On the motion of the Marcihess of LANSDOWN, the Irish Charitable Loan Societies' Bill was read a second time. The Marquess of LANSDOWN presented a petition from the Inhabitants of Salisburv, which he said was most numerously and respectably signed, and which prayed for the Abolition of Slavery in the British Co lonies. Adjourned to Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WILDNeiDAT. General OASCOYNE postponed his motion relative to the payment of the Irish Half-pay in British Currency to Friday, May 23.

Lord NUGRNT postponed his motion for placing English Catholics on the same footing with Irish Catho lice, to the 21th May, on a similar understanding, that he would not make a fnrther postponement. Mr. LAWLEY presented a petition from the inhabit ants of Birmingham, praying for the abolition of Sla vory.—Ordered to be printed. GAME L %WS. Mr. BROUGHAM said he rose to present a petition from Mr. Cubbett, which called the attention of the House to the present-state of the Game Laws, and prayed that it would not suffer the Bill now in progress through tke House for authorising the sale of game by the Lords of manors and other persons qualified, to pass into a law without further consideration. Mr. Cobhett in his peti tion called the attention of the House to the severe hard ships of the Game Laws, and the disastrous effect they had upon the morals and jurisprudence of the country, and in doing so he stated a fact which could not fail to convince the House of the truth of his assertion. The Sessions Calendar of the County of Berks contained the names of 77 persons who were confined in Bridrwell, 22 of whom were for poaching, and nine of them were com mitted by Clergymen, who were Justiies of the peace; and these men were absolutely punished with greater se verity than those who had been convicted of crimes de serving death. Several guilty of such crimes bad been punished only with an imprisonment of twelve months, and a housebreaker with 24 mouth•, while a poacher was condemned to a punishment of 21 tii.mths and hard labour. It wag monstrous that out of 77 persons impri soned, 22 should be fur poaching. The petitioner also stated that in the County of Hants, of 16 persons who were condemned to death, only two young men suffered punishment, and that for residing gamekeepers. He implored the House to well consider the monstrous in justice of these laws, before they aggravated the evil, by passing the Bill now io progress through the House.— Mr. Cobbett states that great evils were endured in other counties Iron. the privileges of the aristocracy ; but laws which gave toe aristocracy the exclusive possession of wild animals, though reared up at the public expense, and enabled theta atone to sell them, showed a stretch of power on the one bawl and a degree of abjectness on the other, which were unparalleled to any country westward of Constantinople. These facts, stated with the usual perspicuity of that able writer, were certainly entitled to the serious attention of the House ; and it could not be said that Mr. Cobbett in any way encouraged poaching; for he ventured to say that no Act of Parliament had a greater tendency to prevent poaching than his writings. ►Vhatever might be his difference of opinion with Mr. Cobbett, he felt it his fluty to present the petition. Lord PALMERSTON said that the Hon. sod Learned Gentleman stated that two men were condemned to derail for resiitiag game-keepers. That was true, but one of those men had shqually committed mauler, and the other had ma liciously fired a gun at so unarmed man, aid lodged the contents in his body, at a distance of ten yards. The man WPM a servant of his (Lord Palmerston), but he fortunately recovered. Mr. BROUGHAM said that be had no doubt PII the No ble Lord stated was perfectly true, but still it was not con clusive as to the petition. He could not justify the men who had committed such acts, but he condemned the laws. which placed men in a state that rendered the commission of such acts likely. He would now use the same argument he used the other day in defence of the twenty-one men who were tried for murder on the high seas. Why did they kill the men ? because the Legislature passed an abominable law, giving Custom-House crukers the power of shocting at smugglers to a distance of 1111 leagues from the English coast. Ile did not mean to justify the men for killing others, but why were they shot at? Without denying the statement of the Noble Lord, it was no argument against the prayer of the petition. Mr. J. BENNET said It was lamentable that so many murders should yearly take place in consequence of the Game Laws, and hoped some alteration would be made In them. Sir T. BARING corroborated the statement in the peti tion, that the greater part of those in prison in the county of Hants were confined for poaching. Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition from the inhabitants of the Borough of Evesham, praying for the abolition of Slavery.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. J. MARTIN presented a similar petition from the inhabitants of Tewkesbury.—Ordered to be printed. Sir M. RIDLEY presented a similar petition from New eastle-upon-Tyne.—Ordered to be printed. Col. BAGWELL. presented a petition from the Under Sheriff of the County Westmeath, against the Grand Jury Presentment Bill, which was now in progress through the House.—Laid on the tahle. Mr. ABERCROMBY postponed his motion, relative to John Murray Borthwick, to the 3d of June. Mr. Q. 13gNNE C moved fur returns of all grants of land in New South Wales, and the annual expenditure of the co lony for the last seven, years, preparatory to the bringing in a Bill for the better administration of Justice in that colony. —Agreed W. INQUIRY INTO THE CONDUCT OF TILE SIIERIFF OF DUBLIN. The Order of the Day was then moved for resolvint the House into a Committee to inquire into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin. The CHAIRMAN desired the Clerk of the Man for Ireland to be celled in. He delivered the panels which had been previously called for by the Houses He (the Chair man) then desired to know if Sheriff Cooper was in at tendance. It being annOunced that he was not in attendance ' Mr. WILLIAMS requested the Chairman to order Serjeant llar ris to be called in ; but Sheriff Cooper being then in attend ance, he was ordered to be called to the bar. Sheriff Cooper examined by Mr. J. WILLIAMS.—I wish to knew if Sheriff Thorpe did not interfere to prevent Poole from being put on the panel 7—Sheriff Thorpe said that he had no objection to his being pet on the panel, but as Poole had called on me for the purpose, I rather wished that he should not be nut on the panel. Mr. WILLIAMS repeated his question.—l mentioned to Sheriff Thorpe that Poole had called on me to he put on the panel, - ind Thorpe made some observati.n which I do not re ineet. Mr. WILLIAMS—is the Committee to learn that the ob jecti, ii to Poole's being put on the panel came from the wit ness or Sheriff Thorpe 1-1 can't recollect. Mr. WILLI ANlS—Ete pleased to recollect if Sberiff ,Thorpe did not object to Poole's being put on the panel 1.1 consequence of his political opinions; recollect yourself 7 —Sheriff Thorpe and I were not then in the habit of commu• nicalins. Mr. WILLI iMS again repeated the question.—l wish to know if Sheriff Thorpe did not object to Poole's Schur part on the panel in consequence of his political opinion / —I have a delicacy in giving an opinion upon which f am not positive. Mr. WILLIAMS—I 'am not asking as to an cpinion, but as to a fart ?—I can't say positivey. Mr. %VI LLIAM3 again repeated the question—Did not Sheriff Thorpe object to Poole's being put on the panel in consequent:col his political opinio.ts ?-1 should peahably think that be might or might no', but rather think that be did nut comusualcate it to :ne.-11e c 3 PRICE 7N"..m;i• not be certain whether Sheriff Thorpe made the attemp t Sew Mr. O'Reilly since his examination closed, lied some conversation with him respecting Mr. Pool e ' s being kept off the panel. Did not thi n k that O'Reilly could have known th e n a t ure o f th e ev id ence w hi c h witness had given. Witness told O'Reilly last night that he thought he (O'Reilly) must be wrong as to what hehad stated respecting Sheriff Thorpe and Mr. Poole. He had never desired O'Reilly not to say any thing on that subject. tale did not mean positively to say that Sheriff Thorpe did not make some political dis tinction between Mr. Poole and others who, were in the panel. He had not songht O'Reilly after the examini tion was over, he wet him in the lobby. Mr. Whistler was the Under-Sherilf. No particular sum was paid by him to the Sheriffs—it depended entirely on the receipts of the office. The accounts were settled quarterly. Examined by Mr. BRlGHT—Witness differed in po litical opinions from Sheriff Thorpe, though be has con curred with bins in the formation of the Grand Jury. 117 Mr. PLUNKETT—The panel was in the hand writiog of Sheriff Thorpe. Mr. Poole's name was on it at first, and it was on the mutual suggestion of witness and Sheriff Thorpe 'hat it was taken off. The reason was, that Mr. Poole had made application to have his name on; if be bad not, witness would have insisted on its not being struck off. Witness does not recollect Mr. Poole having made any comnlaint to him of a breach of promise. Heard that Sheriff Thorpe bad promised him to put hit name on the pine'. Does not know why Mr. Poole came to him to put his name on. It might have been from the idea that Sheriff Thorpe had chang ed his mind before Mr. Poole applied to uttness. Mr. PLUNKETT then put this important question If Sheriff Thorpe had changed his mind before, how could his applying to you be the cause why Mr. Poole was excluded?—We were making out a preparatory list. and I mentioned that be had applied to me to have his name put on. By Mr. LETVESTER.—There were but few Concili ation mee on the ?and; there were some moderate minded men on it. the number of Conciliation men might probably be five, and if he had the list he could say if their names were within twenty-seven of the first names to be called over. By Mr. PLUNKETT—Witness never heard Mr. Whistler boast that he was the person who had returned the panel. Hy Sir JOHN NEWPORT—Witness was at the Sheriffs' dinner, but could not state any particulars as to Sheriff Thorpe having declared his determination to abide the wishes of those who had made him Sheriff.-- Sheriff Thorpe's health was drank, but he did not recol lect the speech he made further than that he thanked those who had returned him. The substance of it might be that Sheriff Tb3rpe was ready to agree to their ishes. - - By Mr. WILLIAMS—Witness was intimate with Mr. O'Reilly. By Mr. GRATTAN— Witness did not indulge in the hope of being Lord Mayor; did not know Mr. Brad shaw, of Mounijoy-square, Dublin. • Serjeant-Mayre Farris was neat called in. Examined by hir. WlLLlAllB.—Witness belongs to the 74th regiment, stationed in Dublin. He entered the regi ment al a private soldier, and was afterwards advanced to be corporal, Bedew, and serjeant-major, which rank he now held; he was before the Grand J ury . after the riot; he was examined by four or five of them, and not very cour teously ; they continually reminded him thit he was speak ing on his oath, and questioned his veracity in a threatening manner, One of the Jurors said, " 1 don t think yon could know a person from one gallery to another." Witness was the,n speaking of the man whothrew the missile, of whose person he was quite certain. Another of the Jurors left bis seat and went up to the Foreman for the apparent purpose of contradicting what witness had stated. lie complained on leaving the room of the manner he had been treated, and other witnesses did the same. By Colonel BARRY.—Witness did not recollect the names of the Jurors, of whom he complained; he had ob jected generally to the rude manner in which he had been treated. By Lord HOTHAM.—Witness was two or three times at the Pliteuix Park when not on duty. He supped in the Park once or twice. Went to the theatre of hli own accord on the 1411. December. tie had had no particular conversation since the riot with any of the housenold of the Lord Lieu tenant. Never had any conversation with Mr. Johnson on the subject, either directly or indirectly. It was since that time he was made a Serjeant-Major, but not in consequence of any thing he did on the occasion, but, as he hoped, of his prior good conduct. Mr. Ryan was the next witness called. Examined by Mr. WILLIAMS.—Witness is an officer of Excise. Was before the Grand Jury of Dublin as a witness on the subject of the riot. They examined him separately at first, but afterwards two or three of thins asked him dif ferent questions at the same moment, before he bad time to I answer one, and this, as he believed, for the express pur pose of shaking his testimony. They asked him his motives and expectation in coming forward to give his evidence. He complained of this, and stated to the Foreman that it was impossible to :..nswei the questions in the manner they were put. lie stated that he was sworn as well as they, and that he had no other motives than those of duty in coming for ward. He was, at the time, stating the particulars as to the person who threw the rattle. He said that the person who threw it wore no glasses, and that he was a sallow looking young man. They contended that I had expressed a doubt on the subject in another part of my evidence, but that I denied ; and, on referring to the notes, no such doubt could be found. When he came out he complained of the manner in which he had heen treated. All the witnesses who came out made a similar complaint. Several material facts escaped his recollection at the moment, In consequence of the annoyance he experienced. By Colonel BARRY.—Witness is positive as to the evi dence he gave. Never heard that any other man was pointed out in Newgate as the person who threw the rattle. Never heard that a man named Ormsby was pointed out as the person. To a question toy Mr. BROWNLOW„ witness said that on the night of the riot in the theatre he sat in the lower gallery, and saw Graham sitting in the front seat of the up per gallery. The witness having withdrawn by order of the Com mittee, Mr. GOULBURN said he was unwilling to interrupt the examination, but be could not see what connection there was between the seat occupied by Graham In the ballery and the conduct of the Shea i tf and Grand Jury. If his Hoa. Friend could show the relevancy of each questions of course he might proceed. Mr. BROWNLOW said that he understood that if Gra ham sat in the :rota row of the upper gallery, and the witness in the fifth row of the lower gallery, as be statue, it would be Impossible for him to see Graham, the one seat being as perpendicularly under the other, that if a plumb Hoe were let fall from the one it would drop on the other. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said that it made no difference wheth r the evidence of the witness were true or false, the pwsrion at prevent being whether the Grand Jury impeded Ithe witness. Mr. BROUGHAM said he understood the question went to shake the credit of the witness, and in that case it was 'Pie witness being again called la, answered to questions by Mr. BROWNLOW, that be sake Urabam, who bad a trent seat in the upper Ittllery, lean4rtir over the railing awl Bing the rattle, hating Ortt taken the parts asunder. DUTIES ON TALLOW. Mr. CURWEN presented a petition from a body of Butcher% praying for an increase of the Duties on Po reign Tallow. Mr. RICARDO thought the petitioners were the last persons that ought to complain. The Home lied already pronounced its opinion on this subject. Mr. DENNEIT (Wiltshire) thought that the but chers ought not to complain. He thought that the tax ought to be taken off candles, and a proportionate duty laid on foreign tallow. Sir T. LE I'HBRIDGE advocated the necessity of further duties on foreign tallow, on the ground that the home grower could not compete with the foreign grow er. Hr hoped some pledge would be Riven on the part of the Government that an additional duty would be im posed on fq,pragn tallow. We should not Invery squeam ish about giiiNg . offence to Russia, who had in her last tariff expunged six articles that we were in the habit of importing into that country. Mr. RICARDO thought such a tax would he impo litic. It would be eventuollya grievance to the country, instead of being so to Russia. He was interested, as a landed proprietor, in laying on these duties, bat to serve the landed interest, which was already too much pro tracted at the expense of every other interest in the country, was contrary to his duty as a Member of that House. Mr. BENNETT (Wilt,bire) contended that imposing further duties oo foreign tallest• would nut increase the price of tallow here. Lord SIILTON said if the effect of further ditties would not be to raise the price of tallow here, the argu ment of the Member for Somersetsbire must fail. Mr. BENETT said he did not propose to increase the duties on foreign tallow, without taking off the duties on tallow candles. The petition was laid on the table. Sir. R. FEROUSSON presented a petition from the Linen Manufacturers of Kincardine, praying for a re peal of the late enactments with respect to the Linen Manufacturers; and a similar petition from the Spin ners of the same place.—Laid on the table.
