The steamer Cambria, from Boston, and the screw ship Sarah Sands, from New York, may now be con sidered due. There is no account from Liverpool of the snivel of either vessel at the time of going to ess. We may possibly receive late American news atime for a second edition. IN the House of Lords, last nigt.t, Lord Bootmum, on presenting a petition from certain Protestant dis • seaters against the government plan of education, observed, that he did not concur in the prayer of the :petition, and was astonished at the senseless clamour • which was being raised by the dissenters against the ! proposed regulations of the committee of the privy council.—The. Marquis of LANSDOWNE was wholly at a lees to conceive what there was in the promul gated minutes of the council to excite the jealousy of that intelligent body, the dissenters. There was not in the proposed plan a single benefit intended for the community at large, which was not so guarded, as to make it accessible to all sects indifferently ; its very groundwork was religious freedom for all classes of the community.—Lord STANLEY, on presenting a petition from the grand jury of the North Riding of Tipperary against the indiscriminate sale of fire arms in Ireland, stated, on the authority of the head constable of Clonmel, that large supplies of fire- 1 arms had been recently imported into that town, some of them being sold by auction in the public streets, at prices varying from half-a-crown to thirty shillings, the purchasers being the lowest class of labourers and boys, whose only means were derived from the wages they received on the public works. That it appeared the Birmingham stock was exhausted, and that the market was now being supplied from the pawn brokers' shops of London and elsewhere. At one of the public sales to which he had referred, the auc tioneer, in descanting on the merits of his wares, held out one gun, exclaiming, " Buy this, boys, it is a re ceipt in full for the November rent;" and, on putting up another lot, said, " Here's one warranted to settle with an agent at 150 yards." lie had also re ceived information that, in a district with which he was well acquainted, persons engaged . on the public works had been seen practising ball-firing in a field, at a hat placed on the top of a spade handle, and every successful shot was hailed with loud cheers. It must, he thought, be admitted that much mischief might re sult from the indiscriminate sale of fire-arms, under the circumstances and in the manner to which he had referred. In the House of Commons, Mr. Morrison's rail way committee of last session was reappointed, in consequence of au irregularity on the part of that hon. member in drawing up and presenting the report, without its having received the sanction of the commit tee as required by the orders of the house. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE, in answer to Mr. MACKINNON, said the reason why the same terms had not been offered by the East India Company to the North of India Rail way Company as to the Southern Companies, was, that the latter referred to two experimental lines, which embraced both the upper and lower provinces of Bengal, which were works of considerable diffi culty and large expense, while the former did not partake of those elements. The right hon. baronet, also, in answer to Captain LAYARD, intimated, as regarded the Khelat and Guznes prize-money, that orders had gone out in December last to remove an existing difficulty, but he had no doubt that, by this time, it was in course of distribution; also in answer to Mr. H. J. RAILLIE, that the Court of Directors had come to a decision on the subject of the Scinde prize money, which decision was under the consideration of the Board of Control, end when that was arrived at, immediate payment would be ordered. Lord MORPETH, in answer to Mr. C. Bnitourr,'replied that men were already engaged by the government for the purpose of re- MOTLIIg the Wellington Statue from its present site. Lord him Rosszrt, in answer to Lord Gomm RENTINCE, intimated that it was not intended to pro pose that the present sugar duties should be made annual; but there were various votes in the estimates, and afterwards the Appropriation Bill, which would give the house sufficient control over them. The noble lord also, in answer to Lord JOHN MANNED:, said, some information had reached the government as to the prohibition of the exportation of corn from Portugal, the purport of which he would state this day. The adjourned debate on the question of going into committee on the Poor Relief (Ireland) B ill was then resumed, the speakers being _Sir . WILLIAM CLAY, Captain JONES, Mr. V. STUART, Mr. HAMILTON, Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, Sir D. J. NORRETS, Mr. VESBY, Captain LATARD, Lord JOHN MANNERS, Mr. LA BOLCIIERE, Mr. SMITH O'llaivo, Mr. ROEBUCK, Sir . W. VERNER, Mr. CALLAGHAN; after which, the house went into committee, pro forma. The Drain s lee of Land Bill was read a third time, and the house adjourned. COMMERCIAL Ir MARKETS.

NATIONAL EDUCATION. Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting a petition from the Protestant dimenters of a place in Wilts against the govern ment plan of education, declared that he could not concur in the prayer of the petition. He bad never, in the whole of his experience, heard of a more senseless clamour than that which was now being raised by the dissenters against the government plan. (Hear, bear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE fully concurred with the noble and learned lord as to the ground lessness of the alarm at present existing macinget the dissenters. He did not know what there was in the minutes of the couneil of educa tion to excite the jealousy of that intelligent body. He might not have wondered at their distrust, if the facts on which they grounded their fears were true; hut he had seen letters, circulated with the view of increasing the opposition, hich contained statements directly opposite to what was to be found in the minutes, and positively asserting that the object of the government was to secure • monopoly of educa tion to the established church. (Hear, hear.) He said it in all re•pect to the established church, hut no man would be more reluctant to procure for it a monopole' of that description than himself. (Hear, hear.) The feet was that there was not in the plan a single benefit intended for the community at large, which was not guarded in such a way an to make it accessible to all sects indifferently. The plan was founded on principles of religious freedom and liberality for all dames of the community. (Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM had also seen the letter alluded to by the noble marquis, and had been surprised at the inaccuracy of its statements. His only fault with the government wee, that it did not go far enough. lie feared that between the church on one side, and the dissenters on the other, the education of the people would fall to the ground. Both of these bodies expressed their anxiety to further that moat im portant object, but he feared that either would postpone it for the sake of • little temporary triumph over the other. I (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would remind the noble and learned lord that all the dissenters were not against the measure, as at a late meeting at Leeds the greatest mer chants of the town, including many dissenters, had marked it with their approval. SALE OF ARMS, EMIGRATION, RAILWAYS, (IRELAND). Lord STANLEY said ho had three petitions to present to which he wished to call the attention of their lordshipr, and of the government. They were signed by the high sheriff and the whole of the grand jury of the North Rid ing of Tipperary, and had reference to three questions of very considerable importance. The first stated that the petitioners viewed with alarm the unprecedented sales of fire arms, which were constantly going on in the towns of Clonmel and Thurles, and their alarm was, they stated, par ticipated in by Mr. Justice Jackie's, the judge of anise, who feared that, in the majority of cases, the arms purchased got into the hands of improper persons. In corroboration of the statements of this petition, he (Lord Stanley) would read to the house the report which had been furnished by the head constable of Clonmel to the chief inspector of police, and by him forwarded to the grand jury. The report mated that twelve persons in that town had recently imported large supplies of guns, swords, and bayonets, which they sold at prices varying from half-a-crown to thirty shillings. Four of those persons sold by public auction in the streets on fair and market days. It appeared that the manufacturers of Birmingham were quite unable to supply the demand, and that the deficiency was supplied from the pawn-offices of London. The prin cipal purchasers were the lowest class of labourers and servant boys, and many of the guns were purchased with money received as wages on the public works. lie must further state, that private accounts he had received fully corroborated the account given by the head.constable. At a recent sale of gone in Clonmel, the auctioneer, dementia, on the merits of his wares, held out one gun, exclaiming " Buy this, boys ; it is a receipt in full for the Nbvember rent." (Laughter.) And another, saying, " Here's one, warranted to settle with an agent at 150 yards." (Continued laughter.) There was, he must admit, something ludicrous in Nis; but still it could not be defied that much mischief might be expected from indiscriminate miles of fire-arms. (Hest, hear.) He bad also received information from private sources that, in a district with which he was well acquainted, a number of persons engaged on the public works had been seen practising with ball in a field. They had a hat stuck on a spade-handle, and every successful shot was received with loud cheers. The house would be surprised to learn that the persons so employed were at that moment receiving government pay on the public works. (Laughter.) The second petition war on the subject of Irish railways, and submitted the opinion of the petitioners, tigit everything that would facilitate their extension would be a great benefit to the country. The third petition solicited an extended system of emigration under the auspices of government. Now, although he quite concurred with the petitioners, that in the great poor-law experiment about to be made, every aid likely to render it safe should be adopted, yet he was not prepared to go the whole length in adopting their views. He believed that many of them were not aware of the danger and difficulty attendant on the application of large fume of the public money, to the purpose of conveying a large amount of destitute labour to the colonies. (Hear.) The petitioners no doubt founded their petition on the very common mistake that every governor of • colony had large tracts of waste land at his disposal. Now, nothing could be more erroneous than such a belief, as, with the exception of New South Wales and one or two others, the governors had no control over the lands. (So we understood the noble lord.) The fact was, that our Canadian colonists dreaded nothing more than en enormous influx of destitute persons. Perhaps the petitioners did not know, that even at present, government aid went farther than was generally supposed, and that emigrants, on striving at our colonies, would find government agents at every stage ready to give them the best advice, and to further their progress to their ultimate destination. The persons going to Canada to friends previ ously settled, or with defined expectations, would, no doubt, absorb a large amount of labour ; but to think of seeding out half a million era million of destitute persons, at an ex pense to the country of three or four millions sterling, would be detrimental both to the colonies and to the persona sent (Hear, hear.) At the same time he thought it e xped ient that every encouragement should be given to the load efforts of proprietors, and that for the emigrants themselves the best assistance and advice should be provided, both here and in the colonies. (Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM doubted the efficacy of a general depletion in Ireland. Even the sending away of a million or half • million would not, in his °pinks, have much effect. He wished to know whether be could, obtain a return of the number of marriages which had been celebrated in Ireland during the last six months, as compared with the previous six months. He asked this became be believed that even if the— sent away a million now, in ten or twelve years they would be swarming as numerously as ever. Lord STANLEY said he had seen a statement to the effect, that the State of New York had, in the apprehension of an enormous influx this year, imposed a large fine on each emigrant. He wished to know whether government had received any official intimations on the subject. Earl GREY believed that such a measure had been under consideration in the New York legislature, but that no decision had as yet been come to. The question had been raised in consequence of abuses which bad occurred last year—a number of German, not English or Irish, emigrants having landed on the quays of New York, in • state of complete destitution, and many of them so weakly or ad vented in years as to be wholly unfit for labour. (Hear.) If we adopted an indiscriminatuig measure of emigration, we should no doubt be met in America by measures of restriction, and so in even our own colonies. He had had much conversation on this subject with Lord Elgin previous to his departure for Americs, and that noble earl's attention would be directed to the consideration of the moat satis factory mode of distributing emigrants in Canada. Lord ASHBURTON, in presenting a petition from 1,500 eottiers of Omagh, for mesa. to emigrate, observed that It was meet desirable that emigrants to America should meet, on their arrival, with the fewest possible discouraging eireum stancee. As to the prohibitions referred to, he much doubted whether the State of New York, even if it eo desired, could prohibit the landing of emigrants in any part of the State. He believed that all that had been done by the authorities of New York had been to all upon the captains of vessels bringing over emigrants to give security that wash emigrants should not become chargeable there. Eon FITZ WILLIAM—Are the 1,500 cattier' you gee. sent a petition from all heads of families / Lord Ashburton—No; there are 390 heads of families, representing 1.600 persons in all. Lord BROUGHAM—AII the signatures are in the same handwriting. (A laugh.) Lord MONTEAGLE was greatly in favour of wawa sictered encouragement to emigration. Lord STANLEY explained tnat so fir from being to all government encouragement of emigration, he that the bill before parliament with reference to • loser- w for Ireland, would not pass without the insertion of a provision for facilitating emigration. . _ _ The Earl of DEVON, in presetting & petition from 1,400 cottiers of Farney, fur mean/ to emigrate, Mated that he had received two letters, on which he could fully rely, inform- Mg him that the 2i. 6d. which certain Irish, landing at r Liverpool, had been represented to have received for their =lmoney from the Irish 'auditoria in their lets locality, i re , in point of fact, • portion of funds sent over bv Irish emigrants, already aettled in Americo, to an agent at Liver pool, to enable their friends and relations to join them. 'lbis agent, it was further stated, had already expended 7004 in forwardin this of Oct. Lord B R tOUGHAM observed that it was very possible that would account lor the circumstance. He had a letter from Mr. Rushton, :he magistrate at Liverpool, who in formed him that, iu many inatanees, he found the passage money of the Irish immigrants had been defrayed for them, in others, they had paid it themselves, but that in no in stance had he found their expenses defrayed, as had been asserted, by the pruprietors of steam vessels. It seemed that there were two classes of immigrants--ene who paid for themselves, and another who were paid for. Altogether he !needed the subject of emigration as one of even pressing importance both to Ireland and to cur colonies. Theemigrants from Ireland at this moment were, he believed, chiefly small capitalist', and not the poor of the country. The Earl of MOUNTCASH EL hoped this subject would be considered maturely. His belief was that 41. per head would suffice to take out emigrants to our North American colonies, and this was not a greater amount than the cost per head of supporting paupers in Ireland. The Earl of RIPON had no doubt whatever that emi gration, condue:eil upon proper principles, would be of the greatest benefit to Ireland. That emigration, however, muvt, in his opinion, be limited to the colonies of Great Britain—in which alone we could have any control over the future destiny of the emigrant.. Their lordships adjourned at seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY, MARCH 13. The SreaRER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRI , 'ATE BUSLNESn. PETITIONS.—By Mr. Cat's,.

NOTICE OF MOTION.--,hynam CORP./MON. —Mr. Damsons, ta.morrow (thin day), to more for an account of the expenses incased by deputation. froM the Dublin corporation to London between Nov. 1811 and Dec. 1646. MR. MORRISON'S RAILWAY COMMITTEE OF 1846. Lord G. SOMERSET wished to ask a question of the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, in reference to the report of the Select Committee on Railways, appointed last year, on the motion of the boo. member fur Inverness. That committee tat until the 7th of August, when is nominal report was mode and the evidence was reported. He had since understood that the document which had been laid upon the table, and entered in the journals as the report of the com mittee, was nothing more than a sketch embodying the views of the hon. member for Inverness, that it had sever been submitted to the committee, sad coast quently had been pre sented to the house without any authority whatever. He wished to know from the right hon, gentleman, who was a member of the committee, whether this st►tement was correct? Mr. M. GlBSON—Became a member of the committee towards the latter part of the session, and so Or as he could do so, he should he happy to answer the noble hrd's enquiry. The last meeting but one of the committee (at which be was present) took place on the 7th of August. Certain molutions were submitted on that occasion, which were considered, amended, and agreed to. A fortnight after, on the 25th of Aug., the committee was summoned to meet again, but a quorum could not be got together,—no one, he believed, but the chairman, being pre sent. On that °evasion, a draft report was laid on the table, and a minute made of the proceeding by the committee-clerk —and from the votes he found that this draft had afterwards been presented to the house es the report of the committee. He (Mr. Gibson) was no party to the irregularity. Lord G. SOMERSET suggested that some means should be taken to prevent the opinions expressed in that report from going before the public as those of the committee. Mr. HUME, finding that his name, as a member of the committee, had been entered by the committee clerk as being present on the day in question, and agreeing to the ri port, had inquired by what authority this was done ? The answer of the clerk was, that neither he (Mr. Hume) nor either Mae other four members whale names were down was present on the occasion, but that he had entered the report as that of the committee by desire of the chairman. All he could say was that he bad net even seen the draft of the report, and could not have agreed to the opinions it declared. Perhaps, the better course would be to appoint a committee to inquire into the circumstances, in order that the report might be re moved from the journals. Ile believed the irregularity had arisen from the inexperier.ce of the hon. member for Inver nese—this being the first committee he had ever presided over—and he had no doubt it would be the list—(a laugh) —and in rome measure also from the inexperience of the committee clerk. _ . Lord G. SOMERSET augrested that tome explanation should be given as to the circumstances under which the chairmen had acted. Mr. N. GIBSON said, as the hon. member for Inverness was not present, they could not arrive at the particular cir cumstances under which he had acted. The SPEAKER understood from the committee clerk that the lost proceeding in the report which had been re ferred to took place under the auspices of the hon. member for Inverness, ao other member of the committee being pre sent at the time. On the last day on which the committee was summoned, it appeared that a draft report which had been prepared was entered as having been submitted and received. That proceeding was clearly irregular, as in point of fact no committee was formed. According to the rules, no report could be received, unites it was first put to the vote, and confirmed by a majority of the committee. (Hear, bear.) This, therefore, was clearly a most irregular pro ceeding, and it was a question for the house to determine, whether, under the circumstances, the committee of last session should be re•appointed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M. GIBSON would move for the re•appointment of the committee. INDIAN RAILWAYS. Mr. MACKlNlidli;isliecii; know irons the President of the Board of Control why the terms which had been offered to the two railway companies for forming railway communication is the southern districts of Bengal, had been refused to the North of Indian railway company ? Sir J. C. 11011110 USE replied that the reason why the proposal made by the East Indian company to the other two companies, bed not been offered to the °teat North of In dia company was, that that proposal had reference to two experimental lines which embraced both the upper and lower provinces of Bengal ; whereas, the Great North of Indian scheme referred only to the uppppeerr province. The experiment involving the greatest dimculties and the largest expenditure was the railway for the lower province; when that was carried out, the line for the upper province would be a matter comparatively of trifling importance, with regard to the expense and difficulty. INDIAN PRIZE MONEY. Captain LAiiiiiiaskedaquestioi distribution of the Khelaut and °hornet prise money, to which Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE answered that the prise money resulting from the capture of Kbelaut,:was now in coarse of distribution in India. With regard to the °hum.* prize money, a difficulty had arisen, which had occasioaed some delay. He believed, however, that orders had been given in December last which would remove the difficulty, and the , money would be very shortly—if it was not greedy—in course of distribution. (Hear, hear.) Mr. li. J. BAILLIE inquired when the prise money re rolling from the capture of Scinde would be paid ? Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE observed that difficulties had arisen also in that cue, and the matter had been referred by the prize agents to the Court of Directors and the Beard of Control. The Court of Directors had already come to a decision, and the questions referred were now under the con sideration of the Bard of Control: their derision would also be given very shortly, and the money would then be Paid- RELIEF WORKS (IRELAND). Captain HARRIS had read, circular that day in the papers from Captain Gilbert, the officer at the head of the Bard of Works of the Sligo' district, which was a document containing eraggesidons, which, under the present cireum- Mentes of Inhibit, were of a very valuable Ware.

Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that the eircullr, nada the circtunatimece of the country, was Meet judicious and proper. He would make it • point to inquire whether the circular had been issued as a general measure by the direc tions of the Board of Worla, or whether it was confined to Sligo. H. hylieced, however, that it was not general, hut that it had pr. needed solely from Captain Gilbert, in refer ence to the Sligo district. Captain H A RRIS hoped the notice would be made to a:- ply generally throughout the country. Mr. LABOCCR ERE had no doubt directions would be given by the Board of Works for that purpose. NAVAL SERVICE AND PRISONS. _ . . . Mr. WARD gave notice of the introduction of a bill to extend the period of service for boys in the Royal Navy, and of a bill to establish naval prisons, and to prevent desertion from the navy. Ile also gave notice of the postponement of the committee on the Docks, Harbours, and Piers Classes Dill from Tuesday to Thursday next. THE WELLINGTON STATUE. • Mr. C. siiiilLiTinfiuTn - 31;luTt;;;;;tie final inten tions of the government respecting the removal of this statue ; and whether, in the event of its being rc moved, they had taken any security for throwing the expense of removal en the Wellington committee Lord MORPHIM said it was the intention of the govern ment to remove the statue from its present site, and that men were sari any rngugcd in doing so. ETON MONTEM. . . Mr. JAMES asked if the decision of the provost and heed master of Etuu College to discontinue the montem was likely, as was suspected, to be reversed by high intlucnee, and if ao, whether it would not be desirable and proper to introduce a bill to exempt the young gentlemen who were engaged i t those diacreditsble triennial proceedings om the penalties to which they thereby su I ected themse Ilea? Thee went about collecting money; and for that were liab:o to be apprehended under the vagrant act—an offence which, if accompanitsl by threats, would amount to a charge of highway robbery. (Cries of " Order.") Lord J. RUSSELL said, that when the provost and head master informed het Majesty of their intention, they la quires' whether he (Lerd J. Russell) would advise her Ma jesty to interfere so as to induce them to forego or suspend it ; and his answer was, that the provost and bead master were the beat authorities by which such a question could be derided; and he therefore certainly would not advise her Majesty to interfere with their decision. (Hear.) SUGAR DUTIES. In reply to a question from Lord G. BENTINCO, Lord J. RUSSELL said it was perfectly true, when he proposed thu measure fur making the sugarduties permanent, that ho stated it to be the intention of the government not to alter the practice of allowing clam to be annually reviewed by parliamuut. Since then he had received representations from various quarters, alleging that considerable public in convenience would flow from such a courest; the subject was taken into consideration by the cabinet, end since the com mencement of the sesaiun, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had declared that they hail arrived at the determination net to propose that the present duties should be made annual. But there were various vote. amongst the miscellaneous and other estimate', and afterwards the Appropriation Act, which gave the house sufficient coetrol over them. EXPORT OF CORN FROM PORTUGAL. Lord J. MANNERS inquired if the government had received any authentic information to the °fleet tlmt the Por tuguese government had prohibited the exportation of corn from that e• ry ? Lard J. RUSSELL replied that some information had been received, hut declined to state the amount of it till to morrow (this day). VAGRANTS (IRELAND) BILL In reply to a question from Mr. FITZORRAI.II, Lord J. RUSSELL said it was his intention to introduce a vagrants' bill for Ireland before, or immediately after, Enver. DRAINAGE OF LAND BILL. Mr. CAYLEY observed, that of the 2,000.00f1f. to he granted under this bill, three fourths were for Sea:land, and one-fourth for England. This was very unfair, and he wished to brow wht User any further grant would be made hereafter to enable the landed proprieters of this count, y to derive the same advantage front the public money as those of Scotland? Sir O. GREY said that so far from thrre being any un fairness in the &unbutton of the grant, there was not a single application before the government, if the party mud. out their ease, which would not be granted to the extent of 10,000 f., the amount to which the loan was to be limited. THE CUSTOMS BILL.—THE RAILWAY BILL. Lord 0. BENTINCI: inquired when these bills wouldbe proceeded with ? Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER maid that, in consequence of the poor-law debate, he could not name an earlier day than Monday next, although ho had intended to take Friday ; but the gove rn ment would tint proceed with the Peer Relief Bill in committee. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL-ADJOURNED DEBATE. Sir W. CLAY resumed the debate on the question of going into committee on this bill. The opponents of the measure, he observed, had overhoked ore important consideration by dealing with it as if it conferred at once upon the :461e-bodied nn immediate and absolute right to relief, whereas it contained no such provision, and only gave them a right to relief through the intervention of the poor-law commissioners, in whom it vested a discretionary authority to • most unusual :text. It also gave to the executive go vernment large and extraordinary powers, but not greater than the =entity of the ease required. This country had shown its lei:howlers to relieve the suffering poor of Ireland in their present extremity; but there existed in it at the same time a strong feeling that Ireland should eventually be compelled to support her own poor, as in England and Scot land. Previous to the fusing of the present law, ever country in Christendom had a poor-law in some kern, excep Ireland. To the eternal disgrace of that country, as well as of England, it was passible for human beings to perish in it of famine, without any law by which they could obtain relief; and yet surprise was continually expressed at the soezal condition of Ireland—at its secret aseciations and agrarian outrages, as well no at the failure of the measures which were pawed to put down that state of things. Bat there was to be observed, through all their legislation, the greatest neglect of the condition of the Irish peasantry ; who could not be expected to rest contsnted with law. which merely checked and controlled them, but which brought them no additional comforts cr means of support. He was not one who was diapered to speak harshly of the conduct of landlords in Ireland, as it seas as unfair as unphi losophical to lay the blame on individuals which belonged to a system. It was, then fore, in no spirit of hostility to the proprietors of Ireland, that he supported a poor-law, hut be cause he believed it would add to their prosperity and wealth. The compel-Mon made by the right bun. gentleman the Recorder of Dublin, between the counties of Norfolk and Mayo, might hare been carried further, and it might have been shown that if the poor in England had not the security which they now possessed, Norfolk might be in the same situation aa Mayo. The principle of out-door relief had been preserved in the Amended Poor-low Act, for England, though it was placed under the supervision of a central board, and the experience of thirteen years had proved that it worked well and that out-door relief was the most effec tual relief that could be given to the poor. The report on the poor-law of foreign countries in 1834 showedjthat while a poor- law of some kind existed in every country, yet that af England was the most effectual for the relief of the poor ; and this opinion was stated by Mr:Berger in that report. He was not prepared to adds, all the vituperation which bad been cast on Dist heiMords by some news papers, or in the unmeasured lingeige used towards them by hi.: boss. friend the member for Bath. Yet 'tritium them might be fairly set the unmeasured language uttered in Con ciliation Hall fur a series of years. Yet he thought that was not the tone in which these subjects should be discussed. He was desirous that the landlords of Ireland should be mole the main instruments of the regeneration of Ireland, and therefore he gave his willing assent to the Landed Property Bill. He believed that tho treasures of the government were for the benefit of Ireland, and he should support them as he would have done others of which he entertained the same opinion which came from any part of the house, and believing also that they were actuated by the best intentions towards England as well as Ireland, they should receive his cordial support. Captain JONES, who was very indistinctly heard, was understood to say that it had been raid by the noble lord at the head of the government that the rating in Ireland was Sid. in the pound. That was so in 1846, when the number of paupers in the workhouses was 43,764; but in 1847, when the numbers were 101,889, the rating was 14d. in the pound. He was not a party to the resolutions which had been passed by what was called the Irish party, for he thought those resolutions should have admitted that the poor should be supported from the soil, and not be leg entirely to the can of the government. He was long ego of opinion that an ex tension of the poor-law system in Ireland was n and that every man had a nght to relief subject to thl e rn it ri'. house test, but he was not then an advocate for out-door re lief. lie feared the result of general out-door relief would be to place the rate-payer in a worse position than the pau per. But he was now for an extension of out-door relief in Ireland, and if he rightly understood the noble lord (J. Rus sell) it was intended that no out-door relief should be given until the workhouses were full; and if the bill was altered to that effect. he should have no objection to It. Mr. V. STUART raid that while he was quite ready to concur in the measure which was now propounded hy her Majesty's government, he would not be a party to the blame which, in the course of the present debate, had been cast upon the boards of guardian, in Ireland. It should not he forgotten that in Ireland the poor-law commissioners, instead of meeting the views of the guardians, had seemed to desire to act in opposition to them i the selection of Bites for work houses was an instance of this, and the consequence had been that a lad feeling between the two bodies had been gene rated. Still he maintained that the boards of guardian. had properly discharged their duty. With respect to the poor law itself, it was not at all suited to the feelings of the Irish people—it was contrary to their habits to become subject to the restraints which residence in the workhouse entailed, and to this cause, coupled with the fact that the poorest dew was ready to share its last potato with a distressed neighbour, was to be attributed the circumstance that the weelthouaes had not been full of inmates. (Hear, hear.) Materlthstanding this, his impression was most strong in Seem of a measure which should enable the boards of guar dian. in Ireland te administer out-door relief. The present law, on the failure of the potato crop, Lad proved a perfect fame, and believing that the measure now brought forward ley her Majesty's government was absolutely necessary, he dimalel give to it his hearty support. Mr. O. A. HAMILTON complained of the manner in which charges had been brought against individuals who were not in parliament, and, therefore, unable to meet them, by the hon. baronet, the member for Marylebone, (Sir B. Hall) and by the hon. member for Mayo, and still more gnat he complain that from these charges inferences had been drawn, inculpating the whole class to which the parties charged belonged. The hon. hart. had also indulged in attacks • upon the supineness of the residents in the union of Kan , turk in the county of Cork. In reference to these attacks he (Mr. Hamilton) had received a letter from a gentleman mai ' dent in that district, Mr. Leader, the son of a former member
