FILIDAT.-laDlletiOD Mr been received of a severe ecci . drat yesterday evening, arisiniii;;;;;;iess emit in the con sepses of gunpowder. It seems that • waggon, belonging to Mr. Robey, was on the toed to his place at Manly 's Flat, with a 601 b. cask of gun_ powder and other articles, for a party of the Provkdonal Hottentot Corps, now stationed at that point. This waggon bad nearly reached the residence of Mr. H. Fuller, when cans of the Hottentots in charge of it was led tbmightlessly to snap a flint gun directly over the cask question. The result was, that the whale exploded, making a tremendous report, tearing the waggon literally into two parts, and whirling into the air to an Immense height the fragments both of the vehicle and its contents. The leader and driver of the =t were both thrown some distance, shockingly and wounded, but neither of them killed, being brought into town in the evening, and lodged in the prisoa hospital. One of them died shortly afterwards, and the other remains in • most precarious state. None of the oxen were materially hurt, but ran off at the instant of the accident with the fragments of the waggon. Surely better precaution should be taken in the conveyance of gun powder, than appsare to have been the ease in this instance. So Jargon q of amenimition ought never to be gent tout, swept in Amigo of • owed penes, sod week other simple means should be adopted to prevent explosion, s will readily wear to the mind of every experienced person.— Received account. from Block Drift, dated Bth instant, to the effect that Suta, mother of Sanding', was at the camp on Sunday, for the purpose of tendering her sub mission to the governor. His excellency declined to see her on that dal, bu t t no farther information is afforded on the subject. Prepara tions were in progress for a forward move to the Bu , and supplies were being sent from Fort Beaufort with that view. Some severe remarks are made respecting the facilities with which Macomo obtains intoxi cating liquors at Block Drift, not by purchaae, but from those who ought to be aware of the impropriety, to use the mildest term, of fostering the baneful thirst which this Kaffir has acquired for spirituous liquors. We must suppose that the governor is perfectly unaware of this, and we mention the fact only in this cursory manner in the present instance, in the hope that we shall not hereafter be required to bring it more pointedly under the public notice. The distribution of spirituous liquors among the Kaffln is as mischievous in refinance to the colony, as the trade in gunpowder. The trafile in both should be sternly prohibited by the govern ment. /NIPPING.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. TIIIS DAY. Four o'Clock. By the arrival of the Malabar off Folkestone, we have late news from the Cape of Good Hope, with journals from Graham's Town to the 13th, and Cape 'Town to the 20th December. From these we collect that affairs opin the frontiers remained unsettled. Sir Peregrine Maitland was at Block Drift (now Fort Hare), organising the settlement of " British I Kaffraria," and Mr. Celderwood, the commissioner, is represents ,l as evincing energy and decision in his dealings with the Kaffir,, who were coming in to tender what was considered by some merely a professed subinission. Many of them were notoriously among the most worthless of this class, and it was felt that little, if any, dependance could be placed upon their promises, as, while professing to surrender all, there was e% idence to show that they had only re gistered a small portion of their cattle. "These fact'," says the correspondent of the Graham's Town Journal, " show that the Kaffirs are not humbled, or inclined to submit, and that their apparent humility is a mere matter of expediency. They say that the drought beat them, not us, and that, as far as fighting went, they had the best of it. I cannot see how matters or things are likely to end, so as to satisfy the colony. At present we are making no party in Kaffirland, that is, obtaining no footing among the people. The governor is firm in refusing to acknow ledge the chiefs ; but as to getting them or the mass of the people really to submit, is out of the question. They do not admit they are a conquered people. They have been put to straits by the drought, but they have got the cattle ; and though they will not fight, yet neither will they give them up. Very few guns have been given up; in fact, none comparatively that could be used. But every man who is unregistered, is obliged to produce six sssagaie, and in this way several thousand aassgaia have been given in. The Kaffirs do not appear to value them now they have got guns. On the whole the Kaffir. are evi dently not settled, but appear to be reserving them selves to take advantage of any circumstance which may tarn up in their favour. Macomo and his son Gona are yet at Block Drift. The former appears very sullen; the latter is a keen observer of all that panne' Such is the representation of the state of affairs at the date of the last intelligence from the frontier. 'There were rumours of preparations in progress for a forward movement to the Buffalo, but there was nothing to indicate the immediate resumption of hostilities, or anything like an extensive basis of operation. In deed the settlement of the recently-assumed territory seemed almost exclusively to engross official atten tion. The site of a new town had been selected on a fine commanding position in the Chumie Valley, near where Fort Thompson formerly stood, and a chain of strong military ports were about being esta blished from the Amatola to the sea, but whether along the line of the Kicekamma or Buffalo, had not been distinctly made known. Sir Andries Stockenstrom, on relinquishing his office of Colonel-Commandant of the Burgher knees, bad published an address, warmly thanking all those who served tinder his orders for their good conduct daring the war. Captain Sutton, of the Cape Rides, had been appointed to succeed to Sir Andries' command. A general order had been issued by the governor, thanking Sir A. Stockenstrom for his services. _ _ —. The emigrant farmers across the north-east border of the colony are stated to be suffering miserably from the failure of water, the loss of crops, sheep, and cattle, to which must be added the inconveniences and oppressions endured from the native chiefs who bear rule over the country. We select the following from the Graham's Totten Journal, 13th December : MOXDAY.—We have information from across the bound ary of a very successful movement of the Fingoe Corps, ender Field-Captain Conway, who is stationed in the jungle tithe Fish River, between * Trompetters' post and Frazer's tamp. It seems that Klan and cattle had been seen in the wooded ravines and broken country bordering the Tamache, and that on this being made known to Captain Conway, he marched quietly un Wednesday night towards the point in question. Reaehin the head of the Gwsztga, he there bivouacked until daylight, and then moved down into the kloofs in question. The result was the capture of 450 head of fine cattle, numbers of them colonial. Many more might have been captured had the attacking Party been provided with horses, but this not being the ease the Kollin succeeded in getting off with them. No fighting took place, as, on the Kaffir' observing the character of the approaching force, they immediately retired, with so many cattle so they could drive, deeper into the broken country which marks this locality. It is said that Sento, Botma, Tole, and some other chiefs are at pre sent in this neighbourhood. The captured cattle were said, in the first instance, to have been taken from Sonto's people, but subsequent accounts mention that they belonged to Steek.—This day the 1,400 head of captured cattle, sent to Levee Fontein, near Fort Beitufort, were distributed by Captain Hogg to the farmers of that neighbourhood. Fur ther mounts also have been received from Bleck Drift, but they are little more than confirmatory of the accounts previ ously received. A strong opinion is expressed that our govern ment will be yet outwitted by the cunning Kaffirs, but to whklt we do not attach much importance. The abjection made to the mode of enregiaterment appear to he better beetled and entitled to more consideration. It is af firmed, that Kaffir' come in professedly to give up arms, and to be received as British subjects; that with this view they bring in a few new assegais, evidently made fir the purpose, e n d f requen tly, if not generally, make cistas to certain cattle in the possession of the govern ment, and which tto y usually obtain by an order from the rtwowent commissioner. There may be difficulties we which are not stated nor perceived; but looking It the Proceeding so here given, it has, we must coufisa, mere the appearance of a bribe held out to induce the indi vidual to make certain profeesions, than the spontaneous act of ate truly humbled and disposed to make atonement for ° gemm which he felt conscious had been committed by him w l w ithout the slightest cause or provocation. This is a subject .;_hich requires the grare e t consideration of the authorities `"'ullad with the carrying oat of this important matter. Let dem remember that they ar e now l a yi ng a f o undation, and that if this be mixed with duplicity on either side the whole et Pentracture will be unsubstantial, and prove in the end Utterly Jetasoce, —Received information from Kafilrland, viet , . t terleo Buy, up to Bth inn: We kern by this oppor ty that I.Mhala had made hie appearance at Fort Ped nicrfewig great humility, sorrow and so forth, and ; 'Wu to haw resulted in his is;szching off with • 1 COMMERCIAL & MARKETS. MONEY MARKET ts: CITY INTELLIGENCE. The decisive rejection of the Irish railway scheme last night, by a majority so overwhelming, has given much satis faction in the City. The question of the amount sought to be taken by this scheme, and expended for the construction of Irian railways, would of itself be of the least consideration when required only at the rate of four millions per annum for four successive years, and, in ordinary times, even the entire sum of sixteen millions dieting might be raised without much inconvenience, or any particular dis turbance of the standard values represented under the general term of the money market ; but it would be a very grave mistake to suppose that these are other than very extraordinary times, for the financial quite as much as for the material and social interests of the country. We have the value of money rising almost week by week, as measured by the rates of interest and discount, and if not by the absolute diminution of its quantity in circulation to any serious extent yet, by that gradual impairing of confidence which, pro Santo, tends to restrict credit, which in its results is equivalent to a 'amity of money. We hare a decline in the prices of public securities equal within the last few months to about 5 per cent., with Exchequer Bills redeemable',. in cash next month als/11y at par. And this revolution of values has been mainly caused by the anticipation that go yernment would be suable to carry on the public business without a loan, in some shape or other, for seven or eight mil lions, at least, which of itself is no terrific amount, for which recourse must be had to the money market. Although no loan has been contracted for, or even negotiations opened to that end, yet the funds did not the less continue to de cline. What, in such circumstances, would be the effect of pressing upon the market fer four mil lions more instanter, and pledging the Treasury prospectively, whatever the condition of public affairs finan cially, materially, or politically, for twelve millions more at the rate of four millions per annum ? He must be a very sanguine, or a very presumptuous, not to my ignorant, man, who should assert that Consols, under such an additional load, would remain at 90, or even stop short at 85, or that the rate of interest should be stationary at 4 per cent., and could not ascend to 5,6, 7, or even a higher per centage rate still ? In given, cases the four millions would for the money market be a feather to carry ; whilst in other conditions the unimportant sum should be as the last feather that breaks the camel's back. With yet unknown millions to raise and to expend for the employment and sustenance of millions of desolate beings at home, and millions more defy ing calculation which have to be remitted abroad in payment of provisions, and for the settlement of adverse trade balances, it would be the utmost rashness, and an inexcusable disregard of the deep responsibility incurred in a government which should embark on each a perilous course of compromising, by fourteen or six teen millions more, the present and prospective resources of the country. Half-past Two.—The legislative decision imparted more confidence to the Mock market this morning. C,nsols improved at the opening to 901 to 1 for money and time ,• they are now 901 to 1, with a firmer appearance. Reduced Theme, 911 to 1. Exchequer Bills (advertised), par to be. premium.

The arrivals since this day se'nnight include a moderate supply coastwise, but very hula of any thing from Ireland; whilst the shipments hence to that country continue upon a large scale daffy. Of foreign pro duce tie imports are to a fair amount, especially of Inch= Corn and Flour, which from the States are coosider able. Influenced by the roe in the Media( provincial markets last week, and the advance again in London yester day, a nutneress Mesdames of esuntry =Mere, and several from Ireland apparel this naming; which, at the coal meneement of business aimed to gins a further impulse to the Wheat trade, and maim to a tair Mint were effected, at an amendment upon Friday's Mae of filly 6d. per 70th. over the currency of this day sessight. The importer of Flour continuing to require higher terms than buyers could be induced to pay, the to metiese were limited ; and though in the coursed the mantles a M parealsat Western brandy were disposed of at 444. 66, the trade clewed rather languidly at 445., being 2.. per barrel and Irish Is per sack only above the rate* of this day week. Malting Barley and Malt, the former bring mann, and both in request, were held steadily at our increreed quotations. Beans and Pease, upon a limited deu.and, remained unaltered in value.-Chita and 001111 fill, continuing to attract very little notice, barely sucained bits prices.

Fresh in.calf Cows, near at hand, were much in demand, and realised good priers; barren Cows and young stock were not so well sold as on previous fairs, and the sale was dull. Sheep were a shade worse than lineal, and upon the whole not much business was done in them. Of Horses (although this fair commenced several days previous to the 13th), there was but a poor show ; one, were scarce, and realised high prises, infe rior were badly sold. The fair was not a brisk we. Beef may be quoted at 6d. ; Mutton, Bed. to 7d. per lb. BOLTON, Fee. 15.—At the fortnightly fair, held to-day, there was more than an average supply of cattle ; but buyers were scarce, holding out for a reduction, particularly in drapes, which dealer seemed unwilling to concede. Milaters were rather scarce, end maintained former rates. The weather, being unfavourable, tended to lessen the demand. LicsarooL, Fee. 15.—We have had but a slender supply of both Beef and Mutton at our market this . The quality generally was pretty fair. There was a fair demand for both, and the quotations of last week were well supported. BALISIMAT, Fab. 18.—The prices for best Beef, 10s. to 101. Bd. per score ; middling samples, 9s. 84. to 10s.

It had been stated by the noble Earl who had just sat down, that if they looked Is the blue books they would find that her Majesty's eovernMent had done much to shield the landed proprietors in Inland. He could not allow that statement to be made without tilling his noble friend and her Majesty's government that he far one, and he believed he spoke in thename of those conflicted with land in Ireland, that they, did not require their ahield. (Hear.) If the government thought it necessary through a benevolent sympathy to extend that shield over them, it wu most ungenerous to tell the people at large that they did so to hide the supposed misconduct of the Irish landlords. Though there were many chas published in the blue books to which he alluded which should not be made public without giving the parties emend the opportunity of defending themselves ; yet he (Odd not sit down without expressing his deepest admiration of the unteralleled zeal, industry and bent-',dente which was exhibited in all the treasury correspondence. The Marquis of WESTMEATH thought that the mat important point was not fully understood. It referred to those ejectmen.s which occasioned the people to emigrate into this country. The lengusge of the noble earl (Grey) woe calculated to create an erroneous impression en this subject. Those people who had left Ireland under these circumstances were guilty of gross dishonesty, and were not entitled to commiseration. The emigration could not be traced to the fault of the proprietors. SUGAR IN DISTILLERIES' BILL. The Earl of CLARENDON, on moving the second reading of this bill, said that it was already agreed to that both this bill and the sugar in breweries' bill should be read that evening, and that no discussion should take place on either until, as was also thought convenient, they should be both committed together on Friday. Lord STANLEY said that though it was quite true that it was thought convenient that no discussion should be ea. tend into until the house went into committee, et he wished that the noble lord had not 90 far consulted their lordships' convenience as to abstain from (riving • general statement of the principle and object of the bill. lie thought such • statement was necessary when they had to deed with a bill which appeared to be introduced as a per manent measure under the cloak of relieving tempo rary distress. Ile wished that the governmetfc would agree to refer the bill to a select committee, but ff they did not consent to that course, he would take the opportunity of giving notice that he would make • meths to that effect on their going into committee ea Friday. The Earl of CLARENDON thought that the arrange ment which was entered into last evening was the host oar that could be adopted. The noble lord stated that the; had introduced this permanent measure under the cover of relieving ti mporary distress, but he should remind him that this bill was introduced in pursuance of a pledge which wee made last year to the East India interest. And the noble lord would tied, when he looked at the bill, that the details were extremely simple, and that there was nothing new is the principle. The bill had wed the House of Commons, without opposition, and those interested most on the subjeet,, namely the Scotch and Irish distillers had no objection to the bill. It was possible that delay may be created in the passing of the bill, by referring it to a select committee, us it was impossible to tell how far it may be thought ex pedient to procure evidence. He mut say, therefore, that he would feel bound on the part of her Majesty's govern ment, to oppose the motion of the noble lord. Lord STANLEY, in explanation, said if he used the words " under cover," he did not mean anything offensive. Earl GREY believed that the bill would be inoperative, except in seasons of distress. The bill was then read • second time. Their lordships adjourned till Thursday at quarter-past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 16. The HPRAIRR took the chair shortly before four o'clock.

SCROPiiasiedtTinPOnnrinc;Ofnotiee, the follow ing questions :—Whether there is at present, and, if so, what, legal obligation or responsibility upon boards of guardians in Ireland to relieve the destitute poor in their omens ? If there be, whether any proceedings, by indictment or other wise, are about to be instituted by direction of her Majesty's government against the board of guardians of the Castlebar anion, for having for several month, past denied relief to num bers of poor, as to whose absolute destitution no doubt could exist, closing the workhouse against them, although not half full ; whereby it has happened that very many of such desti tute poor persons have sired of starvation, as the verdicts of numerous coroners' inquests held within the said union attest/ If no effective legal responsibility or obligation to relieve the destitute rests at present on Irish boards of guardians., to ask whether her Majesty's government do not intend to introduce some effectual obligation of this nature into the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, whereby security shall be taken against such denial of relief to the destitute poor of Ireland of all classes in future ? Sir G. GREY said that in reply to the first question he had better refer to the act 1 and 2 Victoria, c. 56 (the Poor Relief Act for Ireland). In the case of the Castleber Union, the commissioners had exercised the powers vested in them byl aw, to compel the guardians to perform their duty, and, ving failed to effect that object, they had proceeded to dissolve the board ; with regard to the other part of the questions, he could only say that by the first clause of the bill nos the table, relief would he given to the class of persons described as permanently disabled by age or infirmity, and by a subsequent clause it was proposed, that in the contingency therein contained, a right to relief should be given to able-bodied persons where the woeklreses was full. Mr. FRENCH wished to ask his right hon. friend, if he was aware that in the month of September last, it was found impossible to collect the rates in the Castlehar Union, I I and that the chairman, Lord Lunn, took upon himself the expenses of the house for one month, during which period, every person who applied was admitted. Was he aware also that at the expiration of the month ■ communication was made to the commissioners of the guardians, stating that they were unable to collect the rates, and that for a fort night the commissioners had taken no notice of the commu nication . . . Sir G. GREY mid, the frets relating to the Castlobar Union, and to the other unions in the county of Mayo,wonld be found stated in the report which was laid upon the table. NOTICES OF MOTION. The notices of motion upon the piper fur the day were mverally postponed. COMMITTEE ON THE NAVIGATION LAWS. Mr. RICARDO moved the appointment of the following members to form the Select Committee on the Navigation Laws:—Mr Ricardo, Sir It Peel, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Aid Thompson, Mr. Villiere, Sir 11. Douglas, Admiral Divides' Mr. Lyall, Mr. M'Certhy, Mr. T. Baring, Mr, Hume, Me' Liddell, Mr. Bright, Sir G. Clerk, and Mr. M. Gibson. On the name of Mu. Blither being reed, Mr. WAWN rose to object. He begged to ask whether it was not very minimal to put on a committee two members representing the same town ? Now, although Mr. Bright did not represent Manchester at present, yet he was a can didate for Manchester, end the Vice. President of the Board of Trade, who was a member fur hlancheeter, was alto to serve on this committee. (Hear and a laugh.) He (Mr. Wein') felt that in the committee, as it was at present no minated, the shipping interest and seaport towns of Ragland were very inadequately represented, and he should therefore move that Mr. Bright 's name be omitted in order to insert the name of some member representing a seaport. Mr. FERRAND agreed with the hon. member, though he did not pity him in the slightest degree. He (Mr. Wawn) was one of those who were now caught in thelrap they had set for themselves. (Hear, bete.) Never was there such a committee proposed m this. Oat of the fifteen members to serve on it, eleven had voted for free trade. Of course such a committee would doom the navigation laws to immidiate destruction. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the committee appeared to him to be a very fair committee, and that he thought there wu no force in the objection of the hoe. member for Tynemouth. Mr. FINCH thought that the committee would never give satisfaction to t►e country. Mr. LIDDELL was sorry to hear en opinion exorcised, t►st this committee would not satisfy the country, for cer tainly, if such were ►is view, he would not coo rat to serve Mr. BROWNRIGO said he had bees asked to serve on this oommittec, but his name had been for some reason un known to him struck off the list. He did not, however, complain of this, for so doubt he should be saved much time and trouble. Major BERESFORD said he had been slaked to give in the names of live members on that side of the house, and he bad certainly given in the name of the hon. member for Boston ; but after having done se, Mr. Lyall, the member tor London, urged that he eras entitled to serve, having been. filtvrtl N0.146.] LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FE8.17, 1847.

IRISH PAUPERS IN LIVERPOOL. bet via W ILLIAM acid Ae wouldtake the present op pereseity of bringing under the notice of the house some Sods relating to the influx of Irish pauper' into Liverpool. In the papers which had been laid before the house yester day, ;it was stated that no less than 24,000 Irish paupers had been relieved in Liverpool. The last day on which say large number had been relieved wee on a Monday—he supposed Monday the Ist of February. But the nest day, when a new system of administering relief had been intro duced is consequence of the representations of the assistant poor-law commissioner, the number of persons relieved was reduced from 22,348, which was the amewat on Monday, to 4,900, which was the number relieved ea Tuesday.

THE CASTi.EBAR UNION. The Earl of LUCAN said he was desirous of defending hinmelf from the char, attacks and accusations which had been made against him in another place, with respect to the Castlebar Union. He was charged with three things; first, that he was a debtor to the union, inasmuch as he bad not paid the poor-rate; second, that he shut up the work house ; and third, that he refused to strike a rate for the sup, port of the poor. With regard to owing the rate, all he could say was, that while he was in Inland he attended the board of guardians at Castlebar every day as chairman, and he was treated with great forbearance if he owed the rate. • had never bean taxed in any instance with nonpayment of the tans. On the contrary, he had used all his authority with the rate-collector to make him collect the rates that were due, there being upwards of 100 distress warrants a gai nst persons in Castlebar, which had been issued by the board of guardians at his instance. With respect to the letter of the assistant poor-law commissioner, he called upon the home secretary on the subject, and protested against it as libellous throughout. He was a large occupier of land himself, and be asserted that not one teething of rate was due on any land in his occupation, not even for one month after the rate had been struck. (Hear, hear.) The next charge was that he shut up the workhouse. What were the facts? The first day that he could attend the board of guardians on kis return to Ireland, after having come over here to re present the state of the country, was the 28th of September, and on that day he was told that every contract stopped, and consequently there could be no provisions. There was not a single tender, not a farthing of money. Such being the state of things he (Lord Lucan,) raid " I will relieve you from this difficulty by keeping the house open for you." (Hear, hear.) He could positively say, that for the five years the workhouse was open, not a single applicant or relief bad been refused admittance. The work house was made to tannin 600 persons, but, till the ,late calamity, 170 was the largest number it ever con tained, there Ming a ern.: tae aimiust receiving relief in the workhouses throughout Ireland. But it was house was not full because the board of guardian refused to receive the poor. Such was not the fact. Matters went on as he had stated from September to the 24th of October. He then recommended that the rate collectors should be compelled to ;do their duty, and to collect 1,2001. of the outstanding rate, which he thought ought not to be given over as lost, and which he was of opinion might be collected.' The resolution of the board of guardians, which had been so much condemned, was to the effect that they should not feel themselves justified in admitting any more paupers into the house, and the question was not whether the people were to starve outside the house, but inside it. On the 21st of November the assistant poor-law commissioner, Mr. Otway, arrived, and he favoured them with a great deal of declamation as to the horror' of starvation, sad aid the doors ought to be opened immediately. When asked how the people were to be fed, he replied "strike a rate." That, however, wee no any thing to do, for it would take three weeks or a month to get the hooks ready in consequenee of the mintier of small occupations. He (the Earl of Loma) stated that until they could see how the poor were to be fed, he did not gee the use of opening the doors, and he thought the people hod better starve out of the house than in it, and he thought it an impolitic thing to strike a rate when there was so much outstanding on the existing rate. As to the present condition of the board, he need not say that it was dissolved; and the noble lord in another place whose obser vations had induced him to make this statement, insisted on having a paid board; perhaps he looked to be appointed chairman of it. He, however, could scarcely endure to be lectured by a Scotehman about relief to the poor ; and when the noble lord referred to the blue-book on the subject of the Irish poor, he could point him to another blue-book which re proached Scotland with her niggardly relief to the neceasitous. In conclusion, he could not help saying that the tone of the language used towards Ireland did not meet with that discouragement on the part of the government which it deserved ( Hear, hear.) Earl GREY was not going to defend his noble friend in the other house, whose speech had called forth the animadver sions of the noble lord, because he thought the practice of answering speeches in one house which had been made in the other was inconvenient, and had the effect of lowering the credit of both houses. (Hear, beer.) But he thought it his duty to say that tee censure on Mr. Otwsy—a merito rious public officer—wee most unjust. He must say, that, having read the statements of Mr. Otway, and heard th , . epee& of the noble earl, it was his sincere opinion that Mr. Otway's censure of the baud of guardians of the Castlebar Cana was, in no respect, mere severe than the circumstances justified. He bad not used any expressions personal) condemning the noble earl es chairman of that ooard, but, by the noble earl's own statements, it did ap pear that the gravest censure rested on the heard of guardiens-- hear, hear)—and be thought the commis sioner. were hilly justified in dissolving that board. What ware the hate? During a period of the most fearful die tress, the workhouse did not contain by very many the number of poems it wee capable of accommodating, and thou, who wen odaelemed Imo it were not supplied with Prone* fond, delbing, we bedding. It was raid the board of gumbos' was nails te min funds; but were due efforts made be then impose ? Why, the noble earl himself said that a memideraide portion of the arrears wen due from solvent parties, and it was the duty of the gusrdians to take can that the rate was p rop erly collected. (Hear, hear.) No new rate had been Inn& although application had fre quently been made to the guardians to do so, by the poor law commissioners. He could not help saying a word before he sat down se to the statement of the noble a word before he sat dawn as to the statement of the noble earl who sat near him (Earl Fitrwilliani). From what he had been told, he believed that a large number of persons, against whom processes had been obtained in Mayo, had not waited to have them enforced, but had collected their goods and fled to Liverpool. The noble earl had said that the statement with reference to the ejertments in Mayo was in tended to influence the public mind in Englond against the Irish people, and prevent England from do rag her duty to Ireland. He was persuaded that the noble lord had used the word " intended " unintentionally ; otherwise, consider ing that the statement had been made by a near relative of his own (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), he should have met such en imputation most indignantly. It wee the duty of hie right hon. friend, from the situation which he held, not to withhold such facts. It had been stated that the go vernment had not sufficiently discouraged the tendentious of Irish landlords but if any one bad read the papers presented to parliament, he thought they would be of a different opi nion, and would think that the government bad done much to shield the proprietors of Ireland from the censure which had been cast upon them ; but he was no true friend to the proprietors or the population of Ireland who, in the present fearful state of things, concealed from them the truth. It was better that they should know the truth now, than that the consequences should fall upon themselves some months hence. Did not his noble friend know that Ireland could not remain for any considerable time dependent on England—(hear, hear)—that she most help herself, and not look for constant madman' from this country ? (Hear, beer.) Heise did net, the time would speedily come when public opinion in this country would be far too strong for any ministry, end would declare that such a system must cease. (Hear, hear.) In many emes, the proprietors of Ireland had nobly done their dut7,.bet that had not been by any means universally the ease, arising, perhaps, from inexperience; and this he must say, that there had been a failure among all ranks in Ireland, to assist and co operate with the government in carrying that country through this period of dreadful affliction. (Aar, hear.) Lord MONTEAOLE thought the noble earl who had just at down had not said a word to relieve the noble and I gallant Aker opposite (the Earl of Loan) from a most cruel charge which had been made against him, and he would have been lea than • man if he bad not come for ward to vindicate himself. He (Lord Montesgle) had often been made a butt of in the other bootee, and never had noticed it excepting a few nights ego on some questions of I fact; but he thought the noble earl was bound to make the statement which he had made. Wes it right that the noble earl, as chairman of the board of guardians of the Castlebar union, should he held up to obloquy by Mr. Otway, without his stating at the same time, that the noble earl had, out of his own private resources, supported, at the time n (erred to, and since, all the inmates of the union workhouse? (Hear.) Such instances es these were in this country rare, but if a noble lord came forward in England to support et his own expense, every single inmate in an union workhouse, no such act of injustice would be done to him as to deny he generosity, end hold him up as an object of obloquy and con tempt. With respect to the lands on the estate of the noble and pliant Aker opposite, every mingle farthing of rat* was
