this day, attended Her Majesty in the House of 
Peers, when Her Majesty was a 

Her Chancellor, a.most gracious Speech from the 
Throne to both Houses of Parliament; of which 
Mr. Speaker said he had, for greater accuracy, 
obtained a copy; which he read to the House, as 
followeth : 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


In again recurring to your advice and assistance, 
I am happy to inform you that my relations with 
Foreign Poies are on a friendly and satisfactory 
footing. 

I hope that the termination of the War in which 
Prussia, Austria, and Italy have been engaged 
may ena to the establishment of a durable Peace 
in Europe. 

I have suggested to the Government of the 
United States a mode by which questions pend- 
ing between the two Countries, arising out of the 
late Civil War, may receive amicable solution, and 
which if met, as I trust it will be, in a correspond- 
ing spirit, will remove all grounds of possible mis- 
understanding, and promote relations of cordial 
friendship. 

The War between Spain and the Republics of 
Chili and Peru still continues, the good offices of 
My Government, in conjunction with that of the 
Emperor of the French, having failed to effect a 
reconciliation. If, either by agreement between 
the parties themselves or by the mediation of an 
other Friendly Power, Peace shall be restored, 
the object which I have had in view will equally 
be attained. 

Discontent prevailing in some Provinces of the 
Turkish Empire has broken out in actual insur- 
rection in Crete. In common with My Allies, 
|the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of 
Russia, I have abstained from any active interfer- 
ence in these internal disturbances; but our joint 
efforts have been directed to bringing about im- 
proved relations between the Porte and its Chris- 
tian Subjects, not inconsistent with the Sovereign 
Rights of the Sultan. 

The protracted negotiations which arose out of 
the acceptance, by Prince Charles of Hohenzollern, 
of the Government of the Danubian Principalities 
have been happily terminated by an arrangement 
to which the Porte has given its ready adhesion, 
and which has been sanctioned by the concurrence 
of all the Powers, signataries of the'Treaty of 
1856. 

Resolutions in favour of a more intimate Union 
of the Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia, and 
New Brunswick have been passed by their several 
Legislatures, and Delegates duly authorized, and 
representing all classes of Colonial party and opi- 
nion, have concurred in the conditions upon which 
such an Union may be best effected. In accord- 
ance with their wishes a Bill will be submitted to 
you which, by the consolidation of Colonial in- 
terests and resources, will give strength to the 
several Provinces as members of the same Empire, 
and animated by feelings of loyalty to the same 
Sovereign. 

I have heard with deep sorrow that the calamity 
of Famine has pressed heavily on My Subjects in 
some parts of India. Instructions were issued to 
My Government in that Country to make the ut- 
most exertions to mitigate the distress which pre- 
vailed during the autumn of last year. The 
blessing of an abundant harvest has since that 
time materially improved the condition of the 
suffering districts. : 


The persevering efforts and unscrupulous asser- 
tions of treasonable Conspirators abroad have, 


during the last autumn, excited the hopes of some 
disaffected persons in Jreland, and ot sperehen. 
e 











sions of the loyal population; but » yet 
B3 “temperate 


Mr. Speaker reported, That the House had, Mr. 


Her 


eased to make, by Speech. 


















































temperate exercise of the powers entrusted to the | 
Executive, and the hostility manifested against 

the Conspiracy by men of all classes and creeds, 

have greatly tended to restore public confidence, 

and have rendered hopeless any attempt to disturb 

the general tranquillity. I trust that you may 

consequently be enabled to dispense with the con- | 
tinuance of any exceptional Legislation for that 

part of My Dominions. 

I acknowledge, with deep thankfulness to Al- 
mighty God, the great decrease which has taken 

lace in the Cholera, and in the Pestilence which 
attacked our Cattle; but the continued pre- 
valence of the latter in some Foreign Countries 
and its occasional re-appearance in this, will still 
render necessary some special measures of pre- 
caution ; and I trust that the visitation of the former 
will lead to increased attention to those sanitary 
measures which experience has shown to be the 
best preventive. 

Estimating as of the highest importance an ade- 
quate supply of pure and wholesome Water, I 
have directed the issue of a Commission to inquire 
into the best means of aman securing such 
a supply for the Metropolis, and for the principal 
towns in densely peopled districts of the King- 
dom. 


5th February. 





Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


| 
I have directed the Estimates for the ensuing 
year to be laid before you. They have been pre-| 
pared with a due — to economy, and to the 
requirements of the Public Service. 
he will, I am assured, give your ready assent 
to a moderate Expenditure calculated to improve 
the condition of My Soldiers, and to lay the foun- 
dation of an efficient Army of Reserve. 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


Your attention will again be called to the state 
of the Representation of the People in Parliament; 
and I trust that your deliberations, conducted in 
a spirit of moderation and mutual forbearance, 
may lead to the adoption of measures which, without 
unduly disturbing the Balance of Political Power, 
shall freely extend the Elective Franchise. 

The frequent occurrence of disagreements be- 
tween Employers of Labour and their Workmen, 
causing much private suffering and public loss, 
and occasionally leading, as is alleged, to acts of 
outrage and violence, a induced Me to issue a 
Commission to inquire into, and report upon, the 
organization of Trades’ Unions, and other Asso- 
ciations, whether of Workmen or Employers, with 

wer to suggest any improvement of the Law 
for their mutual benefit. A plication will be made 
to you for Parliamentary econ which will be 
necessary to make this inquiry effective. 

I have directed Bills to be laid before you for 
the Extension of the beneficial provisions of the 
Factory Acts to other Trades specially. reported 
on by the Royal Commission on the Employment 
of Children; and for the better regulation, accord- 
ing to the principle of those Acts, of Workshops 
where Women and Children are largely em- 
ployed. 

The condition of the Mercantile Marine has 
attracted My serious attention. Complaints are 
made that the supply of Seamen is deficient; and 
that the provisions for their Health and Discipline 
on ship are imperfect. Measures will be 
submitted to you with a view to increase the-effi- 
ciency of this important Service. 

I have observed with satisfaction the relaxations 
recently introduced into the Navigation Laws of 


France. I have expressed to the ror of the 
French My readiness to submit to Parliament a 


eeions from local charges on Shipping, which 


for the extinction, on equitable terms, of the |. 


















1867. 


are still enjoyed by a limited number of Individuals 
in British Ports; and his Imperial Majesty has, 
in anticipation of this step, already admitted Bri- 
tish Ships to the advantage of the new Law. A 
Bill upon this subject will forthwith be laid before 


ou. 
‘ A Bill will also be submitted to you for making 
better provision for the arrangement of the affairs 
of Railway Companies which are unable to meet 
their engagements. 

Measures will be submitted to you for improv- 
ing the management of Sick and other Poor in the 

etropolis, and for a redistribution of some of the 
charges for Relief therein. 

Your attention will also be called to the Amend- 
ment of the Law of Bankruptcy; to the Consoli- 
dation of the Courts of Probate and Divorce and 
Admiralty ; and to the means of disposing, with 

eater despatch and frequency, of the increasing 

usiness in the Superior Courts of Common Law, 
and at the Assizes. 

The relations between Landlord and Tenant in 
Ireland have engaged My anxious attention, and 
a Bill will be laid before you which, without in- 
terfering with the rights of property, will offer 
direct encouragement to Occupiers of Land to im- 
prove their holdings, and provide a simple mode of 
obtaining compensation for permanent improve- 


| ments. 


I commend to your careful consideration these 
and other measures which will be brought before 
you, and I pray that your labours may, under 
the blessing of Providence, conduce to the pros- 
on of the Country, and the happiness of My 

eople. 


Resolved, That an humble Address be presented Resolution for 
to Her Majesty, to convey the thanks of this Address.

Prussia, Austria, and Italy have been engaged 
may tend to the establishment of durable Peace in 
Europe: ; 

We assure Your Majesty that we learn with 
satisfaction that Your Majesty has suggested to 
the Government of the United States a mode by 
which the questions now pending between the two 
Countries, arising out of the late Civil War, may 
receive an amicable solution, and which, if met, as 
Your Majesty trusts it will be, in a corresponding 
spirit, will remove all grounds of possible mis- 
understanding, and promote relations of cordial 
friendship : 

We humbly express to Your Majesty our _ 
ticipation in Tee Majesty’s regret that the War 
between Spain and the Republics of Chili and 
Peru still continues, and that the good offices of 
Your Majesty’s Government, in conjunction with 
that of the Emperor of the French, should have 
failed to effect a reconciliation; and to assure 
Your Majesty that it will be a cause of satisfaction 
to us if, either by agreement between the Parties 
themselves, or by the mediation of any other 
Friendly Power, Peace should be restored : 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
discontent, prevailing in some Provinces of the 
Turkish Empire, has broken out in actual insur- 
rection in Crete; and that, in common with Your 
Majesty’s Allies, the Emperor of the French and 
the Emperor of Russia, Your Majesty has abstained 
from any active interference in those internal dis- 
turbances; but that the efforts of Your Majesty 
and Your Allies have been directed to bringing 
about such improved relations between the Porte 
and its Christian Subjects as are not inconsistent 
with the Sovereign Rights of the Sultan: 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
the protracted negotiations, which arose out of the 
acceptance by Prince Charles of Hohenzollern of 
the Government of the Danubian Principalities, 
have been happily terminated by an arrangement 
to which the Porte has given its ready adhesion, 
and which has been sanctioned by the concurrence 
of all the Powers, signataries of the Treaty of 1856. 

We humbly convey our thanks to Your Majesty 
for informing us that Resolutions in favour of a 
more intimate Union of the Provinces of Canada, 
Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick have been passed 
by the several Legislatures, and that Delegates, 
duly authorized, and representing all classes of 
Colonial party and opinion, have concurred in the 
conditions upon which such an Union may be best 
effected ; “ane assure Your Majesty that we will 

ive our most careful attention to the Bill which, 
in accordance with the wishes of those Colonies, 
Your ee has directed to be submitted to us, 
and which, by the consolidation of Colonial inte- 
rests and resources, will, we trust, give strength 
to the several Provinces as members of the same © 


Empire, and animated by feelings of loyalty to the 
same Sovereign : 

We assure Your Majesty that we have heard 
with deep sorrow that the calamity of Famine has 


eavily on Your Majesty’s Subjects in 





pressed

some parts of India; and to thank Your Majesty 
for informing us that instructions were issued to 
Your Majesty’s Government in that Country to 
make the utmost exertions to mitigate the distress 
which prevailed during the autumn of last year, 
and that the blessing of an abyndant harvest has 
since that time materially improved the condition 
of the suffering districts : 

We humbly assure your Majesty that we have 
observed with deep concern that the persevering 
efforts and unscrupulous assertions of treasonable 
Conspirators abroad have during the last autumn 
excited the hopes of some disaffected persons in 
Ireland, and the apprehensions of the loyal popu- 
lation; but that we learn with the greatest satis- 
faction that the firm, yet temperate, exercise of 
the powers entrusted to the Executive, and the 
hostility manifested against the Conspiracy by men 
of all classes and creeds, have greatly tended to 
restore public confidence, and rendered hopeless 
any attempt to disturb the general tranquillity ; 
and that with Your Majesty, we trust that we may 
consequently be enabled to dispense with the con- 
tinuance of any exceptional Legislation for that 
part of Your Majesty’s Dominions: 

We assure Your Majesty that, with You, we join 
in acknowledging, with deep gratitude to Almighty 
God, the great decrease which has taken place in 
the Cholera, and in the Pestilence which has at- 
tacked our Cattle; and that we regret that the 
continued prevalence of the latter in some Foreign 
Countries, and its occasional re-appearance in this, 
will still render necessary some special measures 
of precaution; but that we trust that the visita- 
tion of the former will lead to increased attention 
to those sanitary measures which experience has 
shown to be its best preventive : 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that, 
estimating as of the highest importance an adequate 
supply o = and wholesome Water, Your Ma- 
jesty has directed the issue of a Commission to 
inquire into the best means of permanently securing 
such a supply for the ane and for the 
—— towns in densely peopled districts of the 

ingdom : 

e humbly thank Your Majesty for having di- 
rected that the Estimates of the ensuing year shall 
be laid before us, and for having caused them to 
be prepared with a due regard to economy, and 
to the maintenance of amy in the Public 
Service; and we assure Your Majesty that we 
will cheerfully consider any proposal for a mo- 
derate Expenditure, calculated to improve the 
condition of Your Majesty’s Soldiers, and to 
lay. the foundation of an efficient Army of Re- 
serve : 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
our attention will again be called to the state of 
the Representation of the People in Parliament; 
and, with Your Majesty,. humbly express our 
hope that our deliberations, conducted in a spirit 
of moderation and mutual forbearance, may lead to 
the adoption of measures which, without — 
disturbing the Balance of Political Power, shall 
freely extend the Elective Franchise : 

e humbly express our thanks to Your Ma- 
jesty for informing us that the frequent occurrence 
of disagreements between Employers of Labour 
and their Workmen, causing much private suffer- 
ing and public loss, and occasionally leading, as is 
alleged, to acts of outrage and violence, has in- 
duced Your Majesty to issue a Commission to 
inquire into and report upon the organization of 
Trades’ Unions and other Associations, whether 
of Workmen or Employers, with power to suggest 

"any improvement of the Law for their mutual bene- 
fit, and we assure Your Majesty that any application 
which shall be made to us for Parliamentary Powers, 
necessary to make this inquiry effective, shall re- 
céive our earnest attention : -

dation of the Courts of Probate and Divorce and

and at the Assizes : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that the relations between Landlord and Tenant

Your Majesty; and that a Bill will be laid before

of Land to improve their holdings, and provide a 
simple mode of obtaining compensation for per-

And a Motion being made, and the Question 
being proposed, That Mr. Speaker do now leave 
the Chair; 

An Amendment was proposed to be made to the 
Question, by leaving out from the word “ That” to 
the end of the Question, in order to add the words 
* it is the opinion of this House that, with a view 
* of affording to Irish Railways the full relief con- 
“templated by the Act of last Session, intituled, 
« ¢ The Railway Companies (Jreland) Temporary 
* Advances Act, 1866,’ it is expedient, under ex- 
‘isting circumstances, that the Lords Commis- 
* sioners of Her Majesty’s Treasury should exercise 
“‘ the Powers conferred on them under the fourth 
“section, by directing that the period within 
“which temporary advances should be made be 
“ extended to the maximum period allowed by the 
*« Act,” instead thereof. 

And the Question being proposed, That the 
words proposed to be left out stand part of the 
Question :—The said proposed Amendment was, 
with leave of the House, withdrawn. 

Another Amendment was proposed to be made 
to the Question, by leaving out from the word 
“ That” to the end of the Question, in order to 
add the words “ this House, reserving for future 
** consideration, when requisite, the question of 
“ the exigencies of a state of war, is of opinion that 
* itis unnecessary that the punishment of Flogging 
* should be awarded during the time of peace to 
Soldiers of the Army or Corps of Royal Marines 
“ serving on shore,” instead thereof. 

And the Question being put, That the words 
proposed to be left out stand part of the Question ; 

The House divided. 

The Yeas to the Right ; 

The Noes to the Left. 


Tellers for the Yeas, yen Noes? lor, } 107.

So it passed in the Negative. 

And the Question being put, That the words 
“this House, reserving for future consideration,

“ a state of war, is of opinion that it is unneces- 
*‘ sary that the punishment of Flogging should be 
“ awarded during the time of peace to Soldiers of 
“ the Army or Corps of Royal Marines serving on 
“‘ shore,” be added instead thereof :—It was re- 
solved in the Affirmative. 

Then the Main Question, so amended, being 

ut; 

Resolved, That this House, reserving for future 
consideration, when requisite, the question of the 
exigencies ef a state of war, is of opinion that it 
is unnecessary that the punishment of Flogging

Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen reported from the Sale of Land 
Committee appointed to draw up Reasons to be Bull [Lorde.] 
assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to the ~ ’ 
Amendment made by their Lordships to the 
Amendments made by this House to the Sale of 
Land by Auction Bill; That they had drawn up 
Reasons accordingly, which they had directed 
him to report to the House; and the same were 
read, as follow: 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment made 
by the Lords, for the following Reasons: 

Because, inasmuch as many persons selling pro- 
perty are unable to judge what may be the proper 
price to reserve at a sale, it is but just that they 
should be at liberty to leave to the discretion of 
another person, in whom they have confidence, the 
power of deciding at the sale whether the property 
shall be sold or not at any particular bid : 

1. Since there is no possibility of preventing 
the common occurrence of a combination of 
buyers against a seller with a view to the 
purchase of the property offered for sale at 
a depreciated price, it is just and right that 
the seller should be allowed that amount of 
self-protection which is afforded by per- 
mitting him, or some one person on his 
behalf, to bid without restriction at the 
auction, provided that his intention to bid 
has been announced in the conditions of 
sale. 

2. It may happen thatthe seller has undervalued 
his land, and during the progress of the 
auction may see reason to believe that it is 
desirable to fix a reserved price higher than 
that at first intended by him, and that to 
prevent his altering such reserved price 
would be unjust and unreasonable. 

3. If the seller deemed it right to bid beyond 
his first-intended reserved price, he would 
do so at his own risk, and incur the danger 
of preventing the sale of his property, which 
would prevent his so bidding, unless for 

ood and sufficient reasons. 

4, Under the Clause as amended by the Lords, 
the only manner in which the seller could 
alter the reserved price, if he desired so to 
do, would be by withdrawing the property 
from the auction altogether, and again in- 
curring all the expenses contingent upon a 
fresh auction. 

5. The provision that the seller or his agent 
shall not bid beyond “ the sum named by 
the seller as that below which he does not 
intend to sell his land,” would lead sellers to 
protect themselves by naming a much larger 
sum than that which they are willing to 
take, so that the provision, which, if opera- 
tive, would unfairly prejudice the seller, 
would be rendered practically inoperative 
by his natural and legitimate care to pro- 
tect himself from its consequences. 

6. In the case of sales by auction and other 
ordinary transactions of life, minute regu- 
lations as to the details of such transactions 
are vexatious and unnecessary, and the 
arrangement of details may be safely left 
to those whose daily occupation itis to con- 
duct such transactions. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, 

were agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords 

to communicate the said Reasons (with the Bill 
and Amendments): And that the Clerk do carry 





the same.

refers only to the Town of Hastings, which

amend the provisions of a previous Act of 
Parliament, which also is not referred to in

Because the Clause would prejudicially affect 
the interest of parties aa if the ordinary 
course of proceeding in respect to Bills of 
this nature had been pursued, would have 
had notice of the proposed enactment, and 
might have claimed to be heard before a 
Select Committee in o position thereto.

and Amendments): And that the Clerk do carry

Sir Roundell Palmer reported from the Com- 
mittee appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned 
to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of the 
Amendments made by their Lordships to the Re- 
presentation of the People Bill; That they had 
drawn up Reasons accordingly, which they had 
directed him to report to the House; and the same 
were read, as follow: 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments 
made by the Lords in p. 2, ls. 11 and 12, for the 
following Reasons: 

Because these Amendments alter the defi- 
nition of rating for the purpose of this Bill, 
which had been sent from the Commons in 
the same terms as that in the Reform Act 
(2 Will. 4. cap. 45). 

And Because such alteration is introductory 
to a fresh interpretation of the term ‘‘ Poor 
Rate” inserted by the Lords in Clause 55, 
with which the Commons have disagreed. 


The Commons disagree to the Amendment 
made by the Lords in p. 2, 1. 29, for the following 
Reason : 

Because the apparent object and effect of 
the words added by the Lords is to alter the 
definition of a lodger entitled to the franchise 
under Clause 4 of the Bill for the purpose of 
admitting persons resident in Colleges and 
Halls within the Universities of Oxford and 
Cambridge to such franchise, who ought not 
to be so admitted, unless they would, with- 
out the addition of these words, be entitled 
thereto. 

The Commons disagree to the omission of 
Clause 5, for the following Reasons: 

Because all the franchises conferred by the 
Reform Act, 2 Will. 4, c. 45, with the excep- 
tion of those given to copyholders and lease- 
holders, have been ra Wa 

Because persons possessed of Freehold Pro- 
perty of the clear annual value of Forty shil- 
lings are entitled to the franchise. 

Rigenes Copyhold Property, and property 
let on leases of long duration, are, from the 
security of the title and the facility of the 
means of transfer, in some respects preferable 
to Freehold Property, and present a like cha- 
racter of solid and substantial interest. 

Because persons possessed of Copyhold and 


Leasehold Property of the clear annual value 
of Five pounds are 
have a voice in the 
Parliament.

31 Vicroria. 


Because, inasmuch as the provisions of this 
Bill tend on the one hand to increase largely 
the voters by the occupation franchise in 
Counties, and on the other hand to diminish 
the Voters by proprietary interest, it is ex- 
pedient that by all fit methods the number 
of such last-mentioned Voters should be in- 
creased, 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 3, Is. 26 and 27, for the Reasons first above 

iven for disagreeing to the Amendments in p. 2, 
s. 11 and 12, 

The Commons disagree to Clauses C., D., E., 
and F., for the following Reasons: 

Because it is not desirable to depart from 
the law and usage of this Realm, hitherto 
established, which require that all Voters for 
Counties and Boroughs shall appear per- 
sonally, at a fixed time and place, in order to 
record their votes. 

Because the use of Voting Papers at Elec- 
tions for Counties and Boroughs, in the 
manner proposed by the Lords’ Amendments, 
would facilitate undue influence, and other 
corrupt practices, at such Elections. 

The Commons disagree to the first Amendment 
in p. 16, 1. 41 (such Amendment being to leave 
out the word “ corruptly”), for the following 
Reason : 

Because the omission of the word “ cor- 
ruptly” in this place might tend to bring 
into question the legality of arrangements 
bond fide made between landlord and tenant 
for the payment of the tenant’s rates by the 


landlord, and the added words “ thereby to! 


influence his Vote at any future Election” 
are too vague and indefinite to preclude such 
questions, unless the word “ corruptly” be 
retained, although they are proper to qualify 
and to explain the meaning of that word. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p. 18, 1. 35, for the following Reasons: 

Because the words added by the Lords at 
the end of Clause 54 might be held to be de- 
claratory or indicative of an express inten- 
tion on the part of the Legislature, by the 
terms of the enfranchising Clauses of the Bill, 
to confer the power of voting at Elections for 
the City of Oxford and Borough of Cambridge 
be yr Residents within the Colleges and Halls 
of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, 
who were excluded by the 78th Section of the 
Reform Act (2 Will. 4, cap. 45) from voting 
at such Elections by virtue of that Act. 

And Because itis not expedient to alter or 
interfere with the operation and effect which 
the 78th Section of the Act (2 Will. 4, cap. 45) 
might have after the passing of this Bill if the 
same should become law without the addition 
of this Amendment. 

The Commons propose to amend Clause M. by 
inserting in ]. 2, after the word “ event” the words 
** of a vacancy in the representation of any con- 
“ stituency or,” and after the word “and” the words 
“a writ or,” and by leaving out in 1. 4 the word 
“a” and inserting the words “ the present or 
“any,” and by leaving out inl. 5 the word “ such” 
and inserting the word “ each.” 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 19, 1. 19, for the following Reasons : 

Because it is not necessary for the present 
Voters either to be rated to or to .pay “a 
Borough Rate or County Rate, levied as a 
separate rate, and not paid out of the Poor 
Rate,” in order to obtain the franchise. 

Because this Amendment would make it 
necessary for the new Voters to have been 
a to, and to pay, such Borough or County 

ate. ' 

Because it is undesirable to impose different 
VoL, 122. 


Oth A “gust.

and more stringent conditions upon the new 
Voters than upon the present Voters. 

And Becanse this Amendment would need- 
lessly interfere with compositions of such Bo- 
rough and County Rates, and, in cases in which 
such rates are not collected by the overseers, 
would prevent the overseers making out a 
list of persons in arrear of rates, in compliance 
with Clause 27. 

The Commons disagree to Schedule F., added 
by the Lords to the Bill, for the Reasons stated 
for disagreeing to Clauses C., D., E., and F. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
p- 29, 1. 20, and in p. 31, 1. 21, such Amendments 
being rendered unnecessary by the disagreement of 
the Commons to Schedule F., added by the Lords. 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 
agree to all the Amendments made by the Lords. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, 
were agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords 
to communicate the said Reasons (with the Bill 
and Amendments): And that the Clerk do carry 


the same. 


Ordered, That the Select Committee on the Woodhouse 
Woodhouse Collection have Power to report their “ollection. 
Observations thereupon to the House, together No, 521, 
with the Minutes of the Evidence taken before 
them. 

_ Mr. Cardwell reported from the said Committee ; 
That they had considered the matters to them re-

to the House, together with the Minutes of the 
Evidence taken before them, and an Appendix. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table;

ment, by the Lord High Chancellor, in pursuance 
of Her Majesty’s Commands, as followeth:— 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


Iam happy to be enabled to release you from 
the labours of a long and more than usually event- 
ful Session, and to offer you my acknowledgments 
for the successful diligence with which you have 
applied yourselves to your Parliamentary duties. 

My relations with Foreign Countries continue 
on a friendly footing. 

At the commencement of the present year great 
fears were entertained that differences which had 
arisen between France and Prussia might have led 
to a war of which it was impossible to foresee the 
ultimate result. Happily the advice tendered by 
My Government, and by those of the other Neu- 
tral: States, aided by the moderation of the two 
Powers chiefly interested, sufficed to avert the 
threatened calamity; and I trust that no ground 
at present exists for apprehending any disturbance 
of the general peace. 

The communications which I have made to the 
reigning Monarch of Abyssinia, with a view to 
obtain the release of the British Subjects whom he 
detains in his dominions, have, I regret to say, thus 
far proved ineffectual. I have, therefore, found it 
necessary to address to him a peremptory demand 
for their immediate liberation, and to take measures 
for supporting that demand, should it ultimately 
be found necessary to resort to force. 

The treasonable conspiracy in Jreland, to which 
I have before called your attention, broke out in 
the early part of the present year in a futile attempt 
at insurrection. That it was suppressed, almost 
without bloodshed, is due not more to the dis- 
ciplined valour of My troops, and to the admirable 
conduct of the police, than to the general loyalty 
of the population and the absence of any token of 
sympathy with the insurgents on the part of any 
considerable portion of My Subjects. I rejoice 
that the supremacy of the Law was vindicated 
without imposing on Me the painful necessity of 
sacrificing a single life. 

The Bill for the abolition of certain local exemp- 
tions from Taxation enabled me to avail myself of 
a liberal Concession made, in anticipation, by the 
Emperor of the French, whereby several Taxes 
were removed which pressed heavily upon British 
Shipping. 

I have concluded a Postal Convention with the 
United States of America, whereby the rate of 
postage between the two Countries will be dimi- 
nished by one-half, and further arrangements are 
in progress for increasing the intercourse between 
this Country and the Continent of North America. 

The Act for the Union of the British North 
American Provinces is the final accomplishment 
of a scheme long contemplated, whereby those 
Colonies, now combined in one Dominion, may be 
expected not only to gain additional strength for 
the purposes of defence against external aggression, 
but may be united among themselves by fresh - 

oO 








$1 Vicroria. 


of mutual interest, and attached to the Mother 
Country by the only bonds which can effectually 
secure such important Dependencies, those of 
loyalty to the Crown and attachment to British 
connection. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I thank you for the liberal Supplies which you 
have voted for the Public Service. 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


T have had great satisfaction in giving My assent 
to a Bill for amending the Representation of the 
People in Parliament. I earnestly trust that the 
extensive and liberal Measure which you have 
passed may effect a durable settlement of a ques- 
tion which has long engaged public attention; and 
that the large number of My Subjects who will be 
for the first time admitted to the exercise of the 
Elective Franchise may, in the discharge of the 
duties thereby devolved upon them, prove them- 
selves worthy of the confidence which Parliament 
has reposed in them. 

It is gratifying to Me to find that the lengthened 
consideration which you have necessarily given to 
this important question has not prevented your 
entering on many subjects to which your attention 
was directed at the commencement of the Session, 
and particularly to such ashave immediate reference 
to the well-being of the Industrial Classes. 

I have had especial pleasure in giving My assent 
to Bills for extending to various Trades, with 
such modifications as have been found necessary, 
the provisions of the Factory Acts, the success 
of which has proved the possibility of combining 
effectual protection to the labour of Women and 
Children with a due consideration for the interests 
of the Trades immediately concerned. 

I confidently anticipate from the operation of 
the present Acts the same improvement in the 

hysical, social, and moral condition of the Work- 
ing Classes, which has been found to accompany 
the application of the Acts to those Trades to 
which they have been hitherto confined. 

The restraints alleged to be imposed on Work- 
men and their Employers by Trades Unions and 
other Associations appeared to Me to call for 
inquiry ; and the revelations derived from the Exa- 
minations before the Commission, to which you 
gave your Legislative sanction, have disclosed a 
state of things which will demand your most earnest 
attention. 

The Administration of the Poor Laws, which 
generally has conferred great benefit on the Com- 
munity, and especially on the Poor themselves, 
requires constant supervision ; and I have readily 
assented to a Bill which, applied to the Metropolis 
alone, will tend to equalise the pressure of Taxation, 
and improve the treatment of the Sick Poor, whose 
condition will be greatly benefited by your well- 
considered Legislation. 


Qist August.—4th November. 

















471 


The Bill for the regulation of the Merchant 
Shipping contains important provisions calculated 
to add to the health and comfort of those engaged 
in the Mercantile Marine. 

These and other valuable Amendments of the 
Law have been the result of your labours during 
the present Session; and in returning to your 
homes you will carry with you the gratifying con- 
sciousness that your time and pains have not been 
misapplied, and that they have resulted in a series 
of Measures which I hope, and earnestly pray, may 
contribute to the welfare of the Country, and the 
contentment and happiness of My People. 


Then a Commission for proroguing the Parlia- 
ment was read. 


After which the Lord Chancellor said: 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 

By virtue of Her Majesty’s Commission, under 
the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, 
and now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and 
in obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this 
Parliament to Wednesday the 6th day of November 
next, to be then here holden; and this Parliament 
is accordingly prorogued to Wednesday the 6th day 
of November next.
