He felt Annie, horror, and disgust, when be learned that Inn llon.tientlemen, Members of that !louse, had, at the beck of the Noble Lord opposite, orrenderol up the liberties and Constitution of the , ou try. That was a practice growing unfortunately but he trusted the People would take no ti ce of .i tt t e 'i u'e co ncloct of that Wiese. Parliament hail been aseem ekl at an unnsnally late period ; and the Speech from the Throne contained three times more respecting- Ire- Istul than ant previou s speech h . id clone. He could not Wien that Ireland was in the state deoctibed—that re k abroad in the field, whilst the King in his s o ya used the terms he had done when speaking of tti.a country. He doubted not that disturbances did exist is Ireland, lint disturbances were yen , different front re. lhe papers lying on the table were the most it kn ee that could possibly be conceived. If the coun try were is a state of rebellion what had produced it ? t He wont l answer the neglect, the apathy of the Noble lor.l.—(Hear.)—The Member for Donegal haul said, last *Out, that the dietorhaners were notorious in November lay, and that they would increase might then have been anticipated. If so, who was to blame for the present state of the country? Those who were guilty of that nealectao.liodifference of which he (Lord F.) haul just spokes.

The Noble Lord hail himself admitted that no cause at present existed to call for its enactment; but that, indeed, circumstances might arise in which it might be appliemble. What were those cir militant-es ? An Hun.

There was no evi drew of rebellion —no inention of it, either in tholiing's Speech ur the despatches of the Noble Marquess; out flow only were spoken of ; and becanse ontrages were perpetrated in the disterbed districts, his Hon. Friend would assist in peeling a Bill subversive of the liberties of an entire kingdom. altlicrigh lie, in the same breath, confessed that the Bill was neither applicable nor necen asey.—thear, hesr.)—His Right Hon. Friend (Sir Jobs Newport)lul relinqnislied his opposition to the Bills, locust their enactment hail been recommended by the Marquess Wellesley. Had that Noble Lord himself eeptersed a wish for the passing of those Bills, it was the dilly of Ministers to hare etated it three days ago ; but his deepatebee contained nothing to that effect. He (Lord Folkstone) begged he might not he deemed un civil, when he declared it appeared doubtful that the Noble Marquess haul repressed such a wish ; no grounds appeared, at 1 -ant, for the assertion. Ministers were like the rest of mosikind ; the inure pourer they enjoyed, the more they songlit for. llte Marquess 'Well *ler was a man of brilliant talents; hail rail a brilliant ewer. Bisonaparte was a tyrant ; bat be did sot mean Wilma:me* Nat the Marquess Welle•ley was also a tenet. Lord Wellesley bad displayed resolution, trig' Uwe, activity, and determination in the pursuit of his ,lints; Le was, therefore jest the very person who was most likely to seek to render a brilliant reputation more brilrtaat by power and command. He meant no dis tespect to the blarqness Wellesley, when lie said that, losing exactly sects a man as he had described, lie was, therefore, precisely , the sort of man to whom power ought to be refused. He (Lord Folketone) had examined into the former character of Lord Wellesley in former times, avid he did not think him a man in *arse hands he would place power. 'flue Solute Lord flfin shortly reviewed directions of the Marquess Wellesley in India, with reference to his ronduct towards the Princes of blysore, , Le Nabob of Oncle, the Nabob of the Caen tic, of Kepatd, fee. and derlared that the conduct of the Nolile Marquess in India wan exactly that of Ruonaparte in Europe. Knowing that, he found in it a mimi c: km fraStie fur refusing to clothe hint with despotic power. 'lhe character of the Noble Ma rqness was the only ground fur his (Lord Folkstone's) Honourable Friend. (Sir J. Newport) withdrawing his opposition to the Bills; and 'lon precisely the reason why he (Loral F.) should per sist in his vote against them. Auother reason, it was true, hail been stated for :amine those Bills to pass— they were prepared by Mr. Plunkett. He (Lord Folke stone) had a perfect recollection of that Learned Gentle man's debattion of Mow y, and would therefore, if for no other reason, oppose lieu, to the last.

(Corers.)-0n those grounds only had he proposed those Acts, ana on those grounds only had he called upon the house to agree to them.—(Cheers.) Dr. LIISHINGTON complained of the ignorance in Ithich the house and the country had been kept previ ew to the introduction of the Bills. He doubted whe ther. even so late as Tuesday last, Ministers themselves bed made up their own minds. He doubted also the n ame offered last night fur consenting to the postpone ment of the Committee on the Bills to this night. The Learned Gentleman after recapitulating and concurring in the arguments of his Hon. Friends who had pre ceded him in opposing the Bills, reverted to the 1 animadversions of the Noble Marquess (Londonderry) on Isis (Dr. Lushington's) Noble Friend (horst Folk stone.) The Noble Marquess bad said that his Noble Friend (Lord F.) stood alone en the charges brought against the Marquess Wellesley; but let it not be for gotten that many great men. now no more. bad some:- ed those charges. Amongst those were Sir S. Hannilly, Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Sheridan, and even Mr. Windham. —(bear.)—lf his Noble Friend had been in error, he bad cried in company with some of the greatest names upon the records of that House.—(hear )—ilia Noble Friend had a right to revert to the former conduct of the Marquess Wellesley as a ground for refusing to arm I' with despotic power. IVhen Mr. Sheridan 'ban cloned the charges against Lord Wellesley during the administration of his (Mr. Sheridan's) friends, he (Dr. Ltishington) asked him why he had done so? The au stere of Mr. Sheridan was. " that he did not bring for ward those charges against Lord Wellesley, because he would not run the risk of dissolving the Administra tion."—(bear.)--Ht (Dr. Leshington) believed that the Marquess Wellesley had been saved by a compact; and Ise would condemn Mr. Sheridan for his conduct, so contrary to that independence and honesty which no g to influence every action of a great public man. '1 Marquess Wellesley had been, in his (Dr. Lushington's) opinion, carried away by the brilliant Prospect of en larging our territory. without considering very scru pulously the justice of the means by which his ends were to be attained. He was not, therefore, a man to whose lime di.rit the liberties of the entire population of a country were to be subjected, without a tribunal to appeal to; fur there was no doubt a Bill of Indemnity would be passed to secure him from consequences. Ile gave the Marline's Wellesley credit for the intention to perform his dusty honestly, bnt he would not answer for his discretion. He would mention one instance of oppression which. under the suspension of the Habeas Corpus, had been nearly committed on the person of a most respectable Itumau Catholic Gentle man io Ireland, and who was, at the period of which 1 he (Dr. Lushington) spoke, nearly seventy years of age. A report having reached the old gentleman's son, by some means, that a warrant had been issued against Isis father. be went le Duldin—inquire,) into the tact, and was told he haul been misinformed. He reuses ed to his father's house—the information was reiterates, —he set off for Dublin once more—went to the Carle. and saw the then Secretary of State(tlse Noble Marquees opposite). and learned that a warrant for High Treason had brew issued against his father. Oe an explanation, he convinced the Noble Secretary of the falsehood of the charge, and procured an order for the release of his father, with which he reached hotue just in time to pre vent his being dragged to prison. —[The Learned Gentle man Isere alluded to the evidence they hail from Hon Members of the danger of intrnsting great powers to the Magistracy of Ireland, and referred to the ease of a murderer named Seanlan, who although sitting in com pany with die Magistrates, the latter dared not venture to arrest hinaj—When Irish Gentlemen said that Irish Magistrates were not worthy of being trusted, he (Dr. I ) would not, as an Englishman, consent to place in their hands the liberties of the people. !duels stress bad been laid upon the clause, by Ishich a King's Serjeant or Counsel was added to the Magistrates in the consti tution of the Court. Ile knew not trust Irish Serjeants were. hot (fixing his eye upon a Learned Serjeant opposite) he would prefer being tried by the worst Jury in England to being tried by any English Serjeant in existence.—(Lou.) latighter.)—lt was the duty of the Government to do all that in them lay to ascertain the causes of all those evils, and then to apply a remedy to them. Against those ev;ls that were the result of habits and disposition in the people, it was not so easy fur Government to provide remedies; but of this he was certain, that, in the political world, diligence and honesty on the part of the rulers would he sufficient, if not to make • people happy, at least to prevent those ebullitions of discontent, the existence of which all now deplored in Ireland. Being of opinion, then, that the statements on which the proposed measures were de manded dill not furnish adequate grounds for them, and that, even if strong measures were necessary, the pro posed ones were not those which would be effectual, be should give his negative to the motion. Mr. LOCKHART said that it would be with great re luctance indeed that be should consent to intrust to any body of men such extraordinary powers as the Insurrec tion Bill would give them. But he should be departing widely indeed from the suggestions of duty as well as humanity, if he allowed the system of outrage that was at present going on in Ireland to proceederithout an effort to check and suppress it. Ile wasaware that the distresses of the poor in Ireland were very extensive and galling. But he was afraid that it was not ro much the interposition of the Legislature that mean wanted, as a more wholesome state of relation between the landlord and tenant. Mr. S. RICE admitted the necessity of an immediate remedy to the pressing evils in Ireland—he admitted' even that some snch measure as the second Bill should be enacted; but if he consented to pass such a measure it must he on a modified plan, and accompanied by the al terations which he would take an opportunity of pro posing at the bringing up of the Report of this Bill. 'flie first alteration would remove front the Bill the el nse which suspends the Trial by Jury. Juries had been tried—they were found etfi..ient and conscientious men. Be would ask if any one of the Judges on the 'Me Npecial Commission had ever intimated that enough of men could not be found firm and conscientious enough to discharge the duty of honest jurors. Why then dis pense ii i:11 the form? The next alteration would em brace a anise empowering the Magistrates before the Special sossions to admit to bail. The third would give the Government the power of appointing individnak, subject, of course, to the usual qualifications, as Justices• altos. Peace, to Act under the authority of tisis Statute. ilisohj,rt here was to remedy the illl7ollV , '!lleime. which might arise from the circuusstanre of there being very large districts, in various counties, where non of the comity Magistrates resided, and where, of coarse, it would be impos.ilsle, in any convenient time, to assernhle a sulfirient number to act on a particular swca•i3n.

Mr. CALCRAFT felt it his duty to state meow for "Plonk.' the Proposed oloooares. Ififor one, did not like an luserreetims Act—be did not like the sespeasion of the Habeas Corpus A ct; h et h e bad a still greater dislike for rebellion ; —(b ear .)—S ome gentlemen pro- posed Initial law, awing at the same time their op farto measures so extensive as the Bills of the Lord. IVhat! would those geatheinen in their humanity subject the whole country, innocent and guilty, to the terrific consequences of martial law, rather than Intrust a comparatively mild measure in the heads of a temperate Government, which would have the power of applying it to sueb places as in its discretion it might see it ? The Magistracy of Ireland had been complained of. To be sure, the body of the Magistracy embraced many unworthy members ; bat was he, on that account. to withdraw from the body at large, whom he believed, in general, to be very worthy of the trust, the powers which it was necessary for the safety of the country they should be armed with ? He heard absenteeship stated as one of the causes of the calamities of Ireland. Ile believed it was. Bat that evil, he was afraid, never would be cured effectually. He believed it would never he cured at all, if those respectable men who dared to reside in the country—who bore the brunt of the attack as they did, in many instances, with the utmost courage —if such persons were not intrusted with the power to suppress rebellion, and the disorders which threatened their lives and properties. In conclusion, he should ob , that he never could bring himself to believe that a man wl.o lured fame as the Marquess Wellesley did. would think of calling for useless and unnecessary mea sures—that lie should open his administration by de manding such, and thereby tarnish the whole progress of it in future, whatever was its character otherwise. Mr. WM. LAMB said he would support the bill, from I his confidence in his Majesty's ministers, and his sanfi deuce in the noble lord (IVellesley) to whose hands the execution of this power would be chiefly confided. He would also support the present bill from the confidence he had in the gentlemen of the sister country, who, he was satisfied, would do every thing in their power to carry it into effect. While he voted for those strong Measures on the ground of their pressing necessity, no man felt more deeply for the distresses of Ireland than be aid, and no man was more anxious that it should be governed with the most liberal policy. He would there fore go as far as any for an inquiry into the cause of the present disturbances, with a view of reuiosing them if possible. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON restated his objections to the measures. He admitted that some unusual means were necessary to repress the outrages that were now prevail ing in the country ; but he was of opinion that an increase of military force would be sufficient for the pur pose. Colonel DAVIES considered strong meamres neces sary, but could not agree with his Hon. Friend that a large military force was the means Ow ought to be em ployed for the purFose of putting down the evils com plained of. The House then resolved itself into a Committee.— The Bill having passed the Committee, the house re sumed. Mr. BROM/EN then brought up the Report, and, on the motion that it be read, Mr. SPRINO RICE proposed his first alteration in the Bill, by virtue or which the trial by Jury would ►e given to the prisonertried under this Act.—lt was nega tived without &division. Mr. RICE proposed the seeondelteration, empowering She justices under the Act to admit the prisoners to bail. ..—This was also negatived. A division then took place on the clause proposed by Mr. Rice, to give the benefit of a trial by a Jury, before the Magistrates, to the prisoners tried under the Act. The house then divided, when the numbers for the ataedment were 30—against it 139. We understood that during our exclusion from the gal lery the Bill was passed. HABEAS CORPUS ACT SUSPENSION HILL. On our re-admission, we found the SPtaxita putting the question, that this Bill be committed in a Committee of the whole house. strangers were again ordered to withdraw, when a division took place—For the commit ment, 127—Against it, 31i—Majarity, 91. When we were again admitted, we found that the house bad resolved itself into the said Committee. The Bill passed through it, and the house baying resumed, Mr. BROGDEN brought up the Report. It was im• ineiliat..ly received, and the amendments 'which it pro posed were agreed to. On the SPEAKER putting the question that the Bill be read a third time, Sir F. BURDETT rose to express a hope that Minis ters, before they passed it, would pledge themselves to the Irish nation to pursue a conciliatory line of policy in future, and not to introduce a Bill of indemnity, to shelter the outrages which might be committed under it. —(llear, hear.) Mr. DENMAN rose to inform the I-100. Baronet of a fact of which he appeared to be ignorant, that the Insur rection Act contained a clause which answered all the purposes of a Bill of Indemnity.—(Hear, hear.) —The Learned Gentleman protested crungly against the pre cipitancy of the measure, and suggested the propriety oh the Magistrates having a Barrister of ten years standing to assist them with good legal advice. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL denied that the clause to which his Learned Friend alluded. afforded indemni v to MAgktrates who should maliciously atm.e the powers intrusted to them, and contended at some len,tli that it only ga v e them that protection to which they were entitled, tinder the il:tricult circumstances in which they were fre quently placed. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that if the clause in question gave no more protection to the Magistrate in Ireland than was already given to him by the law in England. there could he no harm in leaving it out altogether.— (Hear, bear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that in England this power was given to the magistrates by a specific act of Parliament, hut it was nut so in Ireland. Mr. II:till:11AM had not read M.Nally's Justice, and therefore could not tell what the law in Ireland was. Ile could hard y suppose that nothing had been dune in Ire land to protect the Magistracy since the acts of James I. and George 11. had passed in Englatiii. Mr. stituirr objected t tenngly to the ainhiztiou sman ner in which t he whole of this bill was drawn iip, and pointed out three distinct clauses, in %bleb the construc-1 lion of the hill was, in his opinion, liable to doubt.. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL controverted the legal doetrieea laid down by the Hon. Member who bad pre cede I him. The Bill was then read a third time without a 11.. S.

A mistake took place in the reports of yesterday 4f the divisions in the House of Commons. The first division took place on the motion for leave to bring i ► the Habeas Curp:fs Bill, which was carried by 195 6S.

Ma mos-nous c.—WADDINGTON,—Yesterday Par ton, the Bow•street offimr, appeared to answer vie charge of Waddington, for an assault. He was at. tended by Mr. liomphreys, the solicitor. Wadilint:ton stated, that en the Sib inst. Purr's came into his shop, No. 55, Fleet•street, and cumin r behind the counter, took up some Waite paper, an collared him (Waddington), saying that he ivws h prisoner. Waddington asked him by what authority. Parton chewed a peace officer's stag, " whittit," slid Waddington, " any one might have for sispence ; but be 'hewed nu other authority, but threatened t.) blow my brains out if I wade any resistance." Wad dington proceeded to stale, that in spite of Parton's endeavours to hold him, and in total disregard of his threat of shooting him, he disengaged himself frond him. _ _ _ Two City Olcers came into the shop soon after. an I told Waddington that Purton was not a City Officer. 66 which," said the Radical, " had I known sooner. I should have treated him accordingly; and now, In. , Lord (to the Lord Mayor), I appeal to your Lord.tii in defence of the privilege of the City of London, at well as of the outraged laws of the country." In r. ply to a question from Mr. llumphreys, WI I diogton said that the parrs which Purton took ua before he collared him were printed papers ; bet th he had only n,ed them as waste paper, never liarin ;- sold and• of them Nunn, the officer, being called on to answer the charge, said he saw printed papers lying in the w:•t low which bad nut the printer's name, the satue it others he had received at the shop from Waddingt when making a purchase there on the 111th of Jani ary. He here produced one of the papers, which wt.§ beaded, " An Address to all the Public except th • Robbers;" and proceeded to say, that cunsiderin; himself justified by law in seizing the papers, aa•l bringing Waddington before a Magistrate to atr:.ver for exposing them, he weld into the shop f o r that pin.: pose. fie atio.itted that he collared Waddington, but denied that he threatened to blow his brains wit ; but that Waddington having said the frien•ls of liberty, who were outside of the house, meaning a mob who had collected, would not allow him to he taken, he (Parton) said if any one were to interfere, he wo•rl bluff► his brains out. He stated that he had nut at the time any tire-ants about him. 't he facts being sated on both sides, Mr. firm• plireys produced the act of the 39tH tiro. lIL, !I T which it is enacted, that if any person shall sell, or any tnattner expose to public vine, any priutet paper on which the name of the printer shalt not be printed, it shall he lawful fur any of his N) stoti..cti to tale such persm before a Justice of the Peace to 3..• wee for the said offence.
