M. WALLER CLIFTON. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. Committee Room, 37, Cornhill, 24th Jane, 1831. rrHE IRISH DISTRESS COMMITEE, in -L publishing their Thinl Monthly Report—deem it expedient to rate, that instead of endeavoutteg to regulate their proceedings by conflicting opinions, or to reconcile contradictory advice—they have thought it most advanta geous to the cause in which they have engaged, calmly and eesolutely to persevere in the line of conduct that has won for them the confidence and support of a liberal public. The Committee subjoin a plain :interment of their Re. eeipts and Expenditures—by which it will be seen that in accordance with the stipulations of many Contributors, the principal portion of the subscriptions has been expended in provisions, and shipped from the most convenient and cheap est ports for the distressed districts—the remainder has been applied on the spot to the purchase of food—which is ob tained by tender and sample—and, when delivered, paid for by hills on the Treasurers in London, drawn in favour of ule actual sellers ; so that the money can be expended for no other purpose than that of proem ing food for the famish. in . ; people. The distribution of the supplies is entrusted to no single individual, but to conimittea composed of the resident Clergy and Gentry of every religious denomina tion. and constant proof is afforded that they fulfil their duty with zeal and impartiality. The balance of this mouth's .tecount will chew that the Committee, in their anxiety to step the career of starvation and fever, have, with the kind permission of their Bankers, somewhat anticipated their tunds, and they place a firm reliance on the exertions of their friends to supply the temporary deficiency. The Committee have the consolation to state, that their efforts to afford relief and mitigate the sufferings of the poor people have been eminently useful; and the eke' ing fact is before them, that the united exertions of the benevo lent during another month will crown their labours with success, and draw down on them the blessings and thanks of thousands of their fellow creatures, whom, under Provi. dcnee, they will have rescued from the ravages of famine and disease. Subscriptions received by all Bankers In Town and Conn. tr; ; by Ales..ra. HATCHARD and Sox, Piccadilly ; by Itletars.

The Marquis of S.i 'ASBURY postponed his motion re lative to the poor laws till Thursday next. The Marquis of DOW NSH DIE presented a petition front Newry, pray i lig for the introduction of the poor laws into Ireland. The noble marquis said, that when a matured system of poor laws for Ireland was brought forward it should hav,: his unqualified support; at present he consi dered any steps which had been taken on that subject to be exceedingly crude. The petition was read and laid on the table. IaZIPORW RILL. The Marquis of LONDONDRRRY said he bad several petitions to present krainst the Reform Hill in the ether' House of Parliament ; but not seeing a noble Earl ((trey) in his place, he should defer presenting them until Thursday, when he should make such observations as occurred to him on the subject. TRUCK STSTRIId. __ _ _ Lord SHELDIERSDALE presented a petition from a numerous body of workmen and others, at Wigan, Lan cashire. against the Truck 'plum. Also r similar petition from 700 persons, called monerlaying masters, in Great Bolton. he petitioners described the practice of paying wages in goods to be destructive of trade and unjust to the workmen.—Bath petitions were read and laid on the table. Lord WHARNCLIFFE laid on the table two bars on the subject of paying wages to workmen. One bill was nearly the same as that introduced to the Commons by an hon. friend of his last session, and in bringing it forward he only acted in concurrence with that honourable friend, and the resolutions of the House of Commons. He should not trouble the House with the details until the second reading. —The bills were read a first time, and ordered to be printed. Viscount NIELBOURNB brought in a bill to regulate the office of Lord Lieutenants of counties, and moved it be read the first time. The Duke of WELLINGTON asked whether the noble Viscount intended in that stage of the bill to give any expla nation of the principle ? Viscount MELBOURNE, in compliance with the pra.2- tice of the House, deferred a statement of the details of the measure vigil the second rending. Toe Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked whether the provisions of the bill would interfere wish the duties 6f the office of cumin mtulorum in Ireland ? Viscount 3IELBOU LINE said it would not interfere with the duties of that office in Ireland. THE POOPAR PETITION. The Duke of BUCe LEUGH presented a petition from the noblemen, freeholders, and heritors of the county of Forfar, against the reform bill, Lord DUNCAN did not rise to oppose the petition, but Paving a knowledge of the proceedings which took place be. fore the petition was got up, he felt desirous of giving some explanation. In May last, a requisition was signed for a meeting in the county of Forfar, on the subject of re form. At that meeting, resolutions were proposed which had since been embodied in the petition presented by the noble duke. The meeting was held, remarkably enough, the day before that fixed for the election—and the noble lord wasof opinion that the object was to prevent the return of the gentleman now sitting in the House of Commons. There was present at the meeting eighty-four persona. The house i would remember that county meet:ngs in Scotland were select,' but not numerous. To the resolutions adverse to the re form bill he (Lord Duncan) moved an amendment approving of the whole Bill, and thanking his Majesty's Ministers for what they had done. That amendment was carried by 60 against 24, a majority of 36. That being the state of the case, lie could not call the petition presented by the Noble Duke the petition of the county of Forfar (hear, hear) but the petition of a few individuals who were outvoted. Those ' individuals had first attempted to get the sanction of the county, and failing in that scheme they came forward with the petition presented by the Noble Duke. He was proud to say the county of Forfar stood distinguished in Scotland for having voted in favour of the Bill. The Noble Lord could not avoid saying a few words on the subject of violence and improper language said to have occurred at elections in Scotland. He could say those election irregularities had been exaggerated. Those who read of sanguinary feelings and revolutionary expressions might suppose the people of Scotland were on the eve of revolution. No such thing. Their only plan was to pass the Reform Bill, and support his Majesty's Alinisters with a view to the accomplishment of that object. •He was sure they would endeavour to get the Bill passed, and they certainly had an undoubted right to exercise their partiality for a measure which they con sidered would be beneficial to the country at large. The Duke of BUCCLEUGH said it was not the petition of the county of Forfar, but of 46 persons in the county. It did not purport to be the petition orthe county. :he Noble Duke, on the subject of violence at elections, alluded to placard which attacked the anti.reformers as being opposed to the King, his Majesty's Ministers, and the Reform bill. The Earl of HA DDINGTON thought his Noble Friend should point out instances in which the election violence in Scotland had been exaggerated. He had no doubt the elec. tions in Scotland had displayed a spirit of violence. In Dumbartonshire and Ayrshire scenes had occurred which could not be exaggerated. The Noble Earl admitted that the people of Scotland had a constitutional right to support any measure which they might consider advantageous, but it must be by legal and constitutional proceedings. Lord BELHAVEN said, the account of violence at an election In Scotland, which he had witnessed, he knew to be exaggerated. The petition was then laid on the table. The House soon after adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The LORD ADVOCATE, OiTti;e — Srzairrit taking the chair, said he had to mention that there had been an undue return respecting Mr. Vere, the member for Newport, in the Isle of Wight. He was returned as John Joseph Hope Vere, whereas his name wu James Joseph Hope Vere. The SPEAKER mid, all tl'e house wanted was evidence of the identity of the party. If that were established, all there would be to do was to amend the return. --- ------ The LORD ADVOCATE said, be could bear testimony to the fact. The SPEAKER replied, as that was the case, the only thing that was required was to desire the Clerk of tl,e Crown Office to rtend. Mr. HUNT presented a Petition from the National Union Association, complaining of the Castlereagh Acts. Mr. POYNDER read an extract from the " Poor Man's Guardian" of Saturday last, which condemned Kings, Lords, and Church, and avowed his determination to resist the acts. The Honourable Member wondered that the writer (Mr. Hetherington) had not been prosecuted for blasphemy sod sedition. He also read an extract from the " Republican," a work by the same author. Mr. HUME said that the publication* read by the bun. gentlemen had befrre been read Sy one or two hundred; but after the publicity given to it by the hon. gentleman It would be read by many thousunds. (Hear. hear.) Did the hon. gentleman know that the laws on which he now calla .on the government to prosecute, were condemned by all his '_Majesty's present Ministers when they were passed; and be did not think they would be in effice one month before all those Acts would be repealed. The Acta were passed against the liberty of the people after the massacre of Man. • cheater ; and it was surprtsitig that they were so long allowed 'to disgrace the Statute Hook. The day wail gone by when ',the honourable gentleman could have ignorance for his sup porters. If the honourable gentleman would read the de. bates when those bills werepassed he would probably form a better Opinion on the subject than he appeued . at present to entertain. What should be the object of all discussion but to elicit truth ? If all restrictions on publications ware removed, then every erroneous opinion might be answered and refuted. The Duke of Wellington's Administration . 'had not 'disgraced itself by any prosecution against those small publications under the Six Acts. He held hi his hand much worse publications than the hon. member had read, but 1.. could not be the n taus of spreading the polsei t ' by reading them in that ho us e. (H ear , hear.) There were at this moment 32 illegal small publications, many of which contained excellent advice to the working people—som o them undoubtedly bad ; but the reason they w.r not an - awned was because no onecould reply without subject *ng im • self to the lash of the law. He and others had been atta lee I for attempting to repeal the Combination lA's; they wishe I to set up a small publication to answer the c!igarges mad, against them. ,They took the opinion of Mr. Tyrilal, the Solicitor-general, on the aubjest, and that op niun was. that they should tiolate the six Acts if they del to. When Carlile was prosecuted, one of his publications increased its circulation from 1,000 to 20,000. Af et he was libeiated the sale of his publications so fell off that he was in a state of distress. Lately e government prosecution was instituted against him. Some gentlemen made a representation to go: vernment on the subject, for the purpose of preventing it. Carlile heard of it, and wrote to them in a rage at their hi air ference. The prosecution went on,and the jury wete vatted i. - to a verdict of guilty. Mr. Carlile's publications imaeiseel in sale tenfold, and had gone on increasing ever since ; and .:n a 1- nuity of 501. a-year was settled on him, and a sin.i'at one on h's wife. Charlns the Tenth attempted to pot dawn the liberty of the Press by an ordonnance; the House of Corn. mons attempted to put it down by those A.t.. It it was glorious for the French people to drive tit.: K ng from his throne, then wouldit be glorious for the p opl: et' England to drive the Six Ake from the statute bsok. I • the Ga. vernment put the Editor of the Poor 3f.th's Guar .ian in prison, there was another ready to take his plav ; and the same would be the use every day in the year • so that it wan qu t: impossibie to prevent such pu'ilicatiot slayi prosecution. and he was glad of it. Mr. TREVOR said it was owing to the licentious' ess of the press that die prisms were ailed with oilet.dera, and he ' should be sow tout any of the reeteictions by _ehicli it wa. protested removed. Sir F. BURDETT thought the act' complained of ought to be immediately repealed He thought the retaining the Six Acts could never be productive of any good. He thought the publication read could mile excite disgust, and believed it to be an invention of the enemy to endeavour to cast ob loquy on the popular cause. He read some of the small publications with great sailsfactioa, and tholigi,t it was a matter of great importance that the subject slotted speedily be brought before the house, and every restriction re.ntat d ; though he could not think it right to bring thrword the Iwo ject till the all-absorbing question was happily dtspreed ot. Mr. O'CONNELL thought the writer of the publication which had been quoted courted proSecutien, hut Itopcil the Attorney-Ueneral would have too much good senac to in dulge.: hint : (hear.) No opinion was put down :at ruse cotton ; it always broke out again with increased energy. In America the press was perfectly free. and the eons:quo. e 1 was there were no blasphemous publications. The nod e taken of the Poor Alan a Guardian. would make the pot r man that published it a rich man : (hear hear.) Alt. C. WYNN said the argum e nt used would g' to the extent of saying, that no incitement to crime published through the press should be prosecuted. The ATTORkEY-GENERAL •aid, there had been a very sparing exercise of the power of government in prose cuting libellous publication& There bad been no exo flieio prosecution. and but two prosecutions instituted, and cer tainly no government could give up the right of prosecwing publitations inciting to crime; hut that was a power which shou:d he exercised with the greatest d ocretion. He believed the libels alluded to had been confined to the knowledge of a very few, and it was better to leave them to public disease than give them publicity by pros. cution ; but if they could be put down by a stamp act, lie thought it'anse:f fully jiesti. fled in resorting to that act fur their oupprtssior. He should not enter into the question more itarticuLarly at p cure, es there was a prosecution now pending which would be cond. mull. He was quite sure that many anonymous I.tters we e sent to him fur the purpose of provok Mg him to give diem the puff of a prosecution. Sir R. PEEL was sure the house must have heard stilt great satisfaction the hon. and learned genth man condemn publications instigating to the commission of crime, which deserved to be prosecuted ; and he perfectly agreed that such prosecutions should be entered on with great caution. It aal lOW painful to appear to connive at Mr. fertile's publiea• Lions; but he thought that better than nerretual prosecu tion. The hon. hart. (Sir F. Burdett) supposed that other persons were at the bottom of these pubticatiors; in the seine way it was said, when wirdoes were b oken, that hey were broken by other persons than those whom the pubis supposed. Tate hon. member for Middlesex sal the se's on die statute book were the came se the ordannances issued by the late King of France ; but he only preposed the safe node of redress, by driving them from the statute book. Mr. HUNT rose to ropy .—(Cries art •• 0.1 ! oh !" and coughing became very genets%) He should wait with con. siderable patience till it was the pleasure of the house to hear Lint. The Hon. Member for Illiddle•ex was nut quite so wise as the Hon. Member for Tamworth coed wish the House to believe. It was true the House of Commons had agreed to the Six Acts, but the Reform Bib declared the truth, that they were passes by a tioroughmongere Perla ment. If no other Member did it, he would move for the Repeal of the Acts before the end of the present Session. Sir R. PEE!, said, if, on the Ilon.urable Gentleman's return (rpm the House, an assault was committed ea his person, or a farthing was taken front his rocket, he would not suffer without complaint, because the Acts to punish assault and theft were passed by ;.Borough. Parliament. Sir. 11UNT said lie always understood that assault sad theft were punished by common law.—(A general laugh.) Sir 11. PEEL presented a petition from British subject, Hoiden at Canton, praying for the protectiou of their po rous and properties, from the Chinese autheri les, and that a British resident should be kept at the t ours of the Emu reror of China. . Mr. )P t.ROVSON said he should not oppae any atamipt to conciliate China, but he believed it would be o billref of great difficulty. Mr. C. GRANT thought the petition was entitled to pcattlar attention, and he was confident it would receive it.—(Hear, hear.) . Sir GEORGE STAL'N I'ON made a few re.rarks which were inaudible in the Gallery. Sir J AMES MACINTOSH defended the tenor of the petition, and said, that any inaccuracies it contained ought to be overlooked in consideration of the importance of its object. Sir. W MIT MORE said that he was convinced great ad. vantage would be derived from a perscn being delegated as resident Consul appointed by Government authority. Mr. ASTELL hoped that tee question would not in this way be discussed piecemeal, nor be brought before the House incidentally, but that it would in proper time be dis cussed with that care which its importance intitled it to. Mr. EWART was not of opinion that the approbation of the East India Company should be held of so much im portance in the consideration of the question as some hon. members would seem to infer. He approved of the soggier lion of a resident Consul being appointed. He alluded to the evidence that had been produced before a former Com mittee, and aided that from that it was evident that the commerce of Britain was capable of being eery mach ex tended in the East. Mr. BARING coesldered that any attempt to destay the alleged monopoly would be followed by some great miceir. tune, if indiscriminate adventure's were permitted to enter that country, which would before long call upon the Ilt.uso fir some other remedial measure ; some distinctive p:ov'. si n might be made for :brewing open one department of the in do, uhieh was rot profitable to, nor was it canied on by, the East India Company, and which be (Mr. Baring) knew was capable of being profitably pursued by Individuals. Mr. WARBURTON thought, that if this country would o the utmost encourage smuggling by individuals, that it w.uld ultimately lead to the throwing open of that tam n.erce to individuals which was at present monepolistd by a pow. 'fel company. Mr. STEWART %WORTLEY thought discussion in this menisci would be much better deferred in the present state of the question. Sir C. FORBES spoke in opposition to the petition, and gave it as his opinion that no alteration of our laws could protect those residing in Canton from the causes of complaint se: forth in the pe.ition. The petition was ordered to be laid 00 the table. TiaDE WITh CIIIIIA. Mr. C.
