LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 1113

In the Housa of LORDS yesterday the proceedings possessed
a more than ordinary interest. Lord BROUGHAM moved for
accounts of the proceeds of the Duchies of Cornwall and
Lancaster, but the Duke of WELLINGTON suggesting that
notice should be given of a motion so novel, the Noble and
Learned Lord postponed his motion for the papers till Thurs-
day next.
The Royal Message was then read and taken into conside-
ration. Lord Alitteoratis passed a high eulogium en her
Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT, and moved an answer
to the QUEEN expressive of concurrence " in all such matters
as might give effect to her MAJESTY'S most gracious Message."
After a few words from Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the Duke of
WELLINGTON, and Lord LYNDHURST—
Lord Baouoilam observed that ever since the Duchess of
KENT had arrived in this country, her conduct had been be-
yond all praise. " Nevertheless, as they were not assembled
to pass compliments on any personage, however exalted, they
ought, before they pledged themselves to an increase of in-
come, as necessary, to be satisfied as to the particulars of the
cane. He conceived that they ought, in the first instance, to
know what was the present amount of the Duchess of KENT'S
income." The Noble and Learned Lord, whilst insisting
upon the impropriety of legislating in the dark, happened to
use the term " Queen-mother," upon which Viscount MEL-
BOURNE said, " No, not Queen-mother, but the mother of the
Queen."
Lord BROUGHAM !opted that he "admitted that his Noble
Friend was right. On a point of that nature, he humbled
himself before his Noble Friend. He (Lord BROUGHAM) was
rude and uncultivated in speech. The tongue of his Noble
Friend was recently so well hung and attuned to courtly airs,
that he could not attempt to enter into competition with him on
such subjects as these. The motions of his Noble Friend were
more nicely poised and governed on these points than his were.
He was so much better acquainted with the motions of those who
glozed and fawned and bent the knee in Courts, that he could
with the Noble Viscount in such mat-
like the same accurate knowledge
tneorts roert epnr de
tteon
dc otmo paentyet
hints
of courtly phraseology."
Lord MELBOURNE—after admitting that the object now
sought was to pledge the House to an augmentation of the in-
conie of the Duchess of Kent, and that the Government
thought 30,0001. per annum should be the sum fixed for the
future income of her Roy al Highness—replied to the sarcasm
of the Noble and Learned Lord, by saying, " I do not know
what the Noble and Learned Lord means when he says my
tongue is better hung-1 cannot speak of the hanging of the
tongue ; and as to glozing and flattering, I must be allowed
to say I know no man in this country who can more gloze and
flatter, and bend the kneo, than the Noble and Learned Lord
himself, not one; and, therefore, when he says he cannot
compete with me in those arts, I beg leave to say, I feel my-
self totally unable to compete with him when he finds an op-
portunity or an occasion offers for exercising them."
Lord BEGUGHA i
M rejoined, repelling with vivacity the
groundless imputation nsinuated—" I positis ely and solemnly
deny, and I call upon the Noble Viscount to produce his
proofs, that I ever in my life did, any mere than I ever in
my nature was capable of doing, that which the Noble Vis-
count has chosen to-night, unprovoked, to fling out as a charge
affainst me I never stooped to gloze or to bow before, or to
flatter any human being, tench more any. inmate of a Court.
The next part of the insinuation is, if possible, equally ground-
less—that if 1 had an opportunity of having recourse to these

arts, peradventure I should excel in them. I want no such
opportunity. If I did, I have the opportunity. I disdain it."
The episode here ended ; and after a few words from Lord
ABINOER, the Answer to her Majesty's Message war; agreed to.
In the HOUSE of COMMONS, the principal points in the pro-
ceedings were the following :
Mr. O'CoNNELL gave notice that when the commitment of
' the Poor Laws (Ireland) Bill was proposed, he should move
that it be deferred till that day six months.
Mr. HORSMAN moved the appointment of a Select Commit-
tee to inquire how far the intentions of the Reform Act are
defeated by creating and registering fictitious and improper
votes in Scotland.—Motion agreed to, but the nomination of
the Committee deferred till this day.
Colonel EVANS intimated his intention of vindicating in
Parliament, after the recess, his own conduct, and that of the
officers and soldiers of the forcehe had lately commanded, from
the calumnies and aspersions heaped on them by the public
press, and in some degree countenanced in that House.
A not unimportant discussion, for which we refer to our report,
took place relative to the statements recently made by Mr.
LIDDELL, respecting the treatment of 200 illegitimate children
by the Guardians of the Sunderland Union.
Mr. HUME obtained leave to bring in a Bill to define and
regulate the lawful expenses at elections of Members to serve
in Parliament for England and Wales—a Bill founded on the
recommendations of a report of a Committee of that House.
The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, in a Committee on
the Queen's Message, brought forward the recommended in-
: crease of the Duchess of Kent', income, proposing to advance

it from 22,0001. to 30,000/. a-year. - - •
The motion was agreed to—Report received, and Bill or,
deud—Mr. HUME and Mr. WYNN being the only Members
who expressed an opinion in favour of a system of expenditure
more economical than was evidenced by a grant of 30,0001.
a-year for the support of the Duchess of Kent.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in the. Civil
List Bill, which was read a first time.
The House then adjourned.

The proposed addition of 8,000/. per annum to the
present income of her 'Royal Highness, the Duches3.
of KENT, is one which, we are quite 'the
country will accede to 'with pleasure. Whenit is .re-
membered that the illustrious individual; in question is
the mother of our most gracious QUEEN,
,who has
been reared under her auspices with the most exemplary
care and attention, and taught to understand i and re
spect the just rights and privileges of her subjects, we
feel assured that the proposed augmentation, which
will only make her Royal Highness's income 30,0001.

per annum, will be viewed in no other light than as a
debt of gratitude due to her by the people. The
subject was brought before, the attention of the House
of Lords last night, on which occasion some persona-

lities were exchanged between Lords BROUGHAM
and MELBOURNE. We regret this difference, though
as it evidently originated in misapprehension on the
part of both Noble Lords, we have no doubt it is by
this time forgotten.

After what has occurr€d within these few days
who can despair of Tories, or doubt that they are pre-
pared to bid as high for the character of Reformers as
either Whig or Radical ? It may be truly said that
wonders never cease, when Toryism, personified in Col.
SIBTHORP, calls out for a more searching inquiry into
the Pension List, than even Radicalism represented in
the person of Mr. HUME or Mr. HARVEY. But even
that is nothing, for the Gallant Colonel has a way of
his own, and now and then forms an exception to the
general rule ; but the:manifestations shown by Mr.
CHARLES WYNN put the matter beyond doubt.
The extravagant—the lavish—the reckless party who
have granted so many useless pensions—who
have created so mmy jobs for their friends, and
who within twenty years contracted debts, surpassing
in amount any ever heard of since the creation of the
world, begin in later years to show signs of repen-
tance, and a disposition to adopt the old gentlemanly
vices of avarice and economy. This only proves the
old adage that men are the creatures of circumstances,
and holds out the hope that,' while HuME backs the
Ministers, and may, therefore, be disposed to wink at
some of their extravagances, the country is quite safe
when there is a SIBTHORP or a WYNN to act as
guardians of the public purse. The country, pro-
bably, will suffer no loss by the change. If rakes be-
come the best husbands, and thieves have the reputa-
tion of being the best thief-catchers, why should not
the pilfering and plundering habits of those gentle-
men be transmuted into habits of economy, of vigi-
lance, and disinterested patriotism ? We rejoice at
the result, and only regret that the conversion had not

taken place sooner. What would have been the fate
of the Queen DOWAGER'S pension if WYNN and
SIBTHORP had done their duty ; and what would
have been the fate of the 'Whig Ministry, if the Tories
had resisted the extravagant proposition of Lord AL-
T lloßp, and in accordance with the general voice of the
people, moved as an amendment, a grant of 50,0001., in
place of 100,000/. a year ? They have still ample oppor-
tunities, however, for the display of this newly-
acquired virtue, and they ought to be thankful to
Lord BROUGHAM for pointing out the way. The
additional grant to the Duchess of KENT is but a
trifle ; and though 30,0001. a year may be more than
sufficient, still, looking upon it as a recompense for
her maternal care, or in addition to what may be re-
quired for keeping up her rank, as a fund for liquidating
debts incurred in the education of the QUEEN, the coun-
try will not be inclined to grudge the amount. But there
is another field, and a very extensive one, where
the new economists may find labour. The Civil List
is about to be fixed for the life of the SOVEREIGN,
which all pray may endure for at least sixty years. It
is proposed to grant more than half a million, in addi-

tion to these annuities of the QUEEN DOWAGER, and
Mother of the QUEEN, for the maintenance of the
SOVEREIGN, and that this shall continue to be

paid (for it may be more than half a century) whatever
reduction may take place in the price of the necessa-
ries pr luxuries of life. It is impossible to calculate
the changes that may take place by the abolition of the
Corn Laws, by the effect of Railroads all over Europe,
and by new discoveries in arts and manufactures.
Many articles have fallen in price one third, some
one half, within twenty years ; and whatever future
reduction may take place, this sum must still be paid.
Looking at the losses which the landowners may sus-
tain by these causes, Colonel SIBTHORP would ob-
tain great popularity, both with men of his own class
and with the manufacturing population, if he were to
propose that there should be a revision of the Civil
List at the commencement of every New Parliament.

Lord BROUGHAM'S repeated violations of the ve-
nerable usages of the Upper House of Parliament
begin to fill us with the most serious apprehen-
sions. Night after night does the Noble and
Learned Lord set the hereditary wisdom of the empire
gazing aghast, horror-struck at the profanity with which
he bounds over the restrictive mounds heaped to-
gether for ages, to impede the progress of public busi-
ness in that august assembly. But the previous
infractions of Parliamentary usage by Lord BROUGHAM
were as nothing when compared with his offence last
night, in moving for Returns of the Revenues •f the
Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster for the five years
preceding 1837, without having previously given
notice to the Peers of his intention to make so extra-
ordinary and unprecedented a motion. happily, the
Duke of WELLINGTON was at hand, to vindicate the
authority of the usage which Lord BROUGHAM was
about to set aside, and we rejoice to add, his Grace
Was successful. But will the country do justice
to the chivalry of the Noble Duke ? We fear
not. The people will declare themselves on the
Ode of his Noble and Learned Opponent, simply
because they have long condemned the retention
of the revenues of these Duchies by the Crown either
for its own use, or as the trustee of any branch
Of the Royal Family. For ourselves, we believe the
best thing Parliament could do,' would be to take the
entire management of this property into its own hands,
and to allow the Crown in lieu thereof, an annual
