IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.MONDIA, Ras. 27. TM LORD OILLIFOILLOS Wok hie NM os the mama ak Ave dab*. OYSTER FISHERY BILLS. Oa the order tert►e second reading of the Roach River Fisheries, Rochester Oyster F' • Whitstable Oyster Fished's', end Sam Orr Irish/ivy The Marquis of 04RIOARDR asked whether it was the intentiou of her Majesty's government to introduce say fishery bill this NW= regulating the uses's sad customs i:il2...ter fisheries, sad whether the private bills now bdatis est had beim recommended and approved of by the rftr7Dr of Trade, or any other government authority ! His kedehip was understood to say that he did not oppose, the on their media, but that certain fishermen complaitied that rights of theirs would he baklava, and they Prayed therefore that they might be referral to a committee of the whole house, they (the fialisemen) not bevies the pecuniary means to defend their rights before a select c.crunifttec. Earl GRANVILLE maid that the government did not intend to introduce any postal lisbery bill this arson. They had gives their consent to the present bills contingent on.their passing through parliament. I. After a few words from Lord REDLIDALE, the bills were severally read a second time. SEWAGE MANURE. The Earl d ESSEX, in correction of a misprint of his °Nervations on • previous mania; stated that what he had intended to express was his 000viction that mime manure, if applied to agricultural purposes, should be applied in very large quaotities, and that he had not recom mended the applicatioo of small quantities of sewage to large anas. On the contrary, he bad recommended large quantities for such areas, but that it was difficult to say what should be the exact quantity seed. PATENT LAWS. Oa the order for ilt a ; - 171c% itd — rindrag of certain private bills for the renewal of patents, Lord REDEBDALB rose to call attention to the object of the bills. He believed that their operation would be more &valuable to dishonest than to honest inventors, as the former would make purims atonements to avoid payment, whilst the other would exert themselves to pay. He left ' the matter in their lordships hands, and unless so assisted should not move the second reading of the. bill. Lord CHELMSFORD said that the house wan much in debted to his noble friend for having rolled attention to these bills. Pron.:me to the patent law of 1852 an inventor could not pateat his invention except at a heavy expense, but by that sot the payment was reduced to 401. at the end of two years, and 80/. at the end of seven, which were surely not onerous oonditions if the invention was of any value. The act, however, °zeroing provided that if at the end of seven years the fees were not paid, the investion should become the property of the publie. The effect of these bills, there fore, would be to deprive the public of their rights. Under these circumstances he thought that the bills should not be proceeded with. After an observation from Earl GILANTILL4 Lord B.EDESDALE withdrew the bills. PETITIONS ON PRIVATE BILLS. Lord REDESDALE moved that no petitioners against any private bill in either of the classes mentioned in staing order 178, and originating in that houseould be heard before the commuttee on the bill, ,sh unless their petition should have been presented to that house by having been deposited in the Private Bill-office on or before the seventh Monday after the amend reading of inch bill ; end with respect to Wm brought from the House of Commons and bills originating in the House of Lords, and referred to the judges or approved by the Court of Chancery, no peti- Bonen should be heard before the committee on any inch bill, union their petition be deposited in the Private Bill office on or before the fifth day on which the house should sit after the day on which such bill should have been read • Ern time, except where the petitioners complained of any matter which might have arisen after the expiration of the time allowed for depositing such petitions; and every snob petition should be deposited in the Private Bill-office before three o'clock in the afternoon. Agreed to. TRANSPORTATION TO A lISTIi!.ALIk. Lord TAUNTON, in piimenth;gpsiltions from Melbourne and other places in the colony of Victoria praying for the immediate and permanent abolition of transportation of convicts to Acstralia, said that these petitions, which were thirty is 0111.122N0r, OWN from every part of the colony of Victoria, and ex pressed the most unanimous feeling of the community that the system of sending out our convicts to Western Australia ought to cease. Toths unanimity which prevailed in Melbourne upon the subject there was not a stogie exception. Before sitting down he would ask his noble friend the President of the Council whether he rightly understood that it was the intention of the government to i put an end to the system of transportation, so far u Australia was concerned, as speedily as possible, and not exceeding two years; and also whether any new arrange =lota world be mad e for the disposal of the convicts at hams, and if so, whether any legislation would be necessary this session of parliament. The noble lord was frequently inaudible in the gallery. Fail GRANVILLE, in answer to the question, said he was perfectly ready to admit that he entirely ag reed with his noble friend in what he had stated to be the f= of the colonist. in Australia, but he.thought it be idle, now that the question hat been finally and matiatutorily settled, to take up any of those minor qaertions which bad creakd acme discussion between the colonists and the government. His noble friend bad ex pressed regret at the recommendation of the commierionen who sat two years ago upon the subject of penal servitude. The commissioners came to their conclusions, not from any selfish views towards the mother country, but, as they thought, from a desire to benefit Western Aastralia—• colony at that time anxious to receive convicts. But since that period facts bad awns to light, in reference to the dis covery of a large track of fertile land, which appeared to make it desirable that no more onevicts should be seat to Western Australia ; and the evidence of the different governors showed bow sound and genuine was the feeling against the system generally. The govern ment had received from the colonists statements which deprecated what they considered to be a course likely to increase crime in their colonies, inasmuch as late discoveries would make the communications between the colonies more easy, and her Majesty's government had not therefore the slightest hesitation in putting an end to the system altogether. As regarded the question of his noble friend, he might say that the words of the despatch were given without the slightest double meaning ; and that in three years from the time specified, all the arrangements necessary would have to be made in regard ti additional prison room in this country. But before anything could be done parliament must be consulted in one shape or another, and perhaps a measure would be proposed daring the pre sent aurae. (Hear.) Lord ORANWORTH said, that in the absence of his noble friend who had presided over the committee that bad been referred to, be wished to explain the reasons which had induced the committee to come to the unanimous re commendation that not only ought transportation to be continued, but be extended as far as possible. There was in fact DO conflict of evidence upon the subject, all the witnesses agreeing in the opinion that it was essential for the interest of the colony that the system of transportation should be continued and extended. They had no doubt heard a sort of rumour about the other Australian colonies beau adverse to it , but coosidering that the distance from Western Australia to Sydney was greater than from Cork to the American coast they did not attach any great weight to the objection that the convicts were likely to proceed to Sydney on the expiration of their sentences. He thought there would be no second opinion as to this, that for the convict himself, the best punishment which he could undergo was that which soabled him to be absorbed into a society in which he might be able to redeem his character. (Hear.) Evidence had been laid before them which went to show that in Western Australia convict labour was better than free labour ; but perhaps, in their anxiety to keep the convicts, the witnesses rather exaggerated that point. The commiasioners, thmefore, came to the condo- Moo that it would be beneficial to this country, beneficial to the colony, and beneficial to the curiae themselves that transportation should be continued. He did not, however, mean to dispute that in the altered state of circumstances the recommendation of the commission ought not to be car ried out. (Hear, hear.) Lord REDESDALE thought it would be au advantageous compromise for both countries if ticket-of-leave men .are sent out to the colony. It would be better they were there than allowed to roam at large in this country. The subject then dropped. Their lordships adjourned at 20 minutes past 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY, Fn. 27.

STRACEY morel the ;snood reading of this bill. Mr. WARNER moved that it be read a second time that day six mouths.

The Marquis of HARTINGTON maid it was quite true ' that or the first of the present month the numbers of the army were 4,000 below the somber in the estimates of last year ; still he must remind the hoe. and gallant mem ber that the establialiment was exactly that whirls it was proposed to maintain daring the present year according to the estimates on the table. BOOKS IN PRISON LIBRARIES , . Mr. HARDCASTLE inquired of the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what prim regulation George Victor Townley, sent from Bedlam to Pentonyille as se ordinary primmer under meioses of penal Benito& for life, was there allowed Rooms to books of entertaining lite rature such as "Silvio Pellico" sad "Gil Bias." Sir G. GREY said that the vele was that prisoners were oily allowed to have the use of those books which were comprised in the prieon libeary and approved by the direr- tars otaoovint prisons ; but on No appoiotment of a uew governor • few months ago he tonsil that a practice had gown up of departing frotu thee rids, mid that in certain came priemsen were allowed to MOWN books iroai their friends. Immediet•ly the saw poems disoowirod die prank* was imattury is the rules he pat a stop to it. money in Ireland, the expenditure must be very large sod continuous ; and perhaps the remelt after all the) hid dons in that foolish coated with the labour market in America would be, that we should have to give it up, and that the peo ple would go ; and in the meantime we should have retarded the only means of relieving the distress of the counhey, namely, by sending awe,' the surplus population to • instead where they would be able to live and be happy, of staying at home and starving. There was only one other topic on which he would add • few words. There could be no doubt that the miseries of the present stets of Ireland would be oossidenbly mitigated if she had any manufactures—those great works which in England afforded so convenient • refuge in times of vrimltural dieters. But to have these manufactures Ireland must have capital. That evidently she had not. But la England there was • superabundstme of capital, and it wenteverywbsee. " When we," said the hon. mustier " Well in Audrelia, we were perfectly deluged with English capital. (Laughter.) Is was quite a nuisance." (Laughter.) The flood of English capital led to a most dreadful commercial minis; it set up half a dozen banks competing with each other, utterly ro =lsof the commercial wants of the country, and these were managed by a number of disre putable persons who were sent out to carry on this oompetitiou. Now Ireland was divided from Eag. lend by only • narrow channel ; yet capital wholly refused to go there. As hon. gentlemen were aware, capitol was not to be cajoled or coerced ; she was • coy and discreet nymph, throwing herself without =serve into the arms of the decent and laborious artisan, but shunning the embrace of the fiery and intemperate agitator. Ireland is this case must minister to herself. It was the fault of Ire land if England did not feel secure in leaving her capital in that country. Ireland must do what she could to remove that want of confidence, and when that was done, one great mesas of alleviatiag her troubles would reach her. (Cheers.) This was the question above all others for this empire. Our foreign policy had of late years, for some cause or the other, somewhat receded into the back ground. As to our domestic poliey, there was hardly a grievance upon which it was poedble to raise • discussion of say public intereet. Bat in Ireland the case was entirely different. She was bound to us by an indissoluble tie. She was not like one of oar oohed's, which we = voided as nations being trained up by us to take their own course in the world. For good or for evil, for better for wi s i ri m , Ireland wee bound to us by • tie which we should rather than allow any one to break. That being so, ow unspeak ably important was it, that she should be placed in a paw tion something like that occupied by Scotland. She was the single drop of bitterns= in one otherwise overflowing cop of prosperity. It became the house, since they could not cheek the miserable exodus that was taking place, by avoiding all irritating topics, and by express- ing what they all felt, the eincereat wishes for the prow polity and welfare of Ireland, to try and heal the wounds =teed by centuries of misrule. (Cheers.) Mr. O'REILLY had no wish to attribute to England any desire during the period that had transpired since the Emancipation Act to do otherwise than to place Ireland on a footing of equality with England. Such a position the Irish nation would =wept, but not an inferior one ; and they did not consider that they were placed in that equal position when they found in their midst a church of Infini tesimal minority in point of numbers supported by parlia ment against the wishes of the whole community. The LORD ADVOCATE maid with regard to the emigra tion of the people, he must speak plainly, sad may be did not think it was a thing to be regretted, from whatever pad of the country it took place. A great deal of emigration bad taken place from the Wotan Highlands, and he did not regret it. No doubt it was hard to break up old ties and aseocidions, but in their =War position they must often feel the pressure of population on subsidence ; and when that was the case they ought not to regret the mention of social and moves= laws. The names of the old native families of the Highlands were to be found in Canada and Australia. Emigratioo was a thing that would niate itself ; It was beyond legislation, and would cease when it was better for • ease to stay at home than to go. He hoped that by an Morgan of enterprise and energy on the part of the people of Ireland this result would saes take place. He could not support the resolution bemire he did not think it would be right to affirm in an abstract manner that emigration was to be regretted, and because he believed that the evils of Inland ley too deep to be cured by the remedies suggested. (Hear, hear.) Mr. IV/AARON believed it would be a source of great sorrow and dissatisfastios to the people of Ireland that all the right hon. gentlemen who spoke on the ministerial side of the house seemed not to regret the drain of the Irish people, which they assumed to be the result of economic laws. His opinion was the emigration of the Irish people arose directly from the violation of the well-known laws of political economy. The people of Ireland pawned a fine soil—the source of all wealth—and if they had only liberty to till it for their own bene fi t, they would not come to that house with the whine of mendicants, as the hon. and learned member for Sheffield mid was the case. How could Ireland prosper while 4,000,0001. were taken away in absentee routs, and 8000,0001., in taxes, of which 1,000,0001. only was received beck ? Mr. DUNLOP said for himself, he thought thail ad. meow of public money, such as were proposed, Waded to encourage the disease they were intended to curs. What was wanted was that the Irish people should be taught to rely upon themselves, which he thought they were perfectly able to do. Grants from the state only encouraged them to walk upon crutches, and were destructive of all self-depen. deuce. If they could only be weaned from a reliance on the central government, be had no doubt that Ireland would become as prosperous as Scotland, which had formerly relied on state aid instead of her own exertions. The honourable member concluded by gemming • hope that the govern ment, instead of yieliing to the demands of the Deb priesthood or those who represented them, would endeavour to gain the support of the Irish people. Mr. LEFROY concurred in the opinion that great distress is Ireland was produced by climate, and they should rejoice if those who could not support themselves and their families in comfort at home went abroad, where they could not only do so, but Dave gooey to seed to their relations whom they bad left behind. As to the second part of the resolution, which was to the effect that the house would ruddy support any well-devised measure to stimulate the profitable employment of the people—be thought that expression, "'Annulate," was moat unfortunate, as nothing stimulating in that way could be wholeeome or good for the country. On other grounds he would not support the proposition. He was not one of those who thought the happiness of the country could be promoted by grants or advances of money. Ile bad sees the operation of granted money at the period of the famine. Money was improvidently and lavishly wasted ; and although be was grateful to those who gave it, be confessed he should not desire to see the system of advances repeated. Another subject which bad been touched upon in the course of the debate was the railways, and he thought it would be most beneficial to Ireland if government were to exercise some control over their management. If such arrange ments mold be made as to Woos the farmers to send their cattle by rail instead of driving them along the road it would be of great advantage. Mr. P. URQUHART did not deny that there was severe and distress is Ireland, but he was sure that pub -117::::s, objectionable on various grounds, would in the long run make matter@ worse. Sir H. BRUCE could not support the resolution. He deeply deplored the want of employment in Ireland, but could not deplore an emigration which benefited the unem ployed. Sir G. GREY would ask whether parliament would sanction the government giving • fixed rate of wages, and at • higher rate than now paid in Ire land. because unless they did that the people would not remain in the country, and if the government did do so they would miss the rate of wages In all other parte of the country—(bear, bead—and he (Sir G. Gray) was not at all prepared to say that any scheme of that kind would cure the evils which now prevailed, though they might mitigate them for • season. He felt quite sure that the house would be willing to entertain any well-devised scheme for the purpose of relieving local distress, but in doing so they must take precautions against aggravating the evil which they might desire to ours. He thought that upon this subject the house bad not fairly dealt with the govets meet. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had laid dews principles perfectly sound in themselves, and which every government ought to keep in view in making grants of mosey, and be did not say that those principles pre cluded them doing so, but simply that they should be kept in view, and be said in regard to the Shannon, for instance, Prove your facia, that the banks have been injured by the goverment in fulfilling an obligation which they had en tered into, and if they proved those fads the government would admit the principle, and would not deny their claim, and there would be no indisposition on the part of the house or the government to give the temporary relief which was asked, and the (overawed also would lend money to the landlords upon terms which would enable them to make useful improvement.. The noble lord the member for Stamford might have spared himself those taunts which be bad launched against the government, for the system which he had advocated had been exploded 80 years ago. If they were to apply it to Ireland they might apply it to all their colonies, and he felt that no government would long exist that pandered to public expectation, or that any House of Commons would allow • government to expend money without seeing that it was for a public benefit. For any permanent improvement in Ireland the Irish people t ought to look to dustman= and to their own resources, and ' not look to the government and parliament to relieve them from a state of circumstances w hic h had arisen ' not from any action of parliament or from the neglect of the govern. meat, but from circumstances OTOT which the gamesman and parliament had no control whatever. He admired the tone of the hon. and learned member for Sheffield ; bat he had • peculiar mode of addressing the • house, and his speeches were always worth listening to, and in his speech in this debate there was wholesome advice in recommending the Irish members and people to unite and to apply all their energies in the de velopment of the resources et their wonky, instead of di viding themselves into parties. Tian after having striven to assist themselves, if they came to parliament and to the government for assistance to enable them to do that which they had been exerting themselves to do and could not socomi, they would find no indisporition on the pert of the government or of parliament to grant that which they desired. (Hear, hear._)_ Sir S. NORTH OO was altogether opposed to any measure that would have the effete of introducing discriminating impend taxation in Indeed. No =se friend of Ireland weild, he thought, 'decade the adoption of such • coarse. With rasped to the expenditure of public mew, it mead be mines RECHISTRATION OF TITLES IN IRELAND. Mr. SCULLY irked the fiseretary of State fer the Home Departmeat whether, in the abeam of say Irish law of it wee intended, on the part of her Majesty's government. that a bill to register the titles to leads la Inland should be iatroduosd during the present semion. either by the Attersey-Geuend in that house, or by the LAM Chat:tailor to the House of Lords. Sir G. GREY replied that it was the intention of the Lord Chem:allot to introduce, at au early period, a bill for the regististioe of titles in Ireland. SUBSIDY TO COMPANY OF AFRICAN MERCHANTS. Mr. WHITE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the inteetion of her Majesty's government to propose the grant of a subsidy to the Company of African Merchaate (Limited), to *liable them to put tradlag steamers on the river Niger. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that situ the recommendation had been made to Earl Rumen, the government. in considering the subject, found it int. veloped in very great difkoultim, sad they thouet it right to give all partite' full opportunity of Wng heard, and also to give parliament the power of atiosidering the matter. They had therefore produced, at the mid of last se ma all the papers is their poeseolloo, and same that time he war Dot aware any proposal had been revived. So far as the Treasury was concerned, the subject was not cow before them, neither had they any intention to proceed in the matter unless ground' were abowu to satisfy them that they ought to do so. SEA FISHERIES. WHAHON asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he expected the report of the special coin rainsiop on sea &berms to be presented On time to enable him to carry, in this session, a bill founded on their recom mendations. Mr. K. GIBSON said the commissioners would conclude their inquiry before Easter, and the report weuld probably be on the table in Kay or Jape, but be did not think any legiaLation could take place this session on the subject. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, ism. and improper to bear national expenditure in one particular path of the United Kingdom merely to create employment there unless inch expenditure was for reprodoetive purposes. They might now fairly owed', the peeks of lord and whether the edvantiages of aids to bed taxation which wen enjoyed in Eaglaad miglit not be needed to Ireland in a pester depth than beasidoth; and next, it was worth while inquiring whether blither edema should ad be made or facilities given for works of • reprodnetthe character. He would, therefore, meggest that the amiailthe which sat last smith should be reappointed, and the terms of their reforms enlarged so as to embrace those three heads of inquiry. He believed that if that Gems were adopted, as the result of the pee. seal discuadoo, the bon. gentleman the member for King's County would feel that the object he had in view in beteg ing forward his motion was more than attained. The of an abstract resolution would be as nothing compared wit the appointment of • committee charged with the duty of inquiruig, .with the sanction of the government, into the mode in which drums might be made. To press the motion to a division would only lead to confusion, and would mislead the public, es men who took different views of the same matter would necessarily fiad themselves in the same lobby. (Hear, bear.) Mr. CAIRD observed that the test as to whether the emigration in Ireland was too great was the rate of wages, and emigration had sot affected wages there ; they were still any low. He believed, therefore, it was no evil. Mr. PEACOCKE contended that a heavy debt was owing by this wonky to Ireland, and the question was whether tee motion provided a means of discharging the obligation. After • few observations by Mr. Strife, Lord PALMERSTON said everyone must agree that the subject was one of the greatest possible interest. The foundation of the motion was that great distress prevailed in Inland. It did so ; bat, though there had been three years of unfavourable seasons, the last wee of a differed character. In the condition of Ireland there was much to be dephred, and the decline of the population was, in the abstract, an evil. But some years ago - the complaint was of a redundant population in Ireland. Legislation oonki sot counteract • law of nature, and keep labouring people in the country when higher wages were given in another. Thee how could an inducement to remain be created ? Nothing could do it but the influx of capital. What is it, then (continued the noble lord), that has hitherto prevented the influx of capital into Ire land? It is the double notion—first, that Ireland has not the same available means for the employment of capital ss England and Scotland; secondly, that Ireland does not give the same security for its employment. The concluding exhortation of the boo, and learned member for Sheffield is one that ought to sink deeply into the minds of every frith man. The religious and political feuds of Ireland have led to an exaggerated notion in this country of the insecurity of employing capital in that country. If the people of Rog laud and Scotland were well persuaded not only that they would find cheap labour and the means of working machinery, but the same security for capital which existed in this country, there was no reason why capital, which sought the must distant regions of the earth for profitable investment would not go to Ireland. (Hear, bee.) Them cannot be a greater mistake, in my opinion, than the idea that commercial capital cannot profitably and securely be employed in Ireland. When that idea is removed one great source of the poverty of Inlaid will be also removed. With regard to the prevention of emigration from Ireland, 'agricul ture isnot capable of any verve& improvement, because one source of the poverty of Ireland arises from the minute sub division of land ; and what improvement can you expect to be made in leidiop of four or five acres, which are culti vated by the labour °t i the family. No great improvement can be expected in the agriculture of Ireland except by the displacement of part of the population, so that agricultural improvement would in point of fact only lead to increased emigration. Yet no doubt there may be considerable addi tional employment in many parts of the country by the employment of additional capital. And if by means of private enterprise, if by means of advances, to be repaid in • certain number of yen, landlords were enabled to make improvements, whoh by their existing mans they were unable to moniplish. such application of capital might have • very beneficial effect on the condition of Ireland. At the same time I would humbly submit to landowners that the power of borrowing la a very tempting one. that the time for repayment will coma and that they will do well to consider carefully what prospect there is of • remunerative return, if government or private companies were disposed to lend. (Hear. bear.) With Meth to the first part of the resolution, it is impossible to adopt the naked assertion that we lament the decline of population. That is • complicated question. We lament that the population find it more to their advantage to emipate than to remain at home, but if the result of their leaving home is that they are in • better position, that is • result which I think we cannot lament. With regard to the second pert of the resolutioo, I think the belie( of the house is against any free grant of public money. (Hear.) With regard to Advances of money to be repaid, there are companies established for the purpose of encouraging agri cultural improvements, and I apprehend that if good secu rity is offered to them, and if it is shown that there is a fair prospect of aremunerative.employment of capital, from those private companies mach assistance may be &Mined. (Hear.) It beaten suggested that the committee of last year might be re-appointed for the purpose of considering how far ad vanes, from the public fond might be extended in Ireland for the purpose of local improvement. I can give no de cided opinion on that proposition till I see the particular actorsth and seer order of referen till I understand them ex- and see their bearing. ce 'Meth, hear.) But that is a proposition which is fairly entitled to consideration. (Hear, hear.) I can only my that her Majesty's govern ment fully share in that feeling of dap sym pathy which has bean expressed by all who have spoken in this debate for the people of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) It is iepoieble to know anything of the Irish people with. out 'ebbing them every happiness. If any hoc. gentlemen mom for the reappointment of the committee of last year, with a more extensive range of inquiry, her Majesty's government will be ready to consider the proposition, but their amputate of it willL of course, depend upon the wording of the reference. I can only say that the government will have an earnest desire to find in any pro- position of the kind some method of remedying the evils of Ireland, or rather of misting Ireland to extricate handl from the position is which it is unhappily too true she is now. (Hear.) Lord J. MANNERS said be heard the concluding words of the noble lard with the greatest possible pleasure. He nadentood the noble lord to went to the proposition thrown out in an earlier part of the evening hy the hon. gentleman the member for Stamford, and with that understanding he hoped his hop. friend would not divide the house. (Hear.) Mr. HENNESSY said that if he understood the noble lord to accept the pooplalion of the right hon. gentleman he should not divide. Lord PALMERSTON said that be assented to the proposition only so far as be considered the wording of the order of reference to be worthy of acceptance. Mr. HENNESSY said in that case he should divide the house. The house divided : Far Mr. Bethany's motion 3l Apisst lO7-76 The hones then went into committee pro formt, and immediately resumed.

In the firstplthe he made the bill p e rmissive, the effect of which would be that the beechen would form • sort of grand jury to decide whether • p a rticular case should go before the judicial committee and the second di ff erence was to meet the objection to the last clause, that • person charged with any offence would be enabled in the first instance to go before the judges, which was considered an encroachment upon th e power of e Inns of Court.

THE GREAT BITROLLRIEB IN THE CITY.—The apprehennion of the burglars connected with the peat robbery of jewellery and watches from the shop of Yr. Walker, in Cornhill. appears to have terrified some of the poesisson of the stolen property, cc the following facts will testify :—On Saturday afternoon, as two Thames police constables were rowing under Blackfriars-bridge, their attention was drawn to something glittering on one of the piers of the new bridge of the Chatham and borer Railway, which proved to be two valuable gold watches, with 11r. Walker's name on them. It was quite evident they must have been thrown by some person from the tempo= wooden bridge alongside,with the intention of going into the river. The officers immediately commtrai anted the areemetance to Mr. Darkin, of the metropolitan police, who moon amertained that the watches formed part of those stolen. Suspecting that there might be some more of the stolen property in the river, he obtained the ambit ' snob of a diver, who yesterday went down and succeeded In fading two more gold watches ; and to-day the divers have again to down awl recovered two other gold watelise, each Wag worth 40 to 50 guineas, and these have bees all thudded by Kr.

DOUGLAS inquired whether the right hon. gentle man the Hams Seeretary had remind any oommumc•tion from the magistrates of the Middleton-Cheney petty eee dolts, with respect to the imprisonment for two months of two seen who were unable to pay the fines for being drunk and riotous in • public thoroughfare. Sir O. GREY said it was quite clear the magistrates were under the impression that the hon. member had im puted to them a violation of the law. No doubt the letter of the law sanctioned the (nurse which the magistrates adopted. There was • power under whet was called Jervis's Act, where a penalty was imposed, to commit, in default of payment, for any term not exceeding three months. The magistrates said that in the two cases brought before them, they believed the prisoners bad the means of paying the fines, and that in fact within four days one did pay the penalty and was discharged. It sou within the discretion of the magistrates to impute • penalty, but he admitted the spirit of the act would be contravened if a penalty were imposed with the mere view of subject ing parties to Imprisonment. It was clear that was not the cue in this instance. DUCHIES OF SLESWIG AND HOLEITEINr Sir H. VERNEY wished to ask whether the following from • despatch, dated the 2 7th January, which =peered in some of the English papers, and had been commented upon by the foreign papers, was authentic "If Austria should allow Prue= to dispose of the duchies as she pleases, serious complications would be brought on in Europe, the responsibility for which would naturallyfell ea Austria ; and fur th er, that the destiny of the duchies can oily be legally settled by the confederation, and that power which should usurp for itself the disposition of them, with out their cement, would commit a most arbitrary act." Mr. LAYARD said be was obliged to the hoc. baronet for giving him an opportunity of answering the question. He would state that the despatch was a pure invention. No such despatch had been written, or any despatch similar or at all approaching to IL NAVY ESTIMATES. Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to ask the noble lord the Seerstery to the Admiralty, before they proceeded to discuss the details of the navy estimates, for soma explanation on certain potato connected with the navy, and desired to know whether it would be more convenient for him to do so on the question of the Speaker leaving the chair or after the noble lord had made his official statement. He wished also to ask whether the noble lord oould not make some arrange meets whereby the house should know with certainty when the navy estimates would come on Lord C2AOET bad no imitation in saying that the most conveoient parse would be to allow him to make his state ment lint. With regard to the snood Twine, be would ask the house to allow him to make his statement that night at any time before 10 o'clock. CONDITION OF IRELAND. Co the motion for going into supply, the debate on the state of Ireland was resumed by Mr. ROEBUCK, who began by expressing his surprise at the statements he had heard from Irish members sad at their mendicant tom, observing that the propositions in the resolution implied a complaint against the government of England, with • all for " some thing to be done for Ireland"—a phrase of which he bad • horror. I know (said the boo. member), England wax a cruel stepmother up to 1829, bat from that time to the present I defy any me to show ine anything done in this house which can he found fault with—l except the Coercion Bill, which wee about the last cruelty committed m this house ; but from that time the great object of this house Me been to do justice to Ireland—to make her people happy—to give them the power of governing themeelvee— to make them equal to Englishmen and Sootchtmo. (Hear. hear.) Is only depends upon the leaders of her people to set the example ; and if the hon. and learned gentle men will set the example, and tell their friends that the time ix past for protestant domination —that Irishmen must be equal before the law, —that the law is paternal, kind, and good to all alike, end that all party domination must cease now and for ever—if they tell them this, they will do • great deal to soften those animosities which are so disesteem in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) I would say to the catholic. and initiate of Ireland "Accept your position ; you are not • province of England, but one third part of • great empire. (Hear, hear.) You are our equals, and we want you to be governed as we are ourselves —we went you to be as happy as eareelves—we want you to be one with us in happiness, in greatness, in virtue, and in honour." (Cheers.) Until Irishmen break down ell their little petty animosities they may be assured they will be condemned to what they are now. It is not a hundred thousand pounds, nor a million of money lent by the government, that will drag them out of their diMoultiea. They must do it themselves. It is not enough to tell me that the metre of Ireland is lower than the shores : that is not the cause of the misery of Ireland. It is not enough to tell me that we have coal and they have little or none. That is not the 01010 of the misery of Ire land. The misery of Ireland comes from her own children. It is their own weakness, their own prejudices, their own narrow views, their own hostility to each other, that has created and will continue to crests the misery of Ireland. I my cam for all that until that is done away with there will be no hope for Ireland. (Cheers.) Lord DUNKELLIN &seared the hon. and learned mem ber who bad just sat down that he was not going to add one note to that wretched whine for money of which he bed spoken, but when the subject of Ireland was before the house he claimed, as • representative from that part of the kingdom, the right to address it. He knew it was said that Irishmen were always grumbling. But why ? It was because their wants were never attended to. He contended that the imposition of the income-tax on Ireland was unfair. Sir Robert Peel, when he proposed the income-tax in 1842, said be had been naturally led to consider whether Ireland should be exempt, and if he found the mesas of raising in Ireland an amount equivalent to what the income-tax would yield, he should not be unwilling to exempt Ireland from the income-tax. That equivalent was found in en additional shilling per gallon no the duty on "pinta, sod by raising the stamp duties. Theduty on spirits was then 22.8 d., and it was raised to le. 8.1. It was Dow more than double that, and the additional stamp duty also continued to be levied. He did not come there with the whine of • beggar, but he did think that a great deal of good might be done by afford ing facilities for improving the arterial drainage of the west. era counties, and for widening the harbour of Galway. The encouragement of such works would at least indicate • desire on the part of the goveranient to meet the wants of the people. (Hear, hear.) Sir H. CAIRNS concurred in the expression of regret cootaieed in the motion that circumstances should have ex isted which had led to • decline in the population of Belied; but if, taking 'raised as she now was, he were asked to re gret that there were not 3 or 4 millions more inhabitants in the country. he could not do so. Turning then to the obser vations of Mr. Roebuck the bon. and learned gentleman disavowed the leadership of the motestants of Ireland exclusively. He represented • town which comprised both protestant+. and Roman catholic', and One as much as the other. Hs repudiated the idea that the north of Ireland ever came to the house with a mendicant whine for the grant of a single shilling of public money ; and denied that public men is that part of the country ever advocated any thing else than • free, just, and impartial administration of the law, or failed to exhort all classes to live together es friends and co-workers ia the great work of regenerating the country. Mr. LOWE did not consider the taxation of Ireland to be one of the great grievances of the country, but there wee • sort of voluntary taxation which b 4 looked upon with the utmost dislike, and which must be to the Irish nation peculiarly irritating and annoying—it was the tax which the great mass of the peo ple, out of their want and destitution, were obliged to pay for the maintenance of those to whom they looked for in struction in the rites of their church. (Hear, hear.) Ha could not conceive anything more irritating for • nation this to find themselves celled upon to miatribute to the maintenance of their clergy, while, perhaps, within their sight raided in a comf ortab le house • clergyman who, how ever pare his life and excellent his teaching, was not the minister of their faith. (Cheers.) It he was right that the distress of Ireland was mainly due to it. change from an agricultural to a pastoral country, it wee obvious that only tame and the constant flow of emigration could relieve the oonatry.

Mr. Herbert Seeker was counsel for the proseantioa. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and Berea Pigott directed them to enter into their owe twoopiesseee to keep the pesos for two years. - - THE SORIERT AT mimeos CAE= William Wilson, aged 38, described in the calendar as an upholsterer, was indicted for etealaog four (pinta, the pro perty of h er% Majesty the Queen, hie mistress. at New Windsor, on the 2nd of Apiary last. There was a esooad indictment charging him with haring stoles, oe the let of January, two quilt', 100 yards of quilling, mad 100 Its. weight, of silk. The primmer pleaded guilty to both indictments. George Hammond surromiered to his bail to answer to the charge of having, with the primmer Wilson, stoles the above -paused property. Mr. Powell, Q. 0., and Mr. Harrington, conducted the case for the prosecution ; Mr. R. Sawyer appeared for the primmer. The prisoner Hammond, it transpirekhad been nine years in the service of her Majesty at Windsor Oestle, and during that time bad bores as mealiest character, whilst Wilson. who had pleaded guilty, bad only been then alas months, and was under notice to quit his situation at the time of the robbery. The principal evideace spinet Hasansond was that of the prisoner Wilaos.who, it appeared, directed the panel of goods to be sent to Nam. °minium, auctioneers, Onfordetreet, London, and wrote to them authorising them to dispose of it at the earliest sale in their rooms. Mr. Sawyer made an able defame for Hammed, sad einted out the unreliable character of the evidence of Wilson. The jury retained • verdict of Not Guilty, and an attempt was made to applaud, bat it was instantly reprewed by the *Mows of the mart. The learned Judge deferred pawing bootee** upon Wilsoo, the upholsterer. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Jaws Edwards. a gutoel-looking lad, surrendered to take his trial for wilful and corrupt palmy Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Poland, Mr. Dooley, aul * Mr. Nicholson, conducted the prosecution. Mr. Metcalf., sad Mr. Collins appeared for the defendant. This cue stood over from the last sedans, but although it occupied a considerable time the facts lay in a very nar row compass. The progenitor was the Rev. W. Hooper, who resides at Oaklands Roue, Kinpdown, Kent ; and the offence imputed to the defendant wee that he had sworn falsely that he had personally served the oopy of a writ upon the prosecutor. The facto appeared to be these : The prosecutor Ind put his name to a Mll of exchange for the accommodation of one of his relations, and as it was not paid when it arrived at maturity a will was issued against the prosecutor, and also against the drawer of the bill. The defendant, who was an attorney's clerk, was entrosted with thi service of the writ, sod he wont down to the ooes residence for that purpose on the 10th of October, end he subsequently made an affidavit that he had served the writ personally upon the prosecutor, and the consequence wee that ',menace wee Stud by she amid, and the prosecutor was compelled to give security for the payment of the debt and oasts. Proceedings were subsequently taken before Mr. Baron Bramwell to set snide this judgment, and when the matter este before the learned judge, and the prosecutor made an affidavit that the writ was not served upon him personally, the defendant still persisted in declaring that be had served the writ personelly • upon the peceentor, and pointed him out as the perms upon whom be bad so served it. The pressed peceseutioa was then instituted, and the prosecutor swore positively that the writ wee not served upon him personally at the time spoken to by the defend ant, but that it was given to him on the same night in a sealed envelope, and he accounted for the whole day in a most satisfactory manner, showing that it was physically impossible for the defend ant to have served the writ ppesesr- sonally upon him at the time be represented. It treupird in the course of the inquiry that this was the first time the defendant bad been employed on such an mud as the service of a writ, and that he wen utterly inexperienced in the matter. Mr. Metcalfe, at the close of the prosecution ' took a technical objection, canoodles that there had been no legal proof that • judgment had been obtained against the prosecutor, and that this wee a material averment, and that the defendant wan consequently entitled to an " The point was argued at some length and Mr eventually asked that the inquiry might be adjourned, to afford an opportunity to supply the necessary evidence. The Recorder, Moog made some inquiries, said he was at all times unwilling to allow a ease to go off upon • tub- Mod point, and he would readily have adjourned this trial for a shot time if he thought it likely that the meosseary (widows could be obtained. As he did not think that this could be done, it wee his duty to direct the jury to acquit the defendant, on the ground that the prosecution hid failed to establish a material averment contained in their indictment. The jury consequently returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The Recorder then remarked that the inquiry was a very important one, and the conduct imputed to the defendant might be productive of very serious consequences. It was quite clear that the defendant bad not spokes the truth when he represented that he bad served the writ personally upon the prosecutor, and as he wss just ing a we fessional career, he hoped the premed • g would be a warning to him, and that be be very careful is future. In the early part of the day an iodination was made by Captain °debars* to postpone the trial of the charge d libel preferred against him by Mr. James Philos" Davis to the next mem. The ground of the application was that he had changed his solicitor, and that he had set had =MUM time to procure the attendance of the necessary witnesses to establish his plea of jortificaMon. Mr. Ciffard, Q.C., who was retained for the prosecutioa, opposed the application, and urged that an af fi davit ought, at all events, to be male stating what oddest!' it wes in tended to bring forward before the trial wee postponed. The matter stood over, and shortly before the rids( el the court the application was renewed, and en affidavit was put in. The Recorder, after reading the contents, said he thought the grounds set forth in it were sufficiaat to justify the postponement of the trial. Mr. Giffard, the conned for the prosecution, suggested that if that course were taken the defendant should Ds called upon to plead. Mr. Woetnor, jun., the defendant's attorney, said there could be no objection to that, and it was arranged that the trial should be postponed and the defendaat's plea taken this session. Samuel Coster, William Hurler, Jane Tyler, and Mary Isle detith, ware tried up= en indictment charging them with a robbery with violence. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted ; and Mr. Many Palmer defended the primers. The prosecutor, an aged man, upwards of 80 years, named Mark Reynolds. well employed by Messrs. /lichen sad Co., the coal merchasta, at case of their wharves, and it was the custom to take the mussy taken at that wharf during the day to the principal establishes.% and the pro seceder was employed to take it.

One of the lads saw him part of the way, sad it appeared bad no gooses left him than the old man w set upon by two men, one of whom pat a cloth, spread oth, with treacle, over his facie, put his knee in his back, and threw him down, and the two then proceeded to un burden him of the bag of sash which be was worrying, and whirl was tolerably heavy, 31. of the money being in copper. The mw got away at the time, but it appeared that the prisoner had some time back worked at the wharf, and the prosecutor as be got up saw him runniag away. The cord which was Mashed to the beg got round Caster's leg, and while be was diessgagiag it time mounter caught his Ode fade sad reeessised him.
