The Earl of GALLO WAY, after presenting the petition from the county of Wiglos, said he only hoped that the right rev. palate (the Bishop of Oxford), who had charge of the bill for the protection of women, would be more success ful in its management than his predecessor had been. He would take that opportunity, with their lordships' perms sioe, of compLdning of a misrepresentation which he had emu Ia the Tines newspaper of that day of what fell from him in the house yesterday. It was in the reeffiteetion of their loedshipe, bat for the informatice of any noble lords who were not present on the occasion to whisk he referred, he begged leave I: rt s e a d y that his emaplalat was sot that be had not been re because for that he dance care one straw, but that bad been misreported ; not that he complained of the things which he said net having been reported, bat of things bevies been pat into hie month which he never said.nd: was also represented to have addressed their lordships with great hwy. He did not know whether that wee altogether a parliamentary phrase. (Hear, hoar.) Had that appeared as an editorial remark, he should nut have compkiaed ; but, es it appeared in a regular account of what pared in their lordship' house, he thought he had souse claim to throw himself open their indulgence. He might have spoken with energy, but certainly it was without anger. Umber a seam of kjesties done, or under the influence of great excite ment, a man might speak with warmth, but not with anger. (Hear.) He believed he spoke good humouredly. He inteaded to do so. If he failed—(cheer) —he thanked their lordships for that cheer—if he failed to empress Mengel( good humouredly ha must apologies to their lordships. (Cheers.) This was another and a strong ex ample of the misrepresentations which often took place in the reports of the proosedines of the heam—misrepresenta doss %imam to lower the character of the house, sad the character of Um members of the house. (Hear, hear.) The Berl MWOUNTCASHEL woo in the same situa tion. He seldom troubled their lordeldes with long speeches, bat semetisme, particularly on Irish saltier s he felt it his duty to do so. He had on various esessiene indeavoured to explain away certain false impressises whisk hod pas abroad to the public. He had eadamenred to sat the public Wad right, bat hated unifirmly fenadthat what ha mid wee either mierepreinated or sot balked at an. He did not see why ens subs lord should have the favour of the reporters is that house, and another sot, and be totally cast aside. He than.= game say, ho did hope that the reporters would be brought wider NON better control ; and, if they were to be 'maimed the wpm for conveying to the public what pared M that home, they should give full, fair, sufficient and cotreet reports. (Hear, hear) Earl GREY did not complain on the general ground which the noble earl bed taloa who had jolt eat down, but he fiend that ke stood is the same predicament, for there was& very important mistake fa the report of what he said the ether Peaks, which he wan most anxious to correct. As far es he had reed the report, it appeared to him to be exceediagly sweet, but a noble friend had called his atten dee te ayamege whisk he thought was of 1311111 importance, sad Ilia WI satiably given in annum: the very opposite of whet Mad say. The passage is Use report was as fol lows " Bat he was not prepared to say that that het* would condom if so gross an act of isjusdee, as in their opinion it would be, should be esisseitted se that of the rejection of this mss He believed that if their lordships should throw est MI bi, they would part with the last security for the attashesent of them missies to the British crown.

He should lament most emeeffingly if it were le go out to Canada that he coull have his. to have said that he believed the connection of that with this country was likely soon te he (Rear.) The whole drift of his speech wee the opposite. What he did say was, he believed the Ceeedians weem bu tcss o U loyal and attached to this room try, Ind were daily more so.

He ford ft staled by a seaman who bad rendered great series in the radars of what might have been thought at one time tn. n expenditiere—tiat panthers was reported to have that Is manyeerts of England the rates were much higher thew May hei been in Ireland. In • parish in Norfolk, ler biIiMINS, Me rates had amounted to 16s. 6d. in the paned, sad diem 11•141 away other perishes in which the rates for the lot he ran lad bass more than in Ire land. It was reperell Wham bees said by another member that every gnat pertain the misery mad poverty of the muatry, and that the 60,0001. grated would leave Coanaught men marble than it was balsa ; sad it was farther stated h u str omd css. dean who held a distiessisked port in the which preened the prima scoorament, that this mud be the last gnat, when it we remembered that Irked paid no property tax, no messed taus, and that the Rados Cur an erdts was lower than it was in Emboli. It, earl that gentleman, there meet be rates in aid, they must ha mimed in Ireland herself. Such seemed to be the general haling ofthe other house of parliament. Ho had said that the government were disposed to propose to par:lament to persevere in the course which had hitherto bees pursued of applying for mid from the imperial resources until better days arrive, and until more permanent and sub stantial modes of relief, net only were devised, but had Maned their hoped-for fruits. The goverassat, how ever ware enable to gain the acquires's* of paella medi to • aratinuanes ot such • rune. The actual pra ises of the Mil of which he bad to move the second reeding weft very concise. They authorised the pro-s* nasomis. doers to levy • rate in aid upon all unions and electoral divisions of tread for the relief of such unions or electoral divisions as they should conceive at the time stood in need of such ester* aid—that the rate in aid should be limited to the amount of sixpence in the posed of the peorlaw valuation for the resent year and the year immediately pereding. The Semester of • county we authorised to impound • half army rate which might be collated for the relief of the poor mar the amount of six pence in the ppaouunnd had besa obtained. The amount which it was akalated this rate would prodnee it it should be raised throughout the whole of Inland was 323,0001., and that coupled with the 60,0001. already voted for the present year would Mbar-and the amount of contributions out of re fund to which it was necessary to apply, fromexclu sive sours, in sid of the distress of Leland hat year. Every union had been 11114141 liable under the bill turn rate in aid. If the entire sum raised by the rate in aid should not be suf frier to meet the expenditure which the government deemed it necessary to incur, still it would be the duty of ber Majesty's ministers to expend a further amount for the =of praying life on the credit of the rate in aid. 111 the exact case, then, the government had to deal with ? There were a number of insolvent micas to the west of the Shannon in Ireland. Thom anima were utterly im potent as to their self-support Minister thought that in all ark anions support ought to . bs given, and for their relief MIS government considered they had a right to look to Irish 41111.111f0111. Twenty-one of those unions were absolutely de peasat on relief from without. Ten or a dozen more were is a seedy similar condition, and one hundred unions in baud parsed a greater or lees degree of capability to al gid th e insolvent unions. The volumes of many, if not the majority, of the eras' in Dieter did not Mina Is. Pd. to the pound. In Muster It was Ss. Md., and in Waiter le. 1144. in the pound. dad ia order Ma dire should be no room for believing that the aims in these three provinces were unfairly leer* he would rate that there were many unions in Rig hted Midi were not in • mere prosperous condition than semi of the Irish animas were. There were, according to the returns of the poor law aonamissioners, twenty unions in =::1 where the rates were 4s. Id. in the pound ; twenty paying 81. 1144. in the pound; sad four or Iva trwhere the rates were as high as Ma lie. IL to in the pound. The opposition to the resent as sure arose, as he conceived, from an objection to the par airs of the bill. Re could sot adroit that it was prepay asked why Antrim and Belfast should be called upon to ear tribute to the relief of Connaught any more than Warta shire. Thor who made this rowan ought le es collect that Ragland paid 12,000,0001. of ammesed sad other taxes, from which Ireland was totally enseept. Was there anything unfair, therefore, Is mating the more favoured porticos of Ireland, whir wen net so highly taxed as Ragland and Sesdand, to contribute he a limitedlsial to the alleviation of so unpartisan and se saute • es of disteem as was oshibited at their own errs ?

He had been told that this clamour would be futile ; that the workhouse test would be insisted upon. Mr. Nichols had declared to him his r i•tiect conviction that it world be utterly fatal to give oat-door relief; but what he had foreseen came to pass ; with the first great *comity tune the cry for out-door relief—a cry which he had resisted to the weiost of his power, regard less of all the insinaat one, all the detinnebtious of hard heartedness towards the poor, which, epos all such occasions, persons acting as he had telt it to be his duty to act, were constantly exposed to. (Hear, hear.) Yet he could safely say that no ma was less fairly open to the imputation of in difference to the sufferings of the people than he was. (Herr, hoar.) There was no one who had more opportunities than he of witnessing the sufferings, not only on the part of the humbler climes, bet en the part of those whose condition seemed above the probable reach of actual destitution. And great their sufferings were—greater mullion the public con ceived. (Hear, hear.) Among the must distressed, the clergy saffered bitterly. There were many clergymen whom he had known exposed to the absolute want of toed. There were BOOS of clergymen whom he bad known with drawn 'lrma college for want of funds to continue them there, and who had enlisted, some of them se common soldiers, and had gone, some of them, to break stones on the roods, as the only mounts easiest starvation. (Hear, hear.) All these parties attributed timer destitution to the operation of the poor law—to the crushing pressure of tte rates. Unless some more decided security were Riven for the stop ping of what he mirth call the eating canker of 'Tetrad, whatever eonfidenee he might feel is the good intentions of the governmeat, or however deep might he mousse( the ex treme distr.'s which prevailed in Ireland, he could not sup port the meagre. Lord BRAIIIION could not agree with the noble lord who had moved the amendment in la) ing the whole blame of their pr sent position on the government. Some portal of that blame mast in justice be borne by Irish members. Considering the opinion which had been ex pressed by their lordshipi' committee, and the views enun ciated out of doors, he thought the Prime Minister had taken • fair and proper course in calling Irish members to mother, in order to consult them. It had been admitted on all hands that unless there were a grant of money the people must starve; and the choice of that something was the only question remaining for decision. He blamed Irish members for acting uncandady and ungenerously; he blamed the 4overnuent for want of resolution. The &tied of this measure, like that of every poor law, was to relieve those who were totally incapable of supporting themselves ; and he felt build to say that he feared it would fail to effect that object. A malarial rate of 6d. in the pound would increase the number of those who could not obtain • sustenance by their own eurtione, and at the same time diminish the resources of those who would be called upon to p iy. A national rate Involved the destruction of local interest la economy. It was of the essence of eco nomy of administration that the levying of rates should not extend over the whole community. The measure was also opposed to the principle that those who levied rates ought to be the representatives of those who paid them. Thus were sacrificed at the same time economy of administration, and one of the chief inducements to pay willingly. (Hear, hear. ) Such would be the at as regarded the paying districts. But it should be remembered tba-. there were some parts of Ireland, the inhabitants of which would have actually an interest in the increase of the amount of pauperism, because in proportion as pauperism Increased would money be the more likely to flow in from less distressed districts. Coder such circamstanees it was imposaible to fix any limit to the ex•ension of pauperism. A great portion of the rate would WI upon lessors. Here he could not help remarking that the measure was in direct opposition to that principle of individual responsi bility which had been laid down as the basis of lezislation on such subjects. (Hear, hear.) Individual responsibility . was an admirable thing, but this measure tended to diminish and to destroy it. As regarded the capitalist, it was clear that he would be reluctant to purchase an estate for which he would be liable to pay a rate out of his own district, and Ire amount of which would he regulated by the amount which he expended on improvements. (Hear, hear.) An other objection which be felt to the measure was, that it actually led to the Idea of a separation between the two countries. He did not imagine that the present state of Ireland would be her permanent state, al though a rate in aid would toad to prolong itsdura tion. He believed that Ireland was now in • transition state. Every day be perceived that she was progressing towards another state of things. An ceded she would un doubtedly have to go through; but he felt assured that she was on her way to a better state of things, and the very evils complained of were necessary to the change. Regard ing it solely on its own merits, he could not give a vote wdsh would in effect be a vote in favour of a system of national ruing. The question was no longer we to the people being kept from starving; it was only as to the species of ',corky to be given for the advances made ' • and, disapproving of that proposed, he should strenu ously oppose the bill. The Ben of 1108811 said the practical objections to the working of the rate in aid lad been very ably stated ; he concurred is thus objections ; but with him the strongest argument against the measure was the principle it involved. That principle was wholly unprecedented; every attempt to produce a prudent bad entirely broken down; the bill pro =dad with property in Ireland on principles totally hem those which were regarded in England. The asserary oast of this must bete depreciate the vales of property, and to render the employment of labour still more precarious. (Hear, hear.) He item no good reason why Ireland should not be taxed precisely in the same way se Zeeland or Scotland—why • man having 1601. a-year in Ireland should not pay the looms tax and as for the m ussed tans and sumptuary tales, he though they had been rather a but& to this country than ot herwise. He re potted that • proposal made some years ago for premeds, emigration from Ireland, had not bees earrisd eat. It was a great 'mistake to suppose that :the misery of Connaught was owin to the estates being en ounbersed. In Mayo, where Sir it . Farman, anunencum bered proprietor, had • large estate, there was as much MM any other heweverdeeply encumbered. (Hear.) C y r apiabs, she first step to by taken was to improve the admlailamlen of the present poor law. The commis 11111111N1 bed Idled la their duty fn not giving timely advice to the boards of guardians, but leaving them very much to pursue their own course with re.ard to out-door relief. Supposing that system of relief to be mugged in as perfect • lumen as parity's ' it was inevitable that its adop tion would rapidly Ucressethe amount et claimants on the rates; it consequently ought not to be resorted to without 1 1 =an. He would propose that five or six able men divide the mousy into districts, end see that each mdemawasd a proper course in the relief of the poor. Next mast get rid of out-door relief as early as possible. This t be very difilcult ; but in many onions the in-door amommodatioa might be increased at a light expense. Then, it was most desirable to separate the administration of the Irish poor law as much as possible from the Irish executive (gear, hear.) Having improved the administration of the pose law, let them then apply the same principles cf taxa ilren 10 Ireland es to this country, and treat her, In fact, as an English county. (Hear, hear.) He had no faith is the project for the plantation, as it had been sad a dfiesuaght. (Hear.) No doubt at was de dyable le IMMO the sole of land ; but it was much more impeded le Om hailities for emigration. (Hear.) If a division 116 w labia ea this bill, he should certaisly support massineeme. The Many* of CLANRICARDE said that many of the aidectioas whisk had been urged against the measure ap rutto erimi eat of a total rnoneeptioa of its character. not istegild as • permanent but a temporary Ines suro—as an expedient% meet a great and pressing emergency. With reference to the speech of the noble earl who had spoken before him, be thought there could be no difficulty in admittlag to him that it was the feeling of the Belli* peeps and the Intention of parliament that Irish P generally must make a great effort towards relievin c ra mitigating the general distress of Ireland. Ile (the Marquis of Clanricarde) had moved for certain returns, and they had been recently laid upon their lordships' table, which showed the highest, the lowest, and the average amounts of poor rate laded en the various Irish unions. These returns same down to the month of September, 1848. The gunge rate aimed on any union did note:seed 4e. a2 b e7ll pence—the Wield did not exceed Is. and a traction in the peaall. ba goit" and expressions of dissent from the mo des ) Wes it possible that a district comprisiss hem Orem fur hundred thousand souls could be converted into • mica of starving paupers by any poor rate of this descriptios ? He would now proceed to mention the highest actual rating that had been made, as it appeared on the face of these returns; and it seemed that in March, 1848, it had !sicked so high a point as 11" 6d. in the pound (Cries of Hear, " and , ' Ob.") Noble lords would be Pleased to revolted that he had already stated his returns came down only to the month of September. He defied noble lords to show how the ruin and misery of the small farmers and all others connected with the occu pation of the land and its cultivation could have been less, when they had naturally anticipated that the crops of the disastrous ears they had passed through is 1847 and 1848 would be o f the game average yield as usual.

He was of opinion that money could not be better spent than on a lugs sedans of Irish emigration, judiciously, cautiously, and earthilly conducted. LIZ the first four months of 1847 she total number of emigrants who had quitted these island' for various destinations was 90,742, end epithelia emigrants the great majority wens Irish. In 1848, the number weseoinewhat less :it we, deed, only 74,829. In 1849, first four months, it bad incre ased to 104,710. It must be apparent to noble lords, from these fi gures, that there had been no discourage ment, no obstacle, to the course of Irish emigration. (Hear.) In conclusion, he trusted that the house would gin to the measure their prompt sweat. E rl FITZ WILLIAM would ask Heists measure, new in. troduced as a temporary but indispensable measure of present relief, was really calculated to produce the effects anticipated from it, why had it not been brought in in October last ? Her Majesty's government not having given their lordships an opportunity of expressing their opinion upon this mea sure till, u his noble friend the Postmaster-General in *rated them, within a fortnight of the period when the lives of thousands of the people of Ireland were placed in jeopardy, he was sorry to be obliged to come to the conclu sion that they had not performed their duty to that hours as they ought to have done. (Hear, hear.) He would not, however, be deterred by any threat of that kind from doing what he believed to be bit duty to the people of Ireland by voting for the amendment of his noble friend who moved the postponement ca the measure. Ho entirely agreed with those who did not think the measure eitherjost or adequate. The sum which it +u estimated would be rei ed under the bill was about 326,0001. But this estimate was made upon fallacious data, for it was formed upon the valuation which existed previous to the failure of the last three years. (Hoer.) Bet did say one really believe that the Immense mw of persons who bad to be relieved in Ireland could be relieved under 500,0001. at least ? The funds proposed to be raised under the bill, even if realised—which he did not think would be the case—would not be adequate to meet the emergency. (Hear, hear) But a greater objection than the inadequacy of the measure was its injustice. He had been anxious, he had been curious, to find any persons in this country who approved of it. H. could nut find one. Hs doubted very much whether any of his noble friends who proposed it would say that it was a just an,usurs. His noble friend who had just sat down bad said everything with regard to it, ex cept that it was just. Why was it unjust? There were stunt 2,600 eleetor.d divisions in Ireland. Thew electoral divisions had done everything they could to maintain the paupers which they Genuine& Having performed this duty, on what principle of justice should the electoral divi 'ion of Antrim or Wexford be taxed over again to supply the deficiency of Galway or M.yo ? (Hear, hear.) Tney might with as much justice call upon the parishes of Kent or Northumberland to supply the deficieeey. The taxa tion .of Ireland was more than she could bear, and she broke down nadir it as a natural censeqnence. Thee had no right, then, te plead the low taxation of Ireland in justification of this measure, and yet it was the only justifi cation alleged. (Hear, hear.) On whet plea could they tax the electoral divisions of Antrim or Wexford, and not tax the par.sties of England ? Did they mean to repeal the union ? (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Da they mean to say that Ireland wax a nation? ("Hear, hear.) He b,iieved that if the House of Commons had the _ whole case put before them fairly and openly in the first instance, they would have voted a much larger sum than the 60,0001. which the government bad biked of them as easily us they had voted the smaller sum. (Hear.) He hat said that this measure was inadequate and unjust, but the greatest objection that he bad against it wee, that it had nothing about it of what he should call an executory principle. One of the great arts of the science of legislation, was to make laws execute themselves—that is to say, that they should be framed is such a manner that the different parts should ensure the execution one of another. Now this bill con tained no execute ay ;wimple, because it did not invest any party with either as later, st cr with the power to see that it was properly executed. The unless of Ulster which were to be taxed fur the d fluency of Connaught had no control whatever over the adminitoration of the funds—the unions - - . 1 . 3 - 1 Antrim or Wexford would have . no means whatever of checking the extravagance or diminishing time pauperism of Clare or Racconnion. For this reason he would prefer to see the income tax imposed in Ireland. But then he should propose that the distress in Ireland should be relieved out of the proceeds of the intone tax, and the surplus should be paid into the imperial exchequer, which would hold out • strong inducement to the Wiest cellor of the Exchequer to see that the funds for the relict of the poor were economioally administered. He did not believe that thousands of the people of Ireland would be left to die by the government even if this bill did not pass; and, under these circumstances, he should vote for the amendment of the noble earl. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of St. GERMANS saw no alternative in the present position of affairs in Ireland than to per the present bill. If he were asked why he supported the measure when he was tell that the amount levied by the rate in aid would fall short of the sum required to meet the exigencies of Ireland, he could only ally that he did so because the _present measure implied a contract be tween the people of Ireland and the parliament of England that if the Irish would make en effort to contribute their quota, the imperial parliament would step forward and sup ply the remainder of what was necessary to relieve the neves skim of that coney ; and ih rakes, notwithstanding all his objections to the principle of the bill, be could not resolve to encounter the reepnaibility of voting against it. Lord MONTEAGLE said that the peculiarity of the present debate was,where to look for the supporters of the government bill. His noble friend (the Earl of Carlisle) could not be classed as one, for his whole speech was con demnatory of the measure. But this was net all. Both committees had decided against the bill. Their lordships' committee had reported an opinion condemnatory of it by a majority of 14 to 6. Nor was there an individual member of their lordships' committee, otherwise than officio], who had not voted against the principle. The com mittee of the House of Commons also condemned the principle of the bill, with one exception. He would not truth's their lordships with reading the report of the com mittee, but he would challenge the government to produce one iota of evidence in its favour in the whole of the blue book. Mr. Twisleton also had preferred resigning his office to carrying out the rate in aid, an act which did him the greatest honour. AU the petitions that had been pre sented on the subject were loud in their complaints against the rate in aid; and out of 105 Irish representatives, 80 had voted against the bill—and would it be pretended after such a manifestation of Irish sentiment that justice was don to Ireland by pasting the Dill ? It had been argued as a rea son for agreeing to the measure that 100,0001. had bean already advanced out of the imperial treasury on the security of the rate in aid. He for his owe part re pu diated a debt incurred on such security, for he believed that the rata in aid would be as unproductive as it was unjust, and it was as unjust as it was impolitic. He called on their lordships, therefore, to dismiss the subject of the 100,0001. advance from their minds, for that would never be got back by means of a rate in aiJ. Let there be some thing large, something noble proposed for the amelioration of the condition of Ireland, and then those economists who stumbled over a grant of 50,0001. would not hesitate to give millions to extricate Ireland from her present difficulty. He was not one of these who obji cted to make a sacrifice, but let it be effectual, let it strike at the root of pauperism in Ire land; but as for an advance, or a loan, or a rate in aid for the miserable purpose of keeping paupers alive, he would give has assent to no such measure. Such a measure as this would n be permitted in Eng land. The effect merely of the announcement of the rate in-aid had already been to put a practical end to tenant right in the path of Inland. They must introduce an Encumbered Estates Bill, bet unless this rendered Ireland an eligible habitation, they would find no customers for the disencum bered estates. Lord AUDLEY said that having heard no proposi tion of a more practical nature for the relief of the distresses of Ireland, he should support the bill. This measure should not be regarded by itself, but in connexion with others which were, be trusted, to follow. The Earl of WICKLOW could not admit that there had been any disposition on the part of Irish landlords to shift burdens from their own shoulders. Every Irish landlord in that hones who had spoken on the subject had expressed a readiness to boar his share of taxation,- the objection was to the pro peed mode of levying it. The measure had, in fact, been condemned by the government. The noble marquis (the' President of the Council) had declared that no consideration could induce him to propose such a measure, bat for the p.- eulier circumstances of the can. Each of her Majeat ministers had condemned the measure, end stated that would not support it without giving security against ors extension of its principle ; and yet it had now been admitted by all in debate that, If the measure were poised, it would be impossible to prevent the extension of the principle. If the government would propose a substitute for this measure I. the House of Commons It would, he doubted not, be without difficulty. Coisidetiog the large number oirdst members who had opposed the measure he was surprised I that they should proceed with it. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he felt bpund to explain distinctly the grounds which had induced the government to proceed with this measure, and what they did, and what they did not, expect to result from it. If he thought that by voting for this measure he would be affirm ing the principle of a rate in aid as a permanent mode of providing relief, nothing could induce him to take that course. But it was one thing to condemn the permanent adoption of a principle, and another thing to vote for it as a temporary expedient. What were the circumstances ender which the measure had been proposed ? At the commencement of the session it was proposed to the cher house to provide by • grant for the relief of the extreme destitution which then revelled in the watt mad the south west of Ireland. The argument most urged by those who had opposed such grants was that there appeared to be no disposition on the part of Ireland itself to make any contribution towels!s the object. Connected as he was with Ireland by the pee session of property in that country, he thought that Ireland, not being taxed equally with Great Britain, the inequality constituted a reason why a special ffort should be made by bar to relieve the prevalent distress. (Hear, hear.) A noble lord (Lord Beaumont) hod spoken of Ire land as in the sot of puling through a Iranian state, sod had observed that there were certain necessary evils connected with such a state. He (the Marquis of Laudowne) would remind the noble lord that • part of the transition was the transition from life to death—(hoar) — and that while they bowed to the decrees of Prnideaes, at was their duty, as a Christian legislature, to endeavour to mitigate the sufferings of their fellow-subjects, and, if pos sible, to prevent the destruction of masses of the population. (Hear.) It was because her Majesty's government had ob served is the other house an indisposition to moist Ireland eaten some effort wan made by Ireland herself, that they had introduced this imannt, notwithstanding all the objec tions to which it was liable. A noble friend of his asked why the government had not had reeounetoan income tax. ply to that he could say that the strong ' , pension er which first emanwed from the representatives fee Inlay ogee vanished when it became known that a commit% rr that house had reoommended the adopt ion of an tunas ore: (laughter.) From that moment they becam e Cent ea subject. The recommendation operated like a ger m So fu from Irish members having evinced a dieportg ok adept ea Income tax, only 17 were found to vote ke (Hear, hear.) Under those circumstances the go had no alternative but to pursue the course they beg d o ,. Still, no plea of necessity would have justified them in er their lordahins to adopt this ma permanent measure. Tee; was the security of the hal itself, and of the declustioad Lord J. Russell in the other hose., that the am shoaled co l continue for two years; and he would now Fa y, on A. Ng of the government collenively, that under no ointragsagg did they intend its operation to be prolonged boyom t h e period. (Hear, hear.) If extraordinary relief wen itat needed, it must be founded on a bruise end nes general principle. (Hear.) The proposal to apply th repayment of the workhouse grants for this purvey k ,, d4 ohnously have been much more partLl and unrest trig% present measure. Any scheme for promoting endemis m a large scale would not only have been extremely cos* hi this oountry, but would raise an alcost insuperable*** to the improvanent of Ireland. There was then seethe remedy left but that which this bill proposed. In theme. of a tew years, he hoped that its benefici.l operatics west' become plainly visible. He was far from supposing that k would have all the SWIMS which might be desired. It ,e impossible accurately to estimate either the amount olds* tution, or the amount which this rate would produce.
