THE QUEEN.
Sir J. N EWPOKT wished to ask whether, in the event
of the Bill concerning her Majesty, the Queen, coming
down to this House, it was intended that there should
be a regular call of the House, or whether any mode
would be adopted for assembling all the Members,
similar to that (by letters from the Lord Chancellor)
adopted in the House of Lords.

tending to Ireland, as he wished a; much as possible
to assimilate the practice in the two countries ; but he
was afraid that the Irish merchants were not yet ho-'
nest enough for them." It was to he feared, that that
oliection to the administration of those laws was not

Ireland, it occurred to him that the state of distress
under which that country now trembled, was to a very
ymaillerable extent owing to the Aet by which stock
!dB allowed to be transferred from England to Ire-
land. Since the passing of the Art no less than six
millions of stock was transferred to Ireland ; hut the
law was nut reciprocal, it did not allow the transfer of
the stock bask again to England, and the result was,
that a large portion of Irish capital was absorbed, and'
locked up from the circulation.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
SESSIONAL ADDRESSES.—The usual Sessional
Addresses to his Majesty, for conferring a dignity in
the church on the Chaplain to the House, and for
making compensations to the didereitalerks-and offi-
cers of the House, were then moved and agreed to.

The CHANCILLOR of the EXCHINU,ER 111111undrratoed
to answer, that it was scarcely necessary for him to in-
form any Member acquainted with the forma of this
House, that the latter mode, to which the Klett lion.
Baronet alluded, was not consistent with the practice
of this House. He was not aware that it was intended
to move a Call of the House, and, indeed, he ',teemed
such a motion to be unnecessary, as no doubt could
be entertained that, upon such an impors.lnt subject,
every Member would feel it his unavoidable duty to
attend.---(Hear, hear !)
Sir J. Nawroar observed, that he had only asked
the question for the purpose of removing a misunder-
standing to which he himself was not a party, but
which prevailed among many Members of the House.
He exp d his conviction that there would be a full

BRUCE—Lord Joan Russet'. begged to call the
attention of the Hon. Member opposite to the case of
Bruce, who was convicted with Minnie for shouting
at Birch, the Stockport constable. Monis suffered
death, but Bruce, whom, shortly before he suffered, he
declared to be innocent, was now on his way to be
transported. If Bruce was innocent, surely this feu-
