a notice fur efieciimg an orgaoic change in the coustitutioo of ihe house of lords may at this tnomeot be recorded by the first law officer of the crown loud cries of bear sir his majestys ministers have iu no respect evinced such unparalleled dex terity as io muzzling aod mantrrliog their ra dical confederates iu this rtogpect thoy re mind me of what i once beam conceroiog certain lodian

but as soon as they return to their respective con stituencie and require to make a grand dis play at some great ctinner or public cneoting the pwbtlr is regaled with most eloquent effu sions upon house of lords reform or annual parliaments or any of the other peculiar doc trines which bewilder and impose upon the multitude look fur instant at the case of my hoo friend the member for middlesex ho seems to me to have of late bad at leatt two fits of political paralysis lood cheer and laughter his his ghter one side mouth is drawn altogether to mm loogue refuses any longer to discharge that effort which is at one time exe cuted with so much zeal and ability of de molishing superfluous patronage and denoun cing ministerial profusion- ah air my hoq frieod would not have been caught napping sf a tory government had proposed such extra vagant measures as he now leaves for the sa lutary correction of the house of lords we abould then have bad no voting that black was while but wo should have had debate upon debate and division upoo division and every clause would have beeo sifted aod overy fraction of every charge contested with unshrinking pertinacity aod the lists of ma jorities and minorities would have been circa- hied in red and black ink throughout every district in tho empire before i conclude i once more turn to my noble lurd and ak him how he expects that without ao organic change in the house of lords ho can ever hope to carry tho clause for pillagiog the churth of ireland of it property or any bill for establishing throughout ireland a chaio of popish fortresses for endangeriog the security of lite protestant population t cheers docs the qubto lord recollect the expedient to which brennus had recourse for overwhelm ing that august assembly nf roman patricians whose coostaocy he could not subdue he led into the seoatahouso ic baod of fierce barbariaos from the hills and immolated those illustrious patriots ot the shrine nf their gods and of their country aod thus sir ih onbla lord jf ha wishes to carry thrnugh ihei pernicious enactments must march into th house of lords with 150 titled lackies in blue and buff liveries at his heels cheers aod laughter tbo ooblo lord has quoted the opinion of a distinguished foreigner with rc- gard to the comparative merits of tho houses of parliament sir i contend if wo may judge from experience and observation there is a treat preponderance in this country of hereditary over elective talent how few billt aro ever tent up from this house w liieli do not bear the most palpable and humiliat ing marks of crude and partial legislatinnt aud it is as much the practice aj it is the pro viucft of the house of peers to detect our rnomaues to rectify our blunders to supply our omissions and to reconcile our incongrui ties i ask every one who hears me whether there is aoy comparison between the attention paid to our debates and ihe interest eicited when tho same question is dicused in ano ther place how few peers are found seated during our debates on the comioocliuus bench e provided for their reception but when the very same bill is discussed in the house of lords we find half the oahinet ministers and all the leaders of opposition aod eveo many of tho stauuchesl house of lords reformer standing with great personal inconvenience at ibeirhar for hour together aud listeoing wiih delight perhaps not unmiogled with envy to tho wisdom and ability which are there con- tinually duplayed how grudgiugly do thco delighted auditor retire when summoned by a division bell to vote upon somo question in idii imhk- of rite debate rwfirumg whhh they have not heard one single word hear and a laugh but sir we cannot be sur prised at this superiority iu the houso nf lords when we remember that there aro found iq that assembly the moil learned of our clergy the most profound of oor lawyers the most distioguuhed of our heroes and the most in fluential of our country gentlemen i con clude by reiterating the expressino of my cod- victioo that the conduct of the house of lords will create throughout the country a feeling of confidence and thankfulness nn the part of those ahose approbation it must he the object of every generous ond wellregulated mind to conciliate and to possess and that the names of thoso noblemeo who have stood prominent ly forward as the defenders of our
