Lord Melbourne will write again to your Majesty after the debate, and will certainly come down to-morrow, unless anything unexpected should occur to prevent him.
It will be necessary to receive the address of the Convocation in some manner or another.

Lord Melbourne will write confidentially to the Archbishop[69] to learn how it may be received in the quietest manner and with the least trouble.

Lord Melbourne has little doubt that the Lords and Commons will send their addresses by the officers of the Household.
Lord Melbourne entreats your Majesty to pick up your spirits.

No one of the Tory leaders, except Sir Robert Peel, appears disposed to speak.
Should the Address be voted to-night, and reported to-morrow, it may be presented to your Majesty by Lord Marcus Hill[71] on Saturday.
But should the debate be continued over this night, the report of the Address can hardly take place till Monday.

This, however, is not very likely.
