At the York assizes rust concluded, in a case in which the right of way was the subject in dispute, evidence having been adduced to shew that a funeral had passed along the road, Mr. Justice Bayley took occasion to ob serve, that a very common prejudice existed, that wher ever a corpse was carried there might be a bridle road, but it was entirely without foundation, and he thought this ought to be made known as generally as possible, for the interrupting such a funeral, while its being suf fered to pass could confer no right, tended not unfre quently to distress the feeliairs of individuals who, at such a time, bad usually sufficient cause for grief.

Earl GREY, after expressing his regret that none of his Majesty's Ministers were th en in their places, said he wkit ''edthortly to state, that since the . papers relating to the late negotiations were laid on the table, he bad made the best use of his *time in reading them over; and he was sorry to say that his perusal of them had in no degree weakened the impression made on his mind the preceding evening by what bad passed in that House. On t. e contrary, he felt con vinced that in the course Of Hose negoclations the honour and interest of the country had been sacrificed in a degree never before experienced. Under these circumsta nces ' he wished to give notice of his intention t o brin g forOard a distinct motion in some shape or other; but thinking that in the mean time it would be necessary to have some ex planation with regard to certain papers that were omitted. he should on Thursday next, if Ministers were then present, put some questions to them, with a view of obtaining the information he wanted, and at the same time would fix on a day the most convenient for them, perhaps Tuesday next ; for entering into a discussion on the papers. The Grants in Aid Bill, and the Innkeepers' Allowances Bills were committed. —Adjourned. lIOUSE OF CONIIIONS-TUESDAY.

Mr. BROWNLOIV addres- , ed the chair, and said that he rose pursuant to the notice be had given, to submit a motion to the House, relatice to circumstances whirl in volved the purity of jurisprudence in Ireland, arising from the occurrences of the 14th of December last, and which affected most seriously the public character of his Majesty's Attorney.lieneral for that country. Whatever might be the ultimate fate his motion was doomed to expe rience from the House, he was satisfied that every Hon. Member would agree that the subject was one as impor tant as hail ever come before them. It was a question not alone concerning Irishmen or Irish feelings, but it came home to every man's bosom who found protection in the Law and the Constitution. la was the more important, because it was alleged that the conduct which was pursued was an unwise departure from the usual course of law, and an unjustifiable exercise of the King's Prerogative by his Majesty's Attorney-General. Such, then, being the outline of the case, so important in its nature, and in all its bearings, he found that some would think him bold in venturing upon a question which might be called one of law,and that he ought to have thrown it into hands more conversant with form and the proceedings of the Courts. Ile was aware that many Hon. Members would find him deficient in all that technical aid and legal ic. , owledge, which would materially assist the discussion of the case. But though the illestion might involve many late 'Filets, it involved more general constitutional principles, which every tnan in the country should understand, and every man in that House stand forward to di fend. — (Hear, hear.)—lt concerned not Irishmen alone, but every person in these realms who worked upon the intervention of a Grand inry, as a chief protection to his rights. It is one strictly consistent with Parliamentary usage to bring forward. He looked upon it nut as a question of law between one individual and anotber, bat as a gees tiort between the King on the one hand.aruiul with pow er and prerogative, alt , l unarmed and unprotected sub jects on the other.—(Hear.) There were 14unie people who thought, as the question apjayared to him of so mach im portance, that he should nut have allowed it to slumber so long. To those he was disposed to offer every apology in his power: - If that proceeding had taken place in Eng land, where no man dare invade, for a moment, constitti tional principles with impunity, not a slay world have been suffered to escape until it was brought before the I louse and the Country. If the decision of a 6ran4 Jnry was not only set at nought, but vilified acid coadetnned ; if the opinions of Jurors were disregarded because they dill not chance to tally with those of his Majesty's Attor ney -General ;if every vituperation w as directed against their characters in spite of their unaninotis decision, such circumstances would not have failed to awaken the moat prompt and active investigation. He wa ilKi011! to have the subject brought forward , a t an earlier day ; bat the absence of the Irish Members on the business of the cir cuits, did not afford a more early opportunity. He under stood, in his absence, that it was insinuated that he had Oren notice for Hist ddieussiiitti for the 17th April, to an ticipate the discussion of the Catholic question, appointed by the Attorney-General of Ireland fir the 17th. He (Mr. B. deelarssl. on the contrary, that he had uo such inten tion, and that he did not *de any conneclion between the two questions. There was no analogy io the ease, and he felt this. He might as well accuse the Kt. Hon. Secre tary below him (Mr. Canning), for having yesteeday brutal/lit on a motion which was likely to prejudice the discussion of tbat night. However open Ite might be to the charge of Isitewarnmese or amenity, he would then pieta& to j away the duty he had uddertakeo. It bad _ reached his cars, that a late motion of an Hon. Frit ni, the Member for Carar (Cal. Barr)) bad its origin in party feelings and prejudices. He (Mr. B) was ceitaiu tied his lion. Mend did not-deserve any such accusation, and for his own part he again declared 'that he etas not actuated byteisch feelings. If the present was a question of a negative character; if it had intrinsic and markt:d features, peculiarly its own, then it might be fair to look for extraneous motives in its supporters. He (leiter(' for himself the protection of the House, from all motives except those'which would become apparent in the obser • rations be submitted on the resolution with which he intended to conclude.—(Hear, hear.)—l fin them be was led astray by prejudice or passion, be well knew that he would meet the instant reprobation of the House — He made 110 doubt if the praceedines in Ire• I.nil were sheltered by the. Ilouse, and if les • Majesty's Attorney-General in that country were skreened io a departure from Law and the Constitution that an English Attorney-Gsneral, relying on that prere• dent, might yet come down to that Honer., and draw a sword against British Liberty and Hie Constitution (Hear, front the Opposition.)—He recollected a line from the Retrain Historian, ',recites, which might be appro priately quoted. It referred to the policy of Caligula. who sought to complete the subjugation of Eegianti by the conquest of 'eland— I:t in conspectu ililits libertas delete sit. lie (Mr. Brownlow) asked his Majesty's Atterney-Gee. for Ireland, if it was his intention to attempt the suejoe't tion of England, by destroying the beeelits of the Con stitution in the sister country ? Did he seek to estab'ish a source of corruption in the extreme part of the empire, which was to work its way to the heart of tbe Constita: ties ? lie 'rebid ask any Hon. Member about bim,what his feelings would be, to see the country broken in spirit, and made bankrupt by such unconstitutional proceedings"! lie believed there were very few in that House who w: re not acquainted with the circumstances of the dressing a statue of King William in Dublin on the 4th November. The custom was least one hundred years old, and he recollected haring seen a Proclamation, in which a large reward was offered for the discovery of the evert° wino stole the truncheon from the hands of the statue on one of those slays of cerertiony.—(Hear, and laughter. It stewed on the arrival of the Marquess of Wellesley in the country, that he was not inclined to support this loyal millinery, as it was called, and the Noble Marquess refused to countenance a practice which he (Mr.B.) was ready to admit sac most mischievous.—(l fear, hear ) He was well aware of the delicate ground he was treading upon when speaking of that ceremony, and he was not iu clined to enter upon objectionable topics. But as his 'la: jetty's Attorney.6eneral had put the case,be (Mr. B.) felt himself called open to declare that he would have equally pretested against the deviation from the law if the same proceeding had taken place, and if the House asked to ad mit it as a precedent. He would not have shrunk from the same duty which he had then undertakes, if the oppressed and persecuted patties wete Roman Uatho- Ho, and the Attorney-General himself the Grand Alas of an Orange lodge.—(Hear, and laughter.)-1n treating the question on general grounds, be hail nothing to do with the party politics which were introduced only to di vest the attention of the House from the real merits or de merits of the subject. The prevention of the dressing of the statue was the cause of mock pride and exultation on the one side, as it was of depression and mortification on the other. An outrage followed shortly, which he could not sufficiently reprobate ; and an insult was offered to the repiesentative of Majesty in Ireland—to a Nobleman whose character and talents promised happiness to that country by his Government, The feeling of indignation was prompt and general throughout the country agairist the parties concerned in the insult. He spoke then the language of the whole country, when he used the strong est .terms of abhorrence against them. Had the stares which were brought forward been only guided by common prudence anti temper, thee would have been met with approbation from one end of the country to the other. But when his Majesty's Attorney-General, io an unlucky hour, spoke of assassination, ritlieule, the Most powerful of all weapons, was instantly directed against him and all his subsequent proceedings. From the con duct of his Majesty's Attorney-Get.eral an argument might fairly be raised, to what lengths a public officer, re moveable at the pleasure of the Crown , will go at the instance of the Crown, or perhaps from his own irritated feelings—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) Ile asked from slut occurrence could the. accusation of an intend ed assassination be made ont ? or in what manner was it shown that it was to be carried into effect? Was the Lord Lieutenant to he assassinated by hissing him—a Wellesley of all others to have his fears excited by the silly clamour of a mob.—(Hear.) To show the House how well the circumstances of the case tallied with the charge of an intended assassination, be would inform the House of the relative situation of the parties. The Lord Lieutenant sat in a box on the left side of the theatre, in a recess on a level with the stage. The assassins went to the same side of the House to the gallery—to a p'ace where they could oat see the object of their yengeanee, and the most inconvenient which could he selected far their object. From that spot it was impossible to reazh his Excellency with any weapon or missile, unless frees such a pleas was known Alone in Ireland, and which had the peculiar power of sitogthig round a corncr,— (Laughter) and at an object which was neither seen nor aimed at.—(A laugh) He asked if 'lrwin possesslan of their faculties ever made choice of such a pace far such an object; or if ever men came to assassinate the ChierMagistrate of a country, and with a rattle and a .bottle.—(Hear, and laughter.) The pat ties, however, who become the objects of suspicion were taken up, and lodged in gaol. The four Walls of the ptisot bezatne their sureties, and there were they they left to pass their Christmas holyclays. The outrage tonic place on the 14th of December, and on the Monday after the Lord Lionte nant, through his Private Secretary, returned thanks to Mr. Mulligan for his defence. He heard a erect deal atmat packed June., who went together against law and evi dence front political sympathy; but. in time present case,the feelings of the whole of Ireland were packed together by ill-timed addresses, and still More ill-timed answers. At last the Assizes 4AM—the Oyer and Terminer Brevet!, act then it was intimated, for tle first time, that the capital 'part of the charge was abandoned, which notice was ac companied by a tleclaratioa that the evidence was suffi ciently strong to bear out the capital complaint ; but that it was shah boned, as the lads Were never so powerful as when administered in mercy. For his part tie ventured of say, that if the Attorney-General had really evidence to substantiate the ;met of the parties, it was his duty to proceed to the last rigour of the law against them, and ex tirpate from the country a nest of assassins. To talk of mercy, in such a case, was rithealotts—" mercy 1711.1 twice blessed, blessing him that glees, a nil him that receives." Was it mercy to these men to I.ave them subject for lira to an odious charge? And was it merry of his Majesty's Attorney-Generat to set ns he had ilo,m in t e matter be. tween the :Ling and the people, against nen. on evidence which he was afterwards afraid to produ e in a Court of Justoce against them l—(tleir).
