GLOBE.—In the House of Lords, last night,
.Lord
Kinnaird forced upon the attention of a reluctant audi-
tory the subject Lf National Distress. The refusal of
their Lordships to consent to the appointment of a Com-
mittee, for the purpose of investigating the causes which
have conspired to produce this calamitous state of
things, was to-be expected. The inquiry would, neces-
sarily, be long and laborious, without having in object
sufficiently interesting to repay the sacrifice of time
which must be taken from aristocratic pursuits ; and
the application to which would be at once fatiguing and
futile. If the cause of faction could have been served,
or the prospect of obtaining a paltry party gratification
been held out—as in the Committee appointed by their
Lordships to inquire into- the administration of the
Irish Government by Lord Normanby—there would
have been sufficient motive to stimulate exertion, and
sufficient advantage to reward it. But co inquire into
the ,distress of the country—to investigate its origin,
unit a view to applying relief adequate to its ex-
tent and severity, and with the ultimate design
of providing, a suitable remedy—who would be so
unreasonable as to expect anything of the kind? The
idea was preposterous, as the Duke- •of Welling-
ton pretty-plainly intimated. If-Parliamentary decorum,
maintained ia their
„Lordship's House_ to 'the verge of
frigid
.etiquette, would have tolerated th.e use of terms
so vulgar, the motion,' if not its originator, would have
been voted a grievous bore ! With whatever inattention
the facts' brought before the House of Lords by Lord
•Kinnaird might be treated in that assembly, those facts,
with the statements by which the terrible distress of 'the.
_country was illustrated and proved, will make their due
impression out of doors. 'Though the sufferers, .spread
over,the face of the country, but congregated in masses
in the mandfaCturing districts, fail to' Obtain 'the eat
-of the Lords—though, under the Leadership of. a Wel-
lington, and countenanced by a Richmond,_the Member of
the Peerage who brings the lamentable tale of public
suffering before their Lordships fails to obtain an atten-:
tive hearing, and is compelled to withdraw his motion in
sheer despair of taking anything by -pressing it to a divi-
sion—the effect upon the country is not lost. When we
• find this determined disposition shown to refuse inquiry,
and so much soreness displayed lest the exchisive in-
terests of the landoa ners should be brought fn question
by the inquiry asked fur, or even alluded to, however
•incidentally, in the course of a speech in which the dis-
tresses of the manufacturing population are exhibited,.
we cannot help suspecting that there is secret 'mis-
! giving as to the possibility of much longer preserving,
for the doubtful advantage -of a class, a policy which
; works certain and incalculable mischiefs to the • com-
munity.
STANDARD.—The House of CoMmOns did not sit
last night, and for anything useful that passed in the
higher House of Parliament, that noble assembly might
as well have given itself ,a similar relaxation. Lord
Kinnaird moved for a Committee to inquire. into the
causes of the. present distress, with the expectation of
u ithdrawing his motion, which expectation was of course
realised ; but also with the purpose of making a long
speech, which his Lordship had the power to execute.
He made his speech, in which he condemned the Queen's
letter—condemned the relief given by the Government to
the sufferers at Paisley—condenined the Corn-laws—con-
demned the patience of.the people—in short, condemned
everything of which wise and good men approve. He
was answered. at some length by the Duke of Wellington,
who defended all that the Noble Lori denounced. Lord
Radnor consistently supported his friend Lord Kinnaird's
motion. A short debate followed, in which the Duke
of Richmond, Lord Western, Lord Clanricarde, Lord
Monteagle, Lord Brougham, and Lord Fitzgerald
took part ; but Lord Kinnaird and Lord Radnor
found themselves unsupported by any one, and the
motion having served its purpose, was, as we have
said, withdrawn. Some speeches deserve attention from
their eloquence, or from the ingenuity, the force, or novelty
of their arguments. -Lord Kinnairu's speech challenges
notice by the opposite qualities in all respects—it was
not eloquent, as all who know his Lordship will easily
believe, and its arguments were a hash of the thousand-
times refuted common-places of the Anti-Corn-law
League, put so unhappily together as to expose
altogether ludicrously their weakness and inconse-
quence. The Noble Lord's quarrel with the Queen's
letter is curious. It is not addressed to the teachers of
dissenting, congregations. We. know not how these
teachers will receive the complaint that they are not
placed under the authority of the executive ; but such a
complaint is strongly at variance with their professed ab-
horrence of a connexion with the State. What has the
Queen to do with the teachers of dissenting congrega-
tions as such ? As Qitcsn, she owes protection to all
tier subjeets, • whatever their religious professions; but
she can exercise specific authority only over those 'over
whom "the laws have given her authority.
