§ Sir J. PeelOn account of the event which has taken place this day, it is my duty to propose to the House to mingle congratulation with condolence in addressing her Majesty; and I feel perfectly convinced, that the address which I am now about to propose to congratulate her Majesty on the birth of another Princess, Will be received With equal unanimity with that which has just been agreed to. In conformity With all usage, ah address of this kind would be moved on such an occasion. It is impossible that a Princess of the House of Brunswick could be born Without its being considered a matter for congratulation. But I venture, Sir, to say, that the congratulations which this House will offer On this occasion are not mere formal compliments iu accordance with established usage. Every one who knows how to estimate the discharge of every duty that can be imposed on a wife and a mother—every one who can estimate the effects of such an example, set in the highest station in life, can properly estimate a proposal of this kind, and will give their cordial wishes for the Continued health and happiness of her Majesty.
§ Lord John RussellI rise most cordially to second the motion of the right hon. Baronet in this Address. All who know her Majesty know that the happiness enjoyed by her, in her Own home, is greater than that which she derives from her high station; and all must concur in Congratulating her Majesty on an event which conduces so intimately to both.
