HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH.—THE ADDRESS.

The SPEAKER said that he had that day attended
her Majesty at the House of Peers. Her Majesty had
made a most gracious Speech to both Houses of Parlia-
ment, of which, for greater accuracy, he had procured
a copy, which he would then read.

The SPEAKER theca read her Majesty's speech, which
will be found elsewhere.

Lord BRABAZON said that in rising to move that
a humble address be presented to her Majesty, in an.
swer to her most gracious speech, be felt the greatest
possible pleasure—a pleasure unalloyed by any dis-
agreeable feeling, except that occasioned by his
own utter inability to do justice to the subject
In proposing that an Address be presented to Iler Ma-
jesty expressive. of the grateful sense which the House
retained of the most gracious Speech which she had
that day been pleased to deliver from the Throne, he felt
happy that the subjects to which he should have to draw
their attention were such as would confidently enable
him to anticipate that Hon. Members on both sides of
1 the House would cordially agree with him in the Ad-
dress which he was about to propose. Seldom had t
fallen to the lot of any one standing in the sittiation in
which he then stood to have to direct the attention of
the House to topics of greater interest than those which
had been put forward in the tSpoech from the Throne,
or to congratulate them on more glorious prospects
than those which sere now before them.—(Cheers.)
In entering Kit the discussion in which they
were now about to engage, he should endeavour
to do so as much as possible without any party feeling,
in order to show Hon. Geetletnen opposite that it was
his wish to endeavour as far as possible to conciliate all
parties. The great rbject was to secure the entire and
cordial co-operetion of the House in the Address he
should preeently have the honour to move, The first
topic to which he should allude was not touched upon
by her Majesty in her Speech, though it held a prominent
part in the Address he was about to move. It was a
.subject not more prominent in this Address, than in the
hearts and affections of all her Majesty's subjects. It
was a subject on which his feelings irresistiley carried
him along, and it gave him the greatest pleasure to feel
it was a subject on which he could indulge the full, un-
restricted expression of that pleasure in common with
every other gentleman in the House, and every loyal
subject out of it. The event of such national importance
to which he alleded was the birth of a Princess Royal
of this country.—(Cheers.) On this point there could
be no diversity of opinion ; and he felt he did but do
justice to all Hon. Members when he stated his con-
viction that he did but express the feelings present in
their hearts, in asserting that that House viewed with the
most unbounded delight utd joy that auspicious event.
When the House met last year to address the Throne
on the deelaratjon of her Majesty of an intention to
contract marriage with his Serene Highness Prince
Albert, they did so in fond anticipation that a step,
which was so fully-approved of,and met with such univer-
sal approbation, would, through Divine Providence, be
attended with all the blessings and domestic comfort
and happiness, by which it was the ardent de-
sire of all her subjects filet her Majesty should
be surrounded, If then they did, as undoubtedly
theyl did, derive inexpressible joy from the anticipa-
tions and fond hopes they wore led to entertain,
how rejoiced should they be to behold the accom-
plishment of all those fond wishes, and how gratefully
they should thank the Almighty Giver of all Good
that ho had deigned to hearken and to answer
the nation's prayers to protect her Majesty through
all the perils she had undergone, and to give
to the country it direct heir to the throne,
who, he sincerely trusted Wn!lifl have her mother's sir-
