Mr. JOHN SMITH said he had, several years ago, brought in a measure for the improvement of the bankrupt laws, which was de feated by a very unfair opposition. He was happy to see the great change that had taken place in the opinion of the house on the sub- Jed, and had no doubt the existing evil wool! speedily be remedied. Mr. O'CONNELL said, he would admit the bankrupt laws in Eng land to be the worst possible, only diem was a worse in Ireland. He did not think that any tribunal could be perfect with more than one judge. Mr. Alderman THOMSON presented a petition, signed by four thousand flea hundred bankers and traders or London, for an improve ment of the bankrupt laws. Lord EBItINGI'ON presented a petition from South Alolton, Devon, for a commutation of tithes, signed by 2,700 owners and occupiers of land, including the High Sheriff several Magistrates and Clergymen. The tithe system was exciting a fermentation in the country that he could not but view with the greatest pain and deepest Apprehension. Mr. Hll ME said, be hoped Ministers would see the necessity of at tending, without delay to the prayer of the petition.

A S i one morning shaving sat, For dinner-time preparing, A dreadful howling from the cat Set all the room a staring! Sudden I tuned—beheld a scene I could not but delight in ; For in my bout, so bright and clean, The cat her face was fighting. Bright was the boot—its surface fair, In lustre nothing lacking; I never saw one half so clear, Except by WARMS'S BLACZEI43. (W 41111101! that name shall last as long As beaux and belies shall dash on, Immortalized in every song That chaunts the praise of fashion! Fur, oh! without his Bratexnus, all Attempts we may abolish To raise upon our bouts at all The least of jet or polish.) Surpris'd, its brilliancy I view'd With silect admiration ; The glass that on the table stood Waxed dimly in Its station. I took the boot, the glass displac'd, For soon I was aware. The latter only was disgrac'd Whene'er the boot was near. And quickly found that I could shave Much better by its bloom, Than any mirror that 1 have Within my drawing-room. And since that time, I've often amli'd To think how Puss was frighten's', Whets at the boot she tuu'd and toil'd, By WARRZN'S BLACSIXO brighten'd.

Primate in his seat, took the opportunity of to know whether any, and what, progress had, been made in the be rtpecting the proposition, on the commutation of tithes. He wished to know whether that bill contemplated a composi tion or a commutation, because if it were confined to composition, he should bring in a bill to effect a commutation. The Archbishop of CNNTE 11BURY said the bill would preserve its original charnewrof composition. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented • petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, playing for an alteration in the bankrupt laws. The noble fort' obeerved that a misappiebension had gone abroad with respect to what he had said on presenting a peti tion signed by urwards of four thousand five hundred persons. It had been considered he intended to reflect on the Commissioners of bank. luptcy. If such a statement had gone forth, it must have arisen from misapprehension, as he never intended, nor had he any foundation for making such a reflection. The Bishop of LONDON moved the second reading of his bill re. specting the Commissioners of Churches. his lordship went at length into the details of the bill, which was ordered to be committed on Mon day next. 0111.EICT. Earl GREY seeing the Noble Earl (Aberdeen) in his place. who was pleased to ask him a question the other day, whether any negocia. don was pending with respect to the limbs of Greece, wished to may. that at the time the question was asked, he thought there had been communications on the subject. On inquiry he found that they had not Jul hitherto to any thing like a negosiation. What they might produce hereafter he could sot say. All he could State wart, that be mold not consider the present obligations renperdng the limits immutable. They could not, however, be altered without the eensent of all parties. Be now repeated, that if these limits could be settled on a sure foundation, he thou,tht it would lead to beneficial results. The Earl of ABERDEEN expressed his satisfaction at the answer of the Noble EarL Arramits OP PORTUGAL. Lord STRANGFORD said, in corouenee of the indisposition of a Noble Visenot (Goderich), be was wffliv to postpone his motion fot the production of papers connected with the trade to Portugal Viscount GODSRICH said he me perfectly ready to meet any dis cussion on that subject at once; and he begged to observe that he had as little objection to a postponement taking place. UNION OF WICKLOW. Lord KING in tuoviiig, pursuant to notice which he had given on a former evening. for a copy of the Report of the Archbishop of Dublin to the Lord Lieutenant of * Ireland, respecting the Union of Wicklow, ob. served that t h e Archbishop of Dublin was the patron of Wicklow, hence any union with which he might be concerned was highly objectionable; he was essured also, that there was no vicarage of Wicklow, although the Archbishop actually stated in his mart what the revenue of the in. cumbent would amount to, namely, SIM. per annum. The noble lord then proceeded at great length to di•prove the statements of the Arch.' bishop from a printed document, containing counter-statements made by Archdeacon Magee, and which have already been published, clearly establishing the fact, the noble lord observed, that the livings of Wick. low were worth louble tine sum reported by the Archbishop, who was also Rector of St. John's, Dublin, and Prebendary of St. Patrick's. in the same city. The noble lord concluded by moving for a copy of the report in terms of his notice. The Archbishop of CASHEL defended the line of conduct adopted by the Archbishop of Dublin. Lord FARNHAM characterised the whole of the noble baron's (King's) statement as a tissue of falsehood, arising undoubtedly from the wrong information which had been laid before the noble baron. The noble lord then proceeded at great length, and amidst many details, to defend the Ateitidsitop of Dublin from the charges brought against him by Archdeacon Magee. The noble lord deprecated the practice of bring. log such unfounded charges against the heads of the church, which only tended to bring the dome!' into disrepute, and subvert it entirely.— (Hear, hear.) He could prove to their lordships that there was at re sent a conspiracy in Ireland to put down the Established Church._ (Hear.) He then proceeded at great length to read certain affidavits to prove that a conspiracy existed between the parish priests of Ireland and the people to oppose all payment of tithes, in short not a clergyman was now able to get a single tlirthing of his tithes collected—there was a person also named Sbiel, though not the indithlual of that name who was sn well known in Ireland—this man had said, " so help his Goy," if the Union were not repealed in two years, he would neither pay rent, taxes, nor tithes--adding, he should like. to see the persons who should come and distralo his goods in consequence. The noble lard concluded by saying, that there was not the slightest cause for the noble baron's motion. Lord MELBOURNE said, he would not go so far as to say, there was a decided conspiracy in Ireland to resist the payment of tithes and taxes, still it was a matter of great regret, and sober reflection, that animosity did exist, in an alarming degree, in the lister country, and it became their lordships to discuss all sub jects connected with that country with moderation. He was satis fied that there existed in the minds of the executive government an anxious desire to remove every cause of complaint--(Hear, hear ) Bad the noble lord (Farnham) given notice that he intended to come down to the house with details of particular Instances of outrage, he Lord Melbourne) would have been able to go more fully into the sub. t ; that outr a ges of the nature spoke n o f did take place in December ec ,was notorious, anti he admitted It was possible that certain Roman Catholic priests played the part stated by the noble lord; and had so far forgotten dick sacerdotal char..eter, us to inflame the minds of the people placed under their spiritual care; but the noble lad knows even better than he (Lord Melbourne) did, that reports from Ireland he cegnutlyi took their tincture from the quarter *hence they came, sod as tly also from the quarter to which they were addreased. (Hesr.) 'With respect to the papers required :iy the noble baron (King), he ( Lord Melbourne) saw no objection to their production; they had al -ready been printed by order of the lime of Commons. The Earl uf IVIUKLOW vindicated die Areobishop of Dublin.— lie had experieneed great satisfaction In perusing the printed de- fence of that most Reverend Prelate ; of all the improvements which hod taken place in Ireland of late years, none was more strikingly I evkient thou that which had taken place among the clergy of that country. The Earl. of.DARNLEY rejoiced that the noble baron had Women forward hie motion; sr w pselimhtuy inquiry he should give it his warm support. Lord TEYNH All dare:Med the clergy of Ireland. The Duke of NORTHU al BtiItLAND should offer no &pedal' to the noble baron's motion ; so far from it, had he teen required to taiond •the motion, he should willingly have complied. Lord KING in reply said, the party from whom he had hod his information had no conneciion whatever with any conspiracy, sod If be (Lord King) was a conspirator, it was against the abuses of the church ; he must, however, observe, that the defence set up was an afterthought. The papers were then nnkred. ATFAIDS Or YORTIMAL. Lord STR A NGFORD again rose and said, in consequence of the late hour he was willing to tpone till to-moeruw his motion for pa pers on the trade to Portugal. Earl GREY said his Siajetty's ministers were then in that house for the purpose of hearing the r.ohle lonrs motion. Lord STRANGPORD resumed. The noble lord observed that he entertained great afftetion for a country (Portugal) in which he had spent se much of his life, and he humbly conceived that there existed ample wool for his 'meson. The noble lord then entered into a detail of the menniktreaties entered into between this and Portugal; eon. tending that thvse treaties the minister e sl i rtlis country were bout.,) to give maid to the Government of Portugal before any alteration of the duties of the wines of Portugal could be entered upon ; the Methuen Treaty, which admitted the woollens of this country into Portugal. was Violated by Poch a want of notice; h was also glebe the wines of Prawn a decided advantage over those of Portugal, thereby, alienating the affections of the people of that country from England..— It had become a common observation, in mov ing for papers of this description from a new Government, to dia. claim all wish to give embarrassment. lie (Lord Strapgfurd) trusted that when he used such an expression it arose from a far differ. tat feeling than one or mere form. After some other remarks the noble lord concluded by moving for copies or extracts of the instructions given to the British Consuls at Portugal prior to 1811; also copies of the treaties subsisting between Great Britain and Portugal relative to the suspension of th;e treaty of Paris signed at Rio de Janeiro • ,together with copies of the instructions to the Captains o f all his Majes ty's ships stationed in the Tagus in 1830. Viscount GODERICII contended that no breach of faith had been committed. The noble lord (Strsngford) had not quoted the treaties correctly. The noble Viscount then read the various treaties to show the: they contained clauses which provided a mode for Portugal to right herself by not admitting the woollen-manufactures of England. (Hear.) He then denounced the Oporto Wine Company as one of the most de testable of monopolies, as unjust and pernicious in hi nature, as ever disgraced the commerce of the country which gave it birth. The noble Viscount then at great length detailed the nature and bearings of the various treaties, contending that there was no ground for any imputa tions being east upon his Majesty's government, for the measures they intended to introduce, respecting the wines of Portugal. With respect to the papers themselves, )e (Viscount Goderich) had no objection to the production of all of them excepting the last ; to that he had a de cided objection, inasmuch as the production of the instructions to the captains of ships In the Tagus last year would make a premature dia. closure of what were the intentions of his Majesty's Government at that time. Lord ELLENBOROUOII was satisfied nothing was more natural than that the noble lord (Strangford) should call for the production of the papers in question. When the ministers of the crown acted hi direct contravention of Treaties to which the noble lord himself hod been a party, it became him (Lord Strangford) to call for every expla nation on the subject. The noble lord then entered upon an explana tion of his views of the various treaties between England and Portugal, to shew that it was not competent for his Majesty's ministers to make any alterations in them without first giving notice to the Court of Porte. gal in terms of the treaties between the high contracting ;tanks ; to have given notice to the authorities of Portugal would not have required more than two or three weeks, which would have fulfilled the clause of the treaty requiring such notice; then it was to be recollected that `y the Methuen treaty the woollen manufactures of England to the amount of 3011,01101. per annum. found their way to Portugal; it traw desirous that the woollen trade, of all others, should not be injured; whilst, at the sane time, every measure lending to produce M sunny be tween this Hover' nment and Portugal, and intorruptiag existing tweed. Atm between the two countries, ought to be carefully avoided. With re gard to the amount of revenue from the proposed measures--240,0001. he was persuaded that no such sum could be realised. He contended it was impolitic to propose a duty on a commodity the consumption of which was diminishing, whilst at the same time it tended to alienate the affections of a people who had long stood by England as one ot her most faithful allies. The LORD CHANCRLLOR then rose said add, rather than lend himself to any measure which would tend to a breach of faith under ex sting treaties, he should sooner suffer his right hand to be cut off. (hear, hear. hear,)---but it was because he saw no breach of faith, looking at the measure as a lawyer, he gave his cordial support to the plan which has been submitted by the Ministers of the Crown. For his own part, he saw not the shadow of a shade of any breach of faith in these measures. The fact was their lordships, by the course the debate had taken, were called todiscusi the budget of the house of commons, and the inconvenience of such a step was very obvious to him ; and he deemed It would have been far better to have deferred touching on these topics at all until a bill was brought into Parliament on the sub ject, for until that step had been taken, no breach of faith, if any should by possibility exist, could have been committed ; but how could the noble baron (Rilenborough) undertake to tell him (the Lord Chan. cellor) that notice has not been given to Portugal of the intended ale. ration ;he is now leaping in the dark. God wot, that Minister should be little able to stand which could not resist such arguments aa those which the noble baron and others had brought against it. The noble and learned lord then, at great length and force, contended that the Methuen treaty had not been violated, and that no favour was inten. tionally shown to France with a view to curry favour with that nation at the expense of Portugal. The Duke of WELLINGTON imagined, from the pains taken by the noble and learned lord on the woolsack, that his Majesty's ministers bad found themselves somewhat embarrassed by the motion of the noble lord. He did his Majesty's ministers the justice to believe that they did not wish wilfully to break faith in the face of existing contracts; but they had neglected to give that nodes regarding these contracts. The noble duke then referred to the treaties alluded to, with a view to show that the noble and learned lord oo the woolsack had not ex pounded them correctly, His noble friend (Lord Strangfeed), be con tended, 'ming a party to the framing of these treaties, was, surely, beet able to understand and expound them clearly. The noble duke I then referred to the great Importance of being on a friendly footing with Portugal. Owing to the evils of agitation, Ireland, of which country, he obeerved, that, unfortunately, the great measure which he had the honour of introducing three years ago, bad We been at. tended with all the idea' tagea anticipated to flow from it by some. Lord KING observed, that as seen as the prawn measure was dis cussed, he had no doubt but these in opposition to his Majesty's MI- Meters would bring forward questions relative to the colonies, them the shipping interest, then the lead mines, sodium the Willa duties ',saki b e brought for ward to swell out the Eat ; the band of pensieuees, he had no doubt, would also come filmed end complain that they had been stripped of their all; but the fact was, poet and prejudice were now nearly lone for--(A laugh.) Earl STA NA PE contended, that by the Methuen Treaty a re ciprocity of advantages was secured to this country and Portugal, and it had been violated, as no notice of any alteration had been gives. Earl GREY observed, that Ms Majesty's Administration hod been charged with committing a breach of faith, but that charge bad not bee* supported by any argument. He was as anxious as any of their lordships to keep up a friendly intercourse with Portugal. When the measure came to be discussed in the regular way. it would be under stood better, and he doubted not that it would then ap evident no injury had been inflicted on Portugal by the proposed least none so extensive as that now imagined ; the trade of Portugal had been decreasing, and this was occasioned by the very existence of the Oporto Company, which of itself was a violation of the Methuen treaty; but under that treaty his Majesty's ministers had a right to adopt those measures which they had proposed. Feeble own pan, he had no objection to the production of the papers, excepting always the last, and that for the reason already stated by a Noble Viscount (Goderich.) After a tew words from Lott] STRANOTORD and the Lord Crux es*. Loa, in el:planation, the papers, with the exception of the copies of instruction ut 18 0. to the Captains of ships• in the Tagus, were or. .:end, and their Lordships adjourned at Hetr.rssT SLAV= o'Clock HOUSE OF COMMONS. A new member was sworn, and took his mat. Mr. POItTM AN brought up the report of the Carlow election corn. Inittee. that Lord Tullamore, the sitting member, was duly elected, and that the petition against hie return was not frivolous or vexatious. Mr. ROBERT PALNIER brought up the report of the Wlpe election committee, that the sitting members were duly elected, and the petition against their election was not frivolous or vexations. Mr. CLIVE brought up the report of the Wexford 40W Polldell. that Mr. lirigraun, the sitting member, was not duly elected, and that Sir E. C. Deering was duly elected. Ordered, that the Clerk of the Crown attend tomorrow to amend the return. Sir E. K N ATcH BULL presented a petition from Gravesend, against the London port duties on Coal. Mr. J. WOOD presented apetition from the inhabitants of Dona tor. Wilts, stating that their borough had but six electors, who were all the tenants of a noble lord, who dictated to them the representatives they should return ; and praying for a reform in Parliament. The hon. gentleman presented a petition from Stockport, stating that in their leighbourhood there were 900,000 panes unrepresented, and praying foe Reform of Parliament, and a similar petition from Congleton. He happy that he had not presented one petition for Reform which did not pray foe the vote by ballot, without which ht was confident the puhlie would be disappointed. A Maxima said, Lord Radnor, the proprietor of the borough of Downton, had publicly deelared, at a county meeting, that be was moat desirous that his borough pa sh be taken from him. Mr. WOOD said he hoped other borough proprietors would be equally prudent, for he was confident the people would no longer sub mit (be used the word advisedly);to be governed by parliamentary peers. Mr. O'CONNELL said he was glad to find parliamentary peers beginning to reform themselves. He was determWd to endeavour to reform the late sitting of the House, and move the adjournment of the Howie at a quarter to eleven o'clock, unless the House would de clare its willingness to adjourn at twelve o'clock. Mr. Aid. WAITH MAN thought the observations made respecting the late hours of the house had nothing to do with the presentation or the petition. It was the infliction of unnecessary speeches on the house that delayed the proper business. Sir 11. W. RID LEY said the house had the power of protecting It self from the boo. member fur Waterford, and was above his taunts or threats.—.(Hear, hear.) Mt. fl UM E said he was surprised at the complaints of the hon. barb which was calculated to rut an end to the liberty of speech. It was well known that the public interests Buffered by the late sittings of the house. If the hon. member for Waterford moved the adjournment of the house at twelve o'clock, he would protect the interests of the pea plc by supporting the motion. Mr. DU NCO ti HE said if the hon. member for Waterford persisted in moving the adjournment, be hoped the house would rescind the standing OfillT. Mr. fl UNT said If all the standing orders of the home were not acted on he would move that they be all rescinded. The hon. alderman who talked of inflicting speeches, had, a few nights ago, inflicted a speech on the house, that drove the whole house out of the house.— (A great Lugh.) Mr. ° I CON NR LL said he was as willinpp any Member could be to attend at as early an hour of the day M might be thought necessary for transacting the public business of do country in the manner it aught to be teanaacted, which was not dune at, present, for at three or four o'clock in the morning witen'there were but few Members in the Hors; and all fatigued, the business was hurried over in a manner wholly inconsistent with proper consideration. Such hours were so de structive to health th.tt he knew many persons, who would make valu. able Members of the House, deterred by them from coming into it. Such hour. most also be injurious to the gentleman alto filled the Chair of the House, for whom sake, if thine were no other reason, :he practice shouldle altered. Mr. WARBURTON said if the Hoo. Member for Waterford would bring forward a motion for concluding the business of the House at an earlier hour than at present, it would well deserve, and would no doubt receive the consideration of the House. COMMITTIE or SVPPLY. Lord A LTHORP moved that the House resolve itself Into a Com mittee of Supply. - SIX 'Alin GILIMAX 9 II IM , LANATION. Sir JAMES GRAHAM rase and said:—Although he was at all times unwilling to intrude on the House any thing of a private or personal nature. yet he hoped on the present occasion he should receive their indulgence for a few moments.—(Hear, hear.) In the wamth of dehate on a former night, iu the course of an un. premeditated speech, he had used the term " demagogue ;" he had been asked to explain whom he meant by that term, and In reply be had no besitatiou to state that he hid not applied it to the boo. member for Clare, nor did he know, when he used it, that the hon. !amber revalue was sitting behind him. He stated thus much in compliance with the wishes of his noble friend. He must now add, In jusiice to his own (tel. inp, that he did use the team Its reference to another member, whom he now taw in his pLsce,(Alr. O'Connell); and when he recollected that that honourable member at the moment lse:wsed it was not present— and also certain declarations made by that honourable gentleman, which ought to make him very cautions in the language bt toed, and certainly ought to make all other gentlemen very cautious in the language they used towards him—and more especially when he recol lected the position in which that honourable gentleman stood towards his Majesty's government, be frankly and freely confessed he regretted the expression had escaped his lips.

He (Mr. O'Connell) never said any thing in that house or out of It, which he was net prepare to support as a Christian, oe retract if he found himself in meat. T roth was his only object and guide. The right hon. baronet had mentioned the situation in which be (Mt. O'Connell) was placed with respect to his Majesty's Government; that situation he believed was much misunder stood. He bad hoped to arrive at the house to-day in time to have his tam—hc would mite especial care to arrive early enough for it to.. morrow—that he might have the opportunity of stating most dis tinctly the situation in which he reall y did stand with reference to Government.
