perience— when your election was proposed and supported b 7 0•
POI, but that the present is au election confirmed b 7 the
voice of both sides of the House, thus confirming the opinion
given by the Noble Lord, the Member for North Lancashire, that
you were elected officially by one side of the House, and that
your conduct in that chair had gained you the respect and esteem et
both.—(Loud cheers.) Sir, I do not wish at all to discuss
the principles on which I acted in 1835 ; but I wish to
mention, merely for the sake of preventing misconception,
that it was not solely because I was of op!nion that the
that ouasion the Speaker ought to be the organ of ipe
majority of the House that I opposed the 11"
tion of Mr. Manners Sutton There were sariouli
other circumstances connected with that election. Hit
qualifications for the Chair—qualifications to wife!) I have ever
borne my humble testimony, were, I adml,very great, but in spite of
the experience which lie had in conducting the business of the

House, and notwithstanding the favourable manner In which his
conduct was vi2wed, I considered it my duty to propose the present
Lord Dunfermline as Speaker, I shall not, however, allude
to the matter further than to say th.(t a mere difference of politi.
cal opinion did not constitute the sole ground of my objec-
tion. The House will feel that it would not be right
for me to enter further into the discussion. lam unwilling to say
anything inconsistent with the respect I entertain for Lord Canter.
!Airy, and the manner in which he conducted the business of
the Houv. I trust, Sir, that in whatever discussions may take
place—whatever warmth of party feeling may be elicited—that
your advice will always be listened to, and that as we are assured
of the impartial manner with which your decisions will be made,
we shall feel that our own dignity, and the convenience of the
House, will be best consulted by at once yielding to that authority,
whenever it may be interposed.—(Cheers.) I beg now to move
that the House do now adjourn.

The question was then put and agreed to, and the House, which
was extremely full and in a state of considerable excitement, then
adjourned till tomorrow.

they also acquiesced in the re-election of 31r. Addiligton. the year
1831, after the accession of Lord Grey to power, that Noble Lord
acquiesced in the re-election of Mr. M. Sutton, now Lord Canterbury'.
In 1833 Mr. Sutton was, with the acquiescense of Government,
again re elected to the chair of this Ifouse.—(Hear, hear.)
The exceptions to the course of these precedents occur
in the year 1780, when Lord North objected to the re-election
of Sir Fletcher Norton, and in 1835, when I myself was called tO
office, the re-election of Mr. Sutton was opposed. I contended, on
that occasion against the principle urged by the other side of the
House. Ido not think it necessary that a gentleman that had con•
stitutionally and ably discharged the shines of the Speakershipof tbe.
House of Commons should be displaced from the office because his
political opinions are not in accordance with those of the
majority cf this House. I will not further advert to the
differences of opinion which prevailed ; it is sufficient for me to
remind the House that I contended at that time for the opT
posite principle, and that I now adopt the sane
course. Of course the principle does not constitute an
invariable rule, for if the Speaker neglected his ditties or showed
himself incompetent to discharge them, it is right for the
majority to object to his re-election ; but the Right Hon-
Gentleman now proposed has fulffled the expectation
entertained of him. He has conducted himself in the chair of
this House in the regulation of our debates with the
highest integrity and impartiality. I think he has manifested in that
important branch of his duties—the conduct of private business—an
ability which entitle him to the respectful acknowledgments of
this House, and by his integrity and impartiality he has
established that influence which tends more to main.
tain his authority than the power with which he may
be vested. Without further discussion I feel great eats''
faction giv. ng my support to the Right Hon. Gentleman who ha'
just been proposed and seconded.—(Cheers.)
Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE said, I feel grateful for the COra.
mendation passed oil me by both sides of the House—cure-
mendations which are far be; and my deserts. I 1,.m
greatly indebted to my Noble and Honourable Friends to'
the flattering manner in which they have alluded to my Past
conduct in the chair of this 11.iuse. I am grateful
to the House for the approbation with which they Pare
received the mention cf my name. I regard it as an ample reward
for all the toil and anxiety which is inseparable from an office •
great labour and rasponsibility, although of high distinction I
and I regard it also as an encouragement to future exertion, neW
that I am again called to preside over the proceedings of this House.
With regard to the privileges of this House, and with regard Wi
the rules and orders for the regulation of our proceeding',
am bound to say that the more intimately I have
become acquainted with the privileges of the House, d-
with the objectsiof those privileges, the more do I see the Ws•
mount importance, and the mo e convinced am I of the awful:
necessity of guarding them with the utmost jealousy eglini
any encroachments—(Loud cheers)—and when I look to the rules
and orders of the House for the regulation of our Preceedin-

Lord J. RUSSELL--Sir,
it is now my agreeable duty to congrett
late you en your re election, or, I think, I ought rather to congratulatewe
p
the House, because, in the first place, the first act in.whid'
have been engaged is one in which the Ilouse has unanitnoustreoye
curred.—(Cheers.) And, in the second place, because
we
have
secured a Speaker to preside over our o" . .de-
bates who, whether we look to his high en_ rtik;he
in regulating parliamentary discussion to his aptitude Fr
conducting public business—to his knowledge of the business of In!'
House, and of the rules and orders for the regulation ofour pro'
ceedings is most craftier' fly qualified to till that high aituation.
Sir, I am sure that you feel as those feel who are best acquaintea,
with the privileges of the House—l am sure that
feel that those privileges arc valuable, not because they
are privileges which are au honour to this House
the maintain and support, but because they are privileges useful to r
people at large, whom we are sent here to represent.—(
And you, Sir, have shown by your conduct at all times,'that
you were ever ready to maintain those privileges as a mark of what
properly appertained to this I-lou e, that you arc ready to ins, la.
tain and respect the other parts of our invaluable Constitutteo.
Sir, it has been my happiness to agree with you with regard
to general political subjects ; and with regard to
reading that should be given to that Constitution ; but 1
happy to say, that the present Is not an °mons:

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness; on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersio
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member •f society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by

this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to cheek the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated she two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.
