Sir RoBEILT WILSON, in rising to present • Pe tition from a person who had been imprisoned un der the Habeas Corpus Suspension Bill, prefaced his observations by stating, that lie had no personal knowledge of the Petitioner, or of the grievances of which he complained—at the same time he knew nothing to cast a doubt on the Petitioner's state ment.-The Petilionta's name was Julio Buchanan, he was a weaver, at the Gorhals, iu GLisgow, and was one of the unfortunate persons who had been deprived of their liberty by au Act which had proved fatal to the liberties of the country. The Petitioner was one of those who had been exposed to a rigorous and solitary imprisonment, without trial or being confronted with his accusers, and who had, since his discharge, been shut out from all re dress, by the enactment of the Indemnity Bill. That Bill denied lain the access which lie woad otherwise have had to a Court of Justice for a redress of his injuries. The ratification of that Bill by a Parliament which should rather have de fended the constitutional rights and liberties of their coustituents, than identified itself with the Admi nistration which hud violated theta, had left the Petitioner without a remedy, and had done more to alienate the good opinion of the people from a reverence for the laws than any thing else which had occurred in the present times. It was no wonder then that melt so aggrieved as the Petitioner was should feel uo confidence in the laws of their country—laws which, by experi ence, they found gave them no protection, which estahlished might for right, and shut out the people from the constitutional redress which their ancestors had provided to shield them from oppression. The Petitioner described, in pointed terms, the length of imprisonment he had endured. Ile had been arrested in February, 1817, and allowed (and this after some days intervention) but ad. a day for his support. lie prayed that the House would grant him such relief as would restore him to the saute credit he held in society before his imprisonment had deranged his affairs. The lion. Member ob served, that he concurred with the Petitioner in thinking, that as the Ilins-e had interposed its authority between the ual and the law which a °old have atlinded loin protection, they were bound to redress the wrong they Iwd aII tads The Petition was brought up, read, sod ordered to be putted. STILLS IN IRELAND. O n the motion of General HART, accounts were ordered of the number of Stills, their size• and produce, licensed in Ireland Irma November, IEII6, to November, 1818, and the amount of duties re ce►ved front the same within that period, distin guishi►sg the amount and number of gallons d►s tilled each year.

STATE OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH IN IRELAND. Sir Joey( NIIIIPuaT then rose to bring forward his motion respecting the State of the Established Church in Ireland. It Was oiecesstery to premise, that iu the year 1806 en inquiry on the present subject had been instituted, in pursuance of an Address from the Howse to the Throne. That Address, which was presented in the year 18014 stated, that oolong all the parts of tre empire, there was nothing which the House viewed with greater concern than the state of the E-toitliketl Church in 'relator!, nor any incolivemetitte cr abuse to which they were more anxious to irin.!y a remedy. In pursuance of the recommeteletetes of thee. Address, a Commission was oppnitin (I, and au irt ve-tigation carried on in the year Its had mentiotied. and a Report of their proceedinge was laid before Parliament by cosmonaut' of his Nlwjesty. July, 1807. One great olet et of that ii quire licit been to discover the number of uelittie which hart in various ways taken place, the authority by which they were made. and the propriety of cone tenecilig Or torpOriaing them.

It might be natuiel to suppoer. from the situation of Ireland under George I. that 'mimes wuuld lane been then carried to a considerable cetera ; but it was equally natural to expect, that as the couritry advanced its improvement. and agriculture came more into use. the opposite effect would follow, and twiny motet' benefices be again dontrited. Hew tar that expec tation had been realised by recent es emits, the House would he enabled to judge fiam the state ments lie was about to make. l)iirtiog a period of sixty-two years after the passnig of the Act, thirty sestets unions had been made ; tai the next twenty years, twenty-five ; and in the last eighteeu years. not less than thirty-four : so that, in pilot o f fact, as tillage had become more general, the unions, instead of diminieliong. bad increased, — in the last year seven parishes were united to suns benefice, with only one church.
