ROYAL SPEECH—THE ADDRESS.
The SPEAKER having read her Majesty's Speech,
The Marquis or 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 woul', grant him that indulgence
which was always shown to one unaccustomed
as he was to address the House while he
made a few ofsiseriations on the different topics al-
luded to in the Rcyal 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-
tieo, 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 ha( been in great part owing to the
exertions of her Majesty's Government.—(Hear, hear.)
He was glad to find tkat the measures which had been
taken with regard to our relations with Brazil would
tend more than sanest anything: else to prevent
the continuance of the slave trade.—(Hear, hear.) It
was also a source of grist congratulation that, notwith-
standing the teduction if 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 could not congratulate itself upon.
He referred to the state of depression, which
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
vientione din the Speech was! a very painful one, viz.,
the unjustifiable aggression in this country on
the part of a foreign btate. 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 refcrms in the highest court of justice in
the country, and the alteration of the law with regard
to the registration of deeds. Ile considered the
latter measure to be of very great importance.
There was another subject of congratulation to which
be (the Marquis of Kildare) would draw the attention
of the House, which was the state of Ireland. It was
gratifying to find that after that country had suffered
from years of political agitation, men'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-
dence, to raise his country to a higher pitch of pros-
perity than she bad 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 sag-

The doors of the House of Commons were opened
