In conclusion, he deprecated the idea of waiting for some measure which shonlal , meet all v iews, and rarry universal harmony and conciliation into Ireland ; and submitted that the ball before the House, witbont going. elite so far as perfertion, might yet prodnce very snbstantial advantages to that Country. Mr. V.. PITZIiERA LD expldined. • Sir .1. NEWPORT was decidedly against a delay till the next session. Without some modificaion of the tithe system, it would beln vain to , talk fur peace or teantrillity in Ireland. Col HARRY objected to the compulsory clause, but approved of the general principle of the bill, which he thought would be very beneficial to the intere,ts of the Irish clergy. ' Mr. ARERCROMRY was afraid that the qualifica tions proposed fbr the bill would render the measure nselese. It the compulsory clause were struck out, the evil would be left in foil activity; and, therefore, if that chums were to be removed - from the bill, , he could not eenatent to vote for it. • / • Sir J. STEWART deprecated any °latter, es king , thrown in the telly of the fair operation of the bill. Col.

RESURRECTION Mae AT FAULT.—Thomals 'Vatter, Jeremiah Crouie and Thomas Lee were put to the bar on an indictMent charging them with stealing. on the 12th of April Itot, in the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, a large pattock, the property of the Chttrchwartlens. The particilars of this case have already been inserted in this paper. Mr. Abotarttes objected is the catering to the Jury, on the ground tart th -re was not sothcknt evidence to warrant them in believing that the intention of the pri *oilers was to steal the lock, their purpose being bf a very different nature, namely, the removal of the bodies from the vault. This objection, however, was overruled by the Recorder. Lee called four persona to speak to his character ; the other's said nothing, nor did they call any witnesses. The Jury, after considerable deliberation fogad all the prisoners got Guilty, on the ground that they entertsin rd doubts as to whether the lock produced was the idea. ical one stolen. ------ • aware of the trick.

Just as the boy' got near the ()nor, the prisoner was waiting, and shut taken into custody. As the prisoner obtained nothing in this instance; second ease wss gone into, and Knipe's son, a boy 13, was called, and stated a precisely similar ease. lip' between the prisonei and himself in Fenchureb-stree4 on yesterday week, in which instance she had obtained three mackerel, value Is. each, and Ifs. the change for a sovereign. The misoner, wh3 denied all knowledge of the trans, action, was commit'ed to Newgare for trial. A young man of respectable appearance, was brought before Mi. Alderman Smith, at this office yesterday, charged by his master, Mr. Lloyd, tobacconist, Snow-' hill, with having robbed hint. The prose , utor stated, that knowing the prisoner's fa ther, who heed in a•village in North Wales, lie had been induced to take the prisoner into his servile as a foot 'boy ; and finding him a smart lad, he, at his own ex pease, sent him to school, and paid great attention to him. Witness afterwards placed him in the shop, and advanced him as he thought the prisoner deserved, till he made him a confidential showman. Durieg all this time his conduct was unexceptiooable; and it was not till within a short time, that, money being missed at sun dry times, sad the dress and company of the prisoner be-, ing much above what his circumstances would warrant, he was unwillingly compelled to inspect one who had shared so largely his confide:lW However, nothing certain appeared a'csinst him tilt last Saturday, when one of the witness's other shopmen informed him that he hail seen the prisoner take a half-crown from the till, and sec ret it under a ses:l desk in the shop; where, open swigs, witness found and merimd it—it was afterwards takes away, hot w,thess could not ascertain by whom.— Witness declined clrirging the prisoner then, as he was anxious to have sumething decisive against him. "On Thursday evening, be wai again Informed that the pri soner had taken tnocey from the 611,—three half-crowns and some small silver. He no longer !midi-sled uto the steps be should take, but directly charged the prisoner, wide 'whir robbed him.

The prisoner made no defence, lint apprivg4 Much agitated while Mr Lloyd was making the Omar statement. 'The Worthy Alderman remarked upon theingraiiticle of the pri“inee, and slid his cells was very great in a moral point of view—ingralitnd being in all ages and countries considered as the vile t indications of a bad. ', ru m However, be was inclined to think, from circum stances, that the prisoner • had been thoughtlessly led ihto company not at 411 prop .r for one in his situation, anti had been tempted to codunit the offence fruiu a &lieu t o r dress, and to make an sppearanre neither suitable to his means nor pirpertations. • Entering into the views of Mr. Lloyd, his Worship said that the best mode to be pursued with the prisoner, would be to let his .fa,thet .4, kenieltellt be was eitiateti, that he might take weevil , ' reset*, ling from IFltl litigant connections..and* settle hint in some way refooto froortemptation.

There are too many young men ruined by the temptations pat in their way by their wasters, in consequence of the latter abiding by the absurd custom of a till to hold what the master's pockets should contain J BO fRECT.--CABRIOLETII V. H•CKNEY-COACHIII.-- Mr. Joe. Arnold, of Duck-lane celebrity, a gentleman well known in the Funcycircles, appeared upon a sum mons, leaned under the Highway Act, to answer the complaint of Jasper Lincoln, the driver of a back-ca briolet. Ou Saturday, the 3d inst., Jasper Lincoln drove a lady and gentleman in his cabriolet to Acton, and in returning empty, he called at a puhlic-house in that village to give his horse some water. Here he found Mr. J. Arnold also watering his horses—for Mr. J. Arnold, when there is nothing particular piing on in the "fancy line," some times amuses himself with driving a jareey, and upon the present occasion, looking upon himself at a represen tative of the "jarrey Interest,"he determined upon show ing off against " the cabriolet interest." So. as soon at Jasper Lincoln drove up to the door, Mr. Jos. Arnold began, by " d —g all cabriolets, and them what set 'em a going!" Jasper Lincoln took no notice of this sweeping attack, and then Mr. Joseph Arnold descended pettmonlities, by el—i all cabriolets and them 'what 'elinve 'em Mi net 'one • own Imsiness, Mr. Arnold," said Jasper Lincoln; " you are a very `end roan in your way, I believe ; and you mind your concerns and I'll mind mine." " Wo't gallop wi' me ?" asked "Mr. Joseph Arnold. " No," replied Jasper; " I w'll tint." " Wolfight wi' me ?". asked Mr. Joseph Arnold. "No," replied Jasper, " I'll have no thing at all to do with you." " Than 11—mme I'll run tket'doten !" rejoined Mr. Joseph Arn 'III. And he did his best to be as good as his word ; for when Jasper Lin coln hail watered his !One anti drove off towards town, Mr. Joseph Arnold instantly mounted the box of his coach, gagnpe I after him, and, coming abreast of him, suddenly pulled in upon the cabriolet with the iseentino, as it appeared, of throwing the cabriolet over into the ate sr-side ditch. But it dhl not mower: for Jasper Lin coln bring upon his gu.rd, checkhd las horse and barked nut of his way. Mr. Joseph Arnold; being thus foiled in his muting-down scheme, placed his jarvey right arrows the road, and swore he wotil I tither snake him turn hack or keep him where he was all night. At this moment, however, a gentleman, coining along the road nn foot. saw what was going on, and got into the cabrio let, observing that. be should then be a witness of Mr. Joseph Arnold's conduct—should he otter any further obstruction. Upon this, Mr. Joseph Arnold thought proper to toddle 'off with his jarvey ; and Jasper Lin coln and his friendly fare quietly pursued their way to town. The Magistrate now culled upon Mr. Joseph Arnold for his defence—ill-it asking him if he was only the driver •f the hsekoey coach in question ? " No," rPpliefl Mr. Joseph Arnold, " No—l'm both driver and proper-rioter. " No doubt of it," rejoined his Worship ; " and watt bare von to eat lever defence?"

The officers, however, satieteded in securing eight men and two women, whom they lodged fur the night in Eagle street watch-house, and yesterday they were brought up for examination et the police-office, Hatton-garden. Thomas Stevenson and John Foggerty, two blacksmiths giving a satisfactory account of themselves, were die charged, after a lecture on the danger of mixing with such pentane. The other six (youths,) and the two yoong women, being known to he of bad repute, and not giving a satisfactory account of their manlier of living, were committed for want•of bail. Quxas-souaae.—Yesterday, Richard Martin, Esq. M.p, attended at this °Mee, to prefer a charge of furious driving, and likewise of cruelty to his horses, against William Wells, driver of the stage-coach, No. 4,391, belonging to John Col lins. of Blackheath. Mr. Martin stated, that on Tuesday evening, he saw the stage-coach driven by the defendant drawn by four horses, driving furiously down Whitehall, and he Bogging the horses wilt all his might, till one of the leaders All, sad the coach passengers as well us the street passengers were very much alarmed ; instead of endeavouring to get up the horse in a proper manner, he kept whipping it, and caused the horse to beat its head and kick violently against the pavement ; when spoken to, however, he conducted himself with great elvllity. 144 Mr. Semite!
