If this teem. we true, there would be bat little cans for =, and It might reasonably be hoped that Ireland the nest, sad that better days ware denier upon her. tfahnsastaly, however, they had other ',ideate of at least es hie a dee% bat of • different Mars:ter. Is tioa to the widen, which lied ben quoted the othe aUaddi ht by the tight hoe. baronet (Sir R. Peal) of the land wMch had bees allowed to go out of cultivation, they had the eel. dens of Col. Knox Gore, Captain Hamilton, end others, clawing that in this very anion of Bailin, so late as April last, so sensible improvement had taken place—that 68,0001. was due for sneers of poor rate, and that only 10,0001. has boss collected daring the last year. It appeared that if the evil ruder which belied was suffering was not distinctly seem It was impossible that the remedy could be effectual, sad that it was their duty, whatever ware the measure pro posed, to compare It with the evil which it protean to remedy—in other words, to ascertain whet relation there was between the milady sad the cure. They should ask them selves AMID questions: what was the reel evil to be cured ; in what way did the mann proposed address Walt to the evil : had they aseertansed whether the evil was • temporary or a paresennt cue ? and, if it ware a cent oat, had they addressed themselveo to it witr a t " c:, forethought, and dirrissination ? In the present circum stances ut Ireland they bad to am at the immediate preser vation of life, the restoration of healthful agrieultural eels tine and the establishment of feelings of sympathy and coo firiesee between the two tenures. (Hear, hear.) Now, the right hoc gentleman the Chancellor of the Reneguer, had broadly stated ;kat legislation could not do everything for Ireland, that you caul i not by law instil =ry or January late the people. But, if you could not de narer indweety into the people by law, could you y Vans t (Hear.) But he denied the proposition elene dee inefficiency of legislation to aid :he people. No one had mid that legislation could do everything, but wipes who imillel that it could de nothing was wide of the mark. You reel set by legislation make a man walk; but, If &viola lades had teed his limbs, it could remove the restric ting which prevented him from movies them. Loans perpetuated bankruptcy, retarded improvement, and taught imillastty to less na external aid. It was• syr.ma asorkelesesee "in ink', Ince it retained a state of things nomad, iniacient, and delusive. When he spoke thus he referred to loos, not given upon any defined or iutelligible pointy, but wastefully, earelrealy, ruins may advanced upon isolated, tinconnecui measurer, eachas the house had been in the habit of sleeting. It was upon these grounds that le entered his peeled against the present loan. lie did not object to it as a messy gnat ; on the contrary, he would aunt to well rinalated grants of money, even to • much larger intent; bat they mast be upon a system dint, intelligible, and bees- Mil. Sir G. GREY expressed his surprise that the hon. eentle men who had just resumed his mot, and who had indulged is a irate of invective against the bill, should have eon. tented Maiself with simply entering his protest against it, end net have mend u an amasdment that it be read a asond cep that day sin mouths. If he (Sir 0. Grey) held sham in= to Ines of the hos. gr ottoman, be Mould see have troMed the measure so lightly. If he believed that the 600,111111 L ware to be thrown away and wasted, he 'odd not lave reconciled it to himself, as a num b r ef that house, to enter his protest against the west* of that money, and then to sit still and suffer the hill M pea. (Hear, hear.) But he must recall the atten dee (lithe home to some of the facts stated by his right bon blend the Cheapener of the Exchequer In proposing the lean, and which the hon. member for Cockermouth (M.r. Haranui) had overlooked or suppreeed in dealing with the =tof hi right boo. friend, although he hid bad ample o read it in the newspapers. Now, the stamen of W right boa. Mani ea he the ground of this bill, and that had Wiled tee bone, though it appeared not to = la estillei the Ws. member for Cockeenouth, was, that a la had lees and was already passed by parliament hr , and Ireland, for the improvement of the seß, its productiveness, and affording relief to massy—that the money silenced would not be thrown away, bet that it would render a valuable return to the priori,- Mrs en whose estates it was required, and that it would im prove the estates by increasing the productiveness of the soil. In England and Scotland, the results anticipated when the lean of 2,000,0001. had been given, were to a great ea teat maned. The fail benefits of that appropriation had sot as yet been witseesed, because the whole of the money was set ezpseded. Bat what was the statement of his right bus. Wad with regard to Ireland? Why, that under the edemas already mad* by parliament, 23,000 able lecedi-el men, representing ! population of 100,000, were now smideyed end were receinag wages, and that as the loan was charged upon the estate there was no risk of losing any =of it. The Loa. timber bad alluded to the en- G of Mr. Bourke sad Captain Hamelin, and said that loans wend aot be applied for is the western districts, bat the feet was, that they bad bees applied for by those ditties, and that they were now contributing lor ly to the employ asset of the people.

That boo. end learned ',mem said in his opinion the bfil was suicidal as regarded the Imullords of In lead. Now he (Mr.Xecils)must Peploses to differ with the hen. and leaned gentreman, as s he believed the bill was cal culated to do the greatest g o od all clue in that country, from the poor, humble, oocupving tenant, up to the proprir our biased. (Hear, hear.) The proprietor whose estates were so heavily encumbered, that he had no means now to cultivate them, as he ought, although he had to wheels the starratice of his tenantry, whom employment would wit only none from rein, bat advance in the scale of sivilisition, would be sand by the measure, so would the memory themselves. The boo. and learned palletise Seed that the bill proposed to ctenfrr extraordi nary discretionry peas upon the three comminutes to be amen neer it ,• now, in that respect, likewise, he had the indolent, of differing from the hos. member. As he (Kr. Keogh) read the bill, the powers with which the commissinere were to be invested were reasonable 'sough. The directions given could not be more clear or specific. The ninth section required the commissioners to frame and r haulms forms of application and directions, i n dic a ting the particulars of the informatics necessary to be furnished, ea application to them. First, with reference to title; then, as to incumbrancer, the special circumstances of the lend, and each other information as in the judgment of the commie, 'loners might assist them in forming en opinion on the appli cation. The abieteenth section 'ethernet the commissioners to direct notices to be given to, and to hear any parties interested in the land or lease ; it farther stated that they should investigate the title end the ineumbrances affecting such lease and hod, and the state end circumstances of the land, seas to enable them to determine whether it +Geld be expedient that a sale of all or say p• rt of it es weld be astir, sad if such • sale should be expedient, then that they should be empowered at their dimities to make an order for the sale of all or an parte( seek Ind or of the land .emptied in the lame. That was undoubtedly a very proper war to invest the commissioners with. Aay person ia po terested in the property might apply to the comesimiosen, and should be heard; specific nstiem to all peons concerned being given, and, after a strict investigation of all the eireumetancee, the commis& .0. en exercised their discretion as to the expediency of a sale.

He should endeavour to to give hS best anistance to make the details es perfect as pedble, and realest° hinted( the opportunity of consider the bill in its amended slate, and opposing or support ing it, as he might think it useful to the country. He had head tonight fee the first time that there wee no such a thing as a marketable title is Ireland . The mil had been mach aggravated, not by the Court of Chancery, but by the legislature of the country. In 1838 parliament gave power to the judgment creditor to appoint • r. giver, and there was so greater evil in Ireland at this moment than the mul tiplication of receivers over property. He bad been Wormed by ea* of the Masters, that • large pot ties of his time was occupied every day in appMating receivers, because every man who had a - jadonest of the smallest sweat could apply to have a receiver. la 1841 another act was parsed giag judgment enditen an additional power of treating their judgments as specific equitable imumbeasess, the same se if the party had charged the lead.

The SOLICITOR GENES AL in moving that this bill be read a second time, ezpleinen that its object was to path,e certain defects in the elocution of powers with which boo. and learned members who were in the habit of attending the courts of law and equity were no doubt familiar. The best explanation which perhaps he could give would be to describe es instance in which the law as it stood at present worked unfairly. A person having property on the Lanka of the Thames obtained a private act of parliament em. powerieg him to grant building leases, provided that in the lease granted the highest rent possible was reserved. But it wee customary to grant leases at a pepper corn rest for the first year, reserving a high one for future ran. In Inch cases tiro lease might be set aside for infor mality; sad to prevent that injustice was the object of the prreat bill. lie proposed to effect it by giving certain powers to the Court of Chancery, which would be explained in the three short dau , ss of the bill. The bill was then reed a second time, and the committee filed for Monday next. ACCOUNTS TURNPIKE TRUSTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill watt through eommittee, Yd was ordcnd to be reported. ST.

Mr. HAWES, in moving the committee on this bill, complained that it was pine ly a technical bill, intended to re in its doubts es to the validity of certain land titles in New Son h Wales. Mr. F. SCOTT called for a fuller explanation. They should be cautious lest in confirming titles in one part of New South Wiles they were invalidating them in other places. Mr. HAWES said that the grants had been made many yeses goo, and more recently the colonial wooed had sought to confirm them by proclamation. A local act was also passed for the purpose, but it was suhsequently found that application must be made ti the imperial legislature to con firm it. In answer to another question from Mr. Scorr, Sir 0. GREY said that the bill referred to certain grants of land which were made under proclamation by G 1 Darling. A local act was pissed confirming the grants, but it was found that local legislatures could not interfere with the lands of the crown, and consequently the bill had been seat home for eonfirma•ion by the imperial parliament. The house then went into committee on the b ill. Mr. F. SCOTT repeated his question. Sir G. GREY feared that he had been reimnderstood by the ton. and learned member, and repeated his explanation. The right hon. hart. added that if any co:onial land titles should be disturbed the parties aggrieved might apply for an act like the present. The bill then passed through committee.

All 4444 • LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 12. As a general rale we •prove of the maxim by which Col. THOMPSON, MEWS. EDWARD ELLICE, Mowarr, and some other liberal members of the House of Commons, appear to have been guided in their vote upon Mr. DRUMMOND'S motion. When it is proposed to go into committee of the whole house on resolu tions, which the forms of the house only allow to be entertained in that manner, and when the resolutions raise a comprehensive discussion calculated to promote an important reform, we would not curiously inquire who is the mover or what he proposes. Let us have the debate and make the most of it to ripen public opinion, and advance practical measures. On the present occasion, however, we cannot, after the most searching and dispandenate examination it hes been in our power to bestow upon the proceedings of Thursday evening, say that we question the judgment of the independent liberals who moved and supported the previous question on Mr. Datratmomp's motion. The benevolent and ingenious, but flighty mover, did his best to present the question in the most unprac tical form of which It was susceptible, and lead the hones into a wild-goose chime, by the miscellaneous and irrelevant topi w which he associated with it. The motives and objects on both sides—both among those who were prepared to support, and those who were prepared to oppose the motion—were so contradictory that any discussion in committee would, of neces sity, have been a mere aggregate of incoherent monologues. Much time would have be en consumed, and while any practical result was obviously impossib:e, there was little or no chance of Sr y important principle being illustrated or supported with due weight For once we are compelled reluctantly to admit that such a motion as Mr. DRUMMOND'S was fairly and advantageously met by moving the previous question. We concur with Mr. CosnEtr, in the opinion he expressed tt that the honourable member for Surrey had done some service by introducing the question. Mr. DRUMMOND gave utterarce in his opening speech to many bold and valuable truths; nor do we agree with these who saw, or fenced or alleged they saw, nom-thing of undue levity in his mode of treating the subject. The imputed levity of Mr. DRUMMOND was that bitter irony in which generees and sensitive minds often find the only adequate ex- I pression of deep and serious emotion. Such seeming levity tells more home at times on candid and reflect ing minds than solemn efforts at pathos. Not a few of the reflections thrown out by Mr. DRUMMOND will take hold on the public mind, and bear their fruits in due season. If there was improper levity displayed in any quarter in the course of the debate, it was by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in the trite per nfiage by which he intimated his utter hostility to the motion. And it is no slight triumph for the aivo c Ars of a Marching and systematic revision of our financial system, that Sir CHARLES WOOD, with all hie obvious desire to pooh-pooh and negative the pro posal, was obliged to acquiesce in the previous ques tion. In a house of 255 members, 102 support, d the principle of Mr. DRUMMOND'S motion, and 153 did not oppose it—the most able and earnest speakers of the majority avowing their approbation of the prin ciple. It does appear to us that this result renders it in cumbent open these members of the House of Com mons who aim at a thorough reform of our financial system not to allow the session to close without again raising the question in some less objectionable form. It is their duty, after the vote of Thursday night, to take the opinion of the house on a well digested and com prehensive proposal for reducing expenditure in all de partment. of executive government, for making coy respondinF reductions in the amount of taxation, and for initiating a system by which direct taxation shall u timately come to be substituted altogether, or to • very great extent, for indirect taxation. They may, they almost certainly will, be outvoted ; but they I have good reason to expect such support as will I show the country that, even with a legis la ture conceit tuted like the present, this inestimable reform is not unattainable. The discussion will &lighten public opinion, and their proposal will become a rallying point for financial reform associations throughout the country. It is most undesirable that the session should be allowed to close without pre paring such matter for discussion and agitation during the Neese. ANOTHER Irish bishopric is vacant, and if we had the gift of discerning among tory spirits, we should be enabled to delight some turbulent or intriguing dance that his hour Wile come, wherein he shoatd be rewarded according . to his works, and given for the residue of his days increased power of doing mischief. After the late nomination to the see of Down, I any thing is believable, for it is manifest that anything in that line is bearable by the meek and forgiving public. The kirk a may have their griefs, but they are pretty sure of their consolations. Tne wh'gs are not ready to give them the box-seat just now ; but there is no objection to their seizing on half tie inside teats. If there be conflict of claims between personal fitness and unfitness, there is all the better opportunity for evincing generosity towards the weak and the un worthy ; and thus, as we have seen, the worst tory going is the most likely man to get a good thing. But the field is wide, and in the asinine race there are numerous competitors. There are fanatics and tellablea beneath the surplice, there are drones and there ere bigots. Every noble family, moreover, has its "Hon . and Reverend" connexions to wine the community ; and the recent multi 7ic:tion of unearned honours in one lordly house shows that they who already have most are the likeliest to get more. Men of talent don't so much require preferment. They can live or starve, as the case may be, without it. As for ple beians, they never knew what opulence or honour was. Institutions like the established church in Ire land were designed as a means of providing for the inferior branches of the aristocracy—the dull, the is.' debted, the despicable ; and it is used accordingly. For our parts, we don't see why the government should not look out for another KNOz nitre has ge nerally been a couple of that ilk under the episcopal canopy, as well as a couple of BERESPORDS, and TOTTENHAM, and TRENCHES. One of • kind looks exceptional and accidental; but two of the same stock and of equal unfitness in the same rank and function, tells its own tale, and makes men of intellect, learning, eloquence, and worth, udder rand distinctly that the honours and emoluments of their calling are really not intended for them, espe cially if they be of ignoble birth or liberal opinions. For advancement without merit there is nothing like a tory name and connexions. Even whig peers are net always so sure of advancing their impotent or ill-conditioned kinsmen. Many importunate, were in Ireland when Down and Connor fell vacant, but to none came the mitre save to the tory deputy of the absentee prelate of Limerick,—the brother of the tory Earl of RAN triux, the protégé and connexion of the tory Earl of CLARE. Here was a combination of attractions that proved. irreistible. 111-natured people whis pered it was a fine stroke of administrative dip'o snag ; rather a scandalous, but oh ! hovi clever a bit of finesse i—votes in the upper house we e likely to be valuab'e; and the division list on the Naviga tion Bill would explain all. For ourselves we never imputed designs so simoniacal to the partite con cerned. Our theory of the Irish chutch did not require any such reficement in the arts of corruption. We never expeited any change either appa-ent or real in the political conduct of these who were to have offices, titles, and revenues, heaped upon them. And the result has therefore in no degree disappointed us. In the list of those who voted for the repeal of the Navigation Bill neither the same of Lord ItairettLY nor Lord CLARE appears. The latter, though sassily mat. al a Peelifr, did not vote at all, and the former voted spite the bill Clearly, then, the new Biahc'p of Down owes his elevation to no affectation or sem blance of liberality even on a questito I,k o that of free trade in shipping. Quite the reverse. We take it for granted teat he will - feel hime:lf as tree as the rest of his family and friends to do all the harm he can to the popular cause; and that as far as his shisewhat limited powers of intellect enable him, he will consistently do so. This is what the Irish church is for, if people would only see it. With its cu.tomary . air of wonder at anything savouring of scandal in orthodox high places, the Times records almost hysterically the fact that the late Bishop of LIMERICK lived abroad for the last seven years—received nearly 70,0001. for doing none of his duties as a bishop and died at last leaving his cathedral windows unglazed, I which appears to move the indignation and the sorrow of our orthodox contemporary . most of all. The moral to be drawn from all which is, soccrellig to the Times, that if the arist :cracy would keep this rich pension list from being retrenched or reformed, they must really take care that bishops in future do not live all the year abroad, and that glass instead of plonks be put in all cathedral windowe. About good men, learned men, gifted men, or liberally-minded sun being chosen to fill the gilded seats of t oclesias tical role,—not a syllable is said, not a hist is given. The official organ felt that that would not do. Any pies, however humble, for a decent appointment to the new vacancy, wend have rounded too like reproof or irony. It is too serious a subject to be trifled with. It is one of the great means of lordly livelihood, and must not b 3 under mined or jeopardied. Outward forms of decency re garding residence and cathedral windows are matters i of conservative discipline, founded on a wise sense of prudence, not of tiety ; of selfish policy, not generous principle. Principle! What in the world has prin ciple to do with an establishment maintained upon a style of princely splendour in a famine-Min-ken land? On what principle can a church of lords be I maintained amid a nation of I ewers? With what principle are the clergy of one-tenth of the whole population given one-tenth of the fruits of the in dustry of the entire? Our contemphary is truly a considerate critic, and known how to avoid sore points and delicate spots. We only venture to suggest for his eczlesiastical consideration, whetter a rule of rotation which would give Irish mitres in turn to all the nobility of Ireland would not be fairer to the more moderate enemies of the people, to say nothing of stray liberals. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. SCHLESWIG, Mar t The most important news I have to send you is that at last auxiliary troops have joined the Schierl. wig-Holstein army. The army has been in a critical prention since the 20th of April, in front of the Danish forces which doubled da number,.

Yesterday the 23rd annual meeting of the above society was held at the Hanovirequare Rsoms, and was numerously attended. His Grace the Duke of Beaufcrt presided. The report slated that the principles of the society had continued to progress during the past year, and that the dimemination of humane feeling' wiude the brute creation had diminished the necessity of bequeath appealing to the law for their protection. The bill for the more effectual prevention of cruelty to animals which had been introduced into parliament by the Duke of Beaufort would won pars into law, and a consi derable improvement would thereby be achiev ed. The com mittee recommended that the society should promote the preparation and presentation of petitions against the con tinuums of Smithfield market es • public /miasma. as strikingly prejudicial to the health of the community, sod the source of constant animal suffering. Tee constalges of the society were continually witnesses to eases where animals were treated with the utmost brutality, but which they could not bring before a magistrate because they could not connect " wantonness " with these acts the ann. nem of the area of the market, compared with the number of baste crowded into it (sometime' so many as 30,000) render ' Mg the employment of cruel and revolting measures neces sary to enable the drovers to make the animals pas inroad out of it. The attention of the society's constables had been also directed to the metropolitan and county distric's, and a considerable improvement was reported in the con duct of the driven of animals used on pleasure excursions at the various watering places, &o. The commit tee stated else that auxiliary somata had been established at Wells, and those already in existence at Plymouth, Glou cester, Norwich, Belf at, Bristol. Devor.port, Statehouse, dc.„ were extending their operations. and the number of their supporters. They also appealed to the humane to co operate with them in the attempt to put down steeple chas ing ; and referred to the occurrences at the late Liverpool steeple chase, when three horses were deprived of life in consequence of accidents, in illustration of the barbarity of the practice. They had else directed their attention to en deamiring to procure a mon humane mode of conveyance on railways for animals, sad ham:wired extensive assurances of co-operation from the railway functionaries.
