'FION.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL again rose and said,
that, in rising to propose an humble Address to
his Majesty of Condolence on the great loss which
he and the Nation at large has experienced in the
demise of our late gracious Sovereign, and con-
gratol3tion on his present M4jesty's Ascension to
the Throne of these .realrns, he certainly felt it
would be most unnecessarily taking up the time
of their Lordships, and indeed counteracting their
feelings, it lie were to enter into any details as to

the various topics which may be held by some
connected with the subject. It was, his anxious
wish to propose an Address in such a say, as
without the sacrifice of the public-or private feel-
ings of any one of their Lordships; it may be ren-
dered generally acceptable. c. He was sure there
could not exist the least necessity, nor could there
be the least disposition in any Noble Lord to
enter into any enlarged statemedt"of the numer•
ous-and manifold public and private virtues, which
so evidently adorned and accompanied-the rever-
ed Monarch, whose feelings and character a reign
of not less than GO years had rendered well known
to every c 1455 of his subjects in this country.—
A Sovereign whose exemplary and virtuous con-
duct affOrded the brightest pattern and example
to all those who contemplated his character and
that conduct, and.. which, in its diffused operation
Lnd effect, proved a blessing to the people of this
country. As little did he feel it necessary to en•
ter into detailed discussion of the various excel-
lencies and virtues which deservedly merited, and
had insured the attachment and loyalty of the
great body of his subjects in tha cause of their
present gracious Sovereign. They all felt the be-
nefit which accrued to the.. country from the ad-
ministration of the Kingly Government-by the
Illustrious Person who was now elevated totthe
Throne of these realms. lie was confident th'ev
were all actuated by the sanfe.feelingi of zeal
attachment towards the sacred person of-their Bo-
vereign—a Sovereign who, by his conduct, had
abundantly proved his only views were for the
velfare or his subjects. He deemed it unneces-
sary to trespass long.t.r upon their Lordships ; but
would immedia'ely move the proposed Address.
The Noble Minister then presented the Ad-
dress, which was read from the Woolsack as fol-2

O%V S :--

" That an humble,Address be presented to his Majesty, to
convey to his Majesty the expression of the deep affliction in
which we have been involved by the death of the late King;
a Monarch whose virtues had sn long afforded the brightest
example,'and who had so lung Yelped in the hearts of his
faithful People.
" To assure his Majesty we shall never cease to cherish in
our. memories the recollection of the u;any blessings .which we
have enjoyed under the mild and paternal Government of his
Royal Father; during whose long and eventful reign the
country has made sn great advances in arts and industry, in
commercirl opulence-and national power, and has derived so
large an accession of glory from the splendid achievewents of
his Majesty's Fleets and Armies.

". To add to these expres4ions of regret.and condolence ow

THE LATE DUKE OF KENT.
The Earl of DARNLEY, after briefly expressing
his deep sense of the melancholy: event. which •
formed the leading part of the Address, in the
whole of which his Lordship seemed to concur,
took the opportunity to express some degree of
surprise at no notice being taken in the documents ,
then before the 1.1.0:5e of the lamented dentiie of
another illostt ions Member of his Majesty's Royal
Fawily. On what ltd been proposed by the
Noble Eat l relative to another part cf the subject
of the Royal Message, he should say nothing at
the present moment. .
The Earl of hiverteoot, expressed his satisfac-
tion, that the Noble Earl opposite bad afforded
hint the opportunity of explaining that it was his
intention, to•morrow, to move an Address of Con.
doleoce on that melancholy occasion, as well as an
Add;ods of the same nature to the alllicte,-1
or that illth:rious.and lamented Prince brit it• Was
contrary to the uniform custom c n such occasions
as that which rendered the Address now before
their I.,,rdships necessary, to blend any other
topic wi h it. Such Addresses were always kept •
separate front the subject matte' of any others.
The question on the Address to his Majesty was
then put, and the Address was voted next, dis. ;
and it was subsequently ordered, on account of.
the present state of his Nlsjesty's health, that the
Address he presented by the Lords with white
staves, i,istead of being presented by the whole
[louse, as otherwise is customary on such OCCA-
SiOnS..;--Adiourned til' to-morrow.
