THE QUEEN'S SPEECA,

The Royal ,Speech having been read, rr
Mr. A. EGEitTON rose to move that humble address
be presented to hCr Majesty in reply to the Royal Speech.
He strongly approTed of the sentiments in the, address of
her Majesty, iia.rtieu;,arly in reference to, the war, • and he
trusted that the feeling' in favour of neutrality on the part
of this country in respect J'o the pending hostilities would
continue to influence the public mmd. He believed that
such a course would prove the .most beneficial that could be
adopted under existing circumstances. (Hear, hear.) . He
trusted that Russia would adhere to neutTality also, and
that the' fears entertained by certain politicians
would prove unfounded. (Hear, hear. He felt bound to
express his approval of the conduct of Government in the
present critical position in which they were placed
by events that -had taken place on the Continent.
(Hear, hear.) With regard to domestic affairs he
considered that the Government acted wisely in,
postponing the question of Reform fel: the present, as
the session would not, from its probable chiration, afford an
opportunity of passing a satisfactory measure ores matter
of such importance. He hoped that, ultimately, the sub-
ject would be satisfactorily arranged, and that in any legis-
lation fora further extension of the franchht the working
classes would form an element. (Hear, hear.) He
was firmly convinced that the present Government
would carry out the affairs of the country with advantaeager,
,
in respect both to foreign and domestid policy. (H
hear, and Oh, oh.) The hon. member concluded by reading
the address to her Majesty, in reply to her most gracious
speech.
• Sir J. ELPHINSTONE seconded the motion. He
believed that her Majesty's Government would carry out
the administration of public;affairs with efficiency ; and he
believed that the attitude of neutrality assumdedietabtedy_this
country at the present time was one that was by
wisdom. (Hear, hear.)
inHereffeerltenbeoeunted ttohedeprec navalatea any-
thing like parsimony,
ment of the country, which he e contendeeffideiesueoyuldrmanbade-
placed in a state of the most_ perfect
that
whatever might be the cost of carrying out object,
it would be found eventually to be the Most economical.
(Hear, hear.) He concurred fully in what had fallen from
the bon...mover of the Address, and he thought that it
would be injudicious to attempt to deal with the question of
reform during the present session.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said he rose to move
an amendment to the Address, and• contended that he 'was
sustained by precedent in the course he nestled: Jae wished

accession to office justified their retention of power, and the
Reform Bill which they introduced failed to satisfy public
feeling, had the effect of displeasing isome 'members of Go-
vernment itself.' The resolatlon of the noble lord, the
member, for London, having been affirmed by the house,
r 1.1. e. thought that such being the case it was
not constitutional far the Government to. - continue at
the hea:_l. of affairs. ' (Hear, hear, and No, no.) He was
not actuated by any fitztious spirit ; but he contended that
the Government should not have accepted tlyi decision of
the house as a vote' of censure. It was neither wise nor
patriotic on their 'tart to have dissolve 4 Parliament
at a time whert the state of foreign affairs rendered
such a proceedim; More perilous. With regard ,to the
Reform Bill introduced by Government, it was not a mea-
sure that secured Ithe-tiympathy and approval of the Con-
servative party. (Oh, oh.) He repeated that statement,
and in support of it he drew attention to the
fact that several Conservative members repudiated the
the measure on the platforni, or at all events did not make
it the basis of their appeals to their constituencies. He
denied that, in making the present motion, there was any
party motive ; and 'he would observe, with reference to
party, that the great Liberal party were rick so divided
among themselves as was supposed, but that they were
ready to co-operate in any course of policy that was calcu-
lated, in their opinion, to promote the nit eiests of the
country.
