which the lantern of--the polieenian might at any
moment illumine. (Rear, hear.)

reiolutlons were passed unanimously expressive of detes-
tation ht the late attempted assas.ination, and of an
emwst desire for a continuance 'of our alliance with
the French nation. But considering that the council
h lately petitioned for the amelioration of punishments
under our criminal code, they agreed to petition against
Lord Palmerston's Conspiracy Bill, on the ground'of its
be ng totally inefficient for its professed object, and in-
expedient, as being introduced at the instance of the
French F.mperor, who had enjoyed the sanctuary
afforded by those laws which he now "audaciously and
ungratefully sought to alter. A. committee was then
appointed to prepare a petition in terms of the resolu-
tions, to be forwarded for presentation to Sir James
