El ramp) says, that it is remarkable that in the late meeting of Moderado deputies no one took the defence of the ministry, although its i hseilakls fall was fretineetly mentioned. The ministry cannot find a practicable candidate for the Presidency of the Chamber. It results from all this that the ' , cabinet is morally dissolved. The question of the' Presidency of the Chamber will, probably, decide ita fate. The only question is, whether it will be totally dissolved, or only patched up. We incline to think its fall will be complete. The Bee del Cbmmercio asks the Cabinet if it is not aware that a Montemoliuist junta is organised at London, and that in consequence of its operations re bellion will be declared simultaneously in different parts of the country ? that emissaries had arrived to make preparations and enlist partisans? that Ca brera and Tort:laden were hidden in the Maixtrango ; Oep, Zorilla, and Tristan in Catalonia; Alger, Zaria tequi, and others, in the Baquc provinces' and that considerable remittances bad been made by bills in favour of these individuals on the houses of Destroga and Carta, of Bayonne, and of Durand and Co., of Perpignan. The Madrid mail of the 18th was due in Paris on Sunday, but had not been delivered at the hour of closing our despatches. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— AR widest, attended with fatal consequences, occurred ofteracon at Southall elation, to the 4 o'clock and the express train due at Paddingtos at halionst 4 o'clock. It appears that the tire of one of the expiate engine-wheels broke in passing Southall, and threw the wiine with the 4 o'clock train (which was approaching at the thee) of the line, entered a second-class carriage at awietrvek a lbst-elass carriage la the express, killing two suser4dos psamengen, and injuring others. COMMERCIAL ef MARKETS. MONEY MAIIXET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Haft-paa 2leo.—The reading of the ministerial' epeeehes in both houses of parliament on the state of Ireland, and the means by which existing and prospective necessities are to be provided for, or guarded asminst, produced a fa vourable effect on the stock-market this morning. The first prices of Consols were only 91 to I for money, and 911 to 1 for amount. But the epcanee of some considerable buyers shortly a ft erwards to tell upon prices, which went up to 911 for account. 'he market, not withstanding, had little of the real vigour of vitality about it, for, on the cessation of the purchases, Consuls again de clined, as if from tiso weight of the forebodings that all was not so promising in the ministerial exposition as first read. The quotations are now &premed to 91 for money, and 911 to 1 for account. The courage of speculation appear. to be exclusively with the operators for the fall in prigs, for it will be seen that every reactionary advance is a prelude only to greater deprtssion of prices still. It was supposed the announcement that the treasury could manage without a loan, or even an extraor dinary issue of Exchequer Bill., would have strongly tended to ranimate confidence and re-i stablish prism, who is indeed was the rose for a abort time, but the easviction again pre vails that, with the heavy drain of money for Iceland, it cannot long be possible to postpone recourse to either the one or the other financial operation.

Four o'clock. : In the House of Lords, yesterday, the standing ceders being dispensed with to meet the exigency, the earn Importation Suspension of Duties Bill, and the Navigation Laws Suspension Bill were passed through their remaining stages. The Marquis of Lansdowne brought the state of Ireland under the notice of their lordships, which led to a protracted debate. Lord Stanley noticed the several propositions submitted by the government, but declined discussing them at large till all the details were fully before the house. Ile was satisfied the proposed measures would meet with no factious or captious opposition, but, on the contrary, receive a fair and candid ooneide ration. Lord Brougham also reserved his opinion on many important details, but expressed him- Self decidedly in favour of extending the English poor-law to Ireland; modifying it, how ever, where its provisions had been found to work oppressively. The Earls of Desert, Devon, Roden. Fitzwilliam, and Monntcashel, the Marquis of West theath, Earl Grey, Lord Monteagle, and the Marquis of Clanricardo having spoken in general approval of the proposed measures, the Marquis of Lansdowne's motion was agreed to. In the House of Commons, Lord John Russell also et forward his motion on the state of Ireland, s, opposition of moment, either as regards what as government have done, or what they pro to Odin reference to that subject, was interl Mr. Primal, Mr. Bellew, Sir H. Inglis, Mr. Hume. and lir. Stafford O'Brien approved in the main of the plans of government. —Lord Lincoln thought it ad visable to postpone discussion.—Mr. Roebuck dis sented from some of the views expressed by Lord him Russell.—Lord G. Bentinck would not at M seime express a decided opinion. He was in sdvancesfor the construction of railways, and if propose a measure on the subject, not end but auxiliary to the government plans. en leave was granted to Lord J. Russell iring is his bills, which he said would not be ready for a first reading before Friday. ' Our foreign express arrived this morning. The Paris journals of Sunday contain nothing which clan offer much interest to the English reader. nit ambers had no aeration on Saturday and the presented their address, and receiveethe usual at the Tuileries at eight o'clock on Saturday Wowing : • The wench government is directing its attention to the regulation of its commercial relations with China. M. Forth-Rouar is appointed Envoy and Chargr d'Affaires at Canton; M. Lefebvre de &'court Celasul at Manilla • and M. de Montigny at Shang-Hai, on the no r thern coast of China. Th is is a newly-created consulship. Shang-Hai is the principal port of Kiangsou, one of the richest povuices of the Celestial Empire, of which Nanking is the capital. The richness of this province has conferred on it the traditional name of the " para dise of China." The disturbances arising from the dearness of pro visions have been in some measure checked in the department of the Indre and the central provinces; but 'sillthe holders of corn continue in many places to be seemed, and are compelled to twilit at half the market peepsAn &wile broke out at Rouen on Friday, in of the embarkation of two ship-loads of Oslo= for England, which was accelerated by the raadon against exportation coming into operation day ar two. The populace interposed to prevent , potatoes from being embarked, and had carried rg some„ 10 or 20 sac k s before their proceedings pore arrested by the interposition of the authorities. The municipal guard and troops of the line soon, however, restored order. Notwithstanding the large demand at Marseilles ier the supply of the interior, prices have not con siderably rits n. This is owing to the large arrivals which continually take place. The announcement of the new law for facilitating importation has already produced its effect. Many mercantile houses have lent considerable orders for the purchase of grain one house alone is named whose orders will freight not less than forty ships. On the 18th the approach of a fleet, consisting of 100 to 150 ships was an nounced, and its arrival was expected next day. Thirty-five thousand barrels of American flour ar rived at Havre during the last two days, being only part of 100,000 barrels expected. "Wo receive," says Le Journal du Harre, " numerous carves of grain, and our quays are loaded with aliment: 17 pro. rime The Emperor of Russia has conferred on M. Le %crier tke cross of St. Stanislaus (2(1 class). Advices were received by the government on Sen a.' from Spain that Montemolimst bands had openly collected in the Basques provinces, being supplied with money and arms from England. On the re ceipt of this news, an extraordinary courier was des- Patched from the Hotel of Foreign Affairs to London, with instructions, it was said, to the ambassador in London to demand explanations of Lord Palmerston. The committee on the address met at two o'clock on Sunday, when it was expected that the project would be adopted. The Spanish mail, bringing letters and ,journals from Madrid of flit 17th instant, was received in Paris Loa on Saturday afternoon. M. :Martinez de la Rosa had, on the 17th, a long catterence with MM. Isturitz and Mon. It is certain that he has refused to be put forward as a ministerial candidate for the presidency of the representative chamber. It was said that the ministry desired to RAILWAYS.—The market opened favourably, and for some time the dealings were active at the improvement a yesterday ; but, dace the decline of prices in the funds, the stock market has become heavy. 6.ILES EFFECTED UP TO TWO TIIIS DAY IN LONDON.

In other articles no alteration. TALLOW.—The market has become quiet, and Easy be quoted 6d. lower than this day week. This is chiefly owing to the operations of the Bank in raising dis counts. The demand, which is good, being freely met, we may look for good deliveries and a very small stock in April ; and as no arrivals of any consequence can take place till August, it is impossible to know how high priers may rule before the knit. period.

For Yesterday's .tlarkots see ,aa page. 020fe There was in foreign the last few weeks, and which had INCealiit ated the measures now proposed. The cue was new very different. Great, urgent, and general distress prevailed in France, Holland, Belgium, and throughout Germany. The prices of corn at Bane, Antwerp, and London, were nearly upon an equal ity ; so that the existing . U. duty might operate as a certain prohibition against the importation of eons to this country, Particularly when France lied suspended her navigation aws, and the duty on foreign corn was only equivaleut to about sixpence a quarter. In such a state of thinr, to retain our ditty on the importation of grain, would be really to hold out an advantsge N those competing with us in the neutral markets of the world. If an American meretra.t found the prices equal in London and Antwerp, he wood naturally take his corn to the place where there wee no duty ; but if our duty of M. was re moved, be would not.besitate a moment to go Tither to Lon don or Liverpool. It was said, this measure would not benefit the consumers, but only that much-abused class—the dealer—whom he considered as public benefactors, to whose ' activity and energy, in times like three, nil were greatly , in debted. But tnis would only apply to the corn now in band, which amounted, incloding Hoer, to 280,000 quarters, nn which the duty would be abut 50,0001. This would be so far an advantage to the dealers ; but the consumers would get the corn ; and it was better that the dealers should reap any amount of profit than that whole cargoes of grain should be diverted from our shores, and even the corn in our wire homes reiexpo. led, and the sufferings of multitudes ague rated. The navigation laws, at this moment, operated very injuriously on our already limited means of procuring sup- Gies. By these burs, uo produce of any description could brought here, except In British vowels, or w.seels of the country whenc- the produce came. The principal or only markets to which we now looked for supplies of grain were Odessa and the United States, whence grain could only be brought in Russian, American, and Briti h vessels. But in the Mediterranean there were no Russian vessels, all the trade being conducted by Greek and French ships; and the number of British vein-Is was very small, being only 48 out of the 520 loading at Odessa with corn. All the Mediter ninean vessels were employed in carrying corn to the ports of France; and a the first four days of this year, vessels of 3,700 tons aggregate burden, arrived with grain at Marseille*, none of which would come here, owing to our navigation laws. In like manner, if American grain or flour were taken to Dutch or French ports, and the prices io England were ouch as to induce the owners of the corn to send it here, our navigation laws would absolutely prohibit it. From Odessa, freights were now 14s. • quarter, the usual rate being 10s. • from Trieste 155., the usual rate be ing 10s. ; end f rom the United States 15s, and ss. 6d. per barrel for flour, the tasted rate being Bs., and 3s. and Is. 81. And even at these rates, vessels wore with great difficulty obtained, the American government hating taken up all they could procure to convey stores and provisions to the army in Mexico. This, of course, created great disturb ance in the ordinary traneactions of trade, and raised the freights of cotton and all other merchandise. British vessels saw had been induced, by these freights, to make long voy ages; and the consequence was, great expense. in transporting provisions at home. The ordinary freight for a quarter a wheat from London to Cork was la. 3d. ; it had been as low as Bd.; now it was 3s. fel treble the usual amount. One benefit to be anticipated from the suspension of the naviga. tion laws was, that more British easels would be disengaged, and might be employed in the coasting trade, whereby - the cost of sending prorisions to Ireland would be lessened. He did not fluter himself that any great benefit would neult from the remoyal of these restrictions; but if larger imports tions,—nay, if a single importation,—ensued,•--or if the' prices were prevented from rising higher, (and that was the e Toot mainly looked at,) we should be in so much better a situation. At all events, their lordships would hare lins tatixfaction of knowing that they bad done all in their power to mitigate the evils under which the country was suffering, and they would be without the reproach of having aggravated them. Lord BROUGHAM said that, es he bad intimated the other day, he should not offer any opposition to the course now proposed to be taken. The Marquis of SALISBURY said aothere was no princi ple involved in the measures before the house, which were merely to meet a temporary emergency, he did not feel called upon to oppcee them, though ho dissented from much that the noble earl had id with reference to the navigation laws. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL said, that knowing the state in which the people of Ireland were placed, he highly approved of those measures; and he thought that every noble lord of proper feelings must be disposed to support them. Hai these measures been of a permanent nature, be should have felt it hie duty to oppose them ; hut, as remedi.a or palliatives for a temporary distress, he entirely approved , of them. The bill was then read a eceond time; and the standing orders of the house being suspended, the question that the house do go into onno.ittee on the bill was put and nega tired ; and the bill was then read a third time and passed. The same course was pursued with the Navigation Laws Suspension Bill, which was also Yam d. STATE OF IRELAND. The Hamraa of LANBDOWNE raid he rope in pursu ance of the notice he had given. to move for certain papers relating to the distress prevailing in Ireland, aho for the correspondence that hail taken place between the govern ment In Ireland and the beard of worka and other officers. Though the motion was one to which no objection could he made, one, in fact, of mere form,—out of respect to their lordships and to Ireland, he would take this early oppertu. nitv of making some statements relative to the measixes which had been adopted to mitigate, as far as possible, the unhappy state of things there prevailing, and also to those mea sures, which, instructed by the experience of the put, and made more and more aware. as the MOOD had advanced, of the magnitude of the evil they had to con tend with, her Majesty's government proposed to submit, within the shortest possible period, to the attention of parlia ment. If this statement, short as he would endeavour to make it, did not prove wearisome to their lordships, it i could only be from the deep 'and melancholy interest I which every one of them felt in a subject of this descrip tion. It would be worse than useless to attempt to deceive themselves as to the magnitude of the evil with which the were threatened ; that evil had unhappily manifested itse lf in oolours too Krone, and in facts too notorious, to leave any doubt that we had to struggle with the greatest calamity that had ever fallen en any country in civilised Europe. There might have been such calamities in oriental countries, of which we read poetical descriptions; but within that period of history the facts of which we were accurately sequsinted with, there had never been a date of things in which the sustenance of the people had been se rapidly and almost entirely swept away. As unwise would it be to attempt to deceive themselves with res pect to the magnitude of the evil, a., in a war or an invasion, to underrate the power, numbers, or resources of the enemy. He would state what, according to the best calculation. that could be formed, was the amount of loss in Ireland. Taking a valuation of 10/. per acre for potatoes, and 31. 10s. for oats, the deficit in money 'mounted in potatois to 11,350,000 t. in oats, to 4,600,0001 ; in all 16,000,0001. In weight between eight and nine millions of tons of pota toes had been destroyed; and the loss had been equivalent to the absolute destruction of 1,500,000 arable acres. Two obvious considerations arose from the statements of the,. facts. The calniniry was one which, as a dispensation of Providence, we were bound to submit to, and to en deavour, as for as practicable, to alleviate ; but it was one to which, in the noun* of things, it was imporile to apply • complete and direct remedy. The other consideration which would not fail to impress itself on all acquainted with the history and dee of society in that country, wee, that great as the calamity would have been in any country in the world, there were circumstance' in the habits and the simat'on of the people of Ireland which aggravated its weight and measure upon them, and deprived them to a greater de gree than any other people could be deprived of any means of relief, by taking refuge in other sustenance, or in different habits from those to which they had been accustomed. Out of times considerations arose another, which he hoped would be general—that whatever disposition there might have been to cast blame in particular quarters, there was no person, nor body of persons to whom the weight of this calamity eonld ' be justly attributed. lie stated this, because many persons said the conduct of the landlords of that country had con tributed to proluce the calamity which all deplored. Whether any blame might attach to the landlords of Ireland more than to a similar class in any other country, he would venture to say that there was nothing within their reach as a body, no effort that they could have made at any period within the last ten locally by boards of guardians—ii . was doubtful whe ther these efforts would have been sufficient to avert such a calamity as • scarcity of food. True that it was in the power of the government to abstract food from one place and to carry it to another ; or to take money from one man's pocket and put it into the pocket of another man • but by none of t hem means could they produce what was wanted, vie., a supply of food adequate to the wants of 8,000,000 ofpeople deprived of the lowest description of the food on which they had been accustomed to live. Supposing the question had been one of money, he (the Marquis of Lenselowne)was prepared to say that there was 00 sum which it would not have been the duty of the sneers. ment to propose to parliament to grant for the extinction, if possible, of so great an evil, but if the governmeut bad applied 10000,0001. to that purpose, would it bare been ado. quote ? Did those persons who stated objections sod °pis irons as to the conduct of the government remember that every action of the government in aquestion of this sort, to instant it was known, would add incredibly to the difficulty, end would produce an artificial plenty for the moment, bat within the next week or month would increase the scarcity? (Hew.) If 10,000,0001. had been applied, before that mum Reald have been brought into operative, or poured into those Markets whence corn is brought, prices would have risen, sad they would have been told that 20,000,0001. were neces sary, and before th it amount could be applied, they would have been told that 40,000,000/. were wanted, 40C31111C the miry moment the action of the government, es a powerUl tr, was known in the markets of the country or in , no otter purchaser could contend against them, and ough they might obtain a supply of corn for the mo ment, yet the effect of such a course would be to raise prices, and the scarcity would become infinitely greater than it was before. It was universally admitted that a government was the worst of cultisators, the worst of manufacturer', and the worst of feeders, and yet this course, suggested by soma, weld have converted the government into one or other of these characters ; and he must say, both with respect to the beta and the present government, nothing could have Justified their going as purchaser, into any market, while, on the other hand, the extreme prudence and asserve with which they had gone into the different mu latto without exciting any degree of attention or alarm, and without diverging the natural current of trade, could alone be depended upon in times either of plenty or of scarcity. (Hear, hear) With this brief statement he should now plowed to describe the course pursued to mitigate the dis- Mee when it arose, and when its magnitude increased towards the close of the year; and after that, to state what amended measures the government intended to propose with a view to the amelioration of the condition of the Irish people. Their lordship. would recollect that at the close of the last session the government did not allow parliament to separate without makiug a prdviston which the mover= at thought must relieve a considerable portion of the distress which was theu apprehended; that measure proved at the time, as hr believed, some alleviation to the existing distress, but he must now admit that from the magnitude of the evil with which it had to ettubet—from the more extended operation of that act in different parts of Ireland which bad produced a greater number of presentments for public work, than could ?lave been expected, and to an extent which had been attended with many evil consequences, which their lordships would do well to bear in mind, when they came to consider the measures now intended to be proposed; it had failed. (Hear.) That measure had been intended as a sort of bridge, by which to pus over to the harvest time of another year, ad it had been adopted without the least expectation on the yarns of any man that the succeeding harvest would he so I entire a failure as to be three time* worse than the' of the I pneseding years The Labour Rate Act undoubtedly owned ups principles which, in • permanent mea- Mee PA ma e.uld give bit assent to. Under these ebeemetemeas be (the Marquis of Lansdowne) felt no nor- piled the sentiment peon:illy eapreseed in Ireland in the last! autumn, that the advances of public money which ought to be administered only for purposseof relief should also be adminis tered for pure omsof effecting useful private works where a, useful public works could be found. On this subject appli cations were made to the government of Ireland, and the lord-lieutenant, with the sanction of the government of England, had authorized under what was called Mr. La bosschtre's letter, an extension of the principle of the act of last session, and by means of this extension bodies of proprie tor' applying for electoral divisions, and for those adrenals de works of a useful hut private character, had their appii- Isamu acceded to. These applications had however nut base made to the extent which had been expected, and therefore under the act of last session, end its extensium by Mr. Labouthcre's It tter, though a great amount of relief bad been afforded, neither measure had sac onwiell in effecting any beneficial improvement's Her lertl's government had, however, not confined themselves et of parliament, and the endeavour to extend its pro visions in the way which had bees stated. Relief committees, with their concurrence, had been established in every part ef t Idol- of these, 960 had, in a greater or less degree, ro. idled Ss sountenance and pecuniary resistance of the govenuesent. They had also fulfilled the engageme its they made with the merchants and trade'. of the City of London Let year not to interfere with the foreign trade, and yet they had been active in purchasing, quietly and saf ely, such an amount of provisions as mislit enable them to make depot. IL or places. They had done this without interfering the regular current of trade, end without producing the Abet in very remote places of raising an exorbo Yet meant of pnce. Her Majesty's government had she furnished all the assistance in their power by opening public raffia for grinding corn, and thus to ensure • regular, Mastant, and cheaper supply to the people. Again, though the admiralty could not interfere with the rejrular course of ilisulw trade, yet so far as related to the distribution of food, tin WIM of that board had been instant and successful. Mawr Idtchens had also been established tey the donations of bailers, and other means found in the military stores which had been placed at the disposal of relief committees. (Hear, bear.) auch had been the efforts made up to the present Moment; and he had now to state to their lordships ill what way the government proposed to administer Inure relief under the present constitution of society in Ire ' bad. To continue in their present extended scale the whole eras works which had been commenced, or to add to their member if no ether source of employment could be found, warald, he was sure, appear to their lordships to be, if not Impracticable, unwise, and attended with most misc.hievons at unfortunate consequences, inasmuch as it deterred the FM* from engaging and persevering in that labour to tbir,h they were accustomed, namely, the cultivation of (s 4 own soil. (lies:, hear ) The . feet of the establish ant of these works, from which the people could gain their l aakeieteace out of the public money, had been such, that the most fertile lands were now not cull ' Mai& The only means of limiting the desire to take the labour on public works, had been by adopting a system of task-work. This system, though pro ductive of • great amount of work done, had been attended with much mischief, because under it only the best labourers were employed, while the only labour accessible to the pro prietors of the soil was of an inferior character, so that the public works monopolized good labour. He was convinced that to ensure a foundation for the good-being of inland, it must be established and founded ore sound principles for the improvement of the land. The indiveluel proprietor was the best judge of what works ought to be done, and of the means by which they ought to be effect d. He was the belt able to select the labour and machinery by which he would carry out improvements, and he was the indi vidual who bad the deepest interest in the success of the plena. In proportion, therefore, as it was possible through the medium of the individual proprietors to call forth a great amount of active exertion and of labour into existence, to an equal amount would the prosperity and benefit of the whole country be increased. If so, he was sanguine enough to hope, that by the measure about to be proposed every proprietor would, if he chose, be placed in a position to give a very great amount of employment on works most beneficial to himself and to the country at large, and that they would prove, Rot merely a temporary ellen*. tion, but a permanent remedy for the evils of Ireland, by securing, not only for this year, but for years to come, the steady, regular, constant, and well-understood application of large sums of money for the purple of promoting the best interests of that country. (Hear, hear, hear.) With this view it was proposed to give a further development to the former act, and that every landed proprietor who I should think fit to carry on any improvements, should, if a substantial improvement, receive a loan, for which he should ' pay into r.st at the rate of 31 per cent. for the next 22 years, P eu reca rried uti o 7l tO bei rife tak renaaa ea to e llecu tt ilo re pr t o h v e nn ir e p a r t o o T t n S7 U Tß7e i" Of 1 the estate.

Those means were in their nature slow ; and if the proprtetare of land in that 411111Istry were charged, as they had been, with not effseting at thee a great alteration in the economy of the country, ft elnisild be remembered that, had they sought to effect that aeration by the only mean. which the law put in their heads, it would have been by the exercise of a power un anabtedly belonging to them. but which no one wisbed tome marched, and the exercise of which would have subjected them to much blame and reproach. The most effectual way delaying this, in an economical setae, would hive been by clearing their estate* ; but this step would have ben at tended with an amount of misery, blame, and unhappiness, which no ore would hare lightly encountered. The econo mical improvement of the country was only to be effected by slow degrees; for, while the process of clear ing had .commenced, and gone on to a certain degree in many ports of the country, those by whom it had been effected bad become the objects of overwhelming dissatisfaction. If that had been the case with regard to the proprietors of the cal—if they bad not been able by any effort of their own to ward off so heavy and so id.n a blow—equally was it true that it was impossible ter any government to prevent the great evils which had befallen the unhappy populatipn of that coati- enabled to obtain a lean to the gone way, and on the norm terms, as the proprietor of a femaimple estate. Both would be charged interest at the rate of 3t pm cent., paying off the loan by instalments. If, however, the borrower was desirous of paying a higher rate and not repayirg, the advance would be made, he paying ei per cent. Powers would also be rivet to landed proprietors to sell some portion of the it estates for the purple of paying off advances made to effect the improvement of the same a the remaining portico. This message he hoped would have a moat rapid effect in meeting the exigencies which now existed in Ireland • bat the government did not mean to confine itee.f to that measure alone. In the case of works undertaken under what was caned Mr. Labouchere's latter, it would only be an act of fairnesm that proprietors who bad undertaken them should have facilities afforded them to ITAiI themselves of the more advantageous terms presented by the intended bill, and to make them subject only to the payment of three.and-a-half pr, cent. Though drainage and other works would be superintended by the proprietors themselves, yet there were many pee vote estates, end combination of estates, on which improvements would be more effectually carried out under the superintendence of the Board of Works. It was proposed with regard to loans. which, if they were independent, would bear interest at 31 per cent., in the' event of any knot of proprietor, combining to obtain sasioance from the Bout of Works, and co-operating to bear the charge, should be advanced upon payment of 4 per cent. (es we understood.) The general result of these two measure* would he, that there need not be one proprietor in Ireland, be his situation what it might, whether what was celled rich, or what was called comparatively poor, who would not be enabled, if he thought proper, at once to net in action a large amount of labour, and he (Lord Laos • downe) did not think no ill of the proprietor. of Ireland but thee with such facilities made acceseible to them, and with the incitement derived from the occurrence. of the last few months. and the prospects of years to come, the." would with few exceptions universally vail themselves of t fimc which would result to a very great extent at no distant time in creating an active system of labour, and supply that demand for labour which in the present state of Ireland they were not able by ordinary mean:, and in consequence ' the habits of the people, to afford. In hie (Lord Lam '.) opinion, this was the most important =leisure the -t could pro , and one in which he 11:1 4 1, • et. Oltemeweee 'Mee hate to ea tad4lehtee te :Vin that It WAS coin thM from system of employment under he -tithe works undertaken by the Board of Works to ~gars, and cossidering the scarcity of food and the difficultywhich would arise from this intermediate state, that public relief should be afforded by temporary measures. As the public works dropped off, and other labour was not ready, many pumas must depend on public charity for sup port, which it was impossible, in the present state of Ireland, to afford. A bill would therefore be brought in, sanctioning for a limited period the distribution of food to persons wholly destitute, or who are unable to obtain it. This would he done by what was called the workhouse test, "leo-that it should not he given to those who could gain admittance into the workhouse, or had any means of maintenance; but where persons could not get into the work house, were in a state of destitution, and could get no em ployment or food, food should be distributed to them through the most cheap and beneficial medium. A new relief committee would be appointed, whose duty it would he to superintend much relief to persons who were purely destitute, and who could not gain admittance into the workhouse. The money for Olio purpose would be raised by means of a rate, only one half of which would be paid by the place where it was levied, and the other half by the gum rnmeet This was to be only • temporary measure to cover the misery and desti tution which might, more or hoe, intervene between the embedding of the public work, and them which it was hoped Individ eel enterprise would put in action. it weenie° iutended to furnish loins of another kind. One most important object was as far as pomible to provide for the production of the future harvest, there being an apprehension that due measures were not being taken for that purpose. This arose from the indisposition of the labourer to cultivate the land, but oftener from his poverty and that of the small land owner, which prevented his affording subsistence to the labourer while so employed, and the difficulty of providing the seed which was indispensable. It was proposed, therefore, to advance sums of money at three end is-hall per cent. to be repaid at the end of the year, after the harvest, to such persona as wished to avail themtelves of it and only on the security of Vie crop, so as to ensure their having any crop atoll. Having adverted to the inferior measures which were intended to meet the transition of labour by the diecontinuance at public works, he would now resume the consideration ot those which were more permanent. Ile would here roll attention to that which had been a subject of frequent in quiry by commiesions, by committees, and made matter of observation inept eche. in both homes of parliament, but which had never assumed a practical shape—vie., the reclamation of waste lands. It had been again and again stated that there existed in Ireland a great amount of waste land, capable of being employed for labour and agricultural par +. He believed the amount was mutat rated, nor did he hold out that a measure founded on that statement would he likely to have a large and decisive effect. (Hear, hear.) But, still considering that many persons were conviceed by personal observation that there were woo', lands capable of cultivation, it was thought advisable that a measure should he introduced. enabling the worriment to purchase reclaim able wants lands, and by which it was proposed to improve, ea as to establieh a source for labour, and an example to the country, as had been done with et portion of the crown lands. This was a measure which must be undertaken with meat precaut:ons. (Hear, hear.) Among others, it wohld he necessary to prevent the land so reclaimed from causing a re-formation of the cattier system. (Hem, hear.) ft was for parliament, hereafter, to judge how that evil we, to be duly guerded against. It was supposed it might he done by dividing the land, not into smell, but large farms, and letting it to individuals on such terms, and in such sub-divisions, as would insure employment to ouch a class of persons as it would suit the policy of government and of society t) encourage. Such a bill was in preearation, and it was the wish of the government to induce parliament to consider how far it wan applicable and would conduce to the object of providing an additional market for labour, and a seurce of industry and employment, while the land would he cultivated on scieutific principle.. At the same time it was hi. (Lord Lanedowne's) wish that all these objects should be attained by the individual enterprise to which he had ad verted, and if so, it woulel not require any great assistanc e to enable means to he found to supply the labour of the country, and provide for a superabundant population, by placing them in such a situation that if the potato crop did not recover, they might look to other means of subeietenoe, end who must abandon their present position as tenants and ,attics, and twenine day-labourer. Another topic which had been much &seemed at various times, which was a nuestion of much difficulty, though d greet importance, was emigration. It had been repeatedly con sidered by the government. He wished Inc could state. that there was any plan which they thought could be safely adopted. But, at the name time. a disposition existed in . 11 parts of the kingdom, and in Ireland especially, to seek employment on the other side of the Atlantic, and in the colonlcs. Alter much consideration it was thought im practicable, without interfering with the current of emi gration which now 'aided, to attempt to give to it any stimulus in this country and in Ireland. Still a great at traction might be afforded, iii the shape of security that, when they had crossed the Atlantic, emigrate should he placed in a situation at once to nbeain a livelihood. A small sum which the government bad used for that purpose had been attended with great and beneficial effects. It was proposed to increase this auto, and to such an extent that when emi (neon took plane in the mimed mare, after providing for hie passage, every emigrant on his arrival should have the means of piscine himself in such a situation as would enable him to find work for himself and his family, Bet Mom who were authorities on the subject maintained that it was not expedient to do more. Another subject which had occupied the attention of government was that of fisheries. In the last fire months the government had established, iu Mayo and other northern cotton( s, three curing stations, by which means poor fisher men had the it fish cured cheaply and in the best manner. This would lee . extended to all the west and southern ooast, so that there would be no meet where the fisherman could not have his fish cured or &sten means of carrying it to the best market.. It was also proposed to grant mall loans, at theft and a-half per cent., for the purchaeo of ma. chincry, boat,, and tackle, on the security of the boata, thus promoting those fisheries in Ireland, of wh ch the fishermen and proprietors had not availed themselves. He was sanguine enough to think that, in some counties, this would be a stimulus to industry. Theme measures, for the purpose of 'rowing employment the government proposed immediately to introduce. The noble marquis then proceeded to say, that as it was pronable that in many parts of Ireland relief from the workhouses would be unequal ta meet the existing poverty and dentitu. tines, and as there were persons to whom it was essential that oat-door sells f should be granted, eoz., the aged, the sick, and the infirm; it was proposed that the guardians should have nutherity to administoe relief to such per sons. The advances for this putpoe would be supplied bye rate for one-half of the money, the other half to be advanced by tee government , and the repayment to be postponed until after the summer instead of the spring e nema. Another measure would be, the •eiving a power of selling land, in order to died:lmes mortgages sod other incur:thrum.' which weighed so heavily on pro perty in Ireland, and checked every effort of the proprietors to relieve the wants of their neighbours. All them measures it would be for parliament to comide-; but, whatever might be their effort, the) could only be considered auxiliary to the efforts of the prop I,tors. t .s-, hear.) They could not, for the relief and restoration of the country, make themselves principals bee onl y n, although, it was to be hoped, powerful ones. (The noble marquis concluded by an eloquent and feeling expreation of hie hopes that Ire land, by her own exeltions and the aid of this country, would pass through her pres-nt severe trials, and be brought into a condition of prosperity.) Lord STANLEY assured their lordships that it was not his intention to interpose for more than a few minut ea between the noble marquis and my noble lord who was desirous of addreet ing their lordships. tor he adhered to the opinion he had ei peeved that any attempt to discuss the details of the great measure' now submitted to the house would be premature. He thought the coutse pursued by the government in submitting these immures to the house was teeth as would enable their lordships, and especially those who were conversant with Ireland, to offer in no un friendly spirit such obs; rvations an occurred to them.
