t)F TDB PUBLIC JOURNALS.

It is unnecessary to direct the particular attention of
our readers to the proceedings in Parliament liat night,
for every thing at this moment combines to render them
veinier) objects of public curiosity and general anxiety.
The first public appearance of a new Ministry, and still
snore of a new Opposition, is always matter of study;
but, under present circumstances, the interest is the more
exciting, because the party which has just come in mutt
he expected, from its long exclusion, to look awkward in
place; and the party which has just gone out is so formed
to support official measures, that it is difficult to suppose
it can now oppose them. They have, however, each
taken up their positions, and directly adverse to each
other. As soon as the doors of either House were
opened, every space allotted to the accommodation of
strangers was occupied, the members of the Bar forming
a large portion of the audience. In the House of Lords
the throne tees uncovered, as, on these occasions, it is ge.
nattily supposed that the King is present. The side door,
leading from the House of Commons, was not, therefore,
thrown open. Mr. Brougham was in waiting in the Lord
Chancellor's room until withina few minutes of fouro'elock ;
but as his patent of Peerage ha') not been made out, ander
tan introduction of a eewly.creat, il Peer takes, plseeafter four
o'clock, that Learned—Perrianage entered the house of
Lords, and took his teat on the Woolwich, merely in his
rapacity of Speaker of the House, and not as a Peer.
Their Lordships shortly after adjourned, but resumed a
few minutes before five o'clock. Earl. Grey then entered
and took his seat on the front Ministerial bench. Lord
Durham and the 'Marquis of Lansdowne took their
"au betide the Noble>. Premier.,, The Duke of Wel-
lington entered the /totem shortly after, and took his neat
on the bench immediately opposite the Members of the
new Administration. The Lord Chancellor resumed his
mat on the 'Woolsack. Some petitions were presented on
the subject of Negro Slavery, and the Marquis of Salisbury
postponed hie motion respecting the poor laws to a future
day. An occasion MA then taken to draw from the new
Ministers an exposition of their future policy. The Mar-
quis of Lansdowne laid the train, by presenting a petition
an the subject of Parliamentary Reform. He stated that
be agreed in the prayer 'of the petition, so far as to ad-
mit that some change was necessary in the state of the
representation ; but still he deprecated being called a
" Parliamentary Reformer." Some change was neces-
sary to keep pace with the progress of science and
discovery; but has should not Advocate any that slid not
give property and knowledge.—the two great compo-
nente of civilized society—a preponderating share its
the Legislature..,..-(Cheers.) The Premier then rose, and
all were blotted to hor him. lie began by saying 'hat
he hoped his opinions upon the subject of Reform were
not so unknown to the Howie or the country as to require
a formal avowal of them in his present situation. The
Noble Lord added, " 1 have stated upon former occasions
to this House, what I now repent---that
,the Government
should take into their immediate coludderation the state
of the representation of the people in Parliament, with it
view to correct those defects which time, may have pm'

public mind which the Parliament, as constituted at pre-,
seat, does not, in toy opinion, enjoy to the full extent

country. I then stated, and I now re-state, that lam
not one el those who will support any of threw fanciful
and extreme plans of Reform which, in my opinion, would
not lead to real and substantial Reform, but to anarchy
and confusion. I have never supported, and Ido not in..
tend to support, those principles of universal suffrage
which some would advocate—for my object is not the up-
setting of the institutions of the country. I should not have
accepted office, if I had not received his Majesty's sanction
for the diticussion of this important question. As to ro-
duction of expenditure, we pledge oureelves to adopt
every practical retrenchment in every part of the Govern.
