bale which stands for this ntpht. ON the motion
of my hon. aud learned friend fMr. Broueh
am The circumstances which have occurred
render II quite impossible that such a motion
could be discussed 10 night with any advantage
to the countrV-( hear, hearA know of no
instance within my recollection in which n mo-
ton OF so much Importance was brought Tor
ward under such circumstances, aud hope NV
+ hon. aud learned friend will see the prepririy
OF not urging his proposition this evening

Mr.. BRoUGHAM-The respect which bear for
TINS House is as great, can assure YOU Sir, as
That which has been expressed with so mucAl
grace by the right hon Secretary, but do stIl
icel the greatest repugnsnce to putting off the
mo'ien, however disposed in other respects 10
adopt any suggestion coming from NV noble
friend quite agree with my noble lriend when
he SAYS that nc question of such importance as
taiS has ever been brought forward at time

from the intense feeling that pervhdes every
part OF he country, end from the consideration
that no quest un involving such vast, such
mighty interests as this has ever vet been
discussed within these walls-tch feel
the task have 10 perform Is a painful and dit
hc"ii one. Called upon ms am by my noble
TREND. am anxious at all tunes to do nothing
whatever which could bear the remoicsi ap-
pearance of not duly defeTring 10 the declared
sense the House, either as Ia the manner or
time of bringing forward this or any other mo-
ton may have 10 submit. however, throw
myself frankly, iaIly, and canddly, on the
consideration OF the House md, if IL he the
desire of Honorable Members that | should
postpone the motion, beg il to be understood
that yield rather to then wishes than my own
deter "a her TO their Judgment than to
my own inclination. As any change of ad-
mnstIatlon that may take place cannot affect
me, am ANXIOUS to take this opportunity of
stating that, tl now put off the notion i,
will only be to the 18th of this mouth, aud no
longer lor shall posi- lively bring il forward
then. whoever may be mnister-(IIear,

exists in the country. In n certain sense that
is practically true, but it ought 10 be known
