We have just delivered the Speech in the House of Lords, and the debate will commence at five o'clock.

We understand that the amendment is to be a repetition of the motion of want of confidence, which Sir Robert Peel made in the House of Commons before the dissolution, and nearly in the same terms.

It is to be moved by Lord Ripon[67] in the House of Lords, and by Mr.Stuart Wortley[68] in the House of Commons.

It is understood to be their intention to avoid, as much as possible, debate upon the Corn Laws, and upon the other topics in the Speech, and to place the question entirely upon the result of the General Election and the proof which that affords that the Ministry does not possess the confidence of the country.

Lord Melbourne thinks that it will not be found easy to repress debate in the House of Commons, but would not be surprised if the course which it is intended to pursue should much shorten it in the House of Lords.
