have no fear of these expressions beiiwesensisyervety
that party to which I have not the !Saran.. lettiistsige
but whose loyalty of heart and honourable feelings as
good citizens I can estimate, and also describe perhaps
better than any one who comes forward as their organ
and representative. There cannot be any systematic
obstacle on the part of this fraction of the conservative
party to a Left Centre Ministry. They would, on the con-
-1 trary, give it their active, energetic, and impartial support
for the sake of the best interests of the country.—( Loud
cheers.) Gentlemen, allow me to tell you that in all
I have said I but reiterate the sentiments which for two
years I have expressed from this tribune. I then de-
manded that power should be placed in the hands of men
that had rot been compromised by measures which the
Chamber had rejected, and that the system of leaving
the Ministry to go on for the time, could only in the
end lead to a great ministerial criris. I said so, and I
was not listened to. The crisis came and now exists--
a crisis which is not of forty days but of two years du-
ration—it began on the day when the system of repre-
sentative Government was set aside. Two years, it is
true, have been lost, but perhaps they have not alto-
ther been lost as regards the political edbcation
o the country.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, we are
readd er a ersat experiment : the Governments which ere
modinee without revolutions, without dangerous con-
cessions, and by legal and Parliamentary means, are the
Governments which are in possession of the greatest
benefits from the representative system. We are mak-
ing an experiment, and it is now evident that we are
conic to a period in our Parliamentary history, when the
old doctrine of resistance and intimidation must give
way to a new and different policy. At this moment it
is necessary for every man to take his part—it is neces-
sary to submit in earnest and good faith to the neces-
sary and free working of the institutions of the country.
That has not hitherto been done—resistance has still
been prolonged—we have had two dissolutions—all the
springs of representative Gcvernment have been
strained to the utmost—the Crown itself has been
thrown into the game, and after all the parties re-
sisting must again yield. It was with great pleasure I
beard all those who were parties in these important
negociations declare that the Crown had con-
ceded everything, both as regarded men and measures.
Thus institution! have not failed the country ; but when
the Crown had yielded all, both with respect to men and
things, with deep regret it must be spoken, men have
failed the institutions, and are divided.—(Cheers.)
'Differences of opinion which I cannot define, differences
which cannot be explained on any serious principle, '
because there is but one opinion with regard to
things, have kept in check the destinies of our
country. Why is this ? It is, Gentlemen, be-
cause, if we sometimes depreciate political men too
much, at other times we exalt them too highly. It is
because their is an evil in our modern society, I mean
human pride, which is indomitable.—(Movement.)
There is in our modern society an evil which
calls for all your attention, all your severity.
It is that individualism, that personal pride,
which decks itself with fine sounding titles,
and calls itself personal dignity, vs if true dignity con-
sisted not rather in self-denial than in the assumption
of exaggerated pretension. On no other principle can
I explain the invincible obstacles which (it being agreed
that there is nc difference as to things) neither the ne-
cessities of the country, nor the deplorable situation in
which it is placed have been able to surmount.
I will say no more on this subject. Heavy is the responsi-
bility of those who have thus sacrificed the interests del
country which has made them so great,so illustrious; which
has raised them to so great an elevation that they might
at the proper time, sacrifice its welfare to such preten-
sions.—(Very well, very well.) Thank God, Gentle-
men, there is no man necessary in our France.—( Very
well, very well.) All great individualities, however great
they be, with whatever rays of glory they may be crowned,
are as nothing; it is not given to them to interdict or
paralyze our institutions, much less to condemn them
to immutability.—(New signs of approbation.) Permit
me to cite to you the example of a man who inspires this
country with but little sympathy, whose very name
awakens sentiments of deep sorrow in every heart.
He personified in himself the glory of his country ;,
he was, besides, an eminent statesman. He
feared not, when the occasion arrived, to submit
his glory, and his high political station, to the necessi-
ties of his party and of his country—to the Parliamen-
tary influences by which that country ought to be go-
verned. Gentlemen, let not this example be
lost ; for, if we owe our country good laws, we
owe it, perhaps, still more good examples. It
is by these examples that we form its political morality,-
and it is, therefore, our duty to set an example of self-
denial in everything and everywhere.—(Prolonged sen-
tation.) Gentlemen, I have not, I confess, seen, without
a certain degree of anxiety, these explanations respecting
the Ministerial negociations, which were not yet termi-
nated. It is a political precedent which may serve to ex-
plain the anomalous situation in which the Parliament,
and the Chamber, have becu placed; but it is a precedent
which has its dangers. Before forming a Ministry, the
Crown wished to put off the Chamber ; it even pro-
rogued it ; then it wished to put off the formation •
of a bureau, and then it put off the explanations
which we at this moment hear exchanged in the
tribune. What will it put °X next ? Let tho
Ministers themselves at least be subjected to a
scrutiny. There is self-denial enough in that respect.
—(Very well.) It is time that such a state of things
should end. The Crown is sufficiently warned,fur the
Chamber could not warn it otherwise without a usurpa-
tion, which it no more wishes than it wishes
the usurpation of other powers.—( Very well.)
Gentlemen, in conclusion I hope these explanations will
be speedily followed by the formation of a Ministry ac-
cording with the opinions of the majority of the Chamber.
1 hope that all the difficulties arising from personal pre-
tensions will vanish, for the responsibility of such pre-
tensions will become every day greater, and if new ob-
stacles and new delays should arise, lam sure I do not
m'stake your opinions, when I declare that you will not
be wanting at such a conjuncture, and that you will
speak out in a language respectful, but at the same time
strong and energetic.—(Loud and continued cheering.)

SUPPOSED CIILLD MURDER.—On Thutsday
, morning a coroner's inquest was held before Mr. Wakley,
at the Buffalo's Head, New-road, St. Marylebone, on
view of the body of a male infant, which was found
in the interior of Cavendish-square, wrapped up in
a blanket. The Jury returned a verdict, " That the
deceased infant was found in the garden of Cavendish-
square, but in what manner it came by its death, or to whom
it belonged, there was no evidence to prove."
There is no truth in the reported death of the
Rev. Dr. Tripp, incumbent of Silverton, and of Same-
' ford Brett, Somersetshire. The Reverend Gentleman as
in good health. The death appeared in a country paper.
We have received much pleasure from the pe-
rusal of a delightful little volume, called the " Hours of
Sadness, or Instruction and Comfort for the Mourner."
It is executed with singular ability and judgment, and in it
the richest treasures of piety and wisdom are made acces-
sible to all. The compiler possesses an elegant taste, a
tender sympathising heart, and great depth of religious
feeling. It is well calculated in the dark hours of bereave-
ment to soath the mourner's spirit, and we are sure we are
doing an acceptable service in recommending this aurae.
tire little work to our readers.
HISTORY OF TILE FRENCH ARMY. The
French Government is about to order a history of every
regiment of the army to be drawn up and continued from
year to year. These annals are to be deposited in the
archives of the respective corps.
The will of Mr. Henry Colliugwood Selby, late
Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex, has beenrecently proved
in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Ilis personal
g aperty, which is sworn under 35,0001., is charged with
a number of annuities and legacies to his relatives, friends
and servants, including legacies of 2501. to each of his
six
executors, and the residue is left to his nephews, Mr.
deaum Selby and Mr. J. S. Donaldson, as tenants it .
corn..-
mon. In the year 1770 Mr. Selby was admitted a mem-
ber of Gray's Inn, was called to the bar on the 6th of May,
1777, and to the bench on the 22d of November,
and he twice served the office of treasurer to the Society''7
lnS
,
he was appointed to the important and lucrative office
Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex on the 16th of
1777, which he held upwards of sixty years, he not having
resigned till within a few months of his death, which took
place in the early part of February last, in his 91st year.
