BUSINESS OP THE HOUSE.
lir. BROUGHAM, who entered the House with an
Immense bundle of petitions, regretted that his Majesty's
Ministers were not then present, it being half-past three
o'clock, and it was arranged that they should be in the
House by that time.
Sir R. PEEL shortly afterwards came in, and in a
very warm manner compleined that the Hon. Member
during-his absence should have made any allusion to his
(Sir Robert) not being in the House. lie would do all
in hie power to facilitate the business, but if any one
looked at the distressed state of the town last night, they
roust imagine that he had a great deal of business to
transact at-the Home Office.
'Mr...BROUGHAM had made no complaint of the ab-
sence of the Right Hon. Horne S'ecretary, but of the Se.
aviary to .-the Ordnanee.s.--(0h, oh ! and hear.)—As to
the charge of complaining in the absence of the Right
Hon. Baronet, he should like to know how, without in.
taming the imputation of the rankest absurdity, be could
with any face complain of a Man's absence in his presence.
see(Hear, and a laugh,)—The a mplaint Mit of the all-
aessee of the servants of the Crown ; and therefore in its
very expression precluded the physical possibility of making
it in their pretteeee.—(Laughter.)-13esides, his charge
teas general—the Right Hon. Baronet was not the only
Minister in that House—in fact, the only Minister of the
Crown sat in another place—(Hear, and a laugh)—and
was not directed against him individually. The Right
Mu. Baronet had referred to the disturbed state of the
metropolis last night as a reason for his not appearing
sooner than ho did then. Now all that he (Mr. Brougham)
could say on that point was, that he had walked in the
Strand end Charing.cross at a Lite hour last night, and
met with nothing to warrant the inference from the Right
Hon. Baronet's declaration. He certainly bad met a
crowd, hut never one more peaceable end less disposed to
riot.---(Hear.)—He saw four troops of police drawn up in
two lines along the street, and waving to and fro from
their want of practice in military discipline ; but as to tu-
mult, or any thing like tumult, he saw none. Ile denied
the fact on the part of the good people of Westminster.
There were a number of men and women and children as-
sembled—all in good humour—but they appeared as if
they were in waiting its expectation of the illumination,
sir of learning whether it might not be a hoax that the
Right Hon. Secretary had written the letter which bore
hie name, or 001,41 Majesty had been induced by him to
postpone, Ida visit, to the eity.—(Criee of " Order.")—
He was decidedly in ordeC—he was replying to the Right
lion. Secretary's observutiore who bad asked—" Could
any one who.ettle the dieturbed state of the town last night
doubt that there would be that morning euflitierit busi-
ness in the Home Office to detain the Chief Sieretary till
four o'clock?" . Now he had seen the state of 'Westmin-
titer yeeberdey evening, and he bad teen nothing in it like
disturbance. .
ItOBERT PEEL said it watt not a very peaceable
at. Temple-bar, or when the mob came in col
lision with the police. Ilia thee had beeta nitwit employed
in moquette* of the disturbance. If there hail been any
arrangement for Ministers to be in the House before three
o'clock, all be could say was that be watt no party to the
arrangement, at the Bane time, when possible, he should
be happy to he there by half-past three o'clock.
Mr. BEAUMONT observed, that as long as the pre-
sent Ministers remained in office, and their nnpopufarity
continued, so long would- there be' plenty of employmen
at the Home (:)!lice...-(Hear, hear.)
