met occasions of the same unsure, been so completely
asleep. The proceedings on the part of Ministers lig
the Commons, wereetarked with their anal cant 04
'artfulness. Lord CAtTLEREAoIt moved for a itesEit
',:letion, not as Address as was expected, of coudeinge '
to the Quilts.. His. Lordship acknowledged this pro.
seeding to be unprecedented, but thought, that the
occasion jostified its °smelt,. Some Members, bow.
.
!over, couldsot' perceive any justification fir thin
I measure. Mr. CALCRAFT and Mr. M. A. TAYLOR
objected to the Resolution, bat did- not explicitly
assign any reasons for their dissent. 'Tie meta' for
disagreeing in such a motion indeed requited little
ettplanation, and to judge from the voices that joined '
with them when the question was put, their semi,
want, seemed to be shared by many hlembers.• Thin
course of dissenl wes very extensively perssed : ao
regular division took place ; but the Semitic, sp.
penally at a loss fur happy thoughts, at length de.
tided the gee:Oen in this manner—when the cries of
44 aye and no" had been repeated from all parts of
the House, " the eyes, I think," said he (casting a
. . .
glance over the House, ss*d speaking hesitatingly),
" the ayes, I think, have it." This was the manner its
which the Address to the Quesh was carried. The
Coodoleeckof tba-House with Prince Itoroio could
he eapreseed only by • a similar Reserletion—bet the.
mOdevf pasiintit was ea similar.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, we were,glad to bee, was
at his postlast eight, sod by his prise-worthy con..
duct on this occasion in Abe cause of Reform, has
give!, greet ntisfiction. The Friends Of Perlis.
mentary Reform will perceive by the speech of the
Hon: Be remit last night, that there is at length a chance
of their griehaneetbeing heard in the Ws. House, if
not redressed, and from the. Bath sPeihnen, it is Pos-
sible the number of Petitions which may be expected
front the Electors throughout the kingdom will be.
nearly aufficieitt to fill St. Stephen's Clve!. For
'this Hovel mode Of proceedingsWe are indebted to the
int repid asd venerable Major CaßtWelnirt, whose et-
ortions in favour of Parliamentary Reform base been
unremitting for 40 years, and will never cease but with
his life. . Sir Fuescts presented a reultitede, we say
call it, of Petitions front the city of Bath, each signed
by twenty persons. This, he stated, was thetiumber of
persona allowed to assemble under the molt rigor-
ous Acts of Pittiament. And with Petitions of
this nature, end thus subsciibed, it is probable
,Thit Parliament wi:l be frequently addressed dur-
ing the ensuing Session.- The Petitions last Ses.
itioir for Parliamentary Reform, were said to pre-
med from more' than 1,000,000 of persons.-,
Supposing the same number of persons to sign, there•
fore; under the form now commenced of twenty to •
Petition, -opivardt of 20,000 Petitions, may be ea.
petted during the present Session.
Tire Treaty with Spain respecting the Abolition of
the Slave,Trade, to which we have frequently ad.
wetted, was presented to Patliameat last night. The 1
principal erticles are quoted in another column. We
are I firmly of belief that the money the, given to
-Spare is 'cot for the purpose of perchasing her con-
sent to the inhuman traffic in Slaves, bet to enable
her Government to send out more armaments to de-
stroy the independence of South America, and spread
slaVery„ . terror,' and bleed -over the provinces
struggling to be free.
