ABOLITION OF SLAVERY.

Mr. BEN ETT pre•ented petitions from Rollestnn, King's-
lade, and several other places in Wiltshire, praying for the
Abolition of Slavery.
HIS MAJESTY'S SPEECH.

On the tootion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER, the following passage wax read from the King's
Speech :—" Gentlemen of the House of Commons- - I have
ordered the Estimates for those services of the present year,
fur which the last Parliament did not fully provide, to be
forthwith laid before you."
The Cil ANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved
that the Ibuse should to-morrow resolve itself into a Com-
wittge of the whole House, to take the communication in
his. Majesty's most gracious Speech into eonsideration.
Mr. TENN y ON begged to take the opportunity of cor-
recting a misrepresentation which had appeared in one of
the Morning Papers, of a passage in the speech which he
had yesterday evening 10(46204 to the House. He bad
been made to state that " in his opinion, judging from the
Speech, his alajegy was afflicted by that blindness which.
naturally produced despotism :fl and that that statement
was followed by loud cheers, It must be quite unnecessary
for him to observe that be did not say anything of the kind,
because, if be had, the whole House would have called hint
to order. In the other Papers, and in the Mirror of Par-
liament, what he had actually said which hid reference to
his Majesty's Ministers, not to his Majesty, was correctly
reported, hut— i
Mr. BANKES spoke to order. &dr allusions to the
reports of what took plea within these walls were Altoge-
ther irregular..
Mi. TENNYSON said he should be sorry to do any.
thing contrary to the rules and orders of the Houle; but
he had been anxious to relieve himself from the imputatiOn
to which the error in que*iou must necessarily subject him.
On the Sirragrit's putting this Citencellor of the Ex-
chequer's motion,
Mr. HUME said, he dill not rise either to object to the
motion, or to treepassiong open the attention of the. House.
But he wished to suggest to his Majeity's Government the
great importance, when they called upon the House for
supplies, to be prepared with a statement of the course of
conduct which it was likely they wrth' pupate. his was
anxious to make this remark, because there were passages
in his Majesty', speech which had created great eousterna•
don end alarm, 'espepielly in the money market; and be-
cause the effect would.be'to ,destroy property to an incal-
culable amount, unless his Majestv's Ministers should he

do. As far in tine country as the King's Speech had
re shed, it had alarmed the people with the apprehension
that his Mit,feity's Government, by their interference with
foreign states, vitro About to plunge the country into war.
He himself was satioGotl from the explanations which had
-
bet* ;made, that his Majesty's nevetinnent bad no inten-
tion to appcal to forte, or to risk being driven to hostilities.
But although la;: was satisfied with reference to the inten-
tion of Government, he could not, in common with other
peeions, divest himself of all ?.,oxiety, that whatever might
be the prevent intentions of his filejegly`e Government, it
was not impoeslble, on entering into any negocistions, that
tlioee negociations might end in as unexpected manlier.
At Any rtte it was the duty of the Right lion. Gentlemen

place, in addition to former depreciations.
'The Chancellor of the Exchequer's motion was then
agreed to.
