.1%1 PE RIAL PARLIAMENT
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships met at Five o'Clock.
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY DEVIATIONS.
AMENDMENT OF ACTS, ALTERATION OF
TOLLS AND OF EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAIL-
WAY TOLLS BILL.
Lord BEAUMONT said the object of this Bill was to
increase the tolls for the conveyance of sheep and other
animals. The railway was not opened in its whole length.
Several Noble Lords connected with Lincolnshire had
intended to oppose the Bill, and,tin the understanding that
it would not come on until Tuesdaythey were absent. He
' had several petitions from the fteteulturists of Line°lu-
shire against the Bill, praying for the recommittal
of the Bill, and that they might be heard by counsel
against the Bill. Lord Carrington and Lord
Willoughby, who understood that tho third read-
ing would not come on until Tuesday, were absent,
therefore he hoped that the Noble Lord who had charge
of the Bill would postpone the third reading.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE objected to any postponement
of the third reading.
Lord BEAUMONT had on a former occasion moved
the postponement of the third reading, but he
was told he could not not move the postpone-
ment then, because no motion for the third reading
had been given,l these Noble Lords also understood it
would be postponed to Tuesday, and he hoped that un-
derstanding would be adhered to.
The Earl of GRANVILLE, suggested that the Bill
should be postponed to Tuesday.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE hod no objection, under the
circumstances, to postpone the third reading to Tuesday.
LIVERPOOL WATERWORKS BILL.
A NOBLE LORD presented a petition against this Bill,
which was ordered to be referred to the Select Com-
mittee on the Bill.
The Earl of EGLINTON presented several petitions
against any infringement of the Ten Hours' Act.
LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion of the Marquis of WESTMEATH
this Bill was read a third time and passed.
PUBLIC HOUSES BILL (SCOTLAND.)
On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
The Earl of MINT() expressed his objections to cer-
tain portions of the Bill, which gave too great power to
the local authorities, and gave no appeals.
Lord KINNAIRD said the Bill was necessary:in order
to put an end to the canvassing of magistrates by attor-
nies. The magistrates of towns thus canvassed fre-
quently reversed the decision of the local court justices.
The Earl of EGLINTON supported the Bill.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
SMALL TENEMENTS pttECOVERY (IRELAND)
BILL.
This Bill was-read a third time and passed, with the
addition of a clause moved by the Earl of Liman.
ASSAULT ON HER MAJESTY.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose and said—l feel
it is but in accordance with the respect that is due to the
House that I should allude to a subject, and I shell
merely allude to it, of the occurrence of which I have no
doubt but that every one of your Lordships have
already received information.—(Hear, hear.) I mean
the atrocious attack which was made on the person of
her Majesty last evening.—(Hear.) It has been my un-
fortunate duty on more than one occasion before to call
the attention of the House to circumstances of nearly a
similar character, but on each occasion these circum-
stances have only tended to exhibit
.in the strongest
possible point of view, the courage, the firmness,
the presence of mind of the Sovereign.—(Hear,
hear) and the enthusiastic loyalty and the attachment
to her Majesty which is felt by all classes of her Ma-
jesty's subjects, and the indignant feeling which they
entertain against the perpetrators of these outrages.—
(Loud cheers.) The circumstances which I have to re-
late to your Lordships are that last evening, on her
return from a visit to her illustrious relative, the Duke
of Cambridge. On her return from Cambridge-house,
en leaving the Court-yard, her Majesty was assaulted
by an individual in a manner which your Lordships
have all, doubtless, before this been informed.—(Hear.)
The person guilty of this octrage was immediatel arrested.
The motives which could have induced him to be
guilty of such a crime have not been yet ascertained.
All that I can state is, that the individual charged with
this offence is an individual who has moved hitherto in
what is termed a respectable sphere of society,
and who has, I am deeply grieved to say, borne her Ma-
jesty's commission as an officer in the army—(Hear,
hear)—and is the son of a gentleman of considerable
fortune. I have said before it is impossible
to guess even at the motive which could
have induced him to perpetuate this odious
dastardly and atrocious attack.— (Hear and cheers.)
The only result has been to elicit the most enthusiastic
; expressions of loyalty to the the Throne, and attachment
to her Majesty's person from every class of the commu-
nity.—(Hear.) I do not feel called upon to ask for
by your Lordships, as found expressive of your opinion,
but I feel that if I did so feel so called on, your Lord-
snips would join in an unanimous expression of feelings
of loyalty and attachment to her Majesty and her family.
--(Loud cheers.)
Lord STANLEY—If the Noble Marquis had felt it
transistent with his duty to move an address to her Ma-
jesty on this subject, I will not say of congratulation,
for it appears that her Majesty was never in danger
from this outrage—(Cries of " Hear, hear")--I am
;sure that your Lordships would at once have given
expression to your devoted feelings of loyalty. An ad-
,dress not of congratulation, as there was no danger, but
en address expressing that indignation which we all of us
feel at the mean—(Cheers)--the dastardly—(Cheers)—
the cowardly—(Cheers)—attack which has been made
upon her Majesty.—(Loud cheers.) The whole country
feels but one sentiment of indignation against the perpe-
tration of an outrage so disgusting—(Cheers)—so de-
grading— (Cheers)—so dastardly—(Loud cheers)—so
brutal —(Renewed cheers)— so uninaaly—(Continued
cheers)—as that of last night. It is to be hoped that
-the perpetrator of that outrage was not at that time in
such a state of mind as to be responsible for his actions.
(Hear, hear.) But that was a conclusion not to be arrived
at lightly, and he hoped that such a conclusion would
not be arrived at without the fullest and amplest inves-
tigation. The attempt had only afforded another
opportunity to her Majesty to exhibit he great personal

of the circumstances attending this dastardly and atro-
cious attempt both the judge and jury will not give way
to the stupid tendency which has on more than
one occasion been exhibited not to hold
persons responsible for their criminal acts.
If the mind of persons was so constituted as to be in-
fluenced by motives, such a person should be held re-
sponsible for his actions, and know that several
high legal authorities bad recently modified their
opinions as to what constituted the responsibility of
of a person for criminal acts which he may have com-
mitted.
CRIMINAL LAWS CONSOLIDATION BILL.
The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then moved the com-
mittal of this Bill, and was

THE RECENT ATTACK ON HER MAJESTY.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in moving that the House at
its rising do adjourn till Monday next, said—Sir, I feel it
necessary to :take this opportunity to allude t,.) an oc-

currence which I cannot mention without expressing my

deep and serious regret that it should have happenel.—
(Hear, hear.) Sir, the House is no doubt aware that
yesterday afternoon her Majeaty the Queen had been to
pay a visit to her uncle, the Duke of Cam-
bridge ; she was returning in her carriage, and

had just left the house of his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge, when a person struck her Ma-
jesty with a stick on the temple, causing her Majesty to
fall back in her carriage. Her Majesty, however, lam
rejoiced to say, soon recovered, and she was enabled to
return directly to Buckingham Palace.—(Cheers.) I
had the honour of seeing her Majesty a short
time afterwards, and it is hardly necessary to inform the
House that her Majesty acted on this occasion with ber
usual fortitude, coverage, and forbearance.—(lmmense
cheering.) Sir, lam Berry to be obliged to add that
the person who made this brutal attack was a
person in the dress of a gentleman, who for-
merly held a commission in the army.—(Hear, hear.)
What may be the legal character of the crime he has
committed it is of course my duty to abstain altogether
from touching upon, but I am assured that the feeling
which was manifested last night of loyalty and attach-
ment towards her Majesty—(Renewed cheers)—was
universal throughout: this country.—(Hear, and cheering.)
Sir, it now only rem.e.ins for me to express a hope which
I confidently enterti til.n, that after this untoward event
our prayers will be the more fervent,for her Majesty's
safety—(Cheers)--sind that her Majesty may enjoy a
long life, and contin tie to act with benefit to the country.
—(Loud cheers.)
Sir DE LACY IWAN'S, on the part of hie consti-
tuents, rose to exp rest; the strong objection which they
had to Hyde Park being appropriated to the intended
Exhibition in 1851; and he would beg to suggest that
Battersea Park would be a much more convenient and a
less objectionable pl ace for the erection of the proposed
building.
Mr. BERRIES said he had no doubt the Noble Lord
(Lord J. Russell) vrould be governed by precedent in
whatever course he look with respect to the lamentable
event which had bef al len her Majesty; but at the same
time he (Mr. Hetrries) could not help rising on
this occasion to a uggest that this was a fitting
opportunity for presenting an Address to her
Majesty with regt .rd to the shameful outrage
which had been com of itted upon her person, and he was
sure that every Member in:the House would cordially
unite in such an expr 3ssion of feeling.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had considered this
subject before coming down to the House, but he re-
membered that on tlee last occasion of this nature it was
thought not advisable (so we understood) to present such
an address to her M ajesty as the Honourable Member
had suggested; and 11. e thought it would be advisable to
follow the same commie on this occasion. If he (Lord
John Russell) had felt disposed to move such an address,
he felt quite sure the t he would have met with the cor-
dial concurrence of t he House.—(Cheers.)
Sir ROBERT IN'i LIS could not refrain from express-
ing the shame which he felt, that a person who had had
the honour of beari ni; her Majesty's commission in the
army should have tit tred to raise his hand against her
person, and that a sc idler should have struck a woman
and a mother in the presence of her children, and that
that woman and tha mother should have been his so-
vereign.
Mr. HUME did nof think there was any necessity for
an address; he was rare there would be but one feeling
from one end of the o ountry to the other on the subject.
With regard to the ex position, no man was more anxious
that it should succeed, than he was. From the first he had
done all he could for i'.:t; but he did not believe that such
a building as was prop osed would be so easily disposed
of as they seemed to think.
Mr. LABOUCHEII E wished that all discussion should
be postponed until Id onday, after the meeting of the
Commissioners, which, would take place to-morrow.
Mr. OSBORNE could not consent to postpone de-
claring the opinion of his constituents until Monday,
With his experience or architecture, he did not believe
that such a budding as that proposed could be cleared
away in six months .—(Hear, hear.) There was
another question to be considered, and that was
the propriety of the erection of that building in the
Park. He understood that the building was to have a
dome as high as the ILt ,nument and twice the height of
St. Paul's.
Mr. GLADSTONE, thought that such a dome could
certainly not be erect( ad before Monday, and it would be
better to postpone the iscussion until then.
Mr. OSBORNE was quite aware of that, but he
wished for an assurance, that no proceedings at all would
be taken until Monday.,
In reply to Lord J. MANNERS,
Lord J. RUSSELL stated that nothing final would
be done in respect to the erection until Monday next,
when the Cummiasiooe re proposed to take the subject
again into their consid e; cation.
The discussion then dropped, and the motion for the
adjournment of the H cruse, at its rising, until Monday
was agreed to.
ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL.
In reply to Mr. HOUSMAN,
Lord J. RUSSELL it itimated that this Bill would be
taken on Thursday ne:et .
AFFAIRS OF GREECE.—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Mr. COCKBURN ref urned the adjourned debate on
the foreign policy of the Government. He hoped, inas-
much as he had been pointedly alluded to last night in
the speech of the Right ; Hon. Member for the Univer-
sity of Oxford (Mr. GI adetone), that the House would
not think him presumptious if be ventured to trespass
on their time for a brief period.—(Hear, hear.)
He was anxous in the first place to set himself right with
his Right Hon. Friend, who was plleased to observe in
the course of his speech that he (Mr. Cockburn) had
sneered at him. Now„ nothing on earth was further
from his wish than to show the slightest disrespeck,what-
sover for that Right ilun. Gentleman; yet last night
he somewhat violently throw down the gauntlet on the
floor of the House, anal challenged him (Mr. Cockburn)
to reply to the facts w Well he stated, and above all the
principles which he e inniciatetl.—(Hear.) Now, he Naas
as strongly convir.ce d art ho was of anything in his, life,
that his facts were totally incorrect, and his law untena-
ble—(Cheers)—and he ventured to accept the chal-
lenge which the Rig ht Hon. Gentleman had thrown out.
—(Cheers.) After acknowledging the superior abilities
and attainments Al r. Gladstone, the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman went on to say that in all his
experience he never heard such a series of misrepre-
sentations—(Lend c heers)—and he would undertake
to prove that, step by step; but he felt he was under
a difficulty in enter-it:lN into this debate, because
beloning to the legal pito! ession, he might be accused of
treating the question in a . Nisi Prius fashion. However,
he could give abundant evidence that the practice of so
dealing with any imp)] taut subject was not confined
to Westminster Hall.— ( Loud cheers.) Of all the petti-
fogging proceedings he had ever known this was the
worst.—( Loud cheers.) It was so commenced elsewhere,
and was again exempt Heed in that House.—(Cheers.)
He must say he never b At ird an obs-irvation which seemed
to him to be more injudii :ions or in worse taste than that
made by the Right lle .n. Gentleman the Member for
Ripon with regard to the legal profession.—(Hear, hear.)
Because it followed ti e admirable speech of his
Honourable and Learned. Friend, whose masterly analysis
of the law and lunainot a exposition of facts had cer-
