THE ABOLITION OF OF IRELEAN TH LORD LIEUTENANCY 1 D. Sir G.

The noble lord (Ashley) had need to the hones that he himself had experienced &Steal h' bat he had not anticipated is the carryieg out of his ins object, Sind that he was obliged, after repeated attempts, ke abonelas the intention which ha had originally enter tained, ot ph:posing what would Se practically a declaratory set, with :he vise of realising the object of the law of 1844, and he found himself isompaled t 3 propose to parliament sew restrictions not founded in the previous bill. Under taws amintanoes it was his (Sir G. Grey's) duty, and that Of the hood sow to gonsider what amendment ght to be Made with ref. Mee to the impeached Interests that would he offend by this law. He (Sir G.

He hit it then h s duty to lay before the house the plan which, Ode tall cossideratioe, he thought divides% with the spirit It. ugh sot with the letter, of the act rf 1547, and whin, he thought, would more effsctually every out the object which the noble lord had in view than the bill which be himself proposed. and would be mach more ac oeptabla to the peat batty; when he said acceptable, he should add that he was amend by persons is whom he placed defi•lence that if it wen passed into a law it would be neepfoble to the great body of 'he operatives. (Hear.)

He proposed to offer new restrictions and taous up n the hoer* of labour. He would prance* that six o'clock in the moraine and six o'clock in the evening should be the hop s within which labour could be !aerially w ormed. That would apply to five days in the week ; and he propow d that they should on Saturday apply an extra lied. tation from six o'clock until two o'clock In the afternoon. The plan would be better understood what he told them that at present that clamor persons may he employed 10 boors is the day for tire nye, and fight hours on Saturday, making fit:peach' home is the weak. Anther alteration which he proposed in the law was, that them pence' would be liable to be employed between six o'clock a.m., sad six ..'clock p.m. for 108 hours for five days is the week, only one hour and a hall tang allowed them for their meals, Ac., making the time of labour 521 hours instead of 50.

They would have the 'tentage of the half hour before six o'clock every morning, and they would have the whole ..using uninterruptedly from six o'clock in the wenn for five tile, and from two o'clock in the &Ser ums ea Saturday. Mr. HUME said that he could not but deprecate any such interlaresce between ninters end their workmen. He gave the noble lord credit for meaning well, but he would say that the interference would be productive of injury to the elan which he was anxious to serve. Mr. EDWARDS differed with the principle which had been laid don by the right hos. harvest. He thought that It wee a departure from the spirit of the act of 1817. AGRICULTURAL S TATISTICS. In 'sewer to Lord N_:" fllr W. SOMERVILLE add that he could not hold out any hope that the agricultural returns relating to Ireland null be laid en the table before a very late period of the year.

Hie hos. and learned friend would have an opportunity el eousifering the amended clause on bringing up the report. (Rear.) The clause was then agreed to, subject to future amend ments. Clauses from 16 to 28 were agreed to. Mr. OSBORNE observed that within the last few wei In the Lord Chancellor of Ireland had given a most extraordi nary judgment as to the proceeding. of the court in Ireland. There was a case in which a stable-helper was receiving 10a. a-week from an attorney ~f the name of Callaghan, who made hlm swear to the accounts, the man sot being able to write. This case was brought before the Muter of the Rolls, who wrote to the Lord Chancellor, aad recommeaded that the attorney should be track off the rolls of the court. To the surprise of the profession, the Lori Chancellor" merely heard thecae* gave him a lecture, and dismissed him. Mr. HATCHELLI-The Lord Chancellor who, fur some years past had had the management of the court had endea voured to put an end to this. abuses, arising unfortu nately from the atate of property in Ireland. The appointment of receiver,, their security, and the mod* of controlling them, was all grounded on the practice and precedents of the Court of Chancery in England. They were under the aanas control, and were bound to account in the man manner. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that according to the information that had been received from committees on this subject all the evils were confined to the receiver,' judg menu. The only mode in which they could gat rid of the evil was to abolish the power of receivers in all cues of judgments. Mr. OSBORNE, in explanation, said that it was supposed that because he had praised the Master of the Rolls he had made an attack on the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. But even if he had made that attack the hon. gentleman who had jut spoken offered so defence ; no exptanation of the case to which he had alluded, of a solicitor having ap pointed his own stable servant at the rate of tea shillings a week to act as a receiver, that solicitor in palliation stated that he knew twenty-three solicitors who did the same thing. Mr. K EOO II thought that there was no ground for pass ing ninon on the Lad Chancellor. At the same time that he (Mr. Keogh) rated this he was aa willing as any man to admit that the greatest abuses existed in Ireland under the Chancery Courts. Col. DUNNE expressed his opinion that instead of reform ing the Conn of Chancery this bill would have the contrary effect. 106-80 The ntott a t il is t sonesquently lost. On antes 2 being proposed, Kr. FITZPATRICK moved Its =Won. The bowls divided— For Its omission 52 Against it Kr. ANSTEY moved an amendment on the 6th clause, which would have the effect of substituting 61. for 81., with a view to lower the qualification. The bill as it at present stood would increase the county oonstitnencdes, but eta siderably diminish those of cities and towns After • few words trim Col. Dustin and Kr. Lawl.nee, in favour of the amendment, Sir W. SOMERVILLE opposad it, but declined to go into the question, having already shown on a tingler amend matt, bp the Lird Mayor of Dubdn, that the calculations of the kon.meishor, es to the effect of the 81. qualification, were entirely erroneous. Mr. BRIGHT observed that every Irish member in favour of extending the franchise, was decidedly of opinion that an 81 franchise was too high . (Hear, hear.) But, WI It was NOW encumbered with a reties for the poor, if the hon. gentleman's amendment was adopted, it would render considerable alteration in other parts of the bill. " M a r I iTAFFORD thought that whatever the future arrangement respecting the grouping of the boroughs was to be, the noble lord had said that the rate of franchise was fixed and determinate by this bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL dissented from this *pinks. He had never hoard the noble lord say any such thing. But after what had pima in committee on the bill, he thought it would be unwise to unsettle the amount of tranchise fixed upon. Mr. AOLIONBY war favourable to the extension of the franchise, but looking upon the amendment as impracticable at present, he should follow the advice of a great Irish poll. titian, and get as much as he could. He should, therefore, eopport the government. BERNARD caused some merriment by the way in which he read an extract from • speech lately delivered by an lion. numbs r at Crosby hall. Lord CASTLEREAGH said he was in favour of a full and fair representation under monarchical institutions, but he was altogether opposed toe social and democratic revolution, which be was sorry to find had been advocated by the hon. member for Oldham at Crosby Hall. The noble lord then ceo r tet a passage from Mr. Fox's speech on the occasion re to, in which he said that he considered en extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, the payment of members of par liament, and the redistribution of.tbe electoral districts, as mere machinery, and not the ends which any rational man *mid think it worth his while to spend his time in looking for —that,in fact, they should keep in view tha ultimate object of a social revolution. Mr. FOX said that he had explained in the speech quoted that the revolution he advocated was not one of bloodshed, plunder, destrocion of our venerated institutions, • redis tribution of property, or any such absurdities, but such a change as would substitute legitimate influence for corrup tion and intimidation in the representation of that house. (Chests.) The mouths which followed those tjuoted by the noble lord had been brought into public notice by various publications, and must have equally fallen under observe tion, but the noble lord overlooked then. Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he had heard the rpecch of the bon. gentleman at Crosby-hall, and could say that it was received with great pleasure by a select body of men, and net by revolutionists. He should support the amendment. Mr. M. O'CONNELL also supported it, and twitted the sable lord (Castlereagh) for claiming exclusive loyalty, and measuring it by the difference betweea an Si. sad a 51. TY bran then divided, when there appeared— ,'" the amendment 43 Mr. Vet it .?. FOX rase to ask the penniseitit tf the boon to read the corselusfon of the sentence of his speech, the first of which bad been read by the noble lord opposite. In the re- I marks which be had made joss now he did not consult the printed report of the speech, and he had supposed that any quotation would have been made with that completeness which was essential to show his meaning. He said the " sc. compliehment of these objects I should not hesitate to call a social revo.utioa ;" so far the noble lord read, but he did not read what followed, "a resolution which:would leave iatact the principles of the constitution, the maintenance of order —(cheep)—and the greatest possible amount of liberty, but a revolution which shall raise into power the intellectual and moral aristocracy of the country, with ability to govern, and integrity to western well." Lord CASTLEREAGH assured the hon. member that he had no isolation to misquote hire. lie explained to the house what the purport of the remeind r of the sentence was, and that he considered the expression, "soda revolu tioa," was not nifficif nily qualified by what followed. • CHATTERTON moved the insertion of a clause, " that the class of voters usually called ' non resident free. men' be permitted to vote st the election of members of par liament for cities and boroughs, if duly registered and resi dent within the county." After some conversation the clause was withdrawn. Mr. GROGAN moved the substitution of " 31st August" for " 31st May" in clause 10, relating to registration, the object being to extend the qualification under the exist ins law. laid Bahonoo supported and Mr. SCELLY opposed the amendment. The house divided— For the amendment 92 Against it Mr GROGAN then movtd another amendment to insert words in clause 47, with a view to prevent the revision courts being held eimultaneously in Dublin and in other parte of Ireland. The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the amendment. Mr. GROGAN withdrew it. He also withdrew amend ments, of which he bad given notice, in clauses 63, 04, and 65, so as to make the electoral year commence from the Ist day of January instead of the let say of Dee. Col. DUNNE said, feeling the strong objections that many hon. members had to clause 2, he should, on bringing up the report, move for its omission. The amendments having been all gone througo, the bill, as amended, was ordered to be reported on Friday. PIONEER , METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION_ FO COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL . ILL.

Ida Mumma. 7. IL. f•-reaaaw—Mossise. Attenme. LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 4. Tim intervention of Parliament in the reform and re-construction o Savings Banks was something more urgent and importan than people are generally aware. There exists a deficit in the Savings Bank fur.d, even at the present high price of Consols, of upwards of two millions sterling. In stating this fact—a fact well known to the CHANCELLOR o the EXCHEQUER and others interested in finance lit us guard the public against unnecessary apprehension. The fact is as we haw state it : the savings bank fund in the hands of tie government exhibits a large deficiency ; but the country is quite able to make up that deficiency, and we do not eloubt that it would be willing to do 83 were it ten times what it is. The deficiency is not a deficiency which need alarm the savings b ink depositor: he is safe nor are there ally circumstances calculated at present to jeopardise his interests. The difficulty which exists is not as be tween the state and the savings bank depositor, but as between the state and the tax-paying community, who may at any time be called upon to make up the entire sum of money. The first question that will probably be asked is— how has the deficiency in the savings bank fund arisen ? The Cum.:mum( of the EXCHEQUER told the House of Commons, on Monday, that for many years past the country had been paying too high a rate of interest upon savings banks deposits, and that they had been also considerable losers by being obliged without reference to the price of stock, to pay back to the depositor the full amount of which he may have made deposit. The remedy which the CHASCELLOR proposes is a reduction of the rate of interest per cent., and a limitation of the maximum amount permitted to be deposited to 1001. instead of 1501., as at present. We say nothing of these proposals at this time ;we reserve criticism on them until we see the bill. . . . . . . — But is it true that the loss which has 'then to the nation in respect of savings banks has arisen from the causes stated by the Chancellor? We do not believe a word of it. We should like Messrs. OVEUEND, GURNEY and Co., or any other large money-dealing house, just to answer this ques tion—whether, by legitimate u-e of their money, they could not manage on the average of 20 years, to pay 31 percent. upan any amount that might be entrusted to them? And if private individuals can make, as we know they do, large proti's upon mon. y placed in their hands at certain rates of interest, why should these who have the management of the Savings Bank Fund incur such extraordinary losses? Again, we find that during the 11 years, from 1617 to 1828, when 4,1. per cent. was paid upon savings banks deposits, the loss to the I country was proportionately less than during the 13 years from 1828 to 1813, when the nation was paying 31 per cent. Since 1814 the interest has been re duced to 31 per cent., and, instead of any loss, there has been an annual gain upon savings banks in Eng land and Scotland. How do these facts tally wan the assertion that the national loss on savings banks has arisen from paying to, high a rate of interest ? The secret of tnis deficiency is to be found, not in the rate of interest, which is low enough, but in the gross mismansgement of the Savings Banks Fund under diff.ln nt Chancellors of the Exchequer. This tact is capable of the clearest demonstration. Let us premise that under the Savings Banks acts all deposits in those banks have to be paid into the hands of the "Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt." At the head of that commission is the Chan cellor of the Exchequer for the time being. Other high officials are assm ia.ed with him, ar.d so are the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of Eng land ; but the real paver is reposed in the Chancellor and the Comptroller-General. They are the really respon sible par:ics for the dealings of the commissioners with the Savings Banks Fund. Now, it appears, that in 1828 a power was taker. by the commtuioners to deal pretty much as they pleased with the Savings Bank Fund; thst is to say, I to invest it as they thought bee, " is order to prevent a loss to the puhlie." By a subsequent act, passed in 1833 (3 Wm. IV., c. 11), this power was very much extended. Now, from 1829 down to 1844, the purchases and sales ~f stock and exchequer bills under the powers thus acquired were of a very extensive character. A parliamentary return shows us that there were 2,120 such transactions in Coi,s3la and 1,300 ad ditional dealings in Exchequer Bills. A pretty mete the commissioners made of it, as a short detail will show. In the year 1829 the commi.sioners held securi ties, on account of the savings banks, of the value in round numbers of 13,500,9001. C insole, in 1829, were at an average of 86. In 1843 they averaged 96. 114 t add only . 5 per cent. tor ther increased value and the commissioners ought to have held on this old account nearly 16,200,000/. at the close of 1843. Now between 1829 and 1813 there was paid to the commissioners in cash close noon 14,000,0004 on ac count of the savings hanks. It has been accurately estimated that at the mean prices of Consols for each of the fourteen years this sum of 14,000,0001, ought to have purchased at least 15,000,0001. worth of stock. N at the current price of the day this 15,000,0001, would have been worth at the close of 18 , 13 just 14,500,0004 Add this to 16,200,00111, on the old account, and the total is 30,700,0001., which 'wits the amount of stock the commissioners ought to have had in hand. But by a return presented in 1844, it appeared that all the commi‘sior.ers possessed was 28,800,000/., or 1,900,0001 less than they ought to have held ! There are no means of accounting for the absence of this money except by supposin,r the stock transac tions of the commissioners is have been eminently unsuccessful. Eminently so, indeed ; for these calcu lations proceed at the mean price of stock for such year. An ordinary dealer would have considered himself unfortunate if he could not have done better than that ; though the National Debt Commissioners did nearly two millions worsa! To show more plainly the charac'er of this transac tion, let us recapitulate the facts in the form of a table, omitting fractions: Value of securities held by the commissioners in 1029 L15,427.000 Add 5 per cent. tot increased value in 1813 760,000 £16,187,000 Value of 16,000,0001 Consols, which ought to hive been purchased between 1830 end 1843. 14.491,000 L 30,678,000 Value of the securities held by the commis• Nov. 20,1813 '28,858,000 Deficit We see very clearly, by this statement, how to account for the loss which has accrued to the public in respect of savings batiks. A question arises, what could have been the motive of the commissioners for vesting and transferring stocks and Exchequer bills under unfavourable circumstances ? Now mirk this : the accounts before parliament very clearly show that tlwse sahs and transpositions were r•mtinnalk nude whelly irrespective ty• any demands by thrusters its meows banks. Take one instance. In the eighteen months between February, 1833, and July, 1834, the commissioners sold out 2,330,0001. stock at low prices, wi ilst they invested 6,250,0001. in Exchequer Bills, yie Idiot( a considerably lower rate of interest ! It might be thought that the first sum w.es required by depositors, and that the second accrued from large and sudden payments to the commissioners. Nothing of the sort. During the two years ending Nov., 1834 (comprising the entire period over which these teens actions extended), extended), the paymersts to savings banks from the national debt office amounted to only 4087,000•., and the investments by savings banks, in the hands of the sammimiosers, to 3,219,00 W. In neither in ' Manes do tbeli sums cover one half the amount sold out of stook, and invested in Exchequer Bills. The solution of these otherwise incomprehensible transactions is only, we believe, to be fund in the ex;gencies of the Cbasoellor of the Exchequer for the ties being. Prom 1833 to 1844 it was a con tinual pract!os to tamper with the savings bank fund as the emergency of the moment rendered desirable, either by the reduction of the amount of the unfunded debt or some temporary relief of the stock market. The system was nefarious. To a great extent it has been stopped since 1814, when its existence was first pub licly made known ; but now we have Sir CIIARLEA WOOD prepared to visit upon poor depositors in say -In4s banks all the losses which have been incurred by so gross an abuse of the powers of an act of parlia ment ! _ . It is confidently asserted by those who are best able to make calculations in this matter, that had all dealings in savings bank funds been strictly confined to operations connected with those institutions, no loss, but a considerable profit, would have accrued to the public. This opinion is borne out by the results which are shown to have occurred since 1844. As was established by a correspondent in our paper of last Monday, the British savings *lie have ren dered an increasing profit to the government of never less than 30,0001. in every succeeding year. The profit in 1848, if there had been no sale of the stock forming savings banks capital to meet the deficiencies in the savings banks in Ireland, would have reached nearly 40,0001. The space to which these observations have ex tended renders it impossible to enter, so fully as we contemplated, upon a consideration of what ought to be the principle of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S bill. We shall, therefore, only say here, that these savings banks have assumed an im• portance and a magnitude which rendered it highly desirable that they should be dealt wi h on a broad and comprehensive principle. The whole course of government procedure with regard to them ought to undergo a change. We have been treatii.g savings banks, hitherto, on a Glee and delusive prin ciple : leading the depositor to believe he posae-sed a security which we only extended to him in idea, never in reality. We ought to deal with savings banks not only as national institutions, but upon the principle of affording every possible facility to the depositor who fairly becomes a subject for their operation. These hanks have in them the dements of unlimited good and illimitable extension. The minister incurs a grave responsibility who seeks to narrow their sphere of action, or to impede the ex tension of their benefits. Upon all the details we reserve ourielvea. One point, however, our observations will have &mon grated most completely. To leave the control of savings banks in the hands of the commissioners for the reduction of the national debt is, in effect, to leave them in the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer far the time being, who, be he who he may, is the last person in England who ought to have the slightest authority for meddling with them. To any part of the bill which coolers additional powers upon the nationel debt commissioners, we invite, therefore, the serious attention of the members of the legislature. The Speaker himself, we are sure, will own that as a National Debt Commissiorcr, he never executed a single act in the course of his life. The Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer may say the same. The Governor and Deputy-G esti roor of the Bank (repre sented at present by two particularly able and efficient men) hold office only for two years. The Master of the Itol:s is, we believe, the only remaining com missioner. The duties of that law office are not very analogous to those of the CHANCELLOR of the Exuma - Ea, and if Lord LANGDALE has recently done some duty in the Old Jewry, it has probably been only in consequence of Sir CHARLES WOOD 'a long indisposiion. But we ask, without going further, is this the sort of management to which we should all wish the great interest of savings banks to be entirely confided ? There will be scarcely a difference of opinion upon this point among those who consider the details of the subject. A CONTEMFORARV remarks, with a taunt, that the late movement for liberty on the contirent has had for one of its results to add an immense increase of strength and influence to the power of the church, —that is, of the Roman Catholic Church. Church and state, hierarchy and despotism, like two tall trees, rose from year to year, side by aide, the one standing in the other's light, perhaps, bat each cour;shing itself upon independent roots. Now, one of the tall trees having baen shattered and almost rooted up, despotism has fallen for support upon the church, which never very well able to bear its own weight, is expected to support a double burden. This is called a streng Bening of the catholic church. Aus•ria, for example, had feor a century past a pecu- her way of treating the church, which was to deny it all influence in affairs of state, but to keep it to its original position, that of rel.gious teachin g and example. It took care that the church should be, what it origi nally was, a democratic institution, its clergy re cruited from the people and sympathising with them, not keeping its high pluces as lucrative seats fir the aristocracy, and as patronage and alliance with the government. Whatever was good in the Austrian administration was precisely this, that its rule, how ever arbitrary, was at least lay, and the twofold and inquisitorial tyranny, that can be wielded by an alliance between the palace and the confessional, was not practised in the Austrian dominions. This indeed it was that chiefly distal guished the ri:gime of Lombardy from that of the Roman and other Italian states. Austria, however, in its habits of local government and management, abandons its old lay system, and falls hack to the superannuated one of the PorE and the King of NAPLES. This is called by our contem porary a strengthening of the Homan catholic church. We, on the contrary, esteem it one of the most active causes of its weakening and destruction. The experiment is by no means new. The elder :BOURBONS in France made a ve•y careful and signal trial of it. Finding their people given to liberal ideas, and constitutional desires, Louis XVIII. and CHARLES X. thought that the best mode of combating and extirpating them was greatly to augment the power of the clergy, to give education up to them, to make them in each province the Coun sellers of the l'tefect, and to rule that no promotion or favour should be Distributed, but to those approved of by the priests. The consequence was that the old impatience of a despotic reactionary go vernment was so heightened by a horror of primtly rule, that all France rose to the cry of " Down with the Jesuits," and, instead of the church proving a support to the state of CitAnnEs X., it was the odium incurred by the church that pulled down both the state and itself. And the final result we have seen in the fall of the monarchy. It is certainly tempting to an administration, that cannot help or support itself, to lean upon those great organisations, the army and the church. When so ciety is broken up, these establishments alone sur vive, and seem to represent the strength of a nation. They are found, after all, however, to be mere offsets —mere forms, without life, unless animated by the same spirit which pervades the nation, and thus acting in har mony with it. A clergy which speaks the sentiments and represents the spiritual wants of a people, must indeed be an irresistible power. But a priesthood appointed by a despot to teach and to rule, is not a priesthood that can give strength to a government ; nor can an army, although in a doubtful moment it may prefer discipline to its convictions, and put down those it really sympathises with, be permanently depended on. If such an experiment failed the elder Bornnoms, and flung them from the throne, see how a semi-attempt to repeat it has affected Louis NAPOLEON BONAPAICPE. Ile too coquetted witk the church. He looked to the rungs, and their faithful flocks, to swell hs voting list on the day of election. He therefore felt it necessary to shape hie policy in consequence, to place his army at the ser vice of the PorE, and to order it to march over the body of the Boman republic, to a restoration of Papal despotism and sacerdotal supremacy. What has resulted to Louis NAPOLEON ? The utter impossibility of hie ever reigning in France, or ever going successfully through the ordeal of a new 'election. What has the French church gained by being implicated with him ? U has gained a most -nos increase of socialism. Wo cannot conclude this review of the mode in which foreign governments are conducting themselves towards the church, without mentioning that the government of Piedmont is honourably distinguishing itself b 7 resisting and fully denouncing the undue interference of the clergy in matters of administration and government. This raises, no doubt, another enemy to the constitution; but it is to h e hoped that amongst the Italian olergy there will b e found a large body who will prefer a repre,ettat ive, a popular, and a free system, to that old subju gat i, o of mind and body, to the dictates of the most feeble and palsied of the hierarchal body. We do not deny, however, that when and wherever a population consists of merely the two extremes, the peasant and the lord, that there Roman catholic ism is at home, and likely to be pawerful and t o prosper. It is after the development and in presenc e of a middle, a wealthy, and an urban class that t h e system of feudal priestcraft becomes impracticabl e , and is either modified or set aside. Let the middle class of Italy itself attain their due freedom and Wk. ence, and their quiet disgust will more effee . ually l ove and dethrone Pope and cardinal* than all tie buds of Garibaldi. Our contemporary is mistaken altogether in Q., ducirg the example of Belgium. There certsinly catholic influence makes common cause with the people, and blends with the ideas of the middle cle w . But its power varies with the ebb and flow of pop r ,i 4 opinion. As it joined, or inched led, the native s is their resistance to Holland, the clergy was all-power. ful. In a few years after, when the clergy wished t o r. sift popular progress, they were s t aside and the r influence loot. Leer events, and the fear of fi,rinih anarchists, have rallied once more tog..-ther the P,e:- giant; and their clergy. But in a land of a free pr and self-government, the clergy, like Da ter can only acquire influence by going with the stair.,, nut resisting it. COMMITTEE.
