PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 3.
In the SCAR of yesterday we gave an account of the
opening of Parliament by Commission, and a copy of
his MAJEstit's gracious Speech, which was read by the
LORD CHANCELLOR.
After the Commons had withdrawn from before the
Bar, the Bishop of CHESTER (Dr. Blnowfield) took the
oaths and his sea:; and also Lord Viscount
FORD, as Baron Penshmst, of Penshurst, in the counts
of Kent, on which occasion the Eat Nlarshal olli.-i.ited.
An adjournment now took place during pleasure, and
at five minutes after five o'clock, the Lotto Cu Ncet.t.on
resumed his seat, w hen his Lordship read did Lords
Commissioners' Speech, which he then handed to thy
Reading Clot IcINIr. Rose). by whom it was also read.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL now moved the his,
reading of the Select Vestries RegUlation Bill, which
was immediately read a first time.

THE ADDRESS.
Lord bUDLEY and WARD then rose to Move (he
said) their Lordships to agreep a humble Addiess, in
answer to the Speech which had just:lst:en lead. There
were many circumstances which might be urged as an
apology for his rising to address their Lordships. The
task was now comparatively easy. Those who had on
former occasions stood in the situation in which he then
stood, had to ask their Lordships, during the long and
protracted war we were then engaged in, to suspend
their judgment till the contest should be terminated.
At a liter period, after many sacrifices, and when suc-
cess had crowned our exertions, those of.their Lordships
who rose then to move an Address, had the equally
difficult and mote irksome duty to attempt an 'altera-
tion of those commotions and those commercial embar-
rassments which had so long obstructed the course of
our prosperity, and prevented us from enjoying the
blessings of peace. The pressure which was then se-
verely felt had now ceased. • His task and their Lord-
ships' were now easy ; he bad no sacrifices to ask. After
a period of 80 years' struggles and sufferings, this
country had reached a pitch of prosperity never before
equalled in this country, and perhaps never equalled in
the world. Peace had smiled on us, and brought with
it its advantages;• after a long period of excessive exer-
tion and distress. His Majesty had fully appreciated
their prosperity, and had congratulated their Lordships
on it in the first part of the Speech now before their
Lordships. It was a prosperity growing out of an
arduous struggle, and there was in it both honour
and repose. It was a struggle against the power of
all Europe, impelled by the genius of a warrior and a
statesman. We had not then deviated from our policy,
and peace bad not been forced on us; we had removed
the oppression, and were now secure of oar own power.
The prosperity of which he had spoken was not partial':
it estended mall parts of the coats,' y, and was•the na-
rural fruit•oLour prodigious industry, and our great
,Mechanical skill, which had obtained for us a mastery
over nature, lir imitating her power—( Hear, hear
front the. Opposition benches). There were fresh re-
sources too now opening for us. That world which
had been first discovered by the genius of Colombia,
had been, for useful purposes, rediscovered in our times;
and by the mutual intercourse which was now taking
place, we found it much richer in the valuable commo-
dities which might be obtained by industry, than even
in those which had tempted the avarice of its first in-
vaders. The reciprocal intercourse between the two
countries was a source. of wealth and of renewed pros-
perity to both. This prosperity had brought its natural
consequence, contentment; and never before were the
people of England more thoroughly satisfied and con-
tented, than at present. There never was a time, also,when
industry was more active; never was there a time when
the.spirit of useful improvement was more active; and
this activity, this contentment, were not the fruits of
blind obedience to despotic laws, but the rational dic-
tates of active and intelligent beings-Near, hear!
frees the Opposition). His Lordship said, he need not
bring forward any proof of the prosperity—the docu-
ments to prove it were in everybody's hands, and were
foUnd in our diminished taxation, and in our increased
revenue. We had not obtained this prosperity by any
improper means; there had been no violation of
credit ; no national bankruptcy; no rejection of our
debt—we had stood up under a greater burden than
any former statesman could have imagined possible,
and we acknowledge a debt, and regularly pay the in-
terest, greater than had ever been borne by any coun-
try. It was to his Lordship a great satisfaction to re-
collect that this prosperity had rapidly increased under
regulations dictated by a sounder system of political
economy, than ever before dictated oar commercial
laws. He fully concurred in the latter part of the Speech,
which alltided to the benefit of removing restrictions,
and recommended carrying the same principles further
into effect. Those principles had long been recom-
mended—(Hear, hear), but their effects were doubtful to
some minds ; but we had now been so fortunate as to
see the good anticipated from acting on them immedi-
ately realised. He would refer to one instance, which
originated, he believed; in that House, under the au-
spices of a Noble Earl opposite—he alluded to the laws
for the removal of the restrictions on the silk trade.—
Their Lordships must recollect well how numerous and
weighty were the complaints which were made when
that law was brought ,forward; but so. far from the
trade having decayed, as had been anticipated, it had
flourished since that period more rapidly than before,
and had since extended almost as fast as the manufac-
ture of cotton.' We nh longer dreaded the rivalry of the
foreigner in our market, and were able to contend with
him in the markets of the Continent. ‘Ve were now
fully taught, that the great commercial prosperity had
not arisen from our commercial restrictions, but in spite
of them—(Hear). Ireland, though, perhaps, in a less de,
gree, had shared in the general prosperity; it had in-
creased in wealth and inindustry, and its rental had aug-
mented. There was in that country a greater respect for
the laws than before, and a greater degree of order. The
inhabitants seemed, as they grew more prosperous, to
increase in civilization. It was,too much the custom to
speak of Ireland as an ill-used country; and it was true,
that formerly England had -governed Ireland as .one
barbarous country governs Attother. It was equally
met that at a somewhat later period; the two great re
