Joinisrorm AND OrHama, Appellants; PUILLIPS, Respondent. This was an appeal from the Court of Session, Scotland. The Arroartee-Gestem. was heard for the appellant.—Further hearing postponed. Lord GIANVILLC Sometime and others brought up several Private Bilk from the Commons, which were read a first time. Mr. BAST, from the Bank, presented an Account of the periods at which the Charter of the Kink of England had been renewed or extended, from 1782 till 1822.—Laid on the table. Mr. TOMwNS, from the Treasury, presented copies of all the correspondence which has passed between his Majesty's Go vernment and the Governor and Company of the Bank of Eng land, relative to the renewal of their Charter.—Laid on the table, and, on the motion of the Earl of Ix/saran, ordered to be ?Tinted. Ti*, Farl of COVENTRY presented a Petition from the Mayor, Magistrates, Clergy, and other Inhabitants of Worcester and its vicinity, praying for a revision of the Criminal Code, and observed, that the humane sentiments it contained coincided perfectly with his own.—Laid on the table. _ _ The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, pursuant to the Order of the House, presented Returns of all the Commitments and Convic tions which have taken place in those parts of Ireland where the Insurrection Act had been put in force.—Laid on the table. The Scotch Creditors Bill, the Scotch Malt Duties, and the Irish Unen Bounty Bills were read a third time and passed. Lord SU F FIELD presented Petitions from several Hundreds in the County of Norfolk, praying for relief, for the repeal of taxes, and for Parliamentary Reform.—. Laid on the table. ard CA LTHORPE presented several Petitions from some Owners and Occupiers of Land in the Western Division of the County of Suffolk, praying for relief, but wisely, as be conceived, abstaining from all allusion to Parliamentary Reform.—Laid on the table. The Marquis of LANSDOWN only rose to offer that melancholy and unfortunate testimony to the extent of the distress existing in Ireland, which he felt himself bound to give. In addition to that truly n. presented to prevail in'the county of Clare, he be lieved that more or less would be found in the adjoin ing counties. In the mountainous districts of the south-west of Ireland, where the population depended for their subsistence on the supply of potatoes, distress prevailed in a degree which might be equalled, but not surpassed, in the county of Clare. More than a month ago a communication had been made to him on the subject, and he ha] felt himself authorised to procure oatmeal from the neighbouring counties, and to have it retailed at lower prices. There was this feature in the present distress, that it related to one branch of produce only. There was, therefore, not the same difficulty in affording- relief from other kinds of produce as there must be if the scarcity were gene ral. The sufferings of the poor were experienced in the face of an apparent plenty of all that could sup port life, placed beyond their reach ; and he would 1 assure all the Associations formed for thei r r eli e f, t h at the most efficacious mode would be to promote the consumption of those articles of food standing imme diately above potatoes, but .still considered as poor living in this country. Ireland was much indebted to those individuals who had so nobly subscribed hero for the relief of her population ; though he should be sorry if this aid should check the exertions of the local proprietors. To the latter he would recommend to give all the assistance in their power on the spot, convinced, as he was, that it would be more useful than their subscribing in this country. He knew that all could not be effected without the interference of Government; and whilst he wished, with the Noble Earl opposite, that it should be exercised with cau tion, he also trusted that it would be applied in an efficacious manner. The Earl of BLESINTON rove to support the Address to his Majesty. The Noble Earl opposite talked of what Government had done and would do, but the accounts from the county of Clare stated that nothing had yet been done. Yet in that county, it appeared from official returns, that 48,597 individuals were in a state of starvation ! This distress had not a new origin ; it had been increasing for two years. At that period he had written to the Archbishop of 'Tam, to request him to subscribe. towards a statue of the late King, but that Prelate had replied that be wished all the money which had been collected should be applied to relief of the people. Distress was not exclusively felt in the South and West of Ireland. In the county of Donegal there was no want of food, it was true, but of money to buy it. Money and Ca pital were the things wanted. If the people were fed, without being provided with employment, mischief would ensue. If it were wished to do good to Ire land, a large sum must be given, at least five mil lions, two of which should be distributed, immedi ately, and the remaining three applied as local cir cumstances and other times should require. Lord ELLENBOROUGH"wished to know whether the Noble Earl opposite could state at what period, and to what extent, relief had been afforded ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL could not answer the question otherwise than liy stating, that from the time when his Majeity's Government had heard of the distress in Ireland, they had issued instructions to relieve it, and to apply the same aid as in 1817. The Earl of LIMERICK was diiposed to trust the assertion of his Majesty's Governinent, that much had been done, and still more would be done. Though the crop of potatoes had failed in Ireland, there was abundance of other produce; and nothing was more easy than to .relieve the existing distress, if money could be found to enable the poor to buy that pro duce. In the western and southern parts of the County . of Limerick much . distress was experienced, but ht no other. Feeling convinced that his Majesty's Mi nisters had done their duty, he should vote against the motion, if it was pressed. Earl GREY conceived, that the reasons on which the Noble Earl, who had just sat down, founded his opposition to the Address, were, on the contrary, those which ought to have induced bun to support it. If it were true, that his Majesty's Government had taken timely measures, and done all that it was in their power to do, nothing could be more satisfactory to the Public, and to the people of Ireland now•suf &ring under. unexampled disci e,s, than to see it proved to them, that their distresses had not been overlooked; and that whilst Ministers renewed the Insurrection Act, suspended the Habeas Corpus, and delivered them over to all the severity of the laws, they did all they could to check their dreadful mi sery. Had such a state of things been ever heard in any age or country, as had -scribed lordships to• nigh t ?

The accounts DISTRESS IN IRELAND. The Earl of DARNLEY rose.—Their Lordships knew, the Public knew, and his Majesty's Ministers ought long since to have knoWn, that in certain dis tricts in the South-western parts of Leland, consi derable distress existed amongst the peasantry. Al though it was matter of congratulation that the sub ject should have been taken up as warmly as it had been by wealthy individuals in this country, and that a noble subscription should have been produced, it was also matter of crimination against his Majesty's Ministers that they had not taken it up themselves, and that being informed as they must have been of the approach of that distress, they had not adopted timely measures to prevent it. If the Noble Earl could say that such measures had been adopted, not only to relieve, but to obviate distress, he should be most happy to hear it; but as far as he was informed, that was not the case, and suffering had arrived to the most alarming height. The Noble Earl then read an extract of a letter from a Gentleman in the County of Clare, on whose testimony he could de pend, stating that the distress in that County was be yond all possible description : that starvation was in all parte; that the Government, to whom repeated and strong applications had been made, had yet done nothing ; that if it meant to do anything it would come too late, and that without some general aid it was impossible to know what might ensue. If this were correct, was it not monstrous, that in an empire which called itself united, whilst English farmers Were suffering from excessive produce, the people of Ireland should be allowed to starve? If it were true that the Irish Government had been applied to, and had taken no steps to afford relief, and if the Noble Earl could not contradict the assertion, a case would be made out in which their Lordships would be bound by their duty to interfere and to carry an Ad dress to their Sovereign to call his attention to the subject. The private subscription of individuals would do some good; but it was only the interposi tion of the Government which could effectually re move 'the distress. The Noble Earl might say that it was confined to a small part of Ireland, but it was unfortunately but too well known how soon famine might be fallowed by pestilence, and then not a small dfstrict alone, but the whole country would be in volved in desolation. He concluded by moving. "That an bumble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he would order copies or extracts of any correspondence which had taken place between the Irish Government and the Secretary cf State for the Home Department, on the subject of the distress in Ireland, to be laid before the House." The Earl of LIVERPOOL trusted that the expla nation which he should give would be satisfactory to the House and to the country. There was no question more full of difficulty than that of the Government interfering to supply provisions to the people. There was, be believed, no example of such an interposition with respect to this country. Let tkeir Lordships consider how, if the principle were once established, it might is future affect the regular mode of subsist ence, and check the exertions of private benevolence? The open recognition of •the principle would be at variance with all notions of public economy. He would fairly say, that when he heard of the state of things in several counties in Ireland, appealing to arise from local causes, he had been anxious that, if possible, aid should be afforded without being made matter of public notice and discussion in Parliament,, as it would be better to act on the necessity of the' case than to recognise a principle which, if once esta blished,, night prove the means, at some period or ....1•
