= From Mr London Drspaa1.
ga good deal Of par,lon.ble irritation
has been felt here that the sympa,l,ies Of
republican people should have been so
unaccountab!y manifested during the pre-
sent war in behalf Of the great mainstav
and sheet anchor Of European dcspoti>m. |
And il the people Of the United States
permit their rulers to plunge them into a |
war with Great Britain, they will receive
the most terrible lesson ever administered
to national envy and quarrclsomcness."
Lord Lyndhurst, in the House Of Lords,
moved that copy Of the patent purport
ing TO create the Right Hon. Sir James
larke Baron Of the United Kingdom
for life, be referred to committee OF pri
viegcs, with directions 10 examine and |
con'i'ler the same and report to the |
iloasc. SO far from his having any per-
sonal Objection to Sir James Parke, he
had, thirty years ago, recommended him
as suitable person to be raised to the |
peeragc; but his objection to the creation
was founded on the fact, that no instance
had occurred for 400 years iL which a
commander has been raised TO seat in
that House by patent Of peerage for life.
No doubt such peeragos were created he-
fore the House was formed into irs present
shape; bat to make them precedents for
the creation Of the pccraga to which he
now called attention, would be gross vi.

the appointment. and adLuccd certain
facts in support of his opinion.

that the, creation. Was illegal.
The Lord Chancellor declared distinct
ly that the creation Of this pecrage was n
legal act, which entitled Lord Wenleys-
dale to n writ Of summons to sit IN their
Lordship's House.
Lord Campbellc disapproved Of the ere.
alton, and hoped the inquiry Of a Com.
mittee would provo that the act was ille-
gal.
Earl Grey explained that no radical
change in the Constitution of the House
was contemplated, bat merely to establish
a precedent for occasionally giving admi.-
sion to the Upper House. :.
The Earl Of Derby supported the mo.
ton for a committee. lie said it had
been lid down, from the earliest periods
that the essence OF the peerage was, that
it shouil I've hereditary. With the fall of
the hereditary peeragc would be sacrificed
the hereditary monarch.

Duke Of Argyle against the inquiry; alter
