It should nit be fotgotten, that it wee to Irish landlords they were about to preach the docents, that one district which was isinskious, and without paupers, should he required by law to maintain the paupers cd die leen which were neglected ; for they were told that from the very instant that their rates rose to two and deposes .in the pound, they might fi n on the iteph thil .ng pram of the electoral division to support their paupen 61111 S 1611 mime raised by their good management and thritcytesdnet. This was the whole argument in ref. rents to the those in one *entente—it required no reasoning—it called for no fur ther illustration ; and, with that statement, he should leave - the awe with their lordships, and confidently lock for their decision against its adoption. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE differed wholly from the general principles which had been laid down by the noble and learned lord I Brougham), in his reading of the statute of Elisabeth. The noble and learned UM had omitted to draw the distinction between labour and destitu tion, sad he had ketsight of the point that this these did sot thee labour upon property, hot by ion ennelethets was designed to mks propity provide kr the thmitollso at the country.

With referees. to the alleged inn= of the popula tion into the large cities, he would call attention to the fact, that comparing the population, as shown by a comparison between the census 0(1831 and that of 1841, the population of Kilkenny bad decreased 116, Bantry had decreased 192, Cork had decreased 901, and Galway hod decreasel 609, so that these towns could not complain of the influx of popula tion of late pm. Earl PITZ WILLIAM thought the clause now under con sideration was one which ought to be made of temporary operation. It appeared to bun that the question was sot merely one between large towns and small towns, but be tween high-ested districts which had no paupers, and those low-rated distriete which had paupers. Both town sad country districts were undoubtedly intimately connected in interest, and that commies he did not think had been aufil- Mindy cooddered in the propel/the of this bill. The Marquis of WESTMEATH asked whether there was any intention...en the part of her Mitkety's government to disturb the vote whisk had been come to on a former even ing ? If no seek intention pined, and that it was math Mood the present measure wee only to be temporary, he fler one would not offer say further opposition to Its propos.

(Hear, hear) EXCHEQUER BILLS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—Sir, I am about to take a mum which, I am aware, is irregularla point of form, but which is necessary in the present stets el feveri-h anxiety, not enly in the metropolis, but in many parts of the country, is reference to the monetary affairs of the kingdom. I will shortly state precisely what ans the intentions of the government. Sir, I need hardly asy that this auhject has occupied the anxious consideration of the government. My noble friend and myself have received from day to day numerous deputations, and we have also been in constant, I may say hourly, communication with those parties who are able, we believe, to afford the most accurate information, and to give the best advice as to the steps necessary to be taken in the present state of the money market. The complaints and representations made to us may be classed wider two divi sions. Those parties who came up from the country urged that various steps should be taken, either by the government or by the Bank of England guaranteed by the government, all of which would &menet either to the repeal or the stn. pension of the law by which the currency of this country is now regulated. (Hear, hear.) New, Ido not wish at fhb moment to rates ant discussion on that question, tho ug h it may vary fairly be raised by horhgentlemen ; all that I wish to state is, that that is a course which her Majesty's government are not prepared to adopt. (Hear, hear.) Hoeing made that declaration, let me say, I think it desirable that, con silently with the maintenance of that law, every facility shed be given which can be Riven legitimately and legally -(Year, hear)—and undoubtedly no demand should be made ea the part of the government which can possibly interfere with that accommodation which it is desirable to giver on geed and safe security to such an extent as the Back feel tammelves justified in giving it. Sir, it is just a week ago dame I gated ant the necessity for the stringent measures ressatly adopted by the Bank had ceased to exist. I car- Jellify must have been misunderstood, when I was repre. seated as havine said that the danger was over; I never used any expression of that kind, or to that effect. (Hear, hear.) What I said was—not as matter of opinion but as matter of fact—that the necessity for the stringent measures which had been resorted to had ceased to exist. On the two previous des is the severity of the machinery em ployed by the Beek had been relaxed; end they had been enabled, within reasonable and moderate bounds, to give in creased esscommodation. The last retarns published show a I very mach improved condition of the Bank.' Since last Satur day they have received no less than 400,000!. in gold and slur bullion, and nearly to that extent, therefore, inde pendently of the accommodation which they may have been enabled to give, the circulation of the country has been in creased. Now, of course, I am most anxious not to in terfere with the discretion which the Bank may think proper to exercise. I desire, so far as the government securities are concerned, to place them in a position in which they will be as available as possible to those who hold them ; and I also wish to pat the exchequer in such a condition as will raise, to the extent of my power, that aid and amistanee which, on former occasion., on quarter day, with a single exception, been readily afforded by the government to the Bank. It oartaiely does appear that the description of go vernment securities which, at the present moment, labours under the greatest depression, and I may say discrodir, is exchequer bills. (Hear, hear.) lam aware that consider able anxiety is felt se to the course which the government intend to take with regard to thet subject; and although the usual time for making an announcement on the subject has not arrived, yet, with a view of calming that anxiety, I think it desirable to state that I shall, ou the venal day, the 19th of May, give the usual no•iee for the exchange of ea chequer bills, subject to the usual conditions, with this addi tion—that I think it iadiepenuble to raise the rate of in terest on thus securities, which is now far below the current rats on any other description of securities with which they compete. (Hear, hear.) I propose that, from the day of exchange, exchequer bills shall bear an interest of 3d. per diem. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I find, moreorer ' that that which has usually been done on former occasions—the hoer tiring of monez e upon exchequer hills—has of late been attended with weal rabic difficulty ; but I am happy to state that the Bank his now found itself in a condition to make advances of money on those bills. They did that to • certain extent to-day, it having been mule known to the brokers that they were prepared to take that comae. lam glad to say that the demand made upon t're Bank has been very far short of what might have been ex pected , they burr been able to meet the whole demand for advances, which I believe has not exceeded tae was muter. stood) 170,000!. Now, with regard to the exchequer, it is certainly exceedingly deerable that I should not be under the necessity of calling upon the Bank to make Larger ad vances than are indispensably necusary. lam happy to say that although last week, probably from the difficulty of obtaining money, the payments of money were a little checked, I have beard from my right hon. friend, the Chair man of the Customs Deputes. nt, to-day, that payments have resumed their ordinary course ; and that, for the last two or thou days, they have amounted to us mach as usual at this time of the year. Indeed, I have heard from many sourer that money is, in the City of Lon don, much easier ; and that the extremity of de pression is past. (Hear, hear.) Now, sir, the mode by which I propose to put the Exchequer in a favour able condition is by offering inducements to those psersons who have undertaken the loan to pay up their instalments. I have reason to believe that in all probability a great num ber of perms who were parties to the loan will be disposed on the allowance of discount to pay up either the whole or a portion of the instalments between this and the .sth of July, and what I wish to do to-day therefore is, to give notice that on Monday next I shall move that the house resolve itself iuto committee, when I shall submit a resolution empower ing all advance of interest by way of discount on prompt payments. I propose to make an allowance of discount to all persons who shall pay up any portion of the instal meats due front them. On former occasions it has been usual to insist on payment of the whole, but I do not in- tend to do that in the present ease. What I propose is that any person who shall pay up, previous to June 18, any portion of the instalment due subsequently to that day, shall receive discount at a given rata, tole calculated from the day on which the payment is made up to the period when the in stalment shall become due ; that is to say, If any one pay up early in May the whole of the instalment due in June he shall receive a month's interest; if he pay in May what is due in June and July , he shall receive two months' interest; and if he pay in May what is due in June, July, and August, he shall receive three months' interest ; and from the day in June on which the exchange takes piece, the interest on all exchequer bills will be at the rate of threepence per diem. I have reason to hope that a considerable rum of money will in this way be paid up; from what I hear, lam in hopes we shall receive a sufficient sum to place the exchequer in a satisfactory condition before the day for the payment of dividends shall arrive. Ido not know that I need state any more at present. I shall on Monday move that the house resolve itself into a committee of the whole house, to consider of authorising an allowance of interest by way of discount on prompt payment of instalments on exchequer bills. PUNISHMENT OF VAGRANTS, &e. (IRELAND) BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the order date day for going Into committee on this bill. Mr. SCROPR mad that before the house went into com mittee, he wished to ask the noble lord whether he would pledge himself to take every mew in his power to secure the paring of a measure whisk would give to the poor of Ireland • right to relief ha amo eldwititution.

RUSIIBLL—Sir, my boa. Meal mks me for some I,,,hegistion empasstag my intentions as to goiag es with this bill. I beg is remind him that I have always de clared tam m the versa Pew-law Bill only applied to a certain paths ef tM deetitues. k would not be just to de. prise those whooroadralsmi by the principle of the bill of the means adobes/aft what assistance they could in charity. I am still of the muse opinion, ace, therefore, I could not ask the house to peas this bill, unless I hollered that a general bill was alum to become law which would give to all persona la danger et starving the means of obtaining thole Nippon hum rates to be levied by law. (Cheers.) I may my taseher, in answer to another question, pat by my boa. hind, that if that poor-law bill, the object of which is to giro such relief, is to be limited ie its aura tiou, then this bill, which is of a penal character, shonld also be limited in the same manner. (Hear, hear.) But while I say this, I do not think that that is any mama for &dieing to enter into the details of this measure. (Hear, hear) It is obvious that if the two houses of parliament wen to show so much jealousy of each other, that the one said we will not pass the vagrancy bill unless the poor-law bill be satisfactory to us after it has passed through the other house • and the other said, we will not consider the pow-law bill Lulea, the vagrancy bill shall accompany it, it is quits obvious, I say, that there would be great danger that between the two no progreas in legislation would be made. I am, therefore, peed to go into committee on this bill. Before the bill has finally passed through this house, we shall probably know in what state IL loth which we hare sent up to the other house will be returned to us. (Hear, hear.) At present I do not think my hoc. friend is aware whether or not the alteration in the other hill, from a permanent to a temporary duration, is an alteration which applies to the whole of the bill—( Hear, hear)—or whether it applies only to some clauses of It, and if so, to what clauses. Sir, with regard to the last pint which my hon. friend put—namely, the necessity for a Exis -law, I must say that lem more and more oouvineed, circumstances which I learn from day to day, and from • opinions of parsons for whose authority I feel great respect, that the Dill which we have passed in this house is absolutely necessary for Ireland. (loud cheers.) I heard only this day—l will not mention name/ be• anise it may be one of those exaggerated statements 'RDAY EVENING, MAY 8, which are eamedises made, but se far as I can 1100 it slums to he well authenticated-I,hesed tide day of the ems of a poor family, which having had kr its Mod Ilaillithr forty-shilling freeholders, who were *Vim'. 0104 ." .. serfs and Otani of the great political Pussliarolt bit uomw`• isooft ari and having now Demme luster, have sainted • to quit their holdings, rad, tint sans bring rsarosesdr tae loft to guars.

(Cries of "Num, mono.") I 's not give the name, but I hare heeled the stals;sansa illk no one can be blind to the eireeMetniela With* sae in Ireland. It was stated to my HOS kraaarib Mt few days ago, that the relief - works hawk* bee" stopped in the district of limitary. within a tsw lama great number of persona had perished. Why, sir, It dogs War to me, that although persons with property in 11.104 al7 be unable to feed the destitute poor for a whole year, in which their usual food has been exhaurted, yet during an interval between the stopping of the public works, sod the operation of the bill which has been proposed, persons of property in the neighbourhood, and not the government, were bound to maintain the destitute. I may ley, further, with respect to authority, that two persons who had en pressed very strong opinions against oat-door relief in Ireland, and to whom opinion great value attaches—one of these gentlemen being Mr. Nicholles, one of the present par-law commissioners, and the other, Mr. Outman, au aasistant-commissioner—have expressed their opinions in writing, that in the present state of things in Ireland out door relief is absolutely necessary. Under them circumstanon and with these authorities to support my veins, I am more confirmed than ever in my opinion as to the nmesity of such • law ; and it is under those circumstances that I ask thi house to proceed with the Vagrancy Bill. (Cheers.) Mr. S. CRAWFORD would not oppose the motion for going into committee, but agreed with the hon. member fur Stroud (Mr. P. Scrope), that it would be unwise to allow the bill to proceed to its further stages until the house knew what was to be done with the F.sor-law Bill. Mr. F. FRENCH said he could not refrain from expels. ins his astonishment at the eireiteastanee of a portion of the Poor-law Bill being considered • stumbling-block to the Vagrancy Bill. Mr. SHAW thought the limitation placed upon the Irish poor -law bill would have a beneficial effect. He could not but express his regret that the noble lord should have alluded to the nee he had mentioned without giving any name. Such a course wes not only inconvenient, but ac tually unjust. (Hear, hear.) When no name was given, the statement might apply to all the landlord@ of Ireland. Sir N. W. BARRON owned that he felt great doubt and great anxiety about the Irish poor-law, and he thought it jolt, right, and expedient, that it should be made a temporary measure. Mr. ROSS also admitted that the poor-law was a measure attended with doubt and hazard, but he thought they were in that position that they must risk something, and heshould deeply lament if what pared elsewhere placed them in such a position as to oblige them to do all their work flyer again. Mr. B. ESCOTT said the people of England were nearly tired of sending their money over to Ireland and receiving back paupers in return. He was glad to hear from the noble lord that he was determined to make the poor-law a really effective measure. If the wild ardour of some individuals elsewhere were continued the government would need to par not merely a vagrancy bill, but a staingent " lunacy" bill for Ireland. Mr. TRELAWNY hoped the government would " show their teeth" by resolutely persisting in their measure. The house then went into committee. On clause 2, Mr. P. SCROPE moved an addition to the clause, ex plaining that parties coming under its operation on account of desertion of family or such like offence, should have been previously offered a maintenance by the pariah, or that me►ns of employment were within their power. Mr. B. ESCOTT asked whether it was true that under an old statute, vagrants in Ireland were liable to transportation ? Mr. SHAW said it was true that there was an act to that effect, but it was nearly obsolete. Mr. S. CRAWFORD said he had known instances where such a law had been put in force, but they had been cases of prostitutes and such like. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he way informed that the law was put in force occasionally with regard to what, in England, were known as disorderly persons, but not as re garded common vagrants. Mr. SHAW admitted that the act was one which might be beneficially repealed ; and Mr. B. ESCOTT said his worst suspicions regarding the act had been confirmed. - ---• Mr. HENLEY, with respect to the amendment, thought it went too far. Sir D. NORItEYS observed, that sometimes the vagrant might have no legal settlement in the parish in which he ' committed his offence. Some conversation ensued, which terminated on Sir G. GREY promising to consider the amendment at a fature stage. The clause Ins then agreed to. On clause 3, Mr. M. O'FERRALL observed that there was throughout Ireland a feeling highly sympathetic with a class of persons who, from misfortune. had been reduced to seek alms from :he population Mum' rud distinct from the clam of sturdy vagrants. It would be creating an universal hostilitT to the bill in Ireland were it attempted to enforce its previous alike against every description of alms makers. The bill, too, as it stood, might be put in effect even against those thousands of industrious persons who annually migrated to England for harvest work, and who, on their way, solicited hospitality and aid. Sir 0. GREY did not apprehend that the classes in question had any reason to fear the results from the present meaner, suggested by his hon. friend. The bill did not at all contemplate such persons. Mr. M. O'FERRALL suggested that the discretion as to the cues in which the measure should be put into operation should be vested, not in particular magistrates, but in the poor-law commissioners. After more discussion, Mr. YOUNG thought that the task of distinction might safely be left to the magistrates. Mr. P. SCRGPE suggested a proviso to this effect " Provided it mu be proved that the vagrant could have been relieved in his own union, or had other means of maintaining himself." Sir R. FERGUSON opposed the proviso. Mr. M. OTERRALL thought that the proviso proposed would nullify the cisme altogether. Mr. MONAHAN said that the magistrate, in the sound exercise of his discretion, could fully answer the end which the hon. member for Strout had in view of properly defining va gMESCOTT hoped that the hon. member would not divide the committee, but would wait until he saw what was done with the Irish poor-law in another place. The gallery was cleared fora division, but none took place. the hon. member having withdrawn his proviso. The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the house resumed. The report to be received on Monday next. POOR RELIEF SUPERVISION (IRELAND) BILL. (No. 2.) On the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair, Sir It. FERGUSON wished to have some explanation as to the points in which this bill differed from the English bill. This bill was perpetual, while the English bill was only for five years. He thought it would be much better if parlia ment were given an opportunity of revision in a future sea sion. There were other minor points of differences which he thought also required explanation. Lord J. RUSSELL said, it was intended to assimilate the bill in duration to the English bill. The principle was generally the acme.—The house then went into committee. On clause 1, Mr. P. SC ROPE expressed his regret that the carrying out of the measure should he intruded to a gentleman who bad expressed himself so strongly against out-door relief. Mr. LABOUCHERE regretted that the hon. member should have taken that opportunity to make an attack on Mr. Twieffeton. In hie opinion it was highly improper to discuss a public measure with reference to probable future appointments under it. Mr. J. YOUNG defended Mr. Twixtleton as an able and efficient public servant. Mr. F. FRENCH thought that Ireland had reason to complain that none of the chief appointments were entrusted to Mailmen. Mr. SHAW old that Irishmen bad never less region to complain oa tbat wore than at the present moment. The rewaxing clauses were weed to. Sir R.

POOR REMOVAL (ENOLAND AND SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, end in answer to • question from Sir D. NORIIITS, Sir G. GREY said, with reference to the removal of Irish rupee, the present law was quite inoperative, sad the object of the bal was, when Irish paupers applied Ibr relief, to give power to • magistrate to examine them at sea, sad mike an order for their remove], instead of allowing flan to crowd together in holes and cellars, ea WM the Can Is Liverpool, and then spread themselves over the country, carrying contagion. disuse., and misery wherever they went. Sir J. GRAHAM approved of the bill , bat thought it would fall far short of the object. By the present law me p-non could be removed to Ireland without some owe meow raying them—that difficulty would be removed by the pre sent measure. The necessity wag pressed on the government of bringing forward each a bill as that before the house, and, perhaps, it went r far as it would be well to go while the cpmemon of the relief of the Irish poor wee pending in ane thee leer)—but which he hoped would soon become the law of the land—(bear, hear) —and it would then become nowerary to legislate farther on this subject. Mr. P. SCROPE thought that this question omit to he taken into serious consideration, and that by a law of settle went for Ireland, or some other means, the continued inusi. radon of Irish paupers might be prevented in the places where it originated. Mr. F. FRENCH said that the speech of the hon. member for Stroud only proved what his continued and constant attacks on the landlords of Inland heretofore evinced, namely, his anxiety I. legislate for Ireland to the benefit of England. Mr. CARDWELL thought that the language of the bon member for Roscommon, was but an indifferent return to r7.l. l l l ß't° 847.. the people of this country for their exertions in behalf of the poor of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Sir H. W. BARRON doubted Has km. gentleman had read the bill. Its object was to give a mammary jori-diction to any gusrdian, relieving ollsar, or overseer, to take and convey before any two Makes eithe pew*, without summons or warrant, any pew panes who they mien have realism to believe was liable dabs samereed from England. Was not that alaw coninterda tal same ofjuatiee, and better suited to Catislaadivora tam ea th is essatry ? Laid SAN DON mid that then was no intentinn of sto semi from 0111a11/111111•1 the channel. He thought the et the-lea. Woo* was hardly called for after the eir haw evinced towards the Irish poor not only in a persaiary [point of view, but in encountering the treof pestilence by his constituents. (Hear, hear.) regard to the bill before the house, its object was to enable them to carry out the existing law, by re timing a technical difficulty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER concurred l a the praise which had been bestowed on the inhabit rats of yi n rpool, for the manner in which they had acted towards t h e It fish poor. With regard to the bill before the house, the h ow. hcronm (Sir W. Barron) should know that a person w . Do e liable to be removed till he became chargeable ; that wee, h a d actually received relief for himself, his wife, ra child. AL the law stood at present, it was necessary to serve a summons on such a person ; but in the state of things w hi c h pre y s , led in Liverpool it would be impossible to find oat a ll t he p ea vows who received relief in order to terve them w i t h ... am and the object of the present bill was merely to do ask • with that preliminary service. Mr. WAILLEI.' regretted the tone end language of the hon. member for Waterford. The people of Ireland had th emse l ves only to h lame for whatever reproaches were east upon them, for if Iriw'smen did their duty towards their poor, the legislation now req aired would not be necess-Ty. Even the meant Poor-law Bt 11 we, not proposed at their request, bat in opposition to their wishes. , hear.) This bill they were discussing had t.he a ppearance of harshness, but it would not be so practically. He thought it would be inope rative. The great Meta, ge now to the removal of Irish paupers, was the g teat expense of removing them, and this would not be remedied by the pre sent bill. He understood that th e Poor-law, as a permanent measure, was defeated elsewhere, . and if so, it was time that the voice of the English people al t o old be raised in favour of the Irish poor. (Cheers.) Mr. FORBES did not think the Ir. ish landlords dimmed all the abuse that had been cast up. them. There were in Irelsnd, as there were also in England Ind Scotland, soma landlords who did not do their rimy, but there wets man good landlord, also in that country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GRAINGER complained that the powers for the apprehension of persons who were supporeti to be paupers were far too great, and said that in committee he should pro pose to alter thebill in that respect. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL mid the sintlle question was, whether the legislature would dispense .the com mons before the removal took place. It was mint ated that where the number of paupers was large, the prelimin vf, ser mons was a practical defeat of the measure. Sir R. FEROUSON objected to the bill that it merely gave power to transport the poor to the Irish seaports. ?do provision was made for passing them into the interior. The only result would be to relieve the English seaport towns at the eacense of the Irish. The . bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. POST-OFFICE - ARRANGEMENTS IN THE lEBRIDES. On the order of the day forgoing into committee of supply, Mr. BAI LLIE rose to call the attention of the house to the post-ofgce arrangements in the Hebrides. The hon. member entered into a narrative from which it appeared that the inhabitants of Long Island, unlike those of the other islands in the Hebrides, are subject to a charge of 3001. • year for a packet employed in the conveyance of their letters. lie complained of this as • gross injustice to the island. Mr. PARKER said that the subject was under the consi deration of the pat-office authorities, and he hoped the in equality complained of would soon be removed. The ques tion was solely one of revenue.__ _ SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply. 4,53,7481. was voted for the commissariat department ; and 40,6461. for the half.pay pensions and allowances in the same department. On the proposal of 50,0001. on account of the works of the Caledonia Canal, Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the vote, and said that in asking for the sum of 16,5,0001. the right bon. baronet the member for Tamworth, when prime minister, had pledged himself that no additional sum would be required. Mr. DUNCAN denied that the C iledontan Canal was a melee' work. A vessel drawing 17 feet of water had lately appeared in the port of Inverness. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained that the outlay now incurred had been eaurd by unforeseen 'occasioned chiefly by an socident. Col SIBTHORP thought that those who caused the mei dentought to pay for it. This was one of a clam of estimates which in his opinion ought to be inquired into by a com mittee np-stairs. Mr. HENLEY thought the house had been scarcely fairly treated in this matter. Certainly when last it was before them the sum they agreed to spend upon the canal was 1. ,:end en the amount already voted. Wnnld the Chancellor of the Exchequer seat.. oicta that this would be the last vote for the object ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not undertake to promise that accidents would not happen. The vote was put and agreed to. The following votes were agreed to : 20,4764 for public buildings anti inland navigation in Ireland. _ 8,3001. for works in Harbour. 250001. for sala ri es, &c., to officers in the two Homes of Parliament • 26,900!. for salaries, &c,., in the Treasury. 16,4001. for salaries &c., in the Hone-office. 71,0001. for salutes, &e., in the foreign department. 18,000/. for salaries, &c., in the colonsal department. 37,0001. for salaries, &c., in the Privy Council-office. 2,0001. for sallries, &e., in the office of the Lord Privy Seal. 28,7221. for salaries, &e., in the office of the Paymaster- General. idr. C. BERKELEY called attention to the fact that an immense rum was paid annually, by way of half-pay, to German o ffi cers, formerly in our service. He believed this corps were found to be specially long-lived. The next vote was, 15,8231. for the expenses of the office of the Comptroller of the Exchequer. On this vote, Colonel SI BTHORP asked whether this annecamery offioe was not to be abolished? The appointment of the last comptroller was a job, and the sooner they got rid of him the better. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not of course offer to abolish an office instituted for the express purpose of controlling his proceedings. Vote agreed to. £2,650 for defraying the 'names of the State Paper Office. HUME asked what state paper bad been published last year Lord J. RUSSELL mid none had been published, but many had been in a state of preparation. L 3,440 for defraying the salaries of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners' Office. Mr. W. WILLIAMS asked why this charge was made upon the state, when so much church property was pausing through these comotissimen' hands ? Lord J. RUSSELL said this commission had been ap pointed by the state against the desire of the church, and the public, who wished the charge to be incurred, mug pay for it. Mr. HUME thought this vote should be postponed until the Ecclesiastical Commiseioners made their report. Mr. OOULBURN said this commission was not for the benefit of the church at all—it was for the benefit of the people by means of their increased spiritual instruction. Mr. WILLIAMS said he ahonld take the Dense of the house against this vote. Mr. BROTHERTON hoped his bon. friends would take some other opportunity of exhibiting their desire for a popular vote, and divide the house upon some really import ant question. The vote was agreed to without a division. • The next vote was 182,0001., to defray the expense of the establishment for the administration of the poor-law. Mr. BAN KES moved that the chairman report progress, with a view to the postponement of this vote until after the second reading of the government bill for this administration of the poor-law. Sir G. GREY said that the amount proposed was the same as that given last year, and it was taken at that amount with a view to pay for the new establishment ; the amount sctually required would not be more, and might be lees. Capt. PECHELL concurred in the propriety of post poning this vote, and would support the amendment of the hon. member for Doreetahire. Sir G. GREY would consent that the chairman should report progress if the house so desired. The c hairm an then reported progress, and obtained leave to:sit wain. HOUSE OF LORDS.—POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL.

THE House of Lords has rejected the rating clause of the Irish Poor-law, and left ministers once more in a minority. The clause is not a very auntie/ portion of the law ; although its suppression renders the measure more and more a landlords' bill, and in creases the repugnance of the town population both to it and to the proprietorial classes. Should the landlords be emboldened to vote the BENTINCE clause also, it will be tantamount to a rejection of the bill, and may possibly lead to a ministerial change. It is but fair, that if the landlord party claim to I legislate for Ireland exclusively in their own sense and interests, they should be left to administer it also. Czmpulaory charity is certainly one of the most unwelcome burdens that can be imposed. The poor rata that come from nine-tenths of the pockets which prof them, go to feed paupers which perhaps not one of the rate-payers are in aayways answerable for. The landlord or the master manufacturer may be en ex ception. They may pay, in the shape of rates, an• naitiee and retiring . pensions, to peasants and spe. retires, whose energies during the prime of life they have profited by. But the general mass of roe payers give their quota merely to a portion of the general pauperism of the country. The Irish landlord, as represented by Lord STAN. LEY, grumbles at this hardship. He is willing to pay for the pauper, that himself has made or created, but for no other. Suppose every one and every class was to] say the same ; what would become of the greater proportion of the English poor, or of the English poor-law ? We admit, that it may seem hard for the owner of a well cared for property, not to be left to enjoy the fruits of his skilful manage. ment, but to be taxed for the poor on the estate of his improvident neighbour. But the inhabitants of a county, landlord and citizen, have duties beyond their immediate homes, or their peculiar estates. They must look and contribute towards the welfare, not only of an estate, but of the county, of the pro vince, of the kingdom. And this is demanded of them in their own interests; for who can hope to enjoy the peace and prosperity of his private domain, however perfect, if it be but an oasis in the midst of a wild of barrenness, pauperism, and violence? If the object of the poor-law was merely that of taxation for the s.ke of feeding a certain number of paupers, it would be little matter whether the rate was struck in a large area or in a small divi sion. But the object is to rouse the landed pro prietors from apathy and isolation, to force them to combined efforts for the looking to, providing for, and elevating the condition of, their peasantry. The most strenuous efforts of each proprietor on his estate cannot do this. There will be properues indebted, properties contested ; those long ssrk-rooted, or of such poor soils as to allow no better than squatters. Are these to be left to themselves, and the r cleared from the better cultivated estates to be . ung upon them? This would be to chequer Ireland, as indeed it is chequered, with happy valleys and Pandemoniums intermixed ; the latter sending forth the midnight assassin, to affright and lord it over the former. This is the old system, which the poor-law is intended to destroy. But Lord STANLEY would modify the poor-law so AS to sanction the continuance of this old system. Lord STANLEY poe es 4,000 acres, with very little pauperism upon them. He thinks it very bard to find these merged in a Union of 80,000 acres, all of which will come to make fresh demands on his purse and his care. It is hard, no doubt. But who is to take care of the Irish neglected population ? If Irish landlords will not, the English mast ! On whom would Lord STANLEY fling the burden? The government flung it on those active, and efficient, and wealthy persons nearest ; and in fact those near to this miser) , are most interested in its suppression, for such vicinity is not only disagreeable, but dangerous to life, and de preciatory to property. Lords STANLEY and MosT EAGLE say : " 'No : beyond our domain wall,or electoral district, we will not look." In that case, they must intend government or the Poor-law Commissioners to become stewards and administrators of all neglected estates. The present effort is to effect a social reform by means of the landlords and the middle classes. There are only two other ways of effecting the purpose; which are, the dictatorial interference and action of government, or the dictatorial interference and action of the people ; which last means revolution. We think that it should be a great object with the Irish landlords and the Irish middle class to avoid either of these latter extremes, and to do the great, the good, and indispensable work themselves; for done, they ma) depend upon it, it will be. Ireland cannot remain as It is. And if the Irish of talent, experience, and property, will not undertake to gaide and effect that change, pleading that they are deter mined to confine their cares and purses to their private properties, then we can only say that in this case, as in every other of a similar nature in history, the abdication of the upper and proprietorial classes will lead to their destruction. THE existing pressure and panic in the English money market are exciting little less than an insur- rection in most parts of the country against the as sumed omniscience of parliament, which, three years ago, passed a decree placing the public and FL rate credit of the country in direct opposition and war with each other, literally sacriB - the latter in difficult moments to up hold the former, as if they were antagonist, not identical, and which in the universal distress, now oocasionod by the enforcement of its theory, lot" coolly and self-applaudingly on, as if the only object was to save its own consistency and principles, allow inghalf the industriously raised fortunes of the country to perish without respite or pity. It is indeed a singular contrast, that offered at pre- sent by the silence of the London press, and the uproariousness of the provincial, by the solemn taci turnity of the House of Commons, all sank, whigs and radicals, in the blind worship of PEHL, and the frank declaration of eve. man to be met with, that the bill I of 1841 has proved a failure. Ths House of Lords, which is not so exclusively Peat-worshipper as the Commons, uttered its pro test on Thursday night, and Lord ASHBURTON did not shrink from denouncing the effect of the legislation of 1844. That bill was evidently framed with a view to counteract the effects of over-production and over` trading, and, as such, was a good fair-weather measure. But its inevitable tendency to cripple and destroy the productive power of the country at a time when ex cessive imports are not the result of speculation, but of absolute necessity, has been but too fully proved of late. We are not very anxious to embark upon this wids field of discussion, since, however easy it may be to prove the legislation of 1814 disastrous, and several of the assumptions on which it was based utterly un proven and unwarrantable, still, it is a much more
