-nactment. It is statvil th
Diu the demise of the Cr,

invasion of foreign enemico, or

evil-disposed per:tons abroad or at .
original came of the alteration hi
had reference to the very peculiar
entlinir the demise and the dan;

‘ueeession. It has been generally said,
King WI jam was temporary ; but I apps

vas not the case, hut that it was perrnanei

recognized by a subsequent Act of Queen An
what- vcr were the circumstances which orig

die passing of that Act, no douLt, think, ca.
tained that it was a proper precaution to provide
demise of the Crown should not necessarily put an es,

Parliament, but that there should be a power to co

it in case circumstances might require she deliberate
Parliament. The question now ig, whether or not in

...resent state of business, and whether with reference to
iinsinesis which must be instituted on the demise of th
Crown, and the accession of a new Sovereign, it be more
idvisable, to dissolve Parliament, or to proceed to time de-
patch of business. Now, Sir, 1 have no doubt that under
'nature consideration by his Majesty's Government, with
Idiom it rests to advise, they hove eonsidered it their duty
-o advise a ctimmunication to the purpomt of the Mes-
sage of the Sovereign to this House. The gees,-
ion is, whether or not the House will accede
to the proposal made by the Crown, taking care that they
should make temporary provision for the conduct of public
business; that I apprehend to be the subject for the conside-
ration of the House. Now, Sir, I apprehend it cannot
he questioned, that although circumstances may arise
which may make it necessary for Parliament to continue
its deliberations, yet, upon the whole, there is much
,nconvenienee attending its sitting, when it is known
that at an early period, by law, a dissolution
must take place. The law provides that withih six months
Pat liament must terminate. It is impossible but that the
preparation for the election of Membera to serve in
a new Parliament must immediately take place. Sir,
I hold that the capense incurred by those pre-
gyrations is productive of no gend.—(Hear, hear,)—
That it is an expense not calculated to facilitate the free
expression of the opinion of electors—but that that ex-
:tense incurred in consequence of a six months' preparation'
for an eventual election is an expense which has,
s corrupting rather than a beneficial influence.-1
'Cheers asd laughter.)---I bold also, Sir, that it do al
.übmit the Members of the existing Parliament, who arel
willing to attend here in the performance of their pul.li •
Inty, to an unfair disadvantage. That the parties oppose.l
to them, in the first place, are free of any publ'c aff ur
on account of no public business preesiug on them,
'my which they are enabled to devote the whole of their
attention nit the spot to the promotion of their own inte-
rests, and to act in conformity with the views of those
ireiend them, having the great advantage of being per o a tilt
m the sp it, and being able to devote their attent on en-
rireiy to business,. The consequence, I apprehend, of this,
mass been in former periods when Parliament has conti-1
ruled sitting, after the demise of the Crown, that there has
'seen complaint of the avant of sufficient attendance for public
business, and I find even on the Journals of this House, at
the proceedings when Parliament has continued its sittings
after the demise for the transaction of the business submitted
•o it, that there are instances in which letters have been
addressed to the Sheriffs and Members complaining of the
want of attendance, and requirine, their return to London.
On these grounds, Sir, I think it cannot, unless there hr
special circumstances requiring the immediate intervention
of Parliament, I think it cannot be denied upon time whole,
it is most conducive—most calculated to ensure impar-
tiality betw:en contending parties, for the voicts of their]
emit' tuents—that at as early a period as may b convenient
1
for the public service, time prerogative of the Cio .en should I e'
exercised in funning a new Parliament. Sir, I am quite
aware that since the Act of Queen Anne passed, there
have been instances in which a different course has been
eursued. lam quite aware that in the reigns 101011
immediately succeeded Queen Anne it was u'ual to send,
t message to Parliament, proposing arrangements for thyl
sittings, sod that in conformity with that message arrange-
ments were made. At the same time it must be borne in
mind that the constitution of the civil list was eery
lifferent at that time to its constitution now ; that
at that period the Sovereign was in possession o' the here-
ditary rsvenues, and that a certain sum was voted by Par-
iiament, in addition, in order to make up the deficiency
metween those revenues and the charges upon them ;1
Ind, is point of feet, the time devoted at the
periods I tots speaking of, tip to the reign of Ger roe
to the Civil List, would mot be considered sufficient now
'Or the due consideration of matters of so smell importance.
find, for instance, in the reign of George I. the Bill for the
settlement of the future Civil List, passed with very great
.•xdedition. Queen Anne died on the Ist August, 1714 r
The Act for the arrangement cf time the Civil List was in.
traduced into the Commons on the 12th of August, 1714.
ft passed through all the stages from day to day without
exciting much attention- It was sent to the Lords on th..
17th August; it was returned on the 19th August,
with the assent of the Lords, and parliament itself
‘Vas prorogued on the 25th of August, 1714.
Those periods, therefore, although they were periods in
which the Civil List was settled by Parliament on the
demise of the Crown, were not periods to which we eau
refer at present, I think, is respect to similmr pro
ceedings. Sir, I am quite certain that it must he
time almost unanimeus feeling that on the settlement of time
Civil List, under the circumstances under which the re.
sent claims come, that it is most desirable that tl e Govern-
ment on whose responeibiiity that Civil List is to be settled,
should have a full opportunity of ma tureiy consider-
ing the arrangements, as far as can be given to a sub-
ject EO important, and that the Commons after-
wards should have an equally full opportunity of
deliberaiing on the details of that list.—(llear.;
Sir, there will be to he considered, the Civil List of three
different parts of the Empire—the Civil Establishment of
Scotland, Ireland, and of this part of the Unite
IKingdom. Upon the settlement of the Civil List
fifteen years ago, the general recommendation of
I the King having been gift, at a time when his Alajc,t.
was unrestricted regent, was merely followed in the la
Iraogement of the Civil List when his Majesty succeeded
Ito the throne. At the name tune it ie impossible

,mode w,re transtnittol by Mr. WaruAlra t.) the Society,

been out sevens times in a boat alone, in Cowcs Roads,
during very severe weather, and with that arm which fate
.had preserved, had pulled himkedf ashore in perfect ewe 7,„
and safety. We never recollect seeing an instance of this
invention being put in practice, but many a poor Waterman, r
deprived of an arm, t: ho is now under the necessity of pay-

tageously avail himself of Lieut. WILLIAMS'S ingenious in-

The most strenuous and active exertions are
making to ward off famine in Killarney. A number of
gentlemen have given their horses and carts gratuitously,
to dram home a cargo of potatoes which arrived at Castle-
main for the relief of the poor. On Saturday potatoes
were up t.) the enormous price of Bs. per peck of ten stone,
and an ounce of bread was not to be had for sale in that
town on Sunday last. The flagging of Killarney was
commenced on Monday last, and the enaployin!nt it will
give must afford some relief.—Limerick .Eveni ig Post.
