i perish for want of food. He hoped the Act of Union would never be repealed ; but he felt that it had caused ■ decrease of manufactures in Ireland, and increased its pauperism. If manufacturers are out of emplokmeso in Ireland they have no support, and ate obliged to cod grate—and when a demand comes, the master manufirt. curer a .snot pet hands to carry on his trade. Who, then, would he so foolhardy as to establish manufactures in ? He thought it was evident that the rainditiOn of celand roust be raked . to that of England, or the c.-odition of. England .mosi, sink to that of Ireland. He thplght_ Leland, could only. be raised by a system - of poarlsws, Which ha.l been found- so beneficial. in this 'country. At present five pence a day was considered the 'average rite of wages in Ireland. of which the la bourer had but one-third more than the mere support of . ' his existence. It.he earned 15J. a day, then would there be a home mar ket.for the produce of the soil and for 40snlifactures, and a taxable revenue would- be pros • ducedeo(Hear). • The great objection made to the poor * laws of Euglani-was founded on their abuse. Poor 'laws in Ireland were as necessary for the people of England as.tor those of Ireland, as they would prevent that ruinous competition for labour that now takes place . in this country. Poor laws would also check the surplus population, as men would become more prudent when • they did ,not depend on chance for support. He was confident they would increase the value of property ten fold*, Ireland, and that Irish landlords would bail the day when they exchanged the pauper for a pony law -• System. The Honourable Gentleman moved that the , House would, early next Session, take into considera ,tion the establishment of a system of poor laws in Le land, applicable to the exigencies of that countiy. . The queation having been seconded, and put front the Chair, Lord F. L. GOWER said be felt at all times con. siderable Inziety on addressing the House, and that if his intention on that occasion had been to enter into arguments hostile to those of the Hon. Member who hiid proposed the resolution under consideration, that ant ety would have been greatly increased from the ability with .which toe Hon. Member had treated the subject. He however was not to much inclined to deny or to dispute with the positions, of the -Honourable Mem ber, as be was desirous of explaining the reason which , would induce him on the part of the Gostritment to meet the Ittsolution, by movies. •as , an • amend ment on it, the previous question. In making such a motion he had not the slightest- intention to pass . . over,the subject, or e arguments of' the Honourable bl , mber, with disrespect. Bub were. unque.tionably' • worthy of, and demanded consideratiow •He looked, however, with great .apprehension at any proceedings whichwould lead that House to the verge of legisla tion upon so int' ica:e and important a subject. when,. after all. difficulties might occur which could he con ' q'uered only by time, further inquiry. and great la bour. It the poor in Leland were led to expect the immediate intniductinn of a system of poor laws which • welt to be a panacea for their distresses, he should al. most dread ; the revulsion which might be occasioned by disappointment. The principle upon which, however, be founded his objection to the motion was his. unwilr • liogivos to see that House pledge Wass to any specific entsise„ esprcially.to a system in which the details were .of very complex arid most important character. ,He admitted Oat in some instances the plan pursued by the • Hon. Member in proposing his resolution had been aeree4 to by ike House, but he contended that the Morose had only pledged itself to a particluar course, in the ris.ntier now proposed under peculiar circumstances. Io 1812, a Statesman, who, to the lass of the country, was nose no more (Nlr. Canning) proposed a resolution with reference to that great question which had re cently so happily been settled, and that resolution was adopted by the House; but looking tothe consequences of that proceeding, he confessed he wits not at , all in clined to adopt it as a precedent. He therefore, on the part of Goretnnient, wished to avoid pledging himself in any way as to what it might be necessary, to do re 'petting the introduction of the poor laws into Ireland. He was aware that be might be told that there -was • ample esi.letice before the House. as to the state of Leland, and upon which evidence Ire might safely make up • his mind as to what. ought to be done is principle. But he must remark, that in the reports befote that House respecting Ireland, able and volu minous as they were, he could find but' very little which bore directly upon the subject. (Heari. Much by implication might be made to throw a light upon it, but while he admitted that, he could not help also remarking, that the subject was one to the principle of which it woold be dangerous for the House to pledge itself, until it saw its way also in the details. As a proof of his accuracy in stating that the information before the House entered but very little at all into the details of the question, he would just allude to the evidence of. Mr. de to Coin, who was one of the most zealous irdwo.... cites for the introduction of the poor laws into Ireland. Mr. de la Coin, when asked what details he. would re. commend. declared that he was incapable of giving any opinion upon that point of the question. He there, fore rigs:ire/I further information; and for the reasons ‘ he had stated, could int consent to the adoption of the resolution inagilied by the Honourable Member. • The, Noble Lord concludeohy moving the previous question,, Mr. WILMOT HORTON alluded to the way in which a laieChief Secretary of Ireland (LotdMelb urn') • had received a specific' recommendation from the Com. mince upon Emigration. • What bad transpired, how. ever, since that recon,mendation had convinced him (Me. Melia Milos ! ) of its propriety, and be implored the Government to take-rata its consideration E.e cave of those - persons who were ejected in consequence of the Fatty-shilling Fieeliolders' Disfranchisement Bill. He contended that the . present distinction between the Irish labour. er .and the English, could pot permanently exist The real considetatioo was, when and how they should introduce that " system of poor laws, which • would bring about that parity which alone could give security anti prosperity to both countries. The introduc.ion of a moderated system of poor laws into Ireland was essen tial to the welfare of both islands; but he contended that the first evil to be provided for was the redomiancy of the population, He denied that the mere intruduc Lion of a system of the poor laws, however good, would raiie the rate of wages in Ireland. The redundancy of Population was an evil which would . not correct itself He himself had given notice of emotion upoo the silt-jest for'hat eveniug, and . the few remarks which lie wished to malt.. lespecting. it eight as bo • introduced thee as at oho other period tbaspighs.

Gentleman in a place in that House, where he might boldly and fairly assert, and if he could, prove those statements which 'be had made elsewhere. That Hon. Member was Most un doubtedly-net Duly conspetent to' ive his opinion, but . alto to.move an ioquiryinto the whole questidn ; *Ad NAN' Mysterious system possessed the merits the Ilea: Amber asetibed to it, he would do the country.* vast ideal of service by unfolding it. But when that Hon. `Member prodiimed to the country that the Emigration Committee were actuated by selfish motives; that the emigrants were consigned to death, or to tedious ,rniteryi-nod-horrors of every deicription; that those who fainted {he' Report were presumptuous, arro gant, cruel, heartless beings; that they effected the act 'in a moment of superior power; and that they did.so from an indulgence of speculative spurious philosophy, it was the duty of the Honourable Mem ber to declare the grounds upon' which he made such serious charges, and threw obloquy upon a pro. position which came from men 'to the full as honourable and as well iatentioned as himself. He wished to touch as lightly as possible upon the subject, inn when the Hon. Member. was in his place...-when they had him there—he could not refrain from calling upon him to suppett his assertions. He quarrelled not with the in vective of the Hon. Member—he quarrelled not with his opinions, provided he would, as a man of honour, give his reasons for making such charges against others.— The Hononurable Member had stated that the emi graws had been bribed and solicited out of their native land—tbeit they had experienced sufferings fat, very fir, beyond what they could have known in their native country—and that in a• vast plurality of cases their misery and torments had been ended only by death. If such statements were to be left before the country un contradicted, it would be idle to suppose thatvoluntary emigration would go on—l Hear). But what •was the recommendation of the Committee which had brig thus severely charged by the Honourable Member? Why it bad in its Report recommended not only nht to force persons to emigrate, but that Government should take no part in the 'emigration of any who were not zealous for the undertaking—(Hear, hear). But upon the state of the emigrants there was ample. evidence before the House. There were the Reports of Colonel Cockburn and of another Gentleman, who had, been dispatched by Government especially to inquire into the state of the settlers, and they both spoke of their condition as highly prosperous. It might be said that those Reports were partial, in consequence of the con nexion of the ',sitars with Government; but he could net at all agree with any such assertion, for he had often taken occasion to observe that the labours of the Emi gration Committee had not received that degree of attention at the bands of Government to which they were, in his opinion, entitled. Should those repot;:, how ever, be charged as detective, he would first mention that two years ago be received a letter from Captain Basil ho was travelling among the new settlers,and Paid particular attention to their condition and their pros. pects. That gentleman 'described them as extremely well off, and remarkably happy and contented. In con sequence of the letter alluded to, he (Mr. H.) wrote to Captain Hall, and requested answers to some particular questions, with a view of learning as accurately as pos. siole the condition of the new settlers, what they had endured, and what were their prospects The firstquel dun was, 64 Have you known a singleinstance in *hid) any emigrant sent out by Government, terminated his ezirtence in misery ?" The reply s• as, that . after the most diligent inquiry, be had not been able to dis cover any one single instance of such I description. It should, however, be remarked, that the reply of Capt. Hall was applicable only to those, emigrants viho had been sent out by Government and regularly Allocated. The next question was, " Were not the se ttlers ybo hate seen, in a remarkable state of prosperity ?" The reply was in the efirmatiee,.and also spoke very highly of their prospects. The third question wits' to the effect, " Do you not agree •with - the Committee in thinking that a regulated emigration on the plan proposed by them is beneficial to the emigrants, and that an unset- tled, unregulated emigration is' injurious to the parties immediately concerned ?" Again the answer was in the affirmative. i-In 'putting that question, his object bad been to prove the difference in the consequence of . the plan proposed by the 'Emigration Commit tee, and the precarious mode of emigration which had been too much acted' upon. The Honourable Member (Mr. Sailer) had.• advocated the teclamation of the waste land and bogs of Ireland; and most - assuredly if the Hon. Member was able to show that such a change could , be effected et a cheap rate, he would confer a great benefit.on the country. He was bound to itittik . too, that it had•been provetbefote the Committee that some of the waste lands might be cultivated ; and hewn decidedly of opinion that Government would du well ti snake an experimert to learn the es pens. and the succesa likely to attend the undertaking on a considerable scale. But if those lands were cultivated end proved rich, the natural consequence would ire to reduce the value of the poor lands now in cultivation, and the produce of the new lands would act.as for eitn corn imported into the mar. ket. One of .the Honourable Member's (Mr. Sadler's) suppositions was, that the framers of the Emigration keport argued that' ['eland was not capable of pro. ducing sufficient food for its population ; but the Emi gration Committee said no such thing. They knew the contras, to be the fact. It was, however, one thing to produce food sufficient and another for the poor to have money sufficient to purchase it. The grower of course ;amok his article to the best' marker. With .respect• to the resolution ref re the House, he mast 'say hews,' convinced that the p. or laws introduced into Ireland at the present moment would act as an Aviation Law. The landowner %scold very soon find it impossible to get any rents at all. Cr' tainly, ',commended h ? the rettior ray the t,soluti,in was, it was an 'enticing one to the British landowner if he thought only of his own inte rest, fir if Adopted and Jived upon without any previous .provision for the superabundant population, • its count .quence must be an entire absence of Irish grain from the Englielymarket. Such a step would rather increase than lessen pauperism. If the wages of labour could be equalised here and in Ireland, then he would admit theta' s; rum of poor laws might be deairable there. He begged pardon fir having be long trespassed Witt the attention of Vie House, hot it was a subject to which he had devoted :Tony years, and in which he felt deeply interested. &s.a.e. said the true way t s relieve the country was to lap off the. Assessed Taxes, others to do away with the ,ffinecutes, brit re knew not where they were to be found; and others to repeal the COI n Leas. All these he thought indffectual. ( Here the lion. Member read some ex attracts from toe evidence of Mr. Mahhus before the Emigration Committee.) Whatever remedies might be sitoirable would be ino l .erative as long as the demand kw labour was not equal to the supply. •• He was con &Writ that, in the peseta circun.stalices of the country, the-only remedy was a removal or pot of the. super fluous population, either by emigration, or by securing sot them employment from souse other transom He should be mog happy. to hear that Government had MOM sucb plan to contemplation. . . Mr. SADLER said he should not occupy the time of the House very long. and he should not now have risen were it not for the pointed alrusions whieh had been made to him by the Right Honourable Gentle Tan. though he did not know' that the Right Hannur4Sle Gentleman (Mr. Wilmot:Horton) was p e rfectly in III;, Air; in alluding in that House'to t.puhlication'which appeared before he had tie honour of 't Ciiit in it. He' must disavow all intention of any thine like personality in any thing which he might say upon this occasion and indeed in the work alluded In he had avoide.l stn diously any thing of the kind. It was true he objected in tbe principle of the Emigration Committee, and stigma. tried it perhaps in no measured terms, but in so doing he used only the same liberty. an example of which wa s frequently set in that House, o here parsons enter t.ining, certain opinions were stigmakised a. Vols or rogues. IV Meant, however, nothiog personal. For the characters of the Right Kin. Gentleman (Mr. Wilmot Horton) he entertained the highest respect, and any errors he might have fallen into he attributed entir,ly to the erroneous niticini he hicrtaken up of some of the principles of prArticel economy. Tire ;Right Hon. Gentleman ob. served. that he had devoted much iinie and attention to this particular subject of emigration; and he. too (Mr. S.) wis . not inattentive to it, but the conclusions to Which he and / the Right Honourah!e Gentleman came were very different. He 'Maintained that emi gration was not a necessary rev ' u ce in any country 'Which employed t all the means within its reach 'He maintained that it was a law of Nature—a 11w established by a benevolent Pitovinence. that Ise means -of suppoA in every country were alwass proportioned to the increase of population. So far' from wishing to throw out any injurious reflections upon the Emigration Committee, he paid them a compliment, which he belesed had not been paid by one in a trundled thousand, for be read the whole of their Report, :though it swelled to the seize of a 'family Bible. and he read it not lightly or cursorily, but phihrsophicsily, and with the greatest attention. The bndk to which tke Right Honourable Gentleman "alluded was written by him (Mr. Sadler) in great ?brae, and he greatly regretted it he had been bete asesl into any thing lite harsh language. For the individual Member's of the Committee, and for their Chairman, he entertained tire greatest respect; but as an Englishman he had a right to speak his sentiments, and to decl tie freely and openly what he thought of the course which they suggested as a vemedy for the distreses of the iouritry; It appeared to him that the Report was founded on a wrong view of the subject ; and when hr entered into the discussion of it in the pamphlet to enrich the Right lion. Gentleman bad done him the i herfinur of referring, he thought he was perfectly jests., .114041 in alluding to the absentees of Ireland. It was its speaking of them he used many of those terms of re. probation which the Right Hen. Gentleman suppo.ed to have been directed against other persons. lie bad 'sufficient evidence to support the statements he had made in both impressions of the book. and he Would now, with the permission of the House, bring some part of it before them. lie must premise, at the same time, that be charged no person with intentional cruelty. All he contended for was, that those who favoured plans of emigration were mistaken in their views. He would now come to some facts. An emigration took place from the south of Ireland in the year 1825. under the direction and management of Mr. Robinson. There were about 2000 selected from a population of 50.000; an 4 BO doubt those so selected were persons who, Irons t ' appearance, promised health and longevity. The sea hel and - attention of Mr. Robinson were eulogized by that Ceinttrittee, and the emigrants were mentioned-in theft report as being in a prosperous and Uniting cnnditioti. Now, what was the real state of the case ? There wet.' located 1,845 individuals. consisting of 454 families, and in this 'number, between the year 1825 and Novel's. bee, 1826, there were 131 deaths. There were 53 heeds of families ill of agues, eight of whom continued ill the whole summer, and many of them never enjoyed goes health since their arrival—(The Honourable Gentleman read a statement of the number of deaths ois each loci tion, making in all one hundred and thirty-one).-1e Wales, the proportion of deaths was as one in 49; in England, as one in 57; but here was a mortality of one in 14. Could any other community in the world, rent Constantinople itself, be mentioned, in which the nuns; her of deaths was so great, compared to the population? The mentality in Dublin, even while the fever raged there. was nOt equal to this. Now these facts he did 'not mention in his book; and were not the Committee indebted to him for suppressing it? . Mr. W.* HORTON -.They are stated In the Report itself. Mr. SADLER resumed—Then what became of the extreme's:ate of ptosperity so much vaunted? He did not mean to cut any reflection upon the :night 'flux Hentleman" (Mr. Wilmot-Holton), whose name, be knev', was identified with benevolence and of whose good and kind intentions no person could for a moment ddubt.. He trusted that ultimately the feelings of true benevolence • would triumph over all such vi.i4leary speculation.. The proper field for the employment of English I..b.cr was within the limit, (their own shrrieF, acid not in foreign settlements. He denied that there was a reiundirocy of population.

It was a complaint made in his time as well as now, but he re jected the idea. The Member for Abingdon asked him what remedy he (Mrs Sadler) proposed, and promised 'to.support it if it was such as he thought calculated to remedy the evil. 'He would soon put the Honourable Member to the test, by submitting some proposition to the Hod* either this Session or the next. Perhaps at so late period of the prevent Session he could not hope to do it. Upon a subject like this, with which he was terf.ctly familiar, he felt some difficulty in restraining himself within due limits; and he should have gone at much smiter length into it were be not afraid of fatiguing the House. . MI: W. HORTON said the emigrants in 1825 were landed in the unhealthy season, which was in a great measure the cause of so many deaths. This, and other unfavourable circumstances, might be avoided in Suture. Le the Hon. Gentleman compete the Mortality of 1825 to that among the emigrants of 1823. Mr. SADLER said he had founded no inferenee on the ernigi Aden of 1823. That of 1825, in which there S west 151 deaths, was represented as being in a happy and prosperous condition. Mr. S.
