(EVENING EDITION.)

the House of Lords, after carrying up the Address,
adjourned over yesterday.
The Commons,more attentive to business, after waiting
1,114vr Majesty, received and reported her answer last
which was just as complimemtary as usual.
14.2 n some petitions been presented, for Bills to esta-
te small debt courts, Mr. IlAwlis said such Bills re-

enactments. In that they have a strong family likeness

ellairrortlEtt, a gentleman who made a loud
and empty speech at Lincolnshire, a few weeks
ktP against Corn-laws, endeavoured, by a ques-
t!lon, to extort from the Ministers a declara-
kothat they meant to oppose Mr. VILLIEus'

he was chastised by Sir R. PEEL. That a Ca-

is
rather singular that the condition of Ireland, to
h~ltune reference was made in her MAJESTY'S Speech,
