ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE.
rd C‘sTLgREAGEI rose and stated, that

1/30Vi"?... 4,1 A•ldrest of Condolence and Congratu-
lation to his Nlaiesiy, no:hing should occur either
in his fA9pesilion, or in the manner in which
be ntight support it, -calculated to prevent the
Whole House from expressing in their fill
was; the sentiments which lie was persuad-
ed ,they all felt on this occasion. Whatever
eircitmstauces might have occurred during the
previous reign, when his late Majesty acted
for .iinselt, or ihe apir3 of ti,e State were con-
tkcted by the Regew, there hid existed hot one
Conviction fits ill sides of .the [louse, Ow, under

the paternal sway of the flonse of Brunswick, the
enninry had enjoyed ir +t-rater portion of Cl%il and
religious It heti y that, under any sovereign that
had anteriorly occupied the prone of these realms,
It WAS natural, tkeveroce, that the ,f4onse chouttl
feel anxious to express The affliction which it ex-
perienced at the loss of a 1110oarch to whom so
many blessings" were we-emineutly doe. There
-email be no stronger evidence of the public sen-
timent nu that sobjert, than the affereinnate
anxiety displayed by all classes, both when his
late )elajesty's illness first commeticed, and when
it lately terminated his mortal career. Had the
Pt ovidence of Heaven permitted one ray of light
b-eak upon his midi I standing, the last tito-
t+,enta of his departin4 Nt-tjesty nookd base been
toothed by lie 1; inveledge of the sincere and lively
attachment still borne by his people to his person.
Aftcv such affecting testimonials of their love,
was it necessary to ask any man whether his late
Majesty had possessed the hearts and the confi-
dence of the nation ? Both had ever been his
and they had considered nothiog more unfortu-
nate in the whole course of his reign than its
termination. It was during that reign, the
longest and the most arduous in our annals, that
the country bad grown op to a degree of splendor
and importance unparatieled in the history of the
4world. It was also under his late Nlajesty's
sceptre tit it she hail enjoyed a more than common
portion of happiness. It was, therefore, with
confii!ence that he called upon the House to ex-
press (licit afflction and condolence for the loss
of so
,revered and so beneficent a Motiaich. In
pt oposing to blend an 'cher topic with an Address
of Condolence, lie intist say that the country
would augur tut eb of the happiness of the
of his present Gracious ft,..jesty, from
the course which lc had taken during the
last. Whatever might have occurred be•
fore, lie was confident that the whole opinion
of the country won!d go along with the oeclara-
tion, that his Maiesty bad shade the example of
his Fattier the rule of his Government. XVith
respect to the future, let the lions,- feel confident
that his Majesty wool(' proceed in the saute bene-
ficent spirit so plc-el.:title:illy ,iisplayed 1)"7 his
Itnyal Parent, and belonging, e; it were, to his
Mince, amid that his reign would be long and
hapve. • His present Majesty might have :he gra-
tilie3tloll 43 throw additional lustre on the history
of his reign for it no laurels of glory temAtned to
be acc)'ored, eoold now continue to improve
time blessings ut policeTe jttstiete, moderation, and
peace —(flral-, hear •r !)—The Noble Lord
concluded by moving an Address, similar mu) that
proposed in the House of Peers.
Arldress having ben read from the Chair,
Mr. TIERNEY said, that he did not rise, either
directly of indirectly, to object to any thing which
had fallen from tile Noble Lord, or to mix any
other topic with the subject before the [louse.
He felt the deepest eentra,tion for the virtues of
our departed Sovereign, and sincere affliction at
his I ,ss, and lie wonid be the last man to with
to introduce any thing political in en Address
like that now proposed. No man felt stronger
attachment than be did to his present Majesty,
. and none could more eat nestly tope that his
reign would prove long and happy. There
was one expression, however, in the proposed
Address, which he thought the Noble Lord bad
beater left alone, It was the reference to " the
experience of the past," as if any one wanted to
create any political difference, it might be found-
ed Oft that expression. He wished the past to be
left out altogether. He looked solely to the new
reign, and he hoped that his Majesty would in the
course of it do honour to himself, and that his
Ministers would do honour to him.

Tbe Adcliess was then put and voted nernine
contradicenle

it was then ordered, on the motion of Lord
CASTI EZIEAGEI, that ill concitterati,lll of his Ma-
