Mr. HUTCHINSON, in seconding the bringing up of the Petition, took occasion to temark upon the great patience with which the people of Ireland bore •the berdshipi arising from Agricultural and Corn distress to which they were exposed. • He -.tended that it was the true interest's f this counl try to patronize and encourage Agriculture . in Ire land, rather than by sending yearly such large sums of money to purchase Corn in foreign parts. Agri. culture was the only means by which the people of 'lreland could be enabled to pay their share of taxes to the State. The distilleries served to consume a great share of their Corn, and they were' discoun. tenanced by the Legislature. The measure of com pelling the Irish distillers to bring their spirits down to a certain strength, was, he contended, an infrac tion of the Act of Union. If this principle was acted upon, there was no species of Irish manufacture which the English importer could not insist on hay ing brought to the standard of his own taste or inte rest. /Ire Chancellor of the Exchequer was too late in having, at this hour of the day, discovered that Irish whisk'', at its native strength, would be injurious to English constitutions ; he (the Hon.

In the absence of such proof he should feel himself com pelled to oppose the Bill in all its stages. CUB WEN bad applied this engine ro upwards of twenty steam-egines which he had himself, and be found it entirely efficacious. The engine would save a great expenditure of fuel. He thought, however, that if it was confined.originally to the metropolis, its utility would soon make it be generally adopted throughout the country. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, that at present, as the law stood, any steam-engine might be prosecuted for a nuisance. He had introduced no new law on the subject. There were no prosecutions against steam engines in Cornwall, because the people in their neigh. bourhool lived even by the evil. But in many cases 1 1 persons had built engines in the midst of villages, and had actually compelled the inhabitants of those vil lages to fly their houses. His Bill left with the Courts the same discretion which they had before. The Court would only impose nominal damages if the nuisance was instantly abated. But this law gave no countenance to qui tam actions; and it would rest with the Jury to say whether the engine was a nui sance or not. A Cornish Jury would, perhaps, never find a steam-engine a nuisance. With regard to con fining the Bill to the Metropolis, he would ask, was not a Country Clergyman who had a school in a vil lage to be protected? Any one might see this hard ship exemplified in Leeds, Manchester, and other large towns. His Bill only declared, that the-steam engine was such a nuisance as ought to be abated.— He could not consent to put off the Bill now for another year, after it had been two years before the House. The Honourable Gentleman opposite, whose experiment failed, must have had a most clumsy en gineer—(4 laugh). General GASCOYNE read a letter from his con stituents at Liverpool, stating, that some persons who had made an experiment on Mr. Parkes' plan bad en. tirely failed. They prayed the Hon. Member to en deavour to have the measure postponed, or, if ha could, to have it altogether withdrawn. Mr. PHILLIPS thought this was a subject of con siderable importance, and he entreated the Honour able Mover to postpone it for some time. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, seeing the discussion on this Bill going to such a length, en treated the Hon. Mover to postpone it for the present, and leave the rest of the night open to the public bu siness. He observed, that an Hon. Gentleman near him was about to propose a clause, by way of rider, to the Bill, and he thought, when that came to be discussed, the House would have an opportunity of going more minutely into the merits of the question. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR professed himself willing to take that course which was most agreeable to the House—(Go on). A conversation then ensued between Mr. LITTyI TON, Mr. CA LCRAFT, MT. BUXTON, MT. MA RRYATT, and Mr. Alderman WOOD, when the Gallery was_ cleared for a division.

RUSSIAN ARMY. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in rising to move the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, said, that he wished to take this opportunity to give a distinct re ply to a question put to him on a former occasion, but which he had not then been enabled to answer positively. He alluded to the march of the Russian Army towards Italy, in consequence of the events which had taken place in Piedmont. Ile could now state with certainty, that those troops were not to pass the dominions of Russia. In giving this assurance to the House, he felt that he was only doing justice to the two great Powers whose system of policy was most unwarrantably attacked by an Honourable Gentleman opposite. He maintained that it was very wrong in any Honourable Member to stand up in his place and impute motives to those Sovereigns, which had no foundation whatever in fact. It was most unjust to charge them with designs against the in terests and tranquillity of the world—( Hear, heart. Ile must protest, in the face of the country, against any imputation which went to accuse either Russia or Austria with being actuated by a spirit of aggran disement. From all that had come to his knowledge down to the last month, he could unequivocally de clare, that he believed, both Powers to entertain no disposition of that nature. He now wished to state briefly the circumstances which had arrested the march of the Russian Army, as well as the cause why it had been set in motion. In consequence of the revolution which had broken out in the King of Sardinia's dominions, a portion of his army h a d beerr disbanded, and that Monarch found it necessary to make application to Austria fora limited body of troops to supply the deficiency. The Emperor was anxious to cpmply with the application ; but then, as his interests were conjoined with those of the other European Powers, he feared lest it might be falsely imputed to him that he had designs on the whole of Italy, contrary to the faith of existing trea ties. With these sentiments on the subject, 1,8 en treated the Sardinian Monarch to make a similar ap plication to the Emperor of Russia, and to endeavour to persuade him to allow a limited corps of Russian troops, to the number of 20,000 or 25,000 men, to march into Italy for a particular service. The latter Monarch was no less reluctant than the Emperor of Austria to acquiesce ia the application, being in fluenced by the same fear of undue imputation a r i tt respect to territorial aggrandisement. The events, however, which had recently taken place in
