he alone can truly answer.
We have much interesting iotelligence
before us. We shall proceed first with
ENGLAN I).
A long debits took place in the I rouse of
Lords on the 28th of Mouth, when a num
ber of petitions in favour of reform were
presented by various peers.' The number
presented in the House of Lords before the
introduction of the measure in the Cum-
MOM, was 479, and subsequently 4 17.
The sallied was opened
.in the I lomko or
Lords by Lord Wharnelifii!, who moved the.
presentation orcertain papers. In atiwer
tocertain observations made by him, Earl
Grey stated that nothing short of a restora
tion of the proper influence of the people in
the House of Commons would satisfy their
expectations, or meet his wishes. Lord
Wharnelifie stated at length that - while he
would support the noble Lord in any .mea
sure, he-cfaild not go so far as was propos
'
era, since it woukl put in jeopardy all, the
settled institutions of the country.. It was .
contended strenuOusly by Lord Sidmivadli
and the Earl of Eldon, that it was out of or
der to enter upon the discussion of a bill
which was not upon the table of the House,
and of which nothing more could be knout'
than that it had been twice read in the
other House. Lord Chancellor Brougham
in a few remarks of rather a jocose elmarac
. ter, said - he thought it strange that two no
ble Lords opposed to the measure ofreform,
should sit patiently listening for two hours.
to a speech against it, and fund out that it
was disorderly when one of its authors ((.ord
Durham) rose to vindicate-it, Lord Dun
h am rose, amid cries or "Go on,'! :and ad
dressed the House in a speech of consider
able length, in Winch he stated, as a mem
ber of the governntent, that whilternimsters
were anxious that the crown should posses,.
all its just prerogatives, and the House of
I,ords all its privileges, they were also anx
ious that the rights of the people should be
understood and established. "Par from
wishing to diminish the splendor of the
--eroWn T -therwere-endeci-Youritig- -to give-it
fresh lustre, and to add lo it another jewel;
the love and confidence of a fairly represent
ed and well satisfied people." Atter the
Duke of Richmond, Lord Plunkett and
others had spoken, the Lord Chancellor
rose, and after apologising for pressing, his
remarks on the House at so late an hour,
wont into the subject in an animated and ar
gunientative speech. He contended that
parliament was now called upon to do that
regularly, which, No. for the Union would
have been irregularly done; and concluded
by saying he had no more doubt than he
bad of the ultimate success of the measure,
that but for the Union that would have been
done by the crown which thek , were now
called upon to do by legislation. The Duke
-of Wellington replied. He hadimt, lie said,
changed his opinion on the sulget of reform
-....sinceais addresS to their Lordships in the
early part of the session. In principle, no
borough could be deprived-o 1 its franclii. , e;
and though cases of necessity might govern
this Strict rule, he contended that none such
existed. Some remarks made b him as to
— the causes which had led him, to resign,
induced a commentary from Lord Grey,
who said the amount of the °Duke's state
ment seemed to he; that having determined
to. resign, ho hastened it to avoid the time
when the question ofparliamentary reform
might have :been carried. We have no
leisure fir a further sketch of the debate.
The House did not ,Juljourn until . half past
.two o'clock. A. M. When the addresq, as k- ,
ing for the returns orthe - populatioti of coun
ties, cities and towns,. was agreed to.
. The discussion on the Mitsisterill reform
: as renewed on the thirtieth, when Lord
. 0
1 tultainjook occasion to dechire his mutter
dissent to it. ' The effect of the measure, he
said, as regarded Ireland, would be to send
' lo the House of -Commons forty or fifty
nominees of the'l rish agitators; and the re
sult Of that would be the destruction of the
.church estahlisliment_in Ireland, and the
dissolution of-tire connexion between the two
countries.
Karl Grey in replyg,ig,Ntid he •had ne
ver heard a speech more pernicious in its
tendency, and calculated to lead to the ex
citement which was 60 unuelvto be &pre-
- eated. • • ..
The question of a dissolution of Parlia
ment seems quite unsettled. The Courier!
say it will not take place, unless on the i
third . reading or the . Retbrin Ibll, - Nit should i
be, rejected. If it should pass by a small
-- fifijOritv,. it will
. Ite carried to the Lords,
and i f rejected it - R - '

hunt the powers of their governoi s, and in a good
