lords before proceed to the public business OF the
evening think 1t my duty to call your ordships' at
tenti0n to subject which must have been PAINFULLY
present to all your minds during the last two or
three days; mean the atrOciOus attempt on the life
OF his Royal Hghness the Duke OF Edinburg.
Cheers:l | am sure your lordships heard of
that attempt with indignation and sorrow, and
| think you will be anxious IN a public form
| TO show what anxiety and horror that attempt
mas aroused The crime which merciful Provi-
dence has prevented from attaining the consumma-
ton which was intended IL one of no common
description, because its inherent airocity is aggra
waited by the fact that had IL been so Consummated
IL would have been perfectly frutess to the assassin
In Its results No political consequences could have
ensued from it, Ii would have changed no dynasty
| IL could have removed no obnoxious minister. IL
could have altered even no unpopular law; and the
innocent victim who was condemned to dea h by
this criminal had. so far rs we know, given
or offence to his assailLnt. (Iiear, hear) 1t is,
therefore, my intention to move that we address her
Majesty expressing our sympathy with her on this
painful occasion, and the horror feel the crime
which has been committed. Your ordships, | am
sure, will hear without surprise that her Majesty
received the shock OF the intelligence tc0h the
courage and cdtnneSs characteristic OF herself
and her race. (Cheers) My lords, move that

convey to her Majesty the expression of and
indignation with which we have heard Of the afro
cious attempt to assassinate his Royal Hghness the
Duke of Ednburg while on visit to lier Majestys
loyal Australian colonies, and Of our heartfelt con-
gratuations to her Majesty at his preservation from
mortal injury; ana to assure her Majesty Of the SYM

Accounts continued To arrive confirming the first
kilograms in reference to the death OF KING Theo-

The London Times of the 9th ultimo. speaking
OF Mr.. GladstOnes personal defence letter. says:rhe
letter from Mr.. Gladstone which we published ON sat
urday will afford To the gIea part of the British pub
lie curious revelation, and one not altogether Salts
factory. II there be any real for the letter,
II reveals the first place, depth OF folly and gull
lbty In certain classes and regions which he hoped
had long become obsolete. The bugbears which
frightened old tory squIres and country parsons
hundred and nifty years ago were conceivable when
they had no better information than Dn,Tis Nelrs
letter, and when they seldom stirred beyond few
miles from their village or their seat. But the fabr
cations which, according to Mr.. Gladstone, have been
'.assiduousy circulated In different parts OF the
country within the ast fortnight or thereabOuts,"
are really not much better than the stories winch
had so disturbed the foxnunter-that the lions I'm the
tower had been ang ever since the accession OF tile
the House of Hanover, and that Charles !. sat very
loose In his seat at Charng Cross. There IL no doubt
thai country people have shaken their heads from
time To time over similar fances and aDsurdities;
but we really did think that in these times OF neni-
gence, OF the press, OF general Intercourse, and OF
common sense the day OF such 1ctions had passed.
Men ike Mr. Disraeli and Mr.. Gladstone
have at all times the ear OF the House OF Commons
for personal well for public matter Of the least
genera interest. ANY fabrication That could do Mr..
Gladstone the slightest damage would be SIRE To
come belo c him IN tie House in form when lie
could notice. Anything which IL too rining or too
ridiculous to occupy the attention OF the House of
Commons Is beneath the dignity ana unworthy the
notice Of "a great statesman.
Public meetings were held in Dundee, Stirling ana

time in the house Of Lords without DIVISION April
q. 1t encountered vigorous opposition from a Jew

the main principle Of the BILL and Is an important
result.
