" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

finprrial Vartiament.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-THIIRSDAY.

Her Majesty opened the session in person.
The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Earl
of Jersey (Master of the Horse), entered the state car-
riage at Buckingham Palace, about half-past one o'clock,
and proceeded through St. James's Park, with the usual
escort, to the House of Lords. Her Majesty and her il-
lustrious Consort were loudly cheered by the thousands
who had assembled on the line of road to witness the gor-
geous spectacle. The liveries and carriages of the Foreign
Ambassadors and Ministers, and those of the principal
nobility, were exceedingly splendid.
The Royal cortege baying arrived at the House of
Lords, the band of the Life Guards played the national
anthem, and a discharge of cannon announced the Queen's
entrance into the house.

In a few minutes afterwards her Majesty, having taken
her seat on the Throne, read the following most gracious
Speech :

" It gives me great satisfaction again to meet you in
Parliament, and to have the opportunity of recurring to
your assistance and advice.
" I continue to receive from my allies, and from other
Foreign Powers, the strongest assurances of their desire
to cultivate the most friendly relations with this country.
" I rejoice that, in concert with the Emperor of Russia,
and through the success of our joint mediation, I have
been enabled to adjust the differences which had long pre-
vailed between the Ottoman Porte and the King of Per-
sia, and had seriously endangered the tranquility of the
East.

" For several years a desolating and sanguinary war-
fare has afflicted the states of the Rio de la Plata. The
commerce of all nations has been interrupted, and acts of
barbarity have been committed unknown to the practise
of a civilized people. In conjunction with the King of
the French, I am endeavouring to effect the pacification
of those states.
" Tne convention concluded with France in the course
of the last year for the more effectual suppression of the
slave trade, is about to be carried into immediate execu-
tion by the active co-operation of the two powers on the
coest of Africa.

" It is my desire that our present union, and the good
understanding which so happily exists between us, may
always be employed to promote the interests of humanity,
and to secure the peace of the world.
" I regret that the conflicting claims of Great Britain
and the United States, in respect of the territory, on the
north-western coast of America, although they have been
made the subject of repeated negotiation, still remain
unsettled.

" You may be assured that no effort, consistent with
national honour, shall be wanting on my part to bring this
question to an early and peaceful termination.
" Gentlemen of the Rouse of Commons,
" The estimates for the year will be laid before you at
an early period. Although I am deeply sensible of the
importance of enforcing economy in all branches of the
expenditure, yet I have b en compelled by a due regard to
the exigencies of the public service, and to the state of our
naval and military establishments, to propose some in-
crease in the estimates which provide for their efficiency.
" My Lorels and Gentlemen,
- . _

" I have observed with deep regret, the very frequent
instances in which the crime of deliberate assassination
has of late been committed in Ireland.

" It will be your duty to consider whether any mea-
tures can be devised calculated to give increased protec-
sion to life, and to bring to justice the perpetrators of so
dreadful a crime.

" I have to lament, that in consequence of a failure of
the potato crop in several parts of the United Kingdom,
there will be a deficient supply of an article of food which
forms the chief subsistence of great numbers of my peo-
ple. The disease by which the plant has been affected
has prevailed to the greatest extent in Ireland.
" I have adopted all such precautions as it was in my
power to adopt for the purpose of alleviating the sufferings
which may be caused by this calamity ; and I shall con-
fidently rely on your co-operation in devising such other
means for effecting the same benevolent purpose, as may
require the sanction of the legislature.
" I have had great satisfaction in giving my assent to
the measures which you have presented to me from time
to time calculated to extend commerce and to stimulate
domestic skill and industry by the repeal of prohibitory
and the relaxation of productive duties.
" The prosperous state of the revenue, the increased
demand for labour, and the general improvement which
has taken place in the internal condition of the country,
are strong testimonies in favour of the course you have
pursued.
" I recommend you to take into your early consider-
ation whether the principles on which you have acted may
not with advantage be yet more extensively applied, and
whether it may not be in your power after a careful review
of the existing duties upon many articles, the produce or
manufacture of other countries, to make such further re-
ductions and remissions as may tend to ensure the con-
tinuance of the great benefits to which I have adverted,
and by enlarging our commercial intercourse to strengthen
the bonds of amity with Foreign Powers.
" Any measures which you may adopt for effecting
these great objects will, I am convinced, be accompanied
by such precautions as shall prevent permanent loss to
the revenue, or injurious results to any of the great in-
terests of the country.
" I have full reliance on your just and dispassionate
consideration of matters so deeply afEcting the public
welfare.

" It is my earnest prayer that, with the blessing of
Divine Providence on your councils, you may be enabled
to promote friendly feelings between different classes of
my subjects, provide additional security for the continu-
ance of peace, and to maintain contentment and happi-
ness at home, by increasing the comforts and bettering
the condition of the great body of my people."

The business of the session was commenced in the
House of Lords by Lord HOME, who in reply to her
Majesty's speech, recapitulated its several topics, and
recommended for the adoption of their lordships the
opinions it expressed. After briefly noticing the conti-
nued maintenance of peace, the settlement of differences
between Ottoman Porte and Persia, the intervention of
France and England on the River Plate, the co-operation
of the two powers for the suppression of the slave trade,
and expressing a fervent hope that the conflicting claims
of Great Britain and the United States to the Oregon ter-
ritory might still be amicably adjusted upon such a basis
as the Ashburton treaty, he adverted to the failure of the
potato crop, and after mentioning, without discussing, the
last important paragraph of the Royal speech, concluded
by moving the address, which, as usual, was a very faith-
ful echo of the speech.
Lord DE Ros, in seconding the address, went over
nearly the same topics, noticing, with especial commen-
dation the suggestion that more effectual means should be
taken to check the practice of assassination in Ireland.
The question that the address he adopted was then put
by the Lord CHANCELLOR, and declared to be carried in
the affirmative.
The Duke of RICHMOND expressed some displeasure
that the discussion had been so abruptly concluded. He
had, however, heard enough to know that ministers in-
tended to withdraw protection from the industry of the
country, and he challenged them to show any cause for
rescinding the solemn compact made with the agricultural
interest in 1842. He could see no difference between the
Anti-Corn-Law League and the Government, and no rea-
son why they should not create Mr. Cobden a peer. He
denounced the League as the author of all these changes,
and warned their lordships y the example of Ireland, still
unappeased by the concessions of 1829, not to be inti-
midated into a surrender of their opinions. He called
upon the great towns, too, to observe that if protection
was taken away from agriculture, Sir R. Peel was bound
by his promises of 1839 to remove it from every other ar-
ticle ; and asked how, if this complete revolution in our
system were achieved, the public creditor was to be satis-
fied, the farmer to pay his tithe, or a single salary or pay-
ment to remain unaltered ? He solemnly protested
against the clause of the address which referred to protec-
tion, as being directly contrary to every principle and
every speech of the present government, and challenged it
to test the amount of public confidence it enjoyed by an
appeal to the country. He declared that he would resist
by every mean, in his power—factious, if necessary—any
diminution in the amount of agricultural protection ; and
concluded by calling for an explanation of the mysterious
resignations and counter-resignations which had lately
surprised the world.
The Duke of WELLINGTON declined to defend the con-
duct of Sir. R. Peel, or any measure of his government.
The question before their lordships was the address ;
other measures would shortly be submitted to them, but
they had now only the address to discuss, and an acqui-
escence in that bound them only to take into considera-
tion the measures it suggested, upon which the Duke of
Richmond would hereafter have ample opportunity of ex-
pressing his opinions. As to explanations, he reminded
the noble duke that he had been himself a member of the
Privy Council of his sovereign, and must know that,
without her permission, he was bound to keep her coun-
sel secret. He should, at least, therefore, have given no-
tice of his question.
Lord STANLEY, being called upon by the Duke of
Richmond for an explanation of the grounds upon which
he bad retired from the government, declined lo enter in-
to details, upon the plea that he could not explain the mo-
tives of his conduct without stating what were the mea-
sures contemplated by the other members of the Cabinet,
or with justice to his late colleagues, but stated that upon
one question only—one relating to the degree and amount
of agricultural protection—was there any difference of
opinion. Upon that question a measure was proposed
which he considered uncalled for by any change of cir-
cumstances since 1842, and which, therefore, he could riot
undertake to recommend without a sacrifice of his own
consistency and honour. He cast no imputation upon
the conduct of others ; but conceiving it his duty to dis-
sent from a project approved by a majority of big col-
leagues, he had tendered his resignation; and with this
explanation of his motives, and the courae he had adopted,
he trusted that their lordships would be satisfied.
Lord HARDWICKE said, that as he saw in the address
a direct advance towards free trade, he must form an ex-
ception to those who approved it. He thought that un-
less a change of circumstances could be proved, they were
bound to adhere to the adjustment of the corn laws made
only three years since, and he denied that there had been
any such change as to render the measures it was intended
to bring forward necessary. Ile would rather that it
were proposed to put aside protection altogether, than to
make a gradual diminution of it, for many would unite to
Opp -
ose the former measure who might be induced to ac-
quiesce in a series of alterations.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that, having, like
Lord Stanley, obtained her Majesty's permission to ex-
plain the circumstances of some political transactions in
which he had latrly taken a part he should avail himself
of that permission as soon as the members of the govern-
