taking a bribe at the said Election of 1868. 

That upon the evidence before me it does not 
appear that corrupt practices have, nor is there 
reason to believe that they have extensively pre- 
vailed at the said Elections of 1870 or 1868. 

The prayer in the Petition that John Walter 
Huddleston should be declared to have been duly 
elected for the City of Norwich at the said Elec- 
tion held in 1870 was abandoned by the Petitioner, 
and no Evidence was given before me in support 
of the said Prayer. 

Given under my hand, this 14th day of January 
1871. o

And the said Certificates and Reports were 
ordered to be entered in the Journals of this 
House. 


Ordered, That Mr. Speaker do issue his War- Galway 

rant to the Clerk of the Crown in Jreland, to make County Writ. 

out a new Writ for the electing of a Knight of the 

Shire to serve in this present Parliament for the 

County of Galway, in the room of Hubert de 

Burgh Canning, commonly called Viscount Burke, 

who, since his Election for the said County, hath 

accepted the Office of Steward or Bailiff of Her 

Majesty’s Three Chiltern Hundreds of Stoke, Des- Mel 
borough, and Bonenham, in the County of Buck- Poli 





of Common Pleas on behalf of the said Petitioner, 
complaining that the said Jacob Henry Tillett at 
an Election holden at the City of Norwich, on the 


12th of Juiy 1870, had been returned as a Mem- | 


ber to serve in Parliament for the said City, and 
praying that it might be determined that the said 
Jacob Henry Tillett was not duly elected, and that 
the said Election was a void Election, on the 


ground that the said Jucob Henry Tillett had by | 


himself and his agents been guilty of bribery and 
other corrupt practices, not only at the said Elec- 
tion, but also asa candidate at a former Election 
holden for the said City, in the month of Novem- 
ber 1868; and further praying that John Walter 


1870, should be declared to have been duly 
elected, and ought to have been returned. 

Now I, Sir Henry Singer Keating, one of the 
Judges on the rota for the trial of Election Peti- 
tions in England, having, according to the Par- 
liamentary Elections Act, 1868, tried the said Pe- 
tition, and determined the same, do hereby certify 
and report such determination as follows : 

That the said Jacob Henry Tillett was not duly 
returned or elected to serve in Parliament for the 
said City of Norwich. 

That the Election of the said Jacob Henry Tillett 
for the City of Norwich was a void Election. 

That no corrupt practice was proved to have 
been committed by or with the havatiiliee and 
consent of the said Jacob Henry Tillett at either of 
the said Elections held in 1870 or 1868. 

That no corrupt practice was proved to have 
been committed by or on behalf of any candidate 
at the said Election held in 1870 last. 

That the said Jacob Henry Tillett was at the 
said Election held in 1868 by his agents guilty of 
bribery, and thereby became disqualified as a can- 
didate to be returned or elected to serve in Parlia- 
ment for the City of Norwich, at the Election held 
for the said City in July 1870. 

That, Orlando Dennis Ray, who was reported 
guilty of bribery by the Commissioners who sat at 
Norwich in 1869 and 1870, to inquire into corrupt 
practices at the said Election for the said City in 
1868, was guilty of bribery at the said Election of 
1868 in respect of acts not disclosed to or reported 
on by the said Commissioners.

Peers, when Her Majesty was pleased to make, by 
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, 

At an epoch of such moment to the future for- 
tunes of Europe, I am especially desirous to avail 
Myself of your counsels. 

The war which broke out, in the month of July, 
between France and Germany, has raged, until 
within the last few days, with unintermitted and like- 
wise with unexampled force ; and its ravages may 
be renewed, after but a few days more, unless 
moderation and forethought, prevailing over all 
impediments, shall sway the Coanaiin of both the 
parties, whose well-being is so vitally concerned. 

At the time when you separated, I promised a 
constant attention to the subject of neutral obliga- 
tions ; and I undertook to use My best endeavours 
to prevent the enlargement of the area of the war, 
and to contribute, if opportunity should offer, 

VoL. 126.

to the restoration of an early and honourable 
peace. 

In accordance with the first of these declara- 
tions, I have maintained the rights and strictly 
discharged the duties of neutrality. 

The sphere of the war has not been extended 
beyond the two countries originally engaged. 

Cherishing with care the cordiality of My re- 
lations with each belligerent, I have forborne from 
whatever might have been construed as gratuitous or 
unwarranted interference between parties, neither 
of whom had shown a readiness to propose terms of 
accommodation such as to bear promise ‘of accept- 
ance by the other. 

I have been enabled, on more than one occasion, 
to contribute towards placing the Representatives 
of the two contending countries in confidential 
communication ; but, until famine compelled the 
surrender of Paris, no further result had been 
obtained. 

The Armistice now being employed for the Con- 
vocation of an Assembly in France has brought 
about a pause in the constant accumulation, on 
both sides, of human suffering, and has rekindled 
the hope of a complete accommodation.. I pray 
that this suspension may result in a peace com- 
patible, for the two great and brave nations 
involved, with security and with honour, and 
likely therefore to command the approval of 
Europe, and to give reasonable hopes of a long du- 
ration. 

It has been with concern that I have found My- 
self unable to accredit My Ambassador in a formal 
manner to the Government of Defence, which has 
subsisted in France since the revolution of Sep- 
tember ; but neither the harmony nor the efficiency 


‘of the correspondence of the two States has been 


in the smallest degree impaired. 

The King of Prussia has accepted the title of 
Emperor of Germany at the instance of the chief 
authorities of the nation. 

I have offered My congratulations on an event 
which bears testimony to the solidity and inde- 
pendence of Germany, and which, I trust, may be 
found conducive to the stability of the European 
system. 

I have endeavoured, in correspondence with 
other Powers of Europe, to uphold the sanctity of 
Treaties, and to removeany misapprehensions as 
to the binding character of their obligations. 

It was agreed by the Powers, which had been 
parties to the Treaty of 1856, that a Conference 
should meet in London. This Conference has now 
been for some time engaged in its labours; and I 
confidently trust that the result of its deliberations 
will be to uphold both the principles of public 
right and the general policy of the Treaty: and, 
at the same time, by the revision of some of its 
conditions in a fair and conciliatory spirit, to ex- 
hibit a cordial co-operation among the Powers 
with regard to the Levant. 

I greatly regret that my earnest efforts have 
failed to procure the presence at the Conference 
of any Representative of France, which was one 
of the chief parties to the Treaty of 1856, and 
which must ever be regarded as a principal and 
indispensable Member of the great Commonwealth 
of Europe. 

At different times several questions of import- 
ance have arisen, which are not yet adjusted, and 
which materially affect the relations between the 
United States and the territories and people of 
British North America. One of them in parti- 
cular, which concerns the Fisheries, calls for earl 
settlement; lest the possible indiscretion of indi- 
viduals should impair the neighbourly understand- 
ing, which it is on all grounds so desirable to 
cherish and maintain. I have therefore engaged 
in amicable communications with the President of 
the United States. In order to determine the most 


B3 convenient 

















6 


convenient mode of treatment for these matters, 
I have suggested the appointment of a joint Com- 
mission; and I have agreed to a ee of the 
President, that this Commission shall be autho- 
rised at the same time, and in the same manner, 
to resume the consideration of the American 
Claims growing out of the circumstances of the 
late war. This arrangement will, by common 
consent, include all claims for compensation which 
have been, or may be made, by each Government, 
or by its citizens, upon the other. 

The establishment of a Prince of the House of 
Savoy on the Throne of Spain, by the free choice 
of the popularly-elected representatives of the | 
Spanish nation, will, I trust, insure for a country 
which has passed with so much temperance and 
self-control through a prolonged and trying crisis, 
the blessings of a stable Government. 

I am unhappily not able to state that the inquiry 
which was instituted by the Government of Greece 
into the history of the shocking murders per- 
petrated during the last spring at Jilessi has 
reached a termination answerable in all respects to 
My just expectations; but I shall not desist from 
My endeavours to secure the complete attainment 
of the objects of the inquiry. Some valuable re- 
sults, however, have in the meantime been obtained, 
for the exposure and the repression of a lawless 
and corrupting system, which has too long 
afflicted the Greek Peninsula. 

The anxicty, which the massacre at Tien-tsin 
on the 21st of June last called forth, has happily 
been dispelled ; and while it will be My earnest 
endeavour to provide for the security of My sub- 
jects and their trade in those remote quarters, I 
count on your concurrence in the policy that I 
have adopted of recegnising the Chinese Govern- 
ment as entitled to be dealt with in its relations 
with this Country in a conciliatory and forbearing 
spirit. 

Pithe Parliamentary recess has been one of 
anxious interest in regard to Foreign affairs. But 
I rejoice to acquaint you that My relations are, 
as heretofore, those of friendship and good un- 
derstanding with the Sovereigns and States of the 
civilized world.

laying before you a Bill for the better regulation 
of the Army and the auxiliary Land Forces of 
the Crown, and I hardly need commend it to your 
anxious and impartial consideration. 

I trust that the powerful interest at present 
attaching to affairs Abroad, and to military ques- 
tions, will not greatly abate the energy with which 
you have heretofore applied yourselves to the work 
of general improvement in our domestic legis- 
lation. 

I commend anew to your attention several mea- 
sures on subjects which I desired to be brought 
hefore you during the last Session of Parliament. 
but which the time remaining at your disposal, 


\after you had dealt with the principal subjects of 


the year, was not found sufficient to carry to a 
final issue. 

I refer especially to the Bills on Religious 
Tests in the Universities of Ozford and Cambridge, 
on Ecclesiastical Titles, on the Disabilities of 
Trade Combinations, on the Courts of Justice 
and Appeal, on the Adjustment of Local Burdens, 
and on the Licensing of Houses for the Sale of 
Intoxicating Liquors. 

The inquiry made by a Committee of the Com- 
mons House being now complete, a measure will 
be placed before you on an early day for the esta- 
blishment of Secret Voting. 

A proposal is anxiously expected in Scotland 
for the adjustment of the question of Primary 
Education. With reference to the training of 
the young in schools on a national scale and 
basis, that portion of the country has especial 
claims on the favourable consideration of Parlia- 
ment; and I trust the year may not pass by with- 
out your having disposed of this question by the 
enactment of a just and effective Law. 

The condition of Jreland with reference to 
agrarian crime has, in general, afforded a grati- 
fying contrast with the state of that island in the 
preceding winter; but there have been painful 
though very partial exceptions. 

To secure the best results for the geat measures 
of the two last Sessions which have so recentl 
passed into operation, and which involved ou 
direct and pressing claims upon the attention of 
all classes of the community, a period of calm is 








vernment in relation to the several matters on 
which I have now summarily touched, will be duly 
laid before you. 

In turning to domestic affairs, I have first to in-| 
form you that I have approved of a marriage be- 
tween My daughter Princess Louise and the Mar- 
quis of Lurne, and I have declared My consent to 
this union in Council. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


The Revenue of the Country flourishes, and the 
condition of trade and industry may, though with 
partial drawbacks, be declared satisfactory. 

The Estimates for the coming year will be 
promptly laid before you. 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


The lessons of military experience afforded by 
the present war have been numerous and im- 
portant. 

The time appears appropriate for turning such 
lessons to account by efforts more decisive than 
heretofore at senetieadl lntetonpenets In attempt- 
ing this, you will not fail to bear in mind the 
special features in the position of this Country, so 
favourable to the freedom and security ot the 
‘people, and if the changes from a less to a more 
effective and elastic system of defensive military 
preparation shall be found to involve, at least for 
a time, an increase of various charges, your pru- 
dence and patriotism will not grudge the cost, as 
long as you are satisfied that the end is important 
and the means judicious. No time will be lost in 











to be desired ; and I have thought it wise to re- 
frain from suggesting to you at the present junc- 
ture the discussion of any political question likely 
to become the subject of new and serious con- 
troversy in that country. 

The burdens devolving upon you as the great 
Council of the Nation, and of this ancient and 


extended Empire, are, and must long continue to 
| be, weighty. 


But you labour for a country 
whose laws and institutions have stood the test of 
time, and whose people, earnestly attached to 
them, and desiring their continuance, will unite 
with their Sovereign in invoking upon all your 
designs the favour and aid of the Most High. 


Resolved, That an humble Address be presented Resolution for 
pd the thanks of this Address.

House for Her Majesty's ost Gracious Speech

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing

to pay constant attention to the subject of neutral 
obligations, Her Majesty has maintained the

Her Majesty, may, under the influence of modera- 
tion and forethought in the councils of both parties, 
‘shortly be terminated :

the settlement of the several questions of impor-

and in the same manner, to resume the considera-

or Corps, 











Mr. Jolin Hamilton reported from the Committee 
appointed to draw up an Address to be presented 
to Her Majesty, That they had drawn up an Ad- 
dress accordingly ; and the same was read, as 
followeth :— 


Most Gracious Sovereign, 


We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal 
Subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of 
Great Britain and Sreland,in Parliament assembled, 
beg leave to convey to Your Majesty our thanks 
for the gracious Speech which Your Majesty has 
commanded to be made to both Houses of Parlia- 
ment. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that in accordance with Your Majesty’s promise 
to pay constant attention to the subject of neutral 
obligations, Your Majesty has maintained the rights 
and strictly discharged the duties of neutrality 
during the war unhappily prevailing between 
France and Germany, which we trust, with Your 
Majesty, may, under the influence of moderation 
and forethought in the councils of both parties, 
shortly be terminated. 

We thank Your Majesty for endeavouring to 
prevent the enlargement of the area of the war, 
and to contribute to the restoration of an honour- 
able peace, and we assure Your Majesty that we 
rejoice that the sphere of the war has not been 
extended beyond the two countries originally 
engaged. 

Ve humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that Your Majesty has forborne from whatever 
might have been construed as gratuitous or un- 
warranted interference between parties, neither of 
whom had shown a readiness to propose terms of 
accommodation, such as to bear promise of accept- 
ance by the other; and that Your Majesty has 
been enabled, on more than one occasion, to con- 
tribute towards placing the Representatives of the 
two contending countries in confidential communi- 
cation; though, unfortunately, until famine com- 
pelled the surrender of Paris, without any further 
result. 

We humbly unite with Your Majesty in praying 
that the suspension in the constant accumulation 
on both sides of human suffering, which has been 
brought about by the Armistice now being em- 
ployed for the Cenvecntion of an Assembly in 
France, may result in a peace a IE for the 
two great and brave nations involved, with security 


and with honour, and likely therefore to command 
the approval of Europe, and to give reasonable 
hopes of a long duration. 











1871. 


We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that, though Your Majesty has been unable to 

accredit Your Ambassador in a formal manner to 
| the Government of Defence, which has subsisted 
‘in France since the Revolution of September, 
neither the harmony nor the efficiency of the cor- 
een in the 


respondence of the two States has 
smallest degree impaired. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that Your Majesty has offered Tom congratu- 
lations to the King of Prussia on his acceptance 
of the title of Emperor of Germany at the instance 
of the chief authorities of the nation, and we assure 
Your Majesty that, with You, we trust that this 
event, which bears testimony to the solidity and 
independence of Germany, may be found conducive 
to the stability of the European system. 

We thank Your Majesty for endeavouring, in 
correspondence with other Powers of Europe, to 
uphold the sanctity of Treaties, and to remove 
any misapprehension as to the binding character 
of their obligations ; and we assure Your Majesty 
that, with You, we confidently trust that the result 
of the deliberations of the Conference (which it 
was agreed by the Powers, co-signatories of the 
Treaty of 1856, should meet in London, and which 
has now been for some time engaged in its laboars), 
may be to uphold both the principles of public 
right and the general policy of the Treaty, and at 
the same time, by the revision of some of its con- 
ditions in a fair and conciliatory spirit, to exhibit 
a cordial co-operation among the Powers with re- 
gard to the Levant. 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that we share 
in Your regret that Your earnest efforts have failed 
to procure the presence at the Conference of any 
representative of France, which was one of the 
chief parties to the Treaty of 1856, and which 
must ever be regarded as a principal and indis- 
pensable Member of the Commonwealth of Europe. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that Your Majesty has engaged in amicable com- 
munications with the President of the United 
States for the settlement of the several questions 
of importance which are not yet adjusted between 
the United States and the territories and people 
of British North America; and that Your Majesty 
has suggested the appointment of a joint Commis- 
mission, and agreed to the proposal of the Presi- 
dent that this Commission shall be authorised at 
the same time, and in the same manner, to resume 
the consideration of the American Claims growing 
out of the circumstances of the late war. 

We concur with Your Majesty in hoping that 
the establishment of a Prince of the House of Savoy 
on the Throne of Spain, by the free choice of the 
popularly-elected representatives of the Spanish 
nation, will insure for a country, which has passed 
with so much temperance and self-control through 
a prolonged and trying crisis, the blessings of a 
stable Government. 

We join with Your Majesty in regretting that 
the inquiry which was instituted by the Govern- 
ment of Greece into the history of the shocking 
murders perpetrated last spring at Dilesst has not 
reached the termination answerable in all respects 
to Your Majesty’s just expectations; and we thank 
Your Majesty for Your promise not to desist from 
Your endeavours to secure the complete attainment 
of the objects of the inquiry. 

We assure Your Majesty that we learn with 
pleasure that the anxiety, which the massacre at 
Tien-tsin on the 21st of June last called forth, has 
happily been dispelled, and that it has been Your 
Majesty’s earnest endeavour to provide for the 
security of Your subjects and their trade in those 
remote quarters, while recognising the Chinese 
Government as entitled to be dealt with in its rela- 
tions with this Country in a conciliatory and for- 
bearing spirit. 

We

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that, during these critical times, Your relations 
are, as heretofore, those of friendship and good 
understanding with the Sovereigns and States of 
the civilized world; and for directing that Papers 
illustrative of the conduct of Your Majesty’s 
Government in relation to the several matters on 
which Your Majesty has touched, should be duly 
laid before us. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that You have approved of a marriage between 
the Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lorne, 
and we assure Your Majesty that we trust that 
this union may be prosperous and happy. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for acquaint-

That this House will, in future, appoint the Com- 
mittee of Supply and Ways and Means, at the 
commencement of every Session, so soon as an 
Address has been agreed to, in answer to Her

Resolved, That this House will, upon Monday

the Supply to be granted to Her Majesty. 


Order of the House of the 28th day of July 1870, te a _ 


Mr. Secretary Cardwell presented, by Her Ma- Army. 
jesty’s Command,—Army Estimates of Effective No. 5. 
and Non-Effective Services for 1871-72. 

Statement showing the Variation of the Num- Army (Varia- 
bers of Her Majesty’s British Forces, and Expla- on of Num-

ing us that the Revenue of the Country flourishes, 
and that the condition of trade and industry is on 
the whole satisfactory ; and for directing that the 
Estimates for the coming year should be promptly 
laid before us. 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that in review- 










No. 6. 


ing the important lessons of military experience 
afforded by the present war, and in endeavouring 
to turn such lessons to account by efforts more 
decisive than heretofore at practical improvement, 
we shall not fail to bear in mind the special features 
in the position of this Country, so favourable to 
the freedom and security of the people; and if the 
changes from a less to a more effective and elastic 
system of defensive military preparation shall be 
found to involve, at least for a time, an increase 
of various charges, that we shall not grudge the 
cost so long as we are satisfied that the end is im- 
portant and the means judicious. 

We assure Your Majesty that we shall give our 
anxious and impartial consideration to the Bill for 
the better regulation of the Army and the auxiliary 
Land Forces of the Crown, which Your Majesty 
has directed should be laid before us, as well as to 
the work of general improvement in our domestic 
legislation, including the several measures brought 
before us during the last Session of Parliament, 
but which the time remaining at our disposal, 
after we had dealt with the principal subjects of 
the year, was not found sufficient to carry to a 
final issue. 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
the inquiry made by a Committee of this House 
into the question of Secret Voting is now complete, 
and that a measure on that subject will be placed 
before us on an early day; and we join with Your 
Majesty in trusting that the question of Primary 
Education in Scotland may this year be adjusted 
by the enactment of a just and effective Law. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing us 
that the condition of Jreland with reference to 
agrarian crime has, in general, afforded a gratifying 
contrast with the state of that island in the preced- 
ing winter, although there have been painful, but 
very partial, exceptions. 

We humbly concur with Your Majesty in think- 
ing that after the great measures of the two last 
Sessions which have so recently passed into opera- 
tion, and which involve such direct and pressing 
claims on the attention of all classes of the com- 
munity, a period of calm is to be desired; and we 
join with Your Majesty in considering it wise to 
refrain from the discussion of any political question 
likely to become the subject of new and serious 
controversy in that country. 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that we fer- 
vently join in Your Majesty’s prayer that all our 
—— may receive the favour and aid of the Most 
High. 

The said Address being read a second time ; 

Resolved, That this House doth agree with the 
Committee in the said Address to be presented to 
Her Majesty. 

Ordered, That the said Address be presented to 
Her Majesty, by such Members of this House as

VICTORIA R. 

Her Majesty relies upon the cordial interest 
which Her faithful Commons have expressed in the 
approaching marriage between the Princess Louise 
and the Marquis of Lorne. 

The numerous proofs which the Queen has re- 
ceived of their loyalty to Her Throne, and of their 
attachment to Her person and Family, lead Her to 
hope that they will make such a provision for the 
Princess Louise, with a view to the proposed 
marriage, as may be suitable to the dignity of the 
Crown. V.R.

Mr. Winterbotham reported from the Committee 
appointed to draw up Bese to be assigned to 
the Lords, for disagreeing to certain of the Amend- 
ments made by their Lordships to the University 
Tests Bill; That they had drawn up Reasons ac- 
cordingly, which they had directed him to report 
to the House; and the same were read, as follow: 


The Commons disagree to Clause A. inserted 
by the Lords, for the following Reasons : 


I. New Declaration. 

(1.) Because the Declaration, as such, is likely 
to excite the same objections, to a great 
extent, as have been heretofore urged 
against tests of a positive character. 

(2.) Because the particular Declaration, pro- 
posed by the Lords, is couched in terms 
which are themselves, at the present day, 
in a peculiar degree the subject of contro- 
versy, and are thus involved in a practical 
umbiguity which ought to be especially 
avoided in any test or declaration. 

(3.) Because a negative test is wholly ineffective 
for the oo jpes of securing that a religious 
spirit shall preside over the processes of 
education. 


The Commons disagree to the Amendments made 
by the Lords in p. 2, 1. 16; and in page 4, ls. 9, 
10, 1i, for the following Reasons: 

II. Headships. 

(1.) Because the controversy, which it is sought 
to appease by the Bill, is certain to con- 
tinue, if a particular class of offices in the 
Colleges of the University, not essentially 
associated with theological pursuits or ec- 
clesiastical duties, be reserved to persons of 
one religious communion. 

(2.) Because it is little likely that a Head would 
be chosen for a College differing in reli- 
gious profession from the great body of the 
fellows, unless he were a person of remark- 
able claims and qualifications; while, if he 
had such claims and qualifications, or if he 
were in sympathy as to religion with the 
governing body of the College, his exclusion 
would be likely to lead to much jealousy 
and discord. 


The Commons disagree to the Amendment made 
by the Lords in p. 2, 1. 38, for the following Rea- 
sons : 

III. Clerical Fellowships. 


(1.) Because the present arrangements can hardly, 
even by those wko accept their principle, be 
regarded as absolutely satisfactory, or as 
universally or generally of a permanent 
character; and if this be so, it is far from 
desirable to make any change in them de- 
pendent upon surmounting the great diffi- 
culties which beset the process of legislation 
in detail on such subjects. 

(2.) Because machinery has been provided by 
law for the alteration of the Statutes of 
Colleges, which gives reasonable facilities, 
and at the same time affords sufficient gua- 
rantees against precipitate changes: and 
because it is wise to leave the regulation of 
this matter, which is closely mixed up with 
the general administration of College En- 
dowments, to be adjusted from time to time 
by the use of such machinery, rather than 
to require that it shall be brought within 
the reach of varied, and, in many cases, 
accidental influences. 

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

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

Mr. Benham-Carter reported from the Select 
Committee on Standing Orders, a Resolution ; 
which was read, as followeth: 

That, in the case of the Tramways Provisional 
Orders Confirmation Bill (so far as it relates to 
West London Tramways), Petition for additional 
Provision, the Standirg Orders ought to be dis- 
pensed with ; that the parties be permitted to in- 
troduce their additional Provision accordingly, if 
the Committee on the Bill shall think fit, pro- 
vided that proof be adduced that the Board of 
Trade have assented to the proposed extension of 
the West London Tramways; that the Com- 
mittee on the Bill do report how far such Order 
has been complied with on the Report of the 
Bill. 

The said Resolution, being read a second time, 
was agreed to. 


Mr. Cross reported from the Committee on 
Group 12 of Railway Bills; That in the case of 
the London Street Tramways (Kensington, West- 
minster, and City Lines) Bill, in pursuance of the 
Instruction of the House of the 16th May, they 
had inquired whether it is expedient to lay down 
Tramways over the approaches to this House, and 
if so whether they should be subject to any and 
what conditions; that the Committee had not 
thought it expedient to grant the powers sought 
by the Bill for laying down Tramways over the 
immediate approaches to the House, and had 
therefore struck out of the Bill the proposed 
Tramways from the west end of Westminster 
Bridge to Westminster Abbey. The evidence had 
led the Committee to believe that it is expedient 
that Tramways should be laid down over West- 
minster Bridge and along the Thames (Northern) 
Embankment to Whitehall Place, the effect of 
which would be, in the opinion of the Committee, 
greatly to relieve the trattc at the end of Parlia- 
ment Street, and on the immediate approaches to 
the House. The Committee had, however, made 
the construction of Tramways on Westminster 
Bridge subject to the following conditions: (1.) 
That the Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Works 
and Public Buildings may, by order (subject to 
the revision of Parliament), require the Tram- 
ways to be removed if they consider that they 
would interfere with the approaches to the House, 
or impede the public traffic ; and (2.) that no Tram- 
way carriage shall stop for the purpose of taking 
up or setting down passengers on any part of 
Westminster Bridge or its western approaches; 
That they had examined the allegations contained 
in the Preamble of the Bill, and amended the 
same, so as to make it in accordance with the pro- 
visions of the Bill as amended by the Committee, 
and found the same, as amended, to be true; and 
had gone through the Bill, and made Amendments 
thereunto. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table;

Q1st August. 


445 


The great events and important changes, which 
have recently occurred on the Continent of Europe, 
have not compromised the friendly relations sub- 
— between the Crown of the United Kingdom 
and Foreign Powers. Whatever part I may take 
in those international questions, which from time 
to time may arise, will continue to be taken with 
no other view than the maintenance of general 
concord and public right. 

The Conference which was sitting in London at 
the commencement of the Session was joined duri 
its deliberations by a French Plenipotentiary, an 
it considered and agreed upon a revision of those 
stipulations of the Treaty of 1856 which concerned 
the Black Sea and the Bosphorus. I trust that 
the unanimous decision of the Powers, which has 
been recorded in a new Treaty, may assist in 
securing the tranquillity and welfare of the East. 

It is with a special satisfaction that I refer on 
the present occasion to our relations with the 
United States of America. By the Treaty of 
Washington, modes of settlement have been fixed 
for several questions, which had long remained in 


.-~ 

y communications with the American Govern- 
ment have not been without the promise of advan- 
tage to other countries. The President has con- 
curred with me in an application of that principle 
of amicable reference, which was proclaimed by 
the Treaty of Paris, and which I rejoice to have 
had an opportunity of recommending by example. 
And we have also agreed in the adoption of certain 
rules for guiding the maritime conduct of neutrals, 
which may I trust ere long obtain general recog- 
nition, and form a valuable addition to the code of 
| International Law. 

I place full reliance upon the disposition of the 
| American Government to carry forward with 
cordiality and zeal the subsidiary arrangements 

which have been determined on for the execution 
| of the Treaty. 

| I shall apprise the Parliament of Canada that 
'the provisions which require its consent are, in my 
view, highly conducive to the interests of the 
Dominion. On these provisions, however, that 
Parliament will pass an independent and final 
judgment. 

__ The Government of France has signified its 
| desire to alter some of the provisions of the Com- 
'mercial Treaty of 1860, which is now terminable, 
| upon a notice of twelve months, by either of the 
contracting States. I am anxious to meet the 
| wishes of a friendly Power, and to give scope for 


‘any measures calculated to meet its fiscal exi- 


|gencies; but I should witness with concern any 
change of a nature to restrict that commercial 
‘intercourse between the two countries which has 


/ done so much for their closer union. 











Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 
| I thank you for the liberal supplies which, under 


| the circumstances of the year, | directed my Go- 
| vernment to ask from you; and for the sum of 
money you have voted in order to meet the charge 
of the compensations required by the abolition of 


Purchase in the Army. 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


I observe with concern that you have not been 
able to bring to a definitive issue the treatment of 
some of the subjects which were recommended to 
you in the Speech from the Throne at the opening 
of the Session. 

But several important laws have been added to 
the Statute Book. 

By the Army Regulation Bill you have made a 
liberal provision for the Officers of the Army, who 
will no longer be permitted on retirement to sell 
their Commissions to their successors; and by 
transferring to the Executive Government powers 





in 








446 


in respect to the Auxiliary Forces, which have 
hitherto been vested in the Lords Lieutenants of 
Counties, you have laid the ioundation for mea- 
sures ciiealated to effect a closer union among the 
various Land Forces of the Kingdom. 

The Act by which, after a fall examination of 
the facts, you conferred extraordinary powers on 
the Viceroy of Jreland for the repression of agra- 
rian outrage in Westmeath, has thus far answered 
its purpose. Elsewhere in that portion of the 
United Kingdom there is a gratifying immunity 
from crime, and agriculture and trade are pros- 
perous. 

By the measures relating to University Tests, to 
the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, and to 
the laws which affect Trades Unions, you have 
brought to a conclusion long continued and serious 
controversies. 

The Local Government Board Act will, I trust, 
prepare the way for important sanitary and admi- 
nistrative improvements; and the Act relating 
to the Judicial Committee will supply a much 
needed element of strength to an important 
tribunal, and afford a prospect of clearing away a 
serious arrear of appeals now before the Privy 
Council. 


Q1st August. 





1871. 


But there is every likelihood that, for a long 
time to come, the great and varied interests of the 
United Kingdom and of the Empire at large, 
together with the extending demands of modern 
society, may prevent any li inning of the honour- 
able but arduous burdens of legislation. 


The condition of the Revenue, the revived 
activity of Trade, and the prospects of the Harvest, 
are subjects for congratulation; and [ trust that 
these and all other bounties of Providence will 
ever meet their fitting acknowledgment in the 
hearts of a grateful people. 


Then a Commission for proroguing the Parlia- Parliament / 


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 Tuesday the fenth day of No- 
vember next, to be then here holden; and this 
Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday 
the Seventh day of November next.
