PARLIAMENI'ARY PROCEEDINGS. NOUSE OF LORDS, FRERUARY 7. This day their Lordships met at half-past three o'clock. The Duke of Bucirneteast took the oaths sod his seat, on his elevation, to the Dukedom. Lord Cowpox took the oaths and his seat, oa succeeding to the title. STATZ OF IRIMAND. The Ter/of LIVERPOOL rose, to give notice that he should, to-morrow, move.that the Standing Orders be suspended. The Marquis of LA NSDOW N, perceiving that the motion, of which the Noble Earl had given notice, contemplated some further increase of the powers vested in the Government of Ireland, wished to call their Lordships attention to the Papers which had been laid before them on the subject. Ile under stood from the Noble Earl, that the ground upon which addi tional powers were called for, was founded on a representation made to his Majesty's Ministers by the Government of Ireland, as to the insufficiency of the existing laws. In the Papers on their Lordship? table,lie found no such representations made, and he would say, that the strongest evidence ought to be ad duced in support of the necessity of the case before any new measures were adopted. He would, therefore, ask the Noble F.arl to produce any dispatch he might have received from the, Irish Government, which induced him to call for an increase of the existingilaws in that country. With the ozcoption of one solitary instance, the insurrection Act was tot even recognized in the documents in question, nor was there any opinion ex pressed by the Lord Lieutenant on the subject. He wished for the best evidence befcre he agreed to so violent an act as the suspension of their Standing Orders, and that for the introduc tion of violent legislative measures--( Hear, hear). The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that if an increase of power to the Irish Government should be approved of by the other branch of the Legislature, he doubted not but their Lordships would see sufficient cause to acquiesce in the measure. It could not be expected, according to the usual course, that the Govern ment of Ireland should state the precise grounds upon which 'they formed their opinions as to the necessity of the case; that opinion being once given, afforded sufficient grounds why their Lordships should entertain the question. It was clear that cer tain facts might be connected with the communication made by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to his Majesty's Government, which it would not be consistent to lay before Parliament. Ile had no wish to press the measure for any length of time beyond the necessity of the circumstances under which it originated. l'he whole question would come under the discussion of I'arlia ment in due time; but it was now obviously necessary to adopt some immediate measure to remove the immediate danger— ( Heat, hear). This was an indispensable duty to Ireland as well Is to the whole F.mpire. Lord ELLENBOROUGII thought it very strange that, while additional powers were called for, not a word was said as to the cause of the evil. This was not dealing fairly with those Noble Lords who, like himself, had no immediate connection with Ireland; and who, therefore, could nut know whether it might b' expedient to adopt harsh or conciliatory measures. It was also strange that the Yeomanry had not been called out in the South of Ireland, where the outrages had taken place, but in the North, which was represented to be as peaceable. Lord HOLLAND deprecated the course which had been put sued by tke Noble Earl opposite. The Noble Earl said that it was not usual, in such cases, to lay the grounds of the opinion before Parliament ; but he (Lord Holland) would say, that the grounds ought to be clear and manifest. From the outrages that had been committed' in Ireland, there was, un happily, too much reason to believe that additional force was necessary ; but, judging from the papers on their Lordship? table, he saw no grounds for giving any additional powers to the Executive. He, for one, would sooner agree to a measure assuming the character even of military law, than to the measure which he understood it was the Noble Earl's intention to pro pose. He insisted that all the explanatory documents that could be produced ought to be laid upon the table, before they agreed to place further powers in the hands of the Irish Govern ment twenty-two years after the Union—(heer, hear). Lord KING spoke briefly to the same effect. He could not conceive why the documents on which the Government of Ire land formed their opinion should not be laid before the House. Lord ELLENBOItOUGII could not but think it singular that notice should be given of the suspension of the Standing Orders, when their Lordships had as yet no Parliamentary knowledge of any Bill to be iutroduced as the immediate consequence. _ _ _ After a few other observations on the point of order between the LORD CIIANCELLOR, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and Lord Hoz.- LAND. their Lordships were ordered to be summoned fur to morrow ; and the House Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Smarm took the Chair at ten minutes to four o'clock. Mr. WILLIAM DUNDAS presented a Petition from the Magistrates of Edinburgh, complaining of the lax state of the pollee of that city. Mr. A BERCROMBY presented a similar Petition from the General Cummissianers of the Police of Edinburgh.—Doth re ferred to a Committee. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS gave notice, that on Thursday next he would move fur a Committee to inquire into the state of London Bridge.. _ _ _ Several new Members took the oaths. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved, " That an Address he pre sented to the King, praying that the evidence taken before the Connnissiorars, together with their Report upon the.state of 11. chester Jail, be Lid before the House." Mr. Alderman WOOD made a similar motion for the pro duction of the Report of the 'Magistrates of Somerset on the same subject.—Or.:ercd. Mr. DA WSON moved for an Address to his Majesty, pray ing him to order the last Report of the Vaccine Board to be laid before the House.—Ordered. Mr. LENNAHD gave notice, that he would, on the i".2.(1 inst. more an Address to the King, praying him to recommend to this House a revision of, and reduction in the several branches of the Civil List—(Mein.). Upon the motion of Mr. unor,DEN, the several Sessional Orders for the regulation of the business of the House wvre agreed to. Upon tl:e question, " That after the 22d of February t h is House will not receive any private petition," Mr. HUME observed, that it appeared to him the time li mited by this order for receiving petitions was unuivally and in cenveniently short. This urskr was made at a time that Par liament was used to meet in November or December, and was not adapted to the present time, when Parliament assembled at a much later season. The SPEAKER explained, that the time was not unusually I limited - . The practice had always been to limit the time fur receiving private Petitions to fourteen days after the meeting of Parliament. In this case a particular date had been fixed, only in order to remove all ambiguity, that the Public might be satisfied with regard to the last day for, presenting Petitions.— This was a standing order of the house, which the House was certainly at liberty to rescind :vhen it thought proper, but whilst It was unrepealed, he (the Speaker) had thought it his duty to regulate himself by it. Mr. LOCK ['ART said it was of importance that the time for receiving private Petitions should but be too limited, for this reason, that as all inclosures would he regulated in a great meat sure by the fate of the agricultural question in this house, it was unreasonabl: to bind them to a given time for bringing their Petitions here, until they had first ascertained whether they re. ceived any encouragement to improvement by the sups which this House v.ovid eventually take. The SPEAKER said he had is hesitation in saying that this order was rather a relief to the Petitioners than otherwise. It saved expense to the parties to fix a day, hut though the standing order forbade the receiving of private Petitions after a certain day, yet every Honourable Member knew that when a repre sentation was made of unavoidable delay having occurred, the house was constantly in the habit of receiving them after the time limited by this oider.---The order was then agreed to. It was also ordered, that no Piivate Bill be read a first time after the Itith of March neat, S AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. COKE said, he held in his hand a Petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the once flourishing County of Not folk, where Aviculture was once in a flourishing condition—where it was carried on with less_expensea n d where. mote Co r n was produced from poor landi.by - good management and good husbandry, than any other county he ever saw. It was with sorrow he was now called upon to say, that the state of agriculture in Norfolk at this day was in a heart-breaking condition, and to no one did its lamentable state speak with more force than to himself, who had spent his life, whilst at home, in endeavouring to better it, an d he last forty years that he was in Parliament in trying to promote its best interests—(Hear, hear).—lt was melancholy to see the state of age iculture at this time in Norfolk, and the general alarm which prevailed in consequences The Requisition for the Meeting whence this Petition close, was signed by the yeomanry of the County 'Zone; but a more respectable yeoman!) , were not Lei be found in any county. They were a class of men, and his Colleague knew the fact as well as himself, of whom, to his (Mr. Coke's) certain knowledge, thred out of five had been hitherto supporters of Govern ment, but who at length saw their error,. and came forward, reluctantly indeed, but impelled to it by im perative distress. It was a noble example they set to the rest of the country ; and he felt proud at repre senting a county which had been the first to come forward and state its grievances. That example had been already followed by some others, but he hoped it would be so *generally in a little time. The more the public voice was proclaimed, the more the cbject was promoted; the crisis required a union of acting; and such was the critical state of agriculture now, that; unless there was a union of the Gentlemen of landed property on both sides 81 the House to resist the measures of Government, the total de: struction of the agricultural interest altogether was to be apprehended—(Hear, hear, hear). — This Petition, and it was well drawn, prayed the House to adopt economy and retrenchment as the only means of giving relief under present circum stances. It stated what no one could deny, that to an overwhelming taxation all . our distresses were attributable. It prayed that the taxes upon malt, salt, leather, and other articles, might be 'directly reduced, which would give relief to the amount of five millions, without materially affecting the Revenue--(Hear, hear).—Reduction of taxation was 'the boon asked for upon all bands; but how asto nished must the kingdom be when they heard, and they bad heard it before this, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer declared in his place the other night, ' " that a reduction of taxation would be not only nuga tory, but mischievous; that the reduction of taxation, so far from affording relief would end in disappoint ment, and not only end in disappointment, but aggra• vate the distresses of the count: y"—•( Loud cries of " Hear l" front the Opposition).—Were the People of England, circumstanced as they now were, to be treated thus—were they, whilst groaning under diffi culties and distress, to be told by a hardhearted Administration — (Hear)—that they were to expect no relief, and that their Petitions were not to be at ter, ded to?—(Hear, hear, heti. ).-- Was this language to be 10. ne fi.cm a Minister of the Crown—fiom the House of Commons ? (hear).-I.e (Mr. Coke) cou'd have told the People that it was in vain to expect much relief from this House ; but he little expected to hear the same avowed publicly by his Majesty's Nllnis . ters ; for the People wet e still used to look to this House as to a land of promise, even constituted as it was—corrupt as it was—proP.igate as it wa.—s ( Loud cries rif " Order!" c 1.0; .11-r )—" Well," con. unwed Mr. Coke, " since it is known to be so" (Order, order!. Chair, cl.air ) The SPEAKER said, that the expressions used called upon him, however reluctantly, to interfere. Ile would be the last maa to interpose; but the lion. Member's own reflection would convince him, that the line of expression which he used towards this I louse, was such as lie must be indisposed to perse vere in —(hear, hear). Mr. COK E said he was ever ready to submit to the Chair; but standing there as he did, the Represen tative of the first county in the .kingdom, in which he had spent his. life, and to the interests of which he was much attached, he hoped. that some indul gence would he extended to.him for the warmth of his feelings. He was unwilling to use one unparlia mentary expression of this House; but, impelled by the duty which he owed his constituents, be was bound to say, though in other terms,. that no redress was to be expected by the People from this House, constituted as it now was. Having said this much, he begged leave to refer to the language of the iti-- tion,which was strcnger than anything he could say; and he called the attention of the House to those parts where retrenchment was recommended in every department of the public service. The Petitioners concluded by saying—" That it vas therefore their Becided conviction, that the corrupt and inefficient state of the Representation of the People was the true source of our distresses, arc!, until the People were more properly represented in Parliament, we could expect no adequate relief '—(Hear, hear, hear). And he was more them ever convinced ut the neces sity of Reform in this House, by what fell from the lion. Member for Kent, the other night, whom he now saw in his place. The present state of the House was perhaps well defended by that Hon. Member, who enjoyed a situation and large emoluments under the present system; but his description ut the !louse seemed but to confirm him (Mr.Colce) in the comfit ' tion that nothing was to be expected from this House :is it was now constituted—(!fear, hear).—'The lemused , 17 ,n r i c e oi t i i c h l i t , t a d r e i d ia b n y ie st n e t, i i i i i y n e a: l) k i m ng p i :i i B l4 4oiLit d )t l in to o v v iz t ig d that the Petition be now read.
