their conduct in a light that was unfavourable, whi!e,
tlie Members themselves would be unable, in consel
`the
of attending the House, to clear their conduct!
!from misrepresentation." ! This is unanswerable rea-
soning, and appears accordingly to have had its full
weight with the House.
In stating that many measures are proposed to bei
ipostponed to next session, we should not omit to mention
in particular, the resolutions respecting Canada, which,
in reply to the Hon. Member for Bath, Lord Jow'g
RUSSELL said it was his intention to postpone to the
ensuing year, on the principle that he was unwilling
!" at the commencement of a new reign, when other
measures had been withdrawn, to propose one single
new measure, however necessary, of a harsh and coer-
rive character." Nothing can be more feelingly or
'gracefully put than this ; and nothing, therefore, we
will venture to say, will be more unintelligible to the
Tories. They can understand the propriety of com-
• mencing a new reign on the principle of coercion and
terrorism ; but not on that of conciliation. They have
not yet learned the happy art of enlisting popular
ollection in their cause, as Sir ROBERT PEEL proved
!to demonstration on his last advent to power. They
4can bully, but not conciliate ; dupe, but not convince ;
'promise, but not perform : and accordingly when Lord
J. RUSSELL explained his reasons for postponing the
Canada measure, they stared at him as if they haddbeed
planet-struck. However, the rest of the House
itsympathised with his Lordship's motives for adjourn-
ing the settlement of an ungracious measure ; and
greatly indeed shall we be mistaken, if the country at
large do not take the same considerate and generous
=view of the question.
The peroration of his Lordship's speech was in the
most satisfactory spirit possible. Ministers, he boldly
declared, would not allow the Reform Bill to remain a
dead letter ; but would continue to act on the great
cconstitutional principle that where improvement was
Ineeded, there improvement should be made. They
would bear in mind that her MAJESTY was not the
Queen of the few, but of the many ; that she legis-
lated, not to benefit a faction, but a nation ; and above
.all, that it was her high and bounden duty—expressed
through those whom she called to her councils—to
,promote religious harmony, not religious discord. " If,"
Isaid the Noble Lord, " if we wish to have the whole
community strong—to have them united—to have
them tranquil and contented at home—if we would
have them unstained, unbroken, resolute, and steadfast
against the enemy abroad, it can only be effected by
ruling them in that spirit which is not 'the contrast,
but the very spirit and essence of religion—by extend-
ing to those of a different faith, but, at the same time,
of -a
common Christianity, the hand of brotherly love,
lin the feeling which becomes fellow-subjects, each
making allowance for what he deems the errors of the
other, but each respecting in his own breast the con-
. 4
Iscientious feeling which equally prompts all to offer to
.their Creator the worship which they think most
-41 acceptable." These are noble sentiments, alike
worthy of the individual who utters them, and the
people to whom they are addressed. Bigots have

-itance of Lord ST A NL EY'S, speech ; such the honied'
phrases of which it was made up ! Mete were not
dacrid sarcasms launched against Ministers—no genteel,
r illusions to " thimble-rigging," and so forth ; whence
1 --: ,re dedt!ce the fact that the Member for South Lanea-;
RAshire, hopeless of success on the Tory side of the!
question, is angling for place under a Melbourne Go-
vernment. His speech last night may . be considered;
as the first throw of his line into the stream ; but whe-I
'oi,lther so wary a fish as Lord JOHN RUSSELL will bite,'
t
Nremains to be'scen. We rather suspect not.
l; As As it would pot be expedient however, that Lord
'.3TA N LEY should betray his yearnings after a birth oil
'7- the Treasury Bench too soon, he wisely took the op-;
r:,:_
portunity of making one or too unimportant remarks
on certain omissions in the Home Secretary's speech
—" It might, he thought, have been wise to provide
" against the demise of one so youny as her present
:tiTAJ ESTY, and although the Heir Presumptive was
11
- not a minor, although absent from the country and an,
independent hereditary KING, yet it would have been.
,well to provide, in case of any unfortunate contingency,'
lin what manner the functions of Government should'
the sustained during the period, if such period should., .
unfiutunatelv arrive." This is the most extraordinary.
specimen of reasoning we ever met 'with. His.
:1
Lordship here shows himself in a desperate hurry
'lto provide for the demise of her present MAH
JESTY because she is " so young,"—ju,t as if heri
!very youth were not sufficient proof that no such;
ihurry was necessary ! During the last reign the'
demise of the Crown was provided for, by the pro-
!posed Regency of the Duchess of KENT, because the
reigning Sovereign was " so old ;" but now comesl
iLord STANLEY to show that it is youth, not age, that]
is most likely to descend into the tomb ! Thus, in fact,]
rims his argument :—Her MAJESTY is very—veryl
young; therefore it is absolutely incumbent on Parlia-
ment to provide for a demise which is almost sure to
!follow such exceeding juvenility. Look therefore—
'look by all means to the Duke of CUMBERLAND
he is Heir Presumptive ; and, being a Royal chicken,;
'something of the toughest,—that is to say, having
!reached to within a few years of the term of
of life allotted by the Psalmist to man, what more
likely, than that he should outlive a young QUEEN
of eighteen ? It appears to have been early in the
evening -when Lord STANLEY expressed this strange
anxiety to make provision for the demise of the Crown;
,but had his Lordship expressed it an hour or so after
the West-end dinner-time, we should have been at no
loss to account for the singular hallucination; but
should at once have attributed it to that temporary
obfuscation of the intellects, on which Police Magi-
strates are in the habit of setting a fine of five shil-
!lin:Ts. The remainder of the debate in the House of
Commons presents nothing worthy of comment. 1

01;;e escaped his memory, namely, that at the aecessiol
~:ief our late revered SOVEREIGN, when he and 11.
:4'fory associates were in power, the business of the coun.
Niry was exactly in the state in which it is at the prese!it
Ift rnomentand that, too, without the excuse which
exists now. Lord BROUGHAM then asked the leader
4of the Tory Lords, how it happened that in enumcrat-i
7.' . ing the various measures which had been retarded by
..)the negligence or inefficiency of the-Govermnent, he
,Tt had omitted one Bill of pre-eminent importance : bnii
I,we must give the Noble and Learned Lord's owni
Plvords—would that we could also convey to our reader,'
the inimi:a!)ie manner in which tcy were uttered ll
.‘ There was one Bill," said Lord BROUGHAM
1,, which his Noble and Learned Friend hal
-:.
;,:-.)somehow omitted from his catalogue, hut which!'
.:,11icl passed the other House, and had come iii-4
to their Lordships, and he (Lord BROUGHAM) conldl
makc n a guess who it was that had prevented the furl
ither progress of that Bill, and at whose door the faulty
ilay that a measure considered so important to the
Icountry had not made a more rapid progress.--4
ii(Hear, hear, and laughter.) That Bill came to theirk
!:rlLordship's House a considerable time bae!;, but why
;l
it had not passed their Lordship's well knew, and non-4
among their Lordships better than - his Noble andg
A Learned Friend."—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Hcrefi
Lord BROUGHAM, in a few words, exposed the wholei
fallacy on which it has been the fashion for Lord
• LYNDHURST and his gang, both in and out of Par-
liament, to build against Ministers an accusation of
I• unnecessary delay. The policy of that imprincipledi
•, faction has been to throw every possible impediment iii
the way of the public business in both Houses of Par-
liament, and then they have the brazen impudence to '
/convert the delay caused by themselves into a charge of
delinquency against the Government. Look, we say
again, at the fate of the Irish Corporation Bill. This
measure passed the Commons, and was sent to the ,
Lords more than two months ago. One would have
i
thought that, in the eagerness for legislative employ-k
ment displayed by their Lordships, they would have 4
set to work upon it tooth and nail, if not heart-
- . and hand ; yet there it lies cushioned, in spite
:..of the persuasions and the prayers of Ministers
to induce the Peers to take it into their consideration !.•
Now to every man gifted with common sense or corn-
1,
rrion honesty, it is clear that the mouths of these men
ki
-`are closed by their own acts—that should they note
11, have received a single other Bill from the Commons,.
,- they have no right to complain while they treat those-
sent- up with such neglect and disrespect.
, With respect to Lord LYNDHURST'S pretended`
hope for his party from the accession of our gracious
. QUEEN, it is laughable, after the diabolical manner in
which the organ of that party has been attempting to
:. raise a public prejudice against her illustrious Mother.
. Can the QUEEN put any confidence in, or have any
-predeliction for, men who can act so basely ?
1!' Impossible ! To express such a hope is to
" assume a courage from despair." It is an old de-
vice—it failed with the great Apostate who first
tried it, and there is wondrous little chance of its sue- '

INever was tribute more sincere or better merited
than that conferred by the two Houses of Parliament
on our late excellent KING. It was a tribute which
not the leaders in the two Houses of Parliament
not the two Houses themselves—not those of rank,
, wealth, and intelligence only, but the whole nation,
"from the present SOVEREIGN on the throne to her
, meanest subject, would spontaneously and enthusias-
:'tic4ly have poured out upon him during his lifetime.
There was only one act from the commencement to
the close of his reign that could for a moment raise a
doubt in the minds of the most liberal of his subjects
Hof his sincere, his anxious, and his unalterable wish
to reform the faded institutions of our country, and
convey, not to a party but to the whole nation, the
blessings of equal laws, of wise institutions, and the
greatest possible good to the greatest number of those
whom he was called upon to govern. At the very!
time when his late MAJESTY saw fit to throw off Lord]
MELBOURNE and call in Sir R. PEEL, great allow-1
sance was made for his peculiar situation—the public
!knew tilt band by which he was surrounded. They!
knew the struggles which he had for four years tcA
make against the constant and urgent importunities ofi
his own family—against the intrigues of a powerfull
faction—and against the religious prejudices of a conA
siderable portion of his subjects; and though they`
deeply regretted that he at last gave,way, they sympa-0
thised with him on his unfortunate condition, and feltA

ceeding with his Noble and Learned disciple who leads,
the " embattled seraphim" in the House of Lords.

The speech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL last night in
the House of Commons, on the subject of her MA-1
JESTY'S Message, will be read by all with interest,
and by the majority with feelings of unalloyed satisfac-1
tion. His Lordship, after alluding to the various:
public measures which he felt it necessary to postpone!
to,the next Session—when it is to be hoped a Housel
more generally liberal than the present will be sum-I
.moned to sit in judgment on them—observed, as ma-,
sons for the postponement of such measures, that,
first, " a number of Members, anxious to place them-
selves before those who had hitherto been their consti-
tuents, would have left the service of the House, and
would not attend it on measures of great public im- .
portance ;" and, secondly, that " Members attending
there and' performing their duties to the public to the ,
utmost, would be exposed to the disadvantage which
must occur, that while they were acting in the manner
which they thought conducive to the public interests,
others would go before their constituents and represent
