statement we have not much to add, The Duchess of Ken: accomplished a great deal with very limited means, The

Duke died deeply in debt; she gave up all his property to

ite creditors } she was without furniture or outhc; she had

only her joiuture of £6000 a-year ; and through some defect |

in the Act of Parliament she could oot touch even this scanty} Ans Lean, but the report as appears in this published report, con- |

provision for months alter the Duke's death. Her chief sup- |

ort and adviser amid these trials was her brother, Prince | jeopold, who allowed her an additional £5000 a-year out) of his income. Nor did he take away this allowance when. |

Throne. It was not, indeed, stopped until 1851, when the} House of Commons saw the propriety of giving the Da chess |

of Kent another £10,000 a-year. The re=son of our espe- cially referring to this gradual inerease of ineome is not merely to show the ob. gations of our Sovereign to the mos: astute member of the Coburg family—the peeuniary being but an index of the moral influence exerted by Prince Leo-

Id —but also that we may point out the increasing coufi- dence of the Houses of Parliament in the Duchess of Kent. Qo each occasion the cxpressions of regard which the men- tion of her name called forih must have deeply affected her. In these days of feeble partisanship there is one part of her boast which will searcely be understood. She could boas: of having kept aloof from party ; and, combivel with this freedom from party bias, the wisdom with which she had trained ber daughter obtained for her a recognition of the highes. value in 1850. It was necessary to determine who should be Regent in the event of King William's decease during the m nority of the Princess Victoria. Is was decreed

in Parliament that in thot case the Duche-s of Kent—s | comparative stranger. vho had lived among us not more than |

adezen years—should be sole regent. ‘Tuat wasa rare

compliment. In point of fact, King William died but one |

month after the Princess Victoria had attained her majority. Had he died bat a few wecks earlier, we should now be la. menting not merely the mother of our Queen, but one who had herself exercised the sovereign power in these islands,

wards; and I was engaged in looking round to sce who bad voted for and against the motion, when the Hen. Mr. Whelan moved an amend. ment to the folowing paragraph which was in connection with the for. mer; he made a few remarks, which [ did not fully take nvtice of. So far as Lean remember, during the time the Hon. Mr. Whelan was read- ing bis amendinent, [ turaed to complete taking dowa the names in the division ow the former ammendment; while engaged in that aud after be had wade his few remarks, aod thinking the Llouse would not enter into | discussion on that puint as it was discussed in connection with the other; the Hon. Mr. Coles rose, and not thinking probably bis remarks would be of any consequence at that late hour, | bad not preceeded to take down his speeca uatil he was fiirly unier way, and made sowe of the

| most offensive expressions. In hia speech [ noticed ne fell into some | | remarks about misstatements in despitehes. I continued theu taking down notes. I gave the substance. [ believe he used other expressions |

stronger than [ bad in my notes. Ovserviag that they were strong ex- pressions, [ did not consider it advisable tu pat them down, as I bad them not in my notes, thiaking probably there would be a question sbout

| Ques 5. State as nearly as you can recollect, the offensive language

to wuish you refer as uttered by the Hon Mr. Coles on that occasion !

Ans. IL can seare+ly give evidence from mere resollection; as [said I was engaged part of the time, aud do not feel inclined to give evidence from mere recollection.

Ques. 6. From your recollection, were the offensive words used by the Hon. Mr. Coles aud referred to by you, a personal charge against the Lieutenaut Govervur, or vtherwise 3

Ans As an opinion, L consider the words reported here gre person.

Aus, Subsequenily there was, but I do net consider that does away

Ques. 7. Was there no qualification made by the Hon. Mr. Coles to

taken to procure the Royal assent tu the Land Commission

| Bill, and that when such’a despateh was written, it was nof ‘necessary to seud home the Bill until the month of October,

‘although it was passed on the first of May. Cul. Gray ap- | proved of the despateh on that occasion. Now it suite th. | purposes of his colleagues to deny any participation in the | production of it. There is, certainly, something very small ‘in their conduct in reference to this matter.

*¢ Government House, Apri 6th, 1861. ‘*Strn—In the Journal of the Mouse of Assembly for Apri! 34, lL observe a Resolution of the House attributing to the Hon. George Cules, a member of that Louse, langaage of an extra- ordinary character. From this Resolution it appears that on

the 26th February last, Mr. Coles, in bis place in the iivuse |

of Assembly, spoke as follows :-—

“+ What shall we say when we find Her Majesty's Repre- sentative descending from bis high position and deyrading his commission by penn ng a falsehood ; in plain Enzlish, writing a lie to the Seeretary of State, and allowing himself to be

| instigated thereto by his constitutional advisers.’

| ‘These expressions have reference to my official corres- yondence with the Colonial Minister, on the 30th April, 1850. | Lt xs far from iny desire to interfere, in the slightest deg ee, ' with that freedom of speech which s the undoubted privilege ot Members in the Llouse of Assembly ; still, I cannot, in

with the personality of it; the statement stands by itself; every state- | justice to myself amd my Government, of whieh you are the

} ment stands by itscif.

| Qees. 8 How long subsequently ? Wag not the qualification refer-

It hung upon one sma | turo in the wheel of fortune. As| red te made in the same specca ?

Regeut, however, she could only bave been formally, as she

was resily, the guide aud guardian of the Queen. Although | Ques 9. Was the letter dated “ Protestant Office, March 4th,” a | the 26th and 27

her influeace of this kind remained, she, of course, ceased to exert it in 1837, when the Ministers of the Crown became | her Majesty’s advisers, and sti!l more so in 1840, when she, saw her daughter given away in marriago to her nephew. | Taen her task was fivished. She had done her duty. and! heneeforward she had but to live and reap the reward. That reward she fouod in the respect of the people, in the affection | of a devoted family, and in the triumph of her most ardent wishes for their success. ’ - ~~ +02 -
