...tiered necessary by the course or nature r.nd the.
hand of God. A clause, therefore, which was'
loosely worded, which settled no remedy,
-aact,• therefore, gave no right; - was insufft-
.cient to controul a lawful authority Which was re-
cognized in another. part of the same Act; and if
-such were the case generally, it was peculiarly
inefficient to control it in the present case Of the
Queen, after all the circumstances of a legal CO6-
yictico—after all the circumstances short or at-
degradatiOn—(Hear!)—which had trans-'
pired against
.her. Upon the principle, there-
fare, of law, he did not think that ber Majesty
1.-.;".ti-zny right to have.her name inserted in the
Lturi.,-;y, though he could not help at the same
time ohserVing that it would not he wise for
ikuse to decide upon the construction of
a de..bions- legal - authority. On a former occa.-'

tin,' he had stated that-her Majesty, as her inno-
Tecae appeared tornany to have been satisfactorily
estat Iktied, might with safety and propriety have
• c.-:.ceded the point of the Liturgy. Ile was then
-bl.:Tned for having argued that her Majesty was
ri„:“, and therefore ought to concede ; and the ar-
g:,lq-At was even treated as IriglAly ridiculous and
..p.,)urd. Now, he saw nothing absurd in it ; can

contrary, it Mill appeared to him that the
:cf.).:l-e.ssion of . the Liturgy would have been the
most prudent and patriotic measure that her Ma-
- kegy could have adopted. Her Majesty was re-
..presented as a person of most exalted character ;
had been described by one of her legal advi-
.ters as of a sagacity inferior to none that he had
`ever known, and of a propriety of mind, notwith-
stallding all that had been imputed to her dis-
credit, rarely excelled. In his opinion, that
sagacity
,of mind for which she was distill-
viished ought to have rendered her anxious.
• to. allay the present animosities existing in
'the country; and that propriety of mind, for
'which she was .so much eulogised, should have
_-taught her that the hest method of doing so was
the giving up the long-contested point of the
"Litilrgy. • The Hon. Member, after stating that
it appeared to him that the Crown, the Queen,
'.-and the House, ought each.to concede something
..40 the other, concluded by saying that he should
give his vote in- favour-of the original motion in
deference -to the opinion of a large majority of the
people ; which, although it ought not to be ser-
vilely'acquiesced in on all occasions, still should
'altrays.treet with some attention from a wise and
prudent Government.
Mr. BRIGHT rose amidst continued cries of-.
"14 Question," and contended that, both on the
'peint of law and of expediency, the Queen's name
-ouTht to. be restored to the Liturgy.
he cries of " Question" then became loud
and incessant, in the midst of which Sir J. Man-
JORIDA?i/E3 and Mr..A Merman BRIDGES both rose,
and shortly declared themselves to be opposed to
the proposition of -the Hon.,Mover; The gallery
'was then cleared, and the House divided—

Itlajoritrgainst the Motion
GRANIPOUND DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL.
On our re-admission to the Gallery we found
/And J. RussELL moving, " that the House do
resolve itself into a Committee of the whole
House on the above Bill:"

In the Committee, Mr. It. MARTIN suggested,
that it should be made mandatory in the return-
ing officer to administer the Bribery Oath. It
was often unpleasant to Gentlemen, who were
Candidates, to insist on the administration of that
Lath ; but this difficulty would be completely
removed, if the returning officer were obliged to
introduce it.

After a few words from Lord J. Russell, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. D.

IMr. MARTIN said, he would not impede the
progress of the Bill, by pressing his suggestion.
11r. MAXWELL stated, that if it ‘veWintended
in future to adopt the principle on which this
Itill'proceeded, he would, when an opportunity
4ccurred, put in a claim for the city of Glasgow.
It was a matter worthy of consideration, whether
a great city, like Glasgow, containing 150,000
itahabitants, should only have an interest in the
representation in that House once in 27 years.
Some verbal athendments having been made,
the House resumed, the Report was received, and
ordered to be taken into further consideration on
Friday selnuight, and the Bill, as amended, was
ordered to be printed.
