LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. Four o'Cloek. The session of Parliament was opened yesterday by her MAJESTY in person, with the usual formalities. In the House of Lords, the address in answer to the speech from the throne was moved by Lord HATHER TON, and seconded by Lord CAREW. Lords STANLEY, LANSDOWNE, BROUGHAM, FITZWILLIAM, RODEN, HARDWICKE. end AUCKLAND followed, after which the address was agreed to. In the House of Commons, Mr. TUFNELL, on the part of Lord JOHN RCS.sELL, gave notice that the noble lord would on Thursday next move, in a committee of the whole House, certain reso lutions with respect to the Corn and Naviga tion Laws ; on Friday, for the appointment of a Committee on the Law of Settlement ; and on Monday bring under the notice of the house the state of Ireland. Mr. PARKER., on behalf of the CHANCELOR of the EXCHEQUER, gave notice that the hon. baronet would, on Tuesday next, move for a Committee of the whole house on the Customs Duties.

The Rrpresx was the first paper which reached the City yesterday with her Majesty's Speech on opening parlia ment. The appearance of the newsmen with the paper wu followed with a rush of parties from the Stock Exchange, and of merchants and bankers into the City Club. house, the Jerusalem, the North and South American Sub scription-rooms, and other places of mercantile resort. The impression made by the Speech was for the moment favour able; but this morning the reading of the debates pro duced an unfavourable effect. Consuls declined to 911 to 1 for both money and account. Two o'Clerk.--Consols are now better; they ral li ed to 92, but are now only 911 to 1 money, and far account 911 to 4.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TLJESDAT, JAN. 19. The Imperial Parliament was this day opened for the session of the current year by her Majesty in person, with the usual formalities. After reading the speech, given by us yesterday, her Majesty, who looked extremely well, then rose and left the house attended by the same cortege as that by which she was esco rted to the throne- —Their lordships then ad- I Owned duffng pleasure. At five o'clock the house resumed, the Lord Chancellor I presiding on the woolsack. VESTRIES 1311. L.-011 the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the bill for the Better Regulation of Select Vestries iu England, was read a first time. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.—THE ADDRESS. The LORD CHANCELLOR having read from his plate at the woolsack Her Maje,ty's Speech from the throne, and the same haying been again read by the clerk at the table, Lord lIATHERTON rose to move the sublime in answer thereto. The condition of Ireland had naturally given a prominence in her Majesty's speech to that topic which was fairly justified by its all-absorbing importance. For the first time for a very long period of yearn Ireland was now se longer the arena fur political agitation; and the qaestion now to be considered was no longer one of party interests or party passions, or party policy. It had pleased the Almighty, is his inscrutable wisdom, to inflict a wide-ifiread and desolat tag famine, for which he (Lord Hatherton) believed there was no precedent in the history of the world, certainly not in the history of any state in modern times was there say record of u overwhelming an affliction falling upon eight millions of people. (Hear, hear.) The Labour-rale Alt, passed last mama in anticipation of the usseidlikialles which now pervaded Ireland had been put IMO I nearly throughout the entire of that portion of bar fins • jeaty's dominions, for the purpose of voting money to be expended in the execution of public works. The mischief of this system had been universally admitted. In the first place, under this syetem of giving employment to the popula tion, works wholly of an useless kind had necessarily been undertaken. this was not the only evil. The useless character of these works was galling to the landed proprietor, who, while they had the charge imposed upon them, could reap from those works no positive benefit hereafter. A still greater evil, however, remained, in the fact that the system induced the abandonment of the proper cultivation of the soil for the purposes of agriculture. He believed that there had been passed an act of this sort, upon which it could so fairly be said that no party was to blame. The lord lieute nant bad taken upon himself the exercise of the wisest discretion, and determined to avail himself of exist ing statutes, and to rdopt the extensions of those powers by permitting public money to be applied to private individuals for useful public eremite. It was, however, soon found that this permission given to the public under the authority of the chief secretary's letter was by no means operative to the requisite extent. That letter permitted the emplo) meet of public money almost exclusively to the purpose of drainage. The reclamation of waste lands was not adopted. Many land owners had no lands to drain—others had already mow plished their drainage works, and thus no very great advance was made under Mr. Labouchere'e letter. Besides, there had been an universal and very natural complaint, in the justice of which, had he be n an Irish landlord, he (Lord Hatberton) should have joined u to that which had pro perly been designated a double taxation. The landlords b = government loans were obliged to contribute to the assewonent, and it was not to be wondered at that ala were desirous of a revision of the law, and to wait for better terms. This state of things naturally induced a my that the areas in which presentment rates were made should be considerably reduced. Besides the Labour-rate Act, there had been passed lest session the Drainage Act, and in addition to both these extended measures of relief, there had been Mr. La bouebere's letter. There had also passed an act empowering the Treasury to expend the sum of 50,0!01. in the suention of public works in reference to harbours and fisheries, but to clogged was that statute with inconvenient provisions, that not ewe farthing had been advanced under it. Ireland, there fore, was now in this condition. Drainage there must ne cessarily cease almost immediately, for though the great I arterial drains may still afford considerable employment for the people in the summer months, yet the drainage of arable lead could only be prosecuted at a period of the year when the hand was barren—a) that, in fact, matters in Ireland s'ood thus : The operation of the Labour-rate Act must cease, bemuse it had been found impolitic to go on with an ex- peniiture upoa useless public w , vice, and because it had been impossible to find works on which properly to expend the public money, and hence it was absolutely necessary to provide some other modes of employing the population of that country. (Hear, hear.) What those modes should be, it was not for him (Lord Netherton) at that moment to state er to express any opinion upon them. He had heard of some, bat upon them he did not possess any accurate or authentic knowledge, and he should deprecate any attempt "N introduce any dueus ion on merely presumed information. (Hear.) Whore it was desirable that all parties in and out of parliament should communicate to the government their opinions and desires upon the subject, it would be highly inconvenient to enter now upon the consideration of what measures it ought to be the duty of the first minister of the mown to most nt in a few days to the consideration of the other house of parliament Such was the statement which le felt it his imperative duty to make's their lordships, and if he had omitted anything which he should have stated, there were so many of their lordships so intimately ac tainted with all the affairs of Ireland, that these omissions would be amply supplied. He was sorry to add that there mere also a large body of absentee landlords, some of them Englishmen, who derived considerable pro perty from Ireland, a nd who had not by their presence Wed their mesas encouraged and assisted at this emergency those who were dependent upon them. (Hear, hear.) Whatever might be the issue of this calamity, there was at least • general determination on the part of all to do their duty, the rue they must leave to the wisdom of Providence, hoping that heseen might yet have in store for Ireland better things, and her present 'sufferings mined fit her for a better understanding of her social duties. There were two measures is particular by which the govern ment proposed to meet the present emergency, the suspension of all duties upon grain, and the was of sugar in breweries and distilleries. He (Lord Hatherton) did not think but that there would be a general dhpodtion on the part ef parliament to receive both those 1110111111101. He knew that it was contended by some that with the pries of grain rising in all the markets of Europe and in the country the opening of the ports enabled factors to fill their pockets, and that they received the whole profits. there was no intimation in the spa ech friar throne with regard to the navigation laws, be hoped that he might rely on the intention of government Is duce some modification of them. With regard to the twes of sugar in breweries and distilleries, it should be remembered that barley we, 10s. a quarter dearer thaa in the eorreepeed ing period of lost year, and most hawses agreed that sat more than onestlfth of colonial produce would be sub stituted for it; and it was well known that the rise of beer had been advanced by retailers. With re gard to both these measure., he was sure that n desire that say class should profit by the present calamity would be repudiated by all. There was another measure which, although it was not contained in her Majesty's speech, was yet most necessary, with reference to any large ad vances to landlords ; he alluded to the appointment of • commission for facilitating the transfer of pro perty; and if, sa he beard, one of the learned lords who presided over one of our courts of law, had con sented to lend his aid, he could not but anticipate the greatest benefit from it! He could not see how the landlords could be charged for the reclaiming of waste lands without giving them facilities for disposing of their property, and no notions with regard to old laws and the sanctity of property, should sand in the way of a modified change. Her Majesty, in the next portion of her speec had simply informed their lordships that she had "ordered the correspondence relating to the marriage . of the Infanta of Spain with the Duke de Montpensier to be laid before them." And as their lordships were in possession of no authentic informa tion on that subject, it would not become him to offer any observations upon it. Her Majesty had stated that " The extinction of the free State of Cracow has appeared to her to be so manifest a violation of the treaty of Vienna, that she had commanded that a protest spinet that act should be delivered to the courts of Vienna, Petersburg, and Berlin, which were parties to it. Copies of these several papers would be laid before them." Although hedid not proponeto ask their lordships to pass any censure on the violation of the treaty of Vienna, he would take the liberty of stating his own strong opinion that Austria was of all other states in Europe the one which should have adhered to that treaty, inasmuch as it was not only on that that the fabric of her empire was based, but much of her stability in Europe had been derived from it. It was impossible for the states on this side of Europe to in.erfere for the protection of the free city of Cracow; but it was necessary that a strong protest should be made by all interested against that unfortunate act, ard he had no doubt that both houses of parliament would concur in expressing their abhorrence of an act which he (Lord Hatherton) thought a crime and a folly ofthe basest description. In the next para graph of the speech from the throne her Majesty had alluded to the war on the River Plate. Lodges be had been connected with a manufacturing county, although he had heard com plaints from merchants of the inconveniences arising from the continuance of the war, yet he had never heard any which had reference to any want of attention or of strenuous efforts. to suppress that war, on the part either of the noble earl who lately filled the office of Secretaryfor Foreign Affairs, or of her Majesty's present Secretary of State. He hoped that the united efforts of her Majesty and the King of the French, would be effectual in suppressing it. Her Majesty's speech also contained an eseursnce that her relations with foreign powers gave her the fullest confidence in the mainte nance of peace. Though they had been accustomed to such assurances, yet the connexion which existed between this country and other States, as well as the Christian duty of the preservation of peace, always made such assurances welcome. Reference had also been made to the topic of sanitory rem'. latib:n and the health of towns. Living as he did in the neighbourhood ef populous towns, he knew what importance was to he attached to suck measures, and he could not but add that the subject was one which owed much to the noble marquis who now represented her Majesty in Paris. With these plain observation.. he should move th .t an honilik. ahlrese be presented to her Majesty in answer t c h, r evacioes seesech. (The noble turd then th e a c r e,. which was, as usual, an echo of the speech.) z "e&/ SHIPPING.

Fur Yesterday's Market's.. last page. c ) f Lord CAREW rise to second the address. (The noble lord spoke in so low a tone of voice, that it was quite impossible to catch even the purport of the greater part of his observations.) He said, that in rising to second the motion of his noble friend, he could say with truth that it was always with pain and reluctance that he eddremed their lordships, but he felt he would not have been justified in refusing to come forward to testify to the misfortunes of Ireland, and he felt he should have been de serting the interests of his country if ke bad shrunk from the duty imposed on him. Etsggeration was impossible as rw,rded the state of Ireland, and although he had been asked whether such things were possible, he was grieved to be obliged to say that they were. Last year distress bad been confined to some places, but in this it was universal. Unfor tunately the poorest part of the population depended on the potato for existence, and it was that which made them liable to, and was the CALM of, their d nitres.. When a whole popula tion depended on a single article of food, and that was struck by the inscrutable decree of Providence, the people must starve. Allusion had been made to outrages. No doubt there were outrages in some parts of the country, but in others the people bore their sufferings patiently. In his own county there was nothing which could be called outrage. Much had been said with regard to the . purchase of arms. It had been said tb .t the money gimp for fool had been laid out in the purchase ot arms. He believed the accounts were exaggerated. The majority of purchases were by farmers themselves. It was difficult to deal with an Arms Act, and still more difficult to say that a man should not protect himself. It was his (Lord Carew's) opinion, that the people of Ireland were struck by a dispensation of Providence, and that they so considered it. (The noble lord concluded by secondiug the address.) Lord STANLEY as s n happy to say, that as the govern-' meat in the speech from the throne had wisely abstained from any expressions calculated to provoke discussion, there was no wish on the part of those who had no confidence in their measures to embarrass them by premature or vexatious opposition. He could not but remember the pee , . liar circumstances under which the government occupied their seam He would do them the justice to my that they attained those seats by no factious proceeding or unjustifiable tasma, and he would say further that they obtained them by as eat of their own, but by a combination of circumstances — and he believed many of them had accepted office with sincere reluctance. Whatever might be their politi cal opinions, there was in both houses • feeling that the government was so situated that they had every claim to the forbearance of parliament, and that it would be their duty net to mobegrare them by vexa tious opposition. He would go further, and em, that whatever might be the claims of party, the higher claims of the country should induce forbearance and modera tion. The government did not hold office in ordinary or easy times. Weighty and serious responsibilities pressed upon them, such as required not only that every man should abstain from harassing them, but, without regard to party, should lend his aid earnestly, to ev-operate with those on office in alleviating the miseries under which the country laboured, and averting the serious dangers which threatened her. On his own part and on that of his friends around him, he could assure the government that, while he could not my that the composition of the ministry in this, and more especially in tie other, house of parliament, was ouch as to enable them to rely with confidence on their measures, yet, so long as they walked in the path of the constitution, and abstained from tampering unnecessarily with existing institutions—(hear).--and would resist the inducement held out to them by their more violent supporters to eater on a course of dangerous innovation, so long the. might rest assured that they would find on that side of the house no factious opposition, but a ready support. (Hear, hear.) The speech from the throne made no allusion to the financial condition of the country, and that spipeared to him to be a serious omission. (Hear, hear.) the revenue returns ex hibited is almost every department • considerable increase over the corresponding quarter of last year; and it might have been expected that the government would have con gratulated the country upon that circumstance as a mark of its prosperity ; but the fact of no notice having been taken of the subject rather signified, in his opinion, that the state of the financial condition of the country was not as satisfac tory as those returns would make it appear. He did not doubt the fact to be that there bad been a great con sumption of excise articles, and also • large import of foreign articles, which swelled the customs and made sip for the reduction of other articles; but he feared that the indication of prosperity denoted by the state of the revenue was not one that could be trusted. (Hear.) There had net been, to say the least of it, a corresponding increase in the exports of the country, and although the re venue might have been benefited by large importations, the home industry of the country had not been encouraged to the same extent. (Hear.) If this were the case, he antici pated that it would be the painful duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the present session to mi.° the interest upon exchequer bills, in the premium upon which a very great reduction had taken place since this time last year. Already, too, had there been a very conddcnble export of bullion from this country, and before the expiration of six months he apprehended that the excess of imports over ex ports would show such a reduction in the amount of bullion as to make it a matter of serious consideration. In the pros . . . .• pect of a general peace held out by the Speech he fully con curred, but he confessed that he did not altogether found his confidence in that respect so much upon the state of our foreign relations as upon the growing conviction in this and all other countries of the impolicy, the folly, and the mis chief of war. (Hear, bear.) But he did not look with satisfaction to the state of our relations with foreign powers. Amongst the powers of Europe there was no one with which it was more essential that this country should be upon terms not only of amity but cordial co-operation and union, than the great and neighbouring state of France. In every quarter of the globe we meet that state in innumerable points of contact, and unless there was a good understanding between their governments those points of contact would become poi to of collision, leading to an inharmonious action between two powers, and thus invading the peace of the world. With this sentiment he could not but deeply regret the altered tone which appeared to have been taken by the governments of this country and France. Ile did not apprehend from it any disturbance of the public peace, and he admitted that, before the correspondence was sub mitted to parliament, it would be inconvenient and unwise to enter upon a detailed examination of the statements con tained in that correspondence ; but it was impossible for him not to see, and seeing not to regret, that that cordial under standing which in the time of his noble friend (Lord Aber deen) subsisted between this country and France, had been materially altered for the worse by the events of the last four or five months. He regretted extremely, in the case of the marriage of the Spanish Infanta, in which there was every prospect that a conclusion would bare been arrived at har moniously and unanimously between the representatives of the two governments, that the coisupondenceshould exhibit, what indeed it was melancholy to behold, two statesmen, who represented foreign nations, bandying mutual recrimi nations of interpolations of documents, and of underhand proceedings, and of secret intentions to execute that which they were debarred from executing by the principles of honour. He did not say whose was the fault, but he had read that correspondence with pain, not only on account of the statesmen themselves, but more particularly because be saw in it a change of tone which boded ill for the existence of a cordial understanding between the two countries. He altogether dissented from the construction put by the noble lord at the head of our foreign affairs upon that por tion of the treaty of Utrecht, in reference to which that noble lord had entered Ids formal remonstrance and protest; but he also differed from the construction put upon it by M. Guixot and the French government. He did not pre tend to pus any judgment upon the comparative merits of the ease; but this he would say, let the fault rest where it might, that the correspondence had come to an unfortunate close, and! that France had adopted views which he would not say were detrimental to the imperial interests of this country, but which had been carried on in a mode and manner amounting, in point of fact, to a slight upon and a discourtesy towards, this country, to which he thought it would not have been subjected had his noble friend (Lord Aberdeen) remained at the head of the foreign department of the government. Bat this misfortune of the noble viscount who now filled that office, and this altered tone between the governments of England and France, was not single, extencling, uit did, to another measure against which they were told the British government had entered a formal protest—the annexation of Cracow. It was said that that measure was at variance with the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna; yet be was not sure that good grounds might not be shown, by the example of former treaties, and even of this treaty of Vienna, for the violation of stipulations incorporated in a subsequent treaty. provided that violation met with the consent of all the parties consenting to the original treaty. He would suspend upon the subject a positive opinion until be saw the papers . and he hoped the government se.uld lay before the house, not only the protest after the fact, but any explanation that might have been offered by those three powers ' or that her Majesty's government might have received from their diplomatic agent', to enable them to take steps previous to the accomplishment of the fact. He now approached • subject infinitely more interest ing to the well-being of this country. lie referred to that awful visitation which had afflicted the sister inland from one end to the other, and of which he believed no ex aggeration could in men, instances exceed the dreadful reality. (Hear, hear.) For the palliation of present suffer ing, and the prevention of future misery, and for the pur pose of rescuing the country from the guilt of knowingly permitting a large portion of its population to starve, he was sure that there was no sacrifice and no effort which her Ma jesty's government could call upon the country to make which would not be cheerfully responded to by the members of that house, and by the representatives of the people. He was aware th at the extent of that visitation came upon the government by surprise, and, under such circumstances, he knew the difficulty of obtaining in Ireland socurate and trustworthy information. He knew, too, that notwithstand ' ing the best exertions of the government, they could not prevent local abuse. He bad no wish to speak disrespect fully of the gentry of Ireland; but of this he was con vinced, that the administration of relief, especially when it came from the public purse required on the part of th e go vernment a degree of wat chfulness and care which would not be required in this or almost any other country. He was not there to embarrass the government by any captions objections to the measures they had adopted for the relief of Ireland in its present difficulty. That great errors had been committed he required no more than the speeches of the mover and seconder of the address to prove. The Labour Rate Act for instance was a great blunder—preventing as it did those land lords who were so disposed from employing their capital in • manner most advantageous to themselves and their tenantry, and compelling them to apply it to the filling up of ironerceptible hollows and the lowering of invisible hills —the effect being that large sums of money were absolutely squandered 'n the process of mae'ng the face of the country impassable. This was no exaggeration, and he made the remark in no captious spirit. He readily admitted that govern ment on et well in the difficulty iq not enllina paths ment together, and that the Lord Lieutenant had exercised a s...und discretion in taking upon himself the responsibility /Z c~ui l 'c of remedying the diets of that ad, although in doing es he exceeded the powers of the law; for which, liowever, there wa• no doubt that part .ament would grant him an iudemoity. If there was a point upon which the government had not acted up to the heavy reapoissihillty with which they were charged, he would say it was in not having established depots for provisions, to be inued to the people of Ireland at a rate that would guarantee the puh!ic from any luso, with out at the same time interfering with free and fair comp.- tition. No one would dream of the government under taking to feed the whole of the people, or to sell food at leas than its fair value; but by adopting depots they would not have afforded a supply themselves, but gives rise to another supply, by the opening of large stores, already filled with provisions, and there detained for speculative purposes. There wax no effort that the government could make which he was sure would not be cheerfully respondeil to by that house and the country*, • alleviating this overwhelming calamity. He had no doubt . that the transfer of a large portion of corn had been checked by the want of sufficient tonnage to bring it to this country . under the existing laws; and he did not think that any general opposition would be made to a proposition for enlitg ing the amount of our tonnage be the temporary relaxation at the navigat ion laws. With regard to the temporary abolition of the existing duty of 4s. on corn, which the nphle mover of the addreeseeemed to think was contemplated by the government, he would ask whether it was likely that by such a measure the supril of corn would be in the slightest degree increased or diminished, and whether pro (onto the indispotable effect would not be to deprive the revenue of what it at present gained from that duty, which, according to his noble friend, would pass into the pockets of the foreign producer. He did not know if the proposition respecting sugar was intended to be permanent or temporary ; but be apprehended, that permitting sugar to be used in distilleries and breweries without previous notice, could not but have the efftea of raising the price of that artiee, the necessity for cheapening which was affirmed by parliament last session ; and would also have the effect of stimulating the great body of the agriculturists, by inflicting upon them further injury, to demand a repeal of the malt-tax. Otheiqueotions were alluded to in the speech so vaguely that it was impossible to notice them. !wand wan said to be now free from political excitement; but he questioned whether when the landed gentry were in a state of pauperism and the peasantry starving, was the best time for considering the social evils of the country, and the remedies that it was best to apply to them. If the remedies promised by the government would have the effect anticipated in the royal speech, be could only say, that no man in the country mould more heartily rejoice at their introduction. (Hear, bear.) But in whatever steps the government might take he trusted they would not deal to extravagant promises, and hold out hopes that the whole burden of Irish pant:orient would be thrown on this country, but that they would pro ceed on the two maxims, first, that the pee* must not be permitted to starve ; and secondly, that the pauperism of Ireland must be provided for by the land. (Hear, heir.) Re trusted also that they would take into their councils, in dealing with this question, those who were, by experience, best conversant with the actual state of the country—the landlords of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Though he had not on all occasions stood forward as the defender of that body, he thought, that in the present crisis, the measure of abuse had fallen upon them in the inverse proportion to their merits. pellet& =Orem immeritus. There never was a time when the landlords of Ireland, as a body, were more desirous to do their almost for the relief of the starving people around them : there never was a time when they were less inclim ii to deny their duties as proprie tors of the soil. It must not be forgotten that the Irish landlord was placed in a very different position from that of the landed proprietor in England. The greater the control over the property of which be was the possessor, the weightier was the responsibility attaching to the rights of the proprie tor. If in this country the land was divided into small hold ings, as it was in Ireland ; if the tenantry were, for the most part, pauperised, and incapable of effecting any improvement themselves, while they refused to concur in any arrange ments which should give to the landlord the slightest interest or return for any capital he might expend to improve their holdings, and benefit their condition ; if in this coun try custom and feeling united in encouraging the tenant to impoverish and ruin the property of his landlord, so long as he paid a rent, however inadequate that rent might he in comparison with the real value; if, in this country, so long as the tenant possessed an absolute right to remain on the pro perty, impeding every improvement, and refuting, as had been the case in many instances in Ireland, to pay Is. more rent for a commodious and comfortable house, than he did for the hovel in which he was content to dwell, refusing all improvement, and maintaining a hold by public opinion which prevented the landlord removing him—if such was the position of property here, would any person avert that it . was the duty, or that it was possible to expect the landlord to improve that property, or expend his capital upon it ? Yet, with regard to Ireland, he could state from his own knowledge, that such was the condition upon which many . landlords, who had exerted themselves liberally and nobly to better the condition of their tenants by expending their capital upon improvements, held their property. (Hear, hear.) It won impossible to contend that, under such cir cumstances, the property of Ireland had devolving upon it the same duties, while it did not possess the same rights, as the proprietors claimed and exercised in this more fortunate country. He had to implore their lordships, in any mea sures they might be called upon to adopt, or in whatever ' macrifices they might have to call upon the landlords of Ireland to make, not to venture upon any ra.h or ' hasty step—or, indeed, to take any step without a due ; consideration of all the circumstances in which they were placed, or call upon them for any exertions which were beyond the possibility of their means—or call for exertions beyond the means of those parties who might be disposes?to ' embark capital in works that would afforl employment for ' labour, and at the same time tend to the permanent im provement of the country. (Hear.) He held that the ' great object in regard to Ireland was to facilitate and en courage the introduction and employment of capital into that country. To the want of steady employment—the want of any class depending upon wages as the primary source of their daily subsistence, was to be attributed that clinging to ' land as the sole means of living which was the parent of the misery and wretchedness which prevailed, and which was the great bar to improvement. (Hear.) He believed there were parties, as public companies, who, under proper en couragement and sufficient security, would be willing to de ' vote their own capital to the execution of works , which, if extended over the country, would afford employment to large numbers of the people, and, at the same time, per manently improve the country; and if their lordships would encourage the introduction of capital in this way, making themselves responsible for its safe investment, so far only as public security and public faith went, they would confer an inestimable and extensive boon upon Ireland, and supply that deficiency of capital which wan so much wanted, and induce ' its application to an extent which might excite in the minds ' of the people a desire for permanent employment for wages, which desire he was convinced in some way or other they must excite, foster and promote, if it led, their object to do anything for the social good of the country. He would not occupy their lordehips with any detail of the measures by which, in his view, such objects should be carried out—he merely threw out the suggestion for the consideration of the government ; and, apologising for the time he had detained their lordahips,he would repeat what he said at the beginning, that he was quite satisfied that in legislating for the welfare of Ireland the present government, provided they excluded these religious and political controversies which had so long distract ed that country, and made it the battle-field of par ties, and honestly laboured for its social improvement and permanent welfare, he was satisfied that all distinetione of party would merge, and all other considerations—all con aiderations as to what party should the merit belong of pro posing and carrying such measures would be lost, and they might rely on the cordial co-operation and **detainee of those who now formed the opposition. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that ea it would be his duty, in a few days, to lay before their lord ships complete and perfect information on the two great subjects of inquiry to which the noble lord bad alluded, M., the circumstances that had occurred—no' to endanger the peace of this country and Europe—their, hear)—but in some measure to affect our foreign relation. and those which re lated to the state of Ireland ; he was relations, now induced by some casual observations of the noble lord's to offer a few words in explanation aa to the latter and most interesting of ' those topics. The noble lord, while promising to give his most favourable attention to the measures government might propose, had cast some censure upon ministers, in re ' gard to those swum which they had adopted to meet the evil in the Ant Instance. The noble lord should remember that those measures were adopted under a different state of eireumstanate to those with which, now, they lied to deal. The noble lord, be understood, did not disapprove of the pro posed measure for facilitating the importation of foreign corn. He would not now go into the nice arid diffi cult question as to where the profits of that importa tion would rest. It was passible that some part might go to the producer; but the question was not who would derive the greatest amount of the profit, but how they could add to the amount of human food under one of the most terrible visitations that had occurred ;—(hear, bear)—and if every shilling_ of the milt went into the hands of the foreign grower of all the grain imported during the six months ensuing, he should be prepared to urge that measure on the adoption of their lordships. (Cheers.) In the present state of the trade there was in fact a premium to ships to take corn from New Orleans and Odessa to other couatries instead of bringing it to our ports, and that at a time when five or six dhotis of people in Ireland, deprived of their habitual food, the potato, were made wholly de pendent on corn for sustenance until the next harvest. With regard to the use of sugar and molames in brewing and dis tilling, that he undenitood was not intended by his noble friend to be permanent, and the noble lord would find that though at was not put in the shape of a tem porary mason, it would not be to the interest of the parties themselves that it should be permanent. The proposed alteration in the navigation laws was also in tended to be temporary, to facilitate the introduction of corn into this country. It was proposed, therefore, to suspend those laws so far as they related to corn, as well as all other laws restricting the free import of that article until some day to be named, and which should depend on the comingon of the next harvest. With regard to the Irish measures generally, as on an early day they would be brought before parliament, he would not further refer to them at present. With respect to the non-introduction of food into Ireland, he could assure the house that if the mercantile interest had not been enured against anything like compe tition on the part of the government (except in any extreme case) they would not have acted es they had done, in throwing in supplies. Alluding to the Spanish mar time, the Marquis of Lansdowne said that there had been no change of policy when the present government came into office; and even at the present moment he was not prepared to state that there was any im pediment to such a good understanding between England and Frame es was neoweary to the interests of both , •ountries. (Hear, bear.) With the assurance of the noble lord (Staaley) that to the measures of goserianaut there would be no vexatious opposition offered, he (the (19?)
