rly if we had refused a passage to these so-styled Commissioners from the Southern States. Now on this point I have a very strong opinion I know that there are at this table members of the legal profession, but I am not going to offer any opinion of my own. I am going to offer to your notice a fact of which I am perfectly cognizant, and which occurred in the year 1833-either at the latter end of the year 1833 or the beginning of the year 1834. At that time Donna Maria was on the throne of Portugal. In 1833, Dom Miguel was expelled from that country, and yet a noted agent of Dom Miguel applied to the Peninsular and Oriental Company for a passage to Lisbon in the Tagus steamer.

( Bravo, and Capital. ) I need not ask you, gentlemen, if I am acquitted of bullying. I bullied no one. (Hear, hear.) I need not ask you whether you acquit me now. I beg once more to express my thanks to you for the mantle of your approbation which you have thrown over my shoulders.--Captain Williams then resumed his seat, amidst repeated applause, but immediately rose again an
