TILE LORD CHANCELLOR.

But, my Lords, the destinies of the country are in your
bands ; you have the power to ward off this great calamity ;
4
i temporizing policy must be your destruction. Let me con-
'ttil!'ie you, then, by voting against the second reading of this
to avoid those calamities which menace the Constitution.
NApril 13, 1832.
k,Aly Lords, I shou.ld bo ashamed to hold the situation of a
4tnister of the Crown:, and to suffer such an article as that
I read to-day in the Times newspaper to go unprose-
:tod and unpunished. should consider it as an act little
tiort of treason to iuy S a.- ereign, as calculated to degrade
the.
tiMonarchy of the country, as the most scandalous derelic-
°4 of duty that ever man committed towards the King and
the
, laws and constitutiorr of his country. The daily calum-
nies to which I have been exposed, as far as they relate to
ZYself personally, I utterly' despise : as far as lam myself
'4lcerned, I treat them with ineffable scorn.

.Sir fi:DWARD KNATCHBULL, speaking of Sir Robert Peel,
Right Honourable Secretary might endeavour to
t"
I!Plain that part of his conduct which, he would take the
luerty to say, appeared to him at variance with his former
tlitical life. That explnnation might be attempted by the
hzight Eonourable Gentleman ; hut that confidence which had
en hitherto accorded to public men, had received a blow
0111 which it would :4EVER recover. "Nusquam tuts fides."
A
genc.l'ai feeling of dil-content pervaded the minds of all men
a:T this subject. The chaeter and reputation of public men
were of the highest importance to the State; and it was,
therefore
to be regretted, that in consequence of the course
‘!bich had been lately pursued, uublic men would hencefor-
:ard be viewed with a jealous and suspicious eye by the nation
'4l large.— March 17,1829.
~-LQAD E-LLENBOROUGH generally answers himself, and there-
fore no one has ever taken the trouble to recollect any of his
tentitneirts-
Lord Ana &DERN, when Foreign Secretary, was always sup-
P''sed to do, and to say whatever the Duke of Wellington
teeased.
t SIR GEORGE MURRAY obtained the support of the Dissen-
ters by promising them his on the hustings, in the month of
aY last ; and, in return, voted against them a few days after-
ail's- [See list of minority on Universities Admission Bill.]

Principally ;notorious for having intrigued to break up a
°vernrnertt of which he was a member, in 1828.
Mr. GOVLBUEN.—/si,sver listened to by the House, and
therefore his speeches axe not remembered, but all his votes
hive been the most illiberal.
it At. BARING.—When the Bill ;gas passed, for I admit that
must pass, what a state (referring to the wishes of-the
;13nntry) would any unfortunate Government be in, which
il
the°llld 13 017 come into office ! The country, doubtless, would
14e.4 be made to say, If vou had left our old reforming Govern-
-11, "t in poo-er, they had projects in view which would more
4 have realized all our expectations.—May 14, 1834.
her• Baring so invariably answered himself in every speech
) ever n lade, that it is needless to charge him with new in-
bensistey,oy. His declaration in favour of a scramble may
ttc set- off against his uniform opposition to the relief from
atio?„.
Art L na GREY..—Ouly- known for having, all, his life, child-
41p layed alternately at soldiers and sailors. A member of
the
Y acht Club, and Colonel of the Yorkshire Yeomanry
ii4Agars..—a, corps in which fat farmers are ridiculously dressed
14,40 rt pelisses, trimmec: with black sheep-skin and worsted
14111- CHARLES WYN/q.--A. , member of the Whig Govern-
nt, till repugnance to the Reform Bill induced him even to
n,t) his place. Forn-ierly unmannerly, dismissed by the
DDukeif Wellington for his liberal tendency to small reforms ;
e 7 res tored solely for his subsequent opposition to the great
coent siece carried by the people.
