GOVERNMENT MEASURES.
Mr. HAYTER rose and said—Perhaps it will be
convenient to the House if I state the order in which
her Majesty's Government propose to submit
certain measures for the consideration of the House.
Therefore I beg to state that on Thursday, Feb. 6, the
First Lord of the Treasury will move the following
resolution :
" That this House will not proceed on any motion for
an Address to the Crown, to which opposition is offered,
but in a Committee of the whole House, except with re-
spect to matters which have been previously submitted
to riSelect Committee."
On Friday, September 7—(Laughter)—he meant Feb-
ruary 7—the Noble Lord will move for leave to
bring in a Bill to prevent tha assumption of certain
ecclesiastical titles in respect of places in the United
Kingdom. On Friday, the 14th February, the Chan-
cellor 'of the Exchequer will make his financial state-
ment.—(Hear, hear.)
ROYAL SPEECH—THE ADDRESS.
The SPEAXER having read her Majesty's Speech,
The Marquis of KILDARE said, in rising to move
that a humble Address be presented to her Majesty in
reply to her most gracious Speech from the Throne, he
hoped the House would grant him that indulgence
which was always shown to one unaccustomed
as he was to address the House while he
made a few observations on the different topics al-
luded to in the Royal Speech.—(Hear.) It was a subject
of sincere congratulation that her Majesty should con-
tinue to receive assurances of friendship frcm all foreign
states. It was also most gratifying to find that at the
present moment peace had been restored over the whole
continent; and it was a source of still greater satisfac-
tion, that while there had been wars over a great part
of the continent, this country had for years enjoyed
uninterrupted peace.—(Loud cheers.) It was also
a subject of congratulation that the universal peace
which now existed had been in great part owing to the
exertions of her Majesty's Government.—(Hear, hear.)
He was glad to find that the measures which had been
taken with regard to our relations with Brazil would
tend more than almost anything: else to prevent
the continuance of the slave trade.—(Hear, bear.) It
was also a source of great congratulation that, notwith-
standing the reduction of many taxes, the country was
still in a flourishing state.—(Hear.) The next subject
mentioned in the Royal Speech, he regretted to say,
this country
He referred to the state of depression, which
could not congratulate itself upon.
the landed interest was now lying under.—
(" Hear, hear," from the Opposition benches.) But he
thought that whilst the other classes of the community
were in a prosperous state the condition of the landed
interest must before long improve. The next subject
mentions din the Speech wasi a very painful one, viz.,
the unjustifiable aggression in this country on
the part of a foreign State. It would be the duty
of this House, while it maintained the religious
liberty of her Majesty's subjects, to consider the
measures which were to be brought before it for
the purpose of maintaining her Majesty's supremacy
and the established religion of the land.—(Hear.) The
next subject alluded to by her Majesty was the in-
tended reforms in the highest court of justice in
the country, and the alteration of the law with regard
to the registration of deeds. He considered the
latter measure to be of very great importance.
There was another subject of congratillation to which
he (the Marquis of Kildare) would draw the attention
f the House, which was the state of Ireland. It was
gratifying to find that after that country had suffered
from years of political agitation, rnen's minds were being
drawn from political matters to industrial pursuits, and
such occupations, he (the Marquis of Kildare) believed,
were calculated, under the blessing of Divine Provi-
deuce, to raise his country to a higher pitch of pros-
perity than she had ever before enjoyed. The Noble
Marquis concluded by moving the Address, which was
an echo of her Majesty's Speech.
Mr. PETO rose and said—Mr. Speaker, before I ven-
ture on the topics which the occasion and the gracious
Speech from the Throne naturally suggest, I must throw
myself on the kind and never-failing indulgence of the
House, and state at once my great anxiety that no word
shall escape my lips which shall Court debate, or pug-
