LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11. We are anxiously expecting the final result of the debates in the French Chambers on the Ad dress. It seems to have been artfully drawn up, so as to neutralize opposition ; but no executive can proceed in obnoxious policy, if an opposition ,s so strong as to render it necessary to coax and heedle supporters. Whatever, therefore, may be courteous votes on an Address, they will decide little as to the fate of an obnoxious minister. The Bourbons, of every branch, unused to govern in subservience to popular opinion, will hazard every thing to preserve an obsequious Ministry ; but the voice of all the liberal opinions in France and all Europe must prevail. The English, Irish and Scotch Papers, in sympathy with their readers, hare been intoxicated with joy at the prospect of the expulsion of the PEAIEII Ministry, not from personal dislike to the man, but from abhorrence of their liberticide policy—not because they desire Aar, far from it—but because they desire to see free France act as though it were the sincere ally liberal opinions. The fate of Europe, for des potism or for liberty, has been at the disposal of the French nation ; and the e xam pl e o f F rance , fol lowed by other nations, demanded the zealous fra ternity of France with those nations. The eman tlated French chose Loots-Patti/Iqt to protect their free institutions, and as such to foster them, "ot to play the Bourbon, and proscribe all those par ties who fought in the three days,and who still sought the full play of their principles. The Dutch war will effect nothing for M. PZRIER-it has no na tional object, and being avowedly to abet a policy common to the Holy Alliance, it has no affinity with liberty, except by its indirect support of the Belgic institutions, which never was the primary object of the Holy Alliance. It is difficult to imagine the reasons why Irish Members forbear to bring the entire state of Ire land before Parliament, with a view to a committee and remedies. Every thing seems to be out of course in regard to that country ; and all moral, political, and social feelings somehow to be turned topsy-turvy. Perhaps there is no other country in the world where one portion of the population would entertain such disgusting and blood-thirsty sentiments in regard to another portion, as were expressed by the fiend-like toasts of grand jurymen and magistrates at Carlow ! Seldom have law and jurisprndence been so compromised as at Wexford and Mullingar,—and so miscon ceived, as at Kilkenny ! Seldom, in the history of civil government were reason and justice put more in the wrong! Then the whole polity of the country—famine in large divisions, and fleets of provisions leaving the ports for other parts,—affords a picture of society bad without example, and which, if drawn by a writer of romance, would be considered as the work of a disordered imagina tion. All this, too, under the administration of a Grey, Brougham, Althorp, Durham, Holland, Russell, &c. ! To us, and to all the work!, the entire circumstance is utterly incomprehensible. If we were superstitious, we should imagine that some terrible fate hung over the Empire, and that Ireland is destined to be the cause of the first blow. The late bill emancipated the Catholics, but ap parently to render the Protestants malignantly in tolerant. Now we say all this merely because we think the remedies are so easy. Follow up to pu niehment all assassinations ; introduce poor laws, and assess non-resident's property double, foreign absentees triple, also large farms double and triple. Repeal the subletting act, dismiu the present yeomanry, moderate and modify the tythe system, and change most of the magistracy and some of the judges ! Ireland would then, in twelve months, be the most useful portion of the empire, and it could not fail to be also the happiest country in the world. It is not to be dissembled that the mere chances of detection and punishment are insufficient to put an end to those manifest symptoms of deep dis content which lead to the vengeful crime of set ting fire to farm-houses and buildings. Every day's arrivals of provincial papers record fresh in stances in every direction ; and some papers often record five or six several such fires in single districts. Is it PRIDE, or what is it, that pre vents due enquiry into the CAusEs, that by removing them, the direful effects may cease ? A country life, once so peaceful, and passed in such confidence and security, has now for the last twelve months been one of watching and anxiety, and the alarms and devastations of last winter, we are deeply sorry to say, seem again to be threatened in the ensuing long nights. Every inhabitant of a farm-house will thank us for calling the atten tion Of PARLIAMENT to the subject; but if our notice is unavailing, it seems then to be the duty of suffering parties to petition for attention. Incendiarism is one of those capital crimes which punishment cannot effectually prevent ; and even conscience, the usual check on secret offences, ceases to operate, if feelings of wrong or resentment exist, which are paramount to its operation. History is useless, if it has not taught our Statesmen that the only sure means of allaying popular discontent, is to enquire into the causes, and then, with good faith, to remove them. In the HOUSE or Coal mops last night, two other petitions were presented against molasses in distillation, a conduct in which we do not sympa thise ; for our West India interests merit protec tion, and our population require the use of land at home. To use molasses instead of barley, is to set free the land employed in Imlay for other de sirable purposes, or to lower the price of barley for the preferable purpose of making wholesome malt liquor for the enjoyment of the people. A new writ for Carmarthenshire was ordered, accompanied with censure on the Sheriff. Sir A. J. DALRYMPLE was declared the Silting Member for Jedburgh, instead of Mr. STUART, who was censured for the forcible abduction of a delegate. The all-important and urgent subject of Ireland was brought before the House by Mr. Baowx- LOW, is a petition from the ROMAN CATHOLIC HISHOIPS of Ireland. It exactly accords with our sentiments written above, and often ex pressed, and demands Poor Laws or other efficient measures. Mr. Baowx Low, with great eloquence and feeling, and as a landed pro prietor, urged the adoption of Poor Laws.-- CoL. Cox w ELL? stated that the value of all landed property in Ireland would be increased by Poor Laws. Mr. Baowx spoke of modified poor laws, and would support such as the means of catching blood-suckers. Mr. SA DUNI also recommended a well-modd poor laws, but these modifications ought to be explained, and are as equivocal as modified plans of reform, affording modifications of eternal sophistry. Mr. CnaMrT9w for Aimee(/' was DOI averse to SOW system of Poor Laws. Mr. GZATTAN pointedly complained that no Minister of the Crown was present, and expressed a hope that the Protestant Bishops would follow the example of the Catholic. Mr. O'Con w um. followed, in thoughts that breathed, and words that burned. He said the present Administration had done NOTHIWG for Ireland. The Secretary boasted of labouring nine hours a day, but for no benefit to Ireland ; and the Ministry boasted of good intentions ; but a Dutch proverb stated that "Hell was paved with good in tentimu." He had expected much from the present promising Administration, but they had performed nothing (while justice was refused, and murders committed with impunity), except to forward a Bill to expend vast sums in building Churches. Mr. COUaTBNAY approved of a properly ar ranged system of Poor Laws. Colonel TORREWS, author of works on Political Economy, thought the remedy for Ireland was agricultural improvement, which in his view con sisted in consolidating small farms with large ones ! But, said he, the effect would be to increase the superabundant population ; and then the remedy would be to transport the surplus to the colonies ! So much for the science of political economy! Mr. CRAMPTON expressed fresh doubts, and defended his friends, the Ministers. Lord Moa- PETH quoted petitions from Yorkshire in favour of Irish Poor Laws. Mr. Hum a, with his usual perspicacity, ex posed the idle professions of the Ministry. He would rather see one uct than hear all their profes sions. They were a promising government, not a performing one. He enlarged on the gross abuses and partiality of justice, and on the arming of in furiated men who put their fellow-subjects to death. Lord MILTON ascribed the evils of Ireland to the misgovernment of ages, not of the present ministry ; and he spoke of the amendments always necessary in the English poor laws as a reason for not giving them to Ireland. He forgot however to state that the amendments have been aristo cratic variations of the law of ELIZABETH, which therefore have required law on law to amend and enforce them. Mr. NORTH advised a well digested system of Poor Laws for Ireland. Mr. RUTH YEN and Mr.WirsE approved of Poor Laws, and complained of the neglect of Ireland. Mr. WYNNE and Col. PERCIVAL applauded the Yeomanry, the Registry of Arms Rill, &c. &c, Major M•CIAMARA ascribed the disturbances in Clare to there being one law for the poor, and ano ther for the rich ; and to attempts to impose Pro test Education on Catholic children. Mr. Sutes advocated a poor-law system, and complained of the abuses of justice. Lord DI.INCA N NON stated that the Catholics at Kilkenny had been excluded from the Jury. Mr. O'Cow x att. retorted that the present was a promising, not a performing government ; and stated, that in Ireland all the links of society were dissolved, a condition which could not stand still. He complained of the administration of justice at Wexford and Kilkenny. Mr. CRAMPTON defended the Government and the ATTORNEY Gas ERAL of Ireland. Mr. H uma called on Government to take some decided steps. Common sense would ask, why not send a pardon to Kilkenny and indemnify the parties ? Mr. STANLEY having taken his seat, denied general charges, and called for specific charges, extolling the Marquis of MeGLESEY'S undoubted good intentions. Mr. HUNT expressed his astonishment that Mr. Stanley had not said one word on the subject before the House, Poor Laws for Ireland, which would reach Earl Fitswilliam, the Duke of Devon shire, the Marquess of Lansdown, and the Earl of Egremont. Why not adopt the Poor Lags ? Mr. Sum. impeached the Juries, and Mr. S. Rica defended them. Sir R. PEIL thought these daily discussions useless and mischievous, and advised the appoint ment of a Committee of inquiry. Lord A Lilt° itP then assumed that the Committee was to revise a judicial proceeding, which he thought improper. Rut Sir R. PEEL explained his Lordship's mistake. Mr. Baowx Low then repelled the observations of Lord MILTON about charitable feelings being to be preferred to Poor Law.; and he stated that of £BO,OOO lately collected, only £BO had been given by absentees ! Mr. ()Tone ELL said Ministers might assume a haughty tone, but eight lives had been lost at Cas tlepollard, and not a Policeman removed. Mr. STANLEY boasted that they had been removed toanother county— and retained, said Mr. O'CoN it ELL, to shoot more of the KING'S subjects. Mr. WAYLAND thought the prosperity of Eng land arose from the poor laws; and Mr. SA DLE It said the time was come when Government ought to act. In answer to a question of Mr. BIUSCOE, Lord ALTHORP denied that any order had been sent to liberate the slaves at Berbice. In the RZIOIIIII COMMITTEE, Schedule F, which allocates smaller or adjacent places to 11 shire towns or boroughs in Wales for one member each, was passed, with one division, reasonably called for, about Cardiff and Merthyr Tydvil, of 164 to 123. They are 25 miles asunder The Stb Clause, relative to returning officers, was then adopted ; sad the 9th, about the right of voting in counties, was thew discussed, and six members were assigned to Yorkshire, two fot each Riding; the discussion on four for Lincolnshit was postponed. Ministers deserve commendatio about the Reform Bill—and on the other points we refer them to the House of Commons. i This day, at one o'clock, the Committee dCoro-1 nation Claims met at the Council Chamber, White hall. There were present their Royal Highnesses' the Dukes of GLOUCESTER and Sumlik x. the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Duke of RICH MOND, FArl GREY, Earl Of ALBEMARLE, Earl of CARLISLE, Lord DuanAm, Lord Gonciticn, Lord MELBOURNE, Sir JAMES GRAHAM.

Ou Tuesday the discussion upon the address will take place in the Chamber of Deputies. The :'harnber of Peers will meet on Wednesday for a purpose. The committee appointed to •onsider the address met to-day (Sunday). It is that the Preident of the Council, ac , ~,igianied by M. Sebastiani, went there at two j • e ! u ek, and remained until five in the evening. I t a ppears that verbal and written observations „ad been addressed to the President of the Council, ).A• some of the members of the Committee, rah a view of giving rise to lengthy explanations. According to a current report the President of the Council looked angry upon hearing that the ad dress drawn up by M. Etienne had been unani mously adopted. What ! (observed the President) Lan that which suits M. Dupin's ideas meet with the approbation of M. Dupont (de l'Eure) ? In point of fact M. Etienne deserves great praise for having conciliated those two deputies, whom, however, several members of the Chamber chose foi. Vice-presidents upon the same list. The fol lowing is the analysis of the address: lc, The Chamber of Peers replies to that phrase of the diecourse, that the Charter Is now a truth; It presents to the King the assurance of its devotion and its concurrence. 2nd, It will contribute to develop the consequences of the Charter. It is necessary that order should not be troubled, neither by the partisans of the fallen dynasty, nor by the fa. tours of the republic. 3rd. The Chamber will discuss with attention and calm. n " s the question of the Peerage reserved to the examination of the Chambers. It will not bring in any personal in. term, and will only consult the interest of the Throne and France. 45, The Chamber hopes that soon will end the con. traint and depression of commerce—a depression which the ;hole of Europe supports with France. Wise negotiations mar put an end to it. sth. Austria has evacuated the Roman States; an am nestv ameliorations, the abolition of confiscation, promises t.' that country and Europe tranquillity. 0. Belgium has been recognised, and its indeperdenee ;uaranteed by the powers. A French army has marched to defend that country, which demanded succours from France. The Chamber applauds the promptitude of that intervention, and the activity with which it has replied to the urgency of rnaktnir the conventions respected which are taken in corn. -on accord by the powers. The Chamber does not reply to t'at which was announced upon the demolition of the strong -we.. The late events will justify its silence.

MOSTETIIIIN STORM GOWER, rola ARSOII.—Mr. S. S. Gower, a farmer, was indiceil for feloniously setting fire, on the 2d of Aug .st, 1830, to certain premises called Portly Farm, at Catterham. Surrey, the property of • harks Day, which the prisoner ncettpi , d as tenant. Win. Punk/ Simp son, examined by Mr. Ryland lives in Old Butlingsni. stn-et, London, and has a farm at Catterhant, Surrey ; ha , been steward to Mr. C. Rey, the owner of Portly Howe Farm, at Catterhatti, for twelve years ; the prisoner occupied that faint in 1830 ; it consisted o f 365 ac res , r e nt 2 iOl. per annum, and 2nl. additional for co cages ; in 1830, a distress was put into the premises by order of the land lord, Mr. Day ; a year and a halt's rent, amounting to 3801. was then due ; Mr. Day had not insured the premises. This was a very completely got up case, anal many wit. messes proved various corroborative circuinsances. The prisoner put in a very long written defence, which was read by the clerk of the arraigns. It eo tered into a complete explanation of his affairs, whi e con. netted with the farm at Catierham, and described the evi dence of Borer as a wicked invention on his part with a sky to obtain the reward which had been offered, and which evi dence remained unsupported by the testimony of arty other single witness, The prisoner explained the loss he had sus. tained by the calamity, and he complaine.l of the treatment of the magistrates at Catterhani, before whom he was exa mined on this charge, and committed for trial. He had been four months in gaol on a capital charge, of the commission of which he was innocent. Hut a man who was a convicted felon, and had been a thief between twenty and thirty years— who admitted he had robbed him on the night in quaxion— had sworn that he saw him (prisoner) do the act charged in the indictment, and the Magistrates refused to allow him to bring witnesses before them to refute so infamous a charge. He asked them only fur a day; but no; they could not conveniently spare time to attend another examination, and he was sent off to a gaol for four monrhs, upon a charge which was not sustained by evidence upon which any ra tional being would hang a dog. Mr. Church, solicitor, of Spital-square—Had known pri soner 18 years, and considered him honest and humane had heard him speak of Mr. Day with the greatest kindness, and did not believe he would do any siting to injure Mr. Dap Mr. Thomas, solicitor, of Fenchurch-street, gave similar evidence. Mr. Sykes. proprietor of the Catharine-wheel, Bishop,- gate-street r, Had known prisoner for twenty years, and considered him to be a man of excellent character; em ployed prisoner, after his bankruptcy, on his . state as super intendent, at Hare street, near Rtntord, and would take him again into Isis service. Mr. Clarke, tif Carey-street, Lincoln's-Inn-fields Knew the prisoner to be a most humane man. anal that he bad kept Borer and his family front starvation, when no one would assist them.
