This enabling of content bad been agreed to at a Meeting without one dissentient voice. That resolution Might be take. as a specimen of die general feeling of content felt in Ireland at do se measures. Mr. Secrecy) , PEEL—There could be no speech Sr mincledve as the butt jaw read as as evidence of the feeling of acqilieseence felt by the Catholics and Protestants of Ireland In the Measures now before the House, not merely on the part of the gen try, bat of the great body of the constituents. It had been said that the Government had taken advantage of the national enthusiasm felt In Ireland at the inuwductios of the first lhil to obtain the acqui escence of the people on the present measures.. He (Mr. Peel) believed that the people of Ireland expressed their deliberate, sober opprobatioo of it on eaten conviction. The Protestants, too, he believed, felt acquiescence, If not content, at the measure. Is fact, sorbing gave him such hopes of the great benefit of these measures as the tranquil acquiescence entertained at there Bills by all classes in 'lreland. As to the resolution of the Noble Lord be must disapprove of ft, as subversive of the . prineiple of the BM. The prospective apality would take away all the saiety of the measure. His Own opinion 'was, that the increasing the sum to £lO would induce the forty shilling freeholder, to register their freeholds. Ile had authority for stating that in one county •of Ireland, of twenty thousand register e d freeholders only two bad registered co their own account, ur at their dun expense. The most im portant observation which had Wen made was, he thought, that made by the Noble Lord, and supported by an Honourable Getf drown opsweite, who wished that the forty *billing fr.nchise held in tee-simple should he preserved, while that in freehold should be abolished. Now, the law recogni.ed no difference in voting be tweets the tee-simple and the leasehold franchise; at d if any New distinction was introduced it mug necessarily give thasatiefacdon. If this plan wereto be adopted it would have the effect of retaining the franchise for one party of the freeholders, and that party the Protestants. in proof of this assertion be would refer to a Catholic cou..ty—that of Waterfited—where it appeared that in the year 1125 there were 2,119 forty shilling freeholders, not one of whom registered do it vote froombeir, own fee-simple estate; whereas, in a Protestant county, out 0f,11014. 127 bad registered from their own estate. The fat Was. that Moe oat of ten of the fee simple freeholds were belffby`Pronteraiitit, thtlight it wovid be admitted that it was consistent with the principles of justice and equality to refuse to form the distinction ;• besides, be believed there were more fictitious freeholds held in fee from bogs and moentains than were Weld in leasehold. For these reasons he could not admit the proposition of the Noble Lord. As he was desirous of snaking some alterations in the Bill, be should propose that the House should to-night go into a Committeepro forme, and that • the discussion of the details should be postponed to another time. The attentions be should make would, be thought, Meet with genera/ approbation, as the effect of those alterations would be to extrod, rather than limit, the power of voting on ten pound free.. bolds; for esatuple, be proposed to omit the words" legal title" in the Bill, as it might tend to exclude those who postesied an equitable title to a ten pound freehold. The Bill is it at present stood men ti“neel ten pound freeholds, " free from all incumbrances." He thought the word " incumbrances" would have the effect in Ireland to 'retraining the right of voting. He should, therefore, omit the word *I isseumbrances," and regulate it so that the freeholders should • have a test pound interestlree Irons all parochial charge. Another alteration he should make was with regard to the power of appeal. At present the freeholders bad a right to appeal from the decision of the Assistant Barrister as to qualification, but it was to a jury appointed by the same Assistant barrister who bad already decided ou the question. lie should alter it so far as to leave the freeholder the power of appeal to the Judge of Assize and the regolar Jury. There were several other alterations which he Amid make in the !hit, and he should therefore move now that the House should go into a Committee am the Bill pre forma. Lud PALMERS'ION odd a sniggesti ,n to make which had struck him from an observation of the Right lion. Gentleman, that be foresaw leas inconvenience in the eseiciae of the forty shilling frauchise in the curse of twenty years than at present. He, therefore, thought that the operation of the present Bill should be limited to a certain period. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the n.eastwe was ad vocated by some as one of security, and by others as one of sub. .srantial good. It was as a substantial good he viewed it, and as such be could not consent to the proposal of the Noble Lord. . Lord DUNCANNON replied.

His Imperial MAJEATT declared to the Portu guese Deputation which waited upon him, that he would show to the whole world his determination to fight for t l.e tights of his Daughter their Quail!. We may there. lore expect that an attempt will be immediately made, either by the Masilion Government themselves, or through the means of their Aliies, to dislodge the Usurper from the Thsobe which he has so basely mounted, and so unworthily filed. The felnin of our Ambassador, Lord STRANOVORD, may be shortly expected, and Great Britain, France, and Andria, will then probably njnintly assist in res cuing Portugal from the tyranny under which she now groans.

Mr. Axurr contended against this opinion. Ile thought that the LegisLture never could have intended to is.fiiet a punishment upon individuals for its owls errors.
