THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20, 1923. PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY. Irt THE Houtz OF LORDS—Nothing took place last night of any importance. Their Lordships seemed to be almost wholly taken up with motions and infor mation relative to the Marriage Act. vise Commorss.—The new Turnpike Act ap pears to be nndergoing some revision; but of what, naltre or tendeney we do not clearly understand. We ehhirwatch this Act ; for, the Act of last Session will he attempted to bo put in force. It is perfectly outrageous, as applicable to many parts of the coun • tl.y.---Jesuits in Brownlow presented three petitions, from different parts of Ireland, com plaining that the Jesuits had, by their machinations, stirred up mischief in that country ; and that they had established thenaselvesthere,and particularly in thesouth. We look upon this as the on-set of a very great struggle. The Orangemen, that is to say, the resolute Protestants, who possess many good things, and who are by no means insensible of the value of .the possession, seem resolved not to wait for the enemy. They have begun the attack ; and, according to all their former prac tice, we have not the smallest doubt of seeing them push on with vigour. None of the ministers, nor of the ministerial people, said any thing upon the subject. But Mr. Hutchinson, and Sir 11. Parnell positively de nied that there was any such thing as an establishment of Jesuits in Ireland ; and Mr. Hutchinson expressed a wish to have the petition rejected. Mr. Rice said . there was no crime in their being an establishment of Jesuits in Ireland. And he acknowledged that there was prevailing an opinion in Ireland that they had esta blished themselves there. Mr. Brownlow said that he could cot say precisely where the Jesuits were este- Hished. Sir John Newport was for receiving the petition. Mr. Brougham said that this was the first time the Jesuits had ever been accused of promoting igno rance and darkness; for that they were the patrons of edmeation. A good deal depends upon the meaning which we attach to the word education. If by education is meant mere book learning, the Jesuits may be the Alatrwas of that for any thing that we knout but, in spite of the vileinfilepresentatlon now pouting forth upon Ma. Bankes, on acrount of what he is falsely said to have said upon the subject, we abide by our opinion expressed and addressed to the labouring classes, in the little work called " COTTAGE ECONosltij" to which work, if an answer can be given, we should like to see that answer. In the mean time, let this serve to check the abuse which is now pouring forth upon Mr. Bankes; that as the schools, as the tracts, as all these new inventions have been increasing, so has the character of the people of England been changing for the worse; so has idleness, so bave immo ralities; so have crimes of all sorts been increasing. These facts are notorious, along with the increase of what is called edacatioe, has been the increase of the severity of the criminal law. We should like to hear the educators give some explanation of this. We have never been ad mirers of Mr. Bankes's political conduct; but we de test these vile misrepresentations ; and we believe, besides, That that which is imputed to him was uttered by his son and not by him.---As to the Jesuits, we think that the errors which they are said to inculcate are as little mischievous, at any rate, as the workings of the Methodists, though the ellorliaz Chronicle . would have the Methodists encouraged, in order to counteract the Jesuits.---The same paper cannot see why an establishment of this sort in Ireland can be worse than an establishment of the same sort at Stoney- Hurst in Lancashire. This may be very true ; but what has this to do with the question. We, for our parts, have not the smallest doubt, that the Catholic priests, in a state of perfect toleration and an absence of all religious establishments by law, would, in the course of half a century drive out the priests of all other sects, as wea l; is drive rats out of a barn. The Catholic priests are powerful, not on account of their doctrines or their faith ; but, on account of their manners, and particularly on account of their un-married state. They alwaws were more esteemed and beloved by the people than the priest of any other faith, and they al ways n ill be. If we could have our will, they should have a fair run, as they had in America ; and then • thera would be no more quarrels about the matter. — That which is of the greatest interest, however, as connected with these petitions, is, the I leer proof which . they afford of the resolution of the Orangemen not to be beaten an inch from their ground ; and to this re solution we are confident they will adhere, until a to tal *change shall take place in the manner of conduct ing the affairs of Ireland. Lieutenant-General of Lie Ordnance.—Mr. Hume had a stout battle to fight last night upon this subject. He was opposed by Mr. Ward and Mr. Canning, who . incite a most furious attack upon him. Long stories were told by them of the sincerity of the Duke of Wel lington, of his wondrous abilities and services; then of the wondrous abilities and services of Lord Beresford ; and, at last, Mr. Canning, after it had been proposed by Mr. Mac Donald that Mr. Hunie should withdraw his motion, declared that he would not let him with draw it. .The House at last divided for Mr. Hume, and 200 agaiast him. The only persons that spoke on the side of Mr. Hume, were Mr. Williams, and Mr. James Mac Donald. Mr. Hume received the fu rious charge of the enemy, with coolness and with all that persevering courage which has marked the whole of his conduct.—He does not appear to have been at all daunted by the conduct of his foes; nor by that of his • FR I ENDS." We know well that the people will every where dejtstice to Mr. Hume. What could be Z - \ THE STATESMA more proper- Asa *iv motion ;•• more proper' than to say that the giving of this unnecessary salary to this Lord was contrary to the professions of economy put by the Ministers into. the speech from the Throne. What amid be more true than this? %that more sacred duty to the people, than to make this MO: 1100 ? Yet, see the result!—However, let Mi. Hume have only a little patience; let him persevere, as he certainly will ; let him not be discouraged, though only one single man vote with him; nay, though he stand by himself; let him persevere, end he will see that the people will know how to distinguish between him and Isis " FRIENDS." Alas! those dear friends, to coney« with whom Mr. Canning kindly recommended him; those dear friends have very different views from Mr. Hume. Let him, however, work on as be is working, and he need not care much about those dear friends. During the evening, a notice was given by Lord Folk stone, relative to a petition that he meant to present to morrow, regarding the wrong complained of by a more gager. His Lordship said it was his intention to ground a subsequent motion upon this petition. We shall be very toxicity; to see the purport and tendency of this petition and motion ; for this tooches the great point of. all namely, that necessity for rectifying contracts.; on which , necessity we have so often :nsinted. BOURBON WAR: • It seems now to be agreed on 41 hands, that the French will Invade Spain. 'fbe French funds, however, occasionally rise and fall. To be sore, and the French must be great fools indeed not to keep the thing vibrat• ing, until the ldst moment, in order that they may win as much money as they please in the English funds. We sold, long ego,. that if we were French Ministers, we would get the money oat of England to carry on the war with ; and this is what they really seem to be doing. ASTONISHING PERVERSENESS. The Morning Chronicle repeats again to-day, that an improved commerce trill "create a consumption which t annot be controlltd, either by bank paper or by Peel's Bill." This paper seems to have formed the deadly re• solution t 3 prevent any effectual r lief being given to the land. Nearly the whole of the press is, indeett, included in the jew and jutbing combination ; bat this paper is per'ec ly deadly in its resolution. It seems resolved, at all risks, to do every thing in its power to blind the land lords and to delude them on to their desirncion; and, if it cannot succeed in that, to stir np all possible hostili ty against them. Its sranda'ous partiality in the case of Mr. Richards's letter, is a clear proof that it will leave nothing untried, fair or fuel. STOCK EXCHANGE, HALF PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK.— Although three expresses bare arrived train Parrs this morning,bringing the French Funds SO, 3 cents. which is an improvenieut, our Cansoll opened at ;311, at which price they remain, with little business doing. Private ac counts frau] Paris state, that there is a strong pa-ty in tlsa F retack 4alinet wishing to-lsautawagai r e.gf Spain to the mediation of England, knowing that the Spaniards would sooner comply with the request of the British Ca binet than with that of France. It is also positively stated, that a Trea'y of Commerce has lnen signed be tween this country and that of Spain. There is yet NA orin;on in the city that war will sot take place.

The Journal dee Debate, hooerer, contains a private letter from Zante, dated January 6, which states, that out of 32,000 Turks who entered the Norco last August, only 8, or 9,000 now remain, and these are blockaded in the Acropolis of Corinth ; and it is adde I that the English Government has forbidden re lief to be tent to the fortified places in the Morea, which had been declared by the Greeks in a state of blockade.

This wits an action brought by the plain iir, a respeet. able tradesman. to recover from the defendant, a 'ri m e. liter, residing at the Regent's Canal, compensation in damages for an assault committed by him upon the plain. tiff's son. Mr. Pimurs stated the case for the plaintiff. On the 34 of September last the tleferdaut's son, in a playlet mood, was throwing up his hat near the defendant's premises and it fell over the defendant's gattlen-wall ; 'the boy climbed over the wall to recover his hat, abide lay under an apple -tree, from which some apples hail dropped ou the ground. The boy, tempted by th 4 apples, took two ofthent ; hut no sooner had he done so than the defendant seized him, and said he nuald hang him, drown him, and Bibb ti him. The boy rT platned to the defendant Ids reason fur getting over the well, and offered the defendant a shilling for the apple*, hut all reinenstove was in vain, and tl.e defendant dragged the boy about 150 yards t r a pond, in which he immersed the buy, alto cried out "murder!" and a crowd of persons assembled ; but before pithy persona had assembled, the defendant took the bly to the crvie, suspended him by a rope about his middle, and, by werl... ing the crane, p'aced him at the other side of the canal, where the buy extricated himself and ran away. l e .

Mr. Outwits, for the defendant, said, this was merely • qntstion of damages. lie did nit mean to justify tl e conduct of the defendant; but he trusieJ that the Jury wauld m tke some excuse for a man who found a how in Vie act of robbing his garden, and nould be of opinion that very trifling damage.; would meet the justice of the case.

Mr.(ivaxev said, that the plaintiff was a milliner, who sought to recover the amount of her hill for arti cles of dress furnished to the defendant, whose name was familiar to the public as a performer at the theatre. A negocistion here took place between the Counsel and Attornies in the cause, which ended in withdrawing a 'jt:r..r, on terms which did not transpire. OLD BAILEY.—(Tore Aloßxmo.)

Benjamin Moore, a young man of genteel appearance was placed at the bar, charged on an indictment with assaulting General Kerr, on the King's Highway, with in ent to take and carry away his goods and money. General Kerr stated, that on the 7th of Feb. last, he dined at the United Servire Club, and shortly after right o'. lot k, in going holm be had occasion to cross St. Jarnes's•square, and just as he had passro the hate of th.f la . e Lord Londooderry and witi•in a short distance of Dike -street, he received a violent blow on the back of his head; witness had a cloak on, which confined his lima, an I his teals and chain were exposed The blow is a g eat degree stunned and pariah sel him, and feeling tie , able to resist and finding hums: if falling, he tarred half round arwl seised the iroa rails. which supported hiss: as that warns he saw a man close to I.lm, sanding in a posture to rep at the b'o.r, which his imagination led him to believe am with an enchincets stick; but on refire. lion he thought it meld not have tern a stick, or his scull must hove been fractured ; he called 'oddly for help; a second blow was not given, and the man ran awe:" The night was_dark, but there were three gas lamps on the apposite side of the nay; too er pa-^-.s were walking there, one of them poesne I the man that ran from him, and the other cam over to his assistance.
