i
`Qehe
itsuntide two Houses o
id f Parliament met last night after
Wh holays.
In the Lords a very considerable number of petitions
roernr7 presented in favour of Mr. limes plan of a Pennyuni-
Postage.
Lord BROUGHAM asked when any measure concern.
ing Canada was likely to be brought forward.
Lord MELEOURNE said that such a measure was
tinder consideration, but it was of great importance and
equired much time.
Lord BROUGHAM also asked whether the Govern.

PRINCE,
had yet taken any steps relative to Colone,
who had disgraced the name of a British officer
dY ordering four prisoners taken in Canada to be shot.
The Noble and Learned Lord most indignantly and
Ic)Fluently stigmatized the conduct of Colonel PRINCE,
,/',hleh he said, and pledged himself as a lawyer for
assertion, was wicked murder.
The Marquis of NORMANBY could only say that the
'l:overtime:tit had signified its disapprobation of Colonel
'uNcr's conduct.
Lord BitouGHAm thought that disapprobation was
rl 't enough ; murder required to be severely punished.
The Marquis of NORMANBY was understood to suggest
doubt
whether the conduct of Colonel PRINCE was
and to profess a readiness to lay all the papers
°°tlcerning the business before their Lordships.
Tite Earl of \VINCIIILSEA, on being informed by
'lcount MELBOURNE that he meant to make no ge-
r°ral statement of the principles on which he is
Fconduct the Government, gave notice that on
riday he will endeavour to elicit some informa-
l) presume,' hy makin, some remarks. The Noble Earl, we
f means to taunt the Ministers, after the
Of the Tory press, and will be,heard, we have no
'41413t, by them with silent contempt.
Lord 'BROUGHAM in askinz a question concerning the
present salary of Sir JOHN 111`NEILL, lately Envoy to
Persia, complained of the carelessness of the House
°f Commons 's to our expenditure, and said happily,
ttld with an allusion to Mr. HUME, who was below the
bar of the House, " a generation had grown up which
thew not Joseph." Lord MELBOURNE was not able
t° inform Lord BROUGHAM whether Sir J. APNEILL now
t::eeives his salary or not. Lord ELLzsaotioucw said
If he did, it was from the E ist India Company,
°°t by a vote of the House of Commons. Their Lord-
adjourned soon after six o'clock.
The Commons met at the early hour of three, and
,'"e House, with every part of the gallery, was very
'clri completely crowded.
At a quarter before four, Lord JOHN RUSSELL an-
tl°llneed her MAJESTY'S pleasure—Mr. AantcnomaY
Laving
resigned—that the Commons should choose an-
°ther Speaker. Such a permission to elect an Officer,
:Illose presence is necessary to the functions of the
,leanest assembly, is indicative of the state of vassalage
:"` the Commons in the good old times. The custom

now kept up, we presume, as a memorial of what was
"r'd in order to remind the sometimes proud Commons
51the huinl,leness of their origin.
Mr, HANDLEY proposed Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE as a
L3per person to fill the Chair. Sir STEPHEN
tSHINGTON seconded the proposition. Both Gentle-
'ell justly and deservedly eulogised Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE.
Mr. WyNNE, in a similar strain of eulogy, but applied
a.° Mr. GOULBURN, nominated that gentleman, and was
: e'onded by Mr. WILSON PATTEN. Mr. WYNNE
lPded to the ribald attacks which had been made on
fGouesceN, which had excited, he said, his disgust ;
;1,11(1 Mr. WILSON PATTEN, in his speech, confounded
lion, and Learned Member for Dublin with his
Hon. Friend whose nomination to the Chair
was supporting. If any thing can flatter Mr.
4peONNELL it must be the perpetual allusion to
his sayings and doings, showing that he fills the
'itlds of all his contemporaries in an unexampled man-
hit• He is the " observed of all observers."
When the two gentlemen had been put in nomination,
W. DUNCOMBE rose for the purpose apparently of
tP°vingthat it wasat his suggestion the Post and Standard
I.l%inmended the Radicals to nominate Mr. BERNAL.
;" reproached them in the House for not doing so,
w'r'd eulogized Mr. BERNAL in such a lofty strain, that
w!.ean only wonder at the elasticity of his conscience,
tVeil allowed him afterwards to vote for the inferior
kl.• GOCLBURN. After suitable expressions of gratitude,
det professions of a determination to do their duty and
th iropartially, on the part of the respective candidates,
House divided, when Mr. SHAW LETEVRE was
betted by a majority of 18, in a House of 620 Mem-
fells, including the tellers ; 317 voted far him, and 299
t,°'' Mr, GoueliuttN. That is a measure of the rni.
he°©
with which Sir IrtansEter PEEL would
14vo undertaken to carry on the Government, and which
Was to form into a majority by the help of a few
tr°urt Ladies. He had a lucky escape from more discs-
°Tull deEats than he before encountered.
4'4 answer to a question from Sir R. PEEL, Lord
Qt RN R.CREELL announced his intention of stating to-
4-crow that he would postpone the Education Grant for
th:rtnight, at which the Tories, as if imbued with
sPtrit of the Priesthood, gave some mo,t vociferous
