POETR y. ELLr: GRAY.—DY T. MILLER. 'Twas May-day morn, nor had a lovelier day from out the eastern chambers e'er been given: Tli(, lark had left the heath, and flown away SINGING into the clear blue vault of heaven; The bee went round to tell the flowers 'twas iMay, The breeze and sunshine o'er the brook had driven, Earih laughed with joy, the SOLEMN wood looked IAY, As if its echoes yet mi^ht answer Elh'TI Gray. Slow moving from a woodbined cottage duor, A mournful group in tear-bathed silence came; Six white-robed village maids a coffin bore, Their pallid cheeks did their deep grief proclaim; Each on her bosom a p"de lily wore, I An emblem of that virgin's spotless fame; A white pet lamb followed a little way, Aud by its bleatings seemed to call for Ellen Gray. BUT there was one who loved — Oh where was lie ? That night she died, from holne he frantic fled, Ano in the wood, beneath the well-known tree, ON the old moss he laid his aching head. AND thus lie answered to the bird or bee Ye need not conic here now, for she is dead; HER hands were cold 1 she never spoke all day Then would he pluck a flower, and call it Ellen Gray. They passed tTie May-pole-but not though less by — The last year's garlands hung all withered there; They had no colours then. to catch the eye, Yet many an eve gazed on them through a tear; RI.1SS0IU, and BND and bell, and leaf were dry, Time's crumbling hand had left them brown and sere; Tvdve months ago they decked the Queen of May, And who? oh! who was she ? They answered, Ellen C, ray." Twelve months ago-and they were blooming there Lovely as she—then oaken bowers were seen, And laugh, and shout, and st\n¿. rose loud and clear, And hght feet danced adown the dasied green, I And soft cloud-sounding music soothed the ear; AUD swiles were showered upon the:r beauteous queen, AND )oung and old did willing honnage pay, B fore the flowery throne, graced by fair Ellen Gray. They reached the chttrcli the aisle looked dim and cold, The columns' dreary shadows longer grew; TNE old g,ra} roof had never seemed so old The fud-cbeckcd angels stood as if they blew Their stony trumpets, and the dull bell tolled In sadder tones; the deep stained window threw A dying splendour round, the echoes lay Snent and mntc as death, listening for Ellen Gray. The earth fell hollow on her coffin lid I •Vho hath not felt that fall ? The funeral hell "I"Snot such wailing woe as that sound did,— it was indeed rh' eternal long farewell,— 1ne grave's litst darkness; age and name were hid, A.K! on the mouid the tears in silence fell: J I-T then a blackbird's song rose loud and gay, Lud brought back to our ears the voice of Eilen Gray. A hoary elm arose above her grave, Whose houghs oft bore the silvery,footed showers; ON these the gaudy garlands drooping wave, 1 houyh destined to be worn in happier hours; tat Death, the loveliest trophies still doth crave: I They dcck her lowly tomb with choicest flowers, Aud in that still churchyard, till night did stay And watered svith their tears, the grave of Ellen Gray.

HI; SXOVV FALL. o At dawn how changed seemed all! In hoary white The earth was garinented thick lay each roof, And wall the lake scowled dark. amid the gleam OF the engirding storm; thestirless boughs Of the near laurels, underneath their load, Bent dowil; while, overhead, the lingering gtari Waned, one by one, in the engulphing blue. faintly wakes morning o'er the southern hill; And Lucifer, in the pale, twilight z.ir, Like the Archangel of the stellar host, Brjht to its latest I winkle, gorgeously Into the portals of the west withdraws. Slowly IIAINS day the mastery over night, NOR long endures the silence; Chanticleer Winds his loud clarion; and, from off the boughs, Leaf1.ess and gnarled, of yon old sycamore, A wild, sweet hymn the hali'-seen robin pipes,— And disappears anon,—and then resumes, Even on the window-sill, its household song. How silent and secluded is the scene ne wond I, wrapt as in its winding sheet, Am. life seems haif extinct. The verdant hills (fheir veruure hid from view), lift up on high, Lpon TIIE fair horizon's verge, their scalps, Dismal, and white, and cold; and from the rocks Les; distant, down whose clefts the summer streams Oustied murmurouslv, a thousand icicles :veflect, with sparry iight, the earliest beams Of sunrise. Dreary winter reigns, and rules }. Mernal nature, and the heart of man; lor feelings take their colour from the hour, And ice, aud snow, and storm surround the soul.' WINTER SKETCHES.

The Order of the Day for taking his Majesty's Speech into consideration having been read, The Duke of LEISTER rose, and said they h id that day heard a most gracious Speech delivered by hiss Majesty, anil he would consult not only their convenience but his own feelings by adverting very shortly to the various topics contained ii: that Speech. (Hear, hear, hear.) His Majesty proceeded to inform them of his reret at hearing that distress prevailed in some parts of Ireland, and to express a wi-h that inquiry should be made into the causes of that distress. For hi, own part, he did not anticipate that much good would result from such an inquiry,however desirable it might be tha! such iuquiries should take place to satisfy the public mind. With respect to tile Chiii,ei) of Ireland, the report of the Commissioners who had been appointed to investigate that subject would he laid upon the table of fit- House, and lie trusted that their Lord- ships would give that subject their best considera- tion, and that the result would be the introduction and establishment ot some salutary measure, tending to the advantage and welfare of that institution, and to the promotion of the peace and trallquiilitJ of that part of the empire. The next poilit alluded to wa., the question ot tithes in Ireland. Now, in any ob- servations which he should make on this subject, he did not intend to throw blame on any party what- ever. He did not intend to express any particular opinions on the subject, nor cast blame upon the ad- ministrators of justice. He had lately come from that country, and he had great satisfaction in ex- pressing his belief that trahqailjty generally pre- vailed there, with the exception of the county of Tipperary. He certainly had had considerable ex- perience of Ireland, having resided there for a great number of years, and he had never known the county of Tipperary to be free from disturbance. The reason of this he certainly did not know. The rest of the country, however, was in a perfectly tranquil state, so far as he had been able to ascertain from inquiry, and so far as his own obervations ex- tended. (Hear ) He trusted, however, that the measures to be introduced to their considerations by his Majesty's Government would be taken into their' most serious attention, and would have the effect of putting an end to any remaining disturbance or clamour that miffht exist. With respect to t'le Irish Corporations, if it had been found that the same abuses and defects existed as were ascertained to have existed in the Municipal Corporations of this country, he trusted that they would find a remedy by putting those corporations on the same footing as the Municipal Corporations of England. The next question referred to in the Speech was the necessity of a poor law for Ireland. The report of the Com- missioners of Poor Law Inquiry had not yet been fully completed, but it certainly appeared that great distress existed in Ireland. He had resided in that country for twenty eight years, and had paid much attention to the condition of its people, and had the fullest opportunity of observing and inquiring into their condition, and the result was that, without pledging himself to any more decided opinion on the subject, he was quite convinced that some measure of the kind must be brought forward. (Hear, hear, hear.) He spoke from experience up to the present time, but would reserve any further expression of opinion on the subject to such time as a measure of that description would be before them. (The Noble Duke then read the Address, which was an echo of the Speech from the Throne. The Earl of BURLINGTON seconded the Ad- dress. The Duke of WELLINGTON then addressed* their Lordships. The Nob'e Duke, after expressing his satisfaction at the assurances in the King's Speech that the general tranquility was not likely to be disturbed, then directed his remarks to the domestic subjects alluded to from the Throne. His Grace discaimed any wist) to embarrass Y.is iii,jesly,s Government, hut stated at the same time his objec- tion to being bound by the pledge introduced into the Address to conider the proposed Municipal Re- form Bill for Ireland on any ground but the real merits of the question. The Noble Duke proceeded —"In the Speech which we have heard read this night, his Majesty states on one particular subject iiiiiiiely, the reform of the municipal corporations in Ireland, that you are already in possession of (Ile repot t of the Commissioners, appointed to inquire isto the slate of Municipal Corporations in Ireland, and that he entertains a hope that it will be in your power to apply to any defects and evils which may he shown to exist in those institutions a remedy founded upon the same principles as those of the Acts which have already passed for England and Scotland. (Cheers.) Surely, my Lords, it is not usual for the Sovereign thus to indicate the parti- cular principles on which measures to he proposed to Parliament are to be framed. (Loud cheers.) It ceftaiuly is not usual for the Sovereign of this country thus to address his Parliament. (Hear.) But, my Lords, the Noble Earl who spoke from the opposite side of the House has stated, and stated truly, that the House ought not to be pledged on the particular principle of this or any other measure ad- verted to in his Majesty's Speech. (Cheers.) I he House may fairly be expected to express its opinion on the expediency of a particular measure; but it ought not to have the principle of such a measure indicated, nor to be expected to express any opinions with reference to that principle. All that the House can properly be called on to do on an occasion like the present, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, is to state that it will take those subjects which his Majesty has recommended to its attention into its rno. serious consideration. (Hear.) According to the usages that have hitherto prevailed, the House certainly cannot be expected to do more than this, and I certainly, for my own part, shall not concur in recognising this novel principle jin au Address to the Throne. (Cheers.) He was sure that his Majesty, with the good sense that belonged to him, did not take this course of his own accord, but at the instance of his responsible advisers. I think that his Majesty's Ministers ought not to have ad- vised the one, and I for one must say that I can«ot concur in the other, as proposed by the Noble Lords opposite, in answer to his Majesty's Speech. That speech contains the following para,,rapli YOU are already in possession of the report of the Com- mission appointed to inquire into the state of the Municipal Corporations in Ireland, and I entertain the hope that it will be in your power to apply to any defects and evils which may have been shown to exist in those IlJstitutiolli a remedy, founded upon the same principles as tho-e of the Acts which have already been passed for England and Scotland.' I cannot participate in this hope. I must dec are that I shall not pledge myself, nor call upon the Noble Lords to pledge themselves, to any measure in the hope that these principles may be carried into effect. My intention is to pi-opoi-e, as an amendment to this part of the Speech that 'Beiil,(r already in possession of the report of the Com- mission appointed to inquire into the slate of the Municipal Corporations in Ireland we will proceed without delay to the consideration of any defects or evils which may have been shown to exist in these institutions, for the purpose of applying such reme- dies as may obviate iust grounds of complaint and insure the impartial administration of justice. Viscount MELBOURNE said that he gave his most entire and most cordial concurrence to the aeutimentta expressed by the Noble DuRe on the subject of the foreign policy ofthe country. He should use every effort, and give the Noble Duke every assistance in his power to carry into effect that course ot policy. The preservation of the general peace was the great end and object to which every exertion should be directed. He (Viscount Mel- bourne) agreed in the observations of the Noble Duke with respect to the naval force ofthe country, and he also agreed with him in thinking that no increase should be made which had not for its object to maintain the maritime interests of the country, and to give protection to its extended com- merce. The objection taken by the Noble Duke to the present Address was that it was not usual to point out principles. He (Viscount Melbourne) extremely doubted whether it nas not usual in Speeches from the Throne to suggest to parliament the principle in which it should proceed in legis- lating upon a certain subject. What possible reason, he would ask, was there that it should not be so He could assure the Noble Duke that the paragraph in question was matnrely considered, and that the word "ptinciple" was adopted to obviate any objec- tion that might arise from the supposition that Mi- nisters were endeavouring or bound to apply the Acts for reforming the Corporations in England and Scotland to Ireland. He had endeavoured to guard against that objection He trusted that theSioble- Duke, for the sake of that unanimity which he thought so desirable, would not insist upon the amendment wh;ch he had proposed (Hear, hear.) After some observations from the Earl of Will- chelsea, Lord Wharncliffe, the Marquis of Lans- downe, a reply from the Duke of Wellington and Lord Melbourne, The Amendment was agreed to without a division. The House adjourned at seven o'clock. "1. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY. On the re-assembling of the House, Sir JOHN ROT1 ESLEY moved the Address to the Throne. As lIsual upon such occasions, he alluded in suc- CMston to thevariolls topics of the Speech, and Mn. i,e»°ra ^00r Law Bill, and a measure of Municipal Reform for Ireland. On both point# ttil: tioiiottrable tiaronet was unfortunate. He illustrated the advantages of a legal provision for the poor, by the discovery that in England the new law for that purpose had "relieved the able bodied poor from thraldom anddependance," and in praise of a Reform in the Irish Corporations he stated that h the foundation of all the mischief in Ireland is poverty." The Address was seconded by Mr Parker, Mem- ber for Sheffield, who, in the course of some ob- servations on the future interp1 etation to be given to the Union with Ireland, addressed himself, with marked emphasis of gesture, to that part of the House where -Nir O'Co,,inell sat. Sir ROBi^Rl PEEL then addressed the House. After touching on our Foreign I'o'icy in general, and particularly with respect to Spain, he pro- tested in a very forcible manner against the breach of established courtesy involved in so wording the Address as to pledge Hon. Iembers, not to inquire into and redress the defects in the Irish Corpora- tions, but to the declaration of a particular mode of legi-ilation on the subject, even when the Speech from the Throne, to "hich the Address was an answer, admitted that the proof or any delects had not yet been furnished by the Commissioners for Municipal Inquiry. In conclusion, the Right Hon. Baronet moved an amendment on that portion of the Address referred to, to the effect that the House would zealously inquire into, and scrupu- lously redrass any grievances that might be proved to exist. This amendment was opposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The Noble Lord att empted adefinition of the princip e" on which Municipal Reform was founded and, as far as one could judge from appearances, without creating any powerful con- viction in the House. Lord STANLEY—who spoke from the same bench with Sir Robert Peel, and somewhat nearer the Speaker's chair—followed the Noble Secretary for the Home Department. His Lordshipexpressed his disposition to do whatever justice might require in the reform of Irish corporations, but concurred with Sir Robert Peel in refusing to be pledged by others to the adoption of any peculiar plan for securing that object. The Noble Lord was succeeded by Lord HOWICK, who followed up a somewhat ostenta- tious disclaimer of any personal friendshipwith Mr O'Connell by a declaration that the power at this moment possessed by that Hon. Member was attributable solely to the measure of Catholic Emancipation not having been sooner passed. We did not observe that his Lordship made any reference to the repeated asseverations of Mr O'Connell during the discussions on that question, that the settlement of it would deprive him of his previous monopoly of political influence. A change in the immediate topics of debate then took place for a short time, by the announcement, on the part of Lord DUDLEY STUART, of his intention to move an amendment to the Address with respect to Poland. His Lordship, however, before sitting down, withdrew the proposed amend- ment, and satistied himself with stating that he should bring forward the subject on Tuesday, the 16th of this month. \i'SC0lint PALMERSTON complimented the Noble Lord on the course he had pursued, on the ground that as Ministers had on former occasions advised the King to assure the House that unre- mitted attention should be paid to the affairs as well of Poland as of Turkey there was no ground to suspect them of indifference to either. The correctness of this conclusion was singu- larly illustrated immediately afterwards by Mr HARDY, Member for Bradford, who, in comment- ing on the assertions of Ministers and their friends on various occasions that they had not come over to the views of O'Connell, contrasted, in a striking manner, their professions in 1834, on the subject of the -1 approprizition" of Irish ecclesiastical property, with their practice on the same subject in 183.5. Mr Il. G. WARDE, in a short speech, took oc- casion to elllogise and defend Mr O Connell, in a very zealous manner. Colonel SIBTHORPE supported the amendment. The Gallery was then cleared for a division, which was however delayed by the rising of Mr 0 Connell. He reiterated, with scarcely a varia- of phrase, the speeches he has lately made in Ireland and some parts of England, and declared his resolution to support Ministers. Mr F. SHAW made some forcible but brief re- marks on what had fallen from Mr O'Connell, and the House then divided. The numbers were— For the Address 284 For the Amendment 243 Majority for the Address.. 41 The result, we believe, was quite unexpected by all who had paid attention to the tolerably intelli- gible apprehensions of defeat that were hinted TK uL°rd Pal,rjerston MrO'Connell. adjourned"56' 00 'tS r'S'n^' s'10rtb- af'er eleven, HOUSE OF LORDS—FRIDAY. After prayers, which were read by the 13"hop of 1 o ? the Lord Chancellor took the woolsack at "alt-past 12 o'clock. The Duke of ARGYLL, as Lord High Steward of ie Household, announced to their Lordships that ls Majesty would receive the address, in answer 0 Jhe speech from the throne, at St. James's Palace, at half-past 2 o'clock. The Earl of Egmont took his seat as Baron Lovel and Hollalld. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of hi* noble and learned friend, the Lord Chief Justice of lie (:ourt ot Kiiills Bench, presented a bill for the Johtion of capital punishment in certain cases, whIch was i-ead a first time. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the Appeal Committee was appointed. At 2 o'clock their Aord-hips adjourned to Mon- ay> and the Duke of Leinster, the mover, and the ar Burlington, the seconder, of the address, toother with the Earl of Sliaftsbury and the Bishops of Hereford and Bristol, proceeded with the address I°o d'a'ne8 S' w',erc ,hey xvou'd be joined by the wi'h white staves, aud other peers, who were a eu"'ng a chapter of the Order of the Garter. ### Th QHOlSE of COMMONS—FRIDAY. e Speaker took the chair at a few minutes before 4 o'clock. Mr S. CRAWFORD gave notice, that on the 10th o arch he would move for leave to bring in a bill ,o the law relating to landlord and tenant iu Ireland. Mr POULTER gave notice, that on the 17th of February he would move for leave to bring in a bill to prevent the use of threats and intimidation at the election of members to serve in Parliament, t DIVETT ave notice, that on the 3d of March he would move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal so much of the Spirit Licenses Act as imposed au additional duty of 5U per cen t. on spirit 1 censes. The same Hon. Member gave notice, that on Tuesday next he would move for leave to bring in a bill to disfranchise the borough of Stafford, and that oNi the same day he would move the continuance of the suspension of the Stafford writ. Captain PECHELL presented a petition from the spirit dealers in Clapham and other places in Surrey, praying for the reduction of the additional duty on spirit licenses. Mr FINN gave notice, that on Tuesday next he would submit a motion to the house in consequence of the publication of the report of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, which he deemed a breach of the privileges of that House. He saw the name of the Hon. Member for Cavan affixed to this document, he begjred to ask if his signature was genuine? Mi H MAXWELL replied in the affirmative. MrTIXN then gave notice, that he would move "that Oiangeisni in Ireland has- been productive of the most baneful effects upon the character and administration of public justice, &c. &c. Mr HARDY gave notice, that on a future day he would move for leave to britt- in a bUI to amend the several acts relating to bribery at the election of menlbers to serve in Parliament. Mr SHEIL gave notice, that on the llth of February he would more for a return of all processes issued out of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland in the case of" Kiiox v. Gavinalso a return of all orders made by the said Court in that case also a return of the orders issued by the Irish Government in 18^3, 1825, and 1833, respecting the employment of the polite force in the execution of civil writs, and the signatures attached to the said orders. On the motion of Mr E.J. STANLEY, new writs were ordered to be issued for Stoke-upon-Trent, in the room of R. tieatlicote, Esq. and for Cockermouih, in the room of F. B. Dykes, Esq. who had severally accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr HUME gave notice, lhat on Wednesday next he would move that all bills of that House should be drawn up in a plain round hand instead of being engrossed in black letter. SESSIONAL ORDERS. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the house then proceeded with the consideration of the usual sessional orders. Several of them were agieed to. The order in reference to the printing of the papers of the House by the King's printer having been read, Mr HUME said one of the resolutions which had been last session adopted by the committee on printed papers recommended, that in future the votes should be printed in a condensed and close form, whereby one third of the present expense of printing them would be saved. He wished to know whether preparation* had been made for printing the votes ana proceeuiug> or 4111; House according to the form annexed to the report of the committee? The SPEAKER replied, that the resolution of the Honse on that subject had been carried into effect. The Right Iloh. Gentleman then proceeded with the reading of the remaining orders. As to private bills, it was ordered that 110 petition fur a private bill should be received after the I!)ih of February; that no private hili should be tcadanrst time after the 28th of hrch, and that the House would not rece vc the report upon any private bill atter the 6th of June next. Some ot the succeeding orders having been read, MrEWART said, that he rose lo tiv>ve a series of amendments similar to those he had; moved last session 011 this subject. The first of them was, that hereafter the select committees appointed by that house should consist of not more than II members. The iuconveniencesalready experienced from having such committees composed of too many members were acknowledged on all hands, aud he therefore did not anticipate any opposition to this resolution. Mr fit seconded the resolution. The motion was agreed to; alid, on the motion of Lord John Russet', the committee was appointed. It was then moved and carried, that the resolution proposed by Mr Ewart should be referred to the said committee. Mr HUME said that he would now call the atten- tion of the House to the resolutions which had been reported to that House last S ssion by the Committee oil Printed Papers and agreed to. Mr F. BARING suggested, that the better way was, that the report of the Committee on Printed Papers should be communicated to the Lords. An order to that effect was accordingly made. A di,cusioii arose respecting the distribution of the statutes to members, &c. and the resolution of the committee respecting the superintending the piinting of the papers. 'I he former subject was left as it was, and the latter adjourned to Iloiiday. Mr E\VART rose to move a resolution, namely, that no business, except such as was of a formal nature, should be entered upon after half-past 11 o'clock at night. Mr WALLACE seconded the motion. Lord J. RUSSELL, was understood to say that, it appeared to him there would be many, and, he feared, insurmountable obstacles, in the way of its practical enforcement. He should be compelled to oppose the motion. Mr O'CONNELL observed, that he objected to the resolution of the Hon. Member, as he considered half-past 11 a half-hour too late to enter into any public business. He should move as an amendment that the %vords foi-mal business" be left out, aiid that the words eleven o'clock" be substituted for "half-past 11 o'clock. Sir R. PEEL said he had now had a considerable experience of that House (hear, hear) but he felt bound to say that, during all that experience he had never heard such a proposition made as had just come frolll the Hon. Mjmber for Middlesex. lie had never lieai-d it proposed that that House should forego all control over its priva:e builless.. (Hear.) Other arrangements must be made, other regulations entered upon, before they could pass a resolution which precluded them from entering on business after half-past 11 o'clock at night. The-resolution would not meet the evil-it did lIut in any way inter- fere with a debate upon a subject which had occu- pied the House during the previous part of the evening. It was only new business that was inter- fered with, and so the resolution would not do what the Hon. Memcer wanted—viz. allow him and other Hon. Members to go home at 12 o'clock. He was of opinion that the matter was better left ill the hands of the House, and he was perfectly certain that an intimation to any Hon. Member not to bring forward business of importance at a late honr would be at- tended to. Abstractedly considered, to begin at 10 o'clock in the morning might be very advisable, but before they could enforce such a rule, or reduce it to practice, the must pa*s many corresponding regu- lations. Barristers aud merchants would be ex- cluded by such a regulation, and the public, in his mind, would not g-aiu much by the exclusion of dis- tinguished lawyers, or emiiient,niei,eliallis, from seats in thai House, or from attendance on its de- liberations. (Cheers.) Then to take the case of public committees—if the House sat at that early honr, when would they discharge the duties of com- mittees? The evil would not be met by giving them leave to sit along with the House. Theil, ag-ain, he did not think that the public service would be bene- fitted by the Ministers of :he Crown being obliged to transact the business of their offices -At the hours of two or three o'clock in the morning, which would inevitably be the case if they were obliged to attend the House during the day. (Hear, hear.) It ap- peared to him that these corresponding regulations should be made and under these circumstances, as it was impossible that they could be carried into eff. ct, he could not give his consent to the resolu- tion of the Hon. Gentleman. After a reply from M>" Hume, in which he was stopped by cries of "Spoke, spoke," and some ob- servations from Mr Ewart, Mr T. Alt wood, and Dr. Bowring, strangers were ordered to withdraw and the House divided, when there appeai-eti- For the motion, 51 Against it, 233 Majority ngainst the motion. IK-7 Sir J.

Mr P. THOMSON (it. was understood) said it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to bring forward any measure on the subject. IIKPORT os THE ADDRESS. Sir J. Wrottesley brought up the report on the Address.. On the question that it be read, Mr FECTOR said that he must raise his voice against that paragraph in the Address which rc- lated to the affairs of Spain, He could not give his assent to that paragia»'h> which awarded the appro- bation of the British Pat'liatiietit to tile ,pi-u,lence and vigour" which were said to have characterized the recent measures of the Queen of Spain. What %vej*e those rnti.,i)s-es? They were written in letters of blood in the streets of Barcelona, where atroci- ties had been perpetrated disg,aceful to human nature. Those atrocitics were committed in spite of the convention which Lord Eliot had induced the contending parties to sign, in order to avoid the prodigal etfusion of human blood. He considered the late Government entitled. to the thanks of every friend of humanity for the exertions which they bail used to obtain that convention. hat, however, was the first act ofthe present Government ? Was it not to send out to Spain a batid of hired i-uffians, taken from the purlieus of London! The British army was disgraced by seeing an officer of some standing in it, and also of som military acquire- ments, leading such a band or hired ruffians. The British uniform was disgraced by it, the British officers were disgraced by it, -a an indelible stain was cast upon the entire British empire. Deeply did he regret that the British Government had lent its sanction to such an expedition- Mr HUME defended General Evans. He was glad that Ministers had resolved upon carrying the Address unmutilated, and wished they had acted with equal firmness in another place. (Hear.) How were persons at a distance to understand the con- duct of Ministers if they found them uttering dif- (erent sCllliments in either House of Parliament? ("Hear," and laughter from the Opposition.) It might be said that the majority against Ministers in the Lords was considerable, hut he should have liked to see the Address pressed, ill order that they might know who were their opponents. To ay that the Amendment had been agreed 011 in the Lords was its very worst recommendation to him. Tile Lords had placed themselves beyond the pale of the people, they had no sympathy wllh the community. ("0:1, oh ') The Hon. Member went on in the same slrain, and said that on the present occasion he should support the Address. Mr R. Tlt EVOR after replying to some observa. tlons of the Hon. Member respecting the Member for Dover, said the Member for Midd esex had in- dulged not only in unjustifiable- but ullculleci for and unconstitutional observations Oil the other House of Parliament. The Hon. Gentleman said that he liked no one of its acts. God in Heaven forbid that the Hon. Gentleman eve r should like any act of the House of Lords. (" Hear," and laugitei.) God in heaven forbid that the advocate of reckless change and the hater of existing institutions should ever sully with one expression of approbation an assembly to which every sincere friend of the monarchy looked in times of danger for protection and salvation. (Hear) He was not indeed surprised, when he re- collected the Hon. Gentleman's language both out of doors nnd within those walls, to tind him casting such aspersions on the Lords; but he must say that such conduct was derogatory and unworthy of the character and dignity of a Member of that House, (Hear.) He saw not what business we had on every Occasion to bring forward the House of Lords, and convert its proceedings iuto subjects of debate, un- justly attempting to expose them to public odium, representing the Peers as indifferent to the best interests of their country, deaf to the prayers of the people, and ignorant of their wauls and wirdies. Such charges were unjustifia! Ie aud gross, and, if not transgressing the rules of Parliamentary discus- sion, he would add that they were worthy of the Hon. Gentleman who made them. (" Hear," and laughter ) He for one, in justice to the principles which he professed, could not do otherwise than enter h's solemn protest against the Address about to be sent up to his Majesty. With the exception of what was sufficiently clearly expressed with regard to the Irish corporations, the whole was i-oxet pre- tcErca nihil, for not another subject was placed in a clear or satisfactory ligh:. One important subject introduced by Ministers last Session, and converted into their war cry, had been consigned to the tomb— he hoped, he might add, to oblivion. Of course he referred to the appropriation question. They were told, indeed, of a hope that the question of tthe in Irdaud would be settled so as to establish harmony aud peace in that country; and it was also staten, that on receiving a further report from the commis- sion appointed to inquire into the state of the dioceses of England and Wales, the House were to dii-ect their attention to the ecc'esi istical establishment, with the intention of rendering it more efficient for the holy purposes for which it had been instituted. He sincerely wished the establishment mighi thereby become better adapted for ils sacred purpose; but when he considered into what hands the changes to be madc and the management of the plan wOll171 fall, he looked on the matter with an extremely jealous eye. He had no confidence in the individuals who 1 st Session supported the proposition of appro- priating the revenues of the Irish Church to other than ecclesiastical purposes—he did not think they would do justice to the Church property of England; and, in fact, he anticipated nothing short of this— that, if unchecked, they would pursue some similar system of spoliation with respect to the Church in this country. (Hear, hear.) He hoped, however,that there would be such an expression of public ferlino- as might induce them to pause in their course. (Hear, hear. Mr EWART made a few remarks. Mr POTTER expressed the great satisfaction with which he regarded the different toric- of his Majesty's speech from the throne. As a Dissenter, he espe- cially thankpd Ministers for the intention they ex- pressed to remove the grievances under which that body still laboured he hoped that one of their measures would be the entire abolition of Church rates. Dr. BOWRING reprobated the calumtiies which [ had been directed against the people of Spain and France. Lord F. EGERTON altogether dissented from the statement made by the Hon. Member for Middlesex, that the people of this country held something like all unqualified concurrence in the extreme opinions which that Hon. Gentleman had undoubtedly a riht to entertalll: for, however easy it might be to raise a clamour or heat down argument, and although the sober intelligence of a great portion of the com- munity was not prone to manifest itself in the vio- lence of a public meeting, he had a right, represent- in as he did some thousands of constituents, to say that the sentiments entertained by a portion, not the least respectable or important class of the commu- lIity, were not those (whatever might be the sound- ness of the judgment which dictated them) enter- tained by that Hon. Member. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the speech itselt, he felt anxious to express with more energy than he could convey by a silent vote, his own individual concurrence in the senti- ments expressed by his Right Hon. Friend, rhe Member for Tamworth, last ni.:ht, as to our relative situation with France. He might, perhaps, clltertain some doubt whether it were altogelhcr prudent or politic to lay a stress on that connexion as com* pared with those specific relations, which, he thanked God, were still maintained with the other powers of Europe, which might, perhaps, induce them, if over fastidious, to take umbrage at the particular expiessions which were used but tie Was not dis- posed too clost-ly to criticise or quarrel with the Speech on that ground, for he could not disguise his feelings, that Britain's connexion and alliance with her gTPat and powerful neighbour formed one of the main textures of our continental policy, to which lie would ever first and mainly look. With regard to that passage of the speech which referred to Spain, he must say, if callt.d 011 by any distinct motion, lie should have felt some difficulty not in expressing the hope, but in concurring in lhe ex- pectaitioij, that the measures adopted in that country by its own Government, or partly with our aBui«t- ance, were likely speedily to put an end to that san- guinary contest, which every gentleman 111 that House, and every individual in the country, so deenlv lamented. It mi'>ht be that the Nollie Lonl (Paltnersion) had received information which was not accessible to ordinary observers but there were no accounts he was aware of before the country which gave reason, to suppose that the expedient resorted to by Government had yet succeeded ill producing the slightest mitigation of the horrors of that contest, or were at all likely, within a reason- able period, to bring' it to a close. He should be too glad to read his recantation of those views It events should jnstifv it. He entertained 110 wish or desire to see a Governmeut re-established in that country that should rest on the violelkt (ittholic Inquisition basis, hut he was afraid that so rash had been the measures of those who were opposed to that system,, that it was impossible to look forward with hope or expectation to the speedy arrival of that period, when tranquility would be I-esioi-ed in a country so distracted and torn by civil convulsion as the Peninsula of Spain. 0.1 tnose grounds he thought that passage of the speech not botne out by facts; it was insincere and untrue, and therefore he could not assent to it. Lord PALMERSTON defended those who had volunteered in the cause of the Queen of Spain. The rcport of the Address was agreed to. It was then ordered that the Address should be presented by the wnole House. Oil the motion of Mr G, PRICE, a return was or- dered of Ihe lIumucr of officersaud men receivingpay in his Majesty's service who were at present em- ployed in the service of the Queen of Spain. ANNUITY OF THE KING Of BKLGIUM. Mr ROBINSON wished to ask his Right Hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any payments had yet been made imo the public treasury ari.-ing from the annuity which his .'Majesty, King Leopold, had relinquished to thecountiy Mr S. RICE was prepared to state that the arrangc- mects wiill respect to the annuity proposed by his Majesty, the Kingof Belgium, had been most sti rctly adhered to. In a short lime an account would be laid 011 the table which would show the amount of the annuity which had become ava lable for the public service. AVitil tile -,Xcepti(, ot*oni(,eii!a,e- ments which his Majesty had entered into, for the purpose ot granting pensions to falthtul servants on his establishment in this country, 'he whole amount I of the annuity wou'd be made available for the public service. (Hear, hear.) THE INTENDED NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Mr HUME wished to ask his Right Hon. Fi-ieiid a question as to the plans for the intended new Houses of Parliameut. He had Keen a paragraph in the newspapers, which stated that all the plans which had been sent in had been returned-by the commis- sioners except five. Mr S. RICE said that it was his intention, before the rising of the House that evening, to give notice of a motion, for Tuesday next, for the revival ofthe Building Committee which sat last Session. He wou'd now. give notice of his motion for Tuesday. Mr HUME gave notice, that on the same day he would move, lhat it be an instruction to lhe Com- mittee to reconsider the question as to the iutended site of the two Houses. GRANT FOR THE RELIEF of THE POLES. Lord D. STUART, adverting to the gi-aikt moved for bv the Government iu the last Session, for the relief of the Polish refugees in this country, asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it was his intention to propose asimilar grant in the present Session. (Hear, hear) Mr S. RICE g-a ve credit to his Noble Friend for the humane, feeling which had suggested the question. It afforded him great pleasure to say, in reply, that it was his intention to pi opose a similar grant in the present session. (Hear, hear.) Mr BORTH WICK gave notice, that on an early day he would bring forward a motion relative to the Mauritus. The House then adjourned, at half-past eight. HOUSE OF COMMONS—SATURDAY The SPEAKER took the Chair at one o'clock. There was but a thin attendance of members. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that that portion of his Majesty's Speech which re- lated to the supplies be read, which was accordingly done. The Right HOII, Gelltlemal; then gave notice that on Moixiay next he should move that the House resolve itself into a Committee of Supply. LAW OF LIBEL. Mr C. DULLER gave notice that on an early day he sliotil(I iiiove for the appointment of a Select Com- mittee to inquire into the present state ofthe law re- lating to libels. (Hear, hear.) THE ADDRESS. Lord J. RUSSELL appeared at the Bar and in- formed the House that his Majesty had appointed two o clock to-day for receiving the Address in answer to the Royal Speech. The Speaker, accompanied by fie Members present, then left the House, and proceeded in state to St. James's Palace. The House then adjourned until Monday, 1 here was not a single Member on the Opposition Benches, HOUSE OF LORDS-MOND4V. Lord DUNCANNON, in moving the re-appoint ment of the Committee on the new Houses of Parliament, stated that fonr pia lIS had been selected, and that the Commissioners would shortly be in a situation to make a report on the suubject. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice of a motion for this day, ior a return ot the warlike Stores furnished by the Government of this country to Spain; and added that he should take that opportunity of putting some questions with a view- t throw light on thé affairs of thai country. The Noble Marquis having inquired it the twenty seven Carlist Oiffcers so long imprisoned at Corunna were yet released, and Lord Melbourne having intimated his ignorance 0:1 the subject, the con- versation dropped. The Lord CHANCELLOR presented his Majes- ty's answer to their Lordships'Address, and then moved for some returns relating to the business (9f the Court of Chancery, preparatory to the introduc- tion of measures for remedying the evils that exist in that Court. The Noble and Learned Lord gave notice that on Friday next he would bring in a Bill tor the regulation of the Ecclesiastical Courts. Their Lordships then adjourned. .###### HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. Several Petitions were presented, complaining of Agricultural Distress, and others on miscellaneous subjects. I Colonel BRUEN gave notice that on Thursday next he would present some Petitions relative to certain recent proceedings connected with the Eleclion for the county of Carlow. Colonel SIBTHORPE gave notice of a Motion for returns of all Commissions issued since Novem- ber, 1830. Lord J. RUSSELL declined giving a general answer to a question as to the measures of Church Reform contemplated by Government, but said that the subject of pluralities and non-residence would certainly be included in thein. A short conversation ensued with reference to the General-Order issued by Lord Hill in August last, relative to Orange Lodges in the Army, and Mr HUME gave notice of a Motion on the subject. But the great subject of interest was the Motion by Lord J. Russell, for a Select Committee to in- quire into Agricultural Distress. His Lordship alluded to the general desire that existed for in- quiry, and to the wish expressed in many quarters that the question of the currency should be mixed up with the investigation. On the latter point he expressed very strongly the opinion of his col- leagues and himself, that no change ought to be made; but he was disposed, nevertheless, to leave the Committee perfectly unfettered as to the course of inquiry they mighty thing it advisable to pursue. His Lordship was disposed to think that Parlia- ment would be unable to afford the relief required. The Marque of CHANDt)S expressed himself satisfied that the Committee was not to be bound down by any resti ictious hut could by no means agree with the Noble Lord that Parliament would not be able to devlNe some plan of relief to the agri- culturists. All ampndment was then moved by Mr T. ATWOOD, that it be all instruction to lhe Committee to inquire itito the oper,iti,,ii of "Peel's Bill, if' reference to the present distressed state of the landed interest. Colonel SIBTHORPE and other Hon. Members having recommended the withdrawal of the amend- ment, Mr T ATTWOOD ultimately acceded to their suggestion. Some discoveries were communicated to the House by Air J. A. ROEBUCK, among which the most re- markable were, that the lallded proprietors were 811 utterly useless class, and that their distress was solely attributable to their own extravagance. Mr llENETT (of Wiltshire) having vindicated from this attack the country gentlemen of England, ot whom, lie contended, Mr Roebuck knew nothing, Sir R. PEEL rose, and after staling that he was not very sanguine of any ood result from the labours bt the Committee, expressed his hope that they would direct ihcir attention to the practical part of the sub- ject referred to them, rather than wander into the consideration of theories. The Hight HOll. Barouet added that if his presence on the Committee should be thought likely to provoke a discussion on the currency question he would willingly retire to make way tor some other Member not so prominently mixed up with that subject. ir Charles Burrell, Colonel Wodehouse (who was happy to think the Committee would have an oppor- tuuity of ascertaining the practical effect of the gold ■ '"at i?1(* 0,ei" Hon. Members followed and .01 o in {ussellj then read the names of the pro- posed Lommittee. \i- Mr, CAYLEY proposed that the name of Mr 1 a i.as Attwood should be added to the Committee; and after some opposition from Lord J. RUSSELL the motion was agreed to. The Marquis 0F CHAN DOS moved that the Earl \v 1a,' "'S,on» Sir Charles Burrell, aud Colonel Wodehouse should be added. • ^USSELL again objected. Two of the inMviuu.Js proposed, the Noble Lord observed, were county ilieiiibers, and of thatctao there was 3 TV ePonflerance °" *'le !'8t he had read. The House then divided and the numbers were- rorthe motion 142 Against it 149 u u„ majority of seven against, the proposition of Lord Chandos. It was then moved byMrLENNAIlD that Mr Bramstoll, olle of the members for Essex, should be on the Collill)ittce; but the Hon. Member subse- queuily withdrew his motion. TIe Committee, as orig-illarry proposed, was then ai)l)oi,ited, with the addition of Mr. M. Attwood. Leave was given to the Attorney-General to bring i" a Bill to amend the Municipal Corporations' Act. Alter a few words f.-o.iC(,!Ot)ei Sibthoo,t)tl) expl,essiv(. of his opinion that few modern measures required so "ch amendment, and a suggestion by Mr Thomas Attwood, which, if it had been listened to, would have given occa-iou for still further amendment— that there should be no property qualification for town councillors. IL r I ox Maule then obtained leave to bring in a Bill lor the consolidation of turnpike trusts through- out England and Mr Hume for one to regulate the expenses at elections. Some conversation ensued on another motion, by lhe latter Honourable Member, for a Bill to vest the .ghthouse, in management of all lighthouses in England in the Trinity House. Leave was at length given to bring iu the Bill, after the expression of a very general desire that it should not interfere with the the pen- sions hitherto granted to awc,d aiid distressed seamen by the Corporation of the Trinity House. The Chance tor of the Exchequer obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the amendment of t e IVest Indian Compensation Bill; and,after some unimpor- tant business, the House, at niue o'clock, adjourned.

FKAIJDS ON THE REVENUE.—We suppose our contemporaries have been equally favoured with ourselves by the receipt through the Post-office, freed by a Member of Parliament's frank, of a num- ber of the twopenny trash," edited by that bright sample of pure patriotism, Mr John Arthur Roebuck. We have an opinIOn that this is a great abuse of the privilege the lion, member enjoys, virtnfe officii, of sending this unstamped sheet through the Post-oliice, and that a fraud is committed on the revenue of the postage or the stamp.
