The House of Lords rc-assembled on the 3Olh
OF April, but no discussion arose upon any sub
jcct. The Earl OF narrowly and Lord BexIey
were the only Cabinet Ministers present. Pc
titions were presented from Societies of Free
inasons In Ireland, praying 70 be exempted
from the operation of an act lately passed for the
suppression OF secret societies. In both Houses
hearty condcmnations of orange societies and
ribbon societies have been pronounced by all
parties. This is a tone Ct feeling towards Ire

hirs. Fry, who, like an angel of mercy, is al.
ways doing good, has founded am institution call
ed the Guardian Society, for the reception of
reduced females. AT the anniversary which
was celebrated on the 28tt, the Reverend ROW
land Hill sent five pound note, with letter
stating that he thought sucha note better than
speech; and remarked, that speeches on those
OCCASIONS were apt TO be too long. Mr.. She
riff Laurie took the hint, and in making his
!, speech uttered the following language, which
we recommend to speech makers on this side
y the Atlantic. Mr.. Laurie said there was one
: thing in which he had no doubt the meeting
would agree with the Divine whose letter they
had heard, y HIMSELF namely, that the speech
es made on these occasions were in general u
great deal TOO long, and, however interesting
they might be to the speakers, that they seldom
failed to tire the hearers. He therefore be-
sought the speakers who might address the
meeting TO condense their speeches, and to re.
s member that breyi.y was the soul of wit. The
late Lord Elcnborough on one occasion, in the
5 House at Lords, when another Noble Lord had
; just male dreadfiilly long speech, got up and
h SAID, My Lords my Lords! l am answera-
bic to God Tor my time and said no more: The
spc.'lcr on these occasionss should remember
that they were equally responsible Gorthe tiine.of
their hearers.

would take place BY tic return of persons from
abroad, and by those whose means and comforts
would be thus improved, it is tboueiit would
nearly or quite make up the difference.
