Mr. IV. N tri.hed u Committee should be appointed to ascertain the proptiety of continuing to coiniuunicate with Ireland, by Holyhead, or by Port-yn-Clyne. Mr: Fusisa thought it rather hard the llonse would not give Cie Irish Vleiiihert slow hew a safe mode of couveyance over, but %tithed rather to detain them, until they at their leisure discovered a new and better harbour. Mr. SIIECIDAN hoped the influence of the Cap tain,' of Packets would not prevail against the cause of public utility. IL would be hotter to place both horhuuni on oil equal footing, and by dividing the grant, give each a fair trial. 51LC tNNING tho;i‘ht the MUM DOW stood fairly on its just merits. The Hight Iloit-Geetlenutis wished the respective merits of the two harbours should he ascertained : for this purpose, a register in future should be kept of the tunnber of Irish members who should be clrowitti in their passage ewer by the oily of Holyhead, and also those drowned in their passage by the new !tort. On the annual survey of this account, Purhament might, from the comparative loss or their brethren, ascer tain which was th• best harbour ; a committee might on that draw op a report, and the matter be adjusted to the great satisfaction of all parties hut the sufferers, who, it would be generally admitted, had fallen victims to an experiment for the service of the community. (Loud laughing.). Mr. SHERIDAN complimented the Right Hon. Member for his good-humour and wit, though he could not help observing, that, like a good Irish man, he had made his blunder, in supposiug there were no other persons concerned in this traffic to and from England, beside Members of Parlia ment. There were other comino lines sent over to be sold here. (Laughing.) It was rather singular the present should be supposed a party question be some honest Irish Gentlemen, and no doubt all the Irish l‘lembent were strictly hottest and incor. 'opt ; (Laughing./ But if it were a Only rine.- Con, he was anxious the House should split the dif tfreuce, and come to a decision, that all those who were about • o attend their Parliamentary duty, and coins here for the support of the true interests of that country, to which he believed the Right Hen. Gentleman himself at heart (though secretly) a friend, namely, the cause of the Irish and their iroprescriptible rights, shoo rn fu ture, fbr the preservation of their valuable rotes, and yet more valuable lives, eo by the way of the newly-discovered harbour ; whilst those who were attatched to the opposite party should, for con sistency sake, set sail from Holyhead, at the hazard of their lives • this would be balancing the accoun t to every body's satisfaction, and perhaps to the benefit of the notion. IMPROVEMENTS IS IV EsTmtNRTER. On the proposition of a grant of 75,0001. todefray thee:pollee of`th e m proveme tof Westminster Hall, Mr. BAIMIN rose to oppose the grant, and con cluded with moving an amendment. " That the grant should be diminished to 45M)01." He advert ed to the difiletety of procuring accurate accounts of the espieaditure frosts the office which had the so perinteo&nce of these improvements. Mr. Suzan:Jan ote,creed, that from what he had learned relative to this business, he could not find out the persons at whose desire these alleged im pemetnents took place. All persons denied any knowledge of the plait—lt resembled the ap pointment of • c er t ain Learned Doctor (Duigenati) to the Privy Council. All parties disowned it, be cause there was no one hardy enough to be respon sible for it. Mr. Pvt.

The professed object was to give that [louse a handsoin , i outside, (a lord &NOV ; whereas to s:ieak plain English, Sits pilastres ap peared nothing better than a set of elongations, to which, under certain circatostanccs, they may occa sionally retire. Tr,ser•d laugh.) The SPUAKEt assured the [Luse, that the ma nagement was entirely IA to the Board of Works, and though he was a Coininiesioaer, he was to tally unacquainted with the plan to be pursued, until the building exhibited itself. The CHANCELLOR of the EN.CIIFQUEII agreed in the opinion that was s s general, as to the improper appearance of the buildings. But when ha co n sid ere d th e c l a i ms of the nume rous persons in that parish, which would he af fected by the amendinent, he could iicither sent to demolish the building, or to &sally...int their well-founded hopes, by refusing the original grant.
