venture to use such a privilege, wherefore should they
dare to act in conformity with that which their under-
standinss dictate ? Wily should they not give way to
persons so much better educated: or legislation—SO much
more familiar ‘vith imstory and pmrisprudence—so care-
fully selected for the oflice of legislators on account
of their superior knowledge and undoubted integrity ?
I' is to be presumed fast, upon such grounds as these,
the Radical Member.; of the House-of Commons think
, , .
themselves
ent.tieu to call in question, not merely the
amendments of the Locds to die Municipal Bill—for
their right to do that no one disputes ; but the propriety
of their Lordships, according to time present constitution
of their House, tieing allowl to make amendments
at all, or to do any:hing except aoree to what
the Commons have determined upon. iNlow, we appre-
hend that no rational creature, after having calmly
omsid'ered for a little while the • respective claims of
their Lordships, • and of the Radical Members of
the Honss of Commons, to respect and confidence, as
framers of laws, can choose but smile at the comical
extravagance of the notion that the claims of the latter
arc paramount. We do not mean to say that all the
Members of the House of Lords are wise men—far,
from it ; but we do ceroinly do mean to say, and we
appeal to the common sense of the people of England,
in -perfect confidence that it will deesle with us—we do
say that, for knowledge, independence, justice, and
regard for the people and their liberties, the Peers
arc, as a body of legislators, a thousand times more to
be' prized and trusted than the Radical Members of the
House of Commons. We speak within bounds when
we venture to say that a more despotic body of men,
exercising power, has not existed in this coun-
try since the Star Chamber •wes abolished than
the Radical Members of the House of Commons. What
cruelty has been submitted to them in the shape of
legislation that they have not sanctioned ? .Who :are
first in their suggestions, and most - eager in' their de=
moods for the exerciseoof the authority of tine' House
:of Commons, to thrust people into Newgate.who have
had -no opportunity of making a defence ? .Who arc
• ;fie most ready for the confiscation of rights and privi-
leges ;Ton evidence which has never been sifted, and
which at best is but common assertion, not having been
taken on oath ? Who was it that last year ordered a man's
house to be entered, and his papers to be seized and
brought before them, without asking his leave or prov-
ing him guilty of any offence ? The Radical Members
of the House of Commons have done these things, and
yet, forsooth, out of their superior love of liberty and
of the people, they are to take upon 'themselves an
authority which they deny to the House of Lords !
We need not inquire into their education—their
habits of deliberate investigation—their love of the
constitution—the independence and integrity by which
they have obtained seats in the House of Commons.
There is no need of such an inquiry as that :—circum-
spice ! Look at the O'Connell tail—the illustrious
thirty-nine ! What thirty-nine Members of the House
of Peers can compare with them for erudition, inde-
pendence, freedom in themselves, and determination to
obtain it for others? All the O'Connells are, of
course, equally profound and polished—equally superior
to any similar number of hereditary legislators in the
Upper House, for whose legislatorial privileges no more
becoming illustration can be found than that of the
absurdity of "hereditary tailors !” There may be some
who doubt their superiority, but evidently they think so
themselves, or the head of the family thinks so, and
that is enough. We cold and ignorant Saxons are not
to be presumed capable of understanding the true
nothingness of our hereditary Nobility—the O'Con-
nells must be suffered to judge for us. But to return
to the meeting of to-day. Lord John Russell, we
apprehend, will be not unwilling to descend several
steps from the altitude of defiance to. the House of
Lords, which he ventured upon in the latter part of
his speech, when their amendments came down to the
House of Commons. He will, we venture to prophesy,
hark back upon the first part of that speech, and pro-
pose that, with the amendments of the Duke of Rich-
mond, which hitherto their Lordships have rejected,
the alteratio'ns of the House of Peers should be
agreed to ; but he trembles lest his Radical friends,
who are burning with zeal to destroy the House of
Lords, nay not agree to this ; and we believe that
much exertion has been used within these few days to
calm their perturbed spirits. Such a man is Mr.
O'Connell, that we should not be at all surprised if,
at the meeting to-day, he were to take the cause of
the Minister in hand, and be the most earnest in per-
suasion to his fellow Radicals to adopt a conciliatory
course with respect to the House of Lords.. He is
sharp enough to see that the attempt to get up a crisis
has been a failure.—Morning Herald.

DUBTIN STEAM PACKET COMPANY.

Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from Holy11.!.;d,
( is we understood) fLgainst this Bill.

ABERDEEN SCHOOL'.

Mr. BANNERMAN brought up the port of the Corn-
roittee on this Bill. It was his i tenticn t r make a motion on
tbe subject of this Bill ; but as he did not see the Right Hon.
Gentleman (Sir G. Clark) in his place, he would defer his
mot on till Monday.
On the motion of Sir J. Y. BULLER, the Newto.t Ab')ott
Improvement Bill was read a third time and pas 3: d.
On the motion of ihe s ame HoN. MEMBER, the Bradf,,rd
Estate Bill was read a first time.

Mr. VIVIAN moved the third reading of the Aberavon

On the motion of Lord FRANCIS EGERTON, the Com-
mittee on the Liverpool Dock Bill, obtained an extension of
tl.e time to make their report.
Sir J. R. REID presented a petition from Dover, corn-
p'aiaing of the charges on Police Insurances.
IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS.

Sir ROBERT BATE SON had a petition to present-from
a large portion of the respectable inhabitants of the city of
Londonderry and its vicinity, praying that House to pass the
Irish Municipal Bill as amended by the Lords.—( Hear.)
That:was not one of the hue and-cry petitions with which
the House had been inundated for some time past. in accor-
dance with the orders issued from the Secretary or Adjutant-
general at the head-quarters of agitation in Dublin. The
petitioners were deeply impressed with the noble and spirited
conduct of the House of Lords, and expressed their conviction
that the House of Peers was the best protection against the
efforts of evil and designing men, to subvert the third estate
of the realm.

The SPEAKER hope I the Hon. Vember was not going to
read all the petition.
Sir R. BATE SON would merely read its prayer, which was
that the House would accept the Bill as amended by the
Lords, and thereby restore peace to that too much distracted
country. The petition was signed by 600 of the most re-
spectable inhabitants.
Sir ROBERT FERGUSSON had a petition to present
from the same place. It was agreed to at a public meeting,
over which the Mayor presided. The petitioners complained
f the manner in which the Irish Municipal Bill hat been
treated by the House of Lords—(Hear, hear)—and prayed
that no measure of Corporate Reform would receive the sanc-
tion of that House which did not place, the Irish people, on, the
saute footing as the 'other parts of the empire.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented petitions from Ballemeea,
in the county of Antrim ; Cookstown, in the county of Ty-
rone; Seapatrick and Aghadea,: .iu thQ‘.county -of. Down;
and Drumcree, in the county of Armagh. These are from
the most Protestant parts of Ulster, and pray for Municipal
Reform on the same principles as England and Scotland, and
state generally that the refusal of such Reform would be an
infraction of the articles of the Union, and would prove the

necessity for its repeal. Also petitions to the same effect from
Raheen, in Queen's County, and Mosstown.
Mr. STRUTT presented a petition from the Town Council
of Derby, stating that they could not employ terms strong
enough in praying the House to reject the Irish Corporation
Bill as sent down by the [louse of Lords; one to the same
effect from 2,000 inhabitants of Derby, and one to the same
effect from Loughborough.
Mr. GILLON presented a petition from a place in Lin-
__ _ _ _

lithgowshire, to the same effeci.
The LORD-ADVOCATE presented a petition from-the
borough of Castledouglass, in Scotland, against the Lords'
amendments to the Irish Municipal Bill. The Hon. Member
said the people of Ireland ought never to rest content until
they were put on an equal footing with every other portion of
the empire.
Mr. H UME presented a petition, most numerously signed,
to the same effect.
Sir G. SINCLAIR wished to know the prayer of these
petitions. He thought it important to ascertain whether they
called upon that House to reject the Lords' amendments alto-
gether, or whether they prayed for the adoption of any other
measure, such, for instance, as that of the Duke of Richmond,
which proposed to give corporations to some of the large towns.
The SPEAKER called the Hon. Member to order.

Sir G. SINCLAIR again rose to give notice, when be
was again called to order by
The SPEAKER, who said it was competent for the Hon.
Member to move that the petitions be read ; but it was irregu-
lar at that period to give notice of any motion.
Mr. HUTT presented a petition from HUH against the
Lords' amendments to the Irish Municipal Bill.
Mr. R. WALKER presented a petition from Bury on the
same subject.
