ROYAL SPEECH-THE ADDRESS.

The SPEAKER having read her Mbje.ty's Speech,

The Marquis of KILDARE said, in rising to move
that a humble Address be presented to her Majesty in
reply to her roost gracious Speech from the Throne, he
I 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 from 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 satHae-
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, hear.) 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 could not congratulate itself upon.
Ho 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
mentione din the Speech wasj 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. 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 Addres3, which was
an echo of her Majesty's Speech.
Mr. VETO 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 sug-
gest a difference, when the House will naturally desire
to respond with unanimity in the adoption of the Ad-
dress which I have the honour to second.—(Hear, hear.)
Her Majesty congratulates her assembled Parliament on
the continuance of peace; and when we reflect how
much the prosperity of the country is stimulated by
peace with foreign states—how much misery is
averted—we must rejoice in the fact that the con-
viction is generally and deeply felt that peace
should be preserved at the risk of everything
but good faith and national honour.—(Hear, hear.)
Nor can I resist the pleasure of stating my deep convic-
tion that human skill and ingenuity are largely contri-
buting to its permanent continuance. The great media-
Meal power of fee age, that important agent of civiliza-
tion, steam, by uniting the distant portions of Europe,
and consequently binding in ties of friendship and
friendly communication distant stater, will render them
naturally desirous of peace, while the terrible impetus it
gives to the destructive power of armaments renders their
use more unf:a quent and and dreaded. Her Majesty has
graciously ststed her conviction that recent treaties with
Brazil render more hopeful the extinction of the slave
trade.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever may be the difference of
opinion amongst Hon. Members as to the mode in which
this will be iltimately effected, in this I take it we are all
agreed, that we earnestly desire:the utter abolition of this
accursed tut:fie, and

Majesty also congratulates her assembled
Parliament that, notwithstanding the large reductions in
taxation, the revenue will Le satisfactory, and also on the
state of commerce and manufactures, and the consequent
general employment afforded to the working classes,—
