sir R. H. BULKELEY, who appeared in military
uniform, then rose to move the Address, and begged
the indulgence of the House on behalf of one
who had never ventured to obtrude himself
upon it before, when he was about to advert to subjects
of no ordinary importance in no ordinary times.—
(Hear.) He then observed that the Member who moved
the Address was generally considered an uncompromising
supprter of the Government. That he owned was
precisely his own po.ition.—(Hear.) He had been in
Parliament many years, and during that time he had
seen many advantageous measures introduced for
the benefit of the people, and also many institu-
tions improved and extended—(Hear, hear)—and
they had at last achieved a degree of prosperity
which, in his conscience, he believed had never been ex-
pelled.—(Cheere) The throne had never been better
supported, the Estalished Church had in-
erased its usefulness, her revenues had been
more equitably distributed and her duties more rigidly
enforced; hundreds of churches had grown up, and
thousands of the lower orders had been added to their
congregseions. Education had been more widely ex-
tended and reduced to something like a system. Commerce
had been enlarged and commercial monopoly removed.
—(Cheers.) They had been preserved from European
wars, and maintained domestic tranquillity, and,
above. all the socill condition of the people had
been improved, for without such improvement
it was worse than useless to attempt to improve their
morale.—(Hear.) These blessings and improvements he
ascribed to the sound policy and enlightened views
of a Liberal Administration, and he, as a
Reformer, would consider himself unjust if he
did not:claim for the Noble Lord at the head of the
Government the chief share of the merit in bringing
about such happy results. To his unflinching advocacy
and his strong constitutional liberal sympathies he as-
cribed the success of those measures which first extended
political tights and then improved, the social condition
ofh the great masses of the people of this country.
!se, then, were the reasons why for twenty years ho
had been a humble but not less anxious supporter of the
Nob le Lord and his Administration ; and these
were the reasons which induced him on the
prevent occasion to undertake a task from which
ha would otherwise have willingly shrunk (Hear.)
The Hon. Member then alluded to
the
paragraph— in the
Royal Speech, stating that her Majesty
.had assur-
ance of the most friendly relations
he
neid,
most ons with foreign
I powers. That was,acceptableyias
informationthe of

that we
should remain at peace.—(Hear.)

Sympathy w 3 may always express for them, but fur-
ther,then that, as a name, they:, must nut go. Order
must be preserved, and, therefore, they should not
I speak further upon that ratltter. 11e must now make
mention of a circumstance which had made a most
serious impression on the public mind. He elluded to the
visit of a moat remarkable man (Kossuth) to our shores.
He was the idol of interest, for a time, among every
grade of the people.—(Hear.) The interest, amounting
a!m et to religion, which hie couca.yrnen felt in him,
was equal almost to itlolatry—an interest in which he
he forsts:w a ready sympathy, and in which all %mild be
ready to participate.—(Hear, hear.) But it should be
