HOUSE OF COMMONS.
On Friday the 26th, ,rd Archibald Ham
ilton. rose and addressed the house on the
consideration of the motion which was liked
for this evening. respecting the erasure OF
the Queen. name from the Liturgy. Aftel
long speech, he called upon the house
calmly and deliberately to consider the mo-
ton which he was about to submit TO them.
and to take some measures to tranqulize the
ferment which the proceedings against the
Queen bad created, and which If not put a
stop to, he believed would end in general
discord. The hon. member then concluded
by moving
"That the Order in Council passed the
18th of February, under which the name OF
her Majesty Caroline, Queen Consort OF
these realms, was erased IRON the Liturgy,
appears TO have been i'll advised and mex
pedient"
Mr.. Ellis next addressed the House, and
was followed by Mr.. Robinson. who conclu-
ded his speech by moving an amendment to
the noble lord motion; which was that the
house should then adjourn.
The Speaker then read the original mo-,
ton l. amendment, when an interesting de-
bate took place. Among the principal
speakers was lord Oastlereagh,. who in the
course Of his remarks said, eli the King in
the exercise of his royal prerogstive, should
be forced to insert the name of her Majesty
in the Liturgy-( Loud cries OF hear)-that
would be found to be only the first step to
greater encroa chments: for he only should
wish to know on what principle, after such
an advantage was gained for the Queen, she
could be eYcluied from the Coronation,
(hear, hear) y all those privileges of grace
and favor which, in happier times, it would
have been the pride OF the King to have al
forded her. Cheers from the Opposition,
re.ecboed by the Ministerial Benches.),
Mr.. Brougham followed in a short speech
10 favor of The Queen. and concluded by
calling on the house to restore the Queen to
all her rights, as they valued justice and the
safety of The country;ior il she was not treat
ed how as if she had never been tried. there
was no Justice, no security III the land. The
question the Queen could never give up,
aud the people could never give it up.
