"the all:gages to be hoped from pouring Pig a) Capital into Ireland. The benevolent object was ilefeated, and all was in v tin, as long as in that 'country one man asked another what his religion was?---(Leed whim from the Opposition). . Any man Ist all acquainted with the history of Parliament, knew 'that no measure of a strong nature could succeed in that House, unless recommended from the Throne. He wished that the Right Honourable Gentletnanovho had - biten, so successful in coalescing the jarring interests of and composing their dissensions in so wonderful a manner, would employ his conciliatory talints in pacifying that portion of the British Empire, which formed the subject of his (Mr. Dawson's) advocacy. Me hal been now only a few days in London, and he saw by the newspapers that parties had arisen, and `that feuds were excited at some late public dinners, 'which had been given at Omagh and at Armagh. One party openly avowed the horrid wish, that a civil war might arise, and that blood might be shed, boasting that "independently of aid from England,they could put down the people and possess Ireland themselves. On the - other hand, the opposite party replied—" No, no—we ore not ready for you yet, but at a future time we will." He was not now speaking as to what opinion he in -tended to express ton the subject of Catholic Emancipa tion but he was stating a fact that discontents existed 311 Ireland, and Ms opinion was, that they ought to have been made a subject of the Speech from the Thrones There were materials in every packet from Ireland to sbew the necessity of what he recommended. It might be alleged, indeed, that concessions to the 'Catholics would prove injurious to the Protestant Esta blishment; but in the justice of this objection he could by no means agree. What injury could that Church sustain, which was according to their belief founded on rock ? Injured perhaps, in its temporalities? No ;it was mere blindness in Churchmen to think so—it was, in fact, a part of hat sensitiveness which Clergymen in - all ages manifested—(Hear, hear). The freedom granted to Dis senters of all kinds clearly proved that not the smallest danger could happen to the temporalities of the Chirelt, from conceding the - same liberty to Catholics. On the subject of the Corn Law he `would observe that it might not to be left as it stood. The strength of the meassere which Ministers were obliged to adept plainly *hewed the badness of the law t and the necessity for its alteration. Mk. WESTERN hoped, that whenever the Corn Law came under the consideration of the House, it would be calmly and disptssionately discussed. But he could not think the Honourable Member for Yorkshire right in saying, that the landed prop:le:ors were anxious for a monopoly. The expression was not only wrong, but was likely to prevent that calmness of discussion which was so desirable on a great and important question. In all other points he perfectly agreed to the amendment. He would like indeed, at all times, to see the country in a condition to give - *Akita assistance to its ally. Alderman WAITHMAN was surprised at the total omission in the Speech of every important topic which should come under the consideration of the House. The nation was in great difficulties and in a perilous situa -tion. Its distresses were fully as great as at any former .period, not excepting even the season of war. He did not conceive it followed that because all agreed to the -discussion of the Corn question, that therefore every owe who so voted, was bound to go the same length in -the arrangement of its details. He conceived that the dis tress was mainly attributable to Ministers not giving suf ficient extent to ineasut es which, so far as they went, were ,perfectly right. Land during the war was raised one half; commodities of every description also rose in value. Would it then be reasonable, whet a reduction took -place in every article at the latter class, when there was a great depreciation in the value of manufactured ,goods..—when the property of the fundholder was les vetted one-fifth by changing they per Cents. tot—was It, be weteid ask, right, just, or equitable, to make a law 'upholding the price of land—a measure which must inevitably occasion distress in the country ? He rose 'to notice a subject which was not indeed touched upon either in the Speech or the Address, which was not noticed in the observations of any of the Hon. Gentle men who had spoken before him, but which yet had -caused the ruin of thousands. The bubbles, and the .gambling spirit which prevailed in the year 1720 was matter of notoriety and record, and he would be able to shew that a losssustained by a single joint stock com pony of the present time was equal to all the bubbles of 1720 put together. Yet the Minister of that day did not neglect the subject. A proclamation was issued, and an Act was subsequently passed to declare the illegality of such practices ; but in the present day no such procla mation had appeared,and in the Speech from the Throne, in 1821, he believed allusion was made to one of these same Companies. He would institute an inquiry into these different schemes, and he would then produce such facts of the bad consequences of this system (Ai gambling, for it could be called by no other name, as ' would, he trusted, stand in lien of any apology for so doing. At the sanie time it would be a very harsh duty that he had imposed en 'himself, for there were several Hoaourabk Members of tee - House `ho were engaged in these schemes; bat he hoped that when they were called upon they would be able to clear themselves. There was oat of these Companies, in which the name of a certain Hon. Wernher, who was a candidate for an honorary situation in the 'Mouse, had been so peculiarly mentioned, that until certain charges bad been refuted, he( Mr. W.) fur one, could net think of giving his vote towards the advancement of his election. Mr. BROGDEN said, that although he had been engaged in several of these Companies against which the general odium had been so justly raised, yet he could safely affirm that he was entirely unacquainted with the, intentions of the original promoters of them as to any' thing dishonest. was his misfortune to have been connected with several which had turned out to be of mere fictitious existence, but he had been induced to en gage in them from the representations of persons whom he then supposed competent to judge of their merits. At the breaking up of one of these, he, as one of the Directors, had been considered as Highly culpable; a strict enquiry, bad, however, been instituted, and he bad the most flattering accounts from such an enquiry as to his innocence. At another time a meeting had been called to examine into the affairs of one of these Companies, but owing to some irregularity in the pro- ceedings, it was deemed necessary to call a second, at which not a little obloquy was thrown on his character, yet before that meeting broke up he had so effectually cleared himself of the charges brought against him, that atter receiving the thanks of the (Thurman, he was appointed ono of the Directors. He made no doubt, that at a future period he would be enabled to clear up every thing that bad ever been brought against him. The language made use of by the Hon. Member who bad just sat down, in a recent Court of Aldermen, in al lusion to his conduct, was false—(Cries of Order). Mr. wawa—l will not submit to such language, and I all gra she How so ms are train a repetltioa et k. The amass also latarfared ; ea which Mr. BROGDEN expressed his sorrow for the lan be bad made use of, but his feelings hid been so excited by the irdierest slanderous reports dm; bad gone abroad respecting bis conduct, that on the pre sent occasion he had transgressed* bounds of decorum. He would nevertheless add. that the charge brought against him on that occasion by the Worthy Alderman was untrue. With respect to the A rigna Mining Company. be would assore the House, that at the time the proceedings of it met the eye of the Public, a Select Committee had been appointed to examine into the conduct of the parties concerned in it, and if it would not be troubling the House, he would read the Report of the Committee as to his conduct, and he was more proud of it since they were assembled to give their opinion in the most impartial manner. His appointment was con firmed, and he had been appointed Chairman of the Committee. He was much indebted to the wor thy Alderman for giving him this opportunity of shewing in what estimation he was held even by persons who must have been prejudiced against him.—[The Honourable Member here read the Re port of the Committee held on the 2d Feb. 1826, and continued .3 He was conscious of his own innocence. and hoped that he would not be deprived of an office he had held for two successive Sessions. He was aware that it was a place of great favour, and although it was a post of no man labour, he fek convinced that nothing could be adduced against him fur not attending to it. He had never absented him self, and was always at his post early and late, and be trusted that nothing he had ever done would render him incompetent to till the situation as he had heretofore done. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN begged to assure the Hon. Member, that the words he had imputed to him were not really his. He (Mr. W.) did not wish to accuse bins of being engaged in fraudulent schemes of speculation, knowing them to be such; but he would at a subsequent period bring for ward proofs that be bad been engaged in many that bore that name very justly; and he hoped that from the length of time be bad known the Hon. Member, he could not accuse bins of any wilful intention to hurt his feelings. Mr. Bannon explained. Sir J. YORKE said be understood that the Hon. Member was a Director of a Company which professed to supply Ireland with coal and iron for the sum of 10,0001. that the scheme bad afterwards been sold for the sum of 96,0001. that the originators bad thereby netted the sum of 14000/. among them ; and that the Hoa. Member bad taken his share, and had refused to give it up. Mr. BROGDEN, in explanation, assured the House that he never suspected anything wort at the time he became a Director of the Company alluded to, and that as soon as be did, be expensed his opinion to that effect, at a meet ing held at the London Tavern. In the proceedings against this Company in the Court of Chancery no one bad dared to state that be ( B.) was cognizant of the £15,000 that bad been procured in the manner described by the gallant Admiral. Mr. FERGUSSON wished to bring the House back to the real question of debate. In his opinion, the Ad dress, which was so ably and eloquently moved and seconded, was not objectionable ; and that ground was, he thought, sufficient to enable them to say that they agreed to it. When the topics it adverted to were unob jectionable, he would not oppose it on account of certain omissions; especially atter the assurance of the Right Hon. the Secretary of State, that the question of the Corn Laws would be deliberately considered, and that the still more important question, which involved ' the happiness and prosperity of I eland, and also of England, would receive the same serious attention.— He would now shortly state why he must withhold his ' assent from the Amendment of the Hen. Member, to whom the country was greatly indebted. He withheld that assent, because the amendment involved street many topics wbicb be was not prepared—neither could the House be prepared—to discuss at so short a notice—( Hear). They could not pledge themselves on the moment to come to a decision on five of the most Important questions that were ever submitted tea British Parliament—( Hear). Subjects of this nature could only be understood by long discussion and serious attention ; and therefore he was not prepared to vote ea them. Sir It. WILSON trusted he should come to the dis cussion of the Corns Laws with temper, and that the Ministers would not delay bringing the subj. cc for ward. He should discuss it as connected with the general interest of the country. Adverting to the Speech, and what had fallen from the Mover and Seconder, he admitted that our foreign relations ought to influence our establishments. To reduce them, so its to weaken our foreign relations, would be to prostrate national honour. He and others had been silent for Sessions as to the conduct of other Governments ; but he thought there was not ground for complacent views and for continued silence. The Right Hon. Secretary had raised the country from much obloquy, which had been occasioned by previous diplomacy ; and in England, as in Paris, his conduct commanded respect. But fo reign affairs were not quite so complacent as some wished them to believe. France had not kept any faith regarding Sp tin? Had not there been proscriptions, and for those who only wished for a Government of Law, the protection of property, and security for a respresenta tive Government? As this country had permitted the invasion of Spain, he hoped our Government would do something for the starving talks in this country. It was France that was to blame; it was France at work in Spain that had placed Portugal in jeopardy ; and while such a state of things lasted, it was impossi ble to say that we were at peace; and while the French flag was allowed in Spain this state of affairs would continue. Fix a period for the withdrawal of the French troops, then we might talk of a peace establishment; not till then. Mr. HENRY GRATTAN coincided with the Hon. Member for Winchels:a, in his s:ntiments regarding Ireland. Ot the miser %ble state of that country it was impossible to be ignorant; and he thought the Minis ters required a Bill of Indemnity much more fur their neglect of that country than for the measure of admitting foreign corn into this kingdom. After dwelling for souse time on the topics bf the speeches of the Mover and SPcooder et the Address, he concluded by saying, that he had intended to peeress an amendment, which be should noW decline. Mr. MOORE (Member for Dublin) was of opinion that the situation of Ireland had been sufficiently alluded to in the general observation of the speech in regard to the distresses of the country ; and as to the Catholics, it was their own fault that they did not pos sess political influence as well as the perfect religt,us toleration which they enjoyed, as they refused to give the necessary securities in that respect. Sir JOSEPH YORKE was desirous of making one' observation before the question was put. He consi dered it the most milk and water Speech he had ever heard. An Honourable Gentleman had brought for ward a charge against a certain Tax Office, which was to blow all to—he would ant say where—(4 laugh.)— Instead of calling them to a proper account, they were to receive pensions. Thai wasio nudity a bad system of economy. His hope was, that his Honourable Friends would attend more to matters of economy. As to the state of the Army be was obliged to say there appeared to be meth boasting. Mr. R. MARTIN said, he took the same view as the Honourable Member for the City of Dublin; whether he voted for Roman Catholic Emancipation, or whether be opposed it, he should complain that some allusion had not been made in the Speech from the Throne to the Roman Catholics of Ireland. He begged leave to say, if his Hon. Friend would propose the amaidaatait be had men tioned, it should hate his suppact. Mr. CALCRAFT said be oath s o t mama id pledge himself to the terms of the aasaadmaa teas Hun. Hitinbir for Montrose. He thought the with ravioli* to Ireland intro. dead an_ important question.

In support of this opi nion it is mentioned, that in a recent interview, which one of the Gentlemen attached to the mission had with the Reis Esranor. the former repeatedly used the words Greek Government, at which the Turkish Secretary expressed great surprise,without being able, however. to obtain a retraction of the offended expressions. For three weeks previously, the British Ambassador had had no inter eoutsewidi the Porte. We give these particulars as trustworthy. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Sidle of Monday. They ate barren of intelligence of any leading interest. The principles of free trade, first proclaimed in this country, continue to extend themselves and to flourish in the North. " The liberal policy set in practice by the British Ministry," says an article from Stockholm." has just obtained a fresh triumph in the conclu sion of a treaty of commerce between the Kings of Swenas and of 01311 MARX. The ancient hatred which divided those two nations, and which the 'events of 1114 had augmented, added greater diffi culties to an union which the nature of things, and the interest of each people demanded. The enlightened spirit of the age, however, surmounted all obstacles, and Sweden and Denmark have conceded to eacbother the rights enjoyed by the most favoured nations, and have abolished all the laws which restricted navigation." This morning we received German Papers to the 15th, but their contents are of no importance. The following notice has been published at Stade: " That foreign Missionaries are prohibited from holding religious meetings, and delivering religious discourses, and that none but the Parochial Clergy and superior Ecclesiastical Authorities, shall be permitted to distribute religious writings." His MAJESTY opened the Session yesterday in person, and delivered the Speech with a clear, manly, and expressive voice. He congratulated both Houses on the glorious termination of the war with the Burmese, stated the continued disposition of all Foreign Powers to cultivate the relations of peace, and for the first' time publicly announced that he was exerting hi mself with wire mitting anxiety, both singly and in connection with his Allies, " to arrest the progress of existing hostilities, and to prevent the inter. minion of peace in various parts of the world." This important communication relates evidently, in the lint instance, to Greece and Turkey, and to Persia and Russia, the sole countries where there are hostilities to arrest, and the second to Spain and Portugal, where there is still a deeply endangered peace to preserve. In both Houses Amendments were moved to the Addresses proposed in answer to the Speech, and their fats were nearly similar. In the Peers Lord Kmo's amendment was snaoknously rejected. In the Ceennsons Mr. Hums's produced a Debate, and then expired under a majority of 107 to 24. Lord Lawton. and Mr. Secre tary Camas both explained it to be the determination of Govern. Mast net to bring on the discussion of the Corn Laws, until after the Recess, when they would take the earliest possible day to in wedgies that important question to the delibetative wisdom of Par basest.

His I SIAJIMIreS Intention of opening the flarllainent In permit having been made publicly known yesterday aiortrlng, the whole line of the greets from Sc. James's to the Parliament Houk, (Pall Mall, Cockspar•street, Charing-Crew, Parliament-stteet.and Palette Yard), were crowded with anxious spectators, sad trebicles of all de.. scriptions were t anged on both sides of the way. So great a crowd had not been assembled since the Coronation, nor was more loyal ardour ever manifested than by the elegant persons of both seamarks aped all the windows and the tops of the houses along t►e whole line of the procession, as well as by the countless multitude. who crowded to excess, every street and avenue leading to the ileums of Lord.. The road was strewed with gravel, and a detachment of the ad Rev. of Royal Life Guards paraded the streets. Shortly after 12 o'clock his MAJCSTY'S Crown of State was conveyed to the House of Lords, in one of the King's private carriages. At half-past one o'clock the Royal procession moved in the following order Three of his MAJIIIITY'S private carriages, drawn by six bay horses, each containing his Majesty's Officers and attendants. A private cartage, drawn by six black horse., containing the Duke of WatinssioN, Karl Moon:creates, and the Mutter of the lion& Twelve of the King's servants dressed in their State Liveries. Twelve Yeomen of the Guard. An Escort of the 14 Regiment of Life Guards. Ills Manners. in the Royal State Carriage, drawn by Eight Cream-coloured Horses, most superbly caparisoned. A Detachment of the Life Guards closed the Procession. His Maasser looked extremely well, and was hailed with the most rapturous applause. When the State Carriage hid stopped, and his Jiaaessit alighted, the bursts of applause were tremendous, accompanied by the firing of guns, Stc. At an early hour the great dour leading from Westminster Hail was beset by an impatient crowd struggling for admission, bet all persons were strictly excluded who were not supplied with cards from the Lord Chamberlain's Office. At half-past twelve o'clock the doors were thrown open, and the interior presented a most brilliant and animated appearance. The different henebes were occupied by the wives and daughters of the Nobility and leading Gentry, all dressed in the richest and most elegant style. Pink and blue were the prevailing colours, and the head dresses consisted, for the most part, of feathers and diamonds. The Karl of TANKSAIIILL; Lord Toaiinsarost, wkh some other Peers in their robes, ushered several Ladies to their seats, and Sir THOMAS TY 'mune, in his official character, was unremitting in his assiduities. Amongst the Ladies present we noticed Mrs. Covets, who was dressed in a black velvet pelisse, with a rich ermine tippet thrown over, a lace scarf, diamond necklace, ear-rings , and a variety of magnificent diamond ornaments in her bead-dress, which consisted 'of a profusion of white pearls. Atter his MAIISIT had taken his seat on the throne, and previous to the Smartt appearing below the liar, attended by a body of Members from the House of Commons, his Mame: was observed conversing in a most gracious manner with the Earl of Ltvganioc, who was standing on his Maaasee's kft hand. His Mussel' read the Speech with great distinctness and emphasis, and in that part which refers to the assurances given by the Allied Powers to preserve peace with this country, his Majesty directed his attention o the Foreign Ambassadors, who were at the foot of the Atone. .As soon as his Majesty had delivered the Speech, and had bowed to the Ladies on each side of the House, he rose and descended the steps from the throne. On leaving the House, his Meanest was again welcomed with enthusiastic shouts, and the strongest demonstrations of loyalty and respect ; and the firing of guns was repeated. The Royal Prom& don returned by the same route as it went, and the Kane alighted d St. James's Palace about three o'clock, 'amidst the entbuslastis cheering of the populace. A report prevails, that a person arrived yesterday from the Spanish Government with remonstrances from the Spaoish Cabinet, in regard to the affairs of Portugal. The Duke of CLARCNCI was in the House of Lords yesterday, in his naval uniform, accompanied by the Duchess. Captain Load BYitom was in the House of Lords yesterday.

I I II Mitt embracing nutter of the Most imporpt character. the, amendment ftUed on a large number of oew blenlbets, who bad never haeati opportunity of hearing those subjects discussed, to vote for a proposition longer than the Speech itself. He (Mr. Caicraft) had constantly voted for the reduction of taxation. He considered the Corn Laws injurious, and should vote against those laws; but he could not consent to take the composition pro. posed by his Hoe. Friend. On the subject of the army he must declare, that until be saw some better system adopted than that pursued by Government, for giving security to Ireland, he felt that a large force must be kept up in that country. It was not his fault that Government pursued the system which he copsidered detri mental to the interests of Ireland; but he thought the House of Commons could not deviate from the course of the last Parlia ment, which bad decided that the military force of the country could net be diminished. He should not vote for reduction of the army until lie saw the course to be taken by his Majesty's Govern meat. One thing connected with the reduction of the army was economy. They must also look to foreign affairs. Bring gene prally a friend to almost aU the topics introduced into the amend ment, he could not pledge himself to the details without-at least an examination of them.
