he meant to divide the House. He had merely addressed
his observations to the discretion cf the Noble Earl who
had made the motion. If the t'eble Earl persisted, why
then the tkoutk• bad no choice. They must proceed, and
it was a the last importance to their own dignity, and
even to the preservation of their privileges, that what they
did should be done unanimously. What his Soble Friend
had stited as to scurrilous attkt•ki.. on the Illustrious and
Royal Lady alluded certainly gave him great pain, and
he was !..sto;;;shed that such should have been made, well
knowing how entirely they were without foundation. fh.
certainly had never heard of them.
Lord ROLLE bore the strongest testimony to the ex-
cellent character of the Illustrious and Royal personage
alluded to.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—This was the
very paper in which the scandalous allusions to that Illu„
trious te.d!,7 had been made. As to the paragraph i❑
qneiLion, it was a libel, not merely on the Noble Earl,
but on the whole of their Lordships. He differed widely
from the Noble and Learned Lore on the woolsack, who
argued that it would be better to pass the matter over, It
was an outrage on the House, which must be noticed.
Their Lordships were called " things with human preten-
sions." What ! could it be endured that they should be
called " things with human pretensions ?" Things with
human pretensions ! That applied to all their Lordships.
It was one of the greatest outrages on the House that he
had ever seen or heard of; and yet the Noble and Learned
Lord wished to treat it so tenderly, that one would almost
think that he himself had been a writer in this paper.
As to the allusions to an Illustrious Lady, the Noble and
Learned Lord ought to have directed the authors to be
prosecuted by the Attorney-General.,
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Why he had stated that
he had never heard of them ; and the argument of the
Noble Marquis wait " because you have never heard of
them, you ought to have directed the authors to be prose-
cuted."—(A laugh.)
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—The Noble and
Learned Lord had heard of them now ; and it was to be
hoped he would lose no time in ordering a prosecution.
Lord TEYNHAM was present when the Noble Earl
(Limerick) made 'his observations, and knew that the
Noble Earl had said nothing to call for such an attack as
this. Their Lordships had seen what had been done by
the Newspapers in France, and this ought to he a solemn
warning to them to put some check on the Newspapers
here, and not allow them to carry their license to such a
dangerous extent. _ _

The motion, " That the Printer of the Times be
brought to the Bar to-morrow," was then put and carried.
Lord ROLLE begged leave to auk the Noble Earl at the
head of the Administration, whether he had not received
some papers from the Rotunda ; and, if he had, would the
Noble Earl he pleased to mention the nature of their con-
tents ?

Earl GREY said, that he had received the papers al-
luded to, but had not bad an opportunity of examining mi-
nutely into the nature of their contents.
Lord ROLLE—Was there any thing in them about the
Archbishop of Canterbury ?—(Order, order.)

. -
Earl GREY—There was something in them about that
Very Reverend Prelate, who was represented in a situation
vet).- inconsistent with his dignity and station.
Lord ROLLE—Had the Noble Earl ordered a prosecn-
tion by the Attorney-General ?
Earl GREY, as we understood him to say, answered,
that he had not examined the papers so minutely as to
enable him to make up his mind on that subject.

ter in favour •f the Ministerial plan of Reform.
The Bishop of ROCHESTER presented a petition
