BREACH OF PRIVILEOK-THE "DAILY NEWS." Lard BROUGHMII—hIy lords, I ken already stated to your lordships that having haute' that a violent attack had ' been made, and a slanderous attack had been mad* upon ' the judicial procmodisgs of this house, that I probably should Lem it lay duty, when I lad real that attack, to proceed farther oa the subj, et. I should not have taken notice of it beton I lad read it, but for my entire confidence in the accuracy of my noble friends, who were three in number, who had ned at, and had given me a description of it. I have read it sines, and I fled that the description given falls tnnsiderably skeet of the truth; and that a more unjusti fiable and, I will add, indecent attack up* any court of jostler, 1 beg to preface what I have to urge by staring that it is one these to comment upon, even with .cvity, with violence, and with scurrility, the proceedings of this haw in its political, nitric:trill, or legislative capacity ; and it is Another thing in to comment upon its proceedings %hen it sits as a high court of justice. Matinee tends to bring the administration of ju - into contempt with the people is an evil to tho vie m oment of the emintry,and a serious evil to that administration of that justiee• —(hcear, hear)—sad surely it cannot b said that the evil Is diminished by the consideration that the court assrihd, and sought, and wilfully sought, as I shall show, to be brought into public contempt is your lordships' loose —the court of appeal from all the other triborals of the country. Having use his own patinae, industry, and ins partia ay, while presiding over the spy Bate burin, is in their lords-eip*s hoses, t u noble lord said,with reference to the arid elm in gentian, thou is this passage—. The number of came 'knocked off,' " " knocked off" being in inverted commas, as if somebody bad bragged of "knocking off eases." I heard of so stupid and vulva a nietaphor—(a laugh) —" but whether they have been graver and attentively heard, maturely considered, and setifscorily disposed of, is • goes ton which will not be agresta'ely answered on inquiry animist the able men who for six weeks past have been pleading at the bar of the Home of Lords;" and thee coma more stupid ribaldry about cases beirg "knocked off" It is perfectly char what is mast by this. The only ether portion of this trash I shall traria, your lordships with is this: "His be," that is the Lord Chancellor's—" warned the Lord Chancellor that the arianprinsut he had made "—which he never made for Lord Brougham transacting tee sppellats business of the Lards for the remainder of the mission, would not work well; and it has not." Here, then, igadistiact fact stated: that the bar remonstrated with my noble and keened !fiend against my sitting here in appeal eases; that they told him it would not work well, and that it has Lot. Whether it has worked well or not is not for ma to decide I will leave that to the profession and the public. But I assert that this is not only no: true, but that there Is not a shadow of truth in this statement. I say that no remonstrant' was made—that no objection was tendered—that no such objection was made by the be, to my sitting here. Idy noble and 1 d friend was asked to come and sit here In one case, but he thought that it was not a reasonable request. That, however, had moth rg to do with me. la short, this is from the be ginning to the end a gross departure from truth. No mart should stiffer such Isle. and hbellwas slanders upon its priceedings to pass unnoticed ; and kr this reason, that U they were suffered to pr, the court against which they were directed would be sappoud to admit that there was snare foundation for then. And if I had not laid my fineer on these a:Hiders and brought them to the test which I have brought them to, it would ti erc par teeth for a feet to the country that the arrangement under which I have tat to aid your lordships this session in the diop t ril of th e j a d ic i si usiness of this house, hat been met by a remonstrance :rem the bar against my so sitting, and *gains: my dealing us I have done with this punka of the business of the house, And though hail there teen lb• slizEtest ground for sue" atettiaait, rtinunfrarni from the bat would have pre vented me from &Interning what I felt to be my duty to your Inedsltile and to the ecratry ; still, I should be deeply graved I farad that now kr the ant time, after a very lore caw la the mimics, and after 20 years' judicial en. pedants, there was any foundatins far such remonstrance bet losing, on the pert of the bar, a want of modicum in my learning and in my hamar. (Cheerer ) - - The LORD CHANCELLOR regretted the attacks which hal been made arm his noble and 1 d friend, for every one amanated with the facts must admit the great sad good Kmiec performed by ban in regard to the judicial huskers of th e house. ( lter, hear.) When he (the Loul Chateellcr) remind the great atal • very great arrest cd eases existed, easing not oaly loth' long and severe Elam cf hie noble and leatneJ friend Lord Comedian ; het added to tai • great degree by the mainmast" Mons which happened at the lame Use to that extremely valuable pledge the Vice Chaneelim of Ragland, and the illness of Vtce Chatteellor W.gram. The Mom of those two leaned pm auLa4lll moult:mud largely to that weer, because causes proposed to be beard, and which bad been partly heard before these, ceeld not be heard before any other judge in Chummy but Lord Chancellor. Therefore, having to hem and decide sot 0r...y the muses which case before the Court of Chanter; in its ordinary prac:iee, and of which there was • coesulerable &near, but the casino which had been so partly heard by these two learned judges, of necessity the am ars eontie.utd and i sad, and, with his attention divide:—sometienes having to preside is their lordships' home, and Beset see in the Court of Chancery—no effort of his could keep them down, and he hoped he need not assure their lordships that he should here been mat wilWg to use every iff trt to serve the public by decreasing this arm:: —(aheon)—at to mem in any arrangement by which that object might have been offectM. (Hear, hear.) But though he sought no mantame, his noble and learned friend, In his seal for the public sane*, was good enough to undertake to hear and decide upon the appeals la that house, and so leave him (the Lied Chancellor) more at liberty to deal with the bunnen of the Court of Chatteery. With regard to the feeling of the bar, he had had but little eomnunication with them, but from what he knew he believed there was not the slightest foundation for saying that any remonstrance had eves bees med. by the bar Amnon that arrangement. (Um, hear) He believed that the attacks to which hm nen* and learned friend bed called their *retiree originated is some private and nuncios, motives. Us. doubt-illy, they were not directed to the advantage of the puttlie. It was quite true, as his noble aod learned itikfli had said, that the moat patient anemias end &littera. tion bad been given by his noble and learned friend to every ease, cad that he had been mainly instrumental in 'dittoing to • oonclusiom and giving judg ment on the part of their lordship, in several causes of vast iseportaree, and he now horned a ith no leis astoeishment than gratiheation that be had been able to pronounce the lodgments he Lad dome. (Heer, hear.) He regret' eel the attacks Miele had been aisle upon his noble sad I d friend, but he could hardly think that so far as his noble sad learned friend war individaally emeernad they were at all worthy of hie notice. (H ear , hear ) And with r. gard to the Boum of Lords in Its jeuEcied e.pasity, that stood far too high for it to be happened for a moment thst by Both means the mai tepee of the public In it could be is the b ast degree diminished. Hes noble end leaned . . . . . equally uaarrqusint-_ u he ins of wane with the particular merits of the causes in which the noble and learned Iced had beta called upon to preside, he, nererthe• lOW felt convinced that the judgments pronoun ced in that hours in apreal cues gain, in general, stationer= to the public, and until erns was pointed out they must he assumed to be menet. Hs hoped \lanolin and learned friend would not feel it necessary to pursue the question fur:her, satisfied, as he mum be, that there was but one opinion in the house and the country generally as to the gnat value of his exer tions ea behalf nt the public. (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. SMALL TENEMENTS RATING BILL. The Marqsis cf SALISBURY having sacred the third reading of this bill, The Earl of HARDWICK E mond that the bill be read a third time that day six month', contending that it would affird no relief to the occupiers of small tenements, Maio much u the owner would charge the amount of Tatra for which ander this bill they would become Raba on the trouts, while those landlords who wire disposed to deal liberally with their tenantry, would have to pop the rates fa oddities to the lore of rest. Lord PORTMAN supported the bill, which be said bad been recommended by the committee ea parostiri ars es menn, of which he was the chairman. The IC srl of HARDWICKE declining to divide, after. the house bad been cleared for • divisioa, the motion for a third reading was carried and the bill passed. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE DILL. This bill was read a third Var. fritbd bid presided in their lordships' hies. too long for attacks of tide nature to be of the .lightest importance to him perratally ; but that circumstance by no means lei;ened their indecency an l Impropriety—(hear, hiae)—.gag it they weft repeated, it might perhaps be incumbrat ea their lordships to take notice of them, Innate in that thee, it they were allowed to pus unnoticed, they might canals rudest* ; bat isolated attacks, such as that to which the noble and leaned lord had called attention. o ff in noceosely, sad were not wor th notice. attention, hear ) Ills noble sad learned friend had dnae good in the duty he had undertaken and at saccsasfully performed, sad It. thought he was entitled to the gratitude of the public and of th it lordships for basing placed the Bowie of Lards in the position that no arrears of causes would remain undecided at the close of the session. lie (the Lord Chanoellor) could unly soy further, that It. hoped sent sem . o* that he should he ahl• t discharge the duty as satisfactorily na his sable sod learned friend had dose. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, 1850. CRIMINAL LAW. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice of a motion on this subject kr Thursday next. PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL. Tne Marquis of LANSDOWNE, on the order of the day being reed for considering the amendments of the Com mons to the Lords' amendments on this bill, after detailing the various amendments which had been made in the bill by the Lords, and the umber and importance of those to which the Commons lard agreed, proceeded to call attention to the amendments from which the Commons dieented. The fiat of thole was in the qu ilia etion for T >ten. As the house sent up the bill, the qualificstion was an occupancy ',slued on the poor rates at 81 ; their lordships had altered that to 151. The Commons, in reconsidering this question, had adopted by a large majority the medium of 121, to which he must ask their lordships to assent. If their lord ships adopted this amendment of the Commons, it would lave only 10 in 100 of the adult male population in Ireland ratified to vote, while the pr.portion in Eoglend, Wales, and Scotland was 28 in 100, and in Scotland, when it was the lowest of any part of Grist B itain. it was 25 in 100. UtAler these circumstances, he could hardly suppose that their lordships would consider 10 la 100 too large an electoral body for Ireland. He had been accused of inconsistency in the course he had adopted with reipect to this bill, but be was indifferent to such accumione. He wos alnico's to get a bill which would pa , an end to political ferment in Ireland, and would obtain a franchise for every =gain that country who had an equitable right to its exercise. There was soother amendment which, on a former oedema, had undergone much discussion in that house, Is- mint the self-acting registration clause, for which their lordships had eubstituted the system of individual •; plication, ores as it was to all the oboes of the old system of potty straggle at the registration courts. There wire other amendments of little importance, in which some alterations had been made; but the two he had stated were the only ones which would require the serious consideration of their lordship.. Lord STANLEY mid that the amendments to which the House of Common had acceded were absolutely necessary to preserve the bill from b-ieg sheer nonsense, tor in its original form it provided that it should come Into operation on the let of June; where's it did not reach that house till July, so that the opera tion of a law was to be hied at a time when no each law existed. The words " tenant or owner "to which the noble mare cis had adverted were merely explanatory words, and, as to the joist occupancy amendment, its Mt crion was proposed by a member of her Majesty's g mesh B.st, in the two important points in the Moe points in which their lordships bad mad. material elterationt, the Commons had disagreed altogether to their lon 'ships' amendments—ha meant the amount of the franchise sad the compulsory ft gistratioh. Oa both these points their lordships haul bad long and patient disco,- sine and on both had by considerable majorities pronounced decided and fixed opinions. On that occasion, also, many of his treble him& hod expressed a hope, in which he cordially concurred, that their lordship+ were not adopting a 161. fran chise, merely for the purpose of making it a ground of eneeprumise with the llouse of Coen tires, but as the lowest amount of franchise which It w e safe to concede under the circumstances. Now, if he were to state his opinion, he should say that instead of that amount being too high, it was dangerously low for such a contoitiv any as that of Inland. (Hear, hear.) Their I adships should recoil ct that it was not the ease of a person paying 151 rater, but of an occupier —no matte. how insecure his tenure—who was rated at that amount. In the neighbourhood of towns the tenant of a house and two atm of ground, might be eligible for a • le. The noble marquis had dwelt on the no verity of *stabil/4110g a representative system in Ireland, bat he (Lord Stanley) wanted to know on what representation was to be bored. Was it to be men numbs, or nimbus combined with intelligence and pro perty ? He was afraid they were making a constituency for Ireland which would be the mere repro-irritation of numbers, or at all events one in which mere numbers would completely overbalance the - sjourtion based This prop.. . on roperty. was • question not of principle, but of degree. He admitted the principle of extending the ?remain as far as it could be done with safety, bat the question was when was the line to be withdrawn. If they adopted 151. In the first instance, and found that they could safely drop down to 121., the change would be not only possible ' but easy. If, on the other hand, their lordship s arloptedl2l. in the first instance, and anarchy and diem 'actuation should be the result, they could not, as had recently been done in a neighbouring country, con t.-set the franchise, but must leave it as it stood, however erroneous and uangerens might be the bine. Their lord ships had fully sed earrtully considered the question already, and had given to Inland • franehite iofinitely below that which was enj-iyed either by England or Scotland. If the House of Commons had freely and fairly taken the franchise fixed by their lordships, it might have been a question whe ther the other point should not have been conceded. With respect to both amendments, be thought that the 121. would be dangerous if earned, end that even if i s rejection should same the postoonem-nt of the bill until another session, it would be better to risk that postponement and any sgi- Cation it might cause than to take a step which they could not afterwards retrace. lie should therefore think it his duty to move that their lordships require the 'stamina of their amendment as regarded the franchise. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, who was scarcely audible, was understood to say that he held a very different opinion from the noble lord, as to the probable working of the bill. He believed that the 121. clause would secure a respectable and intelligent cinstituency. The house divided on the :question of retaining the 161. rancltise— Nen contents—Present Proxies Contents—Punta l'rozies Makvity The 121. franchise ;was therefore earried. On mar return to the gallery, we found The Earl of DESAST stating that he could not, eon• sistently with his feelings, and consistently with his duty, assent to this bill. He would, therefore, more that the house should disagree with the amendment of the Commons, which contained that principle. Lord STANLEY said that it it were probable or possible that their lordships should come to a different division from the one which had just taken place, he would recommend his noble friend to press his amendment to a division, as he bellowed the system 'o be a dangerous and mischievous one. The Marquis of LANSUOWNE said that the noble lord might take tn. course which he thought best, but it was not for him to afford him any facility in taking any course. If they diMNA on this question he would certainly call for prozin, as he thought it a fair and legitimate coarse, and one to which the noble lord had frequently resorted. Lord STANLEY—I never celled for proxies when I was in a ministry. The Marquis of LAN SDOWNE said that there never was a question ow which prrixiee might be more ligiiissately used, leg it hid been thre e mon th s b e f ore t h e public, was agitated in that sad the other house of parliament, and it had been perked, well known what the nature of the amendments of the Home of Commons was. Under such circumstances the 'moats* had been gives with a deliberate intention to sup• pert the prlngpl soatained In those amendments. If the noble lord, however, thought that by dividing he would gain env vote, he would advise him to try it. The But of DEBART said that he would take the advice of his noble friend (Lord Stanley). Ile, homey, r, protested against the principle of the bill, as he considered that it was uncalled for and itajarious. The amendment of lb. Earl of DROART was then negatived, and the aulandeneate of the Houma el Commons agreed to. Their lordship reee st is router to 9 °Week. HOUSE OF COMMONL—TuIaDAT, AVOUST 6.

CRIER AND OUTRAGR (IRELAND) CONTINU AMOR - _ _ The adjoareed dabeta ow mottta fee kaws to ben (is this bill was mused by Mr. MOORE, who said that Imp had supported this bill whew it as onamally ktrodseed, bemuse Ireland was thou amnia ammaiaa. aed sus ',Watt ••!"twasesto et is eat •hkh would restore tranquillity to the cOuntry. Bat, now that pesos universally prevailed, why forge fresh fatten to maaaele the lhube of uarseistime poverty ? He looked apes this to be owe a the most mischievous pleas of lodts lades that sou'd be devised. Colonel It AWDON supported the bill as a measure called for upon the reeposibility of the pvernatent, and which had been effectively sad temperately used. Mr. SCULLY denied that dm responsibility of the go vernment wee en argument in favour of this bill, which was nanmeseary. What the people of Ireland wanted was, not a swum of coercion, bat measures of relief. Mr. II'CULLAGH likewise insist, d that no cue had born made out for toe continuance of this set. He resisted the measure as a part of a 'chime for operating the people of Ireland. Governing that country by threats tended to barbarize it. Mr. BLACHALL denied that the bill would give addi tiosal power to leadlords; it was a measure of precaution, sad it had operated to prevent outrun, without interfering is the slightest degree with the rights and liberty of any one. Ho cordially supported the bill. Colossi CAULFIELD supported the bill. Mr R. Y FOX oestplained of the non-intr3duction of remedial measures. I.oicrEIIAMIILTON observed that the wrll•inesning people of Inland had not the slightest jealousy of three restrictions ; on Ike contrary, they rejoiced at Inch a check upon evil d'en. Mr. RO I .:HE oscsidered that inch an unconetitutional law ' wee not required; the ordinary law, properly applied, was saMoient to seppeeso Mr. STAFFORD supported the bill from a sense of its neesseity, and from a feel;ng of coed lance in the prosiest governsert of Inland, the want of which had led him to oppose a former coercion bill. Mr. P. KIWI'S opposed the measure upon the ground aosigned by Lord John Russell in 1846—name IT, that no cue had been made out for giving three extraordinary powers to the government, and protested against the prin• rip!. of governing by eztra•constitutiocal means merely because these means effected their object. Sit D. NOIiItRYS said se the roverantrst had asked for a continuance of the bill, he should vote for it on the ground' of confidence. Colonel CIIATTERTON briefly supported the bill. The house then divided— For the amendmeat Against it Oa our read:minim to the gallery, M. HUME was addressing the house in oppnaltion to the bill. He contended that if the people of England were treated lake those of Ireland they would resist by force such an attempt to deprive Ibsen of their rights. The govern moot had made out no ease for this bill ; there was no case to make out. He should eive every assistance to hon. members who thought fit to avail themselvea of all the forms of the house in opposing thie measure. Mr. REYNOLDS thanked the hon. member for Mon true for his promised assistance. He feared at that late reriod of the snake no effective erposition could be offered to the bill, from the paucity of the number of Irish mem bers. This bill was an Lull: to the Irish people, the Secretary for Ireland in intraducice the bill acknowledging that the country was in a perfect state of tranquillity. Hr./400HE, referring to the speech of Mr. Sildiffi, sail he had never heard more elite or effeminate reasoning from either man or woman. (Laughter ) Sir J. GRAHAM said, as the hour was approaching at which the house would probably adjourn, he weaned tr e..k whether at the adjourn. d sitting they would proceed with the orders of the day or with notices of nantion ? Lord J. RUSSELL thought it desirable that the house, after discussing this question for two days, should finish the debate before they adyourn.d. He was desirous that the or ders of the day should have precedence at the adjourned sit ting ; but, it hon. members who had notices on the paper insisted on their right, there was nothing to recut their bringing them cm. Colonel THOMPSON said he would not press hi, motion on the subject of the price of gold to-night. Mr. HUME asked the noble lord at the head of es• government when he would be prepared to go on with the discussion respecting the lonian Islands, because it wu testa tiai that some statercent should be made respecting the con duct of Sir Henry Ward ? (Haar ' hear ) Lord J. RUSSELL said that be would give an °ppm tunity of bringing the subject before the house on Fridey or Monday. Mr. HUME wiehed to know when be might have an op- Crtunity of submitting his motion as to the propriety of yiag the evidence which was taken before the Ceylon com mittee on the table of the house ? Lord .1. RtSSELL hoped tha hon. gentleman would reconsider his view on the subject. Tte evidence was very vcluminous, and it being doubtful whether it ehoild be reported to the house, the committee decided that it ought not. It appeared to him that the best CO{lffe to irks was to inform the Governer of Ceylon of the evidence which had heed taken, and in the next session of parliament he would be prepere 1 to support a motion for the production d the evidence. But he did not think it fair to circulate the evidence when the parties concerned were at a great dis tance, and before they could ascertain whether the chugea were true or false. Mr. 8. CRAWFORD wished to say a few words on the question really before the house. (Hear, hear ) He littered to express his villein!. for the speeds of the bon. amber for Montrose, because it showed that there were some English members who desired to maintain the rights and liberties of Iris".men. (Rear, hear.) It bad been said that the amendm , of war tantamount to a vote of wait of confidence. Well, without meaning offence to her Majesty's government, he for one would say that he had no confidence in their polity for Ireland. (Hear.) Sir J. WALMSLEY said that when the season on which the present bill was founded was introduced in :817, it was sustained by an array of figures and statistics which induced a large number of the members of the house, and esp-cially the Engl;sh members, to vote in fiv,iur of it. (Hear, bear.) A lamps number of Irish members alto were inilieed to vote for the bill far the same reason. (Hear, hear.) 11. believed that there were 30 u 35 Irish members voting in favour of the bill, and rely 4 against it. That showed that the Irish members were anzions and desirous that every mea sure necessary for preventing crime in Ireland should be in troduced end carried. (Hear, bear.) bat on the introdue tion of the bill in the present session the Chief Secretary for Ireland rade oat no au for the meuure before the hones. (Haar, hear.) Oa the contrary, it appeared to him he showed as plainly u words could show there was no absolute necessity for the bill. If it was in mirrored in, he, as far is he wag able, would oppose its further progress in that house. Col. THOMPSON said that he entirely concurred in what had been so well said by the hon. member fur Bolton. He war strongly impressed with the necessity of crewing an effective union between England end Ireland. Strangers were ordered to with.lraw, and in our 'Mine* from the gallery we understood that Mr. R. M. Fox moved the adjournment of the debate, on which the house divided. For the adjournment 24 Against B5-61 The house then divided on the question that leave be given to introduce the bill, whet there appeared— For the motion Against 24-00 RAILWAYS ABANI:!9NIERI4T BILL.—LORDS' AMENDMENTS. ----- --- Mr. LABOUCHERB said that he would move the consi deration of the Lords' amendments on Friday; and he wished to state also that although the Attoruey-Oeneral had intimated that the government would accede to the Lords' amendments, it should not he considered that the govern• !sent were pledged to take that course without further con• sideration.

HAMILTON proposed after the words "one or more medical officers in each district," the following words be inserted .' duly qualified by law." Sir W. SOMERVILLE objected to the amendment. After some conversation, the committee divided.— For the amendment Against it 36-21 Mr. O. A. HAMILTON envved another amendment, res tricting the power of the commissioners to discharge any olToer, except on complaint frcm the board of guardiars. The amendment was adopted by the government, and the clause thus amended was agreed to, as was the following clause. On clause 12, Mr. G. A. HAMILTON expressed a wish that the bill should be eonfinsd to dieuensariee. At least they ought to give the goes rnon of high• r Mediu 131111 an or i in wit, titer they would come under the operation of the act or not; and be should, at the proper time, ptopose an amendment to that effect. Mr. SCULLY supported the same view. S , r W. SOMERVILLE Bald he bad no objection to in traduce some proviso which would moot the case of institu tions having property, and which he would introduce on the report . . 11. believed also that the abuses of the iufirmaries was as great as there of the elipenuries. Mr. STAFFORD, looking at the megni.udir of the changes proposed, could cot but nub that the biii might be poet pont d till next session. . _ . . An Ilan. ?derma here moved that the house should be count' d. Tee gallery was cleared, and there were evidently at that time viry few more than 20 members present; but several government memben pouring in, it was found, w►en the numbers were Liken that there were more than 40 preemie. The committee immediately thrall d on Mr.Laturun'a amendment. For t►e amendment 8 Against 1: TLe eaure was then agreed to, with some amendments, me were clauses 13 to 16. Clauses up to 3 inclusive were agreed to with verbal amendments. On clans. 33, Mr. REY N OLDS moved the following amendments: After the word '• construct" to add the folkwing word., " And that the words ' mcdical officer' and practi thane shall he construed to extend to and to include any legally qualified physician, surgeon, or apothec.iry." Sir W. SOMENSILLE did not think that any such ad dition u wu now proposed was ever introduced into the in terpretation dense of such Mlle as that which they were now considering, and if he consented to insert the words he would Le taking upon Memel( to decide a question which had been lone a matter of dispute in the medical Fvfession. (Hear, hear.). The'commlttee then divided. For the amendment Against it The clause war then agreed to, and the bill ordeeed to be printed. The house resumed. LAN DLORD AND TENANT t I RELAN D, N t. 2 ) BI LL. The motion Per going into committee on this bill was ep reed be Mr. BRIWIT, who deprecated the measure, be cause it assigned enlarged powers to the Irish land lords. He moved that it be committed that day three ' menthe. The measure then before tee house was one for making more stringent the law of distress in its mode of operation, and e Itenfficst that law to a clue of property under circumstances in which it did not at present apply. (lieu, hear) The law of distress was altogether, in this! country as well as in Ireland, very questionable; and on that ground he was fortified in his belier that they would not be acting wisely to make that law more stringent than at present. It might be observed by bon. members that the Devon eons missi tn received a very considerable amount of evidence which went against the law of distress in Ireland, showing it to be a basalt and severe law, and that it was a law rot alone harsh and cruel to the tenant, but often not beneficial or satisfactory to the landlord. (Hear, hear.) That being the case, and knowing that the law of distress was based upon a very questionable principle, conferring on a particu lar class of property the right of recovery not ext. nded to other classes, he ( Mr. Bright) should declare himself op posed to the proposal, n now before the house—namely, to add new stringency to tt at power in the case of Ireland, particularly in the present condition of that country. (Hear ) This measure made that which hitherto was—if he might use the expression —only a civil wrong, in future a criminal offence. (Hear, hear.) The non payment of rent or taking away of property in this country, or in Ireland, bad sot been heretofore made a crime in the way that stealing was • crime, or felony : but by this bill they were going to change the nature of the offence, and were going to enact teat the non-payment of rent in Ireland was a misdemeanour, punishable with 12 months' imprisonment and herd labour. (Hear, hear.) This bill, introduced by the hon. member for the University of Dublin (Mr. Hamilton), showed to what desperate and cruel lengths gentlemen of othetwise mild tempers and dispositions could go, in attaching twelve menthe' imprisonment and hard labour to an act that here tofore the laws of England did not recognise as au offence. ( Hear, hear.) He put it to the law officers of the crown to say it this bill would not bring about the changes to which he had referred, and if it would not affect their notions as to law, and the principles on which law was based? (Hear.) At the commencement of the session, the government brought in a bill for the purpose of settling the loffirpending queeti'sn of the relative rights of landlord and tenant in Ire land ; and he might appeal even to the bon. member for the University of Dublin, whether, in the present condition of Ireland, it was not the duty of government to legislate between them ? (Hear, hear.) The government had brought in • bill of many clauses, five-sixths of which were under stood to be erotective of the Interests of the tenant, with three or four clauses strengthening the right of the landlord. The government found they meld not carry the bill this seaman. It had consequently been put off from time to time; and was, he believed, fixed for s.oond reading on Thursday next. It certainly was odd that the right hon. Secretary fur Ireland should have allowed the bill to lie on the table, whilst the Marquis of Westmeath in tee House of Lords was getting on with his clauses. (Hear, hear.) How, he wished to know, had these hills been passed by the House of Lords? Why about five noble lords sat—two on the ministerial side and three on the opposition—who would not divide—(hear)—and in that way the measures came down to the House of Commons, and hon. gentlemen were a xpeeted to legislate on them. (An hon. Me natter— " No.") The hon. gentleman said "no " ; it might not be 6o as regarded the present bill, but generally speeking it was so, and he could not help sayiog that such legislation would b- disgraceful to any country in the world. (Loud cries of " Hear, beer ") Ile asserted such legislation was wrong in principle, bemuse it gave more stringent powers to the Irish lendloide, which powers all the world admitted were already sufficiently *Worst, and had also been greatly abused. (Hear, hear.) It was oleo wrong with re ard to the temper that at present existed between the land lords end temente of Ireland ; it would only add fuel to the dame now raging, and would, fa fact, give to the people who were calling for " bread " nothing better than stones " for their appeasement. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Mr. Hamm:roar and Mr. Lomita suppeited the bill. Mr. M'CULLAO II pointed out the tyrannous and in jurious effect of the bill, which had a mangled from the eganufaetury of the upper home. It seemed to be prepared in anticipation of the return of famine and rebellion, and forestalled the worst results of both. Colonel BUNNE considered the bill 83 necessary that he blamed the government fir not taking it under their pro. teetion. _ _ iiii dissuasion was continued by Mr. C. Autry (who moved that the debate should be adjourned), Mr. Alcoa, and Mr. Henley. Mr W. 1 30111111 VILLI believed that spas doe conside ratios it would be feundl possible to render the bill stringent may against the Madam mama. He wished the meuare to be earned Into committee for that purpose. Mr. MOORE admitted that treads existed, and institied the applisation of a legislative remedy it accompanied by tee rummies of ministerial responsibility. The present =ca nna wu, on the contrary, a partial and one-sided eon trivanee dashed in the landlords' tease for their own special benefit. Mr. 8. CRAWFORD opposed the bill. It would enable landlords to collect their fraudulently-exorbitant rents, while ostonsib , y designed merely to restrain /entente from fraudulent evasions. The injustke It would sanction would be quite as great as any that it maid prevent. blr. P. SCROPIC complained that the committal of the bill was mond before they had dkeuseed its principle, for which the session now afforded no time. Tito title, be added, was now a misnomer. It was still called a Landlord and Tenant 13.11, but ill the tenants' clauses had been struck out. ARM 16114 otntteations trots Mr. k. M. Pox, the house divided on the question of adjournment, winch was nest lived b 46 votes against 22. Mr.REYNOLDS renewed the motion for adjournment. He wee determined to defeat the bill, even at the sacrifice of remaining few another month in attendance upon perils. Mr. M. 1. O'CONNELL having made Nan explana tions, Mr. C. ANSTEY, who also rose to explain, proceeded to speak upon the question of adjournment, and declared his intention to persist in the Fables policy of delay, until the bill was finally defeated. Mr. BROTHERTON appealed in favour of the adjourn• meet, suggsatiog the propriety of diacuuiog the bill upon its merits, Instead of talking beside the subject upon bye motions, whose only purpose Cu delay. L'rd C. HAMILTON denouaced the mirchievons use which the opponents of the bill were making of the paths mentary privilege of unlimited motions for adjourning the debate. Mr. BRIGHT reminded the noble lord that he had him. self voted eight times in one night for adjourning the com mittal of the Irish Franchise Bill. L'.r.l PALMERSTON gave a modified support of the bill, in so far as it tended to prevent fraudulent practices. He suggested that the house should go into committee pro forma, in order to take the next debate upon a proper stage for discussing the provisions the measure. Mr. NAPIER. dissected the legal clauses, and contended that the measure would arm the Irish landlords with no greater powers than were already in force in England and :otland. A di saltory debate continued upon the question of adjournment, which was ulimately conc:ded, and this day fixed for renewing the debate. The house then went into committee, when the " Canter bury Settlement Lsnds Bill," and the " Turnpike Acts Cqn tinuence (No. 2) Boll," severally went through committee, Gad were ordered to be read a third time this day. Tee house then resumed. COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL. The Lords' amendments were considered, some bting agreed to, and others not agreed to; a committee was according!, appointed to draw up the reasons.

It is rumoured that the Romanist& hope to ►ecomc the purchasers, for the purpose of building a college or cathedral upon the site where the ruins now stand. Ttte history both of the loin and ebb, y of tidastonhuey is full of curious and root interesting es•.tciation,, which take us back to a period eaeval with Chriatii. ity. It it recorded that here the first Christian standard was planted in this county, •ia , that Joseph of Arimsthea, when he fled from the persecutions of the Jewish priests, having pared up the Bris tol Channel, landed here, then an island called Avalciais, and immediately fined upon this sequestered spot ler the puipsse of erecting a small chapel, which be built of wood. and there expounded his new doctrines to the inhabitant.. Orem numbers mien as,cmbling from the neighbouring parts cAused the temporary erection of Jeseph's to be super seded by a more stostantisl structure. which became the foundation of Olastonhuty Ahhey. The Abbey reached the height of its presperi•y in the reign of Henry Via, who, however, in a moment of indignation against the abbot (%Vhiting)— hut, per:tads, more in order to enrich his favourites, into who,+ bands the abbey poserasions subse quently fell—despoiled the church of all its wealth and re sourees, since which period it has gradually sank into decay. and now elf ,rds a stratiag and impressive picture of faded greatness.
