I SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Cuaowictz....A warm scene took piste in the House of Com. mons last night. The subject was a late run on the Banks in Ireland, attributed to a letter from Mt. O'Connell to the Editor of The JVakrford Chronkk. We are far from approving of the re commendation of Mr. O'Connell, which, if acted on to any extent, must have been productive of much injury to those who ate least able to bear it. It is deeply to be lamented that Ireland should re. main in a state which enables any individual, be he who hetnay, to produce the effects described by Mr. Doherty. The truth seems to he, that the people of Ireland are pipes on which all may play by turns. We shouldlike to see the people possessed of a mind and a will of their own. If the Duke of Wellington, no longer Minister, or Sir Francis Burdett, or Mr. Brougham, or Sir James Gra. ham, or Mr. Hume, or any public character in this coun. try, were so addre ss a letter to the Editor of any news paper in this country, In a neighbourhood where paper Is circulated, recommending a run, the letter would be dime. gardcd, except a doubt were entertained of the solvency of the bank. But pas tulit Graschoe de :editions wrests* y The Irish Mem. bers, In their rebellion, as it has been called, on the subject of tax. ation, have not set an example which entitles them to complain of any one. We admit that it was 111. advised in Ministers to meddle with the Irish Press. But, generally speaking, there can be no rea. son why any one part of the empire should be less taxed than any other part. The Highlands of Scotland and Wales, are naturally poorer than Ireland ; but are we, on that account, to have one rata of taxation in the Highlands, another in Wales, and another in Ire. land ? On the principle on which a different rate of taxation is contended for, with respect to Ireland, there ought to be a separate rate for each district. If Ireland is poorer than England, it will pay less, for the produce of a tax depends on the ability of the tax payers, and not on the rate. The great bulk of the population in Ireland are unfortunately below the reach of taxation, and it is im. material, as far as they arc concerned, what the rate is. But the gentry are selfish enough to wish advantages over their fellow.citi. Zen, in this country to which they are not entitled. If the Irish Squirearchy can only squeeze the people, and obtain an exemption from every bnrthen, whether on account of the State or the poor, that is all they are for. TIMM—For some time past the French Government has been turning its attention with apparent zeal and activity, to subjects of manufacturing and commercial interest, without being able to rise above the prejudices, or to dispel the Ignorance, by which they are surrounded. Hence, while they have schools of arts and trades, — while they have established lectures on chemistry, mechanics, and political economy, for the benefit of the industrious clasee,—while premiums are offered for improvements in almost every branch of manufactures,—while exhibitions take place in one of the royal palaces of the products of indust r y, as a national spectacle ,—we findl industry shackled with multiplied useless regulations, and foreign trade almost extinguished by impolitic restrictions. Hence, while they endeavour to encourage one kind of industry by bounties, they destroy another by prohibitions, and, desirous to enjoy Incompatible advantage!, repel from their ports those foreign products, without the admission of which they cannot find a market far their own. Hence ft hag i pens, that two of the greatest trading nations in the world, with a few leagues of other, whose inter. course might be so advantageous, from their proximity and from the variety of exchanges to which their reciprocal wants and peculiar productions might give rim, appear to have esta blished a kind of commercial quarantine against each other. ...Hence, though it was proved, almost to demonstration, deer. log the suffering of the French wine trade since 1827, that France would derive incalculable benefit from relaxing her prohibitive sys tem, and admitting iron and colonial goods to exchange for the pro. duce of her vineyards, the Government still penises in maintaining expensive foundries at the public expense, in forcing the manufac ture of sugar from beet.root, and allowing several vintages to sour In the cakes of the wine-grower. —That this conduct proceeds from antiquated prejudice and imperfect information, rather than from any lack of activity on the part of theatres:lament, is evident, among other things, from the bustling attempts of almost every successive Administration to do some th ing striking in favour of sade.-.. M. de Peyronnet, whose life has hitherto been almost exelu. eively devoted to the studies and duties of the psis. slim, no sooner enters the hotel of the Hoare ilepaetowt than he is inspired with the wish of im pro ving the dilikl/17 of thou Boards with which his functions require lie to consult on affairs of trade and manufactures. Aessedingly we have in the Mention. of Tueeday, a long seneet by this minister rseing these councils, fwd by a _loyal dares for remodelling Since the institution of Comma General of Commerce and Manufactures, the delegates of ism Miens* interests have composed two bodies. The Council of Ossimus at present consists of 85 members, and that of Mamilbelisso alai The /Minister of the Interior has the power of neeisling at isle good meetings. They are usually consulted on any greet moms slitt ing the classes which they represent, and by whit.* they use peed* elected. In addition the duty thus imposed upon them et giving their opinion when asked, they sometimes mime to sake reps. sentations and remonstrances when the Gorenment would wish them to be silent. This was the twee, as some of war min will ',collag e at the commencement of the Spanish invasion, when both councils concurred in petitioning for a eontla_snce dr sew Whe ther the Minister finds its inconvenient to reside over two separate bodies whose interests are so intimately oinseeted, ea thinks that their duties would be more successfully perineed by a union of their counsels and a reduction of their members, it is difficult to say • but in his report he has given sense plausible reasons for f orming the two commissions into see, and seducing their mem. bers from 116 to 72. According to the existing system, the mem. bers of the Councils of Trade and Manufactures were chosen partly by the classes which they represented, and partly by the Minister of thc Interior. This mode of election is still to continue for the formation of the united board. In France there are 34 Chambers of Commerce established in the different great cities of the kingdom. These Chambers are to elect 30 merchants to represent trade • the the Chambers of Manufactures are to elect 18 chiefs of manufaetur. lug establishments to represent their interest, and the Government retains the power of nominating 18. Besides, several of the larger towns are empowered to nominate two members, Paris itself return. log eight. The list thus formed must be submitted to the King for his approbation before the Council can begin to act. Though the two councils which formerly existed separately are thus to be con. solidated into one, the Board is still, for the purposes of conve. nient consultation, to be divided Into two sections, with approriate duties, and acting under Vice-Presidents of their own c hoice. This latter regulation (which in effect reconverts the council into separate boards ,) taken in connexion with th e di m i nut i on o f t h e numbers, and the necessity of submitting the lists to the Royal ap probation, is sufficient to beget a suspicion that M. de Peyronnet has invented this plausible meaeure of consolklation to get rid of two inconvenient deliberative bodies, and to secure the nomination of councillors less powerful and more tractable. The ground of this suspicion will appear strengthened, when it is considered that the great mass of the industrious classes in France belong to the Liberal side- -that the opposition to the existing Cabinet is composed chiefly of the manufacturing and mercantile interests—that at the electoral colleges nearly all the voters whose qualification depends on the tax derived from patentee, or licenses to trade, are hostile to the Minis. tern—and that the monied interests, which the reformed councils re present, will form the strong array against them in the next Chamber. lizaain—The suppression of the inhuman practice of Sarkis was a measure which we had frequently pressed upon the notice of our Anglo-Indian Government, as an imperative duty, long before st took place. It was said by those who defended the policy of the East India Company, that any attempt to abolish the practice would be an act of dangerous interference with the religious rites of the natives of Hindostan, and might be productive of the most serious consequences. Even disaffection and revolt were predicted as the probable result of a measure having for its object the raving of hat. man life from superstitious torture and extermination. We have lived to see the Government, on whose behalf this groundless plea was advanced, refute it by their own act. That Government, by one decisive order—as we had the satisfaction, a short time ago, to announce—extinguished the burning piles of a cruel supersti tion, and, without endangering In the least the tranquillity of their dominions, saved the lives of thousands of human beings from idolatrous sacrifice ! Thus one great step has been taken to. wards the chilisation of British India, and a late reparation made to the violated rights of humanity. Though we cannot but deplore the amount of torture and of death that has been In. flitted in consequence of this step not having been earlier taken, yet we would not detract from the credit to which the present Adsainia. tration of India is entitled for having at length extirpated a barbs. rism not only revolting to reason and morality, but shocking to nature. We never could see that the burning of widows alive on the funeral piles of their husbands was necessary for the stability of our Indian emp re. The event has justified our anticipation; for the order declaring this horrible custom illegal met nowhere with the least resistance, although it is probable that for some short time the Brahmins o r Piiests, who profitted by those superstitious cruel. ties, will end e avo ur to evade the law; but, under the opsratioae of an efficient police, the practice of tying the living to the bodies of the dead, and consuming both to ashes, will cease to have any existence except in the records of the incredible atrocities that are generated by the fanatical debasement of mankind. But there is another sanguinary Indian superstition which bad its periodical offerings of human victims. It is the worship' of the idol Juggernaut —a WOlOllll truly demoniacal, and against the toleration of which, as far, at least, as the destruction of life is oncerned, we have hitherto protested in vain. It is a disgrace to India, it is a scandal to human nature, that this wooden penonifi cation of the Spirit of Evil should be allowed, at stated times, to make a disgusting and destructive peeress through the lands and roll his chariot-wheels in triumph over the crushed and mangled bodies of his frantic votaries. It is a worship like this this should be made sbbservient to the collection of a tribute by any civilised Government ? Yet a tribute 13 collected by a Christian Govern. EmaL.m.. went from the pilgrims who throng to mingle in the lode cent orgies around the ear of the idol, or to throw themselves beneath Its weeds! If that tribute be applied to repair the temples or to support the Priests of such a system, it makes the Government under whose authority it is collected fearfully re sponsible, before a higher tribunal than that of man, for the encou ragement of the hands and the cruelties which are practised , on an irant people by the Priests of this monstrous idolatry. We do now that the rulers of India have felt it their duty to put down the practice of Stale*, they will feel themselves equally bound to prohibit the sanguinary orgies of Juggernaut; and, in stead of collecting tribute to repair his temples, which are s tained with blood,level them to the earth;that the people may learn the im potency of the idol which their fears invest with the attributes of infer nal power. It was by such decided and energetic conduct that theßo man conquerors of Great Britain put down the cruel superstition of the Druids, who propitlated their demon-gods by burning men in wicker cages on their altars. The Romans had never been intolerant to other nations nn account of their religious belief, except where it violated the rights of humanity, sad became, instead of a speculative folly, an actual nuisance, which must be abated before a people could be in a situation to lawn the rudiments of civilisation. We speak of the Romans, of course, before the despotic excesses of the emperors changed the national character, for then, along with every other vice, they were taught that of religious persecution. The sup. prmsion of the human sacrifices of the Druids was, however, en. forced as a mere matter of police, for they knew that such abomi nations could not co.euist with the moral improvement or civilisa tion of the people, and therefore their intolerance of so cruel a system was in itself an act of mercy. We are glad to find, as we mentioned yesterday, that a notice was given at the India House, Wednesday last, of a motion relative to this subject for next quarter. day--and that Mr. Poynder intends to move a resolution in the court of proprietors, to the following effect :—" That this court, taking into consideration the direct encouragement afforded to idolatry, and also to the licentiousness and bloodshed connected with idolatrous observances, by the collection of tribute from the worshippers and pilgrims at the temples of Juggernaut, Gya, Allahabad, and else. where, both fox the repair of those temples and the maintenance of their Priests and attendants, recommends to the Honourable Court of Directors to take such measures as will have the effect of imme diately directing the attention of the Indian Government to this sub ject, and of eventually removing such a reproach from a Christian empire." It is indeed a reproach to a Christian empire that it en. courages a species of idolatry which a Pagan nation thought it a shame to tolerate 1 We hope Mr. Poynder will be successful in his laudable object, and then.by facilitate the civilisation of our eastern dependencies, and cleanse the land over which a British Government presides from the foul stain of idolatrous crimes. .~~~ - ALGIERS. OFFICIAL REPO FROM FROM ALGIERS. The following details relative to the operations of the expedition against Algiers have reached Govemment : Remt of Admiral Duperre to the Minister of the Marine. " On board La Provence, Bay of Torre Chia, June 14, 1830. " Monseipeux—Providence has favoured with complete success the first operations of the glorious enterprise ordained by his Ma. jesty. The king's flag waves on the fort of Sidi Ferruch and the tower of Tone Chico. The 10th inst. I left the Bay of Palms with the it under my command, which I succeeded in rallyingagain after ita having been dispersed Jsy bad weather, in sight of the coast of Africa, far the first time, en the 31st oh. I approached that coast spin on the 12th, in the morning, but strong easterly winds and a Ittzev t l er ess again obliged me to stand out to se a , k ee pi ng the flat . Yesterday ussening the wind was still fresh from the east, but the sea less agitated, and the weather fine. This first op. appeared of proving myself worthy of th e con fid ence o f hi s M a j esty favourable, and I embraced It. "At eight o'clock in the waning the fleet Iris off the town of Algiers; It sailed along the forts and batteries, the commander of the blockading squadron, accompanied by la Mons, leading the van of the naval farm, followed by the reserve and convoy, and at seven la the evening the fleet occupied the Bay of Torre Chico. The enemy bad evacuated the battery at the point and the fort of the by; but they bad conveyed its cannons and mortars to the neighbouring heights. Several cannon-bans and bomb-shells were fired upon the first line of vessels. A sailor was wounded on board the Breslow by a splinter.) I ordered Captain Leviers, with the steamer le Nwntr, to approach the beach; be caused a battery of one cannon and one mortar in the first line to be evacuated by the enemy. The day was too far pa* for landing, and hence preparations were made to effect It at day-break. La Bayonnak (corvette,) Captain Perris; the brig Acton, Cap.li H amelin ; and the brig Bodine, Captain Guindet—which had no troops to land, stationed themselves in the bay, to the eastward of Tone Chia, to take the batteries of the enemy in flank, and beat them or the peninsula. The steamers le Nageur, and Is Sphinx, Captain Sara, received orders to cover with their fire the landing:on the westward. At half-past bur this morning the first division of the army landed, with eight pieces of field artillery, under the fire of the enemy's batteries, which did little mischieL A seaman of the Surveillante had his leg carried away, and LinaL Dupont received a violent contusion from a spent ball. I have not received any other returns. The guns of the corvettes stational to the east of Tours Chita were well worked. and bad a good effect on the enemy's batteries. Two mikes jumped on shore, and hoisted t h e King's flag on the fort and tower. At six the second division, and the whole of the field artillery, were safely landed; at half- silt the Commander. in. Chief disembarked, and placed himself at the bead of the troops. He immediately executed a movement to turn the enemy's batteries, which were carried, after repeated attacks, spinet mules of sa valry. About twelve the whole ar was completely landed. It occupies the heights which are in advance of the peninsula, and head-quarters are established at Torre Chia. Ammunition, provisions, and stone, have been landed, and operations will be followed up with the utmost possible activity. The Bay of Torre Chia or Sidi Ferruch presents much better shelter for the fleet than I had ventured to antkipate. Though it is exposed to the winds from north-east to northwest, the anchorage must be very good, and the ships will ride there upon their chain cables. Eager to convey to your Excellency this first intelligence, I am unable to enter into further details, particularly as to the ope rations of the land forces, wide are not within my province. I shall collect, from the several reports made to me, such claims to the favour of his Majesty as may be acquired, and shall have the honour of submitting them to your Excellency. Generally speak ing, every one leas done his duty, and will feel too happy if the King should consider that the navy has shown itself worthy of his confi dence. Believe me, Sir, &e. Vice-Admiral, Commander-in. Chief of the Naval Forces, " DUPERRE." Report addressed by Oen. de Boorman to the Prince de Polle. Sidi-Ferruch, June 14. " Parxer,—.The naval armament that had been detained more than 18 days in the Bay of Palma, waiting for the landin g fl o till a , set sail on th e 10th. The wind, at first very light, became so that several small vessels sustained damage. Two cattle-boats and a part of their crews wen lost. On the 12th at day-break, l the coast of Africa was descried, but the increasing gale and a heavy sea rendered disembarkation almost impossible. The fleet stood out from the land for a short time, while light vessels were sent towards the peninsula of Sidi.Fenuch and the two, adjacent beaches. The certainty of firstling safe moorings, the shel ter afforded against the prevalent winds by the bearing and protec tion of the shore, and the nature of the coast, which, being entirely open to the me for an extent of four thousand metres, afforded no ambush or concealment for the enemy, had for a long time drawn our attention to that part of the coast as a favourable point for landing. The retrograde movement ceased on the 12th, at nine o'clock in the evening, when we made sail to the south. ward. During the night the agitation of the sea subsided, and on the 13th, at day-break, we were not more than two or three leagues from Algiers. The troops manifested the most lively jcL and cries of " Viva le Roi" resounded from every quarter. T fleet changed its sonthwardly course, sad ran parallel with the coast towards the peninsula ; the ships of war took the lead ; they were destined to attack the works which the enemy might have con. strutted on the point of disembarkation. The breeze now blow ing ftom the east, it was;decided to land on the west of Sidi. Petra& At ten in the morning the armed ships arrived of the peninsula, and found that the tower which stands there had been abandoned. The enemy had dismounted a bat tery of 12 cannon, the fire of which we had expected to receive. A camp was established at about a league from the shore. We per ceived in advance of it several batteries, and a pony of Arab horsemen. A steamer approached the shore, and soon dter these horsemen. The enemy's batteries sent a few balls and some shells towards the anchorage, but without egret. At eight in the evening, the three squadrons, the first division of the convoy, and the landing flotilla, had all come to anchor. Orders were issued for the disembarkation to commence at day-break on the 14th. Before five in the morning, the first di vision was on land, without meeting with the least resistance. The two other &visas disembarked in succession. Oen. Berthas= ad vanced with the first, and eight pieces of cannon. Soon after the enem's batteries opened their fire, and c ontin u ed to cannonade us, a lthough they weer battered in front by our field artillery, and taken in flank by the King's ships stadoned to the east of the peninsula. Gen. Benhenere received orders to turn the left of the enemy's position. This movement had the desired effect. The batteries were abandoned; thirties siztems-poundese and two mortars fell into our hands. The divisions Loverdo and d'Escars followed the movements of the int. At eleven the combat ceased, and the enemy Red in awl _direeden. Our so. diets displayed as much coolness as they bed ad irlortly down owthualasm. We have lost 20 men, bat a f t ea was wooded. The aspect of the lead in advanced the peninsula peeliedy WNW. with the dteeription given of It by Wood hearts; it le esady, sad 'ice slightly undulated ; strong bushes sower needy the whole of the surface. The peninsula is a calcareous rock, on which is reared a union (a Turkish convent,) to which the Spaniards have given the name of Terre Chica.

It was the intention of th e ship's company to have presented the captain with a sword, but the circumstance having come to his knowledge about ten days previous to the ship's paying off, Sir Richard ordered the crew aft, and gave them his reasons for declining it, on what we consider very judicious grounds, in the following address :—" I learnt yesterday, by mei deist, that it was the intention of the ship's company to present me with a avoid. As my feelings on this point are the result of the education I received on my first entrance into the service, I think it my duty to put you in possession of them. The first great principle I was taught, was never to join in, or coun tenance in any way, any deliberations having for their object the conduct of superiors; because, if idle right to meet and approve of the conduct of those above us is granted, we should have, and very soon claim an equal right to disapprove. Thaw pre. cepts, the foundation of an unreserved obedience, the very life and soul of the service, were, shortly after I had been taught them, brought into public notice, by an officer commanding a mgt. meat on the North American station, declining to accept a sword offered to hint by the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the regiment he was about to quit. The General Officer commend ing the forces, in a public order, concurred most fully in the opi aiol2ll expressed by the Colonel; and very shortly afterwards his late Majesty, in an order from the Horse Guards, conveyed to those UfiIMTS his Royal approbation of their conduct. You may rest assured, that it is for your interest and comfort that these maxims should be attended to; for if these tokens of approbs don from any class to those above them were to become common, hope a man of weak mind in command would, in th eof obtaining one, allow such a relaxation of discipline, that a man, whether soldier or tailor, would always have to do the sty of the bad, in addition to his own. If the system which I have followed in the ship has made you comfortable, I have been mere than repaid, by the flattering opinion of her condition expressed to me by Sir C. Ogle, in the last inspection at Bermuda; and I only hope, as the best return you can male me, that you will observe, in any ship Wn may join, the same orderly conduct you have pursued here.— e shall only be a few days longer together; let me request you all to keep yourselves sober—you have some heavy work before you —sobriety will lighten your labour, and afford me many hours of pleasant recollections."—Hampshire Telegraph.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Jose 21. 011111ECL The Earl of ABERDEEN laid on the table additional papas relating to Greece. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, as the noble Etrl hal placed on the table another series of papers relative to the Greek transaction, he was desirous of saying a few words. It was not his intention to move fur further documents. Several communication , front Mr. Stratford Canning to the noble earl and his predceoesor to the Foreign-office would have given great insight to the e tic affairs, but at this moment he felt that the coin-try was au in. tirely engaged in its internal concerns, that it would iii become him to move for papers. The time, however, would come shen he should have an opportunity of expressing what his impressions were on the diplomatic documents before the house. He knew it would he Pliably improper to press for papers at that time, but there were one or two questions which he wished the noble earl would nasw:t, because a direct answer would give rest satisfaction to a nuttb.s tel persons who deal in Greek Bonds. (Hear, hear.) The cold,• marquis then alluded to the Greek loan mentioned in the protocol of March 24, 1830. Tbc three powers secured, by means of gua rantee, a loan of 800,0001. to he applied to the support of Greek troops. On the 10th of May his Grace the Puke of Wellin,;tou wrote that he should deceive his Royal Highness Prince Leopold if he was to state to hint that Parliament would increase the luau ; hut it appeared, notwithstanding the declaration of March the 24.11, that the noble earl appin.nal to guarantee a loan of 250,0001. TI.. r: was a great inconsistency in departing from one sum to the crli.l, and be wished to ask the noble earl whether there was any thin.; not mentioned in the papers to justify the ch ange to which be al luded ? The noble marquis wished further to ask, whether it was understood that any part of the loan was to pay the loan raised for Greece, or the interest thereof ? The noble marquis knew there was a considerable deal of stock-jobbing in the Greek Bonds, and it was necessary his Majesty's government should state, wh e d ivt any pan of the intended Greek loan was to be appropriated to the payment of any part of the existing Greek loan. . The Earl of ABERDEEN agreed with the noble marquis that the time would conic when the question might be discussed, for he was quite aware of the inconvenience of partial discussions. Tito question upon the transaction to which the noble marquis advisted, he had no difficulty in answering ; the noble marquis was quite mice. taken in supposing there was any difference in the amount cf tile loan. The first sum guaranteed was 500,00 W. for the payment el troops supposed to be necessary to his Royal Highness, Prince Le opold's security in the new state. He had stated, on a former oc casion, that the persewctance of his Royal Highness in requiring a larger sum by way of loan, against the readiness of the allies to vote it, induced the government to guarantee 500,000/. In respect to the question of the noble marquis, as to the Greek loans, he had no hesitation in saying, his 3lajesty's government, when they con sented to guarantee the loan to his royal highness, had no sort of reference to any transaction connected with those loans to which the noble marquis alluded, but the specific objest was to raise a fund for the payment of troops for his royal highness. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY observed, that although the noble earl said there was no diffirrence respecting the loan, it was clear 500,0001 was guaranteed instead of 800,0001. He had proved by this question to the noble earl, that there was no intention on the pan of his Majesty's government to apply any part of the loan to ' the payment of the loan contracted by the Greek government. A statement would go forth to the public with advantage, namely, that the government would not engage in any speculative loans, but U a question came before Parliament for money in support of Greek independence, It would be advanced for the Greeks to maintain their troops. GALWAY FRANCHISE RILL.

Mr. O'CONNELL said, ever since he had been in that house, be had endeavoured to treat it • ith respect, and should continue to do so ; but he did not fed answerable to it for iris conduct out of the house. He bad desired to promote the benefit of Ireland first, and the good of the British Empire nest ; and be had accom plished for his country much. He however owed to the ministers on the part of Ireland, nothing, for the relict bill had worked good tor Ireland, in spite of them. What had they done respect. ins the subletting act ? Nothing. That was an act for thinning Ireland. He had advised the getting of gold fat paper, because he thought it was for the good of Ireland ; hut he did not feel an. minable to that house. As to that house, he owed it no revert; for how was it constituted ? Mr. DOHERTY expressed his astonishment at the conduct of the hon. member for Clare. Why had he not brought foreword those questions to which he had alluded out of the house ? There be might hate been answered ; but he had rot brought them for. ward.—(Hear.) The learned member now declared "war to the knife."—(Cheers.) That was the motive for his advice about taking gold for paper--advice to the poor that had very seriously aggro. vated the evils of the traders in that country—(rllcent) depreciating that property thiny and f. rty per cent.—(Hear, hear.) This " war to the knife" was like the maniac at the theatre, who deter. mined to spoil the manager's benefit; and, therefore, having Pre cured a snug and sure place for himself, called out—" Fre, fire !" whereby distress and ruin were produced. It was to defeat the Mi. nister, because the Minister did not choose to adopt the rectifies views of the honourable and learned member for Clare.—(Cheers,) That was not neglecting the interests of Ireland ; they had been patiently and laboriously attended to; and as to what the Lemurs. ble and learned member had done, after his various boastings, he had absolutely done nothing--d.oud cheers, and ales of " hear, bear.") General GROSVENOR said that the Catholic member for Clam had been properly called to account. Mr. 8. RICE spoke to order. The Relief Bill having passed, distinctions were at an end.—(Chess.) The BPRAKEH confirmed this statement.
