COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen held a Chapter of the Most Noble Order of the
Garter yesterday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace.
The Knightq Companions of the Order assembled at one
o'clock, in the Palace, and were robed in their mantles of
purple velvet by Mr:Hunter. and Mr. Ede. The Knights
also wore their splendid collars.
Garter King of Arms calle.i over the names of the Knights
Companions present in the Green Drawing-room, and the
Knights and Officers of the Order proceeded into the presence
of the Sovereign, in the Throne or Chapter-room.
The Queen, who wore the Mantle and Collar of the Order,
was seated in a chair of state, Prince Albert being by her
side ; his Royal Highness also wearing the Mantle and Collar.
The Duchess of Sutherland, Mistress of the Robes, and the
Countess of Gainsborough, Lady-in-Waiting, were behind
her Majesty. The Lord Chamberlain stood on the right of
the Queen, and the Lord Steward on the opposite side.
The Knights Companions present were his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Anglesea, the Mar-
quis of Exeter, the Duke of Hamilton, the Marquis of Salis-
bury, the Duke of Beaufort, Earl de Grey, and the Marquis

The officers of this order present, were the Bishop of Win-
chester, Prelate ; the Bishop of Oxford, Chancellor ; Sir
Charles Young, Garter King of Arms ; and Sir Augustus
Clifford, Bart., Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod.
The Knights Companions being seated, the Chancellor
signified to the Queen that the Hon. and Rev. George Neville
Grenville attended at the door, and humbly prayed to be ad-
mitted to take the oath of office as Register of the moat noble
Order of the Gaiter ; whereupon by her Majesty's command,
the Register, wearing his mantle, was introduced between
Garter and Black Rod, the former carrying on a velvet
cushion the Gold Chain and Badge ; the Register knelt on the
left-hand of the Queen, and the oath of office was administered
by the Chancellor. The Register was then invested by the
Sovereign with the Gold Chain and Badge, and having had
the honour to kiss her Majestys hand, retired to his place at
the bottom of the table.
The Chancellor signified to the Chapter her Majesty's
Royal will and pleasure that the vacant stall in the Royal
Chapel of St. George, at Windsor, should be filled, and as by
the statutes none but a Knight can be elected, the Most
Noble Francis Duke of Bedford was introduced between
Garter and Black Rod. The Sword of State, borne by Sir
William Martins, Gentleman Usher, was presented to the
Queen by the Lord Chamberlain, and her Majesty was
graciously pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon
the Noble Duke therewith. His Grace, rising, kissed the
Sovereign's hand and retired.
The Knights Companions proceeded to the election, and
the suffrages having been collected by the Chancellor, were
presented by him to the Queen, who commanded him to
declare that the Most Noble Francis Duke of Bedford had
been duly elected a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the
Garter.
By the Sovereign's command, the Duke of Bedford was
received at the door of the Chapter-room, by the Marquis
Camden and Earl de Grey, the: two Junior Knights Compa-
nions present, and was conducted between them to the
Queen, preceded by;,Garter (bearing the ensigns of the order
upon a crimson velvet cushion) and by Black Rod. His Grace
knelt near the Sovereign, and Garter King of Arms, on his
knees, presented the Garter,and her Majesty, assisted by their
Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge,
the two Senior Knights Companions present, buckled it on his
Grace's left leg, the Chancellor pronouncing the usual admoni-
tion. Garter King of Arms presented, in like manner, the
Riband and George ; and her Majesty, assisted as before, put the
Riband over his Grace's left shoulder, the Chancellor pro-
nouncing the admonition. The Noble Duke again kissed her
Majesty's hand, and passed round the Chapter-table, receiving
the congratulations of each of the Knights Companions.
His Grace then withdrew.
The Chapter being ended, Garter by her Majesty's com-
mand again called over the Knights Companions, who with
the officers of the order retired from the presence of the
Queen with the usual reverence.
The Court was attended by the Lord Steward, the Lord
Chamberlain, the Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gen-
tlemen at Arms, the Captain of the Yeoman Guard, the

FRAUD ON LORD COLVILLE AO;
Lord COLVILLE, who spoke in a very the
tone of voice, complained of a fraudulent and
sumption of his title by an individual calling bgobli
Lord Colville, of Ochiltree. We understood thebt
Lord to say, that this ihdividual, without Olt tlgt
to the privileges of a Peer, made use °'.„,jet
pretence to obtain his liberty from imprisoninen,""ol
the Sheriff of Middlesex in which he succeetieu!ooof
went down to Scotland and voted at the late electifei
a representative Peer for that country. The Nobleiroe
contended there was not a vestage of a claim whic g,
individual could suggest in palliation of his condato if
Lord ROSEBERY understood the general ol_ttletti
this case from a private communication, and ni-eor
that his Noble Friend could not do that whieba;si
sired to do. By the resolutions of which he was ',,"18430
thor, and which had unanimously passed the House lent,
no person except the son or other lineal descenuts",
the brother or a Peer of Scotland, could vote 'rige tri•
election of a representative of the Peers of that coon
without first coming before the House and provolvfote
right to vote. The Noble Lord could not, 01%101
summon the perscn to the bar of the House ;
better plan would be to move for a copy of the P' tto
ings of the late election, and when it was laid ureibl
table a Committee could be instituted to investignoi
whole of the circumstances. When the Ibus„e
adopted the resolutions, they had taken no mess-aafr
purify the list of the Peers of Scotland ; and if, 11.-
fore, the party had voted in right of being a lineLpor
scendant of a former Lord Colville, it would be w-sil
sible to arraign him for the fault with which he
charged.
.411
Lord BRO LIGHA Alionceived th at no other courseT
be adopted than that which had been recommendsuos
his Noble Friend. As the law at present stood 10111,001,
might walk into Holyrood House, and tender his wit,
as a matter of course, without any one hiving the ehof
to prevent its being taken. The only alteration thstAt
been made by the resolutions of 1822 was to pree:.
,persons beyond a certain degree of relationship i..l‘
voting,but they did not and could not prevent persona:,
nor could the House amend the evil, for it was onlyi
case of a contested election that the House had
right to scrutinise the votes.
The LORD CHANCELLOR conceived that the bettyplan would be to consider the future rather than ~sfo
about the past. As the law at present affected the;of
it could not interfere with the personation of a broth fats
a Peer. It was true that before a Peer was able teeffbi
he must come before the Chancellor and prove-they'
to his title before a writ could be issued. essito
Lord CAMPBELL assured the Noble Lord oPrijoe
that a usurpation of a title gave no legal right y 0
ever, and the Noble Lord was wrong in suppesiPedial
the Courts of Westminster entertained the easemrtlo
individual because he had been allowed to vote ”:osiet
election of a Scotch Peer. The Courts at Westin/tors
granted a rule to show cause on that ground, but hie
cause never was shown. In his opinion a law °Jed
be passed requiring that no individual should be
to vote until he had made good his title.
,-Lord COLVILLE gave notice that cn 31°L; lt°
would move for a return of the Peers who _voted
recent election.
The subject then dropped.

favouring the Established Church against the Dissheeo

sented a petition from a place in the county of lie

IRISH POOR.
Lord MONTEAGLE rose to move that a S ri
Committee should be appointed to consider and repo
on the recommendations of the several Parliament
Committees and Commissions on. the state of the Irl,
poor, as relating to the expediency of introducing Pee,
reanently the system of out-door relief for the au' 0
bodied labourer ; and on the effect of such „f
measure on the well, being of Ireland, the iuterests4
the poor themselves, and the immigration of irtfd
paupers into Great Britain ; and, also, to consider 04
to report on the effects of enlarging the press
electoral divisions, for the purpose of raising and le voi
the assessments under the Poor-law. The Noble
said he felt the weight and the responsibilliii?,
of the subject which he had undertaken to brivi:,
before their Lordships ; but, at the same dim
he felt himself free from many of the diffieolosl
which surrounded the discussion of it. In the of
place, he was free from one possible imputation
es,
being swayed by any party views in dicsuseing the quo
tion ; and, in the second place, he was free from t
supposition, in introducing it to their Lordships, thrtoat r
could beswayed by any desire of acquiring popular 'e

would not wish to use any parliamentary take
—to meet a measure by a side-wind—to

advantage of a side- wind.—(Hear.) He desired
the contrary, to meet the matter directly.. libe

before them, and stillz:he believed that many 11,,g

Able to make themselves acquainted with one-teilhie

Many had been so engaged, not upon more impor';,,
but upon perhaps more pressing subjects, so that t'
were unable to command sufficient time to make
selves acquainted with the evidence which had been
duced. In the candour and nobility of their nataa.'",t
he was sure that their Lordships would never stt;;s
themselves to slight or deny this evidence, but be wag
quite sure that if they did cast this evidence alO,-7„51
antiquated and unnecessary, they would at 1.,"e
admit the information which he had to
and if they did strike they would at If"-e
hear before they struck, and grant him that for vm,',"
he was about to ask. He wished to guard bib
self against any misconception on two grounds---'d
first was, that he, as an Irish landed proprietor, desirot
in any way to save his own property, and secondly, tb
he was desirous of in any way increasing his own ,
perry from the public revenue. There was no °1;
0
Tice the landlords of Ireland would not make, if t, abe?
could by doing so raise their country to the' level
England. Nor did he come there to ask for unto%
grants from the revenue. He deprecated many oft7a
gifts of this country, because, in some instances he couie
name, the money had bebn unwisely and too lavishly
given. Smaller sums, if well directed, might have dc'et
more good than all the lavish expenditure they had
,„`";
eently witnessed, and therefore he did not
_.,e°,l-1,
there to ask for large grants from the Brn's9
Exchequer, or to call upon their Lordship
fil
to protect Irish property from a just and oat°r f
taxation. His motion was simply for a Committee o
inquiry ; and looking at the importance of the rneastir4;
and the objects it was intended to serve, he though'
could not well be refused. lie did not ask their reolll'
ships to examine witnesses, because it might lay litav
self open to the charge of wishing to produce delay'
but what he wanted their Lordships to do was, to grnA,
a Committee to examine the written evidence Wine'
they already possessed upon the subject. No oral soil
dence could contravene that testimony ; but s,t'
could that evidence be found he should be snide
ready to consent that the Committee should
go into it.—(Hear, hear.) The great question
in the
which was before their Lordships, was whether,
year 1847, with the experience of the last half conturf
before them, with their knowledge of the state of Ira'
land, with their knowledge of the character of the Irish
people, they were disposed to sanction this eXperitaolll,
to be introduced into this country for the first tune, of
out-door relief for the able-bodied poor of Ireland.
begged they would remember the destruction which he
had laid down. His motion had no reference to theta*:
