(Ch.

X, 'The English Constitution', et seq.)] [Pageheading: THE ENGLISH CONSTITUTION] _Viscount Melbourne to Queen Victoria._ SOUTH STREET, _4th November 1841._ Lord Melbourne presents his humble duty to your Majesty.

He has this morning had the honour and pleasure of receiving your Majesty's letter of yesterday....
Lord Melbourne sends a letter which he has received from his sister, which may not be unentertaining.

Lady Palmerston is struck, as everybody is who goes to Ireland, with the candid warmth and vehement demonstration of feeling.

England always appears cold, heartless, and sulky in comparison....
With respect to the questions put to me by your Majesty at the desire of His Royal Highness, Lord Melbourne begs leave to assure your Majesty that he will be at all times most ready and anxious to give any information in his power upon points of this sort, which are very curious, very important, very worthy to be enquired into, and upon which accurate information is not easily to be found.
